introduction
On October 18, 1955, a 32-year-old woman died in the ward of Beijing Tongren Hospital, raising her three children alone, and her husband had long disappeared. On November 9, 2008, in the Columbarium of Liuzhangli Cemetery in Taiwan, the children of the Liu family found a yellow porcelain urn with the note "Liu Guangdian" on it, and her husband finally returned. But their families have been shattered by the dream of reunification in New China, a price that ordinary families pay for their country.
Liu Guangdian, once a red agent on the island of Taiwan, is known as one of the "Three Masters". However, behind his heroic deeds lie many untold stories.
Chapter 1: From Poor Countryside to Anti-Logger
Liu Guangdian was born in 1922 to a poor rural family. Although his family was not wealthy, he had a talent for intelligence and hard work. At the age of 15, his father died, forcing him to drop out of school and become a pharmacy apprentice. Despite the hardships of life, he insisted on self-study pharmacology and eventually entered Peking Furen University for further study. He is not only proficient in many Chinese, but also masters the skills of pharmaceutical management.
However, despite his opportunity to live comfortably, his thinking and values make him angry at the darkness of the old society. He decided to leave the pharmacy and join the underground party to protect the anti-log fighters and the common people. This decision changed his life.
Chapter 2: From Northeast Resistance to Secret Infiltration into Taiwan
Liu Guangdian became a member of the underground party organization and played an important role in the anti-Japanese struggle. However, when the new China was founded, he did not choose to live a stable life, but decided to continue to fight on a more dangerous battlefield.
His wife, Wang Sulian, was already raising three children alone, but false news that Liu Guangdian had defected forced the family to face great difficulties. Despite this, Liu Guangdian resolutely decided to secretly sneak into Taiwan on a mission, leaving his wife and children.
In Taiwan, he took on dangerous intelligence work, taking several adventures to complete missions. Although his wife knew that his life was in danger, she firmly supported him so that he could devote himself fully to the cause of his country.
Chapter 3: From Absconding to Arrest
On January 6, 1950, Liu Guangdian came to Taiwan again, but the situation had become very dangerous. The revitalization of the Kuomintang secret services has put the members of our party's underground party organization in great danger.
Despite his many dangerous encounters, Liu Guangdian always thought calmly and decided to evacuate Taipei as soon as possible and prepare for a long period of lurking. His unwavering determination allowed him to survive, but it also led him to a lonely life on the run.
Deep in the mountains of southern Taiwan, he lived with another fellow revolutionary, suffering extreme hardship and danger. Although his repeated departures from Taiwan ended in failure, Liu Guangdian still held fast to his faith and was determined to persevere.
Chapter 4: From Misunderstanding to Truth
After Liu Guangdian was arrested, the Kuomintang secret services launched a counter-plot in an attempt to turn him into a traitor. They found a man who looked like Liu Guangdian and asked him to spread anti-communist rhetoric in front of the mainland office in Hong Kong. This plan eventually led to Liu Guangdian being recognized as a traitor.
This framing not only changed Liu Guangdian's fate, but also affected his family. His wife and children were forced to move to a small room and live in poverty.
Liu Guangdian showed a strong will in prison and was determined to protect the secrets of the party organization. His persistence eventually made the Kuomintang authorities lose patience and sentenced him to death in 1959.
Chapter 5: From the Truth to the Commemoration and Return
In 1987, Taiwan lifted martial law for 38 years, and cross-strait contacts increased. Liu Guangdian's case was also made public, and Zhang Jialin, a Kuomintang soldier who had been in contact with him, recalled: "He was tall and heroic, like a wild man. We get along well, we talk a lot, right here
I casually asked him why he came to Taiwan, and he only said three words, 'I am ordered'! These three concise and firm words deeply infected Zhang Jialin and made him completely change his view of Liu Guangdian. His loyalty and perseverance have become a model in the hearts of many.
However, Liu Guangdian's story is not just a heroic legend, it also carries the tenacity and selfless dedication of an ordinary family. Although his life was full of dangers and difficulties, his wife Wang Sulian always supported him, and despite her rheumatic heart disease, she still supported her husband without hesitation and quietly contributed to the cause of the country.
Liu Guangdian's story also makes people reflect on the misunderstandings and twists of history. The grievances were resolved in 1988, and Mr. Liu's name was included in the Compilation of Confidential Documents of the Security Bureau, published in Taiwan. He was officially recognized as a patriotic hero and no longer carried the stigma of a mutiny.
However, this story also reminds us that history must not be forgotten, and we should cherish and remember those who quietly gave their lives to our country and our people. Liu Guangdian and his wife Wang Sulian represent the perseverance and dedication of thousands of ordinary people, and their stories inspire us and make us cherish and safeguard the unity and peace of our country even more.
Against the backdrop of rising cross-strait tensions, Liu Guangdian's story also calls on us to resolve differences in a peaceful manner and realize national reunification. His steadfastness and sacrifice spirit will forever be engraved in the chapter of history and inspire us to work together to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
On the Memorial Square of the Unknown Heroes of Xishan in Beijing, the names of martyrs such as Liu Guangdian are inscribed on stone tablets, and their deeds are passed down from generation to generation. Liu Guangdian's story is not only a heroic legend, but also a precious historical legacy, a brilliant pearl on the road to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. May we always remember and remember this unsung hero who made a heroic sacrifice for the country and the people, and may the day of peaceful reunification come at an early date, so that their sacrifices will no longer be needed.
