introduction
There is such a scene in the movie "The Sound of the Wind": After work, Gu Xiaomeng, dressed in a slim cheongsam, came to the dance hall, hovering and laughing in the flickering lights. Wang Qinglian, 86, has never seen the film, but she has a similar experience to Gu Xiaomeng. The place where Wang Qinglian was at that time was not Gu Xiaomeng's Wang Pseudo Secret Service, but the corrected Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, a mysterious organization that americans called "the most powerful and important in the Republic of China."
The military command, the full name of the Military Commission Investigation and Statistics Bureau, the secret agent, is often referred to as a spy. The mention of spies is mostly pejorative, but it is also curious, and female spies are even more so.
Wang Qinglian, the last female interpreter of the military command Chinese mainland, was now an elderly man who was dying of old age, and her life, looking back on the past, is all dangerous
。
Family difficulties, join the army to earn a living
In April 1928, Wang Qinglian was born in Jiangshan, Zhejiang Province, her father died when she was one year old, and the family's livelihood depended entirely on her mother, and her mother, who was working everywhere, could not take care of the young Wang Qinglian, so she was handed over to her grandmother to take care of her. Fortunately, Wang Qinglian has a good mother, in such a difficult family,
Still insist on letting her go to school and study, rather than marrying a woman early in life
。 Wang Qinglian went to school for six years, and by the time she was in junior high school, her family conditions were already so difficult that eating and eating were problematic, and Wang Qinglian, who was in the early years of her junior high school, was forced to drop out of school during the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In order to survive, her mother secretly concealed that Wang Qinglian had registered her for the recruitment exam, which was the best future that her mother could think of for Wang Qinglian. 15-year-old Wang Qinglian, because he could not eat a full meal for a long time, was thin and weak, and could not do heavy work, although it was possible to fight on the battlefield as a soldier, but if he was not a soldier, he would be starved to death.
What Wang Qinglian's mother did not expect was that she applied for the exam for her daughter issued by the Military Statistics Bureau. Wang Qinglian successfully passed and was admitted by virtue of the knowledge she had learned in the past six years, and Wang Qinglian was both happy and worried, and finally stopped worrying about her livelihood, but the danger of becoming a soldier was something she did not dare to imagine.
In June 1943, a military vehicle carrying 20 teenagers rushed to Chongqing through a hail of bullets and bullets, including 15-year-old Wang Qinglian, who was recruited by the Military Command Bureau as a new batch of translators and photocopiers.
Did a good job and became a female spy
Wang Qinglian, who grew up in the countryside, was very able to bear hardships, worked very hard, and was very popular because of her diligence and studiousness; what was important was that Wang Qinglian spoke a Dialect of Jiangshan, and if she was not a Jiangshan person, she could not understand Jiangshan dialect, so Wang Qinglian was transferred to the most confidential department of the Military Command Bureau- the Translation and Telecommunications Department.
The work of the translation and electronics department is boring, the atmosphere is serious, the young girl is lively and active, and it is human nature to love beauty.
Wang Qinglian often goes to the dance hall after work to dance, where she can meet many friends
They didn't know where they worked, and they didn't dare to talk about it, and they were found to be in confinement.
Wang Qinglian later recalled that her days at the Military Command Bureau were the happiest
。 Although the work of the translation department is heavy and boring, there is a generous remuneration every day, which makes Wang Qinglian, who was originally hungry
Grateful and very satisfied
But in the final analysis, Wang Qinglian is still just an ordinary person who eats for a mixed meal, and has been in the Military Command Bureau for a long time, and the special environment has made her have extremely depressed emotions.
Even if living here is superior, Wang Qinglian still chooses to give up all this glitz and return to her hometown
。 In 1946, Wang Qinglian left Chongqing on the pretext of returning to her hometown to visit her mother, and never returned from this trip.
If you can't die, you can live
After the founding of New China, many Kuomintang agents moved to Taiwan, and Wang Qinglian chose to stay on the mainland.
Because of her special work experience in military command, Wang Qinglian later became the first target of repression, especially during the Cultural Revolution. Wang Qinglian said that at that time, the days were simply worse than death, and every day was part of the day's interrogation, she said, in the Military Command Bureau, she was sitting in the office translating telegrams, there were no weapons and no killings, and if she could not ask, she would be beaten, and the mental torture made her have no motivation to live. Wang Qinglian once thought of committing suicide by throwing herself into the water, but she was saved.
She said to herself, so many people have been criticized, I am nothing, I want to live well
Wang Qinglian has been in the countryside for 23 years, she performed well in the transformation, and was rehabilitated in the 80s, Wang Qinglian said.
I still have to thank the state, the time of my transformation is counted into the working hours, I also have subsidies and pensions, thanks to the state to support me for 31 years
。 In the 31 years after retirement, Wang Qinglian can also have half a pack of cigarettes every day by subsidies, and smoking is a habit she developed when she was transforming.
The warm life in her later years made the elderly Wang Qinglian enjoy it very much.
Today, she looks down on the past, a positive and optimistic life, after so many ups and downs and waves, ushered in a new chapter in her life
。 Life is like tea tasting, you need to calm down, in order to face the world's troubles, Wang Qinglian's attitude to face life is worth learning for everyone.
