The youngest revolutionary martyr
Fell on the eve of the founding of New China
A day in the cold winter of 1941
Chongqing "White Mansion" Prison
Two special prisoners were escorted
It's a mother and son
Her mother's name is Xu Linxia
The son's name is Song Zhenzhong
The milk name Sensen
He was not yet a year old
"Little Radish Head" left only an 8-month-old photo before his death
People today
More familiar with his other name
"Little Radish Head"
72 years ago today
The life of the "little radish head" is fixed at the age of 8
He is the youngest revolutionary martyr in New China
There is only a difference of 26 days
He could see with his own eyes the founding of New China
He has not yet been "weaned"
Reunited with his father in prison
The father of the "little radish head" is song Qiyun
Same with his mother Xu Linxia
They are all members of the Chinese Communist Party
After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup
Song Qiyun was organized by the party
Sent to work in Yang Hucheng
He is the president and editor-in-chief of Northwest Culture Daily
Revolutionary partners Xu Linxia and Song Qiyun
December 12, 1936
Patriotic generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng
Launching the "Xi'an Incident"
Demanded that Chiang Kai-shek stop the civil war
Unanimously resist japan
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng
After the "Xi'an Incident"
Song Qiyun uses the Northwest Culture Daily
A comprehensive introduction to the causes and circumstances of the incident
Positively evaluate the substance and significance of the incident
Widely publicize the idea of stopping the civil war and unanimously resisting Japan
December 25, 2010
Under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Zhou Enlai
Chiang Kai-shek accepted
The proposal to "stop the civil war and unite with the Communists to resist Japan"
The "Xi'an Incident" was resolved peacefully
This famous "military advice" peaceful settlement
It marked the basic end of a decade-long civil war
It contributed to the formation of the anti-Japanese national united front
But after Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanjing
Blatant retaliation was carried out
General Zhang Xueliang was detained
General Yang Hucheng was forced to go abroad to investigate
Immediately after returning to China, he was imprisoned
In 1941
Song Qiyun just entered the house
He was secretly arrested by the squat agents
After Song Qiyun was arrested
His wife, Xu Linxia, walks more than 30 miles a day
Go to Xi'an City to inquire about the whereabouts of her husband
Watching Xu Linxia run around
The agents repeated the same trick
Let Xu Linxia send a change of clothes
Although knowing that this is likely to be a trap
But Xu Linxia still held it
The "little radish head" that had not yet been weaned went to Xi'an
It's just that this time I never came back
The "sugar" he ate was salty
Where the "little radish head" was imprisoned
It is notorious
Chongqing "Sino-US Cooperation Institute" concentration camp
The cells here are narrow, small, dark and damp
There is no sunshine all year round
Not far from the cell door was a urinal
The stench was breathless
In a cramped cell
The stench attracts flies, mosquitoes, and bed bugs
The people who are locked up here
Every day I smell this smell and eat and fall asleep
In addition to the pungent odor
There are often terrifying sounds outside
Whenever the night is quiet
From there came the screams of the victims
And the inhuman barking of the agents
People imprisoned here
Only one bowl can be distributed per day
A stinky water soup made with moldy rice bran and rotten cabbage helpers
Due to chronic malnutrition
Song Zhenzhong changed his appearance
He has thin arms and thin legs
Small body
But it has a big head
The victims were merciful
He was nicknamed
Once
A guard said to "little turnip head"
"You call me Auntie
I'll give you candy."
The "little radish head" saw the piece of sugar and wanted to eat it very much
He was anxious to know what sugar tasted like
But he slowly lowered his small hand and spoke
"No, you're a spy"
After returning to the cell
He cried and asked his mother
"What is sugar
What a taste"
Mom couldn't answer that question
So he dipped his fingers in a little salt on the windowsill
Put it in his mouth and say
"Boy, this is the taste of sugar"
A "pen" made of branches
Cotton-fired "ink"
Years passed
Looking at the "little radish head", he was almost six years old
It's school age
Father Song Qiyun
Discuss with the victims in the cell
It is necessary to fight for the opportunity to study for the "little turnip head"
The guarded agent said
"This is a secret prison
No one is allowed to come in or out without permission."
They went on a collective hunger strike
In the end, we won over the friends of the victims
Teach "little radish head" the opportunity to read and read
The father of the "little turnip head" picked up a branch
Grind into a pen on the ground
The mother tore off the cotton from her cotton coat
Scorch over a fire and mix with water as ink
The inmates saved out pieces of straw paper
I made a few exercise books for the "little radish head"
By new year in 1948
The "little radish head" has been able to recite and silently write
More than 30 ancient poems
And the poems that the victims wrote in prison
At the time of his sacrifice, he still had a pencil in his hand
In 1949
The War of Liberation was won day by day
Kuomintang reactionary rule
It's been stormy
August 25, 1949
Chiang Kai-shek issued
Secret orders for the execution of "political prisoners" in batches
September 1949
Chiang Kai-shek ordered yang Hucheng's secret execution
On the evening of September 6
General Yang Hucheng and 19-year-old son Yang Zhengzhong
Arrive at the "Reception Room" of Dai Gong Ancestral Hall
When Yang Zhengzhong walked into the back room
The agent hiding behind the door used a dagger
Stabbed him in the waist
Yang Zheng was killed when he was on the throne
General Yang Hucheng was promoted by Yang Jinxing
Cover your mouth with a towel
The executioners rushed up
General Yang Hucheng was brutally killed
Two hours later
"Little radish head" family
Arrive at Dai Gong Ancestral Hall
Xu Linxia just entered the door
A spy hiding behind the door
Immediately raised the dagger
Song Qiyun did not react in time
They were also killed together
Only 8 years old "little radish head"
He was immediately stabbed to death by Yang Jinxing
A few hours later
The agents took the body of General Yang Hucheng
Buried under the flower bed in the Reception Room
And plant flowers and plants
Mr. and Mrs. Song Qiyun were buried under the guardhouse
Then mark the triad
After the liberation of Chongqing
When the remains of the small turnip head were found
His two small hands were raised dead to his chest
Held in the hand
He is a teacher in prison
The little pencil that was given to him
That long night before dawn
They still haven't survived...
A total rout on the frontal battlefield
Let the Kuomintang agents stationed in Chongqing
Plunge into the final madness
October 1, 1949
When the news of the founding of New China
After reaching the Slag Cave and the White Mansion Prison
The revolutionaries were ecstatic
Revolutionaries in prison embroidered a five-star red flag by imagination
Luo Guangbin, who is imprisoned in baigongguan prison
Chen Ran and Ding Diping more than 100 people could not calm the excitement in their hearts
They used a bed of red sheets
And a few paper-cut five-pointed stars made a red flag
After the red flag is ready
Hidden under the floor of the cell
Yet on the eve of victory
Kuomintang agents carried out massacres in prison
Except for Comrade Luo Guangbin, who escaped from danger
All the other comrades died honorably
27 November at 4 p.m
The People's Liberation Army has been liberated
Most of Sichuan
The Kuomintang began massacring the detainees
Enemy revolutionaries in the White Mansion Prison
When a massacre is carried out
Three groups of people were also raised from the Zha Dong Prison
Escorted to the vicinity of the White Mansion and shot
After late at night
It can already be faintly heard
The sound of gunfire in the People's Liberation Army
At this time, there were still 19 people in the White Mansion
There are about 200 people in the cave
Imprisoned revolutionaries
The executioner of the scum cave
Ask the executioner of the White Mansion for help
So, the heartbroken executioner
Concentrate on the slag hole
In the name of "Transfer now, transfer to be done"
All personnel in the men's and women's prisons
Locked in eight cells under the men's cell
Suddenly strafing with machine guns and carbines
After the massacre
He set fire to the cells again
This massacre under The Hill of Gole
It began in September 1949
Ended on November 29, 1949
As many as 300 martyrs were martyred
"If you're alive
It should be 80 years old now! ”
At this year's "June 1st" party
Cellmate of "Little Radish Head"

Also came to the scene
Her narration
Let many children at the scene moved to tears
October 1947
Grandma Li Bitao was taken to prison cell
Little Radish Head was the first cellmate she knew
He said at the time
If I had two wings
How nice it would be to fly out
I was able to go out to school
Sensen, if you're still alive
You should be 80 years old this year."
"I wish you were like the child you are now
There are colored picture books
There are more than a dozen colored brushes
And good sweets
Happy and happy like them."
"More than 70 years later, how good is the motherland now."
These are you, you are you
In exchange for life
We can't forget you
