Liu Yutian was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and his family was illustrious and wealthy. However, Liu Yutian has been spoiled since he was a child, arrogant and indulgent, and he is not interested in studying for the imperial examination. Although I have studied diligently for many years, I always drop the broom every time I come to the examination room.
One year, Liu Yutian, who was forty years old, was returning from a frustrated field when he happened to encounter the smoke of the First Sino-Japanese War. Seeing some Japan soldiers passing near his home, Liu Yutian took the initiative to act as a guide for him on a whim, pointing out the terrain along the line. Afterwards, Liu Yutian was seized by Qing Dynasty officials and survived. However, this intervention in the war gave Liu Yutian a new sense of stimulation, and from then on he left the interests of the motherland behind and took the road of rebellion.
In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese army and civilians suffered heavy casualties, and the Qing court was exhausted. Liu Yutian, on the other hand, took advantage of the victory to pursue, swaggering and deceiving everywhere, acting as a lackey and spy of the Japanese army. The government and the opposition were furious, and everyone spurned. The order to pursue him was quickly issued, and Liu Yutian was terrified, so he fled to Japan for refuge.
When he first arrived in Japan, Liu Yutian had nothing to do and made a living by copying Chinese textbooks for others. However, with his talent and knowledge, he soon found a teaching position at the University of Tokyo, and lived a privileged life without worrying about food and clothing. However, Liu Yutian's old habits are difficult to change, and his selfish thoughts of profit-seeking are becoming more and more intense.
At this time, the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 was on the verge of breaking out. The Japanese government favored this traitor who "knew Chinese" and immediately recruited Liu Yutian as a military adviser. Liu Yutian was deeply rooted in Huayi ideology in his bones, and he was committed to serving Japan and providing important information such as military terrain and transportation arteries for the Japanese army...
After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Liu Yutian did not stop there, but repeatedly escalated the level of treason. In order to show his so-called "contribution", he took the initiative to flatter the Japanese government, hoping to become a Japanese citizen. After several twists and turns, he finally got his wish and officially became a Japan national.
In the following years, Liu Yutian settled in Tokyo and taught Chinese at local universities. On the surface, he is just an ordinary language teacher, but in fact, he has already secretly colluded with the Japan military and become its important informant. Whenever there was an imminent war, the Japanese army would secretly order Liu Yutian to go to China to reconnoiter the military situation, arrange spies, and win over traitors.
In 1937, the July Seven Incident broke out, and Japan invaded China in full. This time, Liu Yutian played an unprecedented and important role. He not only personally participated in the war with the army, but was also reused by the upper echelons of the Japanese army, entrusted with the important task of consultant, formulating combat strategies, deploying force, and plundering resources. In order to win the trust of the Japanese generals, Liu Yutian did his best to implement all kinds of dirty deeds.
For example, when he was in an important position in the Yanxi Mountain Department in Shanxi, he vigorously instigated the Japanese army to wantonly slaughter, burn, kill and loot the local countryside. It can be seen that this former noble son has long since completely lost his humanity and degenerated into a vampire of the Japan invaders.
What is even more appalling is that in order to show his allegiance to the Japan Emperor, Liu Yutian actually spent a huge amount of money to purchase two fighter planes for the Japanese army to bomb Chinese compatriots indiscriminately. This kind of hands-on traitorous behavior was rare at that time.
With such cunning and treacherous internal responses, the Japanese army made rapid progress. In an instant, all the important cities in China, such as North China and Northeast China, were occupied. Liu Yutian also took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, lobbied the Chinese everywhere to submit to the emperor, and strongly advocated the launch of the "Greater East Asia War". It can be said that the list of crimes is too numerous to mention.
For the Japan government, Liu Yutian is undoubtedly the most effective traitor. Therefore, in 1943, the Emperor specially summoned him and conferred him the rank of 6th Class as a token of merit. Since then, this scum who betrayed the motherland has also been rightfully earned.
With the continuous expansion of the Japanese army in North China and Northeast China, Liu Yutian's prestige is also increasing day by day. This traitor from a noble family has long regarded himself as a dignitary bathed in the emperor's grace, accustomed to clinging to power and being reserved everywhere.
Whenever the Japanese army won a battle in China, Liu Yutian would be arrogant, boasting about the traitors and friends around him, showing off what he had done. He said arrogantly that it was precisely because of those of us who were familiar with the Huayi language and culture that we provided the Japanese army with a lot of valuable information that it was able to occupy most of China's territory so quickly.
Sometimes Liu Yutian would show the honors he had been summoned and personally awarded by the Emperor of Japan to his friends on the left and right, and proudly proclaim that this was the highest recognition and reward given by the emperor for my loyalty.
Liu Yutian also regarded the two fighters he purchased from the Japanese army as the greatest pride in his life. Whenever someone mentions it, he will always tell the story of the combination of grace and power: At that time, the Japanese army was in urgent need of new aircraft, so I sold all my family property, cashed in millions of yen, and put these banknotes on the imperial case......
Regarding the Japanese army's massacre of compatriots and plundering resources, Liu Yutian even spoke of it as a supreme achievement. He once narrated what he did when he was in Shanxi, the burning, killing and looting scenes in the local countryside, and added many extremely exaggerated and embellished words. Liu Yutian thinks that he is not the bravest and most ruthless traitor, who has made great contributions and deserves to be recorded in history?
Liu Yutian was afraid that the world would not know his eloquence, and he also dragged his family background and gate level up and said. He proudly said that I had been well educated and well-read since I was a child, and I had long since seen through the red dust and scoffed at the hypocritical Chinese values. Of course, we Han people should rely on such a powerful country as Japan, not be subject to those Kuomintang bandits who are careless of human life......
After decades of fighting, Liu Yutian can be said to have exhausted his ability and done his best on the road of traitors. But with the announcement of Japan's unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, his arrogant traitor finally came to the end of his fate.
At the beginning of the surrender, Liu Yutian still had a glimmer of light. He believed that with his historical exploits in serving the Japanese army over the years, he would definitely be able to obtain generous protection and arrangements. However, the Japanese have long forgotten about him as a discarded pawn and are not willing to spend a penny more on his vanity.
With nothing to do, Liu Yutian had to disguise his identity, assumed the pseudonym "He Wenquan", and hid with heavy family wealth. He traveled from place to place in the Northeast, sometimes hiding in factories and sometimes blending in with the homeless. But no matter how you cover it up, it is difficult to hide the swaying posture of his noble son. Soon, he was suspicious and scrutinized by the locals.
In September 1951, the 81-year-old Liu Yutian was finally arrested by the Northeast People's Liberation Army and finally paid the final price for his crimes. In prison, he boasted of his glory and wealth to his fellow inmates several times, and tried his best to maintain his ridiculous vanity. Before his execution, Liu Yutian still boasted to his fellow inmates that I had enjoyed supreme power, fame and fortune in this life, and I really had no regrets.
In the early morning of September 10, Liu Yutian, who was full of white hair, was escorted to the execution ground. Faced with the muzzle, this traitor, who had been favored by the emperor of Japan several times, finally had to pay for his crimes. The bullet hit his old and rickety body, and the life of a traitor came to an end, but his crimes were too numerous to write and will be remembered for thousands of years.
The reason why Liu Yutian was able to go so far on the road of traitor is really the result of his family background and personal conduct.
Born in a family of scholars, Liu Yutian has been influenced by feudal dross since he was a child, and he thinks very highly of himself. In addition, the repeated encounters in the scientific field made him completely lose confidence in traditional values, and he became the shameless person who sold himself in the future.
If the First Sino-Japanese War opened the door to Liu Yutian's treason, then the Russo-Japanese War completely turned him into an anti-China element who did all kinds of evil. In that battle, he provided a large amount of military intelligence to the Japanese army, causing heavy casualties to the Chinese military and civilians. This was already his first heinous crime.
But Liu Yutian did not stop there, but rolled farther and farther. After the July Seven Incident in 1937, he not only continued to serve the Japanese army, but also took the initiative to ask for Japan nationality and became a traitor among traitors. In North China and Northeast China, he commanded the Japanese army to burn and plunder, slaughter innocents, and take care of fraternal harmony.
What is even more outrageous is that Liu Yutian personally purchased two fighter planes for the Japanese army thousands of miles away to bomb Chinese cities in the air, causing heavy casualties to tens of thousands of compatriots. Such heinous acts are truly unforgettable and shocking.
The reason why Liu Yutian was able to do so much is inseparable from his personality. On the one hand, he was extremely conceited, and saw himself as a dignitary bathed in the emperor's grace; On the other hand, he has a crazy obsession with power, and he will do whatever it takes to flatter the powerful.
It is precisely such a person who will do his best to serve Japan regardless of the life or death of the people of the motherland. In his philosophy, the Chinese should indeed be vassalized with a powerful country like Japan, and it is only natural that the prisoners should be under the ranks. No wonder before his execution, Liu Yutian was still boasting that he had enjoyed supreme glory and wealth.
Liu Yutian's life can be called a living "negative teaching material". His fate reflects the truth that no one should think too highly of himself, let alone put his selfish desires above the nation-state, otherwise he will be doomed.
