Position determines thought, but how many people who are bound by the times can freely choose their own positions, especially in that turbulent era, and how many people can consistently adhere to their own ideas and believe in their own decisions.
The confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party undoubtedly makes it more difficult to choose, but because of the different camps, people sometimes have to make choices.
We have long heard of the numerous evil deeds of the military command, but in 1940, in the downtown area of Chongqing City, an agent of the military command released a group of underground party members in front of countless onlookers and prevented a premeditated arrest operation.
Behind the seemingly irrational behavior, there is a reasonable explanation.
Friendship in turbulent times
In 1914, Wang Huaqin was born in a large family in Sichuan, and her father not only had thousands of acres of fertile land, but also ran a lot of industries. As a rich family, she could have enjoyed the prosperity of the world without worry, but as a generation born and raised in the revolution, they shouldered the mission of changing China.
Although the Sichuan Basin at that time was still in a state of chaos of warlord division, Wang Huaqin's father had the foresight to believe that the tide of revolution would eventually sweep through this ancient land, so he not only encouraged his daughter to receive a new education, but also funded and sponsored aspiring young people to enter the school.
Among the young people sponsored by Wang Huaqin's father, there was a pair of brothers named Cornell and Kang Keming, and their father and Wang Huaqin's father were brothers.
Because of the similar age and the relationship between his father's generation, Wang Huaqin and the Kang brothers were familiar with each other when they were young, and it can be said that they are the playmates of qingmei bamboo horses and the mentors and friends on the road of learning.
In 1933, Wang Huaqin was admitted to Jinan University and was later sent to Japan to study. After the July 7 Incident in 1937, the all-out War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, and she returned to the motherland desperately, planning to devote herself to the front line of the War of Resistance.
Finding direction for China in the turmoil is the common mission of that generation, they have made many attempts to do this, and they have worked hard to broaden their horizons, all for the sake of China's hope and future.
A lover who meets unexpectedly
Soon after Wang Huaqin entered the army, he participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and after the great victory, Wang Huaqin followed the troops south, joining the officer training class of the Kuomintang side on the way.
But at that time, she did not know that this was a tailor-made training course for the selection of talents for the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Kuomintang Military Commission, and the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau had a more familiar name - military unification.
After a period of training, Wang Huaqin, who had studied in Japan, was arranged to listen to the telegrams of the Japanese army, and because of his outstanding work performance, he was soon transferred to the military headquarters in Chongqing and became an agent directly under the jurisdiction of Dai Kasa.
At that time, although the Two Parties cooperated, there was also confrontation, and Wang Huaqin's task was to supervise and crack down on progressive organizations in the Chongqing area.
In Chongqing, Wang Huaqin met Cornell again, because of his previous experience, Wang Huaqin also guessed his identity at this time, although Cornell has always claimed that he is only a businessman, but how can he hide the green plum bamboo horse that grew up together?
Wang Huaqin's intuition was correct, because it was not long before she caught a glimpse of a list of arrests by the military commander, and Cornell's name was prominently listed. Because it was a covert operation, and Wang Huaqin was not involved in the arrest at that time, she could enter and exit freely without restriction.
The top priority was to find Cornell, but according to Wang Huaqin's understanding of military command, if he rushed to see Cornell at this time, it would inevitably bring greater disasters to himself and the other party.
Because of the different camps, two close friends who talk about nothing are going in opposite directions, but they still care about each other in their hearts.
In times of crisis, the camp and belief cannot withstand the position of the other party in their own hearts, and for this sincere feeling, they can make decisions that ordinary people cannot understand.
Redemption between each other
After thinking about it, Wang Huaqin thought of a place, a teahouse in the center of Chongqing, where people come and go on weekdays, and Cornell usually meets with underground party members to discuss important matters.
Thinking of this, Wang Huaqin couldn't help but tremble in her heart, she knew these things, and the military command must also know, and in the panic, Wang Huaqin couldn't think much about it, so she hurried to the tea house.
At 6 p.m. that day, the underground party did have a meeting in the tea house, and Cornell would also attend, and in order to prepare for the meeting, Cornell came to the tea house early to wait, and was now on the second floor with several underground party members playing mahjong while discussing things, but they did not know that they were already in danger.
Time passed minute by minute, seeing that the arrest operation of the military commander was about to begin, suddenly there was a hand on Cornell's shoulder and the three people at the same table shouted to change people, and it was rare to change people in the middle of playing mahjong.
And Cornell looked back to see that the person was Wang Huaqin, plus the other party's hand, had been pulling himself backwards, Cornell instantly realized the crisis, the two exchanged eyes between the electric light and flint, And Cornell got up and left.
Because of Cornell's departure, the meeting was not held, and most of the underground party members got rid of the pursuit, while Wang Huaqin finally cleared his suspicions after being interrogated for 6 months on the grounds that he was itchy and did not know the action.
Wang Huaqin risked his life and saved the lives of Cornell and many other underground party members, but Cornell, who knew that his identity was exposed, did not have time to say goodbye to Wang Huaqin and left Chongqing in a hurry.
In 1951, Wang Huaqin, who had experience as a secret agent, was arrested by the local government and was suddenly released when he was about to be escorted to the execution ground. It turned out that Cornell had saved her life, and Cornell, then deputy secretary of the Southwest Working Committee of the Youth League, wrote a letter willing to use his own life to protect Wang Huaqin, and counted her contributions to the revolution, and urged the local government to take good care of Wang Huaqin.
In 1985, Wang Huaqin died of illness, and throughout her life she and Cornell did not become husband and wife, and the two had their own families. But the love between them is beyond the ordinary love, both of them can stand up recklessly when the other is in danger, even if it is to take their lives, such a move, even if it is a husband and wife, there are several people who can do it.
epilogue
History has historical choices, individuals have personal choices, and there is no right or wrong in itself, and right and wrong only exist in the result.
Perhaps Wang Huaqin could not fully understand what Cornell had done, and Cornell could not fully understand Wang Huaqin's decision, but this did not prevent them from unconditional trust and support.
In the face of the tide of history, personal decisions always seem insignificant, but even so, human nature still shines brightly.
Wang Huaqin and Cornell have very different life experiences, they have different beliefs, different camps, different positions, and finally go in the opposite direction after dividing and merging, but they have never forgotten the most cherished person in their hearts, and they are even willing to give their lives for it.
