Zhang Xueliang ranks among the "Four Childes of the Republic of China" and "Four Handsome Men of the Republic of China". His family background and face value are Qi Fei, so he can be called a winner in life.
Judging from some real photos of Zhang Xueliang, he is really handsome and personable.
For example, this one, well proportioned, radiant and handsome.
Another example is this one, full of heroic spirit, handsome appearance and average spirit.
However, in some other photos of Zhang Xueliang, his facial features are sunken, his face is obscene, his eyes are dim and his expression is precocious, which is completely different from the word "handsome man".
Why on earth is this?
The answer is that drug abuse has changed him.
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, opium smoking was a very common phenomenon in the upper class, but Zhang Xueliang's drug addiction was staggering.
Zhang Xueliang started smoking opium during the direct war in 1924, and was successfully detoxified in Shanghai in 1933, with a poisoning age of 9 years.
How big is Zhang Xueliang's drug addiction? According to his own memory, opium can no longer meet his needs, so he injected morphine every two hours, and at most he injected dozens of needles a day.
1933 during the battle of Jehol, Zhang Xueliang visited the front line and stopped for injections every 30 miles, which surprised his colleague Song Ziwen.
After the fall of Jehol, Zhang Xueliang planned to study abroad, and Song Ziwen advised him to give up drugs. The reason is simple: "one is for personal health, and the other is for the image of the country."
At that time, Zhang Xueliang really had no image at all, and he often went upstairs for injections in the middle of talking with guests.
Zhang Xueliang deeply felt that Song Ziwen had a point. He can't let foreigners think that China people are really the sick man of East Asia! This is the biggest motivation for him to quit drugs.
At the same time, Zhang Xueliang also deeply felt the harm caused by drug addiction. He said, "The living cannot be enslaved by the dead. I must give up this thing. "
It is rumored that Du found a detoxification doctor for Zhang Xueliang, but according to his own memory, he was recommended by a foreign doctor named Miller, a German-American.
Zhang Xueliang is a cruel man, and he is cruel to himself. He knows it is difficult for him to give up drugs, not to mention his addiction is so great. He told Miller that after I started, no matter how painful and demanding I was, I couldn't stop. If I die, it's mine, not yours. If it doesn't work, tie me up.
The actual process is more painful than he thought. He growled, struggled and even wanted to kill someone. Later, he was really tied to the bed by Miller, and he was in a coma for three days when the pain was extreme.
However, Zhang Xueliang survived and did not die. After struggling for half a month on the line of life and death, he went downstairs and then successfully got rid of drugs.
Zhang Xueliang, a former drug addict, was successful in detoxification in a short time because of his strong will.
After detoxification, Zhang Xueliang returned to the peak of Yan value and his spirit was more radiant. Since then, he has never touched drugs again, which is the key to his longevity.
Zhang Xueliang dictated history in his later years and told his secret of longevity. He laughed at himself: "Others eat, drink, gamble and smoke opium."
Later, Zhang Xueliang was able to live to 10 1 year old, which also benefited from his understanding of stopping from the brink and successfully recovering from drug abuse. Otherwise, according to his drug addiction at that time, he would not live to be 100, or even 40 years old.
This sentence of Zhang Xueliang is correct. The living cannot enslave the dead. After quitting drug addiction, he regained not only his face value, but also his self-esteem and new life.
