In February 1950, a team of Kuomintang spies suddenly broke into the Taiwan Normal University and directly broke into the dormitory of the college's female staff, causing a riot. After the riot, everyone present figured out what happened. It turned out that the Kuomintang spies had investigated and found that there were red agents lurking at the Taiwan Normal College, and this time they came to arrest people.
Arrested and imprisoned
Soon, the spies kicked open the door of the staff dormitory of the female teacher Xiao Minghua, preparing to forcibly take Xiao Minghua away. They thought that Xiao Minghua would resist or shout hysterically, but they didn't expect Xiao Minghua to be unusually calm after seeing them. Xiao Minghua asked them not to do anything, took a piece of clothing by himself and walked with them, then walked to the hanger in front of the window and picked up a cheongsam, and left with the spies.
Xiao Minghua is indeed an underground member of our party, having joined the Communist Party of China as early as 1947. She had just graduated from Peking Normal University at that time, and because of her heart for the country, she resolutely joined the party after graduation under the recommendation of her mentor Zhu Fangchun. At first, Xiao Minghua was assigned to the Ministry of Enemy Engineering to be responsible for intelligence gathering.
Later, as time passed, the war situation at home gradually became clear, and Chiang Kai-shek's purpose for preparing to flee to Taiwan became more and more clear. In view of the situation at that time, our party was prepared to lay out in Taiwan in advance, and decided to put into the hidden line to hide in Taiwan in advance, so as to facilitate the collection of intelligence and the liberation of Taiwan in the future.
Xiao Minghua already had more than a year of intelligence work experience at that time, and she was a normal student, so it was most suitable for her to go to Taiwan to work at the Taiwan Normal College. First, Hsiao Minghua has the ability to gather intelligence, and second, he can better hide his identity in Taiwan's normal college to avoid making the enemy suspicious.
It was at that time that Xiao Minghua entered the Taiwan Normal College under the arrangement of the organization, and worked with his mentor Zhu Fangchun as a brother and sister, during which he collected a lot of valuable information. Xiao Minghua has always acted cautiously and cautiously, never showing the slightest flaw, and getting along very well with the staff in the school, she really can't think of why the enemy suddenly came here today, with a clear goal to arrest herself.
In Xiao Minghua's view, the enemy may have deceived herself in this action, so after she was arrested and interrogated, no matter the enemy's coercion and temptation, she never admitted that she was an underground party, insisting that they were mistaken. It is a pity that the enemy did come prepared for this operation, and the reason why they arrested Xiao Minghua was because a traitor betrayed Xiao Minghua.
Seeing that Xiao Minghua still refused to give in, the enemy gradually lost patience, and even directly called the traitor who betrayed her over and confronted Xiao Minghua face to face. Xiao Minghua was taken aback when he saw this traitor, and naturally knew that he had been exposed, so he no longer continued to deny his identity, but was ready to sacrifice at any time, insisting that he would rather die than betray his comrades.
Before Xiao Minghua was arrested, she actually kept her back hand, and the key was on the cheongsam hanging in front of the window that she took before leaving. That was the code she had agreed with her comrades, as long as the cheongsam was not hung in front of the window, it meant that she was in danger. In such cases, the comrades of the joint will immediately ask for help from the organization and try to carry out the rescue as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Minghua has always insisted that she is not an underground party, but now in the face of the betrayal of the traitor, she knows that her hope of survival is infinitely close to zero. Xiao Minghua is a staunch Communist Party member who has never considered betraying his comrades, and now that he is in prison, he is naturally ready to sacrifice.
It's just that although Xiao Minghua is ready to sacrifice, he is in the hands of the enemy at this time, even if he begs for death, it is a luxury. The enemy continued to torture Xiao Minghua in an attempt to force Xiao Minghua to submit, but Xiao Minghua, who already had the will to die at that time, was unmoved and remained loyal and unyielding.
The situation changed suddenly
Seeing that Xiao Minghua was so tough, the enemy changed his strategy and began to promise heavy profits, hoping to lure Xiao Minghua to speak. Xiao Minghua scoffed at this, and was so angry that his interrogator yelled at her. In the end, the enemy was almost helpless, and even persuaded Xiao Minghua earnestly that as long as he said the name of the person who connected with her, he didn't have to suffer here, so why bother?
Xiao Minghua's attitude has not changed, and finally completely angered the enemy, preparing to execute Xiao Minghua to make an example of the chicken. Before executing Xiao Minghua, the enemy arranged a meal for her to cut off her head, and then brought her paper and a pen to write down her last wishes. This process is not so much that the enemy's conscience is discovered, but that the enemy is trying to "reform" the prisoner in this way, confessing to his comrades and helping them "make meritorious contributions."
But Xiao Minghua's previous attitude was very resolute, and the enemy naturally didn't have any hope for her, it was just a routine. After Xiao Minghua wrote the last "last wish" with the pen and paper given by the enemy, the enemy was surprised when he got it, because Xiao Minghua, who had been determined to die before, actually gave in this time and wrote on the paper that he was willing to confess.
This huge change immediately made the enemy very happy, because as long as Xiao Minghua confessed the list, they could receive the reward again. But the enemy is also very cunning, they are worried that Xiao Minghua's sudden change of attitude will be deceitful, so they ask her why she changed her mind? Xiao Minghua didn't hide it, and bluntly said that he had figured it out in the past few days, he was still so young, there was no need to die for others, but Xiao Minghua had a condition that he wanted to see his brother for the last time before confessing.
After careful consideration, the enemy thought that Xiao Minghua's conditions were not inappropriate, so he agreed to Xiao Minghua's conditions. Subsequently, Zhu Chunfang, who had been lurking in Taiwan as Xiao Minghua's brother, went to the interrogation room under the leadership of the enemy and met Xiao Minghua for the last time. Xiao Minghua took the opportunity to use the code words between the two to pass on a large amount of information he had to Zhu Chunfang.
After Zhu Chunfang left, the enemy immediately came to Xiao Minghua's side with a smile, and pushed the paper and pen prepared in advance in front of her, intending to ask her to write down the list. What the enemy didn't expect was that Xiao Minghua, who was still eager to survive just now, became obligated to do so again at this moment. Xiao Minghua tore up the paper handed over by the enemy, and Dasheng rebuked the enemy for being shameless, firmly stating that he would rather die than betray his comrades.
Xiao Minghua's performance made all the enemies present stunned, but soon the enemy reacted, and they were deceived. The enemy immediately arranged for someone to chase Zhu Chunfang, but Zhu Chunfang had already prepared and hid his whereabouts. After the enemy pursued him fruitlessly, he became angry and decided to shoot Xiao Minghua directly, Xiao Minghua was brutally murdered by the enemy and died heroically!
When the news of Xiao Minghua's sacrifice came, Zhu Chunfang was grief-stricken, but due to the environment at the time, he did not have the ability to retrieve Xiao Minghua's ashes. Soon after, the organization took into account the dangerous environment in which Zhu Chunfang lived, and secretly arranged for Zhu Chunfang to return to China. Zhu Chunfang has always felt deeply indebted to Xiao Minghua, and finally in the 80s, Xiao Minghua's ashes were able to return to China, and Xiao Minghua, who had been posthumously recognized as a martyr, was buried in Babaoshan Cemetery.
After Zhu Chunfang received the news, she waited at the Babaoshan Cemetery for the first time, and with deep guilt, witnessed the whole process of Xiao Minghua's ashes burial. After the burial, Zhu Chunfang wrote three big characters on Xiao Minghua's tombstone: "Return".
