Century Has Passed —— Background Information of Zhang Xueliang

Seven years ago, Mr. Guo Guanying visited Zhang Xueliang at his residence in Taibei, and visited him at home three times, each time for two and a half hours. The fourth time was a two-hour interview at the top floor of World Trade Center in Taiwan Province Province. Then I went to the mainland to find the place names involved in Mr. Zhang's dictation one by one, which lasted for 40 days; Then I went back to Taiwan Province Province to sort out, edit and elaborately produce four episodes of 4×53-minute documentary A Section of the Century, namely, Baishan Blackwater, National Disaster and Family Enemy, Xi Incident and Real Freedom. It should have been broadcast immediately after the production of 1993. Why did it take seven years?

"This is really a long story." Mr Guo Guanying began to speak. It turned out that the creativity, promotion and production of this program all came from Mr. Guo, but the big production cost (about 4.8 million Taiwan dollars) was donated by his production partner to a caring person, so she was fully responsible for broadcasting. Wang Nianci always thought that movies should wait until Zhang Xueliang was broadcast a hundred years later to be more valuable; For Wang Nianci's "stubbornness", Guo Guanying was helpless. In addition, Zhang Xueliang later listened to rumors and mistakenly thought that George W. Guo Zi would make huge profits with this film, so Guo Guanying was disheartened and lost the pride of broadcasting this program. After Guo Hou went abroad for many years, the matter ran aground. But I'm always worried. I think I should explain something to that donor. Donors don't care about being rewarded, but the exclusive news they have worked so hard and negotiated is so precious, why should they put it aside? This idea also led to the misunderstanding between Mr. Guo and Zhang Xueliang for the first time. This happened before the filming of Century Passage. Japanese NHK reporters in Taiwan found Guo Guanying through acquaintances, knowing that he had a way to find Zhang Xueliang, and offered to visit Zhang Xueliang. However, Guo Guanying knew Jong was silent, and he was even more unwilling to be interviewed by the media. Instead, he took a try. Who knew Jong had readily agreed to an interview with NHK, and he didn't know what his old man was doing that day?

If you can be interviewed by Japanese media, why can't you be interviewed by United Daily News and China TV? Guo made this request to Zhang Xueliang, thinking that since he has such high interview value, why should he take advantage of the Japanese in vain? They should be charged the normal copyright tax. Unexpectedly, a journey broke out halfway. Taiwan Province NHK invited a local province in Taiwan Province to sow discord and told Zhang Xueliang's niece to ask for money everywhere under the banner of the Zhang family. The result was unrecognizable in Zhang Xueliang's ear. The old man was naturally unhappy. Once he had an argument with Guo, which made him sigh.

I've been waiting for the opportunity for the old wine to get out of the cellar. Finally, in 2000, Zhang Xueliang really celebrated his centenary birthday. It will be bad to delay the broadcast again. It happened that Wang Nianci also made a deal with TVBS. Finally, on the evening of June 5th, Century 1 met the audience in Taiwan Province Province. After the broadcast, the response was enthusiastic, and then Phoenix Satellite TV broadcasted it to Pan Asia via satellite in Hong Kong in early July, which made this bottle of wine preserved for seven years mellow.

Legends rumbling on and off the screen

Friends who have seen the documentary A Passage to the Century must remember Wang. Without Wang, you wouldn't know Zhang Xueliang.

Who is the king? He is the son of Wang Xinheng, an official sent to Xi by the Kuomintang Military Bureau. He arrived in Xi 'an a day or two before the Xi Incident broke out, but he had a close friendship with Zhang Xueliang in private. After arriving in Taiwan Province Province, the two families often walked around, and Zhang Xueliang also liked Wang Xinheng's son Wang.

Wang was killed in a fire in Taipei. But just before his death, with Zhang Xueliang, Guo Guanying, Sun Yun? , Liang,,, Zhang, and others had a dinner on the top floor of Taipei World Trade Center, which was arranged in the name of a fake northeast fellow villager. That day, Jong Tan Xing was tall and talked about his views on Chiang Kai-shek. In fact, his evaluation of Chiang Kai-shek is not high; The book also tells how to know Zhao Si, divination and killing Yang Yuting, and the "February 28th Incident". Most of these contents can be seen in the documentary "Journey to the Century", but some contents were kept by Guo Guanying and not put into the film. For example, when Jong talked about Chiang Kai-shek, there was a saying: "Wang Xinheng once told me that Mr. Jiang doesn't need talents, but he loves to use slaves." When Wang Yi heard this, he immediately whispered in Guo Guanying's ear, "He said he was the only one. What did you make my father do? " Say two people smile at one another.

During the dinner, without Miss Zhao Si's company, Zhang Xueliang became more relaxed. Suddenly he joked with Guo Guanying, "Little Guo Zi, if one day we have no money to spend, I will tell you my erotic history when I was young. When you finish writing, sell it, and then we will have money to spend. " Everyone laughed. After a while, he joked, "I can't tell little Guo Zi. Maybe he really sold it. " Guo Guanying went on to say, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I have sold it." Laughter during the dinner was the most successful interview.

What makes Guo Guanying regret most is that the dialogue about the Long March was deleted in the post-production. Among them, Zhang Xueliang talked about the great shock of the Long March to China, and once admonished his ministers: "We are all soldiers. Who can lead an army like this? Don't you have it all? Why can they (the Red Army) do it? " Only this paragraph appeared in the program, and then Zhang Xueliang's self-answer part was cut off. Zhang Xueliang said: "That's because they (the Red Army) really have his ideas and opinions, and they are consistent. And we just make a living. " This passage by Zhang Xueliang just explains why the Northern Expedition was successful at the beginning and why the Red Army won the final victory.

Therefore, after the change of flag in Northeast China, in order to strengthen the party spirit education of officers and men, Zhang Xueliang once suggested that Northeastern University offer the ideological education course of the Three People's Principles. However, the teaching staff is weak, and only some officers from the Kuomintang army can be selected as teachers. At that time, Ning Encheng, acting president of Northeastern University, opposed the opening of this course. He thought that there was a lack of decent teachers, and most of those officers were ignorant. At that time, there were many jokes. Unfortunately, Mr. Ning Encheng's paragraph was also cut out.

"On the Songhua River" sounded a childlike voice.

Mr. Guo Guanying has always advocated that Zhang Xueliang go back to the Northeast to have a look. Zhang Xueliang once said to him personally, "I want to go back to the Northeast to have a look." According to Li Zhenyuan, the last captain of the special service team to protect Zhang Xueliang, it turned out that in 1993, Jong was going to Hong Kong to attend the wedding of He Shili's grandson and returned to the northeast. Later, due to the death of Mrs. He Shili, the grandson's wedding was held in the United States, so we had to give up. According to Jong's explanation, he was afraid to go home and was too excited. Besides, Miss Zhao Si often advised him that he had become a Christian and everything was all right.

However, in order to make the whole documentary have a wonderful ending, and to arouse Zhong's patriotism and homesickness again, Guo Guanying was ingenious and specially asked his children (one 12 years old and one 10 years old) to learn to sing Song on the Songhua River. This song is difficult to sing, but all the children feel obligated. On the last day of interviewing Jong, I came to Zhangjia with my wife and children and a big pot of flowers. On that day, Zhong wrote the words "Love your neighbor as yourself" for the children in Guo Guanying. The children sang the song "On the Songhua River" around Zhang Lao. Jong was very excited and sang the melody of "Mm-hmm". This may be the first time that Jong has heard this song completely since he was confined, and it is beating the eardrum of an old man who was deaf by war drums in China with a childish voice, perhaps beating the old man.

It turned out that Guo Guanying was going to dub "On the Songhua River" with naive children's voices at the beginning and the end, but in the end, the production company switched to professional baritone singing, which was better? Say what you want to say. Unfortunately, a very important sentence has been deleted. It would be great if it was the end of the program. Zhang Xueliang said, "Young man, don't be selfish. You don't know your country until you know the troubles of foreign countries. You can exist because of your country. Look at the conquered people, there is no country so pitiful. See how powerful people in powerful countries are. Those who want to strengthen the country will benefit from it and do their best. "

Throughout the interview, Zhang Xueliang always said that Zhou Enlai was the person he admired most, and Zhou Enlai always wanted to rescue him, and he never forgot it until his death. In the 1950s, he also sent a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, asking him not to kill Zhang. "Otherwise, we won't meet again.". At the same time, he has been protecting Zhang, so Zhang has never suffered Yang's misfortune. In fact, since Jiang Jingguo's death, Zhang Xueliang has been completely free. He left Taiwan Province to live in Hawaii, and he didn't want the "approval" from the Taiwan Province provincial authorities. Guo Guanying admits that Zheng Dashi is actually a freewheeling person, and he doesn't think too much. This is his bad point, so outsiders should stop making a political June day for Zheng Dashi according to their own subjective imagination. (Author: Wang Mingqing/transferred from Xinmin Weekly)

A hundred years' record of purchasing and broadcasting-biography of Zhang Xueliang
