In 1951, Wuhan, Hubei Province, caught a man who had been a traitor in the War of Resistance Against Japan, had done many bad things, and after a trial, was sentenced to death.
However, just as he was preparing to execute him, Chen Yixin, director of the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department, suddenly called and said that this person must not be killed!
This person, named Huang Biao, is from Qiuyang County, Hubei Province.
Born in 1895, Huang Biao lost his father at a very young age, and in desperation, his mother had to take him out to beg and suffered a lot.
And what's worse is that once when he went out to beg, Huang Biao actually broke up with his mother!
Huang Biao was too young to remember the way home, so he could only sit in the same place and cry helplessly. Fortunately, a Taoist leader passed by, adopted him, and taught him martial arts. Moreover, with the help of this Taoist chief, Huang Biao later found his mother.
In 1925, Huang Biao had already practiced a good martial art, and he was very moralistic, so he was quite famous in the local area. Once, the local local warlords exploited too much, and Huang Biao could not bear to see it, so he organized hundreds of people and launched an uprising.
But unfortunately, although Huang Biao had a good martial art, he still could not resist the guns, and the uprising ended in failure.
This failure also made Huang Biao realize that he could not fight the reactionaries on his own, so he was introduced to the Communist Party of China.
With his own martial arts and firm belief in revolution, Huang Biao was soon recognized by his superiors, and later under the instructions of his superiors, Huang Biao returned to his hometown, established a base area, and developed revolutionary forces.
However, for some reason, Huang Biao had to leave his hometown again.
After leaving his hometown, Huang Biao had a coincidence and made contact with the big gang hongmen at that time, and with the help of hongmen, huang biao opened a tea house as a cover, which was actually an intelligence transfer station.
In 1937, Japan launched a full-scale invasion of China, Huang Biao's hometown also quickly fell, the Japanese in order to facilitate management, they found Huang Biao, hoping that he could join the Japanese camp, high-ranking official Houlu casually picked.
However, Huang Biao was full of enthusiasm and had long been prepared to sacrifice for the country, so even though the Japanese used all kinds of means and all kinds of threats and inducements, they could not shake Huang Biao.
The Japanese did not stop until they reached their goal, and constantly looked for trouble for Huang Biao, and Huang Biao's tea house encountered great difficulties, fortunately, Huang Biao was quite famous in the local area, and the Japanese did not dare to kill him blatantly.
Fast forward to 1940, when Huang Biao was busy at home, a group of people suddenly came in and changed his fate.
When this group of people came to Huang Biao, they were all in tatters, looking no different from beggars, but when Huang Biao saw their faces clearly, they were immediately excited, because the leader was his former leader Li Renlin!
Huang Biao quickly invited everyone to sit down and ordered his family to hurry up and cook.
After a simple meal, Li Renlin said something, which made Huang Biao's heart immediately excited.
Originally, Li Renlin heard that the Japanese planned to let Huang Biao do the traitorous thing, and after organizing discussions, he hoped that Huang Biao could pretend to agree to the Japanese, but in fact, he should cooperate with the outside and cooperate with the comrades outside to jointly attack the Japanese.
Although Huang Biao did not want to be a traitor from his heart, what Li Renlin said also made him very excited, if he could really go deep into the tiger's den and get the internal intelligence of the Japanese, it would definitely help the great cause of the Chinese's War of Resistance, so that even if he went to the soup and was crushed to pieces, he would be extremely glorious!
Therefore, Huang Biao agreed to Li Renlin and entered the Base Camp of the Japanese.
The Japanese were very happy about the arrival of the yellow label, and in order to show their attention to the yellow label, they directly entrusted it with a heavy responsibility.
After joining the Japanese, Huang Biao began his career as a spy, while doing things for the Japanese, he paid close attention to the movements of the Japanese and passed on information to the anti-Japanese soldiers in time.
With the help of Huang Biao, the local anti-Japanese activities went very smoothly, and the revolutionary contingent became stronger little by little. Once, a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were captured, and it was Huang Biaoli who cooperated with the outside world and successfully rescued them.
However, what Huang Biao did not expect was that his behavior had brought unintended consequences to his family.
Because of Huang Biao's special status, only he and a few people from his superiors knew, even his own mother did not know, so when the mother learned that her son had become a traitor, she was very sad, and finally chose to commit suicide to thank the countrymen!
Before her death, her mother also left a suicide note, which read: "The old body is unfortunate, gives birth to a sinful son, confesses to the thief as the father at the time of national disaster, sells his body for glory, aids and abetts abuse, and plays for the tiger." What he has done is tooth-piercing, and he is the scum of the yellow gate and the evil seed of the yellow. The old man was born without being able to face the world, and died to see his ancestors. alack! Even if there is death, it is difficult to wash away the shame of old age. After the death of the old man, the three grandchildren left behind, the eldest grandson passed under the name of the second son, the second grandson passed under the name of the third son, and the younger grandson was raised by the Jiaoshu clan... After the death of the old body, he was dressed as a simple person, but his face was covered with two layers of white cloth to show that the old body had no face to see the ancestors. ”
After Huang Biao learned that his mother had committed suicide, he cried loudly, and after reading his mother's suicide note, his heart was like a knife, and he did not want to die.
However, Huang Biao knew what he was doing, and could only swallow this bitter wine and continue to "help" the Japanese.
It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945 that Huang Biao finally returned to the organization and was arranged by Li Renlin to be the deputy commander of the Hanyuan Headquarters of the Xiangnan Military Sub-district of the New Fourth Army, equivalent to the deputy division level.
However, soon after, Huang Biao was seriously wounded in a battle, the troops were scattered, and the guards around Huang Biao did not know where to go, so Huang Biao had to recuperate from his wounds while waiting for the troops. However, he did not wait.
In the blink of an eye, in 1951, after the founding of New China, the liquidation of former counter-revolutionary figures began, and Huang Biao was arrested because he had been a "traitor" before, and naturally became the object of trial.
Because of Huang Biao's secret identity, people in his hometown thought that he was really a traitor, plus his former leader Li Renlin did not know where to go, and no one knew his true identity, so he was sentenced to death.
However, just when Huang Biao was about to be shot, Chen Yixin, director of the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department, suddenly called and said that this person had made great achievements and must not be killed!
However, because the information of that year had been lost, Chen Yixin could not prove the identity of Huang Biao, and after asking Li Kenong, Huang Biao was exempted from the death penalty, but was also sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Unfortunately, on August 3, 1953, Huang Biao died of illness in Wuchang Prison, and could not wait for the day when the truth came out.
It was not until 1979, after a retrial, that Huang Biao was finally rehabilitated and acquitted.
In 2014, Huang Biao was relocated and buried in the Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery in the Western Soviet District of Xiang'e, and locals come to pay tribute every year.
In fact, there are many such people in history who are willing to be wronged for the sake of the revolution, but in the end they regret to die, which makes people sigh.
Therefore, when we sing the praises of those founding generals, we must not forget these people who bear the burden of humiliation, they are even more worthy of our respect!
