Zhang Ziqiang extended reading: Zhang Ziqiang's final letter to his wife Extended reading: Zhang Ziqiang's final letter to his wife After Zhang Ziqiang was sentenced, the writer stated that he had personally gone to Thailand to interview Zhang Ziqiang's wife Luo Yanfang, and based on this he wrote the book "Woman Against the Water-Self-Statement of Luo Yanfang, Wife of Zhang Ziqiang, the Thief King of the Century"(Published by Mass Publishing House). The book discloses a final letter written by Zhang Ziqiang to his wife Luo Yanfang. Some excerpts of the letter are as follows: Ana (Luo Yanfang): I know you have tried everything possible, and I also know that you have prayed thousands of times. Whenever I am in the dark, I feel your voice. But I'm really sorry, but I still have to go. I once thought of our old age being spent in a quiet town. Our daily job is to fish, raise chickens, and then wait for the children to come back from school. However, when I thought about doing this, it was too late and no one would give me this opportunity. When a person truly feels that life is coming to an end, he will realize how happy it is to sit quietly on a bench. If you have a wife and two children, what else could the world be besides heaven? I regret knowing you and I regret that we met like that once. If we had met earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been in the underworld anymore. Perhaps I can be a mediocre husband, that is the day of the world ah, every day can be intimate and quarrel with his wife, that is heaven ah. I don't know how much money you have now, but no matter how much, leave Hong Kong and live in a place with a lake. Take my thoughts on you with you. I want you to raise them, not for me, but for you. I don't need their love anymore. I can't love them anymore. Don't tell them what kind of person their father is, just tell them that their father loves them very much and hopes that when they grow up, they will study hard, not set too high demands on themselves, and be good at being a civilian who can eat enough food, have clothes to wear, and can get some money to spend from time to time. Take good care of my mother. I have never brought her much happiness. In this life, apart from you, she is also the one who loves me the most. I love her as I love you. Ana, believe me, don't be sad. I really finished the last stop of my life in a very calm state of mind. I have never felt so calm and without desires as I am today. You have saved me many times, thank you so much! Without you, I would have left the world long ago! Kiss you! ziqiang
