In the long history of the Chinese world, Zhang Yang's story is like a dazzling and short-lived meteor, piercing the night sky and leaving a deep trace. The trajectory of his life, from the birth of an ordinary soldier, to the peak of the high position in the army, and then to the final tragic ending, is a legend full of lessons.
Early life and character building.
Zhang Yang was born in an ordinary family, and the divorce of his parents cast a shadow over his childhood. This broken family experience planted a desire for stability and success in his heart early on. However, this desire did not manifest itself in a positive way during his youth. Instead, he became a rebellious child, poor in school, and often in conflict with people. Zhang Yang's personality has a clear directness, which greatly influenced his early life path.
Military career and transformation.
At the age of 17, Zhang Yang made a decision that changed his fate - to join the army. Despite the family's opposition, his determination was unwavering. The strict discipline and order of barracks life had a profound impact on Zhang Yang. He began to show his potential as a hard-trained, disciplined soldier. This transformation, although it did not give him a chance to be promoted in the short term, laid the foundation for his later leap.
Quickly promoted through marriage.
The anxious Zhang Yang soon found a shortcut to success - to meet a family with a background through marriage. After marrying a wife with a good family background, Zhang Yang's military career ushered in a turning point. He was promoted to political commissar of the 42nd Division of the 163rd Army of the Army, and this leap of promotion gave him a position in the army for a while.
Life's highlights.
Zhang Yang's military career has been a journey of constant pursuit of excellence. In 2001, he was promoted to the rank of major general, five years later to lieutenant general, and in July 2010, he reached the pinnacle of his career - promotion to general.

These achievements have made Zhang Yang highly praised in the army and society, and has become a hero in people's mouths.
The corrosion and depravity of power.
However, as his power grew, Zhang Yang began to lose his way. He frequented high-end entertainment venues, lived a luxurious life, and even began to use his position to pay bribes for his own personal gain. Behind all this is his extreme desire for power and the gradual abandonment of the moral bottom line.
The end of the tragedy.
When everything seemed to be developing in a worse direction, several of Zhang Yang's backers were investigated one after another, and he became the target of the investigation. In the face of the organization's harsh scrutiny, Zhang Yang felt unprecedented fear and pressure. In the end, he chose to hang himself, ending his life in this extreme way.
