In 1950, on the streets of Changchun, Jilin Province, a small, simply dressed vendor was hiding in a corner and shouting vigorously, stopping pedestrians to introduce his goods.
Suddenly, several strong boys pulled out pistols from their arms and surrounded them, whispering, "Don't move, pack up your things, come with us!" ”
The little trader giggled inexplicably, and suddenly struggled frantically in the same place: "What are you?" What to do? I'm a good man, don't come here! Help me! Someone robbed! ”
The noise immediately caused a commotion in the street, and the small trader's eyes were dripping and he was planning to flee in the chaos, but he was grabbed by a small man and pressed against the wall: "Yang Qinghai, you better be honest, drive away I dare to shoot you!" ”
Seeing that the people had already gathered around, the scene had a momentum of loss of control, and several people were afraid of misunderstanding, so they hurriedly took out their documents and quickly explained: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, we are the Public Security Liberation Army, we are arresting bad people, everyone is scattered." ”
When Yang Qinghai saw that they had recognized his identity, he immediately gave up resistance like an earthy face, and his whole body was paralyzed weakly, and then he was escorted to the Changchun Public Security Bureau in Jilin For interrogation overnight, and at the public trial meeting of tens of thousands of people, he was sentenced to death by the court and immediately executed by shooting. What crime was committed?
Yang Qinghai, whose ancestral home is Changchun, Jilin Province, was born in 1916 in an ordinary poor peasant family.
In 1931, after the comprehensive fall of the three northeastern provinces due to the routine policy of non-resistance by Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal of the Feng clan, the people in the northeast region suddenly lived in deep trouble, not only physically and materially oppressed and destroyed by the Japanese army, but also mentally enslaved and miserable.
In 1935, in order to support his family, 19-year-old Yang Qinghai joined the local security force of the Japanese puppet army, which was later reorganized and expanded by the Japanese army into a self-defense regiment, often helping the Japanese to burn and loot in the three eastern provinces, becoming a traitor that everyone shouted and beat.
In 1940, Yang Qinghai, who had been selling his life to the Japanese for five years, had become an officer of the cavalry regiment, but he was condemned by his conscience, because he was accustomed to the numerous atrocities committed by the Japanese army on the land of China, so Yang Qinghai, who still had the great righteousness of the country in his heart and had not lost his conscience, had always taken the initiative to seek the opportunity to become a man again.
When he went out on a patrol mission one day, Yang Qinghai saw the opportunity, broke away from the control of the Japanese army, took the initiative to surrender to the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, re-united the front with the masses, and became a part of the resistance against the Japanese invaders.
At the most dangerous and difficult time of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Resistance League, Yang Qinghai never abandoned it, and with the advantage of being full of dedication to the country and familiarity with the terrain, he often led cavalry to guerrilla warfare in the areas of Fujin and Hulin, which brought great trouble to the Japanese army and made great achievements in the national independence war of resistance.
However, as the Japanese army continued to increase troops to the northeast and established the puppet Manchurian Empire in Fengtian in the northeast, increasing the oppression and suppression of the anti-coalition team, resulting in a serious loss of the strength of the northeast anti-coalition and completely losing the living space, Yang Qinghai, in desperation, could only follow the large troops to temporarily retreat to the Soviet Union to rest and stand by.
Until 1945, the once ferocious Japanese army was at the end of its rope, defeated in the last blow launched by the Soviet Million Red Army to the south, unconditionally announced surrender, after 14 years of arduous resistance finally won, Yang Qinghai also followed the Soviet Red Army back to his hometown in the northeast.
After the victorious liberation of the Yilan region, Yang Qinghai did not go south to enter the customs, but was left organizationally to serve as the deputy commander of the defense of Yilan City and the commander of the People's Autonomous Army.
From fighting guerrillas in the dense forest to becoming the administrator of a city, Yang Qinghai's mind and thinking have undergone a great change, and he is very envious and jealous of the luxurious life of the rich people in the city who spend their days and drinks and the beautiful cars, and has developed deep doubts about the revolutionary road he adheres to.
One day, when Yang Qinghai was patrolling the streets, he found a group of hooligans flirting with women in broad daylight, and after a heroic rescue scene of dog blood, Yang Qinghai learned that this woman was a famous "dancer" in the city, named Xin Aiyu, and the two fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love.
Yang Qinghai's mind has changed drastically, not only drunk every day, but also taking bribes from rich people to help them solve their troubles, frequently going to high-end dance halls, restaurants and other social places, less and less like revolutionary cadres.
He Jinnian, commander of the military sub-district, was very concerned about Yang Qinghai's changes, often criticized him for education, and painfully asked him to recognize himself and not to be corrupted by sugar-coated shells, but unexpectedly caused Yang Qinghai's dissatisfaction.
When he told Xin Aiyu about this, he did not expect that Xin Aiyu actually introduced him to Wu Hantao, chairman of the National Army's Hejiang Province, at which time Yang Qinghai knew that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy, but he was already deeply rooted in Xin Aiyu and it was difficult to get out, so under Wu Hantao's arrangement, he secretly contacted the bandit leader Li Huatang and others to prepare for rebellion.
On October 10, 1946, Yang Qinghai ordered his nephew Yang Yongshan, who was the deputy company commander, to openly launch a riot, snatching and killing Wang Zijun, Wang Ping, Zhang Jianguo, and other PLA cadres who did not want to follow him, and opening the city gate to let bandits enter the city.
After a night of fierce fighting, but was met with a head-on attack by our army, the rebels and bandits were all destroyed, leaving only Yang Qinghai alone to escape with his life, and Yang Qinghai, who was frightened and broke his guts, fled back to Changchun and started a small business.
I thought that in 1950, I was arrested by the public security after exposing my identity, sentenced to death at the 10,000 public trial meeting, immediately executed by shooting, and used my criminal life to pay for the serious mistakes I had made.
