In 1927, Zhang Zuolin gathered his sons in the Marshal's Mansion and hired a photographer to take a precious group photo for them. **The characters in the characters from right to left are: Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueming, Zhang Xuezeng, Zhang Xuesi, Zhang Xuesen, Zhang Xuejun, Zhang Xueying, Zhang Xuequan. They are dressed in uniform clothes, smiling at the camera, with thick eyebrows and high noses.
Zhang Zuolin had a total of six wives in his life, and these wives gave birth to eight sons for him one after another, and the "young marshal" we are more familiar with is one of them. However, we know very little about Zhang Zuolin's other sons.
Zhang Xueming, the second son of the Zhang family, is seven years younger than his eldest brother Zhang Xueliang and has the same father and mother as him. In his early years, he graduated from the Japanese Infantry College, and later in politics, although he did not achieve great achievements, he was recognized as one of the gourmets. In 1983, Zhang Xueming died in Beijing at the age of 75.
The third son, Zhang Xuezeng, was stubborn when he was a child, but escaped in a family tragedy. He later studied abroad, worked abroad, and had two sons and a daughter. He died around the seventies.
The fourth son, Zhang Xuesi, performed well among his brothers, and later joined the Eighth Route Army, serving as chief of staff and commander of the military division. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of Major General.
The fifth son, Zhang Xuesen, had a close relationship with his eldest brother Zhang Xueliang, but he had no strong interest in the military. He went to the United States to study aviation technology, returned to Beijing in his later years, and died in 1995.
The sixth son, Zhang Xuejun, was born to "Mrs. Shou", graduated from Fu Jen University, and worked as a military translator and basketball coach. In his later years, he moved to Taiwan and lived a quiet life, dying in 1984 at the age of 62.
The seventh and eighth sons Zhang Xueying and Zhang Xuequan have less biographical information, and they have spent a rather dull life.
