On an ordinary day in 1984, an old lady living in Beijing suddenly announced that she was going to donate a huge amount of 2.4 billion yuan to the state, and people who heard the news were shocked.
The whole country is full of people, because an old lady who sweeps the floor, who is only a few dollars a month in salary, how can there be a huge amount of 2.4 billion?
Many people suspect that the old lady is telling a lie. But the truth is that this old lady donated 80% of the property, that is, 2.4 billion yuan, and the old lady who swept the floor is Zhao Biyan.
Zhao Xinbo participated in the revolution against the Beiyang warlords and failed, fleeing to Japan
Zhao Biyan is just an ordinary person, but her husband is not ordinary at all, her husband is the well-known traitor Zhao Xinbo, and this money is from Zhao Xinbo's hands.
Zhao Xinbo was born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and when he was young, in order to join the Qing army for the sake of his future, he went everywhere to woo Qing army officials, and the Qing army officials who were already corrupt naturally would not refuse Zhao Xinbo's flattery.
But Zhao Xinbo was not satisfied with being an obscure little, he seized the opportunity to leave the Qing army, turned around and came to Beijing, through various channels to enter Peking University, in school to learn some professional knowledge.
It didn't take long for the Xinhai Revolution to break out, and Zhao Xinbo naturally stayed in Beijing. Because Yuan Shikai wanted to resurrect feudal rule, the whole country unanimously denounced Yuan Shikai, and Zhao Xinbo also joined others in opposing Yuan Shikai.
However, because of the suppression of the Beiyang warlords, the revolution in which Zhao Xinbo participated was attacked, and he was afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so he secretly fled to Dalian, Shandong Province, and hid. At that time, the Beiyang warlords were arresting revolutionaries everywhere, and he was afraid of being arrested by the enemy, so he changed his name and surname, and took the opportunity to enter a Japanese educational institution as a teacher Chinese.
During this time, Zhao Xinbo's thinking underwent tremendous changes. After a year, he came to Japan by ship, entered Meiji University in Japan, continued to study cultural knowledge, and made many friends in Japan.
Zhao Xinbo betrayed the country and acted as a lackey of the Japanese
Zhao Xinbo, who has always been immersed in a comfortable life in Japan, is unwilling to return to his motherland, which has suffered many disasters, and has tried every means to stay at Japan's Army University. And Zhao Xinbo is no longer the aspiring young man who participated in the revolution before, he has become a lackey of the Japanese.
He was nominally a Chinese lecturer at the university, but behind his back, he was doing something unseemly. In order to obtain Japanese money, Zhao Xinbo betrayed China's intelligence. It is precisely because of Zhao Xinbo's "outstanding performance" that Japan decided to award Zhao Xinbo a doctorate in law, which was not yet such a high degree for Chinese students at that time.
But this is zhao Xinbo's ill-gotten gain at the expense of China's interests. He knew that the Japanese had received this information in order to invade China. But how could the depraved Zhao Xinbo care about this, he only knew his own interests.
Collude with the aggressor and reap the benefits
In order to win the favor of the Japanese, he colluded with the militarists, betrayed China at every turn, and gave the Japanese a lot of help.
In order to gain more benefits, Zhao Xinbo agreed to the Japanese assignment to act as legal adviser to the northeastern warlord Zhang Zuolin, and the purpose of this was undoubtedly to supervise Zhang Zuolin's every move and obtain intelligence information.
Even after returning to China, Zhao Xinbo continued to serve the Japanese. After the Kwantung Army killed Zhang Zuolin, the Japanese supported the abdicated emperor Puyi as the puppet emperor of Manchukuo. The traitor Zhao Xinbo, because of his excellent performance, served as the president of the puppet Manchurian National Court.
Power makes people degenerate, Zhao Xinbo is already a very popular courtier, he began to amass wealth, especially after serving as an internal affairs adviser, but also everywhere to grab benefits, seemingly unlimited spring, for a long time by others accused, Zhao Xinbo was dismissed from all positions because of corruption and bribery.
Zhao Xinbo left China with his family and came to Japan. Although he has stepped down, Zhao Xinbo's interpersonal relationship for many years has played a role, because during the war, the most scarce thing is medicine, and penicillin is equivalent to gold. Zhao Xinbo colluded with Japanese government officials to sell penicillin and earned a lot of wealth.
Zhao Xinbo used all his money to buy real estate
In 1938, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was in full swing, and Zhao Xinbo returned to China with his family, but he did not return to China to resist Japan, but to collude with the invaders. With the Japanese, Zhao Xinbo was a mighty blessing, squeezing the common people everywhere, and his greedy appearance leaked out again.
But his good days were coming to an end, and in 1943 the Japanese invaders suffered successive blows and the sun had set. Zhao Xinbo keenly observed that Japan was about to be defeated, and that his own traitor would definitely be sentenced to death, and the wealth in his hands would be wiped out.
In order to protect his money, Zhao Xinbo bought real estate in Japan with all his wealth, Zhao Xinbo is a legal background, he knows that his identity is not convenient to sign agreements, and he can not really manage real estate.
So he signed an agreement in the name of his wife, Zhao Biyan, and entrusted the management of his friend Yanosuke Suzuki. Unsurprisingly, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhao Xinbo was imprisoned in a large prison and finally died of illness in the large prison.
The real estate he bought in Tokyo was worth $3 billion in 1980, a fortune worth a fortune.
Zhao Biyan recovered her inheritance and donated it to the country
Zhao Biyan wanted to inherit this inheritance, but was blocked by many obstacles, and even Yanosuke Suzuki publicly announced that Zhao Biyan did not exist, and many people who wanted to get this ill-gotten wealth in the past were rejected by Yasuke Suzuki.
After learning about this transnational dispute, China decided to help Zhao Biyan recover this property, and after more than 20 years of litigation, it finally recovered all of Zhao Biyan's property.
Zhao Biyan thanked the state for its great help, and at the same time she also knew that her husband Zhao Xinbo was a traitor and a traitor to the country, and this money should not be obtained.
So after recovering the money, Zhao Biyan announced that he would donate 2.4 billion yuan to the state. Not only to thank the country, but also to atone for her husband Zhao Xinbo, and Zhao Biyan's children also support their mother's approach.
Zhao Xinbo went from a man of lofty ideals who participated in the revolution to a man who betrayed the interests of the state and played for the tiger, and the reason was that he could not bear the temptation of money.
Such examples are endless in history books, and the famous Wang Jingwei was once a revolutionary who was not afraid of death, and even dared to assassinate the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty, but in the end he became a lackey of the Japanese, and after his death, he was also dug up by Chiang Kai-shek to frustrate the ashes.
Betraying a country will not only be spurned by its own people, but also despised by people in other countries. Zhao Biyan's donation to the state is also atonement for her husband's sins.
