If you had fought against the enemy many times in order to save the nation during the revolutionary war years, but your closest comrade-in-arms, your lover, had betrayed you again and again, with the intention of killing you, what would you do? This problem is difficult to choose, and this situation rarely occurs, but it really happened in the northeast in the 30s of the last century.
At that time, Tohoku was under the rule of the Japanese invaders, and countless benevolent people rose up to resist and composed a magnificent and bloody chapter, and Tian Zhongqiao was one of them. As a woman, how many times she has taken the lead in bloody battles, and there are countless people who have fought with her, and these comrades have always firmly supported her.
But people's hearts are separated, and just when she gave up her life and forgot to die, her husband betrayed her, so that she was repeatedly captured and imprisoned by the enemy. At this time, in the face of the choice mentioned above, what should Tian Zhongqiao do, and in the end, did she choose to kill her husband, or did she spare his life for the sake of many years of marital friendship?
1. The hero of the white mountains and black waters
In 1931, the Japanese Kou launched the September 18 Incident, and all of northeast China fell. This great change has changed the lives of countless people in the northeast, and some people have since become depressed, even bending their knees and quickly surrendering to the enemy in exchange for the so-called "glory and wealth". And some people died not to be slaves to the country, and resolutely fought against the Japanese Kou, and Tian Zhongqiao was one of them.
Tian Zhongqiao was born in 1907, when China was still in the Qing Dynasty, and the great powers of various countries took turns to bully me, and countless Chinese sons and daughters were indignant, but they had no choice. Tian Zhongqiao's father was a large local landlord and the most enlightened patriotic gentleman. He once practiced for the Korean national hero Ahn Jung-geun, sending him to Japan to assassinate Itō Hirobumi.
Not only that, tian Zhongqiao's parents were both members of the anti-imperialist grand alliance, and they provided meeting places for the underground party for many years and acted as liaisons. Therefore, Tian Zhongqiao was born in a revolutionary family, and from an early age, he heard about it and planted the seeds of revolution.
In 1931, after the September 18 Incident, Tian Zhongqiao joined the Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress in his hometown and served as a traffic officer. Although this position does not need to go directly to the battlefield, it is the most test of a comrade's firm will and agility. After several years of tempering, Tian Zhongqiao joined the Communist Party of China and became a member of the organization.
At that time, the northeast was under the rule of the Japanese Kou, and the comrades of the underground party were surrounded by enemies, and it was very difficult to make some achievements. At this time, Tian Zhongqiao gave full play to his advantages as a woman, dressed up many times, and traveled around the northeast to deliver news to various revolutionary teams. During the arduous 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, she was the only female county party secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in the northeast region, and the difficult struggle she experienced was unimaginable.
She delivered war reports, mobilized the masses, led the workers' comrades to burn the Japanese army warehouses, cut off the Japanese army's supplies, she raised her guns on the horse, led the charge, killed countless enemies, in the revolutionary ranks, she won the title of "Field Madman", and her heroic deeds impressed countless people. But at that time, the revolutionary environment in the northeast was quite harsh. Of the 11 commanders of the Anti-Japanese League, four were betrayed by traitors and eventually destroyed.
Since the day of the birth of the Anti-Japanese League, Tian Zhongqiao has joined this revolutionary contingent and soon became one of the leaders of this contingent, leading the Anti-Japanese League to cause great harm to the enemy, and Tian Zhongqiao has thus become the target of the enemy's retaliation. In less than a few years, Tian Zhongqiao was arrested three times and subjected to inhuman torture in prison.
Arrested and imprisoned two or three times, the traitor turned out to be her husband
In 1937, after the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, the Japanese army broke into Guannei, cutting off the communication between inside and outside the Guannei, and the support from Guannei was much less, and the situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance was even more difficult. In 1938, with the fall of Shanghai and the fall of Nanjing, the Chinese nation reached the most dangerous time. Countless people have lost confidence in victory and believe that it is impossible to achieve the final victory.
For the people of the Northeast, who have been holding out for seven years, for the comrades of the Anti-Japanese League, the victory of the revolution seems to be an unattainable illusion. In this environment, Song Yifu, secretary of the Jidong Provincial CPC Committee, betrayed the organization, surrendered to the enemy with money, and dealt a heavy blow to the cause of the revolution in northeast China.
However, the enemy did not grasp the true identity of Tian Zhongqiao, they only knew that this woman was a member of the Anti-Japanese League, did not expect that she was actually one of the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and did not expect that she also controlled the intelligence network in the Mudanjiang area. Therefore, the enemy did not send heavy troops to guard Tian Zhongqiao, so that the party organization could successfully rescue him. But soon Tian Zhongqiao was arrested again, this time not from her revolutionary comrades-in-arms, but from her husband.
In 1939, Tian Zhongqiao, who had just escaped from his life, was arrested again while on a mission, and unlike the last time, the enemy tortured Tian Zhongqiao. Tiger stools, nail tubes, pepper water, and all kinds of red-hot soldering irons tossed her to the skin. For a woman, these pains are unbearable, Tian Zhongqiao does not know how many times he has passed out, and he has thought about suicide many times.
However, she cannot die, her mind is filled with the secrets of the Party, and if she dies, these secrets will never be known and will cause great losses to the cause of the Party. Therefore, no matter how much suffering he suffered, Tian Zhongqiao persevered. The Constant Torture of the Japanese Army failed to get any information from Tian Zhongqiao's mouth, and even began to wonder if he had caught the wrong person.
Gradually, the Japanese began to relax their management of Tian Zhongqiao, allowing her to bask in the open space at fixed times. Once, when Tian Zhongqiao came out of his cell to move, he saw his husband Xun Yukun. But this is not the revolutionary couple who are both in distress, Xun Yukun is neatly dressed, and he talks with the Japanese army very happily.
Tian Zhongqiao immediately understood why she had been repeatedly found by the enemy, why she had just been rescued and fell into the hands of thieves again, and it turned out that her most beloved husband was the traitor who betrayed her. After Tian Zhongqiao was heartbroken, he decided to kill his relatives and get rid of his husband. Only by doing so can we avoid greater losses in the revolution.
But how? Tian Zhongqiao was worthy of being a revolutionary leader who had been fighting on the front line for a long time, and soon she came up with a "counter-plan". While helping the Japanese wash their clothes, she stuffed a note into Xun Yukun's clothes. The note said that Xun Yukun was asked to pretend to surrender to the enemy and wait for the trust of the Japanese army to carry out the next mission.
This clothing was quickly checked out by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army believed it to be true and ordered a strict investigation of the source of the clothing. Soon, Xun Yukun was pulled out, and no matter how he defended him, the Japanese army no longer believed him. After a brief interrogation, Xun Yukun was ordered to be shot.
Later, Tian Zhongqiao, with the help of the northeast military and civilians, struggled to escape from the tiger's mouth. But the hardships of the revolution did not end there, even if Xun Yukun had been shot, there were still many traitors in the ranks of the revolution. Soon, Tian Zhongqiao was betrayed by traitors again.
This time, the Japanese army increased the degree of torture of Tian Zhongqiao, steel wire leather whip, bamboo sticks and iron nails, these tortures made Tian Zhongqiao die of pain, she felt countless times that she had touched the ghost door, countless times felt that dying was a kind of relief.
Once, Tian Zhongqiao, who could not bear the pain, jumped directly from the second floor, but she did not die, but caused multiple fractures in her body. Subsequently, Tian Zhongqiao was transferred to the Harbin Police Department, and in order to break her revolutionary fighting spirit, the enemy also changed Tian Zhongqiao into a kimono and sent all the way from Mudanjiang to Harbin with great fanfare. This action of the enemy made many comrades think that Tian Zhongqiao had betrayed the enemy.
After that, Tian Zhongqiao's traces disappeared, during which some people said that she had died, some people said that she had defected to the enemy, but in fact, during the entire anti-Japanese war, no one in the intelligence network that Tian Zhongqiao was responsible for was betrayed, and no contact point was discovered. So, is Tian Zhongqiao still alive, and how did she live later?
Third, fortunately, he lived to the age of 99
Tian Zhongqiao suffered inhuman torture in the prison of the Harbin Police Department, which directly led to Tian Zhongqiao's mental confusion. In a state of "semi-madness", she persevered until the victory of the War of Resistance. In 1945, the party organization miraculously found Tian Zhongqiao in prison.
After organizational review, it was determined that Tian Zhongqiao had always adhered to the revolutionary beliefs of a communist during his detention, had not revealed the secrets of the organization, had not betrayed his revolutionary comrades-in-arms, and had not betrayed the revolutionary cause, and decided to restore Tian Zhongqiao's organizational relations.
But at this time, Tian Zhongqiao could no longer walk, could not recognize people, and his physical and mental state was on the verge of collapse. After that, the party organization specially arranged for someone to take good care of Tian Zhongqiao, and after the founding of New China, it was also arranged to work at the Northeast Martyrs' Memorial Hall.
Here, there are the comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side with Nakatsuki, here is the revolutionary friendship she cherishes the most, and here are the people she has fought for. In 2005, Tian Zhongqiao died peacefully at the age of 99. This revolutionary fighter, who has endured the most cruel punishment in the world and the darkest period in the past hundred years, has finally been able to witness the soaring China, her life is awe-inspiring, and her life is supremely glorious.
