In 1950, he plotted against Sun Liren

The year 1950 was a crucial year in the great cause of China's reunification. New China has been born, the Kuomintang's "eight million troops" have been wiped out, and the remnants have just withdrawn to Taiwan, and their foothold is unstable. This is a good time to liberate Taiwan. While stepping up its efforts to draw up a plan for attacking Taiwan, the Chinese Communists have paid more and more attention to and stepped up the work of intelligence gathering and counter-insurgency on the secret front. Sun Liren, who was the commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang army, naturally became an important target for the struggle, and gong Yinong, the brother of gong Xitao, his wife, was a key figure in this.

One

Although the marriage between Sun Liren and Gong Xitao was arranged by sun yat-sen Sun Xize and Gong Xitao's half-brother Gong Jitao, after the marriage, the couple had a strong affection, and the two families of Sun Gong were even more intimate.

During his studies at Tsinghua, Sun Liren once broke the ureter due to an exercise accident and was suspended for a year due to treatment. Perhaps it is for this reason that he and Gong Xitao have not left children in their common life for more than 4 years after their marriage. Soon, Sun Liren went to the United States to study at the official fee.

After Sun Liren went to the United States, Gong Xitao returned to his hometown in Jinniu Countryside, Lujiang County, Anhui Province, with his in-laws. The Sun family is a big family with nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land. Gong Xitao was born into a famous family, knowledgeable and thrifty, meek and thrifty, meek and virtuous, filial piety to his in-laws, and won the love of Sun Xize and the respect of his uncles and concubines up and down. After Sun Liren returned to China, he went home to visit his parents and wanted to take Gong Xitao with him, but his grandparents were reluctant to let their daughter-in-law stay away, and Gong Xitao was also worried about his father-in-law's old age and mother-in-law's infirmity, and agreed to stay temporarily.

In October 1930, when Sun Liren was serving as the colonel of the gendarmerie teaching team of the Army, Navy and Air Force General Headquarters, he danced in the dance hall and met Zhang Jingying (Zhang Qingyang), a hunan girl who was a high school student at Nanjing Huiwen Middle School. Zhang Jingying was only 18 years old, and her father was also an officer before his death, and there was only a mother and daughter in Nanjing at that time. Soon after they met, they announced their marriage in Shanghai.

When Sun Xize heard that Sun Liren was remarried, he was very angry, and despite his old age, he traveled a long distance to Shanghai to block it, but because the wood had become a boat, he returned angrily. He said to Gong Xitao, "Li Ren is sorry for you, and it is also my second elder who delayed you." But rest assured, there is only you as a daughter-in-law in my grandson's family. Then he sent someone to send Gong Xitao to Haizhou to reunite with Sun Liren. And explain to the family, after the palanquin arrives, we must loudly inform: "The wife has arrived, go out to meet." "The purpose is to give Gong Xitao his due name." After living in Haizhou for two or three months, Zhang Jingying had great respect for Gong Xitao, called "Sister Gong", and got along very harmoniously, but because Zhang Jingying's mother lived with her, she felt inconvenienced, and she also missed her in-laws, gong Xitao returned to the old house of the Golden Bull.

In 1935, Sun Xize and his wife died of illness in Jinniu, and it was Gong Xitao who sent the second elder to the end. Sun Liren went home to mourn, and was both grateful and guilty to Gong Xitao. But Gong Xitao treated him with tolerance, did not complain a word, and won the respect of Sun Liren. After the funeral, the brothers separated their families, and the family property under the name of Sun Liren, the second house, was managed by Gong Xitao, and a portal was erected for him. After liberation, Gong Xitao has been living with his brother Gong Yinong.

Born in 1900, Gong Yinong studied at the same university in Beijing as Sun Liren, Sun studied in the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University, and Gong studied business at China University. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in order to resist Japan and save his life, in 1938, Gong Yinong destroyed his family to relieve difficulties, joined the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party, and joined the Communist Party of China in 1942, serving as a leader in finance, finance and trade for a long time. He was both a cadre of the Communist Party and a close relative of Sun Liren, and naturally became the best candidate to plot against Sun Liren.

In 1950, just after the New Year, Gong Yinong, then director of the Finance Department of the Anhui North Bank and president of the Anhui Branch of the Chinese Bank, received a notice from the Party Committee of the North Anhui District, saying that the East China Bureau wanted him to go to Shanghai as soon as possible.

After arriving in Shanghai, he was arranged to stay at the Peace Hotel, and that night, Liu Xiao, member of the Standing Committee and head of the organization department, met with him. The next night, Rao Shushi, first secretary of the East China Bureau, Chen Yi, second secretary of the East China Bureau and commander of the East China Military Region, and Liu Xiao collectively talked with him. As soon as they met, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Ah, it's Comrade Gong Yinong, we've seen it, we also played Go in Huanghuatang!" Gong Yinong said: "That was the year when the devils surrendered, I was the president of Huainan Bank, I remember that chess game, Comrade Fang Yi was also there." Then Chen Yi inquired in detail about Gong Yinong's family situation and main social relations, and then told him: "This time when I came to you, there is an important task, that is, I want to take advantage of your relationship with Sun Liren to send you to Taiwan to do the work of your sister-in-law Sun Liren. Chen Yi also said: "Sun Liren is a very patriotic general and a very capable general, and he has now been promoted to commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Army, because he studied military affairs in the United States, not from Huangpu, and Chiang Kai-shek did not trust him, and even regarded him as a potential political opponent." Now the United States is plotting to use him to oppose Chiang Kai-shek and take charge of Taiwan and separate Taiwan from China. Gong Yinong told Chen Yi: "Sun Liren and my sister have long been separated, because he remarried, the two families have contradictions, and they have not interacted with each other for many years." In 1947, when I was in northern Jiangsu, Comrade Chen Pixian talked to me about this matter. In the spring of 1949, Comrade Song Renqian also talked to me in Hefei. It is for this reason that I am afraid that I will not achieve the expected effect and did not go. Gong Yinong also said: "After I returned to Hefei after going south, I heard my sister say that except for Sun Liren's brother who went to Taiwan, Sun Liren's brother and some other relatives did not go with him. It was suggested that he find other relatives of Sun Liren and said that he would go looking for it first and then report back. Chen Yi and Rao Shushi instructed Gong Yinong to pay close attention to understanding what relatives Sun Liren still had on the mainland and to adopt appropriate methods to protect them.

After some discussion and understanding, Gong Yinong felt that Pan Zhongwen was an ideal candidate. Therefore, he quickly reported to the East China Bureau and made suggestions, which the East China Bureau quickly agreed.

Pan Zhongwen had multiple relationships with Sun Liren: Pan's wife was Sun's sister, and Pan's sister was Sun's cousin Sun Yuren's wife. In the Sun family, Pan Zhongwen is both an "uncle" and an "uncle". Pan was the director of a flour mill in Suzhou. Gong Yinong quickly sent people to find him and accompany him to Shanghai. After listening to the report, Liu Xiao stressed many times that we must pay attention to confidentiality and security. After Liu Xiao's careful arrangement, Pan Zhongwen took Chen Yi's handwritten letter in early 1950 and disguised himself as a wealthy businessman to travel through Guangzhou to Hong Kong, and then the passengers arrived in Taiwan smoothly. First find Sun Liren's brother Sun Boheng and live in his house. Two days later, Sun Liren came to Sun Boheng's house, and the two met. After meeting, the two talked about their recent situation in Taiwan and the mainland. When Sun Liren asked if Pan Zhongwen could return to the mainland, Pan explained his intentions and handed Chen Yi's letter to Sun Liren. After Sun Liren saw the letter, he pondered for a while and then asked Pan, "Why didn't Zhu De write it?" He repeatedly told Pan not to go out, not to see outsiders, and to send someone to escort him out of Taiwan as soon as possible.

After Pan Zhongwen returned from Taiwan, he first told Gong Yinong about his meeting with Sun Liren and Sun Liren's attitude. Then they rushed to Shanghai to report to Chen Yi and Liu Xiao. After hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Pan, you are worth the trip, this trip did not run in vain." "Repeated emphasis on paying attention to confidentiality. And instructed that, in order to facilitate contact, Pan should not leave Shanghai for the time being and wait for the next step. The relevant departments of the East China Bureau placed Pan in Ren Xiangli, a relatively well-paid Shanghai HSBC bank, and planned to send him to Taiwan again. Because the Kuomintang authorities cracked the case of Major General Wu Shi, deputy chief of staff of the "Ministry of National Defense," they imposed martial law to suppress chaos, and strengthened the strict examination and restrictions on those who entered Taiwan. Pan Zhongwen went to Hong Kong several times to try to go to Taiwan again without success. But the work hasn't stopped.

In 1951, Gong Yinong transferred the work of the Huaihuai Committee and lived in Bengbu, and the East China Bureau placed Pan in Bengbu, and the municipal party committee arranged for him to serve as a deputy director in the subordinate office of the Municipal People's Bank, but the salary was far less than that of Shanghai HSBC, so he had to be subsidized by the United Front Work Department of 50 yuan per month. His two-room wife was also assigned to work as a clerk at the People's Bank. In 1954, Pan Zhongwen was placed as a counselor in the provincial counselor's office that only county regimental united front targets were eligible to serve until his death in 1979.

After Gong Yinong returned to Hefei from the East China Bureau, he immediately reported to Zeng Xisheng, secretary of the party committee of northern Anhui Province. Zeng Xisheng instructed Gong Yinong: First, it is necessary to keep secrets strictly, and the smaller the scope of secrets, the better. Second, the relatives of Sun Liren who remained on the mainland should be investigated and arranged by the relevant departments, and Gong should come forward in his personal name to properly protect and take care of them.

At the beginning of 1950, when the land reform was about to begin, Sun Liping's younger brother Sun Shuping saw that some landlords had been criticized, and he knew that he was the landlord of the house, and his brother was a "war criminal", so he was very afraid and did not dare to live in the home of the Golden Bull. One day, Sun Shuping panicked and came from Jinniu to Hefei to find his second sister-in-law Gong Xitao, and his words revealed that he could not stay in the countryside anymore, and he wanted to go to hide in other places, and he did not know where to go. After Gong Yinong knew about it, he immediately asked Gong Wei, the son of the then deputy director of the Hefei Grain Office, to go to the railway station to find him back. At that time, the Hefei railway station was very simple, with only a few broken bungalows, and it was easy to find him. Then he took Sun Shuping and his wife to the bank dormitory where the Gong family lived at that time, that is, the former residence of Li Hongzhang, left them after dinner, and then arranged for them to stay temporarily for one night. The next day, the public department arranged for them to live in a private house for two or three months.

How to make Sun Shuping's life settle down, stay at ease, and not be criticized by the peasants in his hometown, Gong Yinong took a lot of thought. It so happened that soon Gong Yinong was transferred to the Zhihuai Committee stationed in Bengbu, and then Gong Wei was also transferred from Hefei to Bengbu as the manager of the trading company, so he placed Sun Shuping's family in Bengbu, far from his hometown of Jinniu. Funded by the public, he found a façade house and opened a small shop to sell tobacco and alcohol for trading companies to make ends meet. Originally, this should be drought and flood to ensure the harvest, and the family's life should no longer be a problem, but because Sun Shuping had never been in business and was not good at management, he soon even ran out of money. Later, the state implemented the policy of unified grain purchasing and marketing, and arranged for him to sell grain and oil on his behalf. In addition, the United Front Work Department also gives a monthly subsidy of 40 yuan. In 1956, Sun Shuping died of illness, and Sun Shuping's wife returned to her mother's house in the countryside with 3 young children. In the early 1960s, when two children born in Bengbu starved to death, she took her eldest son, Sun Zhida, to Hefei to ask her aunt Pan Zhongwen for help. Pan Zhongwen was helpless and found Gong Yinong. At this time, Gong Yinong had been transferred back to the provincial party committee, and through the relevant departments, he first moved the hukou of Sun Zhida's mother and son into Hefei City, where he bought rice and grain stamps; later, he tried to place the mother and son in the Long March Shoe Factory and the Honggang Construction Machinery Factory as workers, and they had money to buy rice. At that time, the eight-character policy of "readjusting, consolidating, enriching, and improving" was being implemented, and the whole country should reduce the urban population by 20 million to the countryside, and after 1958, all workers from the rural areas should be streamlined and returned to their hometowns. Changing rural hukou to urban hukou and eating and supplying grain can really be described as: "Shu Dao is difficult, it is difficult to go to Qingtian." Sun Zhida, who is now retired, talked about this past, and he said with infinite emotion: "If it weren't for the fourth uncle (Gong Yinong), my family would have disappeared a long time ago. ”

Sun Zhidu, the daughter of Sun Liren's brother Sun Boheng, was staying on the mainland because she was about to give birth, and her mother entrusted her to the care of her second mother, Gong Xitao. Therefore, in early 1949, she followed her second mother, Gong Xitao, to the Gong family, and gong Yinong placed her as a clerk in the People's Bank of China. The son he gave birth to also lived in the Gong family, was raised by the Gong family and provided for schooling, until in 1968, when he was 19 years old, Zhiqing was sent down and did not leave the Gong family.

After the supply system was changed to a low-wage system, Zeng Xisheng, secretary of the provincial party committee, planned to arrange for Gong Xitao to be a librarian of the Provincial Museum of Culture and History, so that he could have a fixed source of livelihood, but Gong Yinong refused: "My sister is still my husband!" Now I still have this ability, don't bother with the organization anymore. ”

Gong Yinong's resettlement of Sun Liren's relatives was very few in the know, except for the principal leaders of the provincial party committee and relevant departments. After liberation, one political movement after another, Gong Yinong has been safe and unscathed, obviously organizationally protecting. Unexpectedly, during the "Cultural Revolution," some people posted big posters on this matter, exposing Gong Yinong for "collaborating with the enemy" and "shielding the counter-revolution" and that he was a Kuomintang "secret agent" who hid the wife of a "Kuomintang war criminal" at home. For this reason, he was imprisoned and criticized, and suffered a lot. Gong Yinong had a hard time arguing, and in order to keep it a secret, he insisted on not telling the truth. Later, it seemed that the problem was becoming more and more complicated and more serious, and there were still many people involved, so I had to explain that this matter was personally instructed by Chen Yi, Rao Shushi, and Liu Xiao, leaders of the East China Bureau. The "special case group" went to Beijing for external investigation. It just so happened that at this time, Chen Yi was falsely accused of being a black cadre general of the "February counter-current" and was depressed, and when the secretary showed him the outline of the external transfer, Chen Yi threw the outline of the external transfer and said angrily: "Don't ask me about these things, the central authorities know!" "How can such a thing be investigated?" The "special case group" ate the closed door and went to fang Yi, minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation, although Fang Yi had been detained by the rebels and was in the process of reflecting, he still wrote the supporting materials. Fang Yi said: "Although Comrade Gong Yinong was born in a higher composition, if he is a bad person, he cannot be believed at all. Fang Yi learned that Chen Yi was unwilling to write the certification materials, so he said, "I will contact The office of Mr. Chen." Later, Chen Yi finally wrote the proof materials. This enabled Gong Yinong to be "liberated", restored to the party, and assigned to be the director of the counselor's office of the provincial revolutionary committee.

On that occasion, the Chinese Communists secretly sent Pan Zhongwen to Taiwan to contact Sun Liren, and Sun Liren's response was positive. He just felt that Chen Yi's position was not high enough, his authority was not big enough, "soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals", hoping to get the handwriting of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, which was also understandable. It should be said that this trip to Taiwan was "not in vain" and was effective. It was only when the Korean War broke out, the US Seventh Fleet entered the Taiwan Strait, and the People's Liberation Army resisted US aggression and aided Korea, and history took a turn.

Sun Liren is a filial piety, he is very respectful and practice of traditional Chinese ethics and morality of filial piety, benevolence, forgiveness, and integrity. In 1988, when he regained his freedom, he celebrated his 90th birthday, and at the solemn birthday ceremony, he held a portrait of his father in his hand. In his later years, he was homesick and always felt a lot of emotions about not being able to personally return to his hometown to worship his ancestors and visit his relatives. In April 1989, Sun Liren asked Mr. Pan Dehui, head of the "Lu Zong" Operations Bureau of the old ministry, to explore the ancestral tomb in his hometown and worship the ancestors on his behalf, and soon ordered his eldest son AnPing (born of Sun Liren's urethral illness to the United States and married to the Taiwanese girl Zhang Meiying) to return to his hometown to worship the ancestral tomb. Mr. Pan Dehui and Anping returned to their hometowns, and the author has been accompanied by them. Anping returned to his hometown for the first time, and it was this time that his father told him that there was still a yuanpi lady on the mainland, and asked him to go to the grave to worship. He specially drove to the tomb of Gong Xitao in Xiaoshu Mountain, Hefei, to kneel and sacrifice, and lovingly shouted "Big Mama! Aunt! ”

After Mr. Pan Dehui returned to Taiwan, he wrote to this writer on March 6, 1990, detailing what he had seen and heard when he returned to Taiwan, and immediately reported to Sun Liren what he had seen and heard when he returned to his hometown: "After I returned to Taiwan last year, in addition to reporting the tomb of the ancestors of the moon-shaped mountain and the old house of the Golden Bull, I especially mentioned Gong Xitao," and showed the body of the eldest lady to bid farewell to me and pay homage to the photos of the tomb of the eldest lady. I also said that the eldest bride's younger brother (who should be the older brother) had done a lot of care for the Sun family's relatives in the original hometown for decades before his death, and he bowed his head and was silent, and then he told me, 'It must be Gong Laosi (Gong Yi Agricultural Bank IV)!'" He also said: "Please write down the date and date of Gong Xitao's birth and death in detail and include it in the yuan column under the name of the family tree." ’”

Previously, Sun Liren rarely told the outside world about this marriage, and the books and periodicals involving Sun Liren's family affairs on both sides of the strait and three places also mistakenly thought that Zhang Jingying was Sun Liren's wife.

On February 8, 1991, after Sun Liren's death in His apartment in Taichung on November 19, 1991, Mr. Pan Dehui wrote to this writer saying that Sun Liren "spent most of his time in a coma from October 11 to November 19, when he was in a coma, and occasionally when he was awake, he would also say some personal feelings of life... For Gong Xitao's second grandmother, he always felt very guilty in his heart, saying that Gong Er's grandmother was a very cultured girl, and she only sacrificed and dedicated herself to the Sun family, saying that she was most sorry for Gong Er's grandmother in her life."

P.S. Gong Yinong is the author's father-in-law. During the catastrophe of the "Cultural Revolution," he was subjected to brutal criticism and strict censorship, and most of the inspection materials were written by the old people. We often had to pick up the lights and fight at night. The ins and outs and details of the plot against Sun Liren described in this article were all told to this writer by his old man at that time, and supplemented by his children Gong Wei and Gong Weili. The author's wife, Gong Weiyuan, lived with her aunt Gong Xitao and lived in the Sun family in the Jinniu countryside for a long time, until the liberation of Hefei in the spring of 1949. She knew the situation of the Sun family very well and the relationship between Sun Liren and Gong Xitao. She once told me that in the autumn of 1947, Sun Liren had taken Gong Xitao to Nanjing. Gong Xitao took her and her third sister Wei Yuan, and lived with Sun Shuping's family in a rental house at No. 40 Zhuqiao. Once Sun Liren went to visit Gong Xitao, and the two of them talked across the square table, and she stood at the table, and from time to time drilled under the table. In Nanjing, Sun Liren gave Gong Xitao a gold-shell kun watch, a fox fur coat and a small gray women's handbag containing cosmetics, which Gong Xitao has always treasured.
