Features: This book reveals, for the first time with authentic hand, the legendary experiences of Yu Fengzhi, Zhang Xueliang's first wife, in the United States over fifty years: the torment of cancer, the blow of losing her beloved child, financial hardship, and the breakdown of her marriage to Zhang Xueliang. Amidst her suffering from terminal illness, far from her loved ones, and struggling with a language barrier in a foreign land, this talented woman from the Northeast of China fiercely fought against fate and ultimately became a stock market expert and real estate industry elite that American tycoons couldn’t help but take notice of. Through Yu Fengzhi's nearly-century-long life journey, the book also unravels many historical mysteries: the inner story of Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek's sworn brotherhood, the true reasons behind Zhang Xueliang's long-term house arrest, the mysterious interactions between Yu Fengzhi and the three Soong sisters, the struggles between Soong Chia-wen, Kong Xiangxi, Sun Ke, and Chiang Kai-shek, and the life-and-death bond between Yu Fengzhi and Zhang Xueliang, among others. The book offers unexpected answers to all these questions. At the same time, many little-known secrets of American politics and diplomacy from that time also allow readers to gain a deeper understanding of true American society and history.
