Taiwan Reunification Left Column Biography - 3| Wu Sihan in Search of the Motherland 3,000 Miles (1924-1950)

Lambo Continent

On October 25, 1945, Taiwan was returned to China. For seven consecutive days from December 19, the Japanese edition of Taiwan Xinsheng Bao carried Wu Sihan's < Simu Motherland Is Not Far Away -- A > of the Return of a Young Man from Taiwan. Through this report, the author reported that in order to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he did not hesitate to give up his studies at the Medical Department of the Imperial University of Kyoto, and he was alone involved in danger, and the process of finding the motherland was difficult and tortuous, thus touching countless readers. Wu Sihan's experience of "searching for three thousand miles of the motherland" caused a sensation and immediately became a legend of the times among the young intellectuals of the same generation.

First, return to our motherland!

Wu Sihan, whose original name was Harmony, was born in Baihe Street, Xinying County, Tainan Hall, Japan. His father, Wu Yun, was a poor man, who was eager to learn since childhood, graduated from the one-year course of Tainan Normal School through work-study, was assigned to serve as a quasi-teacher of the Second Grade of Baihe Public School, married Lin Xiu, an illiterate woman from a local peasant family, and had eight children, four boys and four girls. The teachers had a meager income, a large index finger, and a poor life, so they resigned from their teaching positions and successively engaged in insurance, agency stores, rice sales and other industries. It was not until 1931, when the eldest boy was seven years old, that he passed the pharmacy license examination, borrowed five hundred yuan from the credit portfolio, and opened the Yunhe Han Pharmacy, and the economic situation gradually improved. Because of this, Wu And several other smaller children were cultivated by higher education.

Wu Reconcile has been healthy and intelligent since childhood, and he is quiet and well-behaved, with good rules, never quarreling with his younger siblings, and rarely being scolded by adults. But he had a strong sense of justice, was stubborn in choosing good, and often retorted with Japanese mentors and was severely punished, never giving in. Nevertheless, from the first grade to the sixth grade, his academic performance was the first in the school, and when he graduated, he received the Kita-Shirakawa Palace Award and was admitted to Tainan State Tainan No. 2 Middle School. In the same year, Japanese imperialism launched an invasion of China's Lugou Bridge Incident. Taiwan's colonial authorities also stepped up their efforts to carry out the so-called "imperial democratization campaign" against colonial Taiwan. He thus began his secondary school career in an era when the clouds of war were intertwined with the strong control of the imperial consciousness.

Wu Tong is usually silent, not in the limelight, very stable in doing things, no matter how noisy the dormitory is, still quietly reading. So the results are very good, almost all within the top five. However, he has a strong sense of nationality, always expressing dissatisfaction directly to japanese teachers on behalf of his classmates, and often fights with arrogant Japanese students, so his performance is not good, and he cannot be the class leader. Nevertheless, in April 1941, after completing his fourth grade, he crossed the level and was admitted to the 17th Higher Science and Science Class B of Taipei Higher Education College. That year, only 40 students were admitted to the province, of which 30 were Japanese and only 10 were Taken by Taiwanese. The acceptance rate can be said to be 1000:1. He was the only one in The South No. 2 Middle School (including fresh graduates). He was therefore regarded as a "genius of geniuses".

Since his time in college, Wu Huihe, a colonial child who grew up under the so-called "promotion of imperial consciousness", has made a voluntary decision: "After graduating from university, returning to the motherland as a technician is the only purpose." During this period, the Japanese colonial authorities forced Taiwanese to change their Japanese names through the revision of hukou rules and various threats and inducements. By June 1943, as many as 100,000 Taiwanese had changed their Japanese names. Wu Yun was forced to change because of the "permission" restrictions on doing business, but was resolutely opposed by his eldest son Wu Huan.

In October 1943, Wu Huanhe crossed the ranks and entered the Imperial Medical Department of Kyoto. At this time, Japan was in a historical period in which supranationalists and military fascists colluded with each other to create a "dark abyss" with the "Eight Hongs and One Universe" and the "National System" and "National System". The Empire of Japan began to recruit its own student soldiers (apprentices). Many young Japanese who were in the midst of spiritual formation, either believing in "jihad" or being skeptical, were sent to various battlefields. On November 30, students from colonial Taiwan and Korea were also forcibly recruited to the front as cannon fodder. Wu Huehe was afraid that before graduating from university, he would be forcibly recruited to the front line in the name of acting as a "Japanese military doctor", so that not only would he not be able to fulfill his wish to return to China, but he might also be forced to act as a Japanese soldier and fight the soldiers of the motherland at gunpoint on the front line. And this situation is absolutely impermissible to oneself. He then actively sought opportunities to study close to the motherland, hoping to find a way to return to the motherland and contribute to the War of Resistance.

In January 1944, Wu Reconciled's plan to return to China was finally implemented with the assistance of Dai Zhenben, an international student from the Civil Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering from the mainland. Dai Zhenben and Wu Huanhe immediately became acquainted with each other in the school's equestrian department, and moved to live together, living together, discussing the current situation, introducing him to the domestic situation and teaching him to speak Beijing dialect. He also suggested that Wu Reconcile infiltrate the occupied areas with him when he returned to his hometown during his spring break, and then try to break through the front line and go deep into the interior. Wu Huanhe was overjoyed, and immediately decided to give up his studies, seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and follow Dai Zhenben back to China. After discussion, they decided: Wu Huihe officially went through the formalities for going abroad in the name of transferring to Peking University. Wu Immediately wrote to his father Yu Ming about his transfer to Peking University, and at the same time sent the documents needed to apply for school to Dai Zhenqian, the brother of Dai Zhenben, who was doing research at Beijing Normal University. Half a month later, Wu received a reply from his father who was adamantly opposed to his transfer plan. He wrote another letter asking his father to help him sign the transfer consent form anyway. But until the end of February, he did not hear back from his father. The plan to return to China in the name of a transfer could not be implemented. He discussed with Dai Zhenben repeatedly, and finally decided to take advantage of Dai Zhenben's spring break to return to his hometown and relatives in the province to smuggle into China. Later, in Tokyo, Dai Zhenben introduced Wu Hui and his wish to return to China to Wu Jizhong, a high school student from Xinmin County in Fengtian [Shenyang], who was about to return to China. Wu Jizhong not only cheerfully agreed to help, but also expressed his intention to go to Chongqing with him. After a long night of long talk, the three of them decided that since Wu Tonghe's father had just set up a branch in Dalian last year, Wu Jizhong arrived in Dalian and immediately sent a telegram to Wu Tonghe in the name of his family that "his father was critically ill" in the name of his family. Wu Huihe passed the customs in the name of visiting his father's illness, first went to the Xinmin Wu family, and waited for Dai Zhenben to return from spring break, and then the three of them broke into Shanhaiguan together.

The plan was set, and Wu Huanhe immediately began to prepare for the return trip. Considering that the long journey to Chongqing was bound to face economic problems first, he decided to rely on the profits from the drug trade to maintain basic living expenses. He immediately borrowed money from some friends, entrusted seniors in Tokyo and Osaka to buy expensive medicines such as quinine, and searched for various German medicines just sent from Kobe at pharmacies on the streets of Kyoto. In total, I bought nearly a thousand yuan of medicines. Soon, Wu Jizhong sent a telegram from Dalian saying that "my father was critically ill and returned quickly." Wu Immediately went to the office of the Imperial University in Kyoto, reported the situation at home, and obtained a certificate of return to visit relatives issued by the university authorities, and then without delay, finally managed to buy a hard-to-find train ticket to Shimonoseki on April 4.

Second, look for the motherland for three thousand miles

April 5. Wu Sihan, dressed in a clean school uniform and carrying a suitcase containing medicines, boarded the train from Kyoto to Xiaguan. The train sped forward. He looked at the scenery outside the window and thought that he was about to actually throw himself into the motherland's anti-war contingent, and his heart was immediately filled with an inexplicable feeling, and the tears flowed uncontrollably. After nightfall, the train finally arrived at Shimonoseki.

The next morning, Wu Sihan boarded a ferry after passing the interrogation, and arrived safely at busan Port in the evening. Successfully passed the first hurdle. late at night. He boarded a night train that was speeding across the Korean Peninsula. The sky gradually brightened and darkened as the train traveled north. At night, the train finally crossed the iron bridge over the Yalu River and arrived at Andong [Dandong] in Manchuria. He got off the train, passed the immigration check, walked to the waiting room, sat on a bench, and waited for the train to Shenyang. Listening to the passengers around him speaking the northeastern dialect that he had never heard or heard before, he excitedly told himself: I have finally returned to my motherland. The day was April 7, 1944.

Wu Sihan slept on the train to Fengtian and then woke up as the morning light entered the carriage. The train gradually slowed down and pulled into Fengtian Station. Stepping down the platform, he saw a group of travelers who looked like refugees, dressed in dirt-stained, heavy cotton robes, lined up, and were about to walk out of the station exit. Looking at the northern compatriots who had never seen before, although they were frighteningly dirty, they looked like very strong northern compatriots, and his heart could not help but think slightly puzzled: "Are they still our Taiwanese people the real Han nationality?" There is still some time to go before the westbound train from Xinmin County. So he looked around the nearby street. In the square, the strong north wind blew sand and dust, and hundreds of coolies dressed as refugees stood, sat, or lay down, crowded. Looking at the large group of compatriots who had been persecuted by Japanese imperialism, he could not help but fall into heavy contemplation, and suddenly remembered a passage in which the Japanese Takada Homa described the Han nation: "The reason why the Han nation has been able to maintain its culture for five thousand years and not be ruled by other nationalities is that the people's living standards are low. Because the higher the standard of living, the less stamina people are; conversely, the lower the more stoic. China's perseverance lies in the fact that the people in the lower classes make up the majority..." He saw that there were many Japanese shops on the streets that looked no different from the Japanese mainland. Through the public construction he saw around him, he could see that in order to ensure that the Japanese imperialists were ambitious to run this occupied zone in order to ensure that the Northeast, which could be said to be the "lifeline" of Japan both nationally and economically, was being held.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Sihan got off another train at Xinmin Station, a county town west of Shenyang. The strong sand and dust blew in with the gusts of wind, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes. The streetscape is like an exotic country. He braved the wind and sand flying in the sky, and along the way he studied the Beijing dialect that he had recently learned, and finally before dark, he found Wu Jizhong's home and ate sorghum rice for the first time. However, Wu Jizhong told him that he could not go to Beijing together because of his family's opposition. Things have come to this point, and he doesn't have much to say. Since this was the case, there was no need for him to wait for Dai Zhenben here.

Two days later, Wu Sihan wore Wu Jizhong's student uniform at Tokyo No. 1 High School, took his high certificate, bid farewell to the Wu family, who had let him sleep on Ondol for two nights, and walked to Xinmin Railway Station accompanied by Wu Jizhong to catch a train to Beijing. At midnight, the train arrived at Shanhaiguan. He waited a long time for the money to be exchanged. Walking back to his seat, a Chinese inspector was already standing there waiting to check his suitcase. Because one student had brought so many medicines, he was taken to the customs office for further identification and return. He handed Wu Jizhong's documents to the inspector. The inspector then angrily pressed, "Since you are Chinese, why don't you speak Chinese?" He still uses Japanese nonsense to say that he is a Fujianese and has been to Japan since he was a child, so he cannot speak Chinese. After some interrogation, all the drugs were confiscated. With only two hundred yuan left on him, he had to wait in the waiting room for the next train to run the next morning. The night was already deep. Several railway policemen with guns were constantly patrolling back and forth in the waiting room. Here and there sat many men and women dressed in dirty robes who looked like refugees; one of them, with his belly exposed, was lying on his back on the ground, seemingly intolerant of the cold and moaning as he spat out white foam. The people around them fell asleep indifferently. Having never seen such a tragic scene before, he was sad to think of his compatriots living such a difficult life under the ravages of the Japanese Kou, and a wave of anger could not help but rush into his heart. Because of witnessing the tragic situation of the refugees, coupled with the financial difficulties he would face immediately after losing the batch of medicines, this night, he was shrouded in an uneasy mood and could not sleep.

In the early morning of April 11, Wu Sihan took the first train from Shanhaiguan Station, and finally arrived at Beijing Station after noon. He called a rickshaw in the square in front of the station full of refugees and headed straight for Beijing Normal University. Because of the language barrier, he tossed and turned at the school gate for half a day, and finally spent the night in Dai Zhenqian's dormitory. The next day, Dai Zhenqian went out early in the morning to help him inquire about the way to Chongqing. He was idle, so he wandered around the streets with different food and clothing customs and languages from Taiwan, and then visited Beihai, Zhongnanhai and Central Park, which made him feel that his motherland was rich. In the evening, Dai Zhenqian suggested that Wu Sihan temporarily go to Qinhuangdao to live in his hometown for a while, and wait for Dai Zhenben to return, and then make plans based on the fact that the road to Chongqing did not have any clue, that the Japanese gendarmes often go to the student dormitories for inspections, and that their economic conditions were not allowed. The next evening, Wu Sihan and Dai Zhenqian took a train to Qinhuangdao and temporarily stayed at the Dai family as a "native of Zhangzhou, Fujian".

In early May, Wu Sihan and Dai Zhenben finally reunited at the Dai family in Qinhuangdao. At this time, the southern section of the Pinghan railway line completely fell into the hands of the Japanese army. Their westward journey to Chongqing was also blocked, and they had to wait for the opportunity to continue. Soon, Dai Zhenben found a job at Beijing China Airlines, returned to Beijing first, and then arranged for Wu Sihan to return to Beijing and stay at the home of a friend surnamed Li. Wu Sihan then seized the time and worked hard to learn Mandarin and prepare for his future trip to Chongqing. During this period, he noticed that there were more Japanese in Beijing than before, and that they showed an ignorant sense of arrogance and superiority everywhere, running rampant on the streets, bullying their compatriots at home, and even the Chinese police of the puppet government were beaten. He believes that if there is no main body of the War of Resistance, North China will become a second Taiwan, and even all of China will suffer the same fate! When I think of this, I can't help but feel a shudder all over my body. Because of this, he was even more determined to go to Chongqing to participate in the War of Resistance.

In Beijing, although Wu Sihan lived the simplest and most frugal material life, he also faced the dilemma of not being able to survive without economic income. In mid-June, he had to be introduced by a friend surnamed Li and go to a company in the Japanese concession in Tianjin as a secretary as a Japanese. Because his initial ambition to return to the motherland to participate in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was not realized, he became a businessman, and it was unpredictable when the road to the interior would be open, so he often looked at the southwest sky and sighed. Just when he was in a difficult mood, Dai Zhen originally believed that he had transferred to the Tangshan Kailuan Mineral Bureau with a higher salary as a technician, but on the grounds of illness, he applied for a suspension of pay from the original company, and the dormitory was still retained. Because he had a little spare money, he suggested that Instead of spending time in Tianjin, he should first return to Beijing, take a school, and continue to find a way to Chongqing while studying.

Wu Sihan then returned to Beijing and was admitted to the School of Engineering of Peking University with excellent results. He originally wanted to live in the student dormitory, but he heard that the Japanese special high surveillance is tight, and students are often arrested; for safety considerations, he dismissed the idea of living on campus, continued to live in Dai Zhenben's original dormitory, and entrusted local friends to forge a residence permit and complete the identity card and student card in preparation for inspection. Moreover, peking university under the occupation of the Japanese army has a mute ideological atmosphere, and there is no longer the lively freedom of the early years. Students live the same dual life as colonial Taiwan. He could not see the self-confidence radiating from the students, nor did he feel that they had a strong sense of nationality. Because of this, coupled with financial difficulties and the inability to buy textbooks and stationery, he simply did not go to school. During this period, in order to learn Mandarin, as long as he had some money on hand, he would go to the movies. Gradually, his Mandarin also improved more than when he first arrived in Beijing. However, he still thought bitterly all the time: When will he reach the central region and reach the core of the motherland?

In early November, Wu Sihan read a message in a Japanese newspaper: Taiwan has begun to implement a conscription system, and men of the right age must register before the end of the month. He thought that in this way, the Japanese police would thoroughly track down his whereabouts; if he had stayed in North China, sooner or later he would have been discovered. After thinking about it, he confessed to Dai Zhenben, who had come to Beijing from Tangshan: "If the road to Chongqing is blocked, I have to enter the Eighth Route Army guerrilla zone not far from the railway line." I think that since they are also anti-war organizations, instead of staying in Beijing and being arrested by the Japanese army, it is better to join the Communist Red Army." Dai Zhenben disagreed with his idea and insisted on going to Chongqing according to the original plan. After a long conversation, Dai Zhenben finally convinced him. They decided to go to Chongqing by any means. Dai Zhenben then continued to inquire about the way to Chongqing. Later, they decided to divide the troops into two routes and proceed separately: Dai Zhenben went to the Henan front to explore the way on the 17th. On the 19th, Wu Sihan went to Weixian County, Shandong Province, to find a way through Dai Zhenqian, who was already teaching at a high school set up by the Central Army guerrillas in Wangjiazhuang. It was early winter and the wind was chilling. The school borrowed a private house as a classroom, although it was very simple, but the anti-Japanese atmosphere was strong. A flag-raising ceremony takes place every morning. Wu Sihan watched the national flag rising in the air and fluttered with the wind; listened to the students read out the program of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and sing songs to overthrow Japanese imperialism; and his mood was also integrated into the situation of the anti-Japanese resistance. On December 3, he received a letter from Dai Zhen informing him that henan was full of hope and asking him to leave immediately. Early the next morning, with the financial support of Dai Zhenqian, he hired a carriage and braved the cold and bitter wind to weixian station, took the train back to Beijing.

When Wu Sihan returned from the Beijing railway station to Dai's friend's residence, a student in a neighboring room who participated in a patriotic organization immediately warned him: "Not long ago, the Japanese police came here to track down where you were. I heard the concierge say that they would then go to Peking University and your enrollment guarantor to investigate." He then moved to another friend for temporary refuge.

On the morning of December 8, in order to prevent the change of day, he boarded the Pinghan Line train and set off for Henan. The next day, the train arrived in Kaifeng. He immediately followed the instructions in Dai Zhenben's letter and went to the home of his friend surnamed Qiu to inquire about his whereabouts.

Prior to this, the Japanese army had opened the Pinghan Railway through the Battle of Yuzhong, which ended on June 17, controlled the Longhai Railway in Henan, and made this newly occupied area a special zone, prohibiting exchanges with other old occupied areas. Except for military official duties, the Yellow River is closed to navigation. At the same time, the Japanese army set up military and political departments in each county of the special zone, and each sent a Japanese and a Chinese person as a guide, mainly Japanese. The family of a friend surnamed Qiu told Wu Sihan that in order to support his family, Dai Zhenben's friend surnamed Qiu had no choice but to work for the puppet government and serve as an instructor in The County of Wu in the west of Xuchang. Dai Zhenben has gone to Wuxian County to ask him for help in going to the interior, and will return to Kaifeng recently. They asked him to wait at home for Dai Zhenben's return. But after Wu Sihan waited for more than ten days, Dai Zhenben had not yet returned to kaifeng's Qiu family. He judged that Dai Zhenben was unlikely to return for a while, so he decided to go to Wuxian to find him. They then helped him get a travel permit at the Japanese Liaison Department.

On December 21, Wu Sihan arrived at the dock on the north bank of the Yellow River by car, boarded a ferry, traveled west along the river, and arrived in Zhengzhou in the evening. Disembarking, he saw that nearby buildings had been destroyed by air raids. He had heard that American planes would strike the Japanese occupation areas during the day, and all means of transportation could only travel at night or early in the morning. It was not until about eleven o'clock in the evening that he got on the train to Xuchang in the dark. The carriage was packed with Japanese soldiers, as well as several puppet government soldiers and officials. Unfamiliar with life, he was dazed and worried, and could not sleep all night. The train arrived in Xuchang in the early hours of the next day. In the darkness, the Japanese troops slowly got out of the car. He then got out of the car and waited in the waiting room until it was dark before he dared to walk down the street, and encountered the first AIR raid on the US plane in his life. At about six o'clock in the afternoon, he finally got into a truck and left Xuchang.

On the morning of December 24, Wu Sihan finally arrived in WuXian and met Dai Zhenben's friend surnamed Qiu. A friend surnamed Qiu said with some regret that Dai Zhenben had just gone to Xiping in the south of Xuchang to find a friend, and then asked Wu Sihan with concern whether he would first return to Kaifeng with him to visit his relatives. Wu Sihan believed that Wu County was closer to Chongqing than Kaifeng, and he was afraid that the situation would change and delay the progress of the future, so he decided to stay and wait for Dai Zhenben. A friend surnamed Qiu then led him to visit President Wang of the County Maintenance Association and asked him to pay more attention. After Chairman Wang learned about Wu Sihan's background, he didn't say a word and took him in.

During the waiting period for Dai Zhenben, in order to avoid any entanglement with the local Japanese and get into trouble, Wu Sihan stayed in the room all day. Still, the trouble can't be avoided. One day, the newly appointed Japanese instructor of the Ministry of Military Affairs asked him to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and threatened him with a raised eyebrow that he must be a communist and that he would be immediately sent to the gendarmerie to investigate. In order to go to Chongqing, Wu Sihan tried his best to suppress his inner dissatisfaction, bowed his head in grievances and apologized, and finally, finally, he was exempted from the danger of being sent to investigate. Still, the Japanese instructor ordered him to return to Beijing immediately. Fortunately, through the activities of President Wang, the local Japanese army intelligence department immediately went to the maintenance meeting to investigate, and temporarily spared Wu Sihan the fate of being immediately expelled back to Beijing. At this moment, he overheard a road to the National Unification District, so he decided that if he could not wait for Dai Zhenben before leaving, he would leave alone. However, good things happened a lot, and just before he was ready to leave, he caught a cold. Considering the difficulties and obstacles to be faced on the way forward, he could not cope without a healthy body, so he had to stay in Wuxian County to recuperate, while continuing to wait for Dai Zhenben. After more than a week, his cold gradually healed. Dai Zhenben was still not heard. He made up his mind to go to the Nationalist area alone, so he sold his coat as a travel expense. At this moment, Dai Zhenben finally came to YuXian and met with him. Dai Zhenben told Wu Sihan, "Just after you left Kaifeng, I also returned to Kaifeng. Because the information was not clear, I went back to Beijing to understand the situation. In Beijing, I happened to meet three female students who had just graduated from Normal University and promised to take them with me to Chongqing..." However, just before Dai Zhenben and the three female students met, he was ill and immobile. On February 20, 1945, Wu Sihan had to postpone his departure, dai Zhenben went to Kaifeng according to the agreement, took the three female students who had just graduated from the Normal University, and the two boys who were accompanying them, to the Japanese Liaison Department to go through the travel procedures, and then in the evening, they boarded a train and crossed the temporary iron bridge of the Yellow River that had been repaired and completed to Zhengzhou. However, the train derailed seven or eight kilometers away from the seal. They had to shelter from the cold wind and snow at a nearby station. The next morning, the wind and snow stopped temporarily, but the train did not know when it would resume traffic. Wu Sihan then hired an ox cart from a nearby farmer and slowly moved forward in the desolate and cold Henan Plain, and finally arrived in Xuchang. They heard that the Japanese army and the Nationalist army had resumed the war, the Nationalist army had retreated without a fight, and the Japanese army had entered Fangcheng southwest of Xuchang. The five young men and women of Beijing Normal University then retreated and insisted on returning to Beijing. Wu Sihan then went back to WuXian county alone.

When Wu Sihan returned to Wu County, Dai Zhenben's illness had been cured. At this time, the Nationalist army and the Japanese army formed an east-west confrontation between Ye County and Fangcheng in the south of Yu County. Except for Nanye County, which still belongs to the National Unification District, nine out of ten counties have become occupied areas. The Japanese army will launch a second battle in Henan at any time. The next day, Wu Sihan and Dai Zhenben left WuXian county disguised as tobacco merchants and went to Guotong District. Along the way, with their wit, they passed through the interrogation of the puppet army's infantry posts, passed through Ye County, and continued to the south of the lower city. When they arrived at Liu Binhua, the seat of the temporary county government of Nanye County, which they had to pass, the Japanese army launched the Second Battle of Henan. Since the war had begun, it would be impossible to predict whether they would be able to reach the nationalist area in the rear, let alone know what year and month they would be able to reach Chongqing. Despite this, Wu Sihan thought to himself, since the road has come here, even if he is killed, he will never retreat. Sure enough, the official of the motherland he met for the first time, the county magistrate of Nanye County, after some questioning, actually suspected that he was behaving like a Japanese, and ordered that his toes and fingers be examined on the spot. Because of the long-term relationship between clogs, the gap between Wu Sihan's thumb and index finger is the same as that of the Japanese, which is larger than the average Chinese. The county magistrate therefore concluded that he was Japanese. Wu Sihan repeatedly explained the fact that Taiwan was a Japanese colony. The county magistrate remained suspicious and ordered them to be detained. Wu Sihan looked out of the small window at the dark night, and an indescribable emptiness and disappointment of sorrow surged into his heart, and then he couldn't help but cry. Day after day, they remain under house arrest. The guards regarded them as lackeys of the Japanese army and despised them as much as they could. They could only look through the small window of the grass hut to the unreachable south and sigh helplessly. Occasionally, they are detained and subjected to malicious scrutiny again. Because imagination and reality are completely at odds, Wu Sihan's ideal of finding the motherland is almost disillusioned.

At this moment, things miraculously developed dramatically. The county magistrate of Nanye County, who once served the education sector, is obviously not such a barbaric bureaucrat who is incurable. On the one hand, he put Wu Sihan and Dai Zhenben, who were suspected of being "Japanese spies," under house arrest, and on the other hand, he sent people to secretly investigate. When he found out the facts, he immediately released them and kindly advised them that the Japanese had captured Nanyang in the south. The situation was chaotic, bandits were plundering everywhere, the Government was powerless to ban it, and there was anarchy everywhere. You'd better not leave for the time being and wait until the situation stabilizes. After their assessment, they also decided to stay and wait. In order to make up for the previous misunderstanding, the county magistrate also treated them very kindly. While waiting, the opportunity finally came. One day, the county magistrate introduced them to a senator surnamed Xing of the Henan provincial government who inspected the front-line counties, and asked them to follow him with a small group of guards to Zhuyangguan, the seat of the provincial government. So they avoided the south side where the Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting, and went north, along the border of the counties in the Funiu Mountains, crossing one mountain after another, and walking a forced army of three hundred and fifty kilometers, and finally arrived safely at Zhuyang Pass, which was a rear scene. Take a break. With the assistance of the Henan Provincial Government, they boarded a military truck and headed to Xi'an. When they arrived in Xi'an, they took a train to Chengdu. Dai Zhenben went to visit his uncle who lived in the local area. Wu Sihan then took his own bus, and after another ten days, finally arrived in Chongqing, the capital of the War of Resistance, after a year and three months of leaving Kyoto, he had been thinking about it day and night for many years.

In Chongqing, Wu Sihan wrote an article entitled "A Record of Returning to the Motherland" and officially published it under the name of Wu Sihan in the Taiwan Minsheng Bao, the organ newspaper of the Taiwan Revolutionary League, and was valued by Several of Taiwan's anti-Japanese predecessors, such as Song Feiru, Li Wanju, Xie Nanguang, and Li Chunqing. In an article entitled "How to Resettle Returning Taiwan Youth," Li Wanju specifically mentioned: "Comrade Wu Sihan, who is only twenty-one years old and does not understand the language, went from the Uighur homeland last year through Korea, northeast China, and Jiyu, preparing for hardships and hardships, arrived safely in Peidu yesterday, threw himself into the embrace of the motherland that he had longed for for many years, and read the "Record of Returning to the Motherland" written by him. However, Wu Sihan's demands and enthusiasm for participating in the anti-Japanese work not only did not receive the attention they deserved, but on the contrary, they were once again suspected and framed. It is said that the Kuomintang secret service believed that his leg was shorter, that his eyes that should have been round were a bit like Dan Feng's eyes, and that his Mandarin did not have the phonemes and habitual habits of Minnan dialect, so they suspected that he was a specially trained spy sent by Japan and wanted to use a US military plane to drop him in Taiwan, and asked him to contact the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Alishan to cooperate with the US landing operations, so as to eliminate him for such a grand reason. Li Chunqing and other anti-Japanese seniors in Taiwan were very worried that Wu Sihan would be deceived and needlessly sacrificed, so they managed to meet him at the Small Building of Linjiang in Liziba and tell him the true situation of Alishan's lack of anti-Japanese guerrillas. However, Wu Sihan simply replied: "I came to resist Japan, why can't I go?" In order to resist japan, he went to the soup to fight the fire, and did not quit. That's what I believe." Later, the U.S. landing plan was changed to Okinawa. Wu Sihan was spared the sacrifice and survived.

Third, stop worrying about the motherland!

On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally. After Wu Sihan returned to Taiwan, he immediately joined Taiwan Xinsheng Bao, where Li Wanju was the publisher and president, as a Japanese edition editor. He often took advantage of the gap before going to work to teach his colleague Wang Yaoxun (a native of Taipei City, Meiji University in Japan) and his female colleagues in the advertising department, Chen Zao and Li Shouzhi, to read Chinese and learn Chinese. Gradually, Chen Zao and Wang Yaoxun, Li Shouzhi and Wu Sihan developed into a pair of lovers. After reading Wu Sihan's report on "Three Thousand Miles of The Motherland" serialized in the Japanese edition of Taiwan Xinsheng Bao, Li Shouzhi had a better understanding of Wu Sihan's experiences and ideas. She also observed that he was not only quite progressive in his thinking, but also liked to be as simple and simple as a worker in life, without the posture of a reader on top.

Wu Sihan later opened an Enlightenment bookstore near the Taipei Post Office. Through the bookstore, he gradually got to know many aspiring young people in the north and south who pursued progress, one of which was Gu Jinliang (1915-2005), who had contacts with the New Fourth Army in northern Anhui during the Japanese occupation period, when he was half-delivering and half-selling leftist books and magazines brought back from Shanghai. Around May and June 1946, he asked Gu Jinliang to take him and several other young people to the mainland to find a way to the Liberated Areas. They stayed at the Taiwan Compatriots Association in Shanghai for a while. In November, the underground route to the Liberated Areas of Northern Jiangsu was cut off. President Li Weiguang told them that Taiwan needs people. They returned to Taiwan to work. Later, he once traveled back and forth between Taiwan and Shanghai. After the "228 Incident" in 1947, he was determined to throw himself into the new democratic revolution, so he returned to Taiwan without fear of the white terror threat, and in July of the same year, he was personally recruited into the party by Kwok Chun-chun, an assistant professor at the National Taiwan University School of Medicine, and immediately began lively organizational work.

In February 1949, Wu Sihan, who was actively engaged in underground work, and Li Shouzhi, who had been in love for many years, overcame all kinds of troubles and opposed their fathers and married. Later, she became pregnant. He thought about it for a long time, and finally advised her with a heavy heart: "The situation is still unstable, and we don't want to live for the time being." Then he comforted her and said, "When next year, when the situation is clear, will we be able to regenerate?" She listened to his advice and took the child. Unexpectedly, something happened to him.

Also in the spring of 1949, Wu Sihan served as a member of the Taipei Municipal Working Committee, directly leading the branches of Caoshan, the Tobacco and Alcohol Public Sale Bureau, the Taipei Telecommunications Bureau, the 12345 Street, the Shilin Tropical Medical Research Institute, Shuangyuan, and ShangShangzhou, as well as the branches of the Taiwan Provincial Railway Administration, the Taipei Machine Factory of the Railway Bureau, the Locomotive Maintenance Section of the Railway Bureau, and the Songshan Sixth Machine Factory, to secretly investigate and study various situations of the Nationalist army, establish Taiwan's "people's armed forces," carry out military movements, instigate military uprisings, and strengthen united front work. Use peripheral institutions to recruit Party members and expand revolutionary activities.

In October, Guo's identity was exposed and he was transferred to Yilan and Luodong. At the end of the year, Wu Sihan also went into hiding in the ethnic minority tribe of Leye Village in Wufeng Township, Alishan because of his work exposure, and the party group that had been transferred to the underground was the "Fugitive Cadre Branch" to continue his revolutionary activities.

In January 1950, Zhang Xiubo, a household registrar at the Chengzhong District Office in Taipei City, wu Sihan's subordinate "Monk Chau Branch," was arrested while at work. The Secrecy Bureau, on the basis of its confessions, pursued the clues and expanded the investigation. In April, Guo moved to Chiayi, using grocers as a cover to lurk. On May 10, Li Shuijing, a member and secretary of the "Student Work Committee" related to Wu Sihan, was arrested in Chiayi. Since July of the same year, the Secrecy Bureau has successively arrested 51 people, including Guo Xiaoxuan and Wu Sihan. It wasn't until Wu Sihan sent his first letter from the Military Justice Detention Center that Li Shouzhi learned that he had been arrested and imprisoned. She then went to prison at the prescribed time and delivered food to him. Each time, no matter how many people there were in the cell, he had to divide it equally among everyone. As many people as there are, there are as many shares. Later, he managed to get a key to the escort room, and when he signed a receipt for Li Shouzhi through the external servants, he gave her a small piece of soap with a model of the key printed on it. She looked at the bar of soap, and of course she could know what he meant. But she thought about it and didn't send the key in. She thought that even if she sent the key in, not only would it not solve the problem, but it would hurt him, and she would not do what he wanted. At the same time, most of the victims in the detention room also believed that the chances of success in escaping from prison were too low and opposed, so they did not implement this plan.

On September 7, Wu Sihan, Guo Xiaoxuan, Xu Qiang, Wang Yaoxun, and ten others were sentenced to death by Zheng Youling, a judge of the Military Justice Division of the Taiwan Provincial Security Command. After that day, every morning when he woke up, he put on his suit and his hair neatly, waiting for the guards to call his name. However, after the roll call, the sweeping servants were released. He took off his suit, threw it away, and said in Hokkien dialect, your mother! It's not my turn yet, I'm dying!" At the same time, his father, Wu Yun, did not hesitate to sell his property and went around expressing his feelings, and until November 27, he submitted a letter to the Military Justice Bureau entitled "Minzi Sihan was detained on suspicion of being a bandit, please forgive me." However, the next day, in the early morning of November 28, Wu Sihan, who had a warm patriotic heart, regardless of his personal future, risked his life, endured hunger and cold, and painstakingly searched for the motherland for three thousand miles, was still under the distorted history of the international Cold War and the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and his comrades were killed by the guns of the anti-communist executioners.
