11973, Premier Zhou cordially met with Zhang Lingfu's widow Wang Yuling in Beijing. Wang Yuling, who had been wandering outside for 25 years, couldn't help crying on the spot.
Zhang Lingfu is a senior general of the Kuomintang and one of the most valued confidant generals of Chiang Kai-shek . It is precisely because of this serious concern that after Premier Zhou sent an invitation to Wang Yuling to visit his country, Wang Yuling, who is in the United States, was worried about whether he would have received any return to China?
But for 25 years, Wang Yuling missed his hometown all the time. In the end, she gave up her concerns and embarked on the journey of returning to China with the personal arrangements of Premier Zhou and the assistance of relevant departments.
Wang Yuling was not only warmly received by the national leaders, but also approved to visit relatives and friends in China freely. At that time, in addition to her, there was another person who could enjoy this qualification, which was the physicist Professor Yang Zhenning .
The preferential treatment she received when she returned to China made Wang Yuling feel deeply moved. She couldn't help but think of the past of following the Kuomintang to retreat to Taiwan.
1949, under the attack of our army, the Kuomintang was defeated. Chiang Kai-shek began his business early and swept many gold antiques to Taiwan. He took away a group of Kuomintang generals, cultural masters, etc. Wang Yuling was actually on the retreat list drawn up by Chiang Kai-shek.
At that time, Zhang Lingfu had already died in the battle of Menglianggu . Wang Yuling's situation was also relatively difficult, and his son was still at the age of a toddler. Fortunately, my mother lives with her and can still help her.
Originally, seeing the Kuomintang retreating step by step, many high-ranking officials and nobles have already collected the gold, silver, and soft and fled. No matter how bad it is, I try every means to buy a ticket to Hong Kong. Wang Yuling was also very confused. She thought that her husband was the enemy of the people. If the People's Liberation Army came, would she have suffered on behalf of her husband?
Just when Wang Yuling was panicked, she learned that Chiang Kai-shek had named her and wanted to bring her to Taiwan. This made her feel quite moved, thinking that the National Government did not leave their orphans and widows behind.
Wang Yuling was born in a wealthy family in Changsha, Hunan. He lived a life of luxury and food since childhood. Even though the War of Resistance broke out and the years of fleeing everywhere, Wang Yuling still lived a worry-free life under the careful care of her mother.
1945, the War of Resistance Against Japan was victorious. The 47th Kuomintang Army is temporarily stationed in Changsha. When Zhang Lingfu, who was the commander of the 58th Division of the 47th Army at the time, was trained at Chongqing Army University, he heard that Wang Yuling was a rare beauty in Changsha. This made him feel curious. So after the training was over, he immediately arrived in Changsha to get a glimpse of his beauty as soon as possible.
Wang Yuling was only 17 years old at that time, she was young and beautiful, elegant in temperament, and had good conversation. During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Lingfu participated in many famous battles. Because of his bravery and good combat, he not only made great contributions, but also was known as a "famous general of the anti-Japanese war." Of course, a hero should not be a show for people to watch on the stage. Zhang Lingfu didn't care about thinking too much, so he enthusiastically pursued Wang Yuling.
: Wang Yuling was born in a wealthy family in Changsha. It is not wrong to have thousands of hectares of fertile land and many servants at home. However, she lost her family as early as 5 years old. As my father died of illness, most of the family's property was replaced by silver , and most of the servants were disbanded. In addition, there are no males in the family, only Wang Yuling and his mother depend on each other. In such a chaotic era, there are still many inconveniences in life. Therefore, being able to marry a senior Kuomintang official can be considered as having a support. What's more, Zhang Lingfu was the young and strong officer Chiang Kai-shek relied most at the time. He was not only good at fighting, but his knowledge was also comparable to ordinary people.
But Wang Yuling's mother did not agree with her daughter dating Zhang Lingfu.
Zhang Lingfu also used some tricks to get Wang Yuling. He was obviously 42 years old, but he deceived Wang Yuling and said that he was only 32 years old. He had already married and had children, but he insisted that he was busy with war and was still single.
But there is one thing that Zhang Lingfu can't hide.The case of his killing of his wife Wu Hailan was once a hot topic, and he was also imprisoned for this. Wang Yuling's mother was originally unwilling to marry an officer with his head on the gun, not to mention that Zhang Lingfu had the evil deed of killing his wife.
But Wang Yuling, who was young and troubled, had long been trapped in Zhang Lingfu's sweet words, and how could he understand his mother's painstaking efforts. In the end, under her insistence, her mother had no choice but to agree to her marriage with Zhang Lingfu.
The wedding was very lively, and the one who brought Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yuling to marry was Cheng Qian, the chairman of Hunan Province. After the wedding, Zhang Lingfu, who had received the transfer order, took Wang Yuling to Nanjing to take office and settled there.
During that time, although Zhang Lingfu was busy with official duties, he would go home to accompany Wang Yuling as long as he had time, and his life was very harmonious. During this period, Zhang Lingfu also spent a lot of money to terminate his marriage with his third wife Gao Yanyu.
The next year, Wang Yuling became pregnant. It was just because the Kuomintang launched the civil war that Zhang Lingfu had to say goodbye to his wife and go to the front line to fight.
11947, Wang Yuling gave birth to his son Zhang Daoyu .
However, just two months after the son was born, Zhang Lingfu was killed in the Battle of Menglianggu. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Wang Yuling feel in pain. Looking at her son in the cradle, she could only wipe away her tears and manage her family.
1949, the Kuomintang was defeated. Under the arrangement of Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Yuling left his hometown and went to Taiwan with his mother and son. Everything needs to start from scratch. Due to the lack of materials, although I can receive a small amount of subsidy from the National Government every month, I can only barely make a living. What’s bad is that the subsidy was changed to “food rations” not long after, and life became increasingly difficult.
Wang Yuling is invited by the National Government to attend the memorial service every year. The memorial service is mainly to commemorate the officers who died on the battlefield. Among the officers, Zhang Lingfu was the so-called "hero" established by the Kuomintang in order to educate the soldiers in the Kuomintang army as a so-called "loyalty" education.
The role of Wang Yuling is nothing more than that.
Once, Soong Mei-ling was preparing to meet with the widow of the Kuomintang officer. As a result, Wang Yuling and others waited outside the presidential palace for a long time, but they didn't see Soong Mei-ling. A secretary came out to pass on a message saying, "My wife is in poor spirits, please go back first."
This made Wang Yuling very dissatisfied. She felt in her heart that her husband had given up all his lives for you and your wife, but how did you treat his widow! Seeing that it was difficult to live in Taiwan, Wang Yuling was determined to go to the United States to make a try.
In fact, there is another reason to leave the United States. Wang Yuling was young and beautiful at that time, and many men were pursuing her, including Chiang Kai-shek's son Chiang Ching-kuo . Chiang Ching-kuo was of great importance and was very close to Wang Yuling.
Wang Yuling was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, and of course he didn't want to have any connection with Chiang Ching-kuo. In order to avoid Chiang Ching-kuo's pursuit, Wang Yuling found his uncle Sun Liren . With the help of Sun Liren, Wang Yuling went to the United States alone.
1953, after Wang Yuling arrived in the United States, he was admitted to the accounting major of New York University in the United States. At that time, she had only $1,000 in her savings. In order to live, she could only work and study half-time.
After obtaining the graduation certificate, Wang Yuling worked as an accountant in a hospital and a five-star hotel. Later, with his outstanding appearance and outstanding ability, Wang Yuling joined American Airlines and has been in the company for 21 years before retiring.
Although Wang Yuling lived comfortably in the United States, she never gave up her feelings for her motherland. And on many major issues, she stands on the national standpoint.
For example, after Japan occupied Taiwan, it bought two pieces of land in Tokyo, Japan and built two buildings, "Guanghualiao" and " Tsinghualiao ".
After Japan was defeated, the property certificate was delayed. After Wang Yuling learned about it, he immediately asked a lawyer to negotiate with the Japanese government.The Japanese government knew it was in a disadvantage and wanted to hand over the real estate certificate to the Taiwan authorities. It was Wang Yuling who pointed out that Japan and Taiwan have no official contacts, and handing them over to Taiwan violated the law. In the end, the Japanese government had to hand over the property certificate to the Chinese government.
In addition, Wang Yuling also adheres to the one-China principle and actively works for the unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. She once said that when Taiwan elects leaders, she supports those who support cross-strait reunification, and whenever they engage in separatism, she firmly opposes them.
1973, Premier Zhou contacted Wang Yuling and invited her to visit the country. Premier Zhou's invitation made Wang Yuling's heart beat. For 25 years, she has never missed her motherland one day, but her husband is the enemy of the people. Can the people forgive her? In the end, the idea of going home to see her overcome her worries, prompting her to finally embark on a journey to return home.
Wang Yuling didn't expect that she would be received by Premier Zhou. When talking about her husband, Premier Zhou said, "Zhang Lingfu is an excellent general. As his teacher, it was my mistake that I didn't fight for him."
Wang Yuling, who had been strong for many years, could no longer suppress the pain in his heart and could not help crying. At this moment, she thought of her life in Taiwan and the coldness of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife.
When she returned to China, Wang Yuling was mixed with emotion. Later, she returned to China to visit relatives many times, and even visited Zhang Lingfu's ex-wife and children.
In 2005, his son Zhang Daoyu made his business in Shanghai. Wang Yuling, who had long wanted to return to China to settle down, has since settled in Shanghai.
In 2008, 80-year-old Wang Yuling finally made up his mind to go to Mengliangkou.
Accompanied by local leaders, she found the cave where Zhang Lingfu was shot dead. Looking at the place where her husband once fought, Wang Yuling was in a mixed mood. Finally, she put on a bouquet of garland in silence and turned and left.
In October 2021, 94-year-old Wang Yuling passed away suddenly at her home in Shanghai.
