The world understands Wang Xiaohe from this photo, and the scene of his generous death is engraved in the hearts of everyone who has seen this photo, and this photo has become the most precious memory of Xin Yuying and her daughter.
In the photo, Wang Xiaohe has a fearless face, and the Kuomintang reactionaries around him are even more evil, only 8 months after the sacrifice of Comrade Wang Xiaohe, Shanghai ushered in the liberation, and four months later the founding of New China, the Chinese revolution for which he fought won the final victory, and his efforts were not in vain.
Who exactly is Wang Xiaohe? Why was he sentenced to death by the Nationalist Government? Why did he feel as if he was relieved when he heard that he had been sentenced to death?
1. Martyr Wang Xiaohe and his wife Xin Yuying
In 1948, there were many people standing outside the Kuomintang High Court in Shanghai, a woman with a big belly and her daughter clamoring outside the door to see Wang Xiaohe, who was being imprisoned, and others were very eager to know the final outcome of Wang Xiaohe's trial.
The guards of the court were annoyed by the quarrel between the mother and daughter, and they stretched out their hands to commit murder, but the people waiting for the results on the side did not agree, they dared to beat a pregnant woman and a little girl, and they took action to protect the mother and daughter, and the guards were also afraid of being beaten, so they had to stop stupidly.
Seeing the guard's confession, people let the guard go, gathered around his daughter and asked him why he was making a fuss at the gate of the courthouse, and said that her behavior was dangerous and that she was responsible for her daughter and the child in her womb.
Xin Yuying heard everyone's advice, first bent down to thank everyone, and said the purpose of her coming here: "Thank you for coming to the rescue, the people's daughter is called Xin Yuying, my husband was wrongfully framed, and then he was arrested by Kuomintang agents, and is now being tried in court." ”
After all, the Kuomintang was so unreasonable, and she was also making trouble here for the safety of her husband, after all, the person being tried was the father of her child, and everyone felt sincere admiration for this brave mother.
But just because she shouted at the door, it could not change the final result of the trial, and after half an hour, the trial result also came out, and Wang Xiaohe was sentenced to death by the judge, with the words "immediate execution".
Hearing the result of the trial, Wang Xiaohe was not afraid, but used his smile to satirize the darkness and ugliness of the Kuomintang, and when she learned the result of the trial, Xin Yuying was so frightened that she sat on the ground, she couldn't accept the result of the trial, she couldn't lose her favorite husband, and her daughter would have no father before she was born, which she couldn't accept.
Faced with the result of the trial, Xin Yuying stood up to resist, her cry was supported by the masses around her, the more people who supported her, the more powerful the momentum became, and the impact of this incident became more and more serious.
Just when Xin Yuying thought that the incident had taken a turn for the better, within a few days she received the news that her husband had been killed, and the Kuomintang was afraid of another incident, so they secretly killed Wang Xiaohe and comrades in prison.
Even though her husband married her with a purpose in the first place, she did not resent him, because he was a great man who sacrificed his life for the Chinese revolution in exchange for the victory of the revolution and a peaceful life for future generations.
Except for Xin Yuying herself, her parents and family members don't know Wang Xiaohe's identity, their marriage has a purpose from the beginning, this relationship is not very pure, and it is mixed with many complicated things.
Second, the two met and got married
Xin Yuying has been living in the village before marrying her husband, is an authentic village girl, if there is no husband may be dull in the village to live their life, the two are also married, the two are old friends, 7-year-old Xin Yuying obeyed the orders of her parents and was engaged to Wang Xiaohe, who was 4 years older than her.
But as both of them reached the age of marriage, but did not see Wang Xiaohe come to the door to marry his daughter, Xin's mother took her daughter to Shanghai, and it was not until after the liberation that Xin Yuying knew that her husband was already a party member at that time, and was carrying out the tasks assigned to him by the party.
But Xin Yuying, who didn't know the inside story, followed her mother to Shanghai, and when she met Wang Xiaohe once, Xin Yuying was fascinated by him: "This is the first time I have seen him in more than ten years, at this time he is dressed very fashionably and handsome, while I am dressed as a village woman, very ugly and dirty."
The two met for the first time, and the conversation was very pleasant and confusing to Xin Yuying, Wang Xiaohe asked her: "What do you do in the countryside, what do you think of the Kuomintang, do you believe in Buddhism" and a series of strange questions, Xin Yuying heard a little strange, but still answered honestly.
Xin Yuying: "I am mainly farming, weaving and weaving in the countryside, the Kuomintang is very bad, so bad that it flows oil, they bully the people casually, do all the bad things, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't believe in anything", they chatted and talked on the side, not far away there were our party comrades from a distance to observe, and later Xin Yuying knew that those questions were the test of the party organization to her, and her answer passed the test of the party.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaohe also felt guilty about her, Wang Xiaohe informed the organization about the marriage, and told the identity of his wife, and Comrade Shen Hongchun, the contact person above, heard that he agreed, and said: "The rural daughter-in-law is good, she will not bring us trouble, and she will not have too much thought."
After marriage, Wang Xiaohe rented a room with his salary earned in the power plant, and the two lived in it, and the house was empty when they got married, but Xin Yuying didn't care about it, but she didn't know that her warm little home was a contact point carefully arranged by her husband.
After marriage, Wang Xiaohe often called a group of people to "rub mahjong", Xin Yuying heard that she was going to make a table of good dishes to entertain guests, but was stopped by Wang Xiaohe, and said that Shanghai is now strictly investigating gambling, it is very dangerous, let her go to the door to stand guard, someone will be informed, Xin Yuying is very obedient and sits at the door with a bench.
But she was very puzzled that he watched from a distance that several people did not play mahjong, but just sat at the table and chatted about things, and later learned that the people who came to her husband were all underground party members, and they only came to discuss national affairs under the pretext of playing mahjong.
Sometimes when Wang Xiaohe is not very convenient to come forward, Xin Yuying will help her husband send information, sometimes her husband will tell her which hotel to go to say those words, or where to go, what to do, how to connect, the kind Xin Yuying became a member of the revolutionary team in this way, Xin Yuying can intuitively feel that her husband and these strangers are good people, and she is very willing to help her husband.
3. Captured heroically
After marrying his wife, Xin Yuying prayed to her husband many times to have a child, Wang Xiaohe knew that his work was very dangerous and would die at any time, even if his wife had a hard time marrying her, Xin Yuying never complained, Wang Xiaohe was both guilty and distressed, and agreed to his wife's request, and it didn't take long for Xin Yuying to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a daughter for Wang Xiaohe.
The birth of his daughter made the two more affectionate, he thought that he could live the rest of his life peacefully and persevered until the victory of the revolution, but at a workers' movement, Wang Xiaohe's excellent command ability and performance were still discovered by Kuomintang agents, who believed that Wang Xiaohe was an underground party member hidden in Shanghai.
Subsequently, the Kuomintang sent people to follow up and investigate Wang Xiaohe many times, but he hid it very well and did not reveal any flaws, the Kuomintang valued Wang Xiaohe's ability very much, and decided to buy him, but Wang Xiaohe did not enter, not only did not cooperate but also did not join the Kuomintang.
Although no direct evidence was found, the Kuomintang agents still had the intention of killing by mistake rather than letting go of Wang Xiaohe, and Wang Xiaohe was severely tortured in prison, even when he was tortured and dying, he did not reveal a trace of the party's secrets.
At this time, Xin Yuying realized her husband's hidden identity, and then Wang Xiaohe was imprisoned and wrote many letters to his wife, all of which were written about guilt and love for his wife, Xin Yuying did not get angry after knowing her husband's identity, but was proud.
Knowing that Wang Xiaohe was secretly killed by the Kuomintang, Xin Yuying simply held a funeral for her husband, and then hid her whereabouts, until after the liberation, she dared to bury her husband's body and handle the funeral for him, and then the state took care of Xin Yuying's mother and daughter according to the identity of the martyr's widow.
