Preface
In 1979, Chen Yun resumed his work, and the central government appointed him to restore the innocence of the cadres who had been wronged. Chen Yun was very enthusiastic about this work, but during his work, his old illness recurred, and he had to be hospitalized for surgery.
At that time, the physical pain had reached the level that Chen Yun could not bear, but he still couldn't let go of the work at hand. Before going to the operating table, Chen Yun called the secretary to his side and said, "Call Yao Yilin quickly." ”
The secretary immediately brought Yao Yilin, who came to visit the hospital, and Chen Yun instructed: "I still don't have to worry about Pan Hannian's case, you help me hand over this letter to Comrade Hu Yaobang." ”
What did Chen Yun want to say to Hu Yaobang, and what was the Pan Hannian case that he was thinking about?
It is advisable to be rehabilitated
In 1979, Premier Deng Xiaoping reinstated a group of veteran comrades and put them in charge of various posts in the state. Among them, Chen Yun, who was the best at economic construction, was transferred back to the central government by Deng Xiaoping to take charge of the economy, and at the same time, Deng Xiaoping also asked him: "Comrade Chen Yun, please be responsible for investigating those unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in those years and rehabilitating them." ”
Chen Yun accepted the request without hesitation. In the past few years, although Chen Yun has stayed away from the central government, he has also witnessed how those old comrades have suffered those grievances. In all fairness, if he changed places, Chen Yun thought that he would not be able to persevere from that kind of life.
In the course of work, Chen Yun has successively restored his innocence to many old comrades, but there is another comrade who has always reassured Chen Yun, and that is Pan Hannian.
At this time, Pan Hannian had already passed away, which made Chen Yun want to restore Pan Hannian's innocence even more, so that he could know about it, which could be regarded as a little remedy.
After sorting out Pan Hannian's file, Chen Yun repeatedly wrote to the central authorities: "There are many doubts in Comrade Pan Hannian's case, and I think there are big problems with his punishment. ”
This request was rejected by the organization, and it was found that there was nothing wrong with Pan's case and that it was fully in line with the organizational process. But Chen Yun did not want to give up, and he once again stated: "In the 1936 negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, I was a participant. Now that there are fewer and fewer witnesses to the incident, if I don't come forward, no one will know the truth of the matter. ”
So despite the opposition of the organization, he began to contact the parties to the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1936. However, at this time, his old illness recurred and he had to go to the hospital for surgery.
On October 24, the day of the operation, Chen Yun called Yao Yilin to him and handed Yao Yilin, the letter he had prepared for a long time: "Please be sure to forward this letter to Comrade Hu Yaobang." ”
After Hu Yaobang received the letter, the content was Chen Yun's request for a review of Pan Hannian's case: "Pan Hannian can't wait anymore, but I want to see his innocence again in my lifetime." ”
Hu Yaobang sighed, he felt Chen Yun's persistence. Considering that Chen Yun is indeed old, and now he uses his life as a guarantee, maybe there are indeed doubts in Pan Hannian's case?
锒铛入狱
The time has to go back to 1955, when the two sessions were about to be held, Pan Hannian went to Beijing with the Shanghai delegation for a meeting, and by the way, he explained to Chen Yi about his underground work that year.
In 1942, in order to find out the Japanese invaders' battle plan for the New Fourth Army, our army asked Pan Hannian to try to contact Wang Jingwei, who proposed that our army would sever cooperation with Chiang Kai-shek, but Pan Hannian refused. During the two sessions in 1955, Pan Hannian reported and reviewed Chen Yi on this matter.
Chen Yi compiled Pan Hannian's report into a document and handed it to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao made a comment after browsing: "Not credible." ”
These four words sentenced Pan Hannian to death. The next day, Pan Hannian was secretly arrested by the Minister of Public Security Luo Ruiqing, and even the Shanghai delegation did not know about it. Even Yuan Shu, who came to Shanghai to visit Pan Hannian during the meeting, was arrested for this reason.
In April of that year, Li Kenong, who was in charge of our party's intelligence work, organized a batch of information on Pan Hannian's work that year, and reported it to the Politburo and the Secretariat, refuting the evidence accusing Pan Hannian of being a traitor.
At that time, the accusation against Pan Hannian only was: "Pan Hannian had work contacts with Li Shiqun and other traitors and traitors, as well as carrying out intelligence work behind the leadership of the Party Central Committee. ”
However, Li Kenong's evidence clearly shows that our party has instructions to allow Pan Hannian to use traitors and traitors to carry out his work, and Pan Hannian acted completely on orders. Moreover, when he used Li Shiqun and others, he reported to the central authorities. Judging from the results, the information provided by Pan Hannian to the central authorities was of great significance and played a great role in the work of our army.
Li Kenong believes: "As the head of an intelligence agency, Pan Hannian's agency has never leaked organizational secrets, and there is no apostasy. And he, as the head of an extremely important intelligence organization at that time, should have known about his actions, both Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. ”
Premier Zhou did stand up and express his trust in Pan Hannian: "I have the longest history of cooperation with Pan Hannian, and the relationship is the deepest, I am not nervous, why are you nervous?"
In fact, even Chen Yi, who listened to Pan Hannian's report, and Luo Ruiqing, who was responsible for the arrest of Pan Hannian, found this operation incredible, because they were also in charge of intelligence work back then and knew the inside story.
But they have not been able to change the course of the case. In 1955, Pan Hannian was imprisoned in Gongdelin.
In 1956, Chairman Mao said at an enlarged meeting: "What kind of people don't kill? People like Pan Hannian and Rao Shushi are not stupid, and they don't even kill war criminals Xuantong and Kang Ze. If you don't kill them, it's not that there is no crime to kill, but it's that killing them is disadvantageous. ”
This sealed Pan Hannian's guilt, and he was handed over to Qincheng in 1960.
Final Judgment
In 1962, after seven years in detention, Pan Hannian finally received a trial by the Supreme People's Court, and his verdict was pronounced in January 1963. Also this month, Chairman Mao once again publicly criticized Pan Hannian's behavior, calling him a "CC faction".
When the Ministry of Public Security interrogated Pan Hannian, he put forward three major crimes: "First, in 1936, he betrayed the organization and defected to the Kuomintang. The second is to take refuge in the Japanese puppet as a traitor during the Anti-Japanese War and meet Wang Jingwei. Third, after the liberation, Shanghai was covered by enemy forces, triggering a large-scale bombing. ”
Pan Hannian only admitted that he should not have met with Wang Jingwei for these accusations, and refused to admit the others. The interrogator later recalled that a Ministry of Public Security leader had interrogated Pan Hannian and told him to confess his guilt and sentence him to be released or he would remain locked up. Only then did Pan Hannian plead guilty.
In 1963, Pan Hannian was sentenced to 15 years in prison by the Supreme People's Court, but was released a month later and placed with his wife on Tuanhe Farm.
In September 1965, Pan Hannian was released on parole, and according to the rules of the organization, he was designated as an eighth-level cadre, and was able to receive 200 yuan per month for living expenses. The organization provided him with a dedicated chef and waiter, who was allowed to move freely and visit friends in the city. In practical life, Pan Hannian did not receive too many limitations.
In 1970, Pan Hannian was already suffering from liver cancer. He died of illness in 1977 at the age of 71, unable to wait for his innocence.
In 1980, when Chen Yun began to investigate Pan Hannian's case, many comrades who participated in the interrogation gave evidence. Peng Shuhua, who handled the case, said: "We all know that there are doubts in the evidence and we cannot convict, but this is the task, so we have to do it." ”
Xie Jueya, president of the Supreme People's Court, also said: "The inside story of this case is very complicated and involves many secrets of the central government. You also know that it was Premier Zhou and Kang Sheng who led Pan Hannian at that time, and they all knew about those actions, and Chairman Mao also knew about them. However, the verdict was made by the party Central Committee, and didn't Chairman Mao repeatedly reply that Pan Hannian could not be killed? As long as people live, the merits and demerits of right and wrong will one day be clarified. “
In November, Liao Chengzhi also believed that the central government should return Pan Hannian's innocence, and he listed many doubts that existed during the trial of the case that year, and wrote a letter to Chen Yun in his own handwriting, making clear his views and positions.
A colleague who worked with Pan Hannian in Wuhan also stood up. Pan Hannian is familiar with the cipher routines used by our party's intelligence agencies, and if he was a traitor, then our party's intelligence would have been discovered by the enemy a long time ago, and it would have been impossible for the work to be so smooth.
The facts are already in front of us, our army succeeded in winning the war, expelling the Japanese invaders and the Kuomintang troops. This shows that Pan Hannian did not leak the information of our party.
In March 1981, Chen Yun, who had a large amount of evidence and was confident, wrote a handwritten letter to the central leaders and attached a letter from Liao Chengzhi, and the central government finally agreed to the request for a review.
In November, the Central Committee convened a special symposium and brought together the comrades who were still alive to discuss the matter. Immediately after the meeting, Pan Hannian was acquitted of the crime and demanded that his reputation be restored.
epilogue
In August 1982, the Central Committee officially issued a document restoring Pan Hannian's reputation and recognizing him as a good comrade who was loyal to the party and had made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause.
People say that Pan Hannian was wronged under the crowd. But real gold is not afraid of fire, as long as it is innocent, it will eventually be able to be revealed to the world.
The Central Committee will not wrongfully accuse any comrade, and the commendation they deserve will come one day. Every comrade who has made contributions to the country and the revolution will receive the glory he deserves.
