History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
There is an old saying: "All the elderly can die, and the grace is wide and the grass and insects are widespread." This means that if the old man can not die of disease and poverty, but simply end because of the end of his life, it is a very happy thing. In the harsh past, it is a great blessing to live to the age of old age (80 to 90 years old).
The protagonist in today's story is an 81-year-old old farmer, who usually has a good relationship with the neighbors, and is happy to smile at everyone, but suddenly one day, he was taken away by the police and wanted to shoot him, and the villagers who did not know the truth came to intercede for him. Who is he? What the hell is going on to make people so angry?
The story also begins during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, in the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870 AD), a healthy baby boy fell to the ground in a landlord family in Paozi Village, Pulandian District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, and his father named him Liu Yutian, because of his good family situation, his father was still a lifter, so Liu Yutian had valuable reading opportunities since he was a child, and from the age of 8, Liu Yutian was sent to a private school to study.
At the beginning, he also tried to study hard, but he did not expect that this young master was not the material for reading at all, what he would not learn, lazy and slippery but a good hand, so later several times to participate in the imperial examination, all named Luosun Mountain, since it is not the material for reading, simply do not read. Father is very depressed, but Liu Yutian is very happy, do not have to read just right, every day days happy and happy, just at this time, a person who changed Liu Yutian's life appeared, his name is Zheng Yongchang.
In fact, this Zheng Yongchang is not a Chinese, but a spy from Japan, his real name is Shenwu Guangchen, as soon as he came to Paozi Village, he heard the name of the landlord's son Liu Yutian, so he took the initiative to approach him, the purpose is also very simple, that is, to obtain intelligence and win Liu Yutian to serve Japan.
The simple-minded Liu Yutian was soon blinded by Zheng Yongchang, followed him everywhere idle, the relationship was very close, Zheng Yongchang saw that the time was ripe, he revealed his identity, and hoped that he would serve the Great Japanese Empire, and promised him a high-ranking official Houlu, gold and silver treasures, Liu Yutian soon defected to the Japanese, becoming a traitor to the country and seeking glory.
In August 1894, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out, and then the Japanese army landed in Dalian and began the road of aggression, hundreds of people were displaced and their families were destroyed, but Liu Yutian was unharmed because he and Zheng Yongchang had a good relationship early, and even lived more and more elegantly.
On November 6, the Japanese army captured the city of Jinzhou in Dalian, Liu Yutian even hung the saber sent to him by the Japanese, drove 10 carriages full of military supplies, and went to Jinzhou to "comfort the Japanese army", watching his son's behavior of betraying the country and seeking glory, his father was killed alive, and the villagers hated Liu Yutian to the bone.
But all this did not change Liu Yutian's behavior, he not only actively provided materials to the Japanese army, but also used all his strength to help the Japanese find intelligence, give them guidance, and lead the Japanese army to attack the Chinese compatriots, losing all his conscience.
When the Sino-Japanese War ended, the Qing government immediately wanted Liu Yutian, a traitor, and when he received the news early, he ran away with money, and then contacted the Japanese and expressed his hope to live in Japan, in order to express his "sincerity", Liu Yutian gave the treasures handed down from his ancestors to Japan, Emperor Hirohito was very happy after receiving the treasure, and also gave him the Japanese name Kameyama Matsutaro, Liu Yutian was grateful to Shu Zero, and strengthened his determination to fight for the Japanese.
In 1898, Liu Yutian joined the Japanese nationality, and when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, Liu Yutian also returned to China as a "senior japanese adviser in China" to collect intelligence for the Japanese army, in order to better serve the Japanese army, Liu Yutian sold all the 1200 acres of land and more than 200 houses handed down by his ancestors, exchanged for money, bought 2 military aircraft, gave them to the Japanese army, and the Japanese drove them to slaughter the Chinese people.
However, justice will surely triumph over evil, in 1945 Japan announced unconditional surrender, the defeated Japanese returned to Japan, "Japanese" Liu Yutian naturally had to hurry back, the result was rejected miserably, it turned out that the Japanese just regarded him as a running dog, after losing the use of value, of course abandoned. Losing the protection of the Japanese, Liu Yutian knew his fate, and in order to avoid wanted, he hid in the Pulandian area of Dalian and became an "old farmer" He Wenquan. Because there were many people fleeing at this time, the locals did not find anything unusual.
In order to hide his past, Liu Yutian was a smiling face and helpful to everyone, and the villagers quickly accepted this "simple" old farmer, and the neighborhood relations were particularly good, until the founding of New China in 1949, the public security department launched a campaign to eliminate counter-revolution throughout the country, and soon Liu Yutian's identity was exposed.
For the arrival of the police, Liu Yutian is very calm, he has long expected this day, but the villagers do not know his true identity, but also pleaded for him, but when the police announced his true identity and bad past, the crowd was angry, asking the police to execute him as soon as possible!
In 1951, Liu Yutian was executed by shooting according to law, and at the age of 81, the first traitor in Liaoning, finally ended his criminal life.
