On August 18, 1947, the "crazy old man" who had been imprisoned by the military command for 14 years and stayed in 11 prisons actually escaped from under his nose! The military commander regretted it and clapped his legs and shouted that he had been deceived.

This "crazy old man" is called Han Zidong and is an underground party member.

In 1908, Han Zidong was born in Yanggu County, Shandong. Because his family was poor, he worked half-time and half-study when he was in college in Beiping, and he did not want to meet a mysterious person Zhou Yi in the bookstore where he worked, which took him to the thrilling road of agents.

At the age of 24, Han Zidong became an agent on the hidden front and began to dance with wolves. But he proudly said: "From this day on, I feel that I have become the happiest person!" He was determined to fight for the cause of the revolution all his life.

Relying on the cover of his student identity, Han Zidong successfully broke into Dai Kasa's "Blue Jacket Society" and completed a number of secret tasks assigned by the organization.

Who knows, later the traitors informed, Han Zidong was arrested, and began a long prison career.

In prison, Han Zidong suffered inhuman torture, fire, electric shock, tiger stool, bamboo stick through the finger... Han Zidong passed out again and again, and once the forensic doctor could not touch his pulse, ready to open a death certificate, who knew that his life was big and survived.

Han Zidong has been shouting injustice and has never admitted his true identity. Torture could not get any information from his mouth, and with the change of the war situation, the military command could only helplessly transfer Han Zidong from the prison in Beiping to Nanjing, and later to the White Mansion and Zha DiDong in Hankou, Yiyang, Guiyang, and Chongqing, and a total of 11 prisons in 14 years.

In the first six years, he did not let go of a wind, more than two thousand days and nights, Han Zidong faced every day, in addition to torture or torture, just in his early thirties, he was tortured to the face of wrinkles, teeth were all pulled out, wearing tattered clothes, the whole person looked like a little old man in his fifties.

"What to see? Crazy old man! The agent was furious with his empty gaze.

Han Zidong continued to stare blankly, smirking and talking nonsense. It was raining when the wind was blowing, but Han Zidong ran around the prison wall in a crazy and turbulent circle. The agents sneered at "fighting crazy" and "can't help but fight", and slowly relaxed their vigilance against Han Zidong.

But what they don't know is that this is exactly the escape plan carefully prepared by Han Zidong and his fellow inmates!

In the Chongqing White Mansion, there are also revolutionary volunteers such as Luo Shiwen, Che Yaoxian, Xiao RadishTou's family, and Jiang Jie.

Mr. Law was elected secretary of the provisional party branch, and they discussed a collective escape from prison. In order to one day successfully escape from prison, in the cramped cell of people, they invented the "8" line of action, just to take a few more steps to achieve "fitness".

When the wind is released, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, Han Zidong will run around the prison in a circle, in fact, secretly keeping the prison environment in mind and collecting intelligence for his comrades-in-arms.

As if with a premonition, the agents also raised the prison wall and pulled a circle of electric barbed wire on it, and the plan to riot the escape from the prison "died".

While the revolutionaries were waiting for a new opportunity, in July 1946, the civil war broke out, and the agents transferred some of their comrades to Chongqing's slag cave.

Here, comrades were called out one after another, but never returned, and they were all secretly killed.

Luo Shiwen quickly said to his comrades: "If you can escape one, it is one!" On this day, he was also called by name, and before leaving, he secretly said in Han Zidong's ear: "Find an opportunity to escape!" Luo Shiwen also did not come back.

Han Zidong always kept in mind his "escape mission", and finally he waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because Han Zidong had been crazy for a long time and had lost his threat in the eyes of the agents, they would occasionally ask Han Zidong to do miscellaneous things.

In mid-August, Han Zidong was taken by the guard Lu Zhaochun to Ciqikou to buy vegetables, and Han Zidong followed behind with a basket. When passing by a mahjong shop, Lu Zhaochun met an acquaintance and talked, and was pulled in by an acquaintance to play mahjong.

Only Han Zidong and the service soldiers were left at the door, and Han Zidong thought to himself, "We must seize this opportunity!" ”

He pretended to be crazy and stupid, pretended to go to the toilet, told the guards to relax their vigilance, and then walked out from under the eyes of the agent, and as soon as he left the agent's field of vision, he ran in the opposite direction.

The exercise in prison played a role, allowing him to run to the river in one breath. Luckily, he met kind fishermen who transported him across the river. Along the way, he was helped by other well-wishers, allowing him to successfully evade the pursuit of the agents.

After a long journey of 45 days, Han Zidong finally reached the Liberated Area, where he reported the situation to the organization and exposed the brutal atrocities of the Kuomintang one by one.

He returned to his hometown in 1947. Seeing this dirty old man in front of her, the wife was stunned, thinking that it was a crazy old man who had fled somewhere, and could hardly recognize him!

People were touched by his tenacious spirit, and his story was also written into the novel "Red Rock", becoming the archetypal character of Hua Ziliang.

Fourteen years, more than 5,000 days and nights, in the dark prison of the dark, he has always been loyal and unyielding, endured humiliation and burden, fought with the enemy's fighting spirit, and even in a desperate situation, he also blossomed a stubborn flower of faith in his heart. Such a strong will is admirable!
