Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang are only one word apart. Why are their tombs so different?

Zhang Zuolin once built himself a high-standard mausoleum, which was said to be quite regal, but in the end he didn't live in it. Why?

Because Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese, his body was sent to his most valued wife, Mrs. Shou. As soon as Mrs. Shou wiped her tears and watched him die, the Japanese wife came to inquire about the truth, so Mrs. Shou dressed up again and chatted with her with a big smile to let the Japanese know that Zhang Zuolin was not dead. After all, with Zhang Zuolin around, Japan would not be so courageous.

After Zhang Zuolin's death, his coffin was not buried for the time being, so Zhang Xueliang asked someone to continue to look for a treasure trove of feng shui and then build a mausoleum, because it was not finished at that time. The place that Zhang Xueliang was looking for was in the northeast of Fushun, which was later the "Marshal Forest".

It is reported that Marshal Lin is an empty tomb, which means that Zhang Zuolin was not buried here until 1937, nine years after Zhang Zuolin's death, and he was buried in a small village in Shishan Town, Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, which was very humble and shabby. Now it is overgrown with weeds.

Compared with Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang is much better off. He has to live a long life, but the only regret is that he was not free before his death. Zhang Xueliang found himself a cemetery in Hawaii early, where he would be buried with his beloved woman.

It is said that the cemetery was bought from a woman in Europe, and the scenery was particularly good. Compared with the two of them, Zhang Zuolin felt rather bleak.
