On the night of August 16, 1940, Japanese devils brutally peeled off Chen Kangrong's entire skin, and then buried her alive on a mountain mound in Fushi City, when she was only 25 years old.
Chen Kangrong's ancestral home is from Qiling, Yongding County, Fujian, and his father Chen Ximei studied in Japan in his early years, and during his studies, he met Sun Yat-sen and other early revolutionaries, and joined the League Association led by Sun Yat-sen.
He followed Sun Yat-sen to overthrow the feudal dynasty, but the road to revolution was always full of hardship and blood.
After the defeat of the Xinhai Revolution, Chen Ximei moved his family to Burma to take refuge, where he made a living by opening a photo studio in Mandalay, Myanmar, and his daughter Chen Kangrong was born in Myanmar in 1915.
He is quite business-minded and doing very well, and Chen Kangrong spent his carefree childhood and adolescence here.
Although Chen Ximei lives abroad, he has always been concerned about the motherland, and the mission of saving the nation from fire and water is deeply rooted in his heart. As soon as he had time, he would tell his children about the history and culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and from an early age he instilled the patriotic feeling of loving the motherland and not forgetting that he was the descendant of the Chinese people.
In 1930, 15-year-old Chen Kangrong returned to her hometown in Yongding, Fujian Province with her father, and by this time she had become a beautiful girl.
When she saw the devastated country and the poor people who were in dire straits, her heart was full of mixed feelings. She was secretly determined to do something for her motherland.
Later, she was admitted to Jimei School in Xiamen, and after graduating from middle school, she was admitted to Xiamen University with excellent grades.
Here she embraced patriotic ideas and secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party. She often marched with her classmates against warlord wars, against Japanese imperialist aggression, and campaigned for women's liberation.
After graduating from Xiamen University in 1934, Chen returned to Burma and took a job as a teacher at the Overseas Chinese Girls' High School in Yangon, Myanmar.
It is a school organized by patriotic overseas Chinese living abroad, and the principal is open-minded. Here, in addition to teaching cultural knowledge, Chen Kangrong propagated the anti-Japanese struggle and national salvation every day.
At the same time, Tran also served as the leader of the progressive women's movement and youth movement in Yangon, propagating progressive ideas such as the October Revolution.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, the Japanese invaders launched a war of aggression against China, which destroyed lives and displaced people for a while.
Seeing the broken motherland, Chen Kangrong resolutely returned to Xiamen, and as an underground party member and anti-Japanese activist, she often took to the streets, handed out leaflets, taught citizens to sing anti-Japanese songs, and published articles in newspapers denouncing the heinous crimes of Japanese imperialism.
She also founded the "Xiamen Poetry Society" to use the pen in her hand as a weapon to denounce Japan's crime of aggression and call on aspiring young people and women to actively participate in the revolution.
In November of the same year, Chen Kangrong was appointed by the party organization to participate in the first training course for anti-Japanese rescue cadres of the Fujian, Guangdong and Gan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, where he met Huang Huizhai, who had just returned from studying in the Soviet Union.
At this time, her father, Chen Ximei, was worried about her daughter's safety and wrote to her many times urging her to return to Myanmar quickly. However, Chen Kangrong refused his father's request on the grounds that "the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment, how can I wait to steal my life".
In the winter of 1938, Chen Kangrong and Huang Huizhai held a simple wedding in Xiamen, and after the marriage, the two were sent by the party organization to the western Fujian region to participate in the training class of the CPC's Southwestern Fujian Special Committee.
After graduating from the training course, she was sent to work underground in the countryside of her hometown of Yongding Qiling. Here, under the pseudonym Chen Rong, she continued to engage in anti-Japanese and national salvation work under the cover of being a teacher.
In the classroom, she taught the children the patriotic idea that "the country is ruined and the husband is responsible". Outside the classroom, he publicized the anti-Japanese salvation in the surrounding villages, mobilized the surrounding masses to reserve materials for the frontline soldiers, and undertook our party's underground intelligence work.
On March 30, 1940, the puppet regime supported by Japan, Wang Jingwei, was established in Nanjing, and began to hunt down and kill revolutionaries.
In May of the same year, her husband Huang Huizhai was transferred to the head of the Organization Department of the Zhangzhou County Party Committee, while Chen Kangrong continued to stay in Qiling to continue working underground as a teacher.
On the evening of July 16, 1940, Chen Kangrong received news of a defection and prepared to flee Qiling overnight. Who knew that the security team suddenly surrounded her residence, and she knew that she could not get out, so she tore up the secret documents and swallowed them, and then hugged her daughter, who was only 5 months old, and reluctantly handed the child to her mother-in-law. Then she turned and walked out of the courtyard, captured by the enemy waiting outside the door.
In prison, the enemy asked her college classmate Zhang Yaoxuan to persuade him to surrender, and he had pursued Chen Kangrong in school, but she felt that they were not the same people and flatly rejected Zhang Yaoxuan's pursuit.
Zhang Yaoxuan promised to give her a large sum of money as long as she was willing to surrender and immediately let her go home.
Chen Kangrong was always indifferent, just looked coldly at the former talent in front of her, but now she had become a traitor's classmate, her eyes were full of contempt and pity.
She said, "Don't bother, I won't say anything." ”
Seeing that she was not soft, the enemy stripped her of her clothes to insult, hung her on a beam and beat her with a leather whip, for three days and three nights, exhausted all kinds of torture, and beat her body to death, but she always regarded her as if she were dead.
The helpless enemy also brought her young child with him, trying to take the child's life as a threat to extract useful information from her mouth, but the enemy's scheme once failed.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, and the enemy looked at the tortured and dying Chen Kangrong, handed her a piece of paper and said, "Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a Chinese saying, the moon of fifteen is sixteen round, as long as you write a confession on it, tonight you can go home and reunite with your family." ”
Chen Kangrong took the pen and wrote a poem on the "Self-Surrender Book" with great righteousness, "Youth is extremely expensive, why mention reunion." For the sake of justice, why be afraid to peel off the skin"
Tan Rixin, the head of the Japanese puppet army security regiment, who was embarrassed and angry, immediately led his men to escort her to a small hill in Fushi City, brutally peeled off her skin with a bayonet, and looked at Chen Kangrong, who only had a breath, and the frenzied enemy buried her alive, and her life was fixed at the age of 25.
Not only did Chen Kangrong die heroically, but her half-year-old daughter also died in infancy, and her mother-in-law died soon after losing her daughter-in-law and granddaughter because of excessive grief.
After learning the news, her husband Huang Huizhai was devastated, and in just a few days, he lost his beloved wife, lovely daughter and elderly mother one after another. In honor of his beloved wife, Huang Huizhai changed his name to Huang Kang, and he turned his grief and anger into motivation, braved a hail of bullets and bullets to continue to fight on the front line of the War of Resistance until he drove the Japanese devils out of China and until the founding of New China.
In order to commemorate Chen Kangrong, in November 1944, the Fujian-Guangdong Border Committee of the Communist Party of China established the "Kangrong Detachment" in her hometown of Yongding Qiling. In the western Fujian area, he fought guerrilla warfare with Japanese devils, and repeatedly engaged Japanese troops, and successfully annihilated the Japanese puppet army squadron that killed Chen Kangrong in a sneak attack.
Chen Kangrong could have stayed away from the flames of war and lived a stable life, but as a son and daughter of China, he could not bear to see his national dignity trampled on.
As she said in her speech, "The country is in trouble, and there are rules, I and other descendants of China can not steal their lives, people will eventually die, we should die where we want, for the sake of not being slaves to the country, for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, although we die without regrets!" ”
During the War of Resistance, it was with countless Chen Kangrong that the Chinese nation won the final victory.
The descendants of Yanhuang will not forget the unscrupulous war decades ago, the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese aggressors in China, and the heroes who shed their blood for the country.
Let us remember history, remember the martyrs, and do our part for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
