"Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and will not return it until the Loulan is broken." The young people who threw themselves into the revolutionary War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression were full of enthusiasm for defending their families and defending the country. But there are also a small number of comrades who, after throwing themselves into the revolution, are timid in the face of danger, are moved by interests, and are shaken by temptations. In the end, he lost his original intention and embarked on the road of no return for treason and treason.
As one of the comrades who threw himself into the revolution in the early days of our country, Lin Baisheng actively led students to march in the streets during the May Fourth youth campaign to pass on his advanced ideas, and was also sent to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow for further study, and after returning to China, he was qualified as a political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy.
So how did he get on his own path of treason? Let's find out.
Patriotic in his early years
In 1902, Lin Baisheng landed in Maoming City, Guangdong Province, the family is a Nanyang overseas Chinese scholar family, Lin Baisheng has also had a great interest in classical books since childhood, in the middle school period with excellent results ranked among the best, over the years to read a lot of books. In 1920, he was admitted to the present-day Lingnan University in Hong Kong, where he began to study more diligently.
In 1919, after the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, its spirit quickly set off a wave of enthusiasm throughout the country. Workers and students from all walks of life took to the streets in protest and to the government through their own radical actions to achieve the purpose of changing the situation. Lin Baisheng was also greatly influenced by this, and repeatedly followed people from all walks of life to the streets to convey advanced ideas.
However, in 1923, the Guangzhou school collective strike, at this time in the school is very influential and appealing Lin Baisheng, in the classroom very radical leftist speech, this matter was known to the school, in order to show warning to choose to expel Lin Baisheng from the school.
After Being Expelled, Lin Baisheng was introduced to Wang Jingwei and was qualified as a secretary. No one ever expected that this was the beginning of Lin Baisheng's original intention change. Lin Bai is full of vitality and resourcefulness, and is deeply loved by Wang Jingwei, and slowly grows into Wang Jingwei's cronies, and recognizes Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun as his mother.
In 1925, Stalin founded the Moscow Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, which specialized in chinese advanced figures, with the intention of cultivating the advanced forces of Chinese communism. As Wang Jingwei's closest subordinate, Lin Baisheng was also greatly recommended and successfully sent to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow for further study.
At Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, Lin Baisheng deeply studied the history of China's revolutionary movement and the overall pattern and situation in China, and achieved good research results. But for the firearms course, Lin Baisheng refused to stay away, and Lin Baisheng, who has always called himself a literati, has only worked academic research from beginning to end, and has never been cold to cold firearms.
After the Zhongshan Incident in 1926, Wang Jingwei's influence within the Kuomintang plummeted, much worse than before. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of the situation and vigorously called for the cultivation of his own cronies within the Kuomintang, and his position soared. At this time, Lin Baisheng was asked to return to China urgently and serve as a political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy.
Brilliant electricity
After Lin Baisheng returned to China, he always accepted Wang Jingwei, maintained absolute loyalty and follow-up, and created weekly magazines such as Nanhua Daily. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army launched an all-out invasion of China, and for a time patriotic people poured out one after another, holding high the patriotic banner to resist Japan to the death.
However, Wang Jingwei was opportunistic at this time, and as a senior General of the Kuomintang, he was not only indifferent to Japan's heinous acts of aggression, but also turned against him and published the theory of Sino-Japanese peace.
Japan's intention to invade was well known, and Wang Jingwei still hyped up Sino-Japanese peaceful and communist governance at this time, which was undoubtedly treason against the enemy. At this time, Wang Jingwei also wrote a notorious yandian, and the main content of the article was to talk about the perspective of Sino-Japanese co-governance.
And how was this article published? It is through Lin Baisheng's South China Daily. As soon as Yandian was published, it immediately caused many insults and resistance from truly patriotic young people in the society at that time, but Lin Baisheng still stood with Wang Jingwei at this time, continuously instilling his pro-Japanese theories to the people, which had a great bad impact on the anti-Japanese action at that time.
In the personal activities that followed, Lin Baisheng simply went down the wrong path to the end, and he launched the famous Three Prohibitions Movement, one of which was the prohibition of big smoke. The original intention of this campaign was good, but Lin Baisheng, who had great influence in society, called on nearly a thousand student groups to smash the smoke house and destroy the smoke, but he privately sold the seized opium.
Later, Lin Baisheng directly extended from the cultivation of opium to processing and sales, and did his own one-stop business of big smoke. From the patriotic anti-smoking ban that was severely cracked down at the beginning to the large tobacco sold by himself today, Lin Baisheng can be seen to be a person without the slightest bottom line.
Execution, death penalty
After eight years of bitter resistance, in 1945 Japan announced its unconditional surrender, at this time Lin Baisheng knew that he could not end well in China, so he fled to Japan. In October of the same year, Lin Baisheng was arrested by He Yingqin in Japan and shipped to China, and on May 25, 1946, the Nanjing court held a trial against Lin Baisheng.
In court, Lin Baisheng was full of words, and his mouth was still as hard as iron in front of the mountain, claiming that what he had done before was for the reform of the motherland, and the various results of the subsequent evolution were also uncontrollable results produced under the guidance of environmental factors.
But no matter how eloquent he was, all the treasonous acts he had committed were distinct, so Lin Baisheng was sentenced to death.
Lin Baisheng, who prides himself on being a national hero, walked to the execution ground wearing a brand-new suit and bright myopic glasses. Before walking to the execution ground, he said to the execution site personnel and onlookers: "I heard that when you executed Mr. Siping before, you would tear up his clothes, which is unacceptable to me, and I am a decent point where a literati should go." ”
After he said this, he staggered to the execution ground, and when he was slowly moving forward, one of the execution site personnel suddenly stepped out, aiming at the back of Lin Baisheng's head with a shot, and with a "thud" sound, Lin Baisheng fell to the ground in response.
Then the sheriff came to him again, aimed at his forehead and shot him again, thoroughly understanding Lin Baisheng's life, and also making his decent request fulfilled.
brief summary:
The so-called dragon slayers eventually become evil dragons, and many young people in this world have embarked on extremely lofty ideals at the beginning of their endeavors, and in this chaotic world, they have been riding through thorns and thorns.
Lotus flowers can still come out of the mud without staining, but not everyone is born a lotus, the dazzling sun still rises in the east and sets in the west to usher in day and night, not to mention people's beliefs and ideals, it is not terrible to lose the way, what is terrible is that there is no return to the lost way.
