As mentioned earlier, Huang Wei's story happened during the reform of Gongdelin Prison, and the following continues to talk about the transformation life of another senior general in the National Army in Gongdelin Prison, and see what really happened during his reform?
He was Du Yuming, a general in the Nationalist army, and Du Yuming was definitely a rare talent in the Kuomintang army; especially in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Du Yuming's unit had achieved very proud results, but after Chiang Kai-shek's perverse actions, Du Yuming did not change his concept in time, but instead followed Chiang Kai-shek to stand against the people, and for this reason their defeat was inevitable.
In the third stage of the Huaihai Campaign in 1949, Du Yuming, who was then the deputy commander-in-chief, was besieged by our People's Liberation Army in Zhanglaozhuang, and as a result, he was later captured by our army.
So what exactly was Du Yuming's transformation in Gongdelin Prison? In fact, Deng Wenyi, a high-caliber student in Huangpu, once wrote a book, which wrote about Du Yuming's transformation of Gong Delin's life, anyway, it means that Du Yuming's 10-year career as a war criminal was extremely miserable, as if it was a purgatory-like 10 years, and after the publication of this book at that time, it also caused a great controversy in society.
In fact, regarding Du Yuming's transformation of life in Gongdelin Prison, in fact, Shen Drunk once confided the truth, which can also be regarded as completely debunking the rumors in Deng Wenyi's book.
At first, after being imprisoned in Gongdelin Prison, Du Yuming was indeed dead-hearted, and he chose to commit suicide twice, but we successfully rescued him. In fact, the reason why Du Yuming committed suicide was because he felt that his sins were too heavy, and he was still a war criminal, thinking that sooner or later he would have to be tried additionally.
However, after Du Yuming was rescued twice in a row, he also dispelled the idea of suicide, and he has been actively cooperating with the reform since then.
What many people don't know is that in fact, Du Yuming's health is not very good, perhaps it is very serious, it is reported that the Huaihai Campaign that year, in fact, Du Yuming did not want to go to the war, because his body had problems very early, originally wanted to follow his daughter to the United States to study, so that it is also convenient for his own treatment.
But Chiang Kai-shek did not agree, after all, such a fierce general as Du Yuming absolutely could not let him go, and the helpless Du Yuming could only stay. Moreover, in the Battle of Huaihai, Du Yuming even had to walk on crutches, and the end was that Du Yuming was captured.
Du Yuming in Gongdelin Prison suffered from stomach ulcers, tuberculosis, kidney tuberculosis and spondylitis, which can be said to be a pain, especially his spondylosis was extremely torturous to him, often at night pain can not sleep, fortunately, our management in order to help him specially made a plasterboard for him, greatly alleviating his pain.
In fact, some other physical diseases were almost all cured in Gongdelin Prison, and it is conceivable how much financial and material resources we spent on Du Yuming's body at that time.
This is what Deng Wenyi called a "purgatory-like" life, which is really shameless, and in 1959 Du Yuming became one of the first Kuomintang war criminals to be pardoned and released from prison.
