The enemy is such a vicious and fierce, wanting to burn and kill the people of the northeast, wanting to make us annihilate the country and extinction at once, frightening us, and never daring to resist again... They read it wrong! Chinese, never intimidated by imperialism! Compatriots, we must dry our tears, grit our teeth, and avenge the death of our compatriots!
This is an impassioned speech made by Zhao Yiman, who is gentle, unworldly, and has a literati temperament in the movie "Zhao Yiman", to the masses. However, it was such a weak woman who showed unimaginable strength in the struggle against the Japanese army.
The Japanese army tortured Zhao Yiman, and the process was cruel and vicious
On November 15, 1935, Zhao Yiman was besieged by the Japanese puppet army in a mountain during the battle with the Japanese army, and was captured by the enemy in a coma after being wounded in the leg of the cover troops, at the age of 30. In order to obtain valuable information from Zhao Yiman's mouth, the leader of the Japanese army, Yasuharu Ōno, the foreign affairs unit of the Special Affairs Section of the Pseudo-Binjiang Provincial Police Department, interrogated Zhao Yiman overnight.
At the beginning, Taiji Ohno kept stabbing The gunshot wound on Zhao Yiman's body with a whip, and seeing that it had no effect, he kicked Zhao Yiman's whole body with his feet wearing leather shoes, and in this way, he tossed and turned for more than two hours. At that time, the wounds on Zhao Yiman's body had festered and suppurated, and the legs were also exposed with white bones. However, even so, Zhao Yiman, who was dying, still did not say a word. At this time, Taiji Ohno was afraid that Zhao Yiman would not get useful information once he died, so he escorted her to Harbin.
In Harbin, Zhao Yiman met a girl, Han Yongyi, a trainee nurse at the hospital where Zhao Yiman was treated. The 17-year-old Han Yongyi and Zhao Yiman only got along for a few days, and there was not much communication between the two, but in these few short days, she was infected by Zhao Yimanning's indomitable revolutionary ideas. Therefore, Han Yongyi decided to plan a great escape for Zhao Yiman.
Arrested twice, the Japanese army executed Zhao Yiman
On the night of November 28, 1935, Han Yongyi and another volunteer, Dong Xianxun, took advantage of the lack of guards to carry Zhao Yiman out of the back door of the hospital, and they drove out of the city in a small car they had hired in advance, and the next morning they came to the home of Dong Xianxun's uncle Dong Wuce, and with the help of Dong Wuce, they got into a carriage and rushed to the guerrilla area overnight to find the party organization.
On the morning of November 29, 1935, the Japanese gendarmes discovered that Zhao Yiman was missing, and immediately launched a search and pursuit. On the morning of November 30, when Zhao Yiman and the others were only a short distance of more than twenty miles from the guerrilla zone, the Japanese gendarmerie caught up with them, and Zhao Yiman was arrested again.
This time, the Japanese army imposed an even more brutal punishment on her, which lasted for more than seven hours, and the severe pain had already exceeded the limits of her body. However, even so, Zhao Yiman still did not say half a word, and the Japanese were desperate, so they decided to execute Zhao Yiman.
Ning Er, your mother is really sorry that you have not fulfilled your educational responsibilities. Because my mother resolutely fought against Manchuria and Japan, today she has reached the eve of sacrifice. I hope you hurry up and become an adult to comfort your underground mother. As you grow up, I hope you don't forget that your mother died for your motherland. --Zhao Yiman's suicide note
This is a suicide note written by Zhao Yiman to his son before being escorted to the execution ground, and every word makes people cry. Many years later, when Zhao Yiman's son saw this farewell letter, he engraved the name of his mother Zhao Yiman on his body, and he wanted to use this way to let his mother stay with him forever.
The Japanese war criminal handed over Zhao Yiman's handwritten poem and knelt down to beg for forgiveness
Vowing to be a man and not a home, cross the river and cross the sea to the end of the world. If the boys are all good, why are the women different? Without sparing the head of the new homeland, Gan will be enthusiastic about China. The white mountain and black water removed the enemy, and smiled at the flag red like a flower. ——Zhao Yiman, "Binjiang Shuhuai"
After the end of World War II, Taiji Ohno, who had personally interrogated Zhao Yiman, handed over this handwritten poem written by Zhao Yiman at the Japanese War Criminals Management Center.
During zhao Yiman's interrogation, Taiji Ohno was impressed by Zhao Yiman's awe-inspiring righteousness and unyielding death. Therefore, before Zhao Yiman was executed, Taiji Ohno pleaded with Zhao Yiman to leave a letter for himself, and he kept this paper on his body ever since.
At the War Criminals Management Center, Taiji Ohno knelt down crying and handed over this handwritten poem by Zhao Yiman: "She is a real Chinese woman, as a soldier, I am willing to give the most standard military salute to the heroine in my heart; as a person, I am willing to kneel down to ask for forgiveness from Ms. Zhao's soul." “
