Is Zhang Xueliang a good person or a bad person?

There are no absolute good people and bad people in this world. Generally speaking, Zhang Xueliang's positive comments are relatively large, mainly because he launched the Xi incident and laid the foundation for the anti-Japanese national United front. Zhou Enlai called him an eternal hero.

However, Zhang Xueliang carried out Chiang Kai-shek's non-resistance order in the September 18th Incident, which caused the Northeast to fall for more than ten years. In this respect, he can also be called a national sinner.
