During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, just as the vast number of Chinese soldiers and civilians were working together to resist Japan, some people turned to the Japanese and became traitors. These scum betrayed the Chinese nation, turned to the aggressors, acted as their running dogs, and betrayed the interests of the country and the nation. Wang Jingwei was a notorious traitor in China's modern history, who defected to Japan at the most arduous time of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and established a Japanese puppet puppet government in the occupied areas, thus falling into the abyss of traitors. And his wife, Chen Bijun, is China's number one female traitor.
After Chen Bijun's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way, some pessimistic and disillusioned people in the Kuomintang and some people who were dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek proposed that Wang Jingwei think of a way to find a way to save the country and retreat from the enemy. Chen Bijun actively advised Wang Jingwei and advocated peace with Japan. On the matter of public investment in Japan, Wang Jingwei has been looking forward and hesitating. However, Chen Bijun took a resolute attitude and vigorously urged Wang Jingwei to break away from Chiang Kai-shek at an early date and cooperate with the Japanese. In 1940, Chen Bijun defected to the enemy with Wang Jingwei and became a traitor.
Chen Bijun played a great role in Wang Jingwei's criminal activities of betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy, and Chen Gongbo, the second-ranking figure in Wang Jingwei's traitorous clique, once made such a wonderful comment: "Mr. Wang cannot accomplish anything without Bijun, and without Bijun he will not be defeated." On November 10, 1944, Wang Jingwei fell ill and died in Japan. On August 14, 1945, the News of the Emperor of Japan's edict announcing his unconditional surrender came, and Chen Bijun was terrified. Soon after, she was arrested and imprisoned for "adultery." On October 14, 1945, Chen Bijun, his eldest daughter Wang Wengong, his second daughter Wang Wendi, his granddaughter He Bingbing, as well as Chu Minyi and the four traitors of the former guangdong provincial government, and a group of 9 people, were escorted by the gendarmes to an American military plane and sent to Nanjing. The report of the next day of the "Declaration" was cloudy: "The high court is full of pits and valleys, vying for the number one female traitor." Chen Bijun denied the traitorous behavior of the Wang puppet regime, did not recognize the fact that Wang Jingwei betrayed the country and sought glory, split the anti-Japanese camp, and signed a secret treaty with the Japanese, but openly declared: "I have more sincere admiration than ever for the irreproachable work done by the late Mr. Wang to save his country." The angry judge rang the bell several times to stop her nonsense.
Chen Bijun conspired against the enemy country in an attempt to rebel against his own country, and was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprivation of citizenship for life. All property shall be confiscated, except for the necessary living expenses of the relatives. The presiding judge added: If the defendant is not satisfied, he can appeal. The presiding judge read out the verdict against Chen Bijun in court, and when he read the sentence "Sentence to life imprisonment", Chen Bijun said: "I have the courage to shoot and the patience to go to jail!" On May 27, 1949, after the liberation of Shanghai, Chen Bijun was taken to Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison. The correctional cadre asked Chen Bijun to write a written account, and she always said that she was dizzy or chest tight or her arm was sore and numb. The correctional cadres told her that she must truthfully explain all the crimes and not conceal them. Chen Bijun rolled his eyes: "What crime did I commit?"
Qingling and He Xiangning had a deep personal relationship with Chen Bijun in their early years, and when Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun were married, He Xiangning also served as Chen Bijun's bridesmaid. He Xiangning said to Chairman Mao: "Wang Jingwei treasoned against the enemy, and Chen Bijun also ran with him and became a traitor. But after all, she was a participant, not a decision-maker. Can we take into account her physical condition and grant her amnesty? After hearing this, the chairman promised that as long as Chen Bijun wrote a confession statement, the government would issue a pardon order to release her. After Chen Bijun knew, he was silent for a long time, and finally refused. She insisted that neither Wang Jingwei nor she had betrayed the country, and that the real traitor was Chiang Kai-shek, insisting that she was not guilty. And thank you for your care and love for her. Until 1955, the reform policy of combining ideological education and humane treatment in prison began to make Chen Bijun admire from the bottom of his heart. Not only did she obey discipline, but she also began to understand the crimes of traitors that she had always refused to admit in the past. She has repeatedly expressed her review, gratitude and praise for the Communist Party in the "Thought Report".
