Feng Yuxiang / 冯玉祥

Feng Yuxiang appears in 41.施剑翘复仇案：超越哈贝马斯的情与法 as the political intermediary who, according to the episode’s reading of his diary, worked to secure Shi Jianqiao / 施剑翘’s pardon. The source says Feng described persuading Chiang Kai-shek / 蒋介石 to grant clemency after the courts had upheld a prison sentence.

The episode also treats Feng’s intervention as image work. His old friendship with Shi Jianqiao’s uncle Shi Congyun and their shared Luanzhou-uprising background gave him a personal bridge to the case, while support for Shi Jianqiao helped strengthen his public persona as a patriotic anti-Japanese figure. The source’s note about Feng’s anti-Buddhist background is presented as a conjectural factor, not a settled cause.

Key Claims

• Feng’s role shows that the case did not end in court; military-political networks affected the outcome.
• His intervention connected private revenge, revolutionary memory, patriotic reputation, and executive pardon.
• The episode treats his motives as partly political and partly personal, while keeping some claims speculative.

Connections

• Shi Jianqiao / 施剑翘 - defendant whose pardon Feng supported.
• Chiang Kai-shek / 蒋介石 - leader Feng reportedly persuaded.
• Nationalist Government / 国民政府 and Pardon As State Power - institutional setting for the pardon.
• Gendered Nationalist Heroism - public image branch that made Shi Jianqiao useful to patriotic mobilization.
