Speaking of the first major unsolved case in the Republic of China, it is naturally known as the assassination of Song Jiaoren, the "father of constitutionalism" of the Republic of China, because this case not only directly led to the "second revolution" that entered a state of war and affected the trend of the political situation in modern times, but more seriously, it indirectly led to warlord scuffles in the years to come, and the people of the whole country fell into the midst of fierce wars.
At 10:45 p.m. on March 20, 1913, at the Shanghai Railway Station, a train bound for Beijing was on fire, and the people on the platform were looking forward to it, and the passengers were flooded. At this time, Song Jiaoren, acting chairman of the Kuomintang, accompanied by his friends, came out of the special parliamentarian lounge at the station, and everyone laughed and walked toward the ticket gate. Suddenly, after a muffled gunshot, a bullet was fired at Song Jiaoren, and then he fell down in response to the sound, and after being sent to the hospital, the rescue was ineffective and he died at the age of 31.
When Song Jiaoren was assassinated and martyred, the whole country was shocked and indignant, and one after another demanded that the murderer be arrested as soon as possible; with the vigorous development of the investigation work, the originally confusing truth of the case was gradually revealed to the world like a bamboo shoot: the shooter who was short and strong, with a full face full of flesh, was arrested by the former military attaché of the Qing Army and a Shanxi wu shiying. After interrogation, he did not know Song Jiaoren, nor did he know who he killed, but he lived in Shanghai without a place to live, and for the 1,000 yuan ocean bounty given to him by Ying Guixin, the inspector general of Jiangsu in Shanghai and the president of the Chinese Communist Advancement Association, according to the photos provided by others, he created the "Song Case" that shocked the world.
The commander behind the scenes, Ying Guixin, once served as the chief of the administrative section of the Provisional Presidential Office in Nanjing, and Sun Yat-sen discovered that he was of poor character, treacherous and sinister, and arrogant, so he dismissed him and went to Shanghai to seek a post. Subsequently, the Shanghai Concession Patrol House urgently searched Ying Guixin's residence in the French Concession, and when nothing was found, a police detective named Zhou Nanxi made a clever move to deceive the trust of one of Ying Guixin's concubines, and obtained a large number of extremely important letters and telegrams from a small box hidden in a cave in the corner of the wall, and then pulled out another related figure, Hong Shuzu.
Hong Shuzu, formerly known as Hong Xi (洪熙), courtesy name Yinzhi (字 Yinzhi), was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, to a famous family of noble families, and was the grandson of Hong Liangji, a famous scholar during the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that after the famous door, the generation of books, the roots are red, the rich N generation. Unfortunately, at this time, when Hong Shuzu was in turmoil, when Hong Shuzu was 9 months old, the Taiping Army attacked Changzhou, his father Hong Yan died in street battles, and 17 family members threw themselves into the river, but Hong Shuzu and his mother Zhang Shi were rescued, and then relied on their uncle Hong Yanzhe to live and learn under his disciples.
Hong Shuzu was clever and clever since childhood, familiar with poetry and books, Guangxu was admitted to xiucai in four years, but his character was not good, he ate, drank, gambled, and speculated in camps, all of which were not admitted, so he spent money to buy a vacancy in the alternate path, and made a living by touring the curtain, and successively served as a scholar of Jiangxi, Pan Xia, the governor of Jiangxi, Zuo Zongtang, the minister of Chincha, and Liu Mingchuan, the governor of Taiwan, and was dismissed from his post and imprisoned for three years for the crime of embezzling public funds.
After his release from prison, Hong Shuzu did the work of a lawyer's translator in Shanghai, and with his virtue, he could not avoid being abducted and deceived, demanding money from others, and making his reputation stink. After that, he successively drilled camps under Yu Liansan, the governor of Hunan, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and Chen Kuilong, the governor of Directly Subordinate Tou, but in the end he was dismissed for corruption and bribery.
After the Wuchang Uprising, there was a north-south mediation between the Southern Revolutionary Party and the Beiyang government, and the location of the north-south mediation was in the home of Zhao Fengchang, a shanghai celebrity at the time, who was hong Shuzu's brother-in-law. As a result, Hong Shuzu also contributed a lot to the mediation of the north and south, and thus became acquainted with Yuan Shikai's subordinates Tang Shaoyi and Zhao Bingjun. These two people, Tang Shaoyi served as the first cabinet premier of the Republic of China, and Zhao Bingjun served as the third premier of the State Council, both of whom were high-ranking officials in the early days of the Republic of China. Because of the merits of the mediation between the north and the south, Hong Shuzu later served as the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under Zhao Bingjun.
Hong Shuzu also had another identity in Shanghai at that time- the "big" generation of the Qinggang, who was exactly the same generation as Ying Kuicheng. Because of this identity, Hong Shuzu came and went, and He and Ying Shuzu hooked up. Therefore, Ying Kuicheng defected to the Beiyang government and acted as an undercover agent of the Beiyang government in the southern revolutionary party, and it was he who also instructed the assassination of the Song to create the conditions.
Shortly after the assassination of the Song Dynasty, the murderers Ying Guixin and Wu Shiying were arrested one after another, and Hong Shuzu fled under the protection of Yuan, however, after Yuan died, he lost his patron, and after his death in Shanghai, his whereabouts were exposed and he was arrested and sentenced to death, which was also the first time that the Republic of China used a hanging machine, and when he was executed, because his body was too heavy and his muscles and bones were weak, he was actually in a different place, and Hong Shuzu wrote a couplet: "Serving the official government, the disaster is to the body, and there is no shame in the heart; when the world is chaotic, it is better to live than to die, where is the dust." His last words on his deathbed said, "Knowing the Destiny of Heaven is the Holy Word, and going to hell is the Buddha's promise," and it seems that he will not confess his sins until he dies.
In the case of Song Jiaoren's assassination, Yuan Shikai rebelled and acted perversely, which not only contributed to the rapid collapse of Yuan Shikai, but also caused retrogression and the rampant reactionary forces, and finally triggered the nationalist army to attack Yuan Shikai, all the way to the breaking of the bamboo, Liankeduo Province, at this critical juncture, Yuan Shikai could not bear such a blow, the illness attacked and died, and the chaotic situation of warlord division and chaos has intensified since then.
Although Hong Shuzu's name is not very good, but the bamboo shoots are good, and his descendants are better than one. Hong Shuzu had three sons, Namely Hong Shen, Hong Ji, and Hong Shuyun, who was arranged to study in the United States before his father was executed and enrolled in an unrelated ceramic engineering major at Ohio State University. At first glance, he was arranged to take refuge, but perhaps because of the upheaval in his home, his inspiration burst out and he really broke out of the theater industry. Later became a well-known modern playwright, which many people know, here Hong Shen began his own theatrical creation, in 1915 he created his own Virgo "Pear Seller".
Hong Shen became a pioneer, director, playwright, theater critic, educator and social activist of the film of the Republic of China period. Since the initial period of Chinese drama and film, he has carried out comprehensive practical and theoretical explorations such as screenwriting, directing and acting, and is one of the founders of modern Chinese drama and film. Even the name "drama" was first coined by Hong Shen. His younger brother Hong Ji was also influenced by his older brother, loved drama very much, and worked full-time as a director.
The second son, Hongji, was influenced by his elder brother Hongshen and was also full of interest in the film industry, and went to Shanghai to work hard and wanted to create his own film company. Just at that time, the development of the Republic of China's films was developing by leaps and bounds, and a large number of films with various themes emerged, and martial arts films were warmly sought after by many people as thrilling films, and later came to Hong Kong to develop and founded a team specializing in shooting action movies - Hong Jiaban.
In the 1970s, the members of the Hongjia class later became well-known figures in the Hong Kong film and television circle, and their main members were: Jackie Chan, Chen Huiyi, Chen Long, Zeng Zhiwei, Meng Hai, Lin Zhengying, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Wu, Zhong Fa, Liu Jiarong, Qian Yuesheng, Dong Wei, Zou Zhaolong, Qian Jiale, Di Wei, Wu Ma, Cao Rong, Yellow Shrimp and others. In the 19780s and 1990s, Hong Jiaban once dominated the side and produced many popular action masterpieces.
What is particularly commendable is that Hong Ji has a grandson named Hong Jinbao, in the Hong Kong film and television circle, is a set of actors, directors, action directors, producers, screenwriters, producers in one of the big name figures, and later became our household name kung fu superstar, well-known directors, are said "heroes do not ask the source", so for his family lineage, but few people deeply investigate. Later generations commented that the descendants of this Hong Shuzu can be said to be stronger than the next.
