On this day, 29 years ago, on April 25, 1996 (March 8, 1996 in the lunar calendar), Zhang Xueliang moved to Hawaii. On April 25, 1996, Zhang Xueliang moved to Hawaii. Zhang Xueliang was also known as Hanqing and Yi 'an. Born on June 3, 1901 (April 16, 27th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty). A native of Haicheng County, Liaoning Province. Feng is the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the warlord leader. In July 1919, he graduated from the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces and was awarded the title of Colonel of the Army Artillery. In June 1920, he was promoted to brigade commander of the Fengjun Army. After the first Zhifeng War in 1922, he assisted Zhang Zuolin in consolidating the army. In September 1924, he served as commander of the Third Army of the Zhenwei Army during the Second Zhifeng War and fought in the Shanhaiguan area. In the spring of 1925, he led his troops to Tianjin and was promoted to general of the army. In June 1928, after Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese Kwantung Army, Zhang Xueliang was promoted as the leader by a veteran of the Feng Dynasty and succeeded as the commander-in-chief of security in the three northeastern provinces. In December, despite Japanese pressure, he announced that Northeast China would change its flag and obey the Nanjing National Government. He was appointed as a member of the National Government, commander of the Northeast Army Border Command, and chairman of the Northeast Government Council. In June 1930, he was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as deputy commander of the national army, navy and air force. In September, a telegram was sent to oppose Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, and the Northeast Army was sent into the Pass to support Chiang Kai-shek in winning the Central Plains War (see the Battle of Jiang, Yan and Feng). When the September 1st Incident occurred in 1931, Zhang Xueliang carried out Chiang Kai-shek's order of non-resistance, causing the three northeastern provinces to be quickly occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army. In November, he served as member of the Fourth Central Supervisory Committee of the Kuomintang and vice chairman of the Military Committee of the National Government. In April 1933, he was forced to resign and went to Italy for inspection. He returned to China in February 1934 and advocated supporting Chiang Kai-shek as a leader to revitalize China. He was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the "suppression of the Communist Party" in the three provinces of Hubei, Henan and Anhui. In March 1935, he served as chairman of the Military Commissar and director of the Wuchang Camp. In October, he served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest "Communist Suppression". At this time, Japan's invasion of China was rampant, Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly compromised, and the voice of the people of the whole country demanding to stop the civil war and implement the anti-Japanese war was increasingly high. Facing the grim reality that he could not resist Japan and recover the territory, and "suppress the Communist Party" and suffered repeated failures, Zhang Xueliang gradually realized Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary policy of "resisting the outside world first and stabilizing the inside" and realized that the only way out was to unite with the Communist Party to resist Japan. In April 1936, he met with Zhou Enlai, a representative of the Communist Party of China, and accepted the idea of stopping the civil war and unanimously resisting Japan. On December 4, 1936, Chiang Kai-shek went to Xi'an to urge Zhang Xueliang to send troops to "suppress the Communists", otherwise the Northeast Army would be transferred to Fujian and the Northwest Army would be transferred to Anhui. Zhang Xueliang repeatedly declared bitter remonstrance and asked Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan, but was rejected. On December 12, Zhang Xueliang, together with Yang Hucheng, director of Xi'an Pacification and commander of the Seventeenth Route Army, jointly launched the Xi'an Incident, which shocked China and abroad, detained Chiang Kai-shek and his military and political dignitaries, electrified the whole country, and put forward eight proposals for resisting Japan and saving the nation. At the same time, Zhou Enlai, the representative of the Communist Party of China, was invited to Xi'an to discuss the plan for saving the country. On the 14th, Zhang and Yang announced the abolition of the Northwest "Communist Suppression" General Command and the establishment of the Northwest Provisional Military Committee of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. After mediation by representatives of the Communist Party of China Zhou Silai and others and negotiations with Song Ziwen, Song Meiling and others, six agreements were reached on December 24: reorganization of the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions to jointly resist Japan and save the country; cessation of the policy of "suppressing the Communist Party"; and uniting with the Red Army to resist Japan. Chiang Kai-shek recognized the six agreements and claimed that he would vouch for it on his character. On December 25, Zhang Xueliang personally sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing. He was detained under house arrest and sentenced to 10 years in prison. On January 4 of the following year, at the behest of Chiang Kai-shek, although a "pardon" was announced, it was "still handed over to the Military Commission for strict control" and lived under indefinite house arrest since then. He was successively imprisoned in Fenghua, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Chongqing, and Hsinchu, Taiwan. Later, he moved to Taipei. Jiang Ching-kuo and Zhang Xueliang were together. After the death of Jiang Ching-kuo in 1988, Zhang Xueliang gradually gained personal freedom and publicly expressed his hope for the early reunification of the motherland and his return to his hometown in Northeast China. In April 1993, he was hired as honorary president of Northeastern University, and in May, he was hired as honorary chairman of Harbin Institute of Technology.
