I really don't know why there are many people who have whitewashed those notorious people in history in society now, but those revolutionary heroes who died for the new China are constantly being slandered, and it is obvious that some people are really bad, and some people are successfully brainwashed.
Presumably people who have studied modern history should be familiar with the name Liu Wencai, Liu Wencai is definitely a landlord bully in the old society, his life is undoubtedly a heinous crime, did all the bad things, but such a person is actually whitewashed for him now, saying that he is actually not so bad and so on, it is really amazing!
In this article, we focus on Liu Wencai's criminal life and uncover the fate of Liu Wencai's wife and children after his death.
Liu Wencai is the son of Liu Jiadun in Anren Town, Dayi County, Sichuan Province, born in 1887, in fact, he was not a large landowner at the beginning, his "success" is directly related to his younger brother, who is the famous Liu Wenhui.
Liu Wenhui began to sign up for the army at the age of 13, but at that time in order to join the army lied that he was 16 years old, after graduating from the army school, Liu Wencai began his military career, unexpectedly Liu Wenhui was indeed very good, soon reused, and served as a regiment commander, brigade commander and other positions.
Just after his younger brother Liu Wenhui became the brigade commander of the Sichuan Army, the fate of his brother Liu Wencai changed dramatically, and under the care of his younger brother, Liu Wencai was arranged to be the director of the Yibin branch of the Sichuan Tobacco and Alcohol Company.
In this way, Liu Wencai changed from a common man to a powerful local figure overnight, since he mastered the tobacco and alcohol business, it was equivalent to mastering the center of wealth, and then Liu Wencai began to use the power in his hands to start amassing wealth.
And Liu Wencai must be a smart person, his younger brother is so good to him, he naturally has to return the favor and send money to his brother's army, and then Liu Wencai also held many positions, such as the director of the South Sichuan Anti-Smoking Investigation Department, the General Office of the Sichuan General Bureau of Taxation, etc.,
With the increasing power, Liu Wencai's ambition is naturally more inflated, he not only has money, but also military power, so he began his career as a landlord bully, not only wantonly looting the people, but also bullying the people, and his methods are cruel to the point of heinousness!
So how did Liu Wencai fish and meat the villagers?
This Liu Wencai is really a person who is extremely beastly, he not only collects taxes, but also cleverly establishes many bright eyes, such as what flower donations, hoe donations, toilet donations, etc., in addition to a lot of commercial taxes, the past caravan must pay taxes, otherwise the goods will be wanted.
And Liu Wencai has scavenged so many people's fat and people's ointment, his life is naturally drunk and golden, he has his own private manor, and also adopts a combination of Chinese and Western styles, so to speak, it is like a royal palace.
Moreover, Liu Wencai also forced the people to grow poppies, on the one hand, they can smoke themselves, on the other hand, they can collect taxes, and if they dare to have ordinary people who do not plant, then Liu Wencai also has a way to deal with you, that is, to collect lazy taxes on you.
Liu Wencai also caused great harm to our comrades during the revolutionary period, and repeatedly resorted to violent means to suppress us; in March 1928, Liu Wencai sent military and police to suppress us, resulting in the massacre of dozens of our revolutionaries.
And how did Liu Wencai end?
On October 17, 1949, Liu Wencai fell ill and died on his way back to Anren Town.
So after Liu Wencai died of illness, what happened to his wife and children?
Liu Wencai married a total of 5 wives and concubines, but the second room Yang Zhonghua gave birth to 7 children to him, and the original Lu family also had two children earlier, but perhaps it was retribution, and later both of the children died of illness one after another, and the Lu family himself died of depression soon after, and the second room Yang Zhonghua also worked after Liu Wencai's downfall, perhaps because he was not used to a hard life, and died not long after.
The third wife was Ling Junru, a woman from the Qinglou, and the second room was resolutely opposed at that time, but how could she be able to beat Liu Wencai.
The fourth room is the distant cousin Liang Huiling of the third room Ling Junru, because Ling Junru found that everyone looked down on her at all since she got married, so she was very angry, in order to successfully get rid of herself, she introduced her cousin Liang Huiling to Liu Wencai, and she ran to Chengdu, and once fell into a beggar, and her cousin Liang Huiling also remarried later.
Wang Yuqing of Wufang later remarried, also worked as a female worker, relying on her own craftsmanship to earn money to support herself, and only died of illness in 2003.
And Liu Wencai's 7 children actually naturally lived very comfortably at first, the eldest son and eldest daughter Liu Yiyun (died in 1938) are old smoking guns, smoking opium all day long, especially the eldest son also likes to gamble, the second son and the third son are quite good, come back with the help of Liu Wenhui, life can still live.
However, after the death of his father Liu Wencai, seven children underwent earth-shaking changes, among which the eldest son emptied his body because of long-term opium use, and died not long after.
The youngest son, Liu Yuangui, joined the army, but later died in an accidental car accident on the way home from the army.
