When Japan invaded China, there were countless revolutionary fighters who sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the motherland. However, many people, because of greed for life and fear of death, did not hesitate to turn to the invaders. He also assisted the invaders in mutilating their own compatriots, becoming what people call traitors.
Xie Wendong is a big traitor, but now some TV series have washed him white, as if he is a big hero.
Escape from the crime
Xie Wendong was born in 1887, his hometown is in Dandong, Liaoning, he is a Manchu, when he was young, he once studied in private school for several years. When Xie Wendong was 16 years old, he began to take charge of the family business in the family, when he farmed silkworms and sold some livestock, which seemed to be a prosperous life. But the good times did not last long, he borrowed because of the purchase of land, but he could not repay it. To this end, he kidnapped a rich local family, and after the matter was revealed, he was chased by the police, so he had to go to Fengcheng County to hide first.
After living in Fengcheng County for a while, perhaps because his whereabouts were revealed, in 1925, Xie Wendong fled to Yilan County and lived in Taipingtun in Tulong Mountain.
When Xie Wendong first arrived in Taipingtun, he was poor and white, and his life was very difficult. However, the local area is sparsely populated, and there are many people in Xie Wendong's family, with sufficient labor, and life is rich as soon as they come and go.
Within two years, Xie Wendong also became the fifth chief of the Yilan County and the head of the self-defense regiment, which can be said to be quite powerful in the local area, but in five or six years, the Xie family became a landlord.
Throw yourself into the anti-Japanese resistance
After the "918" incident, the Japanese occupied Yilan County, and The Tulong Mountain where Xie Wendong was located naturally could not avoid being controlled by the invaders. Before long, Xie Wendong took the lead in rebelling against the invaders, which led to the removal of his post as chief of the guard.
Xie Wendong was not satisfied, and began to unite with the townspeople to form an anti-Japanese team, and counterattacked the Japanese. The team organized by Xie Wendong caused a lot of trouble to the Japanese Kou and caused the Japanese Kou a lot of headaches. It did not take long for this team to be formally absorbed by the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.
However, due to the great defects in the combat contingent, the lack of a clear political program, and the fact that they had never thought of defeating the Japanese Kou, many people joined the contingent only to safeguard their own interests, including Xie Wendong. As a result, after more than half a year of anti-Japanese activities, the anti-Japanese contingent suffered heavy losses under the double blows of the enemy's politics and military, and the original contingent of thousands of people finally only Xie Wendong escaped with more than a dozen subordinates.
At the beginning of 1935, Xie Wendong, under the persuasion of Li Huatang, once again threw himself into anti-Japanese activities, this time he joined forces with Zhao Shangzhi and with his help formally established the anti-Japanese joint army headquarters in the northeast region, but Xie Wendong served as the chairman of the military commissar.
In the first few years, the army's operations against the Japanese Kou were very smooth and achieved many results, but in 1938, the Japanese Kou increased their strength to deal with the anti-Japanese coalition forces, many people died, and some people surrendered, in just one month, Xie Wendong's eight relatives were tragically killed by the Japanese Kou, and his team was once again left with only a dozen people.
Captured and surrendered, becoming a bandit
In 1939, Xie Wendong was arrested by the Japanese Kou, and no one expected that after Xie Wendong, who had stubbornly resisted before, was arrested, he immediately chose to surrender, and after being summoned by Emperor Hirohito, he even knelt down to ask for forgiveness, and expressed remorse and willingness to serve as the most loyal slave of Japanese imperialism.
Japan gave Xie Wendong some benefits, land and some wealth, as well as the name of the so-called cadre. It was these alms that made Xie Wendong begin to die for the invaders.
For his own interests, Xie Wendong has mutilated many compatriots, and such people really have no bottom line.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xie Wendong simply became a bandit, burning and looting, and doing no evil. It has a great impact on local security. Although the Communist Party hoped that Xie Wendong would be able to change from evil to righteousness and send special negotiators to persuade him, he was already accustomed to being a bandit for nothing, so how could Xie Wendong let himself be disciplined again, so he was still obsessed.
In November 1946, Communist forces arrested Xie Wendong, and after a public trial, executed Xie Wendong in public.
epilogue
It is such a traitor that some people even tried to whitewash him in the TV series. How can Xie Wendong, who surrendered to the invaders and colluded with the invaders to mutilate his own compatriots, be called a hero?
We cannot deny his anti-Japanese behavior in the early stages, perhaps the original intention of this behavior was not for the great righteousness of the family and the country, but at that time he really made contributions to the cause of anti-Japanese resistance, but after his arrest, he was a loyal lackey of the Japanese Kou, how can he be called a hero?
Adaptation is not a random compilation, involving historical figures, it needs to be treated with caution. Now someone has whitewashed him, someone has clarified for this, and perhaps in the future, countless people will forget that this person is a traitor, not a hero.
Treat history correctly, if it only involves historical events or historical figures, do not treat it with such a casual attitude, let alone tamper with history.
