2001年10月14日,世纪老人、伟大的爱国者张学良将军因病在美国檀香山逝世,享年101岁。他和杨虎城将军在1936年发动的“西安事变”,为实现全民族抗战作出了历史性贡献,成为中华民族的千古功臣。张学良曾经4次到达南京,与古城南京结下了不解之缘,他的最后一次南京之行,是因“西安事变”而在此受到军法会审,并从此身陷囹圄,造成了著名冤案。 On October 14, 2001, General Chang Hsueh-liang, a centenarian and great patriot, died at the age of 101 in Honolulu, the United States. The “Xi’an Incident” he and General Yang Hucheng launched in 1936 made a historic contribution to the realization of the entire nation’s war of resistance and became the hero of the Chinese nation. Chang Hsueh-liang had arrived in Nanjing four times and had an indissoluble bond with the ancient city of Nanjing. His last trip to Nanjing was tried by the military and law courts here and was ensnared by the “Xi’an Incident” and resulted in a famous injustice.
