For Li Dazhao, everyone should be very familiar with it, as the early leader of the CCP, the social influence is very large. As the first person to spread Marxism in China, he actively propagated advanced ideas and was bent on saving poor and backward China. This made him "hated" by some people, bent on killing the rest.
Zhang Zuolin, the king of the northeast, regarded him as an enemy and ordered him to be arrested and "tortured" many times. In 1927, Li Dazhao was ordered to be hanged by him, and the middle lasted 40 minutes, which surprised many people. It was not until 24 years later, after an investigation by the relevant departments, that the truth of the matter was restored.
He was ordered to be arrested by Zhang Zuolin
Li Dazhao was an early leader of the Communist Party of China, graduated from a higher university, and has a strong sense of family and country. He lived in a period of chaos in the Republic of China, when there were many warlords and the people's lives were very difficult. He was very worried about the current situation in China, with warlords running rampant at home and imperialism outside. This made him very anxious, seeing the victory of the October Revolution in Russia, which made him see hope and lament that China would follow suit in the future.
At that time, the new culture movement was popular in China, and society spread new ideas, but there were still many opposition forces. As for Li Dazhao's active dissemination of Marxism, it was quite nervous, and the representative was Zhang Zuolin in the northeast. He has a lot of influence in Beijing, and he is bent on maintaining his position, and he hates Li Dazhao's idea of changing the status quo of society.
In fact, the two people have known each other for a long time, and Zhang Zuolin is not "strange" to Li Dazhao. After all, the CCP's power led by Li Dazhao is constantly growing, and in order to propagate new ideas, demonstrations will be held on weekdays. This made Zhang Zuolin feel like a big threat. The belief that if it is not addressed, it will affect its own status, and these have been used as examples in the past.
As the king of the northeast for a time, Zhang Zuolin was most afraid of being taken away by others. Some of Li Dazhao's actions, in his view, are constantly challenging his own bottom line, especially trying to persuade senior generals in the army. The side of the bed does not allow others to snore, which is Zhang Zuolin's mentality at this time, worried that the CCP forces will "expand" into the troops, which zhang Zuolin will not tolerate. In April 1927, he was arrested.
"Cruel hand" to Li Dazhao
However, Zhang Zuolin soon found that after the arrest of Li Dazhao, the crisis was not resolved. This person is a "hot potato", Li Dazhao's social influence is still quite large, after the person was arrested, the reaction from all walks of life was very strong. Some well-known people in society constantly demanded that Li Dazhao be released, and things became more and more serious.
This influence makes Zhang Zuolin, which is a very headache and needs to be solved quickly. It is feared that if it is not done, it will face greater external pressure at that time, and it must be solved immediately. How to deal with this matter is on his desk. An accurate plan must be come up with immediately, otherwise there will be a change.
In fact, zhang Zuolin's men have different views on how To deal with Li Dazhao, some advocate killing, and some oppose it. For example, Zhang Xueliang's opinion is to oppose killing, which makes Zhang hesitate in his heart. At that time, Zhang Zuolin was planning to negotiate with the Northern Expeditionary Army, and considering Li Dazhao's special status, he was worried that it would not be conducive to negotiations. If Li Dazhao is killed, then it will be limited to passivity. But in the end he made an important decision, and under great pressure, he put the great man to death.
At the beginning, Zhang Zuolin wanted to make Li Dazhao submit to himself, which was the best result. Therefore, people are tortured to extract confessions, and if they want to force them to surrender, even if they can't, they still want to steal some information from them. However, from the day of arrest, Li Dazhao had made preparations for righteousness and resolutely refused to surrender, which also made Zhang Zuolin very headache. However, when things reached a stalemate, Chiang Kai-shek rebelled, completely dispelling Zhang Zuolin's biggest "concerns" and letting him kill Li.
Tortured before death
Li Dazhao has many identities, he is a teacher at Peking University, a patriot, or a revolutionary. These identities have made him respected by everyone, and if Zhang Zuolin uses the "attitude" towards those political enemies, it will inevitably cause great controversy from the outside world. Therefore, he had to push Li Dazhao into the so-called "courtroom" for trial, but he did not expect that Li Dazhao's performance in the courtroom seemed to be different from what he expected.
He naturally did not approve of the "arrangement" charged by the judge, and listed in court the various disasters caused by warlords and imperialism to China. This left the judges sitting on it speechless, with no way to convict him. However, Zhang Zuolin had no intention of sparing him at all, and after clarifying Chiang Kai-shek's attitude, he ordered a trial of Li Dazhao.
In fact, this is a formality, and it is less than an hour after being tried to be sentenced to death and immediately executed. At that time, Li Dazhao had only one request, to carry out the death penalty and not to be shot. Zhang Zuolin also specially prepared a gallows, and on April 28, 1927, this great man did not wait for the day of the victory of the revolution and left this world. The punishment itself is painful, making one wonder why it was executed for 40 minutes and what happened in between.
In 1951, the Public Security Bureau arrested an agent named Yan Zhenlang in an arrest operation, who had served Zhang Zuolin. He also participated in the arrest of Li Dazhao that year, and he was considered to be an insider, and it had been 24 years since he was killed. In order to explore the truth of that year, the relevant departments questioned him and learned about the participants of that year. According to the clues he provided, all those involved in the arrest were arrested. From their mouths, they knew that when Li Dazhao was hanged, he was actually tortured three times, and how much of a crime he had to suffer.
The truth is heart-wrenching
In fact, this gallows was just bought, no one had used it before, and Li Dazhao was the first person. Some people just use him to "practice", and the most important thing is that there are people above who have instructed them to torture Li Dazhao and make him worse off than dead. The specific execution process is to let the person stand in the gallows, press the switch, and the person is hanged in the air.
When you are about to lose your breath, hold the person up, untie the rope, and wait until it is difficult to breathe. Then continue to repeat the same action, such a painful experience, Li Dazhao has experienced three times. It lasted for 40 minutes, and how much pain was experienced in the middle was really beyond ordinary people's imagination. When Li Dazhao died, he was only 38 years old, which can be said to be a major "loss" for the CCP.
I don't know if it was God who opened his eyes, Li Dazhao was executed the following year, and Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese in Huanggutun. It seems that there is providence in the darkness, and this is his retribution for mutilating others. The pain he suffered before he died was somewhat "similar" to the pain he had let others experience.
brief summary
Now that the years have passed, everyone may not be as familiar with Li Dazhao's deeds as before. But his outstanding contribution to the cause of the revolution will not be forgotten by everyone. All his life he struggled in New China, unswervingly to the death, and sacrificed his precious life. Because there are so many comrades like "Li Dazhao", we have a happy life now.
