At this time, I saw a news item on the Internet, the source of which was South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, saying that the South Korean Ministry of Defense had recently been engaged in some small movements - they wanted to tear down the bust of the anti-Japanese general Hong Beom Tu, which is currently located in the South Korean Army Officer School, and move it to the so-called "Independence Memorial Hall".
1. "I, Bai Shanye, am back!" ”
According to the South Korean Ministry of National Defense in a press release, the main reason why they wanted Hong Beom Tu's statue to be torn down and removed was because Hong Beom Tu was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1927. The ROK Ministry of National Defense believes that the ROK Army Officer Academy aims to "cultivate defenders of the country who defend democracy and freedom in the Republic of Korea", and Hong Beom-tu's experience during his lifetime is "incompatible" with it, so it is more suitable to move to the Korean Independence Movement Memorial Hall.
In addition, the South Korean Defense Ministry said that Hong Beom-tu's experience of joining the CPSU was controversial in South Korea, so it was not appropriate to place his bust in the central entrance of Chungmukan, a symbol of South Korean officer education, because such a move was questioned by some in South Korea as inappropriate.
According to the Global Times, as early as 1910, Hong Fantu was the first to lead troops to launch an anti-Japanese struggle on the Sino-Korean border. When the time came to the late 30s of the last century, under the cruel suppression of Japanese imperialism, the Korean Independence Army movement failed, and Hong Van Tu and other anti-Japanese soldiers were forced to transfer to the Soviet Union and continue to engage in the anti-Japanese cause. In 1943, Hong Fantu died in the Soviet Union.
After 75 years, when the time came to March 2018, that is, the 99th Liberation Day in South Korea, under the instructions of then South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Hong Beom-tu and other busts of Korean revolutionary martyrs were officially unveiled at the South Korean Army Officer School. In addition to Hong Fantu, there are four anti-log fighters Jin Zuozhen, Chi Qingtian, Li Fanxiang and Li Huirong.
On August 15, 2021, South Korea airlifted Hong Beom-tu's remains from Kazakhstan, and the South Korean government greeted him with the highest courtesy, Moon Jae-in personally went to the airport to wait, and then presented Hong Beom-tu with the founding medal representing South Korea's highest honor, the "Medal of the Republic of Korea", at the Blue House presidential palace.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Hong Beom Tu, the statues of four other anti-log officers who were erected at the ROK Army Officer Academy five years ago are also planned to be demolished and removed by the South Korean Ministry of National Defense this time. Although they never swore an oath to the red flag during their lifetimes, although they did not wield a sickle hammer, and although Kim Jo-jin and Lee Hui-young, two even believers in anarchism, they could not escape the hands of Yoon Seok-yue's government.
When the old ones go, there will naturally be new ones. So who will replace the old statue of Hong Beom-tu and the other five anti-log soldiers standing in front of the central entrance of the Chungmukan of the ROK Army Academy, symbolizing the purpose of the ROK Army Academy to "cultivate defenders of the country who defend democracy and freedom of the Republic of Korea"?
The answer is Baek Sun-yeop.
Second, the hook has always been elegant, and the father-in-law has been famous since ancient times
Bai Shanye, male, born in 1920, graduated from the so-called "Puppet Manchu Army Officer School" established by the Japanese invaders in Shenyang in 1941, and is the ninth graduate of the school. After graduation, Bai Shanye joined the 28th Infantry Regiment of the Puppet Manchu Army supported by the Japanese invaders, with the rank of second lieutenant. Later, he transferred to Jiamusi's recruit training unit as a platoon leader, encircling and suppressing the Red Anti-Japanese armed guerrilla group composed of Chinese and Korean people in the upper reaches of the Yalu and Tumen rivers in the Changbai Mountains. Because of his "hard work", he was later promoted by the Japanese to a lieutenant in the puppet Manchu Army.
From February 1943, Baek Sun-yeop, who served in the puppet Manchu army, was appreciated by the Japanese invaders and transferred to the infamous "Majima Special Team", an elite force supported by the Japanese invaders and puppet Manchus, composed entirely of Koreans, comparable to the Yamamoto special agent team active in the three eastern provinces at that time. In the spring of 1944, Bai Shanye participated in the sweep of the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Eighth Route Army in Rehe Province, and his hands were stained with the blood debts of the Chinese military and civilians.
On August 15, 1945, at the end of World War II, Baek Sun-yeop and his wife Roh In-sook first fled back to Pyongyang to become teachers, then fled Pyongyang in December of the same year, crossing the 38th parallel and fleeing south to Seoul.
After fleeing to Seoul, Baek Sun-yeop first joined the South Korean National Defense Guard, the predecessor of today's South Korean Army, and then studied at the Military English School of the US Military Administration Agency stationed in Korea in February of the following year.
In December 1947, Baek Sun-yeop became chief of staff of the newly formed 3rd Brigade of the ROK Army, and in April 1948 became chief of intelligence at the Korean Ministry of Unification and Guard, the predecessor of the Korean Ministry of National Defense.
While serving as the intelligence director of the South Korean Ministry of Unification, Baek Sun-yeop also participated in the "Yeosu Suncheon Incident" against the left-wing military uprising of the 14th Regiment of the South Korean National Defense Guard. In the so-called anti-army movement, Bai Shanye arrested thousands of people from 14 regiments on the grounds of removing leftist forces in the army. It is worth mentioning that in this incident, Park Chung-hee, who was later mixed with South Korean President Masao Takagi and alias, was once accused of being a "red element" by some right-wing officers. If it were not for Bai Shanye's active mediation, it is estimated that the classic "insect eradication shooting day" would not have happened in Miyai Cave later.
After rescuing Park Chung-hee, Baek Sun-yeop's official fortune was as if he had been opened, and he was prosperous all the way. First in 1950, he became the commander of the ROK 1st Army (the former commander Kim Baek-il died in a plane crash), and then in 1952, he became the commander of the ROK 2nd Army and in July of the same year, he became the chief of staff of the ROK Army. In 1953, Baek Sun-yeop became the first general of the Korean army since its founding, and he was only 32 years old at this time. In 1954, Baek Sun-yeop became commander of the newly formed ROK First Field Army. In 1957, Baek Sun-yeop again served as Chief of Staff of the ROK Army and Chief of the Joint Staff of the ROK Army, and began to lead the ROK Army towards modernization.
In the following 60 years, despite the turbulence and turmoil in South Korea's domestic and foreign affairs, no matter whether the tide of the times is floating or sinking, Baek Sun-yeop, an old loach, has always been able to thrive. After retiring from the military, Bai Shanye turned into a politician again, not only served as an ambassador in France and Canada, but even served as a bullshit "ambassador to China" in Taipei. Because of the outstanding contributions made by Japan-South Korea goodwill, Baek Sun-yeop was also awarded the Japanese National Order of the First Class Rubble Medal in 1995.
On July 10, 2020, Bai Shanye finally died, living at the age of 99. On the 15th of the same month, Baek Sun-yeop was buried in the National Daejeon Hsien-chung Temple in South Korea. It is equivalent to the portrait being hung on the Purple Light Pavilion, and it is also worthy of the Taimiao.
3. "With such an insect as an idol, how can you do a good job in the Korean army!" ”
Most of the above information about Bai Shanye was collected and sorted out by me and my comrades from the Internet. I didn't know much about this person before, only that he was a Korean traitor raised by the Japanese invaders, with blood debts from the Chinese and DPRK people on his hands, and later he was picked up by us during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
But even if my understanding of Bai Shanye is limited, one thing I can be sure of is that whether I am from the perspective of a Chinese or a foreigner, as long as I am a normal person, as long as I have a sound three views, I will not think that such a statue of a character covered in stains would be suitable for standing in such a serious place as a military school, let alone let him deserve the temple.
What is a military school? A place to train military talents to defend the country. What are the standards for a soldier who takes it as his duty to defend his home and country? Love the motherland, love the people, obey commands, be able to win battles, have a good work style, excellent quality, and a firm stand... If you want to set up an idol for such a group of soldiers, then this idol cannot at least be lower than the military cadets he wants to guide in these standards, right?
However, counting the life of Bai Shanye and his entire life, does his behavior and behavior have much to do with the advantages mentioned earlier? I didn't see it anyway. I think the most outstanding thing about him as a soldier is that he ran faster than Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang reactionaries, so fast that he could not even catch up with the bullets of the volunteers. Otherwise, he would not have survived until 2020 and died, but had been used as a human bunker by the US military as early as 1950.
If I were a student of the Korean Army Non-commissioned Officer School, if I was still a little hot in my heart, passing by the bronze statue of Baek Sun-yeop every day, I estimated that I couldn't help but scold in my mouth: "Xiba, how can I do a good army by idolizing such an insect!" ”
In fact, not only me, the Chinese aunt, but also many Korean people feel that Baek Sun-yeop is unworthy, and there are never a few Koreans who think that he is a pro-Japanese and Korean traitor.
As early as 2009, South Korea's Committee for Finding the Truth about Pro-Japanese and Anti-National Acts published a report, and this report described Baek Sun-yeop as follows: From 1941 to Japan's defeat in 1945, officers of the puppet Manchukuo Army, an actual colony of Japanese imperialism, assisted in the war of aggression, especially from 1943 to 1945, officers of the Majima Special Unit, a special unit of Koreans who suppressed the anti-Japanese forces by force, actively assisted Japan in the war of aggression. Even Baek Sun-yeop himself said in his autobiography: "The guerrillas we pursued were mixed with many North Koreans. ”
In the same year, Baek Sun-yeop was included in the list of pro-Japanese "Korean traitors" by the Roh Moo-hyun government. After 10 years, when the time came in March 2019, at the direction of the Moon Jae-in government, South Korea's Ministry of National Defense and the National Newspaper Ministry added the words "pro-Japanese general" to Baek's file, and this glaring description was nailed to the coffin along with Baek's corpse.
It is not difficult to imagine that if it were Lee Jae-myung instead of Yoon Seok-yue who was now ruling South Korea, Baek Sun-yeop and his ilk would never have been able to "correct the chaos", their statues would not have been erected in the South Korean army officer academy, and the names of Hong Van-tu and other anti-log soldiers would not have been so easily erased, let alone occupied by pro-Japanese and Korean traitors.
Unfortunately, however, reality has no ifs. Those who now hold the Korean dynasty are Yoon Seok-yue, nicknamed "Ito Seokyue," who is proud of his beauty and pro-Japanese and claims to be a "descendant of the prince," who not only dares to brazenly justify the historical crimes of the Japanese aggressors, but even dares to openly and persistently wash the ground with Japan's evil deeds of discharging nuclear sewage.
Under the arrogance of such a thing, I don't find it strange that South Korea can toss any moth. Don't look at the name of the big name, Ito. You Hong Fantu is an anti-Japanese element who joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and he Bai Shanye is a pro-Japanese and Korean traitor who graduated from a puppet Manchu military academy, who do you say Ito Taejun will favor? It's not obvious.
Looking back and pondering now, I really pinched a cold sweat for An Chonggen. It is good to risk that An Chonggen's loyal bones were not stolen back by South Korea, otherwise he would not be able to save it today, and he would have to end up with the same fate as Hong Fantu.
I have even thought of the reason for the group of horses and birds under Yin Xiyue: "Although you An Chonggen is not a red element, after all, you have been in China for so long, who knows if you have dyed red?" And you assassinated Ito Hirofumi-kun at Harbin Railway Station in the first place, right? That is the spiritual ancestor of our Ito Saiyue Tae-kun. Just this sin is enough for your kid to drink a pot, it would be good if you didn't give your ashes to lift, and you still want to be buried in the Xianzhong Courtyard like Old Master Bai? There are no doors. ”
Conclusion, a generation has a generation of ghosts and traitors, and a generation has a generation of anti-Japanese missions
According to the Korean left-wing media "Han Minzu Ilbo", as early as 2010, the Lee Myung-bak government tried to promote Baek Sun-yeop as an honorary five-star general in South Korea, but later had to abandon it because of strong opposition from everyone. This shows how difficult it is to whitewash Baek Sun-yeop in South Korea.
But even so, even if Lee Myung-bak's right-hand people can't do something, won't it still be done by our Ito Saitetsu Taijun in the end?
If the Korean side bought the copyright of "Underground Traffic Station" one day and made a copy, I would already be able to make up part of the dialogue of the Korean version of "Underground Traffic Station":
"The spectrum is still quite big, only a few days as a Han traitor?"
"Han traitor, is that what ordinary people can do?"
"Don't look at Ito Kid's ability is not big, his temper is not small. Ordinary Korean traitors you can't serve it at all. ”
"What are you traitor?"
"Ito Tae-kun asked me to bring you a message, as long as you can surrender the imperial army, the golden round ticket will be greatly dropped."
"Nonsense! Who surrenders without benefit? Oh, I see, it was you kid who swallowed the benefits that Taijun promised me! ”
Regarding the South Korean Ministry of National Defense's intention to "bring Hong with white" this time, there is a comment in the "Han Minzu Ilbo" that I agree with: Even if the doctrine and ideas are different, General Hong Van-tu is a South Korean who fought for national independence. If such an important thing can be a child's play, then South Korea will completely fall into Japan's strategy of razing and destroying.
Although ridiculous, in a way, I am quite happy for Hong Fantu's gang of anti-log fighters. Let's go, they are all enthusiastic seven-foot men, why stay in this smoky place, subject to the bird qi of this gang of insects? Hong Fantu spilled his blood in order to liberate the country from Japanese oppression. It is not worth facing a South Korean Army Officer Academy and the South Korean Ministry of National Defense after death who no longer put the protection of South Korea's interests first, but carry guns for the reactionary regime and Japanese oppressors.
The hero's loyalty is too noble, which is a luxury that the South Korean government under the leadership of Yoon Seok-yue does not deserve.
For Chinese, our generation has a generation of black vine rules, a generation of Jia Gui and Golden Label, and a generation of Shi Qingshan.
I think it should be the same for Koreans. They have a generation of Ito Hirofumi, a generation of Lee Myung-bak and Yoon Seok-yue, and a generation of Ahn Jung-geun and Hong Van-tu.
I believe that even today, there should still be people with lofty ideals like Ahn Jung-geun and Hong Beom-tu in the Korean people. The flame in their hearts has not yet been extinguished, they are just waiting for an opportunity.
The enemy of the country hates the family, and the ninth can still repay it? Although it is also a hundred years! Many unrighteous deeds will perish themselves, and their sons will treat them.
