After the Xi Incident, Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek. /kloc-in October, Ms. Zhao Yidi came to Nanjing with her young son Zhang Lvlin to accompany her troubled husband, General Zhang Xueliang. For various reasons, I couldn't make it, so I had to move to Hong Kong for nearly three years. 1940, after learning that Zhang Xueliang was transferred to Yangming Cave in Xiuwen, Guizhou, Zhao Yidi once again decided to go there to accompany Zhang Xueliang in prison. If you want to be with your husband, you can't take your youngest son, Zhang Lvlin. After some painful thinking, Zhao Yidi decided to send his son Zhang Lvlin, who is under 10, to San Francisco, USA, and entrust him to an American friend, Iago and Enna.

Iyag had been to the northeast of China in the 1920s and worked as a quartermaster under Zhang Xueliang's father, a warlord. When Zhang Xueliang was young, he had contacts with Eliado and had deep feelings. When Zhang Xueliang was in charge of the military and political power in the three northeastern provinces on behalf of his father, he paid more attention to the old quartermaster Yiyang.

1933, Zhang Xueliang retired and went to Europe for military investigation, accompanied by Yiyang. After the inspection, Iago returned to his native England. After the war, Ego moved to the western American city of San Francisco. 1940, on the eve of Zhao Yidi's trip to Guizhou, he left his son Lu Lin in the care of the couple, and they accepted it gladly. Before leaving, Zhao Yidi told Mr. and Mrs. Iyager not to let their children have more contact with the outside world, lest someone hurt them. When the mother and son parted, the young Zhang Lvlin cried very sadly, crying to go to see her father with her mother and hug her mother's leg tightly. At this time, Zhao Yidi was in tears, endured great pain in her heart, bid farewell to her young children and came to her husband.

Iyag and Ena deeply admire Ms. Zhao Yidi's behavior, knowing that this is also the great trust of General Zhang Xueliang at a critical moment. The Yiyang couple, who have always been brave, feel that they can't forget the kindness of the "old commander" and "little commander" of the Zhang family, and they must raise this child. In order not to reveal Zhang Lvlin's true identity, Iyag and Edna decided to move out of the Chinese community in San Francisco where they now live. Their main concern is that there are people in China who are familiar with them, and they are afraid that they will discover the secrets entrusted by Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Yidi. Besides, to be on the safe side, Iago and Edna not only changed Zhang Lvlin's American name "Kerr", but also made the child almost completely westernized. The whole family taught him English and talked with him in English. Edgar and Edna also claimed to be Zhang Lvlin's parents. That Zhang Lvlin himself could not tell the name of his father, Zhang Xueliang.

In order to ensure the safety of Zhang Lvlin, the Iyag couple moved to Los Angeles after finishing primary school in San Francisco, Zhang Lvlin. Because of his cleverness and diligence, Zhang Lvlin was admitted to the University of California to study aeronautics and astronautics after graduating from high school. After graduating from college, Zhang Lvlin finally became an aerospace expert.

1940, Zhang Lvlin's mother, Ms. Zhao Yidi, went to the United States to entrust an orphan, then came to Guizhou and was imprisoned with Zhang Xueliang, almost isolated from the world. After that, her son Zhang Lvlin was never heard from again. From 65438 to 0946, after Ms. Zhao Yidi and her husband Zhang Xueliang were secretly transferred to Taiwan Province Province via Chongqing, she entered a stricter imprisonment.

In a blink of an eye 15 years have passed, and they haven't contacted their son for 15 years. Zhao Yidi misses his son all the time, especially after the fire in San Francisco Chinese Community 1952. He is more worried about the whereabouts of his son. 1in the spring of 955, Zhang Xueliang's good friend Dong Xianguang and his wife were about to go to the United States as "ambassadors". Before leaving, they went to Zhang Xueliang's residence to say goodbye. At this time, Zhao Yidi suddenly remembered his son Zhang Lvlin, who was separated from him in 15, and hoped that after they went to the United States, they could help them find their foster son in the United States. Dong Xianguang and his wife immediately asked Ms. Zhao Yidi about Zhang Lvlin's address in the United States. But after 10 years of imprisonment, Zhang Xueliang did not have the freedom to communicate with the outside world. The couple could not provide Dong Xianguang with the current address of the Iago couple in the United States, but only gave Zhao Yidi 1940' s mailing address with Iago: No.309 Green Avenue, Bay Area, San Francisco, USA.

After Mr. and Mrs. Dong Xianguang arrived in the United States, they went to San Francisco to look for Zhang Lvlin according to the address provided by Ms. Zhao Yidi. However, when they came here, they found that Mr. Igoya's residence in the Bay Area had disappeared and the original green avenue had become a golf course.

Dong Xianguang and his wife then turned to the San Francisco municipal authorities to find out who the nine people died in the big fire in 1952. As a result, they breathed a sigh of relief, without Iago and his wife Ina. As for where the Iyag couple moved after the fire, it is difficult to find out for a while. Dong Xianguang and his wife turned to the FBI for help, and finally found that Eina, the wife of Egu, died nine years ago, and Egu himself moved to Los Angeles before the 1952 fire. According to the clue, Dong Xianguang and his wife finally met the adult Zhang Lvlin in Los Angeles. From 65438 to 0956, Zhang Lvlin came to Taiwan Province Province for the first time and went to Kaohsiung to visit his parents who were still imprisoned. In the summer of 1959, after Taiwan Province officially announced that Zhang Xueliang had regained his freedom, Zhao Yidi went to visit relatives in the United States in the summer of 196 1. Since then, Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Yidi have been in frequent contact with their sons who can only speak English but not Chinese, enjoying family happiness.

While studying at the University of California, she met a girl from China, who was the niece of Guangdong warlord Chen. However, when they met at that time, neither of them knew each other's life story. It was not until they got engaged that Chen Shuzhen knew that her husband was the son of the famous general Zhang Xueliang. In fact, after they are both stars, they are really suitable.

Zhang Lvlin and his wife Chen Shuzhen have two sons. The eldest son Zhang Juxin, the eldest grandson of General Zhang Xueliang, was born in 1962. He graduated from Stanford University with a doctorate in electrical engineering. He has made outstanding contributions in the field of scientific research and won the American National Science Award. The second son, Zhang, the second grandson of General Zhang Xueliang, was born in 1967 and is said to be the elite of the Zhang family.

After moving to the United States, Zhang Xueliang told his son many times that his greatest wish in his later years was to visit relatives in the northeast, but he could not make it because of health reasons. In order to fulfill his father's last wish, Zhang Lvlin, his son, was entrusted by his father to return to the mainland many times to visit relatives in his hometown in Northeast China.

1in may, 994, Zhang Lvlin and his wife Chen Shuzhen returned to Shenyang to visit relatives and friends for the first time via hongkong and Peking. When the couple came to Beijing, they insisted on visiting relatives in an unofficial capacity, that is, as China space experts studying in the United States. After learning that Mr. Zhang Lvlin had arrived in Beijing, relevant parties invited him to visit the physical objects and models of satellites and rockets launched by China. After the visit, Zhang Lvlin was particularly pleased with the rapid development of China's space industry.

Later, he returned to Liaoning and paid tribute to his grandfather Zhang's Marshal Mausoleum on behalf of his father. The Grand Marshal's Mausoleum is located on the Gao Liying plate, 60km northeast of Fushun City. It was built by his father, Zhang Xueliang, and his grandfather, Zhang, who died in the Huanggutun incident in 1929. 193 1 year, when Zhang Xueliang was preparing to move Zhang's coffin temporarily parked in Shenyang into this antique tomb, the "September 18th Incident" happened. Since then, Zhang Xueliang has left the Northeast and never returned to his hometown of Shenyang. Zhang Qianling has never been realized, resulting in Fushun's "Marshal Mausoleum" being empty. Until 1990, when Zhang Lvlin's father, Zhang Xueliang, really regained his freedom, he repeatedly told his son that the first important thing when he returned to his hometown in Northeast China was to move his grandfather's coffin to the Grand Marshal's Mausoleum. But it was not completed until the death of Zhang Xueliang in 200 1 year.

Zhang Lvlin was filled with gratitude when he saw the125,000 square meter "Grand Marshal's Mausoleum", which was well preserved after more than half a century of ups and downs. In order to reassure his father on the other side of the ocean, Zhang Lvlin also photographed all the scenery in the mausoleum area with his camera and brought it back to the United States.
