In this efficient society, words such as "fast" and "speed" can be used to describe everything, social development is getting faster and faster, economic growth is getting faster and faster, the pace of people's lives is getting faster and faster, time seems to have become the most luxurious thing, from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to the present fourteenth year has passed, as if everything has been accelerated. People's perception of time is also getting weaker and weaker, and the most common lament is that a year has passed without doing anything. So do you know what it would be like to put fourteen years on a person in a wartime? Today I will talk about the fourteen years of a legendary old man.
The name Han Zidong may be rarely heard, but everyone may hear about the "11.27" massacre in Chongqing, a major event that shocked China and foreign countries. On November 27, the Kuomintang villains carried out a brutal massacre of patriots held in baigongguan, zhazudong and other prisons, in which more than 300 people were killed, and it was in this massacre that Han Zidong escaped and was the only escapee, and he was also the prototype of the "crazy old man" Hua Ziliang in the novel "Red Rock". Han Zidong's life was extremely extraordinary, and after becoming a member of the Communist Party in 1932, he began to work as an underground intelligence officer, when he was also a student of economics at a Chinese university, and it was the identity of a student that made him enter the Blue Jacket Society, a secret service organization of the Nationalist Army, and became an undercover agent.
During the period when he became an undercover agent, he gave full play to his wisdom and wisdom and risked being discovered at any time to collect a lot of important intelligence, successfully passed all this information to the hands of the party leadership, played a very important role, and made a very important contribution to the smooth progress of the party's work. However, just when everything was going very well, because the identity of Han Zidong, a traitor in the organization, was exposed, arrested by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and from then on he was in prison in various places for fourteen years, and he could not even contact his wife at home before he was arrested, and his wife never saw him again.
Han Zidong, who was imprisoned in prison, still gritted his teeth during the frequent torture, resolutely denying that he was a Communist Party and had no relationship with the Communist Party, and that the Kuomintang reactionaries could not do anything about him after exhausting all kinds of unbearable torture by ordinary people, but they were afraid of letting him go by mistake, so they imprisoned him in prison for an indefinite period of time. During the time that Han Zidong was imprisoned in prison, the situation outside the prison also changed, and after passing through prisons in various places, he was finally detained in the White Mansion and Zha Di Dong in Chongqing. This place is also known as the "living coffin", and as the name suggests, those imprisoned here can only wait for death. In this dark place, the food eaten every day is not only sour and rotten, but also has a lot of sand, and the harsh environment makes Han Zidong's body worse and worse, all his teeth are falling out, and he suffers from very serious stomach diseases and arthritis.
Even in such a harsh environment, Han Zidong did not give up the hope of escaping, in order to let the guards relax their vigilance, after a heavy sentence he began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, often either talking to himself or shouting, but also by stripping naked and running in the courtyard this strange behavior of exercise, to everyone's ridicule, even bullying him did not care, gradually all the people around him thought he was really crazy, relaxed their vigilance against him, and even some guards used him as free labor when they went out to buy Han Zidong finally took advantage of the secret agent to relax his vigilance when he went out, the interface went to the toilet to escape, and Han Zidong who escaped did not dare to let down his vigilance, he hid all the way, and it took more than 40 days to finally reach the liberated area to find the organization, and he was the only one who successfully escaped from the white mansion.
After this, Han Zidong reported to the organization his fourteen years of experience and the situation of the White Mansion and the Slag Cave, and under the review of the organization, Han Zidong restored his party membership and sent him to Shandong to work. Han Zidong, who had been away from home for fourteen years, was like an old man in his fifties and sixties when he returned, and even his wife in front of him did not recognize him. After the liberation of the country, Han Zidong also served as deputy secretary of the Guiyang Municipal Party Committee and other positions, and died in 1992 at the age of 84.
In that era, there were many people who made great contributions to the country, and some of them were well known by their names, but there were even more people like Han Zidong who quietly dedicated himself, who persevered in the face of the murderous enemy, coped with wit, and finally successfully escaped, fully demonstrating his firm belief as a party member, which has great educational significance for us.
