In film and television dramas, many underground party and communist spies are active in the rear of the enemy, obtaining information through various means and channels to facilitate our victory, and they live a life of fear and caution every day, concealing their identities from relatives and friends, and even sacrificing themselves at critical moments to save others.
Sometimes I have wondered, do those characters who show up every day who are not really their true identities really exist? Is there really someone who is willing to give everything and endures a desperate life every day that does not know the sunshine of tomorrow? The answer is yes, those who made great contributions to the War of Resistance, but could not leave their names, really existed. More than 70 years ago, there was a young man who risked his life to send 10,000 taels of gold to the New Fourth Army, let's see how he ended up?
In a chaotic world, he does not seek to protect himself
As the title says, this young man is Ye Wenjin, born in Dongguan, Guangdong In 1916, it can be said that The years of China's innovation and decline and the turmoil of aggression accompanied Ye Wenjin's growth, from birth to adulthood, did not feel the prosperity of the motherland, but witnessed the country's increasing decline, how can young people with lofty ideals endure this, see the motherland being infringed by foreign enemies, if they do not make a difference, how can they be patriotic?
Ye Wenjin, who was diligent and studious from an early age, was admitted to Fu Jen University in Beijing, where he met many knowledgeable classmates and like-minded comrades. A group of young people with fiery hearts gathered on the university campus, and naturally collided with a fiery and resolute patriotism.
As Mr. Lu Xun said, the indifference and ignorance of the Chinese people and the general mentality of the bystanders are the important reasons for the country's downfall, and to awaken this sleeping giant lion, we need a broader vision and knowledge, and we should also better understand the ideas and culture of the enemy. After graduating from university, Ye Wenjin decided to go to Japan to study.
The territory of the country is guarded by soldiers with steel guns, and the strength of the country and the victory of the war of resistance also require more people's spirits to be uplifted and actively involved in the battle. During his study in Japan, he secretly met with Xia Yan through Yao Qianxiu's introduction, which changed the fate of Ye Wenjin's life, and he began to participate in the activities organized by the Communist Party, and Xia Yan was his superior leader.
When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in 1937, he organized the "Salvation Society for Students Studying in Japan" in Shanghai to cheer up the Chinese people and criticize Various Crimes of Japan with words.
In April 1938, he was assigned by the party organization to go deep into the guerrilla areas behind enemy lines for an interview, which lasted for a year and a half, and he wandered around the guerrilla war points in various regions, and after collating and publishing a long-form documentary newsletter in the newspaper titled "Records of the Five Provinces behind enemy Lines in North China". Publicizing the deeds of many anti-Japanese heroes in guerrilla warfare has played a very positive and encouraging role in invigorating the enthusiasm for anti-Japanese resistance.
Hide your name and sneak behind the enemy
A few years ago, the TV hit spy drama "Lurking", in which the wise and quiet underground workers are impressive, the word spy does not sound positive, but it is a great role in the war. They cannot use their true names, they cannot show their true emotions, they cannot freely do what they want to do, they may not be able to be worshiped in a fair and upright manner when they die, and they may even be accused of traitors and traitors forever and cannot be justified.
Ye Wenjin accepted such a task at a critical moment in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In September 1941, he returned to Shanghai, under the pseudonym Ye Deming, and used his special status as a reporter and editor-in-chief to carry out underground work, cooperating with other party comrades to cover up and rescue Communist Party workers.
As the mainstream propaganda media at that time, people from all walks of life attached great importance to the spiritual public opinion orientation published in the articles in the newspaper, and during the period under the pseudonym Ye Deming, as a reporter and editor-in-chief, they repeatedly propagated the patriotic ideas of the Communist Party in resisting the War and saving the country.
Later, through the special status of the newspaper, he borrowed five thousand yuan from the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, ostensibly with the Japanese side, but in fact the money obtained had long been provided to the Communist army.
Ye Deming, who wanders among people from all walks of life, has amazing emotional intelligence and communication skills, and he plays different roles, which can be a journalist with unique insights, a full-fledged gongzi brother who wanders the vocal music field, or a "fellow man" who is quite compatible with the Wang puppet government and understands current affairs. His outstanding performance was valued by the Wang puppet government, and he was transferred to the Shanghai Public Utilities Bureau Affairs Section, where he was also mixed up and well disguised.
He was fiercely loyal and unjustly imprisoned for twenty years
No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us! Ye Deming played this sentence to the fullest, he cooperated with the Japanese to smuggle arms, ostensibly to make riches for the Japanese, but in fact the guns were sent to the Communist army. Through this method of "darkening the warehouse", it was statistically calculated that more than twenty gold bars and more than fifty tons of materials were delivered to our party.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he transported several truckloads of ammunition to the Communists through his own connections and means. When the Japanese Navy withdrew, it left all the supplies of the Japanese munitions depot to Ye Deming, which contained more than 400 guns, more than 300,000 tons of grain, and more than 500 boxes of explosives. According to the conversion, the value of these military supplies exceeded 10,000 taels of gold.
The days of fear and fear have finally passed, and the beautiful life of national liberation and independence and freedom is coming, but Ye Deming has not enjoyed the happy life brought about by victory.
Shortly after the founding of New China, Ye Wenjin became the general manager of Hong Kong Yuhua Bank, and his many years of experience in business and politics enabled him to make full use of the merchants' funds to introduce a large number of scarce materials for the transportation of the mainland. Unfortunately, in 1955, he was implicated by his superiors while working underground, and was convicted of internal rape and imprisoned for up to 20 years.
In February 1980, Ye Wenjin finally suffered a grievance, and after his release from prison, he served as the deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Museum of Culture and History and the deputy secretary-general of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The hero of China's liberation struggle for half a lifetime, such an ending to the final situation, can not help us to sigh. There is no right or wrong in the evolution of history, and the circumstances of a lifetime are also sad and joyful, and we cannot make up for twenty years of freedom, but we can remember the strokes and scenes of his struggle for the country.
brief summary:
There are too many stories drowned in the long river of history, how the times have changed, the patriotic feelings inherited will never be erased, Ye Wenjin did not give up when he was most hopeless, and resolutely expressed his great feelings towards the motherland no matter what the situation. People with a firm patriotic heart are particularly strong, and their perseverance can influence a generation and change their life choices, just like when he threw himself into the cause of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and protected the integrity of the country with my strength, although it was small and did not give up!
More than 70 years ago, Ye Wenjin, who risked his life to send 10,000 taels of gold to the New Fourth Army, spent his life serving the country and devoted himself to the party, although he has passed away, the final ending is lamentable, and at the same time, he will always remember his patriotism!
