On November 11, 1965, an Ilyushin 28 bomber took off from Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, however, it did not go as planned, the call from the ground tower was not answered, and the plane disappeared. Dozens of minutes later, the plane landed abruptly at Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport, but the landing was not smooth, the plane deviated from the runway, the nose rubbed against the ground, and sparks splashed.
The three crew members on board endured the test of this thrilling event. The pilot Li Xianbin was luckily safe, the navigator Li Caiwang was injured, and Lian Baosheng, the communicator and shooter of the tail, was seriously injured and unfortunately died. The Taiwan authorities trumpeted the incident, which was called "surrendering to sincerity," and the three became "anti-communist righteous," and Chiang Ching-kuo personally presented Lian Baosheng with a banner about eight feet long with four big characters written on it: "Shang Yi Chengren." Li Xianbin and Li Caiwang also received high honors, were received by Chiang Kai-shek, promoted to the rank of major in the Air Force, and received a gold award.
However, after the news of Lian Baosheng's "surrender" and death returned to the mainland, his family could not believe it. At that time, Lian Baosheng's family was a glorious military family, and the three brothers belonged to the navy, land and air forces. Lian Baosheng excelled in the army, and had just married, and his family was confident that he would not defect. Subsequent investigations also showed that Lian Baosheng and Li Caiwang showed no signs of defection, but Lee Hsienbin was suspected of multiple signs of defection.
Although Lee claimed that Lee and Lian Baosheng were unaware of his plans, they gladly accepted them after the route deviated. However, there are still many people within the army who firmly believe that Lian Baosheng will not defect, and some even put forward explanations about the structure of the aircraft in an attempt to prove Lian Baosheng's innocence.
Lian Baosheng's "defection" hit his mother Li Lianru the hardest, and the mother looked forward to the eldest son Lian Baozhong being able to rehabilitate his younger brother. However, a series of complaint letters failed to obtain clear evidence, as if the stone was lost in the ocean. It wasn't until 1983, when Mr. Li returned to the mainland to visit his family, that he issued a statement at the Shanghai airport, claiming that he and Mr. Lian had been deceived by Mr. Li and could not stop the incident.
In 1988, Li Xianbin protested to the Taiwan authorities that the reward was unfair, claiming that he was the only one who was sincerely "sincere" and that Lian Baosheng committed suicide after learning that he had arrived in Taiwan, and that Li Caiwang was also captured by him. This remark openly challenged the Taiwanese military and was immediately punished.
However, the reason why Lee Hsien Bin dared to make this amazing move was because he was not treated as expected after he surrendered. He could no longer be promoted and was monitored. The Lian family has been paying close attention to the progress of the incident, and as the "eldest" of the two generations of the Lian family, Lian Baozhong and his eldest son have been working hard to rehabilitate Lian Bao's life. In 1988, they found the secretary of Wan Li, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, through their connections, and handed over the letter of appeal to Wan Li.
After repeated investigations, in 1990, Lian Baosheng's "defection" characterization was revoked, and he was recognized as a soldier who died in the line of duty, enjoying treatment comparable to that of revolutionary martyrs. However, the Lian family was not satisfied with this result and they continued to appeal. In December 1991, Li Caiwang returned to the mainland to visit his relatives and issued a statement at the Shanghai airport, claiming that he and Lian Baosheng had been deceived by Li Xianbin and could not stop the incident.
In 1993, Lian Baosheng was posthumously recognized as a "revolutionary martyr", but the matter is not over. In 1998, Li Xianbin protested to the Taiwan authorities that the unfair reward that year, claiming that he was the only one who was sincerely "sincere" and that Lian Baosheng committed suicide after learning that he arrived in Taiwan, and that Li Caiwang was also captured by him. This remark openly challenged the Taiwanese military and was immediately punished.
The Lian family has been paying attention to the development of the incident, especially Lian Baosheng's mother Li Lianru, whose last wish is to see Lian Baosheng return to her hometown. The Lian family continued to search for Lian Baosheng's traces, and eventually, with the help of Taiwanese friends, they found Lian Baosheng's grave. In 2016, despite Typhoon Catfish, Lian's family traveled to Taiwan to exhume Lian's remains. On September 30 of the same year, also Martyrs' Memorial Day, Lian Baosheng returned to his hometown of Ninghe, Tianjin, and his remains were placed in the Ninghe Martyrs' Cemetery. After half a century of twists and turns, Lian Baosheng finally returned to his hometown and returned to his roots.
