Zhang Xueliang once said: "Yu Fengzhi is the best wife, Zhao Yidi is the wife who shares hardships and hardships, Mrs. Pei is the cutest girlfriend, and my favorite is in New York." Zhao Yidi has been with him for 72 years, has been with him through hardships, and has always loved him deeply.
Although there is a saying that Zhao Yidi's appearance is the main reason why Zhang Xueliang loves her all his life, her beauty is far more than that. In 1912, Zhao Yidi was born in Hong Kong, her family is a famous local family, and her beauty is like a beautiful and colorful glow on the horizon, which is eye-catching.
Zhao Yidi is the fourth in the family, so she is also known as Miss Zhao Si, she was born in a wealthy family, and her father Zhao Qinghua held many important positions in the Beiyang ** era, and was the deputy minister of transportation.
Whether it is family background or beauty, Zhao Yidi is a treasure in Zhang Xue's conscience.
Zhao Yidi's superior family environment enabled her to receive a high-quality education at a young age and formed a unique way of dealing with the world. Her personality is firm, which also laid the groundwork for her love story with Zhang Xueliang.
At the age of 14, Zhao Yidi appeared on the cover of his brother-in-law Feng Wuyue's "Beiyang Pictorial", which instantly became popular all over the country, and the girl's innocence and enchanting beauty attracted a lot of attention and was known as the "goddess".
In 1928, at a dance party in the villa of "Caijia Garden" in Tianjin, 16-year-old Zhao Yidi and 27-year-old Zhang Xueliang fell in love at first sight. However, at this time, Zhang Xueliang already had a wife Yu Fengzhi, who was the object of Zhang Zuolin's arranged marriage and officially married into the Marshal's Mansion.
Zhao Yidi insisted on being with Zhang Xueliang, although Zhao Qinghua was adamantly opposed. In the end, Zhao Yidi ignored his father's opposition and went to Shenyang alone to become Zhang Xueliang's female secretary.
When she refused to turn back, Zhao Qinghua was very angry, and even published a newspaper to break off the father-daughter relationship with Zhao Yidi. He wrote: "Our family ancestor, Zhao Qingxian, is a descendant of the Southern Song Dynasty, he is an upright official, a strict family keeper, there are family mottos in the family tree, and there are nine rules and regulations in the family ancestral hall, and for more than a thousand years, our children and grandchildren have always observed these traditions and never broken them."
The Federation of Literary and Art Circles given by the royal family in the past dynasties, the local **Spring and Autumn Worship, and even the former big ** and the prime minister also presented plaques, how prominent the honor of our family is! However, my fourth daughter, Zhao Qixia, was confused by the idea of freedom and equality, and ran away without knowing where to go.
According to Articles 19 and 32 of the rules of our family ancestral hall, she should be removed. I am a member of the ancestral hall and should abide by the family law and report it to the ancestral hall director for enforcement.
From now on, nothing happens because of this incident, and is not responsible, sincerely. ”
After the "Xi'an Incident", Zhao Yidi lived with Zhang Xueliang, although she did not have any name at that time, Yu Fengzhi also knew her relationship with Zhang Xueliang. However, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned when he sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, with Yu Fengzhi by his side, while Zhao Yidi took her and Zhang Xueliang's 6-year-old son, Zhang Lulin, to live in Hong Kong.
In early 1940, Yu Fengzhi was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Song Meiling arranged for her to go to the United States**. After Yu Fengzhi left, Zhao Yidi entrusted his son to the care of his American friend Iago, and he came to Zhang Xueliang's side.
Since then, Zhao Yidi has been by his side and takes care of his life, even though it means that she has to endure the pain of losing her freedom.
Why are you willing to deny yourself? Only for the sake of love can we give up ourselves. The world is willing to lay down their lives for the love of their country and for the sake of those they love. When her husband Zhang Xueliang was secretly transferred to Taiwan and confined to Inoue Hot Springs in Zhudong Town, Hsinchu County, she did not hesitate to choose to accompany him and accompanied him for 7 years.
And at the age of 40 (that is, in 1952), she was still radiant, and her body was plump and charming, and she was a big beauty at first glance.
This is Zhao Yidi, a practitioner of companionship is the most affectionate confession, a woman whose power of love makes her forever young.
On July 4, 1964, Zhao Yidi (40 years old) finally married Zhang Xueliang under the guidance of Song Meiling. For this day, Zhao Yidi waited silently for 36 years.
Before the two got married, Yu Fengzhi, who was in the United States, took the initiative to sign the divorce agreement. When Yu Fengzhi explained to the children, he said: "I am a reasonable person, I am not ignorant of Han Qing's situation, and I have thought about it myself.
Miss Zhao Si is a rare woman, who has spent 25 years of ups and downs with Han Qing, and this insistence is difficult for ordinary people to do. So I admire her very much. Now that she can accompany Han Qing, Han Qing is happy, and I am relieved.
As for my personal suffering, what is it compared to the endless hardship and loneliness they have experienced? ”
The love story of Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Yidi is like a moving epic, which is always moving. At the end of 1990, Zhang Xueliang regained his freedom and went to the United States with Zhao Yidi, but they did not choose to live in a luxury villa in Los Angeles, but chose Hawaii.
In June 2000, Zhao Yidi died of illness in Hawaii at the age of 88, and Zhang Xueliang's conscience was full of deep guilt for her. At Zhao Yidi's funeral, he expressed his deep gratitude and guilt to her, saying that he owed her too much.
A year later, Zhang Xueliang also passed away, and their love story came to an end. Today, they are buried together in the cemetery of Hawaii's "Valley of the Temples", where they will always rest together and their love story will be remembered forever for future generations.
