In 1984, a public trial meeting was held in Luoyang, Henan Province, and a group of criminals was sentenced to death, and a man named Chen Dongping was sentenced to death and immediately executed by firing squad. After the verdict was pronounced, Chen Dongping was taken to the execution ground with other death row inmates, and with the sound of a gunshot, he received the punishment he deserved.
But what is less known is that this man named Chen Dongping is not simple, and his father is the son of Chen Zaidao, one of the 57 founding generals of New China.
What serious crime did Chen Dongping, who was born in the gate, commit? Why was the death penalty imposed?
Today, I will talk to you about the shooting of Chen Dongping, the son of Chen Zaidao, and before we begin, let's first introduce General Chen Zaidao.
Chen Dongping
Chen Zaidao, a founding general who came out of Macheng, Hubei Province, joined the Peasants' Self-Defense Army in his hometown as early as 1926, at the age of 17, and fought against the reactionaries under the leadership of the party organization.
After the jute uprising broke out, it shocked the Kuomintang authorities and mobilized a large army to counterattack Huang'an and Macheng, and Chen Zaidao and his comrades-in-arms turned to Mulan Mountain to insist on fighting guerrillas, and was one of the famous Seventy-two Warriors of Mulan Mountain.
Shortly after Chen Zaidao joined the revolution, he was introduced to marry a woman named Xiong Huizhi in the township. Chen Zaidao originally thought that although he joined the revolution, he could often go home, but due to the sudden change in the situation, Chen Zaidao only stayed with his new wife for less than a week, and he was urgently recalled to the army.
Revolutionary soldiers are a brick, and they will be moved wherever they are needed, and after Receiving orders from his superiors, Chen Zaidao can only bid farewell to his new wife and return to the army. Before leaving, Chen Zaidao told him to take good care of himself at home and come back after going out for a while. Looking at her husband's distant figure, Xiong Huizhi shed tears...
Chen Zai said that he never expected that the next time he returned to his hometown, it would be decades later; and his wife Xiong Huizhi looked into the distance, looking forward to it day and night, but never saw her husband.
Stills of the Red Army
As the Red Army grew stronger and stronger, Chen Zaidao gradually grew into a fierce general, and his fame in the Eyu-Anhui region was great; Xiong Huizhi, as a "bandit," was hunted down by the enemy; in the process of refuge, he encountered a human trafficker who sold him to a poor tailor as his wife.
Although Chen Zai said that he didn't care, his comrades-in-arms were anxious for him, especially Chen Geng, who was even more to break his heart.
After the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, Chen Zaidao served as the deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and the brigade commander was Chen Geng.
Chen Geng was a famous "red lady" in our army, and she promoted the marriage of several people. As we all know, Peng Dehuai's wife, Liu Kunmo, "lost contact" with her husband for more than ten years since the Pingjiang Uprising, until after the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Zhu De and Peng Dehuai jointly commanded the victory in the Battle of Pingxingguan, and Liu Kunmo got the news of Peng Dehuai from the newspaper and went to the anti-Japanese front in North China to find him.
But in this decade, in order to survive, Liu Kunmo lived with others in Wuhan and had a child, so the two could not break the mirror and reunite, and Peng Dehuai once lost confidence in "love". When Chen Geng saw the situation, he took the initiative to "undertake" the "task" of helping Peng Dehuai find a partner, and helped Peng Dehuai and Pu'an Xiuxi to tie the knot.
In addition, the love between the founding general Xiao Hua and Wang Xinlan, the founding general Wang Shusheng and Yang Ju and others has The direct "help" of Chen Geng.
Chen Geng
For Chen Zaidao, who fought side by side with himself, he was even more attentive, but at that time, the troops had been fighting on the front line and could only be temporarily delayed.
At the end of 1937, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, in accordance with the instructions of the headquarters, formed an eastward column with some companies of the 769th Regiment, with Chen Zaidao, deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, as the commander, and led its troops to open up a base area in southern Hebei.
Southern Hebei is a necessary place for the Pinghan and Jinpu railways, and the strategic location is very important, but here is mainly based on the plains, and the situation is very complicated, the Japanese army, puppet army, Huidaomen sect, bandits and other armed forces are intertwined, for the Eighth Route Army, which is good at mountain guerrilla warfare, it is not easy to develop.
After a short period of training and preparation, Chen Zaidao and his troops set out in January 1938 into the Southern Hebei region, with a headquarters set up in Nangong.
Before leaving, Chen Geng specifically instructed Bu Shengguang, chief of staff of the EastWard Column, to help Chen Zaidao find a wife after he arrived in Ji'nan, and jokingly said: "If Chen Zaidao still beats a bare stick after two years, I will ask you!" The three of them laughed loudly, and after Chen Geng finished speaking, Chen Zaidao forgot about it, but Bu Shengguang kept it in mind.
One day shortly after the eastward column arrived at nangong, Chen Zaidao thought that when he first arrived, he should visit the local party and government organs, so he called the chief of staff, Bu Shengguang, to go with him.
After visiting the county party committee organs, Bu Shengguang saw that the Women's Rescue Association was also nearby, remembering the "important task" given by Brigadier Chen Geng before leaving, so he dragged Chen Zaidao to the Women's Rescue Association to see, saying that the Women's Rescue Association was the main force in front of the branch, and the Communist Party had always paid attention to equality between men and women, so it could not despise women.
Chen Zaidao could not help Bu Shengguang, and came to the Women's Rescue Association together; just after entering the gate, a young woman came up to greet her, and after Bu Shengguang inquired, she learned that her name was Zhang Shuangqun, a female student, who had seen Chen Zaidao and Bu Shengguang in an activity before.
Bu Shengguang began to secretly find the right candidate for Chen Zaidao, looking at it, in the end, he still thought that Zhang Shuangqun was more suitable, and Chen Zaidao and Zhang Shuangqun seemed to be more "in love", the two had talked and laughed, and Bu Shengguang decided to match the two.
After visiting the Women's Rescue Association, Chen Zaidao strode back to the headquarters, Bu Shengguang deliberately walked slowly, and when he saw Chen Zaidao walking far away, he turned around and returned to the Women's Rescue Association and entrusted Zhang Shuangqun to "help."
Bu Shengguang gave Zhang Shuangqun a "task": "Xiao Zhang, give you an important task, can you complete it?" ”
"Report to the chief and ensure that the task is completed." Zhang Shuangqun said firmly.

At this time, Zhang Shuangqun learned that Chen Zaidao was not yet married, and Bu Shengguang actually asked him to help the commander find an object.
After the explanation, Bu Shengguang and the guards hurriedly chased after Chen Zai: "Commander, how do you see that Xiao Zhang just now?" I think it's not bad, I'm a party member at a young age, and there is absolutely no problem in politics...."
Bu Shengguang had been telling Chen Zaidao about Zhang Shuangqun all the way, but Chen Zaidao basically thought that he had "not heard" and did not respond much. Bu Shengguang was anxious and said directly: "Don't say it, silence is consent, I will now return to the Women's Rescue Association and talk to Xiao Zhang." ”
"Stop, you give me back, you don't have to take care of this matter..." After saying that, Chen Zaidao, who was slightly red in the face, strode forward.
This small detail was looked at by Bu Shengguang, and he knew that the two had a play.
In fact, after Chen Zaidao first saw Zhang Shuangqun, he had a different feeling. After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Shuangqun's appearance kept coming to mind, pacing back and forth in the house. Under normal circumstances, Chen Zaidao would only do this when considering big problems, but Ji'nan has been relatively stable recently, the Japanese Kou have not invaded, the bandits have basically subsided, there is no war for the time being, the guards are also very confused, and after the meal, they do not dare to call him...
Zhang Shuangqun, on the other hand, after sending Chen Zaidao and Bu Shengguang away, began to ponder the "important task" given by Bu Shengguang: to help Commander Chen find an object.
She went through all the women she knew in the Women's Rescue Association and other units, but felt that there was no suitable candidate, either older, or not very well born, etc. In chen Zaidao's identity, she must not find one at random...
Just when Zhang Shuangqun was "racking his brains," Chief of Staff Bu Shengguang came to the Women's Rescue Association again and asked for her by name.
Originally, I thought that Bu Shengguang had a new task to explain, but this time Bu Shengguang did not turn a corner and said directly to Zhang Shuangqun: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, Commander Chen has taken a fancy to you, and I hope that you can take a stand as soon as possible..." After Bu Shengguang finished speaking, he took out a resume of Chen Zaidao, which had been prepared long ago, and asked him to "refer to it well." ”
Women's Rescue Society
After Bu Shengguang left, Zhang Shuangqun's mood was very excited, and he picked up Chen Zaidao's resume and looked at it well, at which time Zhang Shuangqun learned that Chen Zaidao was an old revolutionary, who joined the military camp in his teens, and in just a few years he grew into a military commander who commanded thousands of troops and horses, and was a fierce general in our army.
The next day, Zhang Shuangqun's letter was sent to the headquarters, because Chen Zaidao just happened to have something to do, and he didn't come back until the sun went down. According to the work regulations, the chief of the operations section opened the letter, and after seeing the contents, he learned that Commander Chen was about to end the "single stick."
After Chen Zaidao returned to the headquarters, the chief of the operations section smiled and handed him the letter, then turned around and slipped away, Chen Zaidao felt a little strange for a moment.
After opening the letter, Chen Zaidao first saw that the words in the letter were written very beautifully, and after a careful look, he found that this was actually a letter written by Zhang Shuangqun, Chen Zaidao was suddenly "boiling with blood", and the fatigue of the day was all put behind his head, reading this letter over and over again, although Zhang Shuangqun was a lively girl, he never thought of marrying as a wife, but after Bu Shengguang's tossing, he also felt a little interesting, especially Zhang Shuangqun had agreed to communicate in the letter.
A few days later, Zhang Shuangqun suddenly received a notice from the headquarters of the Eastward Column, asking her to go to the headquarters, and the chief wanted to talk to her about work, Zhang Shuangqun did not dare to slack off for a moment, put down the matter in his hand, and rushed to the headquarters as quickly as possible.
Chen Zaidao inspected the factory
Zhang Shuangqun was suddenly confused and said that he had just received a notice from the headquarters that the chief wanted to talk to me about work. At first, Chen Zaidao was also in the clouds, but he also reacted immediately: "Oh, you were deceived by Chief of Staff Bu..."
Although Bu Shengguang was "secretly operating", Chen Zaidao also had some words to say to Zhang Shuangqun, but for a moment and a half he did not know how to say it, and paced back and forth in the room, Zhang Shuangqun sat aside, did not dare to ask, and finally said the letter written by Zhang Shuangqun.
After Chen Zaidao finished speaking, Zhang Shuangqun lowered his head, his face was flushed, his heart beat faster, and he was suddenly a little breathless.
Just when Zhang Shuangqun's head was blank, Chen Zaidao said firmly: Our affairs are so fixed!
In November 1938, Chen Zaidao and Zhang Shuangqun officially married and walked a 54-year journey together.
Chen Zaidao and Xu Shiyou
Chen Zaidao and Zhang Shuangqun have a total of 5 children, most of whom have become talents useful to the country, but only the eldest son, Chen Dongping, is the most disappointing to Chen Zaidao.
Chen Dongping was born in the war years, because At that time Chen Zaidao had already held an important leadership position in the army, he was busy with official duties, and he had less to ask about the children's education; after Chen Dongping was born, he inevitably followed his parents to the war and suffered some crimes, so when conditions permitted, he tried his best to meet the requirements of his children in all aspects.
And because Chen Dongping's father was Chen Zaidao, who had made great achievements in the Chinese revolution, others were more polite to him, as long as he did not do anything out of the ordinary, basically turned a blind eye, over time, let Chen Dongping gradually develop a more self-contained personality, do everything himself, often provoke wrong, especially after entering the rebellious period, more and more uncontrollable, not only to leave his studies aside, but also to secretly rent a house outside his family, and seek pleasure with the same degenerate classmates.
Chen Zai said that this was not the way to go on, and decided to send him to the Kazakh military industry, let him be militarized and manage, and suppress his son's bad habits.
Kazakh military industry was the top military academy in China at that time, which was formed by Chen Zaidao's old partner Chen Geng in the past, and had cutting-edge specialties such as missiles.
Considering the need for secrecy, the superiors believe that the children of revolutionary cadres are relatively reliable politically, so many children of high-ranking cadres have been "guaranteed" to study in the cutting-edge majors of The Kazakh military industry, and Chen Dongping also entered the Kazakh military industry according to the relevant procedures in this context.
Chen Dongping, who is in the habit of "debauchery" outside, is very uncomfortable after entering the Kazakh military industry, getting up on time every day, studying, training, waist pain, but because the father of many classmates is higher than Chen Zaidao, they did not say anything, but also in accordance with the rules and regulations of the school, after a period of time, Chen Dongping "seems" to begin to adapt, the behavior is still a checkpoint.
But after a year or two of studying in The Kazakh military industry, Chen Dongping began to "old fritters", superficial inspection, secretly still corrupt and degenerate, is the worst grade in the class, but also the worst performance among the high-ranking cadres, and often ask for leave without problems, the dean of the college Liu Juying's military rank is only major general, and his father is a general, so as long as Chen Dongping goes to ask for leave, the leaders will approve.
Chen Zai said
Chen Dongping found that this was a "loophole", out of control, often late and early, going outside to mix with fox friends. In the end, Chen Dongping directly asked the school for half a year's leave on the grounds of "having a serious illness" and asked to go home to recuperate.
During this period, when the two sides of the strait were at their most tense, Chiang Kai-shek was clamoring for a counter-offensive against the mainland in Taiwan, not only making military preparations but also propagating political propaganda, and opening up a series of radio columns aimed at the mainland, such as "Voice of Taiwan."
These radio programs are most in line with Chen Dongping's "taste", often taking advantage of his parents' work time to hide in the room and eavesdrop.
These programs constantly belittled the Chinese mainland, exalted Western countries, and described New China as useless, but Chen Dongping listened to these rumors, thought of his current living environment, and gradually longed for the "world of flowers and flowers" in the West.

But although Chen Dongping was born in the jiangmen family, he underestimated the anti-special ability of China's public security intelligence department, and just when Chen Dongping was dreaming at home and waiting for foreign spies to respond, the letter was quickly seized by the Hubei public security organs.
Although Chen Dongping used a pseudonym, the police quickly followed the vine and found that the letter was written by Chen Dongping, and the tricky thing was that Chen Dongping's identity was not simple, he was the son of the founding general Chen Zaidao.
During the strike hard
Adhering to the principle of "saving people," it was decided to expel Chen Dongping from his student, regimental, and military ranks, and sentence him to two years of re-education through labor.
