In 1961, in order to attract and retain overseas Chinese talents and scholars, Chiang Kai-shek initiated the "Yangmingshan Chinese Scholars Seminar", and the invitation letters were widely distributed around the world, attracting many scholars to attend the conference.
During Chiang Kai-shek's meeting, the appearance of a woman surprised everyone, and everyone couldn't help but look at this beautiful woman with outstanding temperament. Chiang Kai-shek was also very surprised when he learned about it, he didn't expect that the daughter of the former enemy family could now achieve such an achievement by her own efforts.
So, who is this woman? Why was she able to provoke such a reaction from Chiang Kai-shek? It turned out that she was Zhang Xueliang's beloved daughter, studying abroad, and as the daughter of the handsome house, she was quite loved by Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang has three wives and five children in his life, but there is only one daughter, who is deeply loved by Zhang Xueliang. This daughter was born to Zhang Xueliang's first wife, Yu Fengzhi, although Yu Fengzhi was very considerate to Zhang Xueliang, but Zhang Xueliang was not very satisfied with this marriage that was shoehorned by his father.
After Zhang Zuolin was appeased in 1908, he was ordered to go to the Songliao Plain to suppress the Hu bandits. After entering Zhengjiatun, Zhang Zuolin set up a bandit suppression headquarters in the backyard of a firm called "Fengjuchang".
The owner of this business, Yu Wendou, a wealthy family in Zhengjiatun who was often harassed by bandits, welcomed Zhang Zuolin's arrival. After a few days of getting along, Zhang Zuolin and Yu Wendou formed a deep friendship.
The following year, when Zhang Zuolin encountered difficulties in suppressing the Hu bandits and lacked sufficient reinforcements and food and grass, Yu Wendou personally persuaded Zhang Zuolin's enemy rear support commander to help Zhang Zuolin turn defeat into victory.
Since then, Zhang Zuolin and Yu Wendou have become brothers with different surnames, and the two have a close relationship. By chance, Zhang Zuolin went to Zhengjiatun to catch up with Yu Wendou, and found that Yu Wendou's daughter Yu Fengzhi was gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, and very attractive to him.
Learning more about Yu Fengzhi's age was about the same age as his son, which made him even more excited.
Zhang Zuolin and Yu Wendou agreed that the two families would become in-laws, and the parents of both parties quietly set the marriage without the child's knowledge. Zhang Xueliang was reluctant when he learned about it, he didn't understand why his father fell in love with a country woman, but helplessly, Zhang Zuolin often used his children's marriage as a political bargaining chip, and no one could change his decision.
In 1914, under pressure from his father, Zhang Xueliang married Yu Fengzhi, who was three years older than him. Although the two have no love, they take care of each other in life, and Zhang Xueliang is no longer indifferent to Fengzhi's dedication.
In the second year of marriage, Feng Zhi gave birth to a daughter for Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang was completely moved by this little female doll, the Zhang family liked this child, and Zhang Xueliang also named the child himself.
Zhang Xueliang loved his daughter deeply and named her "Zhang Luying", hoping that she could be like the two ladies of Shunzhi in ancient times. He takes care of his daughter's caresses and often coaxes her to sleep himself.
At the same time, he also loves his sons very much, and although the family has a large population, he has not reduced his love for them. Inspired by the "beauty of the Orient, there is a doctor and witch in Lu Mountain", he named his three sons "Lu Xun", "Lu Yu" and "Lu Qi", and changed his daughter's name "Ying" to "Ying".
Zhang Zuolin held a banquet at home to celebrate the birth of his first granddaughter. Despite his dissatisfaction with his marriage, these emotions did not affect his love for his children.
Zhang Xueliang entered the Dongshan Provincial Lecture Hall in 1919 to study and embarked on the road of a soldier. Zhang Luying's childhood was mainly with her mother Yu Fengzhi, and she was ignorant at that time and didn't know what it was like to miss her father.
Yu Fengzhi, as a well-known talented woman, is very attentive to the education of her daughter Zhang Luying, who has been able to recite many poems and recognize many words when she was a child.
With Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zuolin fighting everywhere, Zhang Luying gradually grew up, combined with the excellent bloodline of her parents, with a delicate appearance, a fresh and refined temperament and versatile, which attracted the attention of major leaders.
In 1930, 14-year-old Zhang Luying was photographed for the first time, and was put on the front page of Shenyang's "Daya Pictorial", with the text: A recent photo of Zhang Xueliang's son-in-law, Ms. Lu Ying.
* Zhang Luying has an extraordinary temperament, showing the beautiful aura of a 14-year-old girl.
1.Zhang Luying, Zhang Zuolin's first granddaughter and Zhang Xueliang's firstborn daughter, has lived in a flowery environment since she was a child. During her studies at the Fengtian Provincial Girls' Normal School, Zhang Luying wanted to study abroad many times in the face of Japanese ambitions, but Zhang Xueliang refused her request for safety reasons.
It wasn't until Zhang Xueliang went to Europe to investigate that he agreed that Zhang Luying and his younger brother, Yu Fengzhi and others would go to Italy to study together. After studying in Rome for two years, Zhang Luying moved to London, England to continue her studies.
Despite her noble status in her family, she refused to marry politically, saying that "if you want to marry, you will marry cloth". 2.Zhang Luying, Zhang Zuolin's first granddaughter and Zhang Xueliang's firstborn daughter, her life is destined to be extraordinary.
She has been pampered at home since she was a child, and even Zhang Zuolin was moved by her liveliness and cuteness. As the pearl of the Zhang family, Zhang Luying is smart and clever, ranking among the best in every subject, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has never disappointed her family.

3.Zhang Luying, Zhang Zuolin's first granddaughter and Zhang Xueliang's firstborn daughter, her life is full of legends. She has been pampered at home since she was a child, and even Zhang Zuolin was moved by her liveliness and cuteness.
As the pearl of the Zhang family, Zhang Luying is smart and clever, ranking among the best in every subject, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has never disappointed her family. However, after the Japanese ambitions were exposed, she wanted to study abroad many times, but Zhang Xueliang kept refusing for safety reasons.
It wasn't until Zhang Xueliang went to Europe to investigate that she agreed to go to Italy to study with her younger brother, Yu Fengzhi and others. After studying in Rome for two years, Zhang Luying moved to London, England to continue her studies.
Despite her noble status in her family, she refused to marry politically, saying that "if you want to marry, you will marry cloth".
After Zhang Luying studied abroad, she became the object of pursuit of many high-ranking sons, including the highly famous Confucian family. The Confucian family is a descendant of Confucius, and Kong Xiangxi is a banker, a wealthy businessman, the president of the Nanjing National ** Executive Yuan, and the Minister of Finance.
Both Zhang and Kong have important positions in both business and political circles, so the marriage of the two families will be a strong alliance that will bring benefits to the future of both companies. Kong Xiangxi knew that Zhang Xueliang's daughter was the same age as his son Kong Lingkan, so he brought a dowry to the door.
The Zhang family was very happy about this family business, but Zhang Luying objected to it. Although she is not familiar with politics, she has learned that Kong Xiangxi's son is a pampered and domineering gentleman, and such a character cannot live a good life with her.
Zhang Luying resolutely opposes arranged marriages and does not want to repeat the mistakes of her parents' unhappy marriage. She adheres to her own view of love and advocates free love. While studying in the UK, she met Tao Pengfei from Fengcheng County, Liaoning Province.
Although Tao Pengfei does not have a superior family background and ties in military and political circles, he is a hard-working and talented young man. Among his suitors, he stands out and is the "crane" in Zhang Luying's heart.
Although Tao Pengfei and Zhang Luying come from different worlds, they believe in fate and decide to stay together for the rest of their lives.
Zhang Luying and Tao Pengfei found that they were very compatible with each other in the process of getting along, Zhang Luying did not have the pampering of the eldest lady, and Tao Pengfei was sunny and motivated. They quickly fell in love and worked hard together to support each other.
With his own efforts, Tao Pengfei became a leader among international students at that time, and made extensive friends with scholars from all walks of life. After graduating from the UK, he went on to study in Germany and the United States, where he eventually received his Ph.D. and stayed at Columbia University in the United States to teach.
After Zhang Luying finished studying in the UK, she also flew to the United States with Tao Pengfei and obtained a master's degree from Columbia University. They learn together, progress together, and their feelings warm up unconsciously.
After the two agreed, Zhang Luying decided to tell Zhang Xueliang, who had been imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, about her love status, hoping to get his blessing and agree to hold the wedding.
However, Zhang Xueliang did not give blessings, which became Zhang Luying's regret at that time.
Zhang Luying and Tao Pengfei tied the knot in the United States and established a happy family. In order to take care of their mother, their father was in solitary confinement at the time, and the country was invaded by the Japanese, they settled in the United States and immigrated to Montgomery Street in San Francisco in 1958.
The scenery there is pleasant, which is very suitable for Fengzhi to live. Zhang Luying and her husband are engaged in education work together and have a high prestige among the Chinese. They have made extensive contacts with people from all walks of life and are deeply loved by the Chinese people.
Although life in the United States is good, Zhang Luying has always missed her father, and they have not been reunited for many years. After Zhang Luying separated from her father in Italy, she never saw him again.
The more time passed, the stronger her desire to return to China to see her father became. And Tao Pengfei also very much wanted to get his father-in-law's approval, the last time he wrote back, Zhang Xueliang did not agree to their marriage, and later his mother Yu Fengzhi was in charge.
However, despite so many difficulties, Zhang Luying and Tao Pengfei persevered and finally broke through the obstacles and achieved the reunion of father and daughter. This reunion made them feel extremely happy and gratified, and it also brought their relationship closer.
Their stories show us that as long as there is love, nothing can stop us from achieving our dreams.
Tao Pengfei is no longer the poor student, and now he has a successful career and a happy life. This gave Zhang Xueliang more confidence in the future of his daughter Zhang Luying.
He longed to see his father-in-law as soon as possible, but unfortunately, he was in a difficult situation and even he could not guarantee his safety. As a result, Zhang and her husband have never had the opportunity to return to China to visit her grandfather.
However, many years later, Chiang Kai-shek, who had imprisoned Zhang Xueliang, offered an opportunity. In 1961, Chiang Kai-shek invited Chinese scholars from all over the world to Taiwan to participate in the "Yangmingshan Chinese Scholars Seminar".
The invitation letter crossed the ocean to the United States, and Zhang Luying and his wife were also included in the invitation list. Seeing the invitation letter from Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Luying's heart was full of anger. She understands that this enemy who has imprisoned her grandfather for many years is definitely not a person worthy of respect.
However, Zhang Luying's good education allowed her to suppress her anger. She began to think about how she could use the opportunity to justify her return home to visit her grandfather. She decided to accept the invitation, attend a seminar, and use this as an excuse to visit her grandfather.
Chiang Kai-shek was skeptical about his mother's approval of his decision, but he went to see Yu Fengzhi anyway. Unexpectedly, Yu Fengzhi also supported Zhang Luying to return to Taiwan to visit Zhang Xueliang.
As a mother, Yu Fengzhi fully understands her daughter's feelings, no matter what grievances she and Zhang Xueliang have, Zhang Luying is always the daughter that both of them love.
Ms. Chang and her husband traveled to Taiwan as planned, not wanting to be recognized by Taiwanese journalists, so they tried to hide their identities. However, some sharp-eyed journalists spotted them.
Soon, the news of Zhang Xueliang's daughter returning to China to attend the academic conference spread around, and many ** people gathered outside the hotel where they stayed, hoping to get the latest news.
During the academic conference, Zhang Luying and her husband appeared at the research meeting. Compared with Zhang Xueliang's daughter who I knew many years ago, Zhang Luying seems more mature and stable, but the temperament of a young lady is still deeply engraved in her bones.
Everyone knew the story between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Luying's appearance surprised everyone, and they were all very curious about why Zhang Luying appeared at this time.
Chiang Kai-shek's surprise was not only seen among those who watched the excitement, but even the research meeting he held himself. He did not expect that the "daughter of the Shuaifu" would return as an overseas Chinese female scholar and attend the conference he hosted.
This sudden situation made Chiang Kai-shek feel that the comer was not good. As Chiang Kai-shek had predicted, Zhang Luying's real purpose was to meet Zhang Xueliang.
However, with Chiang Kai-shek's character, will he let Zhang Luying get his wish? Zhang Luying was busy during the academic research meeting, just to see her father. She used all of her social connections with her husband, including Zhang Xueliang's close friends Wang Xinheng and Huang Renlin, who were influential in the KMT's military and political circles, in the hope that they would help.
However, no matter how hard Zhang Luying tried, nothing came of it. After all, matters involving Zhang Xueliang could only be approved with the nod of Chiang Kai-shek. Just when Zhang Luying felt hopeless, Wang Xinheng introduced her to a figure, that is, Zhang Qun, a veteran of the Kuomintang.
Zhang Qun once swore to Chiang Kai-shek as a brother, and still had a certain influence in front of Chiang Kai-shek, so it was most suitable to find him.
Zhang Qun used ** pressure to get Chiang Kai-shek to agree to Zhang Luying's request to visit relatives. Major newspapers published the news of Zhang Luying, including a news article "Zhang Xueliang's daughter came to Taiwan to visit relatives, but the official ignored it", which instantly spread among the people.
Even Zhang Xueliang, who was imprisoned, knew about it, and he was very moved. So he wrote to Zhang Qun, hoping that he could help. Zhang Qun was moved by the deep affection of the father and daughter, and immediately left for Chiang Kai-shek's mansion.
After Zhang Qun's persuasion, Zhang Luying was finally able to meet Zhang Xueliang. With excitement, she and Tao Pengfei crossed the Fuxing Gang in Taipei City, which was full of eyeliners, and came to a courtyard outside.
That was where her father, Zhang Xueliang, lived. From a distance, Zhang Luying saw Zhang Xueliang standing outside the hall looking in the direction of the gate, and after seeing his daughter's figure again, Zhang Xueliang walked towards the gate excitedly.
Zhang Luying also entered the yard, ran to meet it, and threw herself into her father's arms. She missed her for many years and didn't have time to tell it at the moment, turning into teardrops that seeped into her father's clothes.
Zhang Luying looked at Zhang Xueliang affectionately, and finally said the words that had been held in her heart for a long time: "Dad, I finally saw you." The husband next to him, Tao Pengfei, also shouted excitedly: "Dad! ”
Seeing his daughter's happy appearance, Zhang Xueliang felt very satisfied. However, as soon as Italy parted, he and his daughter had not seen each other for many years, and the once tall and handsome father had become old.
Seeing this, Zhang Luying couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up sadly. Zhang Xueliang hugged his daughter tightly and comforted: "Lu Ying has grown so big, and she loves to cry like a child." ”
When Zhang Luying heard her father's words, she burst into tears and couldn't help laughing. Under the leadership of Zhang Xueliang, the father and daughter walked into the living room together. The two hadn't seen each other in years and had a lot to say.
Zhang Luying talked endlessly, and Zhang Xueliang listened with a smile. Seeing that his daughter is now living happily, Zhang Xueliang feels very satisfied. Just as they were chatting happily, someone quietly reminded Zhang Xueliang that his time to visit relatives had come.
Zhang Luying was very reluctant and looked at Zhang Xueliang with tears, and Zhang Xueliang told her: "Go back and tell your mother, so that she doesn't have to worry, I live well here." Tell her to pay more attention to her body and not worry about me all the time. ”
Although the time to visit relatives has come, Zhang Luying's mood has not calmed down because of this. She looked at Zhang Xueliang, her heart full of gratitude and reluctance. However, she knew that their time to meet was limited.
She held Zhang Xueliang's hand tightly, and the tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably. Zhang Xueliang looked at his daughter, and his heart was full of reluctance. He knew that there was a limit to how long they could see each other.
He held Zhang Luying's hand tightly, and the tears in his eyes couldn't be suppressed. He told his daughter that he would be doing well here, telling her not to worry and to pay more attention to her body.
Although the time for their family visit has arrived, Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Luying's mood has not calmed down because of this. They held each other's hands tightly, their hearts filled with gratitude and reluctance.
They know that their time to see each other is limited, but their feelings are unlimited.
The parting of Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Luying made their mutual meeting unattainable. Zhang Xueliang's helplessness made them only wait patiently. In the decades after their separation, they never saw each other again, and it was not until Chiang Kai-shek's death that Zhang Xueliang was freed.
In 1991, Zhang Xueliang and his wife Zhao Yidi went to the United States to visit relatives, and the first stop they arrived at was Zhang Luying's home. The father and daughter met again, and until Zhang Xueliang died, Zhang Luying was always by his side, and also realized the 57-year-long reunion wish of the father and daughter.
