At the beginning of 2005, the Oriental Time and Space Column Group was preparing to shoot a large-scale documentary "In Search of Heroes".
When the staff went to the northeast to look for the anti-coalition fighters, Tian Zhongqiao, 98, was already dying.
Lying on the hospital bed, when she learned that the program team was looking for anti-Japanese heroes like them, she was weak and burst into tears: "Thank you, I always remember us!" ”
Helplessly, the world is in a state of flux, and it is always impossible to achieve the happy ending that people yearn for.
When the program team officially filmed, Tian Zhongqiao, who had been humiliated and tortured and devoted all his efforts to saving the troubled land, had passed away.
It was March 15, 2005, and the spring was bright, everything was happy, and everything in the world was full of vitality.
It's just a pity that 98-year-old Tian Zhongqiao can no longer see...
The shrine is full of blood and blood, and the sky is dim with millions of stars.
Looking back at the troubled history of beacon smoke, too many heroes who sacrificed themselves to serve the country fell like stars, leaving only a simple name; and the three words "Tian Zhongqiao" are even stranger to most people.
However, it was this humble old man of the century who witnessed the humiliation and resistance in the modern history of the Chinese nation with his bitter experience of being arrested and imprisoned three times and tortured to the bone; even more when he was imprisoned, he made outstanding contributions to the cause of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Resistance League with the clever strategy of "getting rid of the rebellious husband with a note".
[Tian Zhongqiao: Rich girl resolutely goes to the anti-Japanese road]
Born in 1907, Tian Zhongqiao was originally a rich girl with no worries about food and clothing.
The reason why I embarked on the road of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is closely related to the choice of the Tian family's parents.
Her father, Tian Xiushan, was a well-known local gentleman who often funded patriotic activities in all walks of life; when the Korean national hero Ahn Jung-geun assassinated Japanese Prime Minister Iteng Bowen, Tian Xiushan personally cooked wine for Ahn Jung-geun, and his patriotism was self-evident.
Tian Zhongqiao's mother, Xiu Yulin, was also enlightened and patriotic; when the northeast was invaded by the Japanese army, Xiu Yulin specially stood guard for the underground party members of our party, collected some valuable intelligence for them, and took the initiative to join the patriotic organization Anti-Imperialist Grand Alliance.
Later, with the formal establishment of the anti-Japanese base area in northeast China, the "Tianjia Bathhouse" run by the husband and wife became our party's underground secret transportation station; although the two were not party members, they played the role of underground traffic officers, often escorting some senior cadres of our party through this place smoothly, making important contributions to our party's revolutionary activities.
The deep patriotic feelings of his parents directly affected Tian Zhongqiao's life.
Tian Zhongqiao
In 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched the "918 Incident", and the situation in the northeast was unprecedentedly serious.
In the case of the fall of the country and the precarious situation, the 24-year-old Tian Zhongqiao directly took his sister Tian Mengjun to participate in the revolution; because of his quick reaction and courage, Tian Zhongqiao became an important underground traffic officer.
With increasing experience, Tian Zhongqiao became a famous anti-Japanese female master in the northeast region; later she became the secretary of the Ning'an County CPC Committee, which is also the highest-ranking female leader of our party in the northeast region.
In the anti-Japanese activities, she was always resourceful.
Once, in order to let the warriors break through the defense of many Japanese devils, she went to the enemy's warehouse alone and set fire to it; and this exciting fire burned for a whole day and a night, no matter how the enemy remediated it, it was not extinguished; it was also this raging fire that burned out nearly a thousand tons of grain and other military materials hidden in the enemy's warehouse.
Picture of the Anti-Coalition Organization
Later, in order to successfully destroy the enemy by the Second and Fifth Armies of the Anti-Japanese Coalition, Tian Zhongqiao went to explore the intelligence; and this valuable secret information allowed the Anti-Coalition team to eliminate more than 300 Japanese mechanized infantry, destroy a train, and harvest more than 100 war horses as spoils.
Such achievements have also made Tian Zhongqiao a rare mainstay in the anti-coalition team; because she has always been fierce in her work, everyone often jokingly calls her "Tian Crazy".
In the unpredictable anti-Japanese activities, Tian Zhongqiao was never afraid or retreated; although she was a female streamer, she always tried her best to achieve her goal whenever there was a need in the organization.
But who would have thought that the last person to push her into the enemy's demon cave was her husband who shared the same bed.
[Arrested and imprisoned for surrendering to the enemy by his superiors, and later sent to the devil's cave by her husband]
Before being framed by her husband, Tian Zhongqiao had the experience of being arrested and imprisoned.
It was 1938, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had already broken out in an all-round way, in order to ensure the stability of the situation in the northeast and to provide a steady stream of resources for the Japanese army fighting on the front line, the Japanese Kwantung Army increased its attack on the Northeast Anti-Japanese League, and the Anti-Japanese League entered an extremely difficult period.
At that time, Song Yifu, who was the secretary of the Jidong Provincial CPC Committee, could not bear to live in Hiding in Tibet all day, so he took the initiative to take the funds for our party's activities to the Japanese and became a traitor.
As one of the senior leaders of our party in the northeast, Song Yifu naturally knew the whereabouts of Tian Zhongqiao, so in order to show himself to the Japanese, he informed the Japanese army of Tian Zhongqiao's hiding place, and in this way, Tian Zhongqiao was imprisoned by the Japanese army without knowing what had happened.
Fortunately, at that time, the Japanese army was still suspicious of Song Yifu's surrender, so it was unable to determine the specific identity of Tian Zhongqiao for a while, so it did not pay too much attention, and when the Japanese army relaxed its vigilance, the organization successfully rescued her.
But what Tian Zhongqiao did not expect was that around the Spring Festival in 1939, she was arrested and imprisoned again.
Compared with the last lucky escape, Tian Zhongqiao's re-imprisonment brought her endless torture.
The enemy seemed to have already grasped her true identity, so they took her directly to the interrogation room and tortured her in order to be able to ask more core secrets from her mouth.
Tiger stools, chili water, soldering irons, rolling iron barrels... As long as there were torture devices in the interrogation room, Tian Zhongqiao almost suffered once. The weak Tian Zhongqiao could not resist these tortures, and within a few days she was tortured to death; but even so, she refused to utter a word to the enemy's frantic interrogation.
However, what Tian Zhongqiao did not expect was that she would see her husband Xun Yukun in the gloomy interrogation room.
On this day, she was dragged from her cell by the enemy to the interrogation room.
Because her inner revolutionary conviction was firm enough, she did not feel any fear of the torture she was going to encounter next; but what she did not expect was that it was her husband Xun Yukun who was sitting on a chair in the interrogation room that day, waiting for her arrival with a teapot.
Seeing this person who gets along day and night, now safe and sound, and even some of the scenery is proud... Tian Zhongqiao, who was tortured to despair, also suddenly understood: her husband had betrayed.
Still
Xun Yukun was a member of the Jidong Provincial Party Committee before the rebellion; like Song Yifu's rebellion, Xun Yukun also voluntarily surrendered to the Japanese army because he could not stand the hard life of hiding in Tibet; later, in order to get a chance to get a promotion, he even said the location of his wife Tian Zhongqiao's mission.
This day when he came to the interrogation room, Xun Yukun had come to the prison to persuade him to surrender.
Seeing that his wife was tortured, instead of having any pain, he advised Tian Zhongqiao:
"Nakatsuki, don't blame me for offering you out, you know that our life there is too difficult; it is better to join the Japanese like me, at least to ensure that we survive..."
When he heard these cheeky exhortations, Tian Zhongqiao was completely angry.
Only to see her break free from the Japanese detention, suddenly rush to the table, pick up the ashtray on the table and throw it at Xun Yukun.
It wasn't until Xun Yukun, who was a thief with a weak heart, dodged that the enemies on both sides reacted and dragged Tian Zhongqiao, who was covered in scales, back to the cell.
[When she learned of her husband's rebellion, she cleverly used a note to get rid of her husband]
The husband's rebellion made Tian Zhongqiao really nervous.
She is not afraid of torture, she is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that her husband, who has no bottom line, will confess more things to the enemy.
In order to ensure the safety of the organization, Tian Zhongqiao, who is trapped in a deep prison cell, can only find a way to get rid of her husband alone.
Therefore, when he was severely tortured again the next day, Tian Zhongqiao pretended to be afraid.
She said to the enemy, "I recruit all of them, I am Xun Yukun's wife; according to the organization's arrangement, the two of us must play a bitter meat trick so that our husband can gain your trust and smoothly break into you." ”
Such "confession" completely confused the enemy.
They had already been suspicious of Xun Yukun's courtesy, and now Tian Zhongqiao's words had aggravated their suspicions.
Therefore, Xun Yukun, who treasoned against the enemy, also became the object of the enemy's key examination.
On the other hand, Tian Zhongqiao, the enemy felt that she was "meritorious in reporting", so he gradually let down his guard against her.
As her detention grew longer, the enemy allowed her to leave the cell and even arranged for her to wash her clothes and clean the yard.
For these arrangements, Tian Zhongqiao has always resisted. But in order to escape the clutches of the devil, she could only pretend to be full of joy.
In this way, Tian Zhongqiao, who washed the enemy's clothes and made groceries all day, also began to think about how to make the enemy believe in himself more.
Until one day, Rikou collected a large amount of clothes for Tian Zhongqiao to wash; but what she did not expect was that there were even Xun Yukun's dirty clothes among these clothes.
After seeing these clothes, Tian Zhongqiao suddenly had a brilliant plan.
Only to see that she took advantage of Riko's lack of attention to stuff a note into the mezzanine of Xun Yukun's clothes, which read:
After pretending to surrender and gaining the trust of the Japanese army, he went to the third stone crevice of the stone stone stone next to the crooked neck pine tree behind Diao Ling Mountain to receive the next task. Be careful when working undercover. ”
To be more realistic, she specially washed the notes along with her clothes and then dried them for the enemy.
At this time, in order to prevent communists from infiltrating the Japanese army and the flow of intelligence information, they would search for things coming and going; and Xun Yukun, who was already suspicious, was the focus of investigation.
Sure enough, the next day, the enemy sent surveyors to the place written on the note to inquire.
As for the location on the note, Tian Zhongqiao was not worried at all.
Because that point of contact is real. The reason why he dared to expose that important contact point to the enemy was because Tian Zhongqiao clearly knew that our party had a discipline of secrecy, and once he was arrested, the contact point would be immediately abandoned, so what was left to the enemy was only an empty shell and would not cause damage to our party personnel.
Sure enough, when the Japanese army found that there were indeed traces of contact at that location, they immediately interrogated Xun Yukun; but Xun Yukun was in a state of limbo, claiming that he was unaware of the existence of this contact point.
Such a difficult argument completely angered the enemy;
They determined that Xun Yukun was an undercover agent who had surrendered falsely, and they also believed that they had been turned around by this "undercover" group, so they directly executed Xun Yukun.
Xun Yukun's death indirectly completed Tian Zhongqiao's escape.
Because she accidentally used a note to end her husband's life, the Japanese army became more and more trusting of her, and the attention and surveillance of her gradually became smaller.
Therefore, it did not take long for Tian Zhongqiao to escape from the clutches of the enemy again with the efforts of the organization.
Unfortunately, in 1941, Tian Zhongqiao, who had just improved in health, was again captured by the enemy while on a mission near Mudanjiang; because it was the third time he was imprisoned, the enemy also completely determined Tian Zhongqiao's identity, so he tortured her inhumanely, but even so, Tian Zhongqiao never revealed a word.
At this time, the enemy also became cunning, and in order to pry open Tian Zhongqiao's mouth, they first imprisoned her, and then coldly interrogated and tortured her, in an attempt to completely destroy Tian Zhongqiao's will in this raid.
Under this repeated torture, Tian Zhongqiao's spirit was hit hard, and the whole person fell into a state of semi-madness.
But even if the mental state was not controlled, the enemy did not get a word of information from Tian Zhongqiao.
Because the enemy secretly detained Tian Zhongqiao this time, everyone did not know her whereabouts; as the War of Resistance Against Japan became more and more severe, comrades thought that Tian Zhongqiao had died heroically.
It was not until August 1945, after the surrender of Japan, that the surviving Tian Zhongqiao was found in a prison in Heilongjiang.
At this time, she had been tortured all over her body, and her mental state was out of control.
The leaders of the organization could not bear it, so they inquired around to find an old Chinese medicine doctor for her treatment; finally, under the careful care of the medical staff, Tian Zhongqiao's mental state gradually returned to normal, and his body also improved significantly.

It is worth mentioning that when Tian Zhongqiao was rescued, he did not immediately recuperate, but dragged his weak and sick body, waded through the mountains and waters into the deep mountains and dense forests of Wuchang, and took the more than 200 surviving people under wang Yachen, the former commander of the Tenth Anti-Japanese Army, out of the Mang mountains and personally handed them over to General Li Zhaolin, commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese League.
You must know that this is the only CCP armed force that has always been engaged in military struggle against the Japanese and Kosovo in the territory of northeast China.
The brave Tian Zhongqiao once again used his own way to protect the surviving team.
【Words at the end】
What happened to Tian Zhongqiao later?
Because she has been tortured in prison three times, Tian Zhongqiao's body has been unable to have children, so she has never remarried.
But she was not alone in this life, as an anti-Japanese fighter, she has adopted more than 10 martyr orphans and raised them with her own efforts.
In March 2005, the 98-year-old heroine of the Anti-League completed this hard life; before dying, she was longing for her to finally meet her former comrades-in-arms...
Heroes will pass away, and history will be gone; but even if these great years have annihilated too many stories, the heroic ancestors who defended their homes and defended the country are worth remembering forever.
The three words "Tian Zhongqiao" may not be remarkable, and they may be very strange.
But it was this weak woman who carried the burden of defending her family and defending the country with her own shoulders, resisted the enemy's torture with her thin body, and made outstanding contributions to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese nation with rock-solid perseverance and bravery.
Therefore, she is the representative of the indomitable spirit of the Chinese, the pride and model of the Chinese women's circle, and the revolutionary ancestor who devoted her life to loyalty and blood.
Even though the world is reckless and the years are vast, there are some stories that some people deserve to be remembered for a lifetime.
