"As long as you die, you know friendship; if you are poor and rich, you know friendship; if you are expensive and cheap, you have friendship." - "Historical Records Jizheng Biography"
Speaking of the name Zhang Yufeng, many young people may not have Heard of it, but for some older people, the name may be familiar. Because Zhang Yufeng was Chairman Mao's personal secretary, he accompanied Chairman Mao for 14 years until his death in 1976.
Of course, for more people, Zhang Yufeng is always shrouded in a strange sense of mystery. Especially with the label "Chairman Mao's personal secretary" on her body, many people are also very interested in her later life. So, what happened to her who accompanied the chairman for 14 years?
Personal Secretary
In 1944, Zhang Yufeng was born in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. Because her family was too poor, she dropped out after finishing the sixth grade of primary school. She was only 14 years old that year. Of course, to make a living, the 14-year-old had to go out and find a job.
Coincidentally, Zhang Yufeng encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that is the recruitment of railway bureau. So Zhang Yufeng tried to apply for the exam. Originally, she herself had no hope, but unexpectedly, she was really hired.
As a result, Zhang Yufeng became a passenger railway passenger, which not only solved the problem of livelihood, but also had the opportunity to travel south and north with the train to see Tiananmen Square.
In the autumn of 1960, the Ministry of Railways went to Zhang Yufeng's unit to select special train personnel. Because of her serious work and her diligence and ability, Zhang Yufeng, who was only 16 years old, was selected to be the conductor of the special train for the central government. Not long afterward, Zhang Yufeng became a staff member on Chairman Mao's special train again.
For a girl in bloom, Chairman Mao is an imaginary existence. In fact, working on Chairman Mao's special train is not much different from her usual work, because there are more than ten carriages on the special train, and the chance of seeing Chairman Mao is really slim.
However, Zhang Yufeng is a lucky enough girl. In 1970, Zhang Yufeng was transferred to work next to Chairman Mao. Since then, Zhang Yufeng and Chairman Mao have become familiar with each other, and soon, he has become a personal secretary who takes care of Chairman Mao's life. Later, Chairman Mao's secretary Xu Shifu died, and Zhang Yufeng also served as the chairman's confidential secretary.
The fate of a person's life may sometimes not be completely under his control. For Zhang Yufeng, it seems even more so. This ordinary girl from a small border town never dreamed that she would be able to "go to the sky in one step", enter the circle of "great leaders", and become a personal secretary by the chairman's side until Chairman Mao's death.
For many people, Zhang Yufeng's living conditions can basically be guessed when he accompanied Chairman Mao. On weekdays, it is to take care of Chairman Mao's daily life. At work, he may read confidential documents to Chairman Mao and so on. But after Chairman Mao's death, many people don't know how Zhang Yufeng is doing.

Life in his later years
After the death of Chairman Mao, Zhang Yufeng left Zhongnanhai and walked out of the red wall. In fact, this is also expected. Fourteen years of company, perhaps Zhang Yufeng has long regarded Chairman Mao as his family. But when people take tea to cool, she will continue to live after all. After

Of course, Zhang Yufeng had an uncomfortable life. Later, at her own request, she was transferred back to the Ministry of Railways and became an ordinary cadre.
Working in the Ministry of Railways, Zhang Yufeng is still as serious, meticulous and diligent as when he was a commissioner on the train many years ago.
Of course, it is different from the previous life. No longer serving as Chairman Mao's personal secretary, Zhang Yufeng's life seems to be a lot easier all of a sudden. In addition to working in the Veteran Cadre Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, she has more time to spend with her husband Liu Aimin, and more time with her two daughters. The family of four understands each other, supports each other, and lives happily and harmoniously.
Zhang Yufeng in his later years seems to have suddenly become kind and kind. This girl who was once called "the descendant of Zhang Fei" by Chairman Mao and who directly contradicted him was always smiling in her later life. When everyone got together, she did not refuse to be with others. group photo.
However, Zhang Yufeng in her later years did not want to promote herself, even if her identity was indeed special, she had no idea of being promoted. As a result, she has never been interviewed, except for a handful of reporters from Xinhua News Agency.

However, speaking of Zhang Yufeng's later life, she also has a special hobby , that is, learning calligraphy, learning to write. Speaking of which, her special hobby is still influenced by Chairman Mao.
Because I accompany the chairman all the year round, I have seen more of the chairman's dashing look when writing, and naturally I admire him, so I have more time and interest to practice on my own after retirement. To this end, Zhang Yufeng also specially worshipped an calligraphy teacher , and went to calligraphy classes several times a week to practice calligraphy.
