In 1951, a spy named Huang Maocai was tried, and some people verified that he had worked as a guard in Zha Di Dong, most likely the real murderer of Sister Jiang, and if the situation was true, Huang Mao would be sentenced to death!
But in court, Huang Maocai directly cried out for wrongs, but the fact that he had been a spy was a foregone conclusion, so the death sentence was quickly issued. In a hurry, Huang Maocai suddenly shouted in court: "I am not a murderer!" I have done things for Sister Jiang! ”
Slag in the cave
This sentence made everyone stunned, how could a secret agent have done things for Sister Jiang? But Huang Maocai explained the details of that year very clearly, which made everyone a little suspicious. In the end, after deliberation, the court changed Huang Maocai's death sentence to labor reform. So, what did Huang Maocai say, did he tell the truth?
Things began in May 1948, when Huang Maocai, a farmer in Rong County, Sichuan Province, came to Chongqing from his hometown in hopes of finding a job to support his family. Huang Maocai had only been in school for two years, slightly literate, and tall, hard-working and resentful, so it wasn't long before his fellow villagers recommended him an errand. This errand is to go to the slag cave to be a guard, to put it bluntly, to be a spy. But Huang Maocai didn't think so much at that time, at that time, as a flat-headed citizen, as long as he didn't starve to death, he was very good, even if he didn't care about any secret agents.
Huang Maocai's superior told Huang Maocai that the people imprisoned here were all political prisoners who had committed serious crimes and were unforgivable. However, after Huang Maocai came for a while, he felt that it was not so. The prisoners here all look good.
Huang Maocai actually vaguely knew about some revolutionary party matters, and he knew that these prisoners did not actually come in for serious crimes, but made a revolution come in. Huang Maocai was very sympathetic to them. Although Huang Maocai could not do anything as a small guard, he never bullied these prisoners, and occasionally helped them deliver a meal or medicine.
A month later, a new prisoner came to the cave, named Zeng Zixia. Huang Maocai saw Zeng Zixia and was very surprised in his heart. Because Zeng Zixia's father was a high-ranking official of the National Government, she and Huang Mao were fellow countrymen, so Huang Mao knew that she was a big lady with thousands of gold. But I didn't expect that Miss Qianjin would have to make a revolution when she was wearing food and clothing without worry. He was a little ashamed in his heart, others made a revolution for the poor people, even if they did not want their lives, they were still working as spies here.
Soon, Sister Jiang Zhujun was also imprisoned in the Zha Di Cave, and both Sister Jiang and Zeng Zixia noticed Huang Maocai, a slightly different agent. They feel that although Huang Maocai has the identity of a secret agent, he is still a kind person in essence, and they regard Huang Maocai as an object of unity and often chat with him.
The great cause of the revolution
During the conversation, Huang Mao learned a lot of things they had done before, and Huang Mao was deeply infected. What moved Huang Maocai even more was that although these revolutionaries were in prison, they still tried their best to help him as a poor people. Once, Huang Maocai's mother was ill, and When Sister Jiang and others learned that he was in difficulty, they immediately collected donations in prison and gave him the few watches and pens he had, and asked him to sell them to his mother for treatment. Huang Maocai was deeply moved, and he said to Sister Jiang: "In the future, everyone will be useful to my place, and I will definitely help!" ”
At that time, Huang Maocai's main job was to help everyone deliver letters. Sister Jiang and the others were eager to contact the organization and inform them of what had happened in Chongqing. This task was dangerous, and Huang Maocai hesitated, but finally did it. He thought that if he could do something for the revolution, he would not live in vain.
Since then, he has often traveled back and forth between Zha di Dong and Chongqing City, delivered countless letters to the workers in the prison, and he often quietly brought some newspapers and magazines to everyone from outside to help them understand the news of the outside world.
One day in 1949, a newspaper brought by Huang Maocai excited the revolutionaries in the cave, and it turned out that the newspaper of that day carried the news of the founding of New China. This is what the revolutionaries have been looking forward to. Huang Maocai was also happy for them, but soon he began to worry again, although new China was founded, But Chongqing had not yet been liberated, and with the heart of a secret agent, presumably on the eve of the liberation of Chongqing, it was the day when the revolutionaries sacrificed.
Huang Maocai's heart was troubled, but at this critical juncture, Huang Maocai's mother fell ill. As the eldest son in the family, his mother was seriously ill, and Huang Maocai could not help but go back. Sister Jiang asked him to take care of his mother first, and then talk about things later. Huang Maocai went back with trepidation, but he did not expect that in the two weeks since he returned, Jiang Jie and others had been brutally killed by the enemy.
Finally get innocent
After Huang Maocai returned, he looked at the mostly empty cell and was heartbroken. After more than a year of getting along, he has long regarded these revolutionaries as his friends and comrades. But now they are dying one by one, and they can't do anything themselves. But there was one last chance, and the surviving revolutionaries in the cave handed Huang Maocai a letter, asking him to hurry out of the city to take the letter out, and perhaps find an organization to rescue him.
It was this letter that Huang Maocai brought out that allowed the organization to understand the situation inside the slag cave, and finally rescued some of the imprisoned comrades at the last moment. On the day of the liberation of Chongqing, Huang Maocai said goodbye to everyone, and the organization was supposed to arrange work for him, but Huang Maocai felt ashamed in his heart, and he always felt that he had committed a crime. So he decided to go back to his hometown to farm for a living, and no longer bothered about the outside world. However, soon after returning to his hometown, the fact that he had been a spy in the past was turned over, and what shocked Huang Maocai even more was that he was also beaten into the murderer of Sister Jiang.
This made Huang Maocai feel doubly wronged, how could he possibly kill Sister Jiang? But the bad thing is that when Huang Maocai left, he didn't bring any relics, and he had no way to prove what he had done for the revolutionaries. In this way, Huang Maocai was sent to the countryside for transformation, and was not released until 1964.
After regaining his freedom, Huang Maocai began a long road to prove his innocence, he searched for many years, and finally contacted the living Zeng Zixia to testify for him, and at the same time, the Chongqing Martyrs' Cemetery found evidence that Huang Maocai had sent letters to the revolutionaries in many dusty materials. In April 1982, the court retried Huang Maocai's case, confirming that Huang Maocai was a revolutionary hero, and after 31 years, Huang Maocai finally proved his innocence.
Subsequently, Huang Maocai was appointed a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and enjoyed state subsidies, and from time to time he would go to the Martyrs' Cemetery to take a walk, where his friends were buried.
