In 1984, the staff sent a document to Comrade Deng Xiaoping and asked him to review it. This document is somewhat special in that it is a verdict announcing the execution of a prisoner.
After reading the document and being silent for a while, Deng Xiaoping asked the staff: "How is Chen Zaidao doing now?" ”
"Commander Chen has made it clear that the state has the state law and the family rules, and since he has committed a crime, he should be punished by law." The staff replied.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping was reading the document
Listening to the staff, Deng Xiaoping nodded, and then wrote four words on the document: Agree to execution.
The person who was about to be executed was Chen Dongping, the son of the founding general Chen Zaidao
During the years of fighting for more than half a century, Chen Zaidao, who had endured hardships and hardships, was wise and courageous, and made great contributions to China's revolution and construction, and even Chairman Mao praised him as "really not simple."
Chen Zaidao and Chairman Mao Zedong were in The Qi
As the old saying goes, "The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix", with such an excellent father as an example, even if Chen Dongping cannot become the dragon and phoenix among the people, at least the fine traditions of the revolutionary ancestors can be passed down.
But these two things, Chen Dongping failed to do, on the contrary, he gradually drifted away on the road of indulgence.
In 1940, the 32-year-old Chen Zaidao was happy to love his son, for this child, Chen Zaidao gave high hopes, he named the child Chen Dongping, one is to pin the wish to pacify the East, the other is to hope that the child can grow up safely and healthily.
When Chen Dongping was born, Chen Zaidao was the commander of the Ji'nan Military Region, and although Chen Zaidao loved his children, due to the tight war situation in the front, Chen Zaidao could only devote all his time and energy to consolidating and developing the anti-Japanese base area in southern Hebei, and had no time to take care of family affairs.

In 1943, Chen Zaidao and his wife entered the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an, and thought that they could accompany their son here, but because of their heavy work, Chen Zaidao and his wife could only send 3-year-old Chen Dongping to a nursery.
Not long after, Chen Dongping fell ill, and Chen Zaidao and his wife took Chen Dongping back to their side.
Looking at the emaciated Chen Dongping, Chen Zaidao's heart ached, although he was a commander, he was so poor that he couldn't even get a penny.
In order to buy nutritional products for Chen Dongping, Chen Zaidao did not hesitate to sell the pen given to him by his friend, which bought Chen Dongping a bag of brown sugar.
Chen Dongping
During the Liberation War, Chen Zaidao returned to the front line, and due to the difficult conditions on the march, Chen Zaidao fostered the frail Chen Dongping to an old local peasant family.
At that time, the conditions were difficult, and the people often could not fill their stomachs, but the old farmers would rather be hungry themselves, and they would also find ways to make Chen Dongping full and wear warm.
Chen Dongping is very naughty and often makes mistakes, but because of the "son of the commander", the old farmer does not dare to punish him, which makes Chen Dongping's temperament become more and more "wild".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Dongping was taken back to his side by Chen Zaidao and his wife, and at this time Chen Zaidao held an important position in the army, and he had no time to take care of him, and the burden of educating his children fell on his wife Zhang Shuangqun alone.
Because Chen Dongping is the eldest son, and Chen Zaidao and his wife have not been able to take good care of Chen Dongping before, this makes Zhang Shuangqun, who has a mild temperament, feel very indebted in her heart, and she began to be obedient to Chen Dongping.

Even if Chen Dongping was mischievous and bullied his classmates outside, Zhang Shuangqun could not bear to criticize him, and she even persuaded Chen Zai: "Isn't this how children are when they are young?" It's good to grow up. ”
But the small tree does not repair or slip straight, people do not repair the qiao, Chen Dongping did not restrain because of his mother's tolerance.
In high school, Chen Dongping did not want to become the successor of socialism, nor did he have the intention of studying in school to keep to himself, but often skipped class and colluded with some fox friends in society to cause trouble everywhere.
After graduating from high school, Chen Dongping has a bad track record, in addition to the textbook knowledge has not been well learned, like smoking, drinking, gambling, he is all exquisite, fighting has become the norm of his life.
In addition, Chen Dongping also messed with the relationship between men and women; he "borrowed" the momentum of his father Chen Zaidao to build a room in the military region guest house; every time Chen Dongping met a beautiful girl, he would find ways to bring the girl to the guest house.
Chen Zaidao had naturally heard about his son's behavior, but because of his heavy work and long-term absence, Chen Zaidao failed to guide Chen Dongping in time.
Chen Zaidao knew very well that if Chen Dongping was allowed to do such a wrongdoing, sooner or later there would be trouble, and in order to let his son change his bad habits, Chen Zaidao also racked his brains.
In 1960, the enrollment policy of the Kazakh military industry was relaxed, and Chen Zaidao, who heard the news, was ecstatic, he knew that the life of the army could exercise a person's character, so Chen Zaidao decided to send his son to the Kazakh military industry for remodeling.
Kazakh military industry
Kazakh military industry is the dream of mathematicians, the students here are undoubtedly excellent in character and learning, and many of them are high-ranking cadres, so Chen Dongping first arrived in Kazakhstan military industry, and did not behave too arrogantly as before.
But not long after, Chen Dongping's stubborn habits were undoubtedly exposed, he was at the bottom of his grades, and he often fought with his classmates, which made Chen Dongping punished in the disciplined Kazakh military industry.
In 1962, Chen Dongping, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, could not bear the constraints of discipline, and he had a plan, saying that he was sick and suspended from school. However, when Chen Zaidao learned that his son was not really ill, he was angry, and he ordered Chen Dongping to be confined to a confinement room.
Chen Dongping, who was imprisoned, would not reflect on what he had done, and in order to pass the time, Chen Dongping began to listen to Taiwanese radio.

At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was delusional to counterattack the mainland, so he set up several radio stations to slander New China and brainwash young people.
For Chen Dongping, the "democratic" world preached by Chiang Kai-shek is too demagogic, and Chen Dongping fantasizes about "democracy and freedom" and fantasizes about living in the "fairy tale world" of Taiwan.
So he began to listen to the radio frequently, and eventually his mind fell, and Chen Dongping sent a letter to Taiwan's secret service organs to "go up the mountain and join the gang."
Taiwan
When the secret service learned that Chen Dongping was Chen Zaidao's son, they were ecstatic, and the agents almost took turns to fight, they brainwashed Chen Dongping and instilled chen Dongping with wrong values.
The secret service also promised Chen Dongping that as long as he could provide some valuable information, he would be able to obtain a high-ranking official Houlu and enjoy a carefree life after taiwan.
In December 1962, the Hunan Provincial Public Security Department seized a letter from hitchhikers, which had been sent from hitchhiker, and although the signature of the letter was under a pseudonym, the public security organs still found Chen Dongping's head through handwriting comparison.
Chen Dongping's deeds made a lot of noise and even alarmed Chairman Mao, who said to Mao Yuanxin in Chen Dongping's dormitory: "Listening to the enemy's broadcasts, you believe like that?" The enemy does not even have food to eat, can they believe their words? People like Wei Lihuang look down on him, but does the enemy look up to him? ”
In the end, considering that Chen Dongping was still young and did not say any substantive information in his correspondence with the agents, the organization only expelled him from the military and sent him to the farm for transformation.
Before leaving, Chen Zaidao repeatedly told Chen Dongping to reflect well and be honest, but Chen Dong did not care about his father's bitter mouth. Of course, Chen Dongping did not know that this would be his last chance to become a man again.
Chen Zai said
After the renovation, Chen Dongping was arranged to work in the Henan Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau, and although the work was decent, Chen Dongping's behavior was really incomprehensible.
Chen Dongping took advantage of his position to recruit workers and transfer jobs as bait, and in a few years, he raped 25 people and took a large number of indecent photos of the victims.
After each evil deed, Chen Dongping would arrogantly reveal his identity and threaten the victim: "Call the police and kill you!" ”
It was not until 1983, during the strike-hard crackdown, that the victims plucked up the courage to choose to report the case to the police. After meticulous investigation by the public security organs, chen Dongping was arrested and brought to justice after grasping a large amount of criminal evidence of Chen Dongping.
In August 1984, Chen Dongping was sentenced to death by the Luoyang Intermediate People's Court in accordance with law.
On the way to the execution ground, the masses set off firecrackers and enthusiastically supported the court's verdict, and the scene was no less than the scene when Chen Zaidao defeated the enemy and the masses of the people warmly celebrated.
