Wandering in prison, but determined. Qincheng Prison, outside the cold iron window, Qu Wu still firmly believes in the truth, and with unyielding perseverance, he has spent a long six years. He is the Qu Wu who was born in Weinan, Shaanxi Province in 1898.
When he was young, the fire on the land of China burned, young students rose up against imperial feudalism, and the May Fourth Patriotic Movement in 1919 put the fate of the country in the hands of the younger generation. In Beijing, this wave inspired Qu Wu of Chengde Middle School, who actively united with Xi'an universities to establish the Xi'an Student Affairs Association and organize patriotic student demonstrations.
Qu Wu's patriotism led him to Beijing, and when he arrived at the presidential palace to talk with President Xu Shichang, he excitedly stated three demands. However, the president was noncommittal and perfunctory, which made Qu Wu angry. He even hit his head on the ground in anger, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Xu Shichang didn't care, leaving behind an official to deal with the student representatives.
However, the power of this petition cannot be underestimated. The Beiyang government held an emergency meeting overnight and granted the students' request to meet the president. This action achieved a great victory in the May Fourth Patriotic Movement, and also made Qu Wu's righteous deeds a good story.
Qu Wu's patriotism did not stop there, and he actively participated in the National Student Congress to meet the great man Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen's encouragement inspired him and made him more determined to embark on the path of serving the people.
However, the problem of unpaid wages of Shaanxi faculty and staff caused Qu Wu deep pain. He organized students to petition the government, but the governor at the time, Liu Zhenhua, responded by besieging Chengde Middle School and beating and imprisoning Qu Wu and a group of patriotic students. Fortunately, with the help of Hu Jingyi, the leader of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army, Qu Wucai escaped the danger and came to the command of Yu Youren, the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army.
In Shaanxi, Qu Wu married Yu Youren's daughter Yu Xiuzhi and was admitted to the preparatory liberal arts department of Peking University. Here, he embraced more progressive ideas, joined the Communist Party of China, and contributed his strength to the revolutionary cause.
In 1926, Qu Wu went to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, a period full of hardships. After graduation, he continued his studies and attended the Frunze Military Academy. There, he made many like-minded comrades-in-arms, including Liu Bocheng and Zuo Quan. They all yearn to return home and join the battle of Jinggangshan.
However, Qu Wu's fate changed in an accident. In 1930, he planned to return to China with Liu Bocheng, but was arrested by the authorities and sent to a hard labor camp near the North Pole. Eight years of hard labor, eight years of cold, eight years of hardship, he endured tenaciously. At first, he worked like everyone else, but under harsh conditions, his health deteriorated.
Later, the management discovered his cultural background and put him in charge of the writing. This changed his fortune, allowing him to gain some extra warmth and comfort. Eight years later, Qu Wu finally gained his freedom, and he was eager to return to China and make his own contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In 1938, Qu Wu returned to the capital Chongqing, where he continued to work for the party's cause. However, he had to conceal his true identity and appear in the Kuomintang with a new identity, which was his sacrifice, but also his efforts for the cause of the people's revolution.
Under the leadership of Zhou Enlai, Qu Wu actively participated in underground work, safeguarded the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and worked hard to realize the cause of China's reunification. This also aroused suspicion within the Kuomintang, and sent him to Shaanxi as the head of the construction department, but he still hoped to stay in Chongqing and contribute to the revolutionary cause.
However, in the spring of 1944, Qu Wu was sent to Xinjiang to solve the Xinjiang problem. This is an important task, but it also means that he left Chongqing and left the battlefield where he was needed more. However, he did not forget his original intention and actively promoted the rescue of imprisoned Communist Party members
In Xinjiang, Qu Wu's mission was not only to solve the Xinjiang problem, but also to have a special mission: to free imprisoned Communist Party members. When Sheng Shicai was the head of the Xinjiang provincial government, he imprisoned more than 100 Communist Party members who were never released.
Zhou Enlai told Qu Wu in advance that this task was very important and that every second must be raced, lest the release of Communists become empty talk after the outbreak of war. Qu Wu obeyed Zhou Enlai's instructions and immediately set to action.
First of all, he went to the police station and retrieved the archives, recording the tenacious revolutionary spirit of these communists, which was very moving. He then went to the prison himself and met the Communists who were being held there. Their physical condition and living conditions are worrying.
Qu Wu did not stand idly by, and he made six demands to the prison, demanding that the living conditions of prisoners be improved. The prison warden understood Qu Wu's background and knew that Zhang Zhizhong supported him, so he agreed to these requests. Soon, the face of the prison changed dramatically, and the treatment of prisoners improved.
Soon after, Qu Wu went to the prison again and found that the conditions in the prison had greatly improved, and most importantly, he met the communists who were detained there. This magnificent victory is the result of his unremitting efforts and a testament to Zhou Enlai's concern and guidance.
However, Qu Wu's mission is not yet complete, and he must continue to press the Xinjiang government to release the communists. He repeatedly urged Zhang Zhizhong, but Zhang Zhizhong entrusted this task to Qu Wu. Qu Wu did not dare to slacken and urgently wrote several telegrams to Chiang Kai-shek, who finally agreed to release the communists.
These 126 comrades finally arrived safely in Yan'an, and Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other central leaders visited them personally many times. Soon after, these communists who had gone through purgatory once again plunged into the revolutionary battlefield and continued to fight heroically for the cause of the party and the people.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these rescued comrades played an important role. Many of them held important positions, including Ma Mingfang, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Zhihua, Fang Zhichun, Gao Dengbang, Ji He, Qin Hualong, etc. They became the founders of New China and contributed to the construction and development of the country.
However, Qu Wu's mission did not end. After the victory of the Kuomintang and Communist Civil War, he served as a member of the Kuomintang Xinjiang Provincial Government and mayor of Dihua City, continuing his secret mission of instigating a peaceful uprising. Throughout his life, he has been shouting for the great cause of the reunification of the motherland and making unremitting efforts.
The deep friendship between Qu Wu and Chiang Ching-kuo is also a highlight in this history. Their fraternal affection began when Chiang Ching-kuo was young, when Chiang Kai-shek personally wrote to Yu Youren asking to take care of Chiang Ching-kuo. In order to take care of this young man, Yu Youren made his son-in-law Qu Wu and Jiang Jingguo worship as brothers. Chiang Ching-kuo respected Qu Wu and called him "Big Brother of Scripture", despite the great difference in age.
Qu Wu's support and encouragement enabled Chiang Ching-kuo to persevere in the Siberian cold, and a blanket became a symbol of friendship and warmth. This story remained deeply in Chiang Ching-kuo's heart and became a good memory in his life.
However, Qu Wu's last interaction with Chiang Ching-kuo came at a difficult time. In the 70s of last century, Qu Wu was shocked and imprisoned in Qincheng Prison for 6 years, until 1974, when he was released under the care of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. After Chiang Kai-shek's death, Chiang Ching-kuo monopolized military and political power, and his physical condition gradually deteriorated. Qu Wu was very worried about Chiang Ching-kuo's health and was eager for him to take decisive action to open up a new situation for peaceful reunification between Taiwan and the mainland.
Qu Wu wrote to Chiang Ching-kuo several times to express his concerns and expectations. Despite not receiving a positive response, Chiang Ching-kuo did not forget the brotherhood between them. In order to replace Chiang Ching-kuo's grave sweeping, Qu Wu went to his mother's grave, an action that deeply moved Chiang Ching-kuo and showed their relationship
