Don't let the eyebrows be shaved. The Chinese nation has always had no shortage of heroines like Mulan, such as the famous Qiu Jin, Zhao Yiman, Jiang Jie, Liu Hulan, etc., and their stories have been widely circulated. However, due to some complex historical reasons, there are many stories of female heroes that are little known, and even buried in the dust of history. But history should be just, and the martyrs who really contributed to the country and the nation and even gave their lives should not be forgotten! Today, "The Woman Who Tells History" will introduce you to the tragic story of a hero of the War of Fighters: After the anti-Japanese heroine Chen Kangrong was arrested, she was tortured and intimidated by the enemy such as skinning and burying her alive. How did it end?
Compared with Sister Jiang, Zhao Yiman and others, her name is very strange. Her name is Chen Kangrong, her ancestral home is Yongding County, Fujian Province, and she was born in 1915 to an overseas Chinese family in Burma. His father, Chen Ximei, was a patriotic overseas Chinese who had participated in the League led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in his early years, and after the Xinhai Revolution, he settled in Burma.
Born in Myanmar, Chen Kangrong has lived a relatively prosperous life since he was a child, not to say that he is a bridesmaid, at least a small family jasper. She was beautiful, kind-hearted, clever, and fond of reading, and in any case people would not associate her with a later "hero" or "martyr." However, history is so willful, and fate is so impermanent.
In 1930, Chen Kangrong returned to China with his father. At the age of 15, of course, she continued her studies, first studying at Jimei School in Xiamen and later being admitted to Xiamen University. If it were not for the later War of Resistance Against Japan, perhaps Chen Kangrong would have become a scholar, or even studied abroad, at least with her family lineage, appearance and knowledge, she could have married a person with a very high status and identity, and lived a happy or smooth life. However, history cannot be assumed.
China in the 1930s was not a peaceful and prosperous world, with warlords at home and international bullying by great powers, especially the Japanese Empire. In fact, Chen Kangrong made up his mind to serve the country when he was in middle school. If you have a father who has done a revolution and does not want to be a slave to the country, you will definitely have the ambition to save the country.
Of course, there are many ways to save the country, you can save the country scientifically, such as Qian Xuesen; you can also save the country through industry, such as Chen Jiageng. However, it is certainly necessary for some people to save the country by force, to save the country in a revolutionary way. Because either way, it will eventually be implemented on the battlefield. You have used science to build aircraft cannons and even missiles, and if you can't get them on the battlefield, the enemy will not automatically go home; no matter how much money and property you donate to the country, no one will go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy, and the enemy will not automatically go home. So someone has to rise up and fight the enemy in a revolutionary way. Chen Kangrong chose this one.
When Chen Kangrong was at Xiamen University, he began to accept revolutionary ideas. Later, under the influence and cultivation of underground party organizations, he secretly joined the party. Since then, he has become a revolutionary.
In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full swing, the 22-year-old Chen Kangrong had not yet graduated from university. But for the sake of the War of Resistance, for the sacred mission in your heart — allow me to use this word, because in that era, once you had a revolutionary ideal, no matter what ideology or doctrine, it didn't matter, but as long as it was for the sake of the future of the Chinese nation, for the sake of saving the world's lives, or for the sake of saving the common people under the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou, your ideals were noble and sacred — Chen Kangrong resolutely interrupted her studies and refused the comfortable life arranged and designed by her father for her in Burma. I threw myself wholeheartedly into the anti-Japanese salvation movement.
Chen Kangrong successively joined the Xiamen Cultural Circles Anti-Enemy Support Association, the Xiamen Branch of the Chinese Women's Consolation Front Anti-Japanese Soldiers Association,Chinese and the Xiamen Anti-Enemy Support Association's Consolation Work Group.
In March 1938, the second detachment of the New Fourth Army went north to resist the Japanese, and the superiors sent a group of comrades to work in the countryside according to the needs of the situation. In accordance with the arrangements of the party organization, Chen Kangrong came to the mountainous area of western Fujian to participate in the training class of the CPC's Southwest Fujian Special Committee. Through the introduction of Chen Rongsong, the local security chief, she was sent to her hometown of Yongding Qiling to serve as a missionary committee member to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda activities. Of course, she has a public identity, that is, a rural primary school teacher under the pseudonym Chen Rong. Doing underground work was fraught with risks, and even the danger to their lives was no less than that of soldiers on the battlefield.
On the one hand, Chen Kangrong became a primary school teacher, taught the children in the countryside to read and read, and taught them the principle of patriotic behavior; on the other hand, he vigorously publicized the anti-Japanese struggle to save the country among the common people. Using the rural primary school as a position, she organized an anti-enemy support group to carry out various forms of anti-Japanese rescue activities.
Chen Kangrong was a multi-talented girl who could sing and dance, and she set up an anti-Japanese rescue troupe to perform street dramas and dances such as "Down with the Traitors," "Catch the Traitor," "Lay Down Your Whip," and "Big Knife Song," and sang anti-Japanese songs such as "9/18" and "On the Songhua River," so that the anti-Japanese movement within a radius of several tens of miles was vigorously launched.
In 1940, Wang Jingwei openly defected to the Japanese and established the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing, and the Japanese puppet traitors under his command began to arrest anti-Japanese people on a large scale. This has put underground revolutionary workers like Chen Kangrong in great danger.
On the night of August 18, 1940, Chen Kangrong was arrested by the Japanese puppet army due to the betrayal of traitors. When the agents came to her residence, in a hurry, she tore up the information she had just written for the county party committee and swallowed it into her stomach. The traitors tried to get other information from her mouth and gave her banknotes on the spot, but she tore them to pieces, spat on each other's faces, and scolded the other party for being a traitor and a traitor.
The helpless traitors also found Chen Kangrong's classmates at Xiamen University and promised her glory and wealth, persuading her to submit. But they were all sternly rejected by her. Later, the enemy asked him to write the "Book of Self-Surrender" within three days, and promised to let her go home to reunite with her relatives; otherwise he would peel her skin and even bury her alive.
In the face of the enemy's threats and inducements, in the face of the enemy's intimidation, Chen Kangrong was not afraid. She wrote the Book of Self-Surrender, but there were only a few sentences like this:
"The price of youth is incomparable, so why mention reunion."
In order to achieve justice, why be afraid to peel the skin! ”
This is the same as the martyr Xia Minghan's "beheading does not matter, as long as the doctrine is true." Kill Xia Minghan, and have his own descendants "the same iron bones, the same arrogance!"
After reading Chen Kangrong's "Letter of Surrender", the enemy was furious and decided to torture her. They took off her clothes, hung her up and beat her. The whip whip made Chen Kangrong covered in blood, but she never uttered a word...
The enemy beat chen Kangrong and tortured her for three days and three nights, leaving her humiliated. Finally, the impatient beasts brutally killed her on September 17. Chen Kangrong was only 25 years old when he died.
There are many folk theories about Chen Kangrong's death. The first is that Tan Rixin, the leader of the traitors, took her to a hill and skinned her alive with a bayonet; the second is that Chen Kangrong was buried alive by the Japanese puppet army and died; the third is that Chen Kangrong was skinned and pushed into a pit and buried alive before he could stop breathing. Several of these claims are extremely cruel.
However, since there is no accurate record in the canonical history, the author prefers to believe that Chen Kangrong was shot by the enemy. Because for a 25-year-old flower girl (there is also a saying that Chen Kangrong was married at that time, the child was only 6 months old, which is even more unfortunate), the enemy did not need to treat her so cruelly; if she was really skinned and buried alive, then the person who killed her was better than a beast, and she would definitely go to hell.
In short, Chen Kangrong dedicated himself to the revolution with his 25-year-old youth, although he did not directly sacrifice himself on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war, he also indirectly shed his blood for the anti-Japanese struggle of the Chinese people.
