Why didn't Zhang Xueliang die in the Xi Incident?

Deciphering the Dust-Chiang Kai-shek didn't kill Zhang Xueliang because of Song Meiling's protection.

When Zhang Xueliang first saw Song Meiling, he was amazed at nature and fascinated. He once wanted to pursue it.

-Only in front of Zhang Xueliang, who is frank and generous, will Song Meiling show her sincere and delicate female feelings.

-Song Meiling warned Chiang Kai-shek: If you have any dissatisfaction with that little guy (that is, Zhang Xueliang), I will announce everything about you.

"Han Qing is lucky to know you."

1925 June 14, a sudden rainstorm occurred on the Huangpu River.

On this day, Zhang Xueliang, Lieutenant General of the Northeast Army and Commander-in-Chief of the East Route Army, led three reinforced brigades and arrived in Shanghai along Jinpu Road via Nanjing for the first time. He was appointed to mediate the conflict between China and foreign countries caused by the May 30th tragedy.

That night, a cocktail party was being held in the three-story building of the American Consulate in Shanghai to welcome Zhang Xueliang. Among all the feasts, Zhang Xueliang suddenly found a beautiful young woman in a tight pink cheongsam. Although most of the women who came to the meeting were beautiful and charming, the elegant temperament of this woman still made Zhang Xueliang shine at the moment.

"Who is she? I seem to have seen it somewhere. " After repeated thinking, Zhang Xueliang suddenly remembered. On the morning of the same day, the Northeast Army led by him just appeared at Shanghai North Railway Station, and was stunned by the grand welcome of people from all walks of life in Shanghai. In the welcoming crowd, there was a young woman with black hair and a red cheongsam, clapping desperately at him. There is a heartfelt appreciation for Zhang Xueliang in her warm eyes, and her heart moves slightly.

"Yes, that's her." Zhang Xueliang didn't expect that this elegant girl who appeared at parties from all walks of life during the day came to the banquet hall of the heavily guarded American consulate. He knows that the cocktail party tonight is very different from the daytime party. The female guests who can come here to attend the reception are not the wives of senior officials and generals in Shanghai, nor the wives and ladies of foreign envoys. Who is that elegant girl?

"General Han Qing, you really don't know Miss Song?" Seeing that Zhang Xueliang couldn't stand it, Hu, who was sitting next to him, volunteered, "She is a famous Miss Song Jiasan in Shanghai. She is not only beautiful, but also has a bachelor's degree in literature in the United States. "

"Oh, Miss Song?" Zhang Xueliang asked, "Whose wife is she?"

Hu smiled and said, "Nobody's wife. She's still in the ladies' room. By the way, I forgot. You must know her sister, Mrs. Sun Qingling, right? She is Mr. Zhongshan's wife and sister! "

"Really!" Zhang Xueliang sighed.

Zhang Xueliang respected Sun Yat-sen. Before Sun Yat-sen went north to Beijing via Tianjin, he had several contacts with Sun Yat-sen in Tianjin and met his wife. He didn't expect to meet Soong Ching Ling's sister in Shanghai now. Zhang Xueliang got up quickly, holding a goblet full of red wine, accompanied by Hu, and came to the next table. "It's the wife and sister of Dr. Sun Yat-sen," he said brightly. When Dr. Sun Yat-sen was in Tianjin, I often went to pay my respects. My wife Yu Fengzhi and Mrs Sun are old friends. I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Sun's sister here today. Han Qing is really lucky. If Miss Song doesn't mind, please have three drinks with me, Zhang Hanqing? "

"Thank you for your kindness." Song Meiling stood up gracefully.

At that time, Zhang Xueliang was a famous figure in Northeast China. On May 30th, the day after the May 30th massacre in Shanghai, Zhang Xueliang published a warm telegram to patriotic students in Shanghai.

"It is reported that Shanghai students were shot and killed by British police for helping unemployed workers. After reading it, I won and mourned. It hurt my students and was destroyed. The vast China, where is heaven? This is a phenomenon of weak countries. Everyone in our country should know how to work hard. Out of love for mankind, I am willing to donate 2000 yuan as a low salary. Remittance was made by the Bank of China on the same day to comfort the dead and wounded. The candles are cold, and it's hard to help. Just talk wholeheartedly. " Reading this news, Song Meiling came from Zhang Xueliang's heart.

At this moment, Zhang Xueliang took the initiative to propose a toast, regardless of respect. Song Meiling's heart is hot, and her white and beautiful face is slightly red. However, after all, she was born in a famous family, and then she responded gracefully: "However, it is really not worth drinking a glass of luxury wine with rumbled. I can't even drink three cups. If you allow me, Meiling will simply accompany you to drink this glass of wine as a tribute. How about it? "

Zhang Xueliang found that Song Meiling standing in front of him was not only graceful, but also graceful, showing the charming charm of intelligent women everywhere. Recalling the meeting with Soong Ching Ling in Tianjin, Zhang Xueliang said: "When I was in Tianjin, I heard from Mrs. Sun that Miss Meiling also studied in samit, New Jersey, USA in her early years, and later went to the University of Wisconsin in Georgia with Mrs. Sun. I heard that Miss Meiling studied very well when she was studying in the United States, and she was also a particularly excellent young college student, but really? "

"Thank you for your compliment." Under the gaze of Zhang Xueliang and Chinese and foreign officials, Song Meiling did not feel complacent. Instead, I had a drink with Zhang Xueliang slowly, and then smiled: "It's just that I didn't study in Georgia for a long time, and then I transferred to Wellesley Women's College in Massachusetts. At that time, I gave up studying science because I liked English literature very much. "

Seeing that Zhang Xueliang had a good impression on him, Hu continued to introduce: "Han Qing, it is said that Miss Song's knowledge has been favored by many schools in the United States, and she has won five honorary degrees in a row!"

Zhang Xueliang toasted Song Meiling again and said sincerely, "Miss Song, it's an honor to meet you. It seems that I have been ordered to go to Shanghai. I'm glad you came this time! "

Song Meiling had no intention of drinking in public, but seeing that Zhang Xueliang was so devoted to her, he accompanied him to drink a glass or two of wine, which made her charming face more like a peach blossom.

After more than half a century, when Zhang Xueliang made an oral history at Columbia University in the United States, he repeatedly talked about his acquaintance when he first arrived in Shanghai and Song Meiling: "When I first entered Shanghai, I met Song Meiling, and she was still alone with her sister-in-law. I was shocked and once wanted to pursue her ... At that time, she was not married, and I was immediately fascinated by her temperament. It's really beautiful. I dated her a few times. If I didn't have a wife (referring to Yu Fengzhi), I might even pursue her fiercely ... About this time, I realized that Mr. Jiang was also pursuing her, and it was fierce.

"Madam is my patron saint."

"Madam is my patron saint." After the Xi Incident, Zhang Xueliang, who was originally sworn brothers with Chiang Kai-shek, suddenly became a sinner that Chiang Kai-shek could never forgive. Zhang Xueliang always believed that Chiang Kai-shek did not kill him after the Xi Incident because of Song Meiling's "protection".

Zhang Xueliang once said, "I didn't die after the Xi Incident. The point is that Mrs. Jiang helped me. I think Mrs. Jiang is my bosom friend. Mrs Jiang knows me very well. She said that in the Xi incident, he (Zhang Xueliang) didn't want money or land. What he wants is sacrifice. Mr. Jiang was going to shoot me. I didn't know this at first, but later I saw a document written by American ambassador to China Johnson. He wrote: Song said to Mr. Jiang:' If you have any dissatisfaction with that little person (that is, Zhang Xueliang), I will leave Taiwan Province Province at once and make everything about you public.' "

In the eyes of Zhang Xueliang, Song Meiling is an outstanding woman who is "extremely clever" and "there is no second one in modern China". They have a lot in common. Zhang Xueliang clearly stated in the later "Introspection Record of Xi 'an Incident": "If Mrs. Zhang was in Xi 'an before the incident, the Xi mutiny would not necessarily happen. "Why is this? Academic circles believe that Song Meiling and Zhang Xueliang have much more in common than Chiang Kai-shek, because they are similar in origin, age, English knowledge and western education.

Song Meiling thought that Chiang Kai-shek could be regarded as a hero, but he was narrow-minded and suspicious. Compared with Zhang Xueliang's boldness and frankness, Zhang Xueliang should belong to a higher level hero.

Therefore, it was later speculated that Zhang Xueliang's high praise for Song Meiling's propaganda and Song Meiling's unusual care and love for Zhang Xueliang had a spiritual love besides congenial temperament.

"If Song Meiling lives for one day, I can live for one day."

After Zhang Xueliang's death, there were about 500 letters in four boxes, including his correspondence with Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Lifu, Jiang Jingguo, Chen Cheng, Yang Hucheng, Dai Li and Duan Na. It is worth noting that among more than 500 letters, Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling have the most private letters, with a total of more than 100. Looking up and reading these letters, we can clearly see the sincere feelings between the two.

In the letter, Zhang Xueliang has always been called "",while Zhang Xueliang has always been called "madam" and called himself "Liang". Most of Zhang's correspondence with Song and his letters were written in English.

It can be seen from the correspondence between them that Song Meiling took great care of Zhang Xueliang under house arrest, especially in life, and often sent articles for daily use and gifts to Zhang Xueliang. On one occasion, Song Meiling remembered that Zhang Xueliang's eyes were not good, so he gave him a desk lamp brought back from the United States.

Song Meiling, who is used to communicating in English, can write letters carefully and thoughtfully in Chinese whenever Zhang Xueliang is unwell, but she is not good at writing in Chinese, and she only bothers to write Chinese for Zhang Xueliang who is ill, instead of reading English. This thoughtfulness is also reflected in the fact that when you get a fresh chocolate from a friend, you will definitely give it to Zhang.

Zhang Jincheng, an unusual Platonic scholar, originally believed in Buddhism. After a long period of confinement, he was persuaded by Song Meiling and finally became a devout Christian. He hopes to help Zhang stay away from politics by believing in Christ, thus eliminating his resentment.

After Zhang was released, he had a feeling: "If I can live for one day, I can live for one day." This sentence best describes the relationship between Song Meiling and Zhang Xueliang. As a political woman with a strong desire for power, Song Meiling, who is good at showmanship, shows her sincere and delicate female feelings only when she is in contact with Zhang Xueliang, an honest and generous tough guy in Northeast China. This extraordinary Platonic emotion appears between two famous people in China who have special status and destiny. It seems incredible, but it is sincere and logical.

On 200 1 10, Zhang Xueliang died in Honolulu, Lu Lu. When the news reached the United States, Song Meiling, who has been in contact with Zheng Dashi for more than 70 years, was deeply saddened. Due to the inconvenience of movement, she immediately informed Gu and his wife Yan to go to Hawaii to attend Zhang Xueliang's memorial service and public sacrifice on her behalf. At the memorial service, Ms. Gu put a bunch of flowers with crosses in front of the "Jong Shuai" memorial. (Excerpted from CCTV Documentary)
