Features: At the beginning of the 20th century, Hong Kong's Phoenix TV launched a special program commemorating General Zhang Xueliang. In the program, Zhang Xueliang recounted his family history: Before the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, Dongbei Province, known as the "land of dragon's rise" by Qing rulers, was forbidden from being developed and even Han people were not allowed to enter. Later, the ban was relaxed, and his ancestors moved from Da Cheng in Hebei Province to Haicheng County in Liaoning Province, exchanging one silver coin for the right to "a land as far as an arrow can reach" (the land within the range of an arrow shot). Since then, the family prospered in the vast and densely populated Northeast.
