But we all know that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Shanghai was like a drunken ghost cave, where many people were drunk and dreaming of death, and how many young people with lofty ideals could bloom like lotuses from that muddy place? At first, Jiang Yiping also thought that he could keep his heart, but the luxurious life of drunken gold fans and lights and wines fascinated his eyes, and he soon lost himself and, like everyone else, indulged in the swamp of money and desire.

He forgot his love for the country and the yearning for revolution, and he also forgot the teachings of the elders in his family, and in order to be able to go to a higher level in Shanghai, he even used his marriage as a chip. He married the daughter of Yu Qiaqing, a famous business magnate in Shanghai at that time, and mixed better and better with the help of Yu Qiaqing, and even had contacts with him in black and white. Under his step-by-step depravity, he also gradually moved towards a road of no return.

Okamura was sent to China in 1944, and when he arrived in China, he was no different from other Japanese officers, massacring and abusing Chinese, and his hands were stained with the blood of Chinese. After Japan's surrender, Okamura became a prisoner of war, and according to the procedure he was supposed to be tried by a military court and punished. But the Chiang clique was not pure in their minds, because Okamura Ninji could be used as a force to contain our Party, and they tried to cooperate with Okamura Ninji to eliminate our Party.

Although they thought so, because Okamura Ningji was really guilty of the most heinous crime, which caused the anger of the people of the whole country, and everyone righteously demanded that he be tried, the Jiang clique was helpless and had no choice but to send Okamura Ningji to the court, but privately found a lawyer to defend him. As Okamura Ningji's defense lawyer is Jiang Yiping, originally he also had some patriotic feelings, and he also knew that Okamura Ningji's crime was extremely unforgivable, but under the threat and inducement of the Jiang clique, he still gave in and attended this legal trial.

Just when everyone thought that Okamura Ningji would undoubtedly die, Jiang Yiping's appearance gave everyone a blow in the head and made Chinese all over the world angry. Under Jiang Yiping's full defense, Okamura Ningji actually survived, and this demon whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Chinese people actually survived unscathed, and this result shocked and angered every Chinese, and they denounced Jiang Yiping as a traitor. When our Party learned of this result, it also issued a strong condemnation of the Chiang clique and demanded that Okamura Ninji be sent to our Party's trial court for trial.

This request was rejected by the Chiang clique, who went so far as to send back to Japan a first-class war criminal like Okamura Ninji. Unpopularity also confirms their subsequent failures.

After the Liberation War, Jiang Yiping also went to Taiwan, but his situation was not good, and the Chiang clique only regarded him as a pawn and ignored him after he had no role. Jiang Yiping's reputation is so discredited that even in Taiwan he is mostly unpopular, and even his family has cut him off. In his later years, he was destitute and even lived on the streets until his death in 1971.
