In the history of resistance in China's modern history, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, as a national war of resistance Chinese people against Japanese aggression, occupied a very important position in it. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, countless Chinese shed their blood for common beliefs in different fields, not to mention the soldiers who killed the enemy on the battlefield.
During those arduous years, some heroes and heroes rushed to their deaths in the face of the enemy's coercion, while others bowed their knees in front of the enemy, betrayed the country and sought glory, disregarded the national righteousness, and acted as the enemy's lackeys. These people were given a unified title of "traitor".
In history, there is not only a notorious traitor like Yoshiko Kawashima, but also a woman who defected to Japan during the War of Resistance Against Japan and donated two planes to the enemy. Even her granddaughter was influenced by her to say things that distorted the truth by saying that "the Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan." She is Chen Xingcun.
Daiichi turned to Japan in the face of righteousness
Chen Xingcun was born in a small town in Tainan City, Taiwan Province. In modern China, due to Japan's aggressive policy, some people in Taiwan not only accepted the rule of the Japanese government, but also passively accepted the export of Japanese culture in their thinking. Chen Xingcun was also one of them, which also laid the foundation for her to become a traitor.
The first half of Chen Xingcun's life can even be interpreted as "plain", she went to school step by step, married her husband and had children according to her family's wishes, and lived the life of a housewife. However, after the death of her husband due to illness, her life changed dramatically, which was also an important turning point in her life.
After the unfortunate death of her husband, Chen Xingcun not only felt very sad in his heart, but also faced the problem of the family losing its financial resources. So when World War II broke out, she plucked up the courage to run from Taiwan to Shanghai like many people, trying to take advantage of the chaotic situation to make a windfall from the war.
At that time, Shanghai was in the "isolated island period", and the Japanese government occupied all the areas of Shanghai except the concession by force and renamed Shanghai "Dadao City". During this time, Chen Xingcun took this opportunity to join the "Shanghai Citizens' Association" established by the Japanese army because of his friendship with the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, and engaged in the tobacco trade.
Chen Xingcun was well versed in the way she got along with the Japanese, coupled with her business methods, and soon rose to the position of general agent at the Shanghai Nanyang Tobacco Company, and took over the business activities of the British American Tobacco Company, breaking out of her own business empire through the tobacco trade in the war, which was valued by the Japanese.
Donated two aircraft to Japan
In order to ensure the smooth operation of his business empire, Chen Xingcun tightly grasped the big ship of the Japanese government, often bribing senior Japanese officials to contact them. Of course, in the face of family hatred and hatred of the country, her behavior of laying down her body to please the enemy also made many Chinese unaccustomed to her, thinking that she had lost her national integrity.
Even if the people around her pointed out to her, in Chen Xingcun's view, only real money and silver were the first, and national integrity was not worth mentioning in her eyes. Not only that, because of the brainwashing of Japanese culture that he received from childhood, coupled with the years of dealing with Japanese people, Chen Xingcun has completely transformed into a Japanese in his thinking.
In order to repay the preferential treatment provided to her by the Japanese and to further gain the trust of the other party, Chen Xingcun donated two aircraft to the Japanese military and named them "Xingcun No. 1" and "Xingcun No. 2". In those days, even in Chen Xingcun, which made a lot of money from the tobacco trade, buying two planes was not an easy task.
But the trust of the Japanese is more important to her than to lose a large amount of money. When donating the plane, Chen Xingcun did not know that the two planes would turn their guns at their compatriots, but in the face of accusations and insults from everyone, she never paid attention to it, and did not feel the slightest guilt because of what she had done.
When two planes donated by Chen Xingcun soared above Chinese territory, many families were on the verge of shattering because of their families. On the other hand, Chen Xingcun indulged in the happiness of money and enjoyed a luxurious life bought with the blood of his compatriots. When she saw the disaster of the war, there was no wave in her heart.
As a Chinese, although Chen Xingcun's body is flowing with the blood of Yan Huang's descendants, her spiritual thinking has been transformed into a complete Japanese. For Chen Xingcun, many patriotic young people have written articles accusing her, and she has gradually become a well-known female traitor in Shanghai Beach.
Washed away the charges and fled back to Taiwan
However, in 1945, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was victorious, and many traitors who helped the Japanese and invaded China in the War of Resistance faced legal trials, and Chen Xingcun was no exception. When arrested by the police for adultery, Chen Xingcun refused to cooperate with the police and did not admit what he had done.
When Chen Xingcun was released on parole by paying huge sums of money, he immediately fled to Taiwan. Because she escaped the punishment of the law and whitewashed her own crimes, Chen Xingcun returned to her old business in Taiwan, using the funds of her former connections to continue to develop her tobacco trade, and even negative news about her was stopped.
Chen Xingcun's act of betraying the country and seeking glory is not only reflected in herself, but even affects her descendants. Xie Lianfang, the granddaughter of Chen Xingcun, has lived in Japan since she was a child, and even entered the political arena according to the trajectory of her grandmother's life, step by step to the position of Japan's first Chinese minister.
As the granddaughter of Chen Xingcun, Xie Lianfang not only agreed with her grandmother in thinking, and shared the belief that Japan was her motherland, but also took the initiative to speak out when China and Japan had a dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, saying: "The Diaoyu Islands are Japan's territory in both history and international law. ”
Her statement has made many patriots in China even more indignant, such a reversal of black and white, how can she be qualified to speak in front of the media that she has half of the blood of the Taiwanese. However, in front of the Japanese media, Xie Lianfang also created a shrewd and capable image like her grandmother.
All people are responsible for the decisions they make and the path they choose. Chen Xingcun spent the first half of her life in a dull family life, and if her husband had not died, we still know whether she would have chosen to take the path of betraying the country and becoming a notorious female traitor.
Chen Xingcun may have obtained unimaginable wealth from others, dreaming back in the middle of the night, whether she ever dreamed of her compatriots whose families were destroyed and displaced because of her. However, history cannot be repeated, and the name of Chen Xingcun will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in Chinese history and spurned by people.
