In modern history, there are those who have become famous because of their military achievements, and there are those who have become famous because of their learning, but if a person is famous for escaping from prison, you will definitely feel very magical, but things have happened so really, and the protagonist of the story is named Wang Weigang.
Wang Weigang did not join the Red Army, because when he was engaged in the peasant movement in his hometown, he was arrested and imprisoned by the local landlord capitalists in collusion with the Nationalist army. The Kuomintang knew that Wang Weigang was the leader of the local Communist Party and was soft and him, but Wang Weigang never bowed his head, and the Kuomintang, who had no choice but to do anything, sentenced Wang Weigang to death, and then put him in prison first.
But Wang Weigang, who was imprisoned, did not forget the hope of life, and he began to practice long jumping in his cell in shackles in order to strengthen his body and prepare for his escape. At the same time, he also met a jianghu rogue in prison, known as Yanzi Li San.
It is said that this person was as light as Yan could fly over the wall, because he was arrested accidentally, and after entering the prison, the prison guards took strict care of him to prevent him from escaping from prison. Li San, who had no chance to escape, became good friends with Wang Weigang and passed on his skills to Wang Weigang little by little.
Subsequently, Wang Weigang took advantage of the time difference in the appeal and began to go on a hunger strike with his fellow prisoners, and the party organization reported that Wang Weigang led everyone on hunger strike, which put the Kuomintang under a lot of political pressure, and the prison was instructed by Shangfeng to meet some of Wang Weigang's demands.
But the prison guards do not like disobedient prisoners, so they often beat Wang Weigang and Yanzi Li San, Li San was imprisoned for a long time, and there were many old injuries on his body, and as a result, he did not get a new beating and screamed, and Wang Weigang also secretly swore that he would help Li San avenge his hatred.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Minister of Justice of Nanjing came to inspect the prison, Wang Weigang threw his blood coat and the indictment letter in front of the minister, and at first the prison director did not admit that he had abused the lynching, but Wang Weigang loudly questioned him how Yanzi Li San died, and the prison director did not dare to conduct an autopsy in front of the minister, so he admitted his crime, and then the prison director did not dare to beat Wang Weigang again.
Later, the prison was to be renovated, and Wang Weigang was locked up as a felon in a small cell on the second floor, fortunately, the windows here were next to the third-floor platform, and after operation, the party organization outside the prison learned of Wang Weigang's plan and secretly sent in a steel file.
Just the day before the execution, Wang Weigang broke the shackles with a steel file, and with the cooperation of his fellow prisoners, he went out of the window and used the method given to him by Li San to escape in the chaos.
The death row repeat offender escaped the day before the execution, and the media of that year naturally did not let go of this strange story, Wang Weigang's name spread throughout the country at once, and later Wang Weigang went through all kinds of hardships to come to Yan'an, and held important positions in the War of Resistance And Liberation, and the highest achieved the political commissar of the Second Column of the Central Plains Field Army.
Unfortunately, Wang Weigang missed the title because he transferred to a local work, otherwise he should have been able to receive the rank of lieutenant general.
