For Zhang Xueliang, 1915 was not a peaceful year. In addition to the turbulent national situation, there is also his unsatisfactory marriage.
It was an ordinary day, no different from the past. Just when he thought that was the end of the day, his father called him over and told him something that shocked and angered him.
When he saw his father that day, his father's expression was still so calm. But if you look carefully, there seems to be a hint of joy hidden in your eyes. After saying hello to his father, he asked his father what happened.
The father looked at him, the smile in his eyes became a little deeper, and he spoke slowly. He has already arranged a good marriage for him. The other party is the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and she is a good match for him.
When he heard these words, Zhang Xueliang's mind went blank. Then, there was intense disgust and resistance from deep within.
He is the son of a military governor. He is talented and has excellent grades. There are many beautiful girls around him who confess to him. He has his own pride and dignity. What's more, what he yearns for is a free love and a marriage united by love. He disdains this kind of "forced buying and selling". In addition, if he promised his father, his companions would definitely laugh at him.
He refuted his father, trying to use his anger and unwillingness to stop the marriage. However, everything is his "self-righteousness", and his father does not agree at all. At this point, the two broke up unhappy.
The proud young man did not want to lower his head, and the elderly father did not want to lose his face. The two sides have been in a stalemate. But this matter must come to an end. Finally, both sides took a step back. His father said that as long as he agreed to the marriage, he would not stop him from looking for "true love" outside.
So why did Zhang Xueliang’s father insist on pressing his son’s head to promote this marriage?
This is a long story.
Many years ago, when Zhang Zuolin himself was not yet powerful, he was rescued by Yu Fengzhi's father. At that time, anyone could step on him, and life was very difficult. Therefore, he always kept this kindness in mind to his father and always wanted to repay him in the future.
Thirdly, he heard that Yu Fengzhi and his son's horoscopes were very compatible, and the combination of the two would definitely lead to a good marriage and a good career.
In addition, he also heard that Yu Fengzhi himself was rare in appearance and talent. Such a woman is worthy of his daughter-in-law.
However, these are Zhang Zuolin’s personal wishful thinking. His son Zhang Xueliang did not want to acknowledge this wife at all.
However, the girl who married with full of joy did not know this. All she knew was that he was marrying the son of the warlord. Her future husband is a brave, intelligent, and masculine man.
However, after getting married, she gradually understood.
Although his husband was nice to her, there was always something missing between them. She could feel his indifference towards her from her husband's words and actions. She was very disappointed, but there was nothing she could do about it. All she can do is learn to be a good wife and daughter-in-law.
However, it didn’t take long for her to know that her husband liked someone, and that person was not her. She was very sad. Although she loved her husband deeply, she had her pride and she was also an educated and general person.
She did not quarrel with her husband because of this, causing chaos in the house. She just kept that love silently in her heart and became a more mature person.
She respects her parents-in-law, gets along well with relatives, and is also very kind to her servants. Slowly, her status in the family improved and most people respected her. At the same time, her husband, who initially looked down on her, also unknowingly developed feelings for her. Everything is going in the right direction.
However, changes eventually came.
After the Xi'an Incident, her husband Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest. Overnight, the warm home of the past was destroyed. During the days when her husband was imprisoned, she never left him and traveled to many places with him.
The formerly pampered ladies and ladies of high families have become increasingly haggard due to deep worries and traveling back and forth. Until she got breast cancer.
In order to cure the disease, she went to the United States on her husband's persuasion. The disease has been tormenting her, and she has become no longer beautiful and attractive. However, her inner desire to tide over the difficulties with her husband has not diminished at all. Finally, she defeated the disease.
The situation was changing rapidly, and seeing no hope of returning to China, she could only follow her husband's arrangements and take care of the family. With no money or power, she turned around and invested in the stock market in order to create good living conditions for her children as soon as possible. Although she has confidence in herself, she still has fear and uneasiness in her heart.
Fortunately, she has firm beliefs and good talents. With this, she slowly made enough money and had the capital to support her family. She is satisfied watching her children grow up slowly. However, deep in her heart, she still felt the regret and pain of not being able to see her husband, and the guilt of not being able to share the joys and sorrows with him.
With such emotions and full of love, she walked through the lonely second half of her life alone.
At the end of the story, she died in a foreign country, in the dark night. She left quietly, without being able to see the person she loved again like the scene described in the novel.
In her life, there were times of joy and wantonness, and times of unwillingness to suffer, but in the end, they all fell asleep forever in the night with her life.
In fact, neither of them would have thought that the original goodbye would become "Never See You Again".
As for Zhang Xueliang, who was not kind to his first wife Yu Fengzhi, why did he never dare to divorce his wife? In his early years, it was his father Zhang Zuolin's majesty that kept him from doing anything. In her middle age and later years, Yu Fengzhi used her knowledge and interest, and her long-lasting love in adversity and adversity to win the "prodigal son turning back". Zhang Xueliang fell in love with the wife he was once dissatisfied with. At that moment, his wife had already They are relatives.
