When the decisive battle of Huaihai was about to break out, Chiang Kai-shek, who was deeply aware that the Huaihai Campaign was about to fail, began to seduce Du Yuming's family, hoping that they would immediately leave for Taiwan, which was not good news for Du Yuming, who was commanding the battle at the front, after all, his family members went to Taiwan, as if their bottom card was already in Chiang Kai-shek's hands. After learning that his wife and children had settled in Taiwan, Du Yuming could only let go of his hands and feet and fight hard during the Battle of Huaihai, but he was eventually captured.
After being captured, Du Yuming had completely changed into a person after being transformed by Gong Delin, so that for decades to come, he was regarded as an outlier in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, which would be painful for his family. After Du Yuming's death in 1981, Du Yuming's body was stored for half a month, which made his family angry, so what was the reason why Du Yuming's body was stored for half a month?
1. A treacherous commitment
As early as when Du Yuming went to Xuzhou to participate in commanding the troops to meet the battle, Chiang Kai-shek made many promises to him, and later made a lot of wishes to his wife Cao Xiuqing, which made Cao Xiuqing see that Chiang Kai-shek was so sincere, so he took his children to Taiwan and began to settle in Taiwan.
However, before she could gain a foothold in Taiwan, Cao Xiuqing learned that her husband had been killed on the battlefield, which made her grief-stricken and helpless, so she was received by Chiang Kai-shek as Du Yuming's widow. After meeting Chiang Kai-shek, although Cao Xiuqing repeatedly told about his family's difficult situation, Chiang Kai-shek ignored it and quickly gave her a sum of money and sent her away.
Although Cao Xiuqing received a monthly subsidy, his life was getting more and more difficult, the prices on the market were soaring, and the people's lives were miserable, even Cao Xiuqing, as the widow of the general, felt that life was beginning to become more and more difficult, and the monthly subsidies began to be less and less than enough.
Just when his wife and children were living a difficult life in Taiwan, Du Yuming, who was in Gongdelin, won a victory in ideological reform, and he not only changed his appearance and changed his personality, but also decided to do something that would help the country and the people after his release from prison in the future.
With this idea, Du Yuming actively reformed and soon received a pardon. After the amnesty, Du Yuming was also invited to make a film publicizing the transformation of Gong Delin, and when this film spread to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek immediately regarded Du Yuming as an outlier and strictly forbade his family members to return to the mainland to visit their relatives.
This move made Du Yuming leave a lifelong regret, and later Cao Xiuqing, who was Du Yuming's wife because of this regret, was indignant about it, so how was this regret caused?
Second, the obstruction of the Taiwan authorities has triggered condemnation
Because of taiwan's obstruction, it was difficult for Cao Xiuqing to have a chance to get the real news of the mainland, until his son-in-law Yang Zhenning returned to the mainland after winning the Nobel Prize, which told Cao Xiuqing the real news.
After learning that her husband was still alive, Cao Xiuqing later came to Hong Kong despite the difficulties and came to the mainland from Hong Kong, and after stepping on the mainland's land, Cao Xiuqing immediately came to Beijing without stopping, and was reunited with her husband.
After seeing his wife who had been separated for a long time, Du Yuming's heart could be described as mixed feelings, but being able to reunite was already a thing that made Du Yuming feel very happy. After seeing that her husband had a job in the mainland and was still not worried about his life, compared to his life in Taiwan, it was a world of difference, so Cao Xiuqing finally applied to stay in the mainland and continue to live with her husband in Beijing.
Cao Xiuqing lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and it was not until 1981, after Du Yuming became seriously ill, that she was worried about a last wish of her husband. It turned out that Du Yuming hoped to see his children again before leaving, but this was a difficulty, after all, the children basically lived in Taiwan, but the Taiwan authorities ordered that Du Yuming's family members be forbidden to return to the mainland to visit their relatives. Therefore, when Du Yuming made this request, Cao Xiuqing, as his wife, made a mistake for a while.
However, with the attitude of trying it out, Cao Xiuqing still sent this request to the Taiwan authorities, but the Taiwan authorities ignored it until after Du Yuming's death, and the body was stored for nearly half a month or there was no news, which made Cao Xiuqing feel indignant, and later she learned that the Taiwan authorities intended to obstruct this intercession, and then she openly condemned this act of the Taiwan authorities.
In addition to Cao Xiuqing's condemnation, Du Yuming's former friend Zheng Dongguo also severely condemned it, saying that this kind of behavior of the Taiwan authorities is no different from that of a villain, and this evaluation is also to the point. Soon after, Chiang Ching-kuo, under pressure, apologized to Du Yuming's family, but it was already too late.
III. Conclusion:
Du Yuming, as Chiang Kai-shek's former right-hand man, can be described as an out-and-out red man, but it is such a red man's family that has not been treated well by the Chiang family dynasty in the future, but has been endless speculation. This was all chilling, so in the end the Taiwan authorities also apologized in a wave of condemnation, and also reflected their treacherous and ruthless side, so that future generations can see a fundamental reason for the collapse of the Chiang family dynasty.
