The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Standing on the deck of the ship, Zhang Xueliang looked at the port terminal in the distance, and sighed with emotion: "After five years, I finally came to Shanghai again!"

Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Which old friend did Liu Shuai think of?"

Zhang Xueliang looked slightly embarrassed, then smiled and said: "There are so many old friends in Shanghai."

To say that Zhang Xueliang's most wonderful experience in Shanghai five years ago was the encounter with Soong Meiling. One described the other party as a "knight on the Rhine", and the other said to reporters in front of his wife in his later years, "If I hadn't already had a wife at that time, I would have chased after Song Meiling fiercely."

The young commander-in-chief spent his whole life in the crowd of fans. Not long after Zhenfei's niece married Puyi's younger brother, she had an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Xueliang. The daughter of Zhu Qiqian, the former Prime Minister of Beiyang, and the two ladies of the wealthy Liang family in Tianjin, all flirt with Zhang Xueliang.

Even Mussolini's daughter Ada later fell in love with Zhang Xueliang secretly. Ada's husband was a diplomatic envoy in China, and the two met on business. Zhang Xueliang was in charge of accompanying Ada for a few days in Beiping, and then sent a car to take her to Tianjin for a boat ride.

Aida cried loudly on the way to Shanghai because Zhang Xueliang ignored her. Zhang Xueliang was baffled when he heard about it. He had never flirted with Mussolini's daughter. The contact between the two was purely diplomatic.

Later, Zhang Xueliang went to Shanghai to quit acupuncture (using morphine to quit opium, and became addicted to morphine). Ada would call Zhang Xueliang’s doctor every morning and secretly inquire about Zhang Xueliang’s condition. This unrequited love is crazy enough.

Leaving aside the identity of the warlord leader, Zhang Xueliang is extremely attractive. Not only women are easy to like him, but even men are easy to have a good impression of him, thinking that this person is worthy of being a heart-to-heart friend.

As long as you are friends with Zhang Xueliang, you don't have to take the initiative to speak up when you have difficulties, as long as he knows, he will definitely help. What kind of charity activities, what kind of educational undertakings, as long as they are good things that benefit the country and the people, even if a stranger finds Zhang Xueliang, he will be very generous with the money, and it is often more than 100,000 yuan.

This is a good friend, a good brother, a good boss, but not a good leader.

When Zhang Xueliang came to the south this time, he only brought a few adjutants with him. His wife, Yu Fengzhi, is still doing charity work in the Northeast. It will be a while before they come to Shanghai to meet, and then the couple will go to Nanjing to work together.

When the ship docked, Zhou Hexuan followed Zhang Xueliang down the gangway, and saw the wharf going up the mountain and the tsunami, and the welcoming scene was extraordinarily grand.

Zhang Qun, the mayor of Shanghai and the head of the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang, led a team to greet him, shook hands warmly and said, "Commander Zhang, I finally expect you to come!"

"Brother Yue Jun," Zhang Xueliang smiled, "This is not a formal occasion, just call me Han Qing."

Zhang Qun and Zhang Xueliang are also old acquaintances. During the Central Plains War, this person was the one who asked Zhang Xueliang to play political mahjong every day. Behind him are Gu Weijun, Jiang Lufu and others, all of whom are old friends of Zhang Xueliang.

After everyone shook hands with Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Qun took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, we met again. There was some misunderstanding last time, please forgive me."

The misunderstanding Zhang Qun said was naturally the work of Zhou Hexuan banned by the Shanghai Party Headquarters.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Where is it, small things are not worth mentioning."

Gu Weijun also said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhou, I have known you for a long time, and today I am finally honored to meet you."

"To each other." Zhou Hexuan said sincerely, how can someone who has a little understanding of the history of the Republic of China not have heard of Gu Weijun's name?

The greatest diplomat in the Republic of China era has been wanted by the Nanjing government for the past two years. Because of the Central Plains War, Chang Kaishen wanted to win over Zhang Xueliang, so he revoked the arrest warrant and invited Gu Weijun back to be a lobbyist.

As for Jiang Lufu next to Gu Weijun, he is also a diplomat. The most important thing is that Jiang Lufu has a daughter named Jiang Shiyun, known as Miss Jiang Si.

Zhou Hexuan soon saw Miss Jiang Si's true face at the reception banquet that night. She has both the gentleness of a Suzhou girl and the European fashion style, and she wears a western dress with a special charm.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, do you still remember me?" Fourth Miss Jiang looked at Zhang Xueliang with a sweet smile, with a little shyness in her eyes.

Zhang Xueliang saw Miss Jiang Si's eyes light up, but he couldn't remember it, so he could only ask, "Who is this lady?"

Jiang Lufu introduced: "This is the little lady Yun, who had dinner with Hanshuai three years ago."

"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Jiang, hello, hello!" Zhang Xueliang actually had no impression at all. Three years ago, Jiang Shiyun was only 13 years old, a little girl, but now she has grown up like a flower, completely different.

Zhou Hexuan watched it funny, Zhang Xueliang and "four" are really destined, there used to be Miss Zhao Si, Miss Zhu Si, and now there is Miss Jiang Si.

Miss Jiang Si has been secretly in love with Zhang Xueliang since she was 13 years old. At this time, she is very moved when she sees her again, and she is all focused on Zhang Xueliang, and she directly ignores Zhou Hexuan, a great scholar.

It wasn't until someone introduced that Miss Jiang Si came back to her senses, shook hands with Zhou Hexuan excitedly and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I like your works very much, especially those poems and novels you wrote."

"Thanks to the wrong love." Zhou Hexuan smiled.

The protagonist of today's dinner was Zhang Xueliang, Zhou Hexuan deliberately kept a low profile and ate food in silence. But he obviously cannot be ignored. Diplomats such as Gu Weijun, Jiang Lufu, and Shanghai local officials such as Zhang Qun took turns to toasting, and they had already drank more than ten glasses before they knew it.

Zhang Xueliang is comprehensive and can chat enthusiastically with anyone. But occasionally he deliberately talked about topics that young people like to attract Miss Jiang's attention. Before the meal was finished, the two were already flirting with each other.

In the next few days, Zhang Qun arranged a program every day, either hosting a banquet or holding a dance, inviting all the big names in Shanghai. Even Du Yuesheng, a big boss of the youth gang, is very familiar with Zhang Xueliang.

And whenever Zhang Xueliang appeared, Miss Jiang Si would definitely be there, and the two often whispered in English, which seemed a bit like you and me.

The scandal between Zhang Xueliang and Miss Jiang Si spread all over Shanghai in an instant, and Miss Jiang Si also became a hot socialite in Shanghai because of her frequent attendance at balls.

It's just that Miss Jiang Si is different from Miss Zhao Si. She happily went to Beiping to visit Zhang Xueliang next spring, only to find out that there was Miss Zhao Si beside him, and she left without saying a word, and did not meet again until more than half a century later, when both of them were in their twilight years.

In the words of Zhang Xueliang in his later years: "Yu Fengzhi is the best wife, Zhao Yidi is the wife in the most difficult situation, and Mrs. Bei (Jiang Shiyun) is the cutest girlfriend."

These are the three most important women in his life, and the others are not ranked.

Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to attend social events with Zhang Xueliang. He preferred to play with literati like Xu Zhimo, without so much scheming and interest entanglement.

When Zhang Xueliang and Miss Jiang Si showed their love, Luo Mingyou brought Ruan Lingyu to meet Zhou Hexuan to discuss the specific matters of co-production of "Goddess".
