In the chaotic and chaotic times, there will be many trendsetters who lead the historical trend. Aren’t the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Three Kingdoms Period a time when heroes emerged together? Regardless of their stance or motivation, they have all been lost in the long river of history.
In addition to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and the Three Kingdoms period, there is another period in our country where heroes gather together. Can anyone guess when this stage is? Yes, that was the Republic of China period. During the Republic of China, the political situation was turbulent, and countless martyrs wanted to save the country and the people.
The warlord of the Feng clan Toutou Zhang Zuolin was a big warlord at the time, and his son Zhang Xueliang contributed his own strength to the Anti-Japanese War. Because he led the famous July 7th Incident at the time, he was put under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek and was not released until more than 50 years later.
He once publicly stated that he admires three people the most in his life. So which three people can make the all-powerful Zhang Xueliang admire them for nearly a century?
I started to know Zhang Xueliang from the July 7th Incident
I believe that everyone’s first understanding of Zhang Xueliang is in the chapter about the July 7th Incident in history textbooks. Yes, During the July 7th Incident, Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng cooperated with each other to detain Chiang Kai-shek who went to the front line to supervise the battle.
It was precisely because of the detention of Zhang Xueliang that Chiang Kai-shek made up his mind to start the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Since then, the situation of China's Anti-Japanese War has undergone a huge turn, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party jointly fought against the Japanese invaders. Since then, Zhang Xueliang has been under house arrest.
He was under house arrest from 1936 to 1990. It can be said that Zhang Xueliang spent most of his life in prison. Just imagine, 54 years of house arrest and 54 years of losing freedom of life. Others may not be able to last as long as he did.
After Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest, the world political situation underwent earth-shaking changes. A new China with democracy and freedom was born, and the people lived a good life. The Kuomintang chose to retreat to Taiwan and has been alone overseas to this day.
html More than 550 years of house arrest have made him lose his youth.Zhang Xueliang did not gain personal freedom because of the defeat of the Kuomintang. Instead, was brought to Taiwan by the Kuomintang and continued to be under house arrest. Later, Chiang Kai-shek died of illness, and Zhang Xueliang still suffered from the shackles. This imprisonment lasted for more than 50 years, which is almost the spring and autumn of a generation.
In 1990, the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait changed again, and Mr. Zhang Xueliang gained the long-awaited freedom. At this time, he was already 90 years old, hobbled and had difficulty moving. He was no longer the handsome and shining young man.
As one of the most influential figures in the Chinese nation in the 20th century, Zhang Xueliang has mentioned many past events and publicly declared that there are three people he admires most in his life. Let’s take a look at these three people.
His father Zhang Zuolin has made him admire him all his life
Among the people Zhang Xueliang admires most in his life, there must be his father Zhang Zuolin. I believe everyone can guess this. Northeast King Zhang Zuolin can be said to have started from scratch. With his unique vision and methods, he has become the Northeast King.
After Zhang Xueliang was born, Zhang Zuolin already held great power and established a firm foothold in the turbulent situation at that time. Since he was a child, Zhang Xueliang was educated with a stick by his father. At that time, the popular educational idea in society was that strict teachers produce good disciples, and talents cannot be achieved without fighting.
It can be said that under the influence of his father, Zhang Xueliang himself benefited a lot. The aristocratic life since childhood also gave Zhang Xueliang himself a full sense of arrogance. is the famous king of the Northeast. In the early years of the Republic of China, if he stomped his feet in the Northeast, China would tremble.
Premier Zhou's personality charm infected Zhang Xueliang
This was the first person Zhang Xueliang admired, and the second person no one could have imagined, that is Comrade Zhou Enlai, the first Prime Minister of New China.How did Comrade Zhou Enlai get involved with Zhang Xueliang?
When Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng launched the Xi'an Incident, which shocked the whole country, Comrade Zhou Enlai received the news immediately. After learning about this situation, Zhou Enlai chose to deal with it from an objective standpoint and from the standpoint of national justice.
His attitude of urging Chiang Kai-shek to work together to resist Japan and save the nation with virtue for grievances not only allowed the Xi'an Incident to be resolved peacefully, but also infected Zhang Xueliang. As a political enemy, Zhou Enlai's treatment was beyond Zhang Xueliang's expectations, and also beyond the expectations of all Chinese people.
You must know that Chiang Kai-shek spent a lot of money to kill members of our party.
Later, Zhang Xueliang was put under house arrest by the Kuomintang because of the Xi'an Incident, and Zhou Enlai also actively worked for this matter. In order to rescue Zhang Xueliang and restore his freedom of life, Zhou Enlai took great pains to , and Zhang Xueliang, who was in jail, knew this very well.
How could Zhang Xueliang not be moved by such courage and choice, and such character? As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkey will scatter. After learning that Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest, who would think of him like this?
Chairman Mao Zedong also admired Zhang Xueliang
The third person Zhang Xueliang admired was Chairman Mao , which many people never expected. Chairman Mao Zedong and Zhang Xueliang did not belong to the same political party and had different beliefs. There was not much overlap between the two, so why did Chairman Mao make him admire them?
It turns out that although Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest and lost his freedom in life, it did not mean that he lost all contact with the outside world. During his more than 50 years of imprisonment, Zhang Xueliang was exposed to a large number of Chairman Mao's works and gained a deeper understanding of them.
In Zhang Xueliang's view, from a young student to a staunch Marxist, and finally leading the Chinese people to achieve national independence, this is an unparalleled ability. With such talent and ability, how could you not be impressed by yourself?
Zhang Xueliang believes that Chairman Mao Zedong is different from Chiang Kai-shek. The revolutionary Mao Zedong was in a much more difficult situation than Chiang Kai-shek. However, he could always lead China's workers' and peasants' revolutionary army, repeatedly achieve extraordinary feats, and establish immortal achievements...
Zhang Xueliang himself also left a lot of writings, and in his writings, you can often see unique views on the political situation. To be able to admire someone with such an extraordinary birth, one can imagine the charm of him.
In 2001, Mr. Zhang Xueliang passed away suddenly. In the darkest moment of the last century, Mr. Zhang Xueliang made his own choice. Later generations have endless evaluations of Zhang Xueliang, and even to this day, but the evaluation of merits and demerits will be left to history.
Conclusion
Except for Zhang Xueliang’s father, many people have not thought about the other two people Zhang Xueliang admires. I wonder what everyone thinks of these three people? I hope you will comment and forward it, and I look forward to your replies!
