Huaqing Hot Spring in Xi’an is famous for two unusual events , one is about Yang yuhuan’s love story  . the other is about Jiang Jieshi’s capture event in 12 Dec, 1936 when Jiang was in power in Nanjing. i would like to talk about the capture event after I visited the scene.

 Jiang stayed in the Wu Jian Ting (五间厅) of Huaqing Hot Spring in those days . the Wu Jian Ting is at the back of the scene .the name Wu Jian Ting  means there are five rooms in line . Jiang’s bedroom is at the west side while his guarder’s room is at the end .the room is about 25 square meters . there are some furniture like desk , chairs , bed , cabinet and other simple things in the room .

 i don’t know if Jiang used these furniture really . but I saw  many  holes on the brick wall and the broken window in Wu Jian Ting . they say these are gun holes left by Zhang xieliang’s soldiers when they  captured Jiang at about  5 AM that day .Jiang climbed up to the hill of Li mountains when he heard the gun shot .  I don’t know how he finished the run within 20 minutes while others need 30 minutes to do that  in other time . but it seems that tells us human being can achieve great surprising succeed at extremes moment especially for escaper.

 I walked along the road from the front of Wu Jian Ting toward the way to Bing Jian Ting (兵谏亭) . I tried my best to imagine what dangerous event it was happening here .did Jiang thought his military career would come to end or it was the end of his world? I am convinced he thought he would escape , for he knew  being a military means life was in danger all the time . this was one of the games he played often in the past . for the common people , they might lock of the strength to walk .but  Jiang ran and climbed to the hill in short time though he was captured at Bing Jian Ting at the end .

 They say that Zhang xieliang ‘s father was killed by Japanese military . Zhang xieliang ‘s hometown and other places in mainland were  invaded by the Japanese military .Zhang xieliang persuaded Jiang Jieshi into fighting the invader Japanese military .there were so many ordinary people’s lives were taken by the war .but , Jiang insisted on destroying his opposition first . Zhang xieliang had to put Jiang  under house arrested till he and his team agreed to fight the chinese people ‘s collective enemy .

The day Jiang Jieshi insisted on destroying his opposition instead of fighting the  collective enemy ,The day Jiang lost many chinese’s trustand support.the invasion gave his opposition opportunity of earning their people’s heart.Jiang's government corruption made his opposition turned the tables.

 I got some stories about Jiang Jieshi via reading books or browsing  internet. it is a mission impossible  for me to check out  the truth of history , for there are so many people love Jiang Jieshi while the otheres hate him . they would describe him as a hero if they loved him . the other would like to say he was a killer .both of them might make up some stories on purpose or not on purpose.it become another edition while it was read by different people with various life experiences.the editions in public are toward the leading party’s benefit .
