"The Book of Han and the Biography of Chen Tang": "Yan Weiwu is more diligent than Uncle Fang and Ji Fu, and The Meritorious Service is better than Qi Huan and The Second Master." ”
From ancient times to the present, merit and fault are not the same thing, and the two cannot be discussed together, just as the Son of Heaven breaks the law and the common people sin together, no matter how much merit this person has, or how noble his status is, once he makes a mistake, he must accept the corresponding punishment, so as to reflect the fairness of society.
The merits are incomparable
There are many such people in the history of our country, who have made great contributions when they were alive and left their names in the annals of history, but because they made irreparable mistakes, they finally ushered in a tragic end. There are two such people in the Book of Han, they are Kuang Heng and Cai Lun.
The former left us with the idiom of chiseling the wall to steal the light, and all the way to the official to the chancellor; the latter improved the papermaking technique and made paper more popular. However, these two famous figures in Chinese history still failed to escape punishment because they committed mistakes, one was relegated to the rank of a common man, and the other committed suicide in fear of sin.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many heroic figures of the War of Resistance appeared throughout the country from top to bottom, and when faced with foreign invasion, they showed a high degree of enthusiasm for serving the country and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the war. However, merit and fault are two different things, even if a person has merit during the War of Resistance, then this does not mean that he can get a gold medal of exoneration, and once he breaks the law, he will still be severely punished.
Two-gun old lady
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we were impressed by many people, including an old lady. This "two-gun old lady" does have her own person, very famous in the northeast region, and her real name is Zhao Hongwenguo. Zhao Hongwenguo was born in a lonely aristocratic family in the northeast region, although the family business has declined, but still exceeded his peers by many, so when he was young, Zhao Hongwenguo lived a good life for a long time.
As Zhao Hongwenguo grew older, she began to practice housework while learning embroidery like other girls of the same age, looking like a showgirl, at this time, no one could think that this honest girl in front of her would actually kill the enemy for the country on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war. The reason why her fate changed was due to Zhao Hongwenguo's married son, that is, Zhao Tong, who had a prominent performance in the anti-Japanese battlefield. Unlike his parents, when Zhao Dong was born, it was the era of China's external and internal troubles, and the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China was inevitable, Zhao Tong deeply realized that if he wanted to save the country, there was only one way to resist, he did not hesitate, he formed an anti-Japanese volunteer army in his hometown, and Zhao Tong's mother, Zhao Hongwenguo, also joined this team.
At this time, Zhao Hongwenguo was already an old man who had passed the age of flower armor, and her neighbors persuaded her not to go out to kill the enemy, but she herself did not think so, Zhao Hongwenguo never regarded herself as an old man, but like those young people, she hoped to contribute to the stability of the country. The anti-Japanese volunteer army formed by the mother and son in the northeast region has become more and more famous, and its number has gradually increased, and it has formed an armed force that cannot be underestimated, and even Jiang, who is far away in Chongqing, has invited Zhao Hongwen to meet with the congress.
Going astray
After an extremely arduous war of resistance, we finally won the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, but the domestic situation has never improved, and a new war will break out at any time. In this war, which concerned the fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people, Zhao Hongwenguo stood against the people and became a tool for the enemy to exercise monopoly rule.
It can be seen from this that Zhao Hongwenguo made meritorious contributions to the War of Resistance in this life, but because he did one thing, he completely disgraced her reputation, that is, after the war, he did not consider the interests of the people, but instead began to engage in personal arbitrariness and dictatorship in an attempt to return to that era of war and chaos. In the reactionary activities she planned, Zhao Hongwenguo brutally killed hundreds of ordinary local people, and has completely transformed from a hero of the War of Resistance into a blood-stained executioner.
After the end of the Liberation War, Zhao Hongwenguo was arrested according to law and sentenced to shooting. Throughout her life, if we only look at the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan alone, her behavior is worthy of our affirmation and praise, but after the end of the War of Resistance, she walked on a wrong path, never escaped from it, and eventually set herself on fire.
epilogue
If you judge her life, then you must fully consider these two very different life experiences, so that you can make an objective evaluation. Zhao Hongwenguo made contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it is necessary to affirm it, but she did a lot of evil things after the War of Resistance, so her final outcome can only be said to be self-inflicted and the evil consequences sown by herself.
