preface
On an autumn night in 1946, an alley in Shanghai was filled with tranquility and mystery.
Wu Qun dared to stand at the entrance of the alley with a nervous expression, holding a note tightly in his hand, and the joint code written on it seemed to carry a thousand burdens.
His heart beat sharply with the sound of approaching footsteps, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the man who had a profound impact on his life—his father, Wu Zhongxi. His father's revolutionary spirit was like a shining lamp, illuminating his way forward, but they never joined hands on the same battlefield.
What kind of unknown secrets will be revealed in this joint?
Wu Qun dares
Wu Qunkang grew up in a family environment full of revolutionary atmosphere and was deeply influenced by his father's revolutionary spirit.
In 1939, at the age of 19, he was fortunate to meet Liu Wudan, a member of the Communist Party, at school. Liu Wudan is not only his best friend, but also his enlightenment mentor on the road of life. Under the leadership of Liu Wudan, Wu Qun dared to devote himself to the embrace of the Communist Party of China with full of enthusiasm and resolutely devoted himself to the arms of the Communist Party of China, and since then he has embarked on a magnificent revolutionary career.
However, the war-torn years are always full of uncertainties and challenges.
In a fierce battle, Wu Qun was seriously wounded and unfortunately lost contact with the party organization. During that period of isolation, he fell into a deep loneliness and confusion. But even so, his firm belief in the revolution never wavered in the slightest.
During the period of recuperation, Wu Qun dared to think repeatedly about his choices and beliefs, and he knew that although the road of revolution was tortuous, the future would be bright.
After recovering from his injury, after graduating from university, he obeyed his father's arrangement and entered the Shanghai Stock Exchange to work. This job seems ordinary, but with his keen insight, Wu Qun gradually discovered that many seemingly ordinary colleagues are actually secretly dedicating themselves to the party's cause. This discovery rekindled his innermost desire to get in touch with the party organization.
By chance, Wu Qun dared to unexpectedly reveal the true identity of his uncle Wang Shaohua.
This surprising discovery, like a ray of light in the darkness, pointed out the direction for him to return to revolutionary work. Under the careful guidance and help of his uncle, Wu Qun dared to devote himself to the secret revolutionary struggle again. What he didn't expect was that in a crucial secret mission, the object waiting for him to connect with was his father Wu Zhongxi, whom he had always loved. This sudden discovery shocked him, and his heart swelled with endless emotion.
Wu Zhongxi
Wu Zhongxi was born into a wealthy family, but the favorable living conditions did not let him lose himself in comfort.
Since he was a child, he has been deeply infiltrated and nurtured by revolutionary ideas. He was born in 1895 in the revolutionary city of Fuzhou. In 1911, when the flames of the Xinhai Revolution were blazing, Wu Zhongxi did not hesitate to devote himself to this great struggle to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, and quickly grew into a heroic and fearless revolutionary soldier.
In 1926, Wu Zhongxi led his troops to capture Tingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge as a regimental commander, and was promoted for his outstanding military exploits.
The April 12 coup d'état of 1927 left him deeply disappointed and saddened by the corruption and darkness of the Kuomintang. At the trough and confused moment of life, by chance, Wu Zhongxi got acquainted with Wang Shaohua. Under the influence and guidance of Wang Shaohua, he secretly joined the Communist Party of China, and since then has played a secret but staunch role as a communist in the national army.
In 1934, Wu Zhongxi was ordered to retire to the Cantonese army.
In 1936, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, he once again stepped forward and was active on the front lines of the war. During those war-torn days, he took huge risks to secretly protect the office of the Eighth Route Army and transmitted a lot of key and important information to the party. Despite being in the enemy camp and surrounded by crises, Wu Zhongxi always adhered to his firm belief in the Communist Party and never wavered or flinched in the slightest.
He knew very well that only through his unremitting efforts and dedication could he contribute more strength to the revolutionary cause.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he risked his life and death many times to pass precious and important information to the party organization. This not only earned him a high prestige in the national army, but also put him under tremendous pressure and risks unimaginable to ordinary people.
Father and son hand in hand
On that meaningful night in 1946, Wu Qunan finally recognized his father, Wu Zhongxi.
At that moment, it dawned on him that his father had been silently supporting him behind his back, and had made the same or even more arduous efforts for the revolutionary cause. Under the careful arrangement of the party organization, the father and son worked closely together and fought side by side. With their extraordinary wisdom and fearless courage, they successfully delivered a series of important information. In the Huaihai Campaign, their efforts played a crucial role and greatly reduced the casualties of our army.
In 1948, Wu Zhongxi successfully obtained key intelligence on the Huaihai Campaign.
In a dangerous environment, he skillfully avoided the enemy's surveillance and interrogation, and passed on this valuable information to his son Wu Quunkang. Wu Qun dared to live up to the trust, and with his outstanding adaptability and firm conviction, he smoothly passed on the information to our party. The timely acquisition and accurate transmission of this information became one of the key factors in the final victory of the Huaihai Campaign.
After successfully completing this arduous and important task, Wu Qunkang was transferred to Premier Zhou's office as a secretary because of his outstanding performance and outstanding work ability, and continued to shine and make unremitting efforts for the revolutionary cause.
In 1950, Wu Zhongxi chose to disclose his true identity, and then served as the acting president of the Guangdong Provincial People's Court and the director of the Provincial Department of Justice, and actively participated in the construction and development of the country. The revolutionary contributions of their father and son, like bright stars, shine with eternal light in the long river of history and become an indelible glorious chapter.
The revolutionary deeds of Wu Zhongxi and Wu Qunkang, father and son, not only left a strong mark in that magnificent history, but also set a lofty and immortal example for future generations.
With their own blood and lives, they vividly interpreted the indestructible revolutionary conviction and the great spirit of selfless dedication. In those eventful years full of blood and fire, family affection and revolution were intertwined, and faith and dedication converged into a powerful force. This is not only a touching revolutionary story between father and son, but also a legendary epic of faith and courage.
