Although the days are getting better and better, but their family does not know words, usually even write letters and read letters to find those who are literate, they think that there needs to be a literate person at home, so they spent money to send Xie Wendong to the private school, Although Xie Wendong was more than 20 years old at that time, he also had a high interest in literacy, so he went to the private school for 4 years, and then went home to cultivate silkworms and move around.
In 1924, Xie Wendong was already 37 years old, in that era, basically what life would be like in this life has been decided, but there were two major events in that year, of which the second thing completely changed Xie Wendong's life, the first thing was the flood incident that year, resulting in the Xie family's crops were all flooded, the grain was not harvested, the second thing was that Xie Wendong took his brother to north Korea to release silkworms, clashed with others, they fought with others, and as a result, a misstep beat people to death.
Out of life, this is a big deal, he rushed to take his brother back home, and then the family simply ran away, so their family ran to the black mountain mouth in Longshan District, Yilan County, where they settled down, the family opened up the wasteland to cultivate land, the Xie family are hard-working people, in just three or four years, they have sixty or seventy acres of cultivated land, and there are more than ten cattle and horses.

After the September 18 Incident, General Li Du led the troops to resist the Japanese army, and also went to the Tulong District to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance, and the Tulong District also responded to the call and formed the 10th Mixed Cavalry Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army, and Xie Wendong also became the regimental commander in it, but because of the chaotic management, coupled with the inability to defeat the Japanese army, it was directly disbanded later.
In 1933, the Japanese army immigrated to the northeast, wanting to confiscate the people's photos and guns, as soon as the news came out, the people were bombed, and they were very clear in their hearts, the ground was gone, the ground was not their own, the gun was gone, the life was not their own.
After the news reached the Tulong District, Xie Wendong and the Sixth Security Chief Jing Zhenqing discussed the method, the two discussed for a long time, and finally decided that the two militia regiments would unite, Xie Wendong as the regimental commander, resist the Japanese army, and then the Japanese army came to the Tulong area and began to rob the people of things, but did not forcibly confiscate guns and photos.
So Xie Wendong asked everyone not to worry first, he took everyone to the Yilan County Pseudo County Office to file a complaint, the Japanese felt that these people simply ate the heart of the bear and the leopard's guts, the investigation found that Xie Wendong was instigating behind, so he removed Xie Wendong from his position as the chief of the security guard.
Then later, the Japanese army began to forcibly confiscate guns and photos, and even directly sent troops to the village to grab, the people were forced to be anxious, so they went to find Xie Wendong, wanted him to come out, Xie Wendong was also very angry, so he pulled up a team of more than 700 people and began his anti-Japanese journey.
On March 9, 1934, Xie Wendong, together with the Mountain Forest Team, the Great Knife Society, and other organizations, invaded taiping town, and thus began the journey of confronting the Japanese army head-on, which soon reached the ears of the Japanese army's Ōsa Iizuka Asagiri, who was attending the banquet at the time, and when he heard the news, he was furious, and said on the spot that he personally led the team to eliminate them the next day, and the hotel owner heard that he was going to personally lead the team to deal with this group of anti-Japanese troops, so he passed the news to Xie Wendong.
Xie Wendong and Jing Zhenqing discussed with them and decided to ambush Iizuka Asagyu, so they went to Baijiagou overnight, set up an ambush in Baijiagou, the next day the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, Xie Wendong They immediately shot, Iizuka Asago hurriedly got out of the car, shouted loudly, don't fight again, we have something to say, everyone looks like an officer, so one by one they all hit him, Iizuka Asago was directly killed on the spot.
The death of Iizuka Asagiri made the Japanese army angry, they sent a large number of troops to surround and suppress Xie Wendong, the Japanese army was strong, Xie Wendong they could only fight while retreating, and then simply merged the team, elected Xie Wendong as the commander-in-chief, the team was called the Anti-Japanese People's Salvation Army, a total of 1430 people, divided into five brigades, Xie Wendong is also very clear about the importance of discipline, many times emphasized discipline, and stressed that absolutely can not bully the people, so very popular with the people, the people have voluntarily joined their ranks, They soon grew to more than 2,700 people.
After that, Xie Wendong went into the mountains to fight a guerrilla war with the Japanese army, the Japanese army found that he could not help him, so he retreated, Xie Wendong returned to Tulong Mountain, continued to confront the Japanese army, the Japanese army could do nothing for him, and even issued a heavy bounty, "those who capture Xie Wendong alive, reward 40,000 oceans, sacrifice Xie Wendong's head, reward 10,000 oceans", the common people know that Xie Wendong is an anti-Japanese hero, they all spontaneously help him, no one chooses to betray Xie Wendong.
Later, the Japanese army found that this was useless, so they came to recruit the bottom of the pot, began to use psychological warfare, went to various villages to announce that they did not collect land photos and guns, let them all go home and cultivate the land well, don't fight for Xie Wendong anymore, hearing this news, many people have left the team, and finally Xie Wendong only has 300 people left, there is no way, Xie Wendong can only take them to hide in the mountains.
In January 1935, Xie Wendong met Li Huatang, Li Huatang was General Li Du's subordinate, he was also a member of the anti-Japanese army, so Xie Wendong followed him to fight the Japanese, and then met Zhao Shangzhi, the three of them combined, they united their teams, the three teams formed the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition General Headquarters, Zhao Shangzhi as the commander-in-chief, Li Huatang as the deputy commander-in-chief, Xie Wendong as the chairman of the committee.
Later they led this team to win one victory after another, in September 1936, Xie Wendong's team was reorganized, reorganized into the Eighth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, Xie Wendong also held the position of military commander, originally Xie Wendong had already made great contributions, if he could persist next, he should also be able to become an anti-Japanese hero like Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi, but unfortunately the position was high, his mentality also changed, and he was not the one who wanted to resist Japan.
In 1937, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the Northeast United Army, at that time the Northeast United Army ushered in the most difficult time, not only serious losses of personnel, even guns, ammunition and food and medicine were extremely short, under the suppression and bribery of the Japanese army, some people of the Northeast United Army were shaken, including Xie Wendong.
Later, the Japanese army also touched the hiding place of Xie Wendong's family, the Japanese army hated Xie Wendong to the bone, and immediately launched a fierce attack, Xie Wendong organized personnel to fight to the death, in the battle Xie Wendong's mother, daughter, brothers were all killed by the Japanese army, this battle Xie Wendong lost 8 relatives, after that, the Japanese army persuaded Xie Wendong to surrender, after the persuasion of his subordinates and the Japanese army, Xie Wendong surrendered to the Japanese army.
The Japanese military top brass were very happy to hear the news of Xie Wendong's surrender, and also took Xie Wendong to visit the puppet Manchu capital, and then took Xie Wendong to Tokyo, where he let Iizuka Asagiri's family chat with Xie Wendong, Iizuka Asagiri's family said that they did not blame him, the "acting skills" of the Japanese army made Xie Wendong have no place to look at himself, and then he even visited the Yasukuni Shrine, wept in front of the so-called "Monument of Loyalty", repented of his crimes, and then he wholeheartedly helped the Japanese to do things and help the Japanese to harm Chinese.
Moreover, he was also very fierce, and when the Soviet Red Army entered the northeast, because he was red in the equipment of the Soviet Red Army, he directly buried a company of red army drunk and alive.
Later, when Japan surrendered, he pulled up another team to become bandits, and plagued the civilians around him.
At that time, for the sake of considering the overall situation, our army decided to abandon its previous suspicions and handed over an olive branch to Xie Wendong, who was virtual and vicious with our army, but in fact, behind the scenes, they had already committed adultery with the Kuomintang.
In order to win xie Wendong, the Kuomintang sent him a large amount of property, and Xie Wendong also tore his face with our army for this money, and he directly led the bandit army to attack the suijiang county town in Heilongjiang, and more than 50 cadres and soldiers of our army were killed by him.
After our army received this news, it immediately sent a large army to suppress the bandits, and the command of the bandits composed of He Jinnian and Tan Youlin was established, and they immediately encircled and suppressed Xie Wendong, and under the blows of the People's Liberation Army, Xie Wendong fled into the mountains.
At that time, the snow has been falling non-stop, and the deep mountains in the northeast are unfathomable, the People's Liberation Army has never been able to determine the location of Xie Wendong, so the People's Liberation Army went to consult the local hunters, the hunters said, after such a long battle, Xie Wendong estimated that there was no food for a long time, and now it is estimated that he is hunting animals for food, if he is hunting animals, he will definitely leave food residues and animal fur, these things will attract crows, so where there are crows, there should be Xie Wendong.
After listening to the orion's words, He Jinnian thanked the hunter and said to the hunter, thank you so much, the party does everything for the people, but everything must also rely on the people.
After that, He Jinnian led the army to pursue Xie Wendong, and finally found Xie Wendong's bandits in a small temple, Xie Wendong was still bowing to the idol, the People's Liberation Army immediately surrounded the small temple, and shouted not to kill, but the bandits still shot at the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army quickly killed them, and finally only Xie Wendong was left.
At that time, a reporter, seeing that there was only one person left, rushed up with a video camera, and Xie Wendong looked at such a large caliber "weapon", thought it was a cannon, hurriedly put down his weapon and surrendered, and captured the bandit Xie Wendong alive.
On December 13, 1946, Xie Wendong's public trial, at that time many people came to participate in the congress, even the ordinary people who were fifty or sixty miles away from the county seat came to participate in the conference, the former anti-Japanese heroes, the former traitors, the former bandits, in the face of the angry crowd, not only did not repent, but also shouted, I was a hero of the anti-Japanese war, I killed a lot of Japanese, why can't you let me go?
If you know today, why did you know it in the first place? In the end, the public trial assembly pronounced Xie Wendong's death sentence and executed him immediately.
