The endings of Zhang Zuolin’s eight brothers are as follows:

1. The eldest, Ma Longtan, completely withdrew from the military and political circles. In 1940, Ma Longtan died of illness in Siping at the age of 83.

2. The second oldest Wu Junsheng, Wu Junsheng walked with Zhang Zuolin and died in the Huanggutun Incident in 1928. The train exploded unprepared and no one on the train reacted. Wu Junsheng was sitting next to Zhang Zuolin.

3. The third oldest Tang Yulin, Tang Yulin continued to sit in Rehe and held military power. He expressed his full support for Zhang Xueliang as the commander of the three eastern provinces. At that time, many people elected Zhang Zuoxiang. Only under the strong opposition of Yu Lin and Zhang Zuoxiang did Zhang Xueliang succeed in becoming commander-in-chief.

4. The fourth child, Feng Delin, made a lot of money before and finally died in Beizhen at the age of 59.

5. Zhang Jinghui, the fifth child, actually became a traitor and became the Prime Minister of the Puppet Manchukuo. Zhang Jinghui was inconsistent in his life, but his ending was better than that of Feng Delin. He was a typical wallflower.

6. Sun Liechen, the sixth brother, died before Zhang Zuolin. Among the brothers, Sun Liechen was the only one who was both civil and military. He was experienced in many battles and was also a good official in the officialdom. In the end, he became ill due to overwork and died of illness in Fengtian in 1924 at the age of 52.

7. The eighth eldest son, Zhang Zuoxiang, the relationship between Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin went beyond being sworn brothers. When Zhang Zuolin was still alive, he would usually ask Zhang Zuoxiang to do whatever matters at home, big or small. Therefore, Zhang Zuoxiang also learned many ways to engage in politics.
