In the damp and cold cell, only a blinding light shone through the small window on the wall into this desperate darkness. An old man in his half-hundred-year-old sat decadently in the corner, muttering some illegible words in his mouth: "Counter-revolution... How did I become a counter-revolutionary? ”
He was loyal and devoted his life to the great cause of the party for the sake of new China. In any case, he never imagined that in his old age, he would become a counter-revolutionary shouted at by everyone. What exactly went wrong? Once those pictures of birth and death, scene after scene like a movie back in front of the old man's eyes, but he could not doubt the party's decision, nor could he doubt that the superior who had always treated him sincerely, perhaps the wrong person, had always been himself.
Walker's
Living in this way has exceeded the limit of his patience, preferring to die with incense in the branches, He Zeng blew down in the north wind, the old man sighed, desperately stabbed the chopsticks in his hand into the eye socket, and the blood suddenly gushed out. Fortunately, the prison guards found this short-sighted old man during patrol and sent him to the hospital in time to save his life. Who is this old man? Why are they considered counter-revolutionaries, and why are they committing suicide in prison?
This flesh-and-blood man, named Hua Kezhi, was a legendary assassin full of mysteries during the revolutionary period, and the assassination of Wang Jingwei, which was sensational in the past, was through him. Walkerzhi, originally born in a family of scholars, a well-off family, like him such a personable Confucian brother, as long as he chooses to go to the ocean for further study, the future is bound to be very good.
Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang and others
However, he did not covet so-called comfort. When he was nine years old, he personally experienced the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, and looked at the figure of his father running around all day for the revolutionary cause, and his young soul was greatly shaken, and since then his heart has germinated the patriotic feeling of profiting from the life and death of the country and avoiding it because of misfortune.
When he entered middle school, just when the May Fourth Movement made waves throughout the country, under the influence of the patriotic movement, he began to study the theories and programs of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and the wisdom in Mr. Sun's writings became the supreme program for saving the country in his heart, and he continued to explore and aspire to dedicate his life to becoming a follower of the Three People's Principles.
Jiang and Wang have always been at odds, just like this historical photograph
In 1920, the young Walker joined the Kuomintang to realize his lofty ideal of saving the country. After the "May Thirtieth" massacre, the CPC Prefectural Committee and the Kuomintang in Nanjing quickly united and held an emergency meeting. As one of the initiators of the conference, Walker played a crucial role.
After the meeting, he tirelessly led the crowd to the Nanjing Railway Station to publicize the railway workers and bus managers, who were touched by the patriotism of the students and promised to pick up and drop off the students in the parade for free. Walker knew the reason, moved with affection, and used his sincere and fiery heart to persuade the people of the city to reject all transactions with Britain and resist imperialism with practical actions.
The anti-imperialist movement was very effective, and Walkerzhi also served as the youth minister of the Nanjing Municipal Party Department because of his outstanding performance. At that time, the kuomintang's right-wing forces had not yet expanded rapidly, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists was still very harmonious, but this stable situation was quickly undermined by Chiang Kai-shek's forces.
Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek's open rebellion against the revolution caused countless Communists to fall in a pool of blood, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was no longer there. Hua Kezhi was heartbroken to see the situation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and shouted that in this life, he did not share the heavens with the Kuomintang traitor Chiang Kai-shek. He openly refused Chiang Kai-shek's solicitation, suffered bitter revenge, and was imprisoned three times, only to be rescued with the help of his old friend.
At this time, in the depths of Walker's heart, the determination to kill Chiang Kai-shek was already unforgettable. After his release from prison, he gathered anti-Chiang Kai-shek people everywhere and set up an "assassination squad" in a small, inconspicuous building in Shanghai, in which even Wang Yaqiao, known as the "Assassination King," was involved. Since the determination to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, Walkerzhi did not act impulsively, but calmly detailed the plan, because he knew that this assassination was a major event for the entire assassination team and for the revolution at that time, which was only allowed to succeed and not to fail.

During this period, all the pain was silently endured by the whole group, and they watched as Chiang Kai-shek gradually made the three eastern provinces into Japanese colonies and signed the humiliating "Shanghai Armistice Agreement", and the anger and sorrow in their hearts had long been like a torrent. But in order to achieve the ultimate cause, everyone had to suffer in silence.
In 1933, Li Jishen and the generals of the Nineteenth Route Army established an anti-Japanese and anti-Chiang Kai-shek people's revolutionary government in Fujian, announcing cooperation with the Red Army. Walker and every patriot in the small building were excited, and this would be a perfect opportunity to stop the civil war and resist japan together.
Hua Kezhi immediately set out to get in touch with the Fujian People's Revolutionary Government, but Li Jishen's enthusiasm for resisting Japan and opposing Chiang Kai-shek, without the support of military power behind him, was soon passive, and finally under the offensive of Chiang Kai-shek's forces, he was finally overwhelmed for 3 months and was subverted.
Li Jishen
This incident completely destroyed Walker's desire to take moderate measures against Chiang Kai-shek, and the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek could not be delayed. During this period, the Chinese Communist Party issued several invitations to Walker, but Herk refused. Because the Chinese Communist Party refused any assassination, Walkerzhi once made a bold statement, bluntly saying that the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek was not related to any organization, but only to realize his ideal of saving the country.
Therefore, the patriots in the small building spontaneously raised funds and planned the "Nanjing Chenguang News Agency" to hide their eyes and ears, and Hua Kezhi served as the president. After the establishment of the Chenguang News Agency, the assassination team approached Chiang Kai-shek many times, but all ended in failure due to his tight guard.
Finally, in 1935, during the Fourth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee in Nanjing, Sun Fengming, after several twists and turns, obtained a special permit for interviews and entered the venue, ready to shoot Chiang Kai-shek to death at any time. However, at the crucial stage of the assassination, when the Kuomintang Central Committee took a group photo in front of the entrance hall, Chiang Kai-shek did not appear. The opportunity was fleeting, and Sun Fengming had no choice but to fire three shots at Wang Jingwei in the front row, and Sun Fengming was also killed in this assassination mission.
Sun Fengming
Wang Jingwei has always had a festival with Chiang Kai-shek, and this time Wang Jingwei was assassinated, and Chiang Kai-shek became the biggest suspect. In order to clear the suspicion, Jiang Fang sent Dai Kasa to thoroughly investigate the matter. Jiang Fang's agents followed Sun Fengming's "Chenguang News Agency press card" to find the stronghold established by Walker's organization, and although Walker had already destroyed all the evidence, he fled this dangerous place.
However, the entire team confessed to the agents by a public servant of the Chenguang Society, so He Poguang, Zhang Yuhua, Sun Fengming's wife, who participated in the entire assassination, as well as people who had contacts with the Chenguang Society, and even relatives and friends who had no connection with the Chenguang Society, were arrested. After torturing Sun Fengming's wife to no avail, the agents brutally killed her. Wang Yaqiao, as the "mastermind", was also ruthlessly killed by the spies, and even Chen Baozi, a communist party member who had nothing to do with the whole activity, was also killed and thrown into the pool of water.
Wang Yaqiao is known as "Contemporary Jingke"
The brutality and all-out means of Jiang Fang's agents, such a bloody suppression, brought a huge blow to Hua Kezhi's soul. Even though he cleverly escaped from Dai Kasa's pursuit many times, he could not bear to continue to live secretly. Therefore, in 1936, he wrote a "Letter to Compatriots in the Whole Country to Commemorate the First Anniversary of the Death of the Martyrs of nanjing Chenguang News Agency" in Hong Kong, announced all the assassination plans, and bluntly stated that the target of the assassination was Chiang Kai-shek.
He severely condemned Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of his revolutionary intentions and his murder of patriots. After experiencing the tragedy of the Morning Light Society, Walker fully realized that only the proletarian revolution led by the Communist Party of China could make China truly independent and self-reliant. Disheartened, Walkerzhi came to the revolutionary stronghold of Yan'an, where he was cordially received by Chairman Mao.
Wang Jingwei
Chairman Mao admired the lone hero, and in order to protect Walker's special identity, Chairman Mao did not publicly agree to join the Communist Party. Then, soon after, under the inspiration of the party, Hua Kezhi became the right-hand man of Pan Hannian's intelligence system due to various coincidences, and began to fight on the hidden revolutionary front of the Communist Party under the pseudonym Zhang Jianliang.
For more than a decade, Walkerzhi partnered with Dong Hui, a Hong Kong banker, in the intelligence liaison mission between Shanghai and Hong Kong, and repeatedly received Dong Hui's protection to complete revolutionary tasks. At the end of 1939, Walker joined the Communist Party of China with honor because of his outstanding contributions and Pan Hannian's introduction.
From 1941 to 1942, the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression led by the Communist Party of China behind enemy lines, in order to prevent the Kuomintang diehards from sabotaging the anti-Japanese conspiracy and the secret collusion between Japan, Chiang Kai-shek, and Wang, it was necessary to obtain secret intelligence between them, and then someone was needed to infiltrate the enemy army to steal intelligence.
Walker's life-and-death friend Ren'an was met during his anti-Chiang kai-shek activities. Hua Kezhi explained to Ren'an his lofty ideal of resisting Japan and saving the country, hoping to get Ren'an's support. After hearing this, Ren'an was duty-bound, even if he carried the name of "traitor", he did not hesitate to think that it was for the future of the country.
Therefore, Ren'an painstakingly approached Dai Kasa and revealed that he had been forced to oppose Chiang, and Dai Kasa accepted Ren'an, and ren'an often interacted with the Kuomintang from then on. During his mission, Ren'an became acquainted with Zhou Fohai, a fellow spy, who had been lurking in the Kuomintang for some time and had a lot of useful information at his disposal.
Ren'an was overjoyed and rushed to facilitate The meeting between Hua Kezhi and Zhou Fohai. This exchange enabled the CPC to grasp first-hand information on chiang kai-shek's and Wang Jingwei's collusion with Japan, and the CPC central committee quickly exposed the news in the newspapers, making Chiang Kai-shek's wishful thinking clear to the world. Lost the political initiative.
In 1945, Japan surrendered. Through ingenious means, Walkerzhi disguised himself as a Kuomintang official and collected a large amount of ammunition from the Japanese army to replenish the New Fourth Army. In 1948, Walker infiltrated Shanghai to inquire about it and obtained a batch of military maps drawn by the Japanese for the Chinese Communist Party. Walker's President silently dedicates himself in the half-light and half-dark place, and uses his ingenuity to contribute to the Chinese Communist Party. Even after the liberation of the whole country, Walker did not give up his work on the hidden front.
In order to achieve the revolutionary ideals, Walker had to wander between the Kuomintang and the Communists in multiple capacities, which made his political position questionable after the victory of the revolution. He and his superior, Pan Hannian, were arrested and imprisoned, and his censorship lasted for a long decade. He was later sentenced to 11 years in prison for "internal adultery". His wife was also censored and released in 1963 to be a librarian in Xuzhou. In his later years, Walker and his wife relied on the position of librarian, with only a meager salary of 50 yuan to survive.
Walker in old age
Fortunately, the sky has eyes, after a long period of baptism, after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, Walker's reputation has been rehabilitated. The Central Committee recognized his revolutionary work of repeatedly sacrificing his life and death behind enemy lines and contributed his life to the great cause of the Communist Party of China. Since then, Walker has also written some articles about his years of ups and downs for posterity to understand the situation at that time.
In 1998, Walker died at the age of 96, ending this legendary life.
In the history of the revolution, there are countless people like Walker who have given up the good life that could have been easily owned, devoted themselves to the patriotic cause, and even sacrificed their reputations to seek the happiness of the motherland. Such revolutionary ancestors deserve our highest respect. Whenever we lament the good life we have now, we should not forget the blood and tears they have shed on this land.
