In 1981, Wang Heshou, accompanied by His daughter, went to the Beijing Hotel to meet a Chinese-American. Wang Heshou, who serves in the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, has always had little contact with foreigners, but this time he needs to meet with the leading comrades of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission in person.
At the Beijing Hotel, Wang Heshou's daughter met the richly dressed but guilty-faced Chinese Mrs. Kuotai. This lady looks too old, but she dressed very fashionably in China in the 80s.
During the conversation, she learned that the rich businessman had contributed to the revolution, but later fled to Taiwan because of the defection, and was a traitor to the party. Later, he settled with her husband in the United States to do business and lived a wealthy life. In her later years, she often returned to China to visit and invested in the mainland, and revealed several times that she hoped to return to China to live in her later years.
Her name is Qin Manyun. Why did she choose to defect in her early years to join the revolution, and how did she change her past mistakes in her later years and become a patriotic overseas Chinese?
Revolutionary pioneer Qin Manyun
In 1908, Qin Manyun was born in a family of scholars, and the natural family also attached great importance to the education of children.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the family followed their grandfather from Zhejiang to Shandong, and the family has settled here ever since. By the time Qin Manyun was born, even though the family had fallen into the middle of the road, Qin Manyun and his brother Qin Maoxuan still received a good education.
During his studies, Qin Manyun was influenced by many advanced ideas and became acquainted with many early communists with advanced ideas, and under their influence, the young Qin Manyun also joined the vigorous revolution.
In 1925, at the age of 17, Qin Manyun joined the Communist Youth League of China and began to take charge of various tasks within the league.
In the same year, the May Thirtieth Movement broke out. During this period, Qin Manyun held many important positions and led the students of the school to carry out various anti-imperialist struggles according to the instructions of the party.
Soon, the Party Central Committee decided to send a group of people to study in the Soviet Union, the only socialist country at that time. As an active participant in the revolution and one of the few female cadres in the party, Qin Manyun was successfully selected to be included in the list of this study.
Qin Manyun was arranged to study at the Moscow Oriental University and the Moscow Sun Yat-sen University respectively. During this period of study, Qin Manyun met two crucial men in his life, Guan Xiangying and Sheng Zhongliang.
From party members to traitors
The most precious thing in a foreign country is the company from others, and soon Qin Manyun has a good feeling for Guan Xiangying, who often cares for her.
In the face of Qin Manyun's feelings, Guan Xiangying also responded in time. In 1928, with the blessings of other revolutionary comrades-in-arms, the two men were married in Moscow.
But the relationship came and went quickly. The next year, the two returned to China, and due to the needs of work, Qin Manyun and Guan Xiangying began a long period of separation.
In the revolutionary years, such things seemed commonplace, but the relationship did not stand the test of time and space. Slowly, Qin Manyun and Guan Xiangying ended the relationship.
Qin Manyun, who continues to stay in Shanghai, still has achieved good results in his work, and with it comes greater pressure.
At this time, Sheng Zhongliang, another boy he met while studying in Moscow, reappeared. Sheng Zhongliang fell in love with Qin Manyun at first sight when he was in Moscow, but quit Qin Manyun's world after Qin Manyun married Guan Xiangying.
I didn't expect to meet again in Shanghai this time, and At this time, Maggie Qin also returned to her single state. Sheng Zhongliang, who seized the opportunity, quickly gained Qin Manyun's heart, and the two began to communicate.
In 1934, Qin Manyun was arrested by Kuomintang agents as an important head of the Secretariat of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
For a long time, Qin Manyun's work ability had to be recognized, but in the face of the enemy's coercion and temptation, Qin Manyun quickly tied his hands.
Li Zhusheng, secretary of the Shanghai Central Bureau of the COMMUNIST Party of China, was the first to confess many important secrets of the Communist Party, and Qin Manyun also provided a lot of important information.
Under the rebellion led by the Shanghai Municipality, the underground organization of the Communist Party in Shanghai was seriously damaged, and countless Communists were arrested and even sacrificed in this rebellion.
Not only that, Li Zhusheng also gave Sheng Zhongliang's address when he defected, and soon Sheng Zhongliang was also arrested and imprisoned.
Unlike others, Sheng Zhongliang gritted his teeth and resolutely defended the revolution after his arrest. The Kuomintang leader who interrogated Sheng Zhongliang was also helpless against him.
By chance, the leader of Sheng Zhongliang's interrogation thought of a man, the Communist traitor Gu Shunzhang. From his mouth, he successfully learned that Sheng Zhongliang's weakness was Qin Manyun.
Therefore, with the "help" of Qin Manyun, Sheng Zhongliang successfully defected. After the rebellion, the two came together, and Sheng Zhongliang also gained a certain position in the Kuomintang.
Life after the New China
After joining the Kuomintang, Sheng Zhongliang had to face torture from the heart. For his own behavior, Sheng Zhongliang has never forgiven himself, but for the reality that has happened, Sheng Zhongliang is powerless to save it.
In 1949, the Kuomintang was defeated in Taiwan, and the Communist Party began to liquidate. Knowing that they could not stay on the mainland, Qin Manyun and Sheng Zhongliang embarked on the road to Taiwan.
After arriving in Taiwan, he stayed away from the battlefield. Qin Manyun and Sheng Zhongliang's excellent work ability was once again reflected, and Sheng Zhongliang was responsible for Taiwan's diplomatic work.
After living in Taiwan for more than ten years, Sheng Zhongliang and Qin Manyun went to the United States to do business and lived a wealthy life after retirement. The two also became U.S. citizens.
In their later years, the two became increasingly homesick, but because of their past deeds, the two did not ask the government for any demands.
The reform and opening up in 1978 gave Qin Manyun hope that he could return to China for sightseeing in the name of investment, and finally this reason was approved by the government, and Qin Manyun also returned to his long-lost hometown.
It is also from this return to China that Qin Manyun has returned to his hometown many times to invest, hoping to make some contributions to the motherland.
On December 17, 2001, Qin Manyun died in the United States.
Qin Manyun ended his life as a traitor, and even his husband Sheng Zhongliang was also dressed as a traitor.
It is not difficult to imagine that these two men will have to endure their own inner torment after the rebellion, but the facts can no longer be changed, and the thousands of revolutionaries who died as a result cannot be revived.
Qin Manyun can also have another life. Qin Manyun's brother Qin Maolin joined the Communist Party in the same year as Qin Manyun, was rescued from prison after three arrests, and died in 1928 at the age of 22.
Qin Manyun's first husband, Guan Xiangying, was also imprisoned by the Kuomintang when he was not separated from Qin Manyun, and under the rescue of the Communists, Guan Xiangying was successfully released from prison after being held for more than a year.
Among the group of people arrested at the same time as Qin Manyun, there were also revolutionaries such as Huang Wenjie and Zhu Jingmei who preferred to die unyieldingly and whose righteousness was awe-inspiring.
However, Qin Manyun chose the path of rebellion, and also pulled his husband Sheng Zhongliang down the water, which could not help but be regretted.
