1949 On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, with the sound of a gunshot, a man who was tied up and shackled fell in a pool of blood, and he was executed for the crime of maiming patriots and doing things for the Japanese.
However, what was unexpected was that a year later, this person was posthumously recognized as a martyr by our party, but the reason was not announced, and in 1986, the party organization once again posthumously recognized him as a martyr.
This person's name is Zhu Datong, and this picture with a smile on his face was inadvertently captured by an American reporter before his execution; it is difficult for us to imagine that this is a scene of a traitor about to be executed, and only a hero can have the courage and eyes to see death as a homecoming; a traitor and traitor Should be ashamed and afraid of death in the face of death, and when the truth is revealed, people will know the meaning behind the smile.
Zhu Datong was born in 1907 in a small mountain village in Xiao County, Anhui Province, did not graduate from middle school because of the war and chaos of his family situation and other problems helplessly dropped out of school, in his hometown as a teacher, when China's rights and interests in the Paris Peace Conference were violated, the wave of the May Fourth Movement also swept to the small mountain village, young Zhu Datong was deeply shocked, this incident also planted in his heart to save the country' wish, in the days of school teaching, he also began to contact more advanced ideas, more yearning for the Communist Party.
In 1928, Zhu Datong officially joined the Communist Party and became an underground worker, he began to pass on information for the party organization, good knowledge and excellent courage, in just a few years, he became a middle-level cadre of the party organization, he also served as the secretary of the Xiaoxian County Party Committee and other positions, the usual work in addition to passing on information for the organization, but also responsible for the organization of the development of revolutionary comrades, participation in the organization's activities and deployment, etc., but the underground work is always full of ups and downs.
In 1932, the Japanese army occupied Qingdao Jinzhou and other places, and when the whole people should resist Japan, the old Chiang Kai-shek was bent on keeping the outside world at the inside first, and adopted a policy of non-resistance against the Japanese army, but instead aimed the muzzle of the gun at our party comrades, Zhu Datong, who had been doing the work of the literati, could not resist the restlessness in his heart, and he wanted to do something for the organization for the compatriots through practical actions.
Zhu Datong united patriotic compatriots in his hometown of Xiao County and planned an activity against the Nationalist army, the Zhangjiazhai Rebellion, but after all, he was young and inexperienced, and he had no experience in armed struggle, this battle was unsurprisingly defeated, and he was also exposed to the enemy's eyes, and in desperation Zhu Datong was forced to start his absconding career, and this activity also became the first turning point in his later life.
In 1934, the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup broke out, Zhu Datong, who had been on the run for two years, was once again hunted down by the Nationalist army, and in the face of the brutal behavior of the Nationalist army, under heavy pressure, Zhu Datong defected to the Kuomintang, from a patriotic Communist Party member to a nationalist agent who brutally harmed his compatriots.
One of the most famous is the arrest of Guo Zihua, one of the founders of our party in Zaozhuang in the early days, when he was the secretary of the Sulu Yuwan Special Committee, and many people in Zaozhuang still remember Mr. Guo Zihua.
In 1936, mr. Guo Zihua went to a medicine shop in Zaozhuang to disguise his identity and carry out underground work according to the orders of his superiors, but before he reached the work site, he was arrested by Zhu Datong.
However, at that time, this incident became Zhu Datong's ladder up the ladder of the Kuomintang; during the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the old Chiang Kai-shek still had a lot of mustard problems with our party, and Zhu Datong, who was well aware of the thoughts of his superiors, began to return to his hometown of Xiao County, wantonly slandered our army, and made our party's work in the local area progress very difficult, from a communist party that called for patriotism to a lackey of the national army.
However, Zhu Datong's strange behavior was far from over; in 1941, Zhu Datong was originally ordered to attack the office of the New Fourth Army in Xiao County, and the funny result was that he was not only defeated by the New Fourth Army, but was later arrested by the Japanese army.
All these acts have been despised and hated by the people of the whole country, but remember that after his death, he was posthumously recognized as a martyr by our Party.
When Zhu Datong was scolded by the people, he did indeed do some indignant things, obeying the command of the Japanese army, he began to do some things against his heart, many innocent people of the soldiers' families were killed because of him, and after the Japanese surrender and the defeat of the Nationalist army, Zhu Datong joined the Sun Wen Revolutionary Alliance and began to persuade the comrades of the Nationalist army to revolt, and this act was naturally hated by Lao Jiang.
In 1949, on the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, Zhu Datong was arrested by the Nationalist army, and together with him, three underground workers of our party were very sad about other comrades, and the common people were very sad, only Zhu Datong, the people were indignantly scolding, throwing rotten eggs on him, but Zhu Datong just smiled, safely accepted the execution bookmark, and showed a very satisfied smile.
A year later, without any explanation, our party posthumously regarded Zhu Datong as a martyr, and from the time he defected to the Kuomintang and surrendered to the Japanese army, he had already become a person who committed the most heinous crimes in the hearts of the people, but in fact, he was a red agent, a person who was in the heart of the Nationalist army and was in the heart of the Communist Party.
Although some data show that it was Zhu Datong who designed and arrested Guo Zihua that year, in fact, Mr. Guo Zihua also participated in underground activities in 1936 and also held many important positions after the founding of the Country, perhaps Mr. Guo Zihua was indeed arrested that year, and then Mr. Zhu Datong was released from prison, otherwise people who held high positions after the founding of the Country could not look at the people who had betrayed him and were posthumously regarded as martyrs.
Fifty years after Mr. Zhu Datong's death, a pamphlet entitled "Deeply Remembering and Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Zhu Datong" was printed, in which the responsible persons of the underground party of the CPC and the responsible persons of the Sun Wenist League listed information to justify Mr. Zhu Datong's name.
It was only at this time that people discovered that they truly believed that Mr. Zhu Datong was a red agent, and like the male protagonist in the lurking kite, they only hid their identities and worked for the party organization in the enemy's camp, and on the one hand, they were in the enemy's camp, on the other hand, they provided intelligence for our party, and they also had to do some things against their conscience in order to win the enemy's trust.
It is a pity that Mr. Zhu Datong did not see the founding of New China in the end, and his generous smile was probably because he had already understood that the Communist Party would win a great victory in the near future, and his smile was calm and calm, but until now, many people still remembered and hated him, and many people did not know him at all
Zhu Datong, a gritty red agent underground worker.
