Introduction: In the National Museum of China, the "No. 001 cultural relic" is a pair of gallows, and it is the "murder weapon" that hanged Li Dazhao, and the former national awakener was hanged three times by the enemy and tortured for up to 40 minutes. And Lei Hengcheng, the murderer of Li Dazhao, after decades of hiding his name, finally had to pay the price for his sins.
I. Revolutionary pioneer Li Dazhao
Li Dazhao was born in October 1889 in Hebei, when China was on the verge of the critical survival of the country and the nation, and under the impact of new ideas, China's awakened youth saw a new dawn.
It was against such a historical background that Li Dazhao threw himself into the revolutionary cause and embarked on the road of exploring ways to save the country and the people. During his studies in Todo Japan, he came into contact with Marxism, and when he returned to China in 1916, he threw himself into the dissemination of new ideas.
He was the earliest propagator of Marxist ideas in China, and during the reign of the Beiyang warlords, he was not hindered by danger, and even sacrificed his life for the light of China. As the revolutionary pioneer of the party, Li Dazhao is also one of the important founders of the party, and his influence and appeal have long become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the warlords.
In 1926, the revolutionary form in the north of the mainland deteriorated day by day after the "March 18 Massacre", and comrades in the party were wanted and hunted down, the most dangerous of which was Li Dazhao, who led the revolutionaries in the north. Faced with a dangerous situation, the comrades advised him: "Mr. Shouchang, in order to preserve the flame of revolution, you should withdraw first." But he gave up the opportunity to escape in advance for the sake of the country and the nation, and instead went into hiding to continue the revolutionary work.
Zhang Zuolin had long been eager to eat his flesh, so he ordered his minions Lei Hengcheng to search the whole city, and in the spring of 1927, when he heard that Li Dazhao and his family were hiding in the Soviet Embassy, Lei Hengcheng immediately led people to forcibly knock on the door of the Soviet Embassy.
And the reason why this Lei Hengcheng worked so hard was because he knew the value of Li Dazhao, and he could catch himself and soar, and if he could get any secrets from his mouth, the reward would naturally not be less.
2. Lei Hengcheng, a national sinner
Lei Hengcheng, nicknamed "Thunder Hammer", he was still somewhat related to the fallen nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he also studied in Japan in his early years, and after returning to China, he served in the Police Department of the Beijing Division, serving as a pawn of the Beiyang government.
When he arrested Li Dazhao, he still thought about learning more secrets from his mouth, he thought that Li Dazhao was a weak scholar who could not bear the torture at all, and he had long been familiar with torture.
Under his torture, Li Dazhao suffered a lot, and Lei Hengcheng even used all the torture devices that could be used on Li Dazhao's body, but did not get a single word from his mouth. He did not expect that the Communists were so hard-headed. However, in the face of Zheng Zheng's iron bones, he was not naturally admired, but on the contrary, he was ashamed and angry that he hindered his path to promotion.
On April 28, Zhang Zuolin, despite the opposition of public opinion, decided to hang Li Dazhao and other revolutionary volunteers, who were only 38 years old at the time of his death. When he walked awe-inspiring to the gallows, for the ideal in his heart, for the hope of China breaking through the darkness, he was not afraid of sacrifice, and he did not regret his choice.
He also gave one last speech on the hanging table, and today he was only hanged, but he could not kill communism, let alone extinguish the revolutionary flame that had been burning. Hopefully, he will continue his unfinished business later. Just after Li Dazhao's sacrifice, this executioner was also promoted to a knighthood because of his "meritorious service", and later became a loyal lackey of the Japanese.
Third, good and evil will be rewarded in the end
In 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, and the good days of this traitor came to an end, and he also knew that his sins were deep, and in order to save his life, he not only ran from the northeast to Beijing, but also lived in the city in anonymity. Later, he still felt unsafe, so he simply went to the temple to become a monk.
But he couldn't stand the hardships in the temple, and came out to tell people's fortunes, he used the identity of the monks, and it was nonsense to deceive and guess a few times, but he did not expect that the reputation spread like this, and more and more people were looking for him. Lei Heng, who had already drifted away, became a earner and moved to Shanghai to set up a stall, only to be recognized and reported to the Public Security Bureau.
In 1952, the murderer of Comrade Li Dazhao was finally arrested. In the face of cross-examination by the public security organs, he confessed and did not have any objection to the death penalty. But just before the execution, he suddenly made a request, hoping not to hit him on the head, to leave him a whole body, for a dying person, the public security organs fulfilled his last wish.
Conclusion: Skynet is restored, and people always have to pay for what they have done. On April 26, 1953, with the sound of that gunshot, this evil traitor waited for his due fate, and his sinful, dark, and shameful life was also ended. Mr. Shouchang can also rest in peace. And look at the people who live and work in peace and contentment in today's ever-changing China, the ideals he fought for have been realized today, and this prosperous world is also as he wishes!
