On March 26, 2007, Shenyang Grand Marshal's Mansion welcomed a Taiwanese businessman who proposed to visit it.
Since the founding of New China, Dashuai Mansion belongs to the state, and all tourists have to buy tickets when visiting, but the visitor reveals his identity to the ticket seller and says, "I won't buy tickets." Why is this?
Self-reporting home
Taiwanese businessman claims to be Zhang Lushi, the son of Zhang Xuejun, the sixth brother of Zhang Xuejun, and Zhang Zuolin, the beloved Lady of Shou is his grandmother.
Since Zhang Xueliang was brought to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek , he was the first descendant of the Zhang family to return to the mainland to trace the roots.
Madam Shou told him more than once during her lifetime that every bit of life in Northeast China. The nostalgia and regret made Zhang Lushi deeply touched her.
Although he has never lived in the Northeast, through his grandmother's description, Zhang Lushi is full of curiosity about the Northeast, and his longing for his hometown always touches his heart.
This is his first time to set foot on the land of the mainland. He wanted to worship his grandfather but didn't know where to go. He had no clues and was not familiar with the place, so he could only come to the Marshal's Mansion to find clues first.
When I heard him, the ticket seller had no choice but to ask the director Zhang Li to explain the whole story.
Zhang Li initially had a skeptical attitude towards Zhang Lushi's words. Since Zhang Xueliang passed away, there have been countless liars pretending to be descendants of the Zhang family.
What impressed him the most was that in 1993, a man who claimed to be Zhang Zhongcheng came to the Marshal's Mansion and said that he was Zhang Xueliang's ninth brother.
However, historical data proved that Zhang Zuolin did not have the ninth child at all, and Zhang Zhongcheng was just a complete liar.
The angry and embarrassed Zhang Zhongcheng actually sued the old director Yang Jinghua in court with a complaint, saying that he deliberately ruined his reputation and demanded compensation.
Fortunately, the old director had solid evidence in his hands, leaving the liar speechless, otherwise everyone would be deceived by his lies.
Zhang Zhongcheng's affairs have not yet subsided, and news has come out that Zhang Xuejun is still alive.
After Zhang Lushi's mother, who was far away in Taiwan, found out, she angrily scolded these fraudsters who pretended to be Zhang's family.
At the same time, she was also helpless. The Zhang family inherited Zhang Lushi's generation. The only boys in the Zhang family who were recognized by the elders in the family were Zhang Lushi and his brother. Both of them were still in Taiwan and could not come forward to clarify.
The Zhang family in mainland China is slowly disappearing. Every time Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang celebrate the festival and Qingming Festival, there is not even a person who can sweep the tomb and burn incense.
Although she did not explicitly express her hope that the two children would return to the Northeast, in order not to leave her regrets, the two brothers decided to take on the burden of returning to the mainland.
Considering that my brother is over 50 years old and his children are still young, it is not convenient to take the family back to live in mainland China, Zhang Lushi decided to shoulder this important task.
In order to show the enthusiasm of mainlanders, Zhang Li friendly reception of Zhang Lushi, took him to visit the Zhang family mansion and held a banquet to entertain him.
However, Zhang Li could not judge whether what he said was true or false. He could only call Zhao Jie, who knew the history of the Zhang family best, to ask about Zhang Xueliang’s sixth brother Zhang Xuejun.
Zhao Jie is a famous historical scholar.
He told Zhang Li: "Zhang Xuejun is Shouyi's biological son, and there is not much information available, especially after arriving in Taiwan, there is little news about him, and there has never been a junior of the Zhang family returning to the mainland."
Just after dealing with Zhang Zhongcheng's case, Zhang Lushi, a grandson of Zhang Xueliang, has appeared. How can they not be vigilant?
If the Zhang family really came to the mainland, they should indeed be warmly treated, but if the person who came was a liar under the guise of the Zhang family, wouldn’t it be a joke if it spread?
Verification of identity
can prove Zhang Lushi's identity, so he can only ask him about Zhang Zuolin. After all, Shouyi is the woman who knows Zhang Zuolin the best.
On June 4, 1928, the Huanggutun explosion planned by the Japanese attracted worldwide attention.
Zhang Zuolin asked the Japanese for weapons, while fighting against them openly and secretly. The inconsistent behavior naturally aroused the hatred of the Japanese.
In this explosion, Zhang Zuolin was seriously injured and was urgently sent back to the Marshal's Mansion by his subordinates.
On the way back to the Marshal's Mansion, whether he left his last words has become the most concerned thing for everyone.
Many people say that Zhang Zuolin told the people around him before his death: "Let Zhang Xueliang come back as soon as possible, take national affairs as his mission, and protect the people of Fengtian ."
Even Zhang Zuolin's personal bodyguard said that after Zhang Zuolin was injured by the bomb, he kept paying attention to who was behind him, so that they must find out.
When he found out that it was the Japanese who did it, he angrily told his subordinates not to show mercy and must let the Japanese know how powerful they are.
The one who has the most say in the Huanggutun incident should be Mrs. Shou. Not only is she the most favored by Zhang Zuolin, she has also been in charge of all matters in Shuaifu . After the incident, she has been taking care of Zhang Zuolin, and thanks to her, the Japanese conspiracy failed, delaying the fall of the Northeast for three years.
Therefore, as Mrs. Shou’s grandson, Zhang Lushi should know many unknown details.
When asked whether Zhang Zuolin left his last words, Zhang Lushi sighed: "When the explosion, the fragments popped up from the bomb cut my grandfather's throat.
And the car drove straight to the place where my grandmother lived. Grandpa was too seriously injured and had no time to say anything."
After Zhang Zuolin passed away, in order to block the news, she ordered no one to enter her room, and the people in the Marshal's Mansion seemed to have nothing to happen.
Madam Shou claimed to the public that Zhang Zuolin was only affected by the aftermath of the bomb and would recover after recuperation for a while.
In order to make the Japanese believe and to buy time for Zhang Xueliang to return to the Northeast, she ordered everyone in the Marshal's Mansion to put away their sadness and face everyone with a smile every day, and let doctors enter and exit the house every day, creating an illusion that Zhang Zuolin is recovering.
She also wears heavy makeup every day, and from time to time she reminds the chef to make some meals that helps to recover her body, and also acts in front of the Japanese, so that they can't figure out the situation.
Madam Shou's superb acting skills made the Japanese believe it, and they could only hold on and missed the best opportunity to win the Northeast.
They announced the news of Zhang Zuolin's death until Zhang Xueliang secretly rushed back to the Marshal's Mansion.
When Zhang Lushi told these little-known inside stories, Zhao Jie had basically confirmed that he was a descendant of the Zhang family, but he didn't know what Zhang Lushi's purpose was to come to the Marshal's Mansion this time.
Zhang Lu answered truthfully: "I just want to visit the grave."
The cemetery he cares about the most was Zhang Xueliang, but he didn't know where the cemetery was.
Originally, Zhang Lushi made an appointment with his friend and he would be the guide to visit Zhang Xueliang's grave, but his friend had to delay something and he had no choice but to go to the Marshal's Mansion.
The Zhang family, who live far away from Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, are not aware of it. As early as the second year of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launching the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang's hometown was divided into Panshan County .
After so many years, Panshan County has changed its name several times, and even the name of the administrative region has been changed several times.
The only thing that has not changed is Zhang Xueliang’s ancestral tomb in Yejia Village.
April 2, accompanied by Zhang Li and Zhao Jie, Zhang Lushi came to Panshan County and found Zhang's Cemetery .
After understanding the situation, the relevant personnel of Zhang Lushi gave a detailed explanation.
When he heard them telling the history of the changes in the graves of his elders, Zhang Lushi shed two lines of tears.
He presented a wreath to his ancestors and circled around the ancestral tomb, not knowing what he was muttering to himself.
On the way back, Zhang Lushi had always had a doubt. He asked Zhao Jie why Zhang Zuolin’s father’s grave was not together with the tomb of the Zhang family?
Zhao Jie explained: "Everyone who comes here to visit has this question like you. You will know it when you go to the cemetery.
After Zhang Zuolin's father Zhang Youcai passed away, his family could not afford the best nanmu to be buried. He could only afford the simplest wooden cabinet to bury the ashes.
One summer, heavy rain fell, and several nearby rivers overflowed from the water one after another. The flood swallowed the grave, and the coffin also flowed to the big hole with the water. During this process, the coffin was buried here.
After Zhang Zuolin became rich, he felt that this was a Feng Shui treasure land, so he did not move to another place. "
oral information
Zhang Lushi's arrival also provided convenience for Zhang Li and his friends to understand Zhang Xueliang and other families.
Through his story, Zhang Li and others learned more about the Zhang family's family in Taiwan.
Zhang Xuejun took Zhang Lushi's mother to Taiwan in 1946. At that time, Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest in Taiwan.
Because Zhang Lushi's mother was used to living in Northeast China, she was not adapted to Taiwan and was not adapted to the local environment.
Zhang Xuejun could only move to Hong Kong with her family, and later moved to Macau to live due to the turbulence of the situation in Hong Kong.
lived in Macau for 16 or 7 years, during which time , In order to support the family, Zhang Xuejun tried all kinds of work, including teachers, coaches, etc.
In 1967, some people from mainland China came to Macau told Zhang Xuejun that he was blacklisted and he wanted to evacuate Macau as soon as possible.
Zhang Xuejun believed it, and in order not to be arrested, he took his family to evacuate Macau overnight. Because he was too hastily, he didn't have time to get anything.
was originally planning to evacuate to Taiwan, but encountered typhoon on the road, which delayed for a few days, and finally entered Taiwan at Keelung Port Wharf.
When Zhang Lushi asked his mother why he had to retreat from Macau overnight, his mother told him: "Some people said that your father participated in the Military Control Commission event in Taiwan. "
In fact, this statement is nonsense. His father Zhang Xuejun could not participate in the military activities, because Mrs. Shou once ordered that all Zhang family members were not allowed to enter politics.
Zhang Xueliang's life was given a strong legend and a high degree of drama, especially the "Xi'an Incident", which reversed Chinese history.
When he was a child, Zhang Lu really didn't understand why Zhang Xueliang, as the commander of the first army, did such a thing. When his father grew up, he told him: "Your uncle is to protect the Zhang family! "
According to Chiang Kai-shek's vengeful personality, Zhang Xueliang would definitely not forgive him if he dared to kidnap him. In order to revenge, he asked Dai Li to find out all the information of the Zhang family.
It was precisely because of this weakness that Zhang Xueliang agreed to Soong Mei-ling to safely send Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing without any damage.
After Zhang Zuolin's death, the power of the Zhang family was greatly weakened, and Zhang Xueliang was detained, and his peers were The eight brothers all embarked on different life paths.
Even though Zhang Xueliang was temporarily exchanged for family safety, the Zhang family who were brought to Taiwan still had a very difficult life.
Zhang Xueliang's actions are heroes in the eyes of mainlanders, but traitors in the eyes of Taiwanese people.
Therefore, the children at home have been raised from an early age to become low-key, cautious, and taciturn.
Zhang Lushi summarized the personality of the Zhang family man: "If you have something to say, no matter when, you should give priority to intuition and judgment. "
It is precisely because of their frank and blunt personality and the harm caused to them by their political career that Mrs. Shou finally established a family motto: all boys in the Zhang family are not allowed to participate in political activities, they can only be ordinary people.
The descendants of the Zhang family are shining in different industries, everyone lives a low-key life and never mention their identities to the outside world.
As the sixth house of the Zhang family, Zhang Lushi and their current achievements are all based on their hands and have never used the name of Zhang Xueliang.
Although they are in Taiwan, Zhang Lushi and Zhang Xueliang have little contact, only during festivals or during Zhang Xueliang. Liang will contact them only when he takes the initiative to see them.
Zhang Lushi remembers that every time he goes to see his uncle, he has to go through a harsh search. Except for his relatives, his uncle cannot meet outsiders.
Living in the shadow of history
For him, the Zhang family brought him not infinite glory, but harm.
In the eyes of Taiwanese people, it was Zhang Xueliang's actions that caused them to lose the opportunity to control China.
They even think that Zhang Xueliang is a traitor to the Kuomintang. It is precisely because of this hatred that the Zhang family's life in Taiwan is difficult.
In Taiwan TV series, Zhang Zuolin is a complete bad guy. He often snatches other people's things everywhere and snatches beautiful girls home.
Zhang Lushi was young at that time. He asked Mrs. Shou: "Grandma, is what is said on TV true?"
Mrs. Shou asked him: "Then count, how many grandmas are there on TV, won't it be clear? TV is all fake. Your grandfather is not a bandit, and he will not steal other people's things.
Your grandfather has a heavy burden. In order to protect the people, he and the Japanese have slandered him. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have a peaceful life at all.
Moreover, girls in Northeast China are very strong. They will also pick up guns to protect their homes, and they will not lose to men when riding horses and shooting guns."
Then people praised and criticized Zhang Zuolin, but it is undeniable that he did a lot of good things, but in the eyes of Taiwanese people, he is a big bandit.
Zhang Lushi clearly remembered that when the history teacher told the Zhang family's past, he asked him to avoid it.
At that time, he didn't know what the teacher was saying, but he only knew that when he returned to the classroom, everyone looked at him with hatred and angry eyes.
In Taiwan, they live a hard life. The Taiwanese authorities have asked their father to come forward to do things for the Kuomintang many times, but they were rejected by Zhang Xuejun.
For Zhang Lushi, being an ordinary person is a very happy thing, because you don’t have to be cautious at all times and don’t have to worry about other people’s opinions.
But he could never return to normal people's lives, and the pressure from his family always lingers on them, especially in the military service.
Just as he joined the army on the first day, he was called to the office by the counselor and told him that in the army, he should be extra careful in his words and deeds.
Every Thursday, the army will hold political education. At this time, Zhang Lushi will be asked to give a speech on stage to talk about his thoughts, cognition and awareness.
That experience was his nightmare in this life.
Zhang Lushi is often called out to work out for exercise in the middle of the night, and runs around the track endlessly, and sometimes he is beaten for no reason.
Whenever he mentions this experience, he will be in lingering fear and lose half of his life in the army.
In addition to being bullied in the army, Zhang Lushi's marriage also experienced twists and turns.
Originally, he and a girl from the airline were doing well, and they were both talking about marriage, but when the woman's parents heard about Zhang Lushi's identity, they firmly disagreed with their marriage.
The girl's mother is a member of the Kuomintang. She talks bad things about the Zhang family every day, brainwashs the girl, and asks her to cut off contact with Zhang Lushi as soon as possible.
The girl was forced to break up with him.
This situation was not relieved until Jiang Jingguo died of , and life was slowly getting on track.
Zhang Xueliang's claustrophobic years
In the family past that Zhang Lushi told, the most impossible thing to ignore is Zhang Xueliang's affairs.
He remembered it very clearly that in 1967, he followed his parents to a beautiful villa, and he didn't know where it was.
As soon as the car stopped, many people came over to ask, checked their ID, and confirmed their identity before letting them enter the big house. The decorations in the house were very special and unique.
A fat old man walked towards him, wearing glasses, and a woman stood next to him, which is Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si .
Ms. Zhao Si is good at making Western-style meals, such as British roast beef, salad, mushroom soup , etc.
Every time Zhang Lushi comes here, he can taste fresh, soft and glutinous French bread and ice cream after meals.
Zhang Lushi and the others like to eat ice cream. Sometimes they are picky about food and don’t eat well, so Zhang Xueliang will use ice cream to tempt them.
At that time, Zhang Lushi was not sure why Zhang Xueliang could only live in this house and could not walk around at his house.
Sometimes I want to eat Northeastern cuisine made by my mother, so Zhang Xueliang had to call his mother, hoping that she could prepare it and deliver it.
Zhang Xueliang likes to play with children. When playing with Zhang Lushi and the others, he will even squat down and carry them on his shoulders.
As he grows older, Zhang Lushi understands and respects Zhang Xueliang more and more. But there is one thing that has always been unable to understand and let go.
No matter which relative dies, Zhang Xueliang will never attend!
He can obviously attend other people's funerals, but why is he indifferent to his relatives' death?
He couldn't figure it out and asked Zhang Xueliang, but Zhang Xueliang didn't explain. Maybe he had his own considerations.
’s view on the mainland
Perhaps it has suffered too much pain and too much rolling eyes and ridicule in Taiwan. Therefore, after seeing the courtesy and respect from mainlanders to him, Zhang Lushi felt warmth and happiness.
He didn't mind the staff's straightforward questioning method, nor did he mind telling more about his family.
In fact, before returning, Zhang Lushi was nervous. Because of his father and mother, he was worried that he would be discriminated against more than the people of Taiwan.
But I didn’t expect that the director Zhang Li and Zhao Jie would treat him so well, and also provided him with help within their ability, making the road to finding relatives much more convenient.
Although he has lived in Taiwan for so many years, he always feels like wandering outside. Only when he returns to the mainland can he feel a sense of peace of mind that he returns to his roots.
He has figured out his way home, and next he will go to Taiwan to bring all his relatives back to mainland China to live.
Historical gathering
The news that Zhang Lushi returned to the mainland spread like wildfire. Many media interviewed and reported him. For a time, whether Zhang Lushi's life experience and speech were reliable became the most concerned issue for everyone.
It’s no wonder. After all, the Zhang family has not returned to the mainland for so many years, and they only live in Taiwan. And they are so low-key that there is no news. Suddenly, descendants appear, so they will naturally be suspected.
In order to completely dispel people's doubts, Zhang Li and Zhao Jie contacted Zhang Xueliang's eighth brother Zhang Xuequan 's wife Ma Yunlan.
Zhang Xuequan is also the child born by Mrs. Shou. Although she did not follow them to live in Taiwan, her blood is thicker than water, and this ties cannot be given up.
Zhao Jie also contacted Wu Liangji, hoping that she could also attend the marriage recognition ceremony.
Wu Liangji is the wife of Zhang Xueliang's second brother Zhang Xueming Zhang Pengju's second son. She is with Ma Yunlan to attend. If Ma Yunlan has any inconvenient things, Wu Liangji can handle it.
On May 15, 2008, Zhao Jie rushed to Jinzhou to welcome Ma Yunlan and his group.
Since the Zhang family’s ancestral tomb is in Panjin , Zhang Lushi also chose his business path here.
At 4 pm, Zhao Jie brought Ma Yunlan and his group to Panjin. The meeting place was chosen at the hotel where they checked in, and the time was 8 pm.
Although there are still twenty minutes left before the agreed time, Zhang Lushi couldn't help but feel excited. He came to the hotel early to meet his relatives.
Meeting relatives in mainland China is also one of his missions on this trip.
When he saw Zhang Lushi, Ma Yunlan blurted out: "You and your father are simply carved from the same mold!"
A sentence confirmed Zhang Lushi's identity.
"Is your mother still strong in health? Ma Yunlan asked.
"Mother misses you very much. She originally wanted to come to the mainland in person, but her body cannot fly long distances, so she can only entrust me to convey her longing for you. "
There was endless things for the two of them to say for a while. Ma Yunlan asked their relatives one by one how they were doing and what jobs they were doing.
From 7:40 pm to 10:00 pm, they talked until after 10:00. If Ma Yunlan hadn't been in poor health, they wouldn't know when the two would end the conversation.
Although I haven't seen each other for decades, the family affection in my bones made them talk about everything. This is probably the greatness of blood relationship.
Zhang Lushi is very grateful to the party and the government for spared no effort to help him realize his dream of finding a relative, and thanks Zhang Li and Zhao Jie for their help, so that he can realize his wishes smoothly.
Some people may not believe the information told by Zhang Lushi, but their identity is true and false. Before there is enough evidence to prove that he is a fake, what's wrong with believing him once?
