On May 7, 1949, shanghai was finally liberated. The most prosperous and largest city in southern China returned to the hands of the people after escaping the control of the Kuomintang garrison. New China is about to be founded, the dark clouds are slowly dissipating, and the revolutionary cause for which countless Communist Party members have struggled all their lives will usher in the dawn of victory. It was supposed to be a day of national celebration, but there was such a woman who was cut off from the joyful atmosphere by sadness - at this time, her husband did not know whether he was alive or dead, and whether he could return to him safely. For several days, she had been inquiring about news, traveling and tired, looking for the whereabouts of her husband.
This woman, named Qiu Huiying, is an underground party member who has made great contributions to our party's propaganda work and intelligence and communication work. On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, her husband was unfortunately captured by the Kuomintang and tortured, and her life and death were unpredictable. Now that Shanghai has been liberated and the cause they have worked so hard for is finally coming to light, she is eager to share this exciting news with her husband, but she has to face the heart-wrenching truth that her husband's whereabouts are unknown and his life and death are uncertain.
She inquired around for news, and accidentally learned from the newspaper that the bodies of many revolutionary volunteers who had been killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries had been found in Hongqiao Cemetery, Pushan Mountain Villa and other places. The news was neither good nor good, because she had not been able to find any real news related to her husband since this time. But if there is indeed a husband's body there, then the news is very sad; if there is no husband's body, then although the husband has not been found, it is likely that he is still alive and well. In any case, Qiu Huiying decided to immediately go looking for them, identify them one by one, and see if there was any of her husband's body. If anything, she would at least let her husband burrow.
However, after several careful checks, she finally found no clues related to her husband. There's an old saying that no news is the best news. So she was lucky that she didn't find her husband in those remains, proving that he might still be alive. But shortly thereafter, another piece of news came. Shanghai police staff found some clues, and after contacting Qiu Huiying, they took her with them to a wasteland in the Yangsi area of Shanghai's Pudong. What did these staff members bring Qiu Huiying here for? Is it to let the husband and wife recognize each other or to take her to identify the body?
When the group arrived at the scene, they saw a corpse lying on the ground, the robe worn by the deceased was full of bullet holes, and the dried up dark red blood stains soaked through a large piece of cloth. Suddenly, her heart was like a knife, tears were raining down, and under the dappled blood and scars, what could not hide was her husband's familiar face. The sight in front of her not only made the little hope of the original completely disappear, but also filled her heart with hatred for the Kuomintang reactionaries, hating them for being inhumane and bloodless.
In fact, while Qiu Huiying was searching for her husband's whereabouts, the public security organs in Shanghai were also stepping up their horsepower to search around. On the third day after the liberation of Shanghai, Chen Yi, who had just become the mayor of Shanghai, received a secret telegram. The secret message came from Li Kenong, acting director of the Central Intelligence Bureau of the Cpc Central Committee, expressing the hope that Chen Yi would help find a comrade named Li Jing'an, and if he was still alive, he would find someone to escort him to Beiping, and if he was killed by the Kuomintang, he would also receive his body. In general, it is to live to see people, and to die to see corpses. It can be seen from this that the central authorities attach great importance to this person named Li Jing'an, so who is this person?
I can't guess that this Li Jing'an is the husband that Qiu Huiying has been looking for. Li Jing'an is actually his pseudonym, originally named Li Bai, in order to carry out underground work, he also used the pseudonym Li Xia. He was born into a peasant family in Banxi Village, Zhangfang Township, Liuyang City, Hunan Province, from a poor family that was even difficult to make ends meet, so he was not able to enroll until the age of eight. But not long after life was on the right track, the change happened again - the mother died suddenly, and the family has lost a main bone since then.
But life always has to go on, big and small things have to be taken care of, and the younger brothers and sisters are still young, and they can't be left unattended. Seeing that all the burden was on his father's shoulders, Li Bai was heartbroken, and he had to drop out of school to work in the landlord's house to share some heavy responsibilities for the poor family. During his part-time job, the landlord's extravagance and oppression of the poor people often made him feel angry and dissatisfied. This dealt a huge blow to Li Bai's young mind, and he was extremely disgusted by this inequality between people, so he secretly swore in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely break this bad habit and contribute to the people.
In 1925, the revolutionary activities were already in full swing, the revolutionary wind blew to Li Bai's hometown, peasant associations, women's associations, children's leagues and other organizations were established one after another, Li Bai joined the peasant associations and children's leagues early, and gradually moved towards the road of revolution. After that, he joined the Communist Party and became a true revolutionary.
In 1930, Li Bai joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and was assigned to the Fourth Army of the Red Army as a propagandist. In 1931, Li Bai was selected by the party committee to participate in the radio training class at the headquarters of the Red Fourth Army, during the study period, Li Bai was very hard and serious, after returning from school, Li Bai was transferred to the Fifth Army and the Thirteenth Army as a radio political commissar, during which Time Li Bai was notoriously helpful. But at this time, Li Bai may not know that his next life will be closely connected with radio communications.
After that, the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out in full swing, and the rapid development of secret communication work was particularly important at this time. On October 10, 1937, Li Bai, alias Li Xia, went to Shanghai at the request of the organization to carry out secret communications work. In Shanghai, Li Bai's external identity is that of a corporate employee. In order for him to be able to carry out his work smoothly and to ensure his safety, the party organization specially entrusted others to rent a small building in the French Concession. The small building has three floors, the first floor opens a clinic to cover, the second floor is Li Bai's home, and the third floor is built with a radio.
Living in the French Concession, the house is a three-story small Western-style building, and he also has a decent formal job, anyone who seems to think that Li Bai must be a young master of a rich family, and the degree of eating and wearing is definitely dozens of times more luxurious than ordinary people. But the actual situation is that a coarse cloth dress Li Bai washed and washed, and after wearing it, he patched it and continued to wear it, almost unable to see the original appearance. Born in a peasant family and accustomed to a hard life since childhood, Li Bai is very simple, coupled with his honest and loyal appearance, which can make it very difficult for the people in the organization at the beginning - it is obvious that the real image of Li Bai is seriously inconsistent with the Li Xia he needs to play.
Therefore, he was asked to change into a long shirt, learn Shanghainese in a short period of time, learn interpersonal entertainment, and learn how to reconcile with people. He tried to adapt to the high-end clubs that were often visited by those stupid children and dignitaries, and the rules for eating and drinking tea had to be carefully studied. For Li Bai, this is not only not easy to pretend, he can't bear it. The thought of his comrades-in-arms fighting in the front line while he enjoyed the glory and wealth here was very unpleasant in his heart. But when he thought about the organization's painstaking efforts to cover for itself, it was not just to carry out the secret communication work smoothly, which was the most important thing at the moment. As a result, Li Bai's heart slowly relaxed, and he worked harder to set up a communication station as soon as possible.
In the spring of 1938, Li Bai finally completed the construction of Shanghai's secret radio station, which can be called a feat, and since then there has been an "air bridge" between Shanghai and Yan'an. With excitement in his mood, he tried to call out to Yan'an. In the few seconds waiting for a response, the passage of time seemed to be slowed down hundreds of times, and Li Bai held his breath and did not dare to move.
Soon, Yan'an responded, and this short signal exchange made Li Bai extremely excited. But at the same time, Li Bai thought of a problem, the radio temporary patchwork, the power is large and unstable, which is very easy to cause the surrounding residents voltage instability, and even cause power outages, but if the power is too small, and can not send the information out. But fortunately, Li Bai was hard-working during the training class, did not hesitate to ask questions, and mastered excellent radio communication technology. In order to solve this problem, he immersed himself in research, defied all difficulties, and finally found a solution to the problem. He chose to use the wires of the radio as cover, and chose to send it in the early hours of the morning when people were already asleep, when there was less air interference, the enemy was letting down his guard, and reconnaissance activities were relatively small compared to other periods. Every time he wanted to send a telegram, Li Bai carefully covered the light bulb with a black cloth to prevent it from attracting attention, and would also put a small piece of paper on the contact point of the electric key to prevent the alarm from being too loud to arouse suspicion.
At that time, the situation on the front line was grim and the situation was complicated, and the intelligence work at this time was particularly important for the strategic decision-making of the central government at every step. Therefore, the central authorities attach great importance to Shanghai's intelligence work, and specially sent Gong Yinbing to Shanghai to lead the radio work, and Gong Yinbing has rich experience in this regard, which can be described as icing on the cake for Li Bai's work.
Gong Yinbing took cover as the general manager of Xiangxiuzhuang in Wanyuan, Hunan, to assist and lead Li Bai's work. Later, due to problems in Li Bai's residence, Gong Yinbing immediately instructed him to evacuate and re-find the location of the radio station. At the same time, Gong Yinbing also suggested that the organization send a female comrade of the same age as Li Bai to pretend to be Li Bai's wife to cover Li Bai's identity.
When Qiu Huiying first met Li Bai, Li Bai was wearing a long shirt and a landlord-like gentleman's outfit, Qiu Huiying's impression of Li Bai was not very good, but the superior leader told Qiu Huiying that when Li Bai was an enterprise employee in Shanghai, he naturally had the appearance of an enterprise employee, how could he still be as informal as before, then wouldn't he want to expose his identity?
Qiu Huiying began to slowly understand Li Bai, and also felt sorry for her misunderstanding of Li Bai, in the subsequent relationship, Qiu Huiying learned that Li Bai was born in a poor family, but people are not poor, from an early age determined to contribute to the people, diligent and earnest to deal with the work assigned by the Party Central Committee, the attitude is serious and serious, and there has never been the slightest slackness. Slowly, she developed a heartfelt admiration and appreciation for Li Bai, in the next work, the two are more cooperative tacit understanding, life is often mutual care, a year of side by side and life so that the two have a pure love, and in 1940 by the CCP organization approval, officially married as a revolutionary partner.
But before the official marriage, the two worked together in the house during the day, and when they slept at night, Qiu Huiying slept on the bed, li bai slept on the ground, in order not to show the clues, they pretended to be ordinary couples, like the plot of the TV series "Latent".
Mao Zedong published a number of important articles during this period, and these were passed on little by little through Li Bai. In winter, sometimes Li Bai's fingers are frozen red and purple, and he has not paused once, and every time, Qiu Huiying will always monitor the surrounding movements at the downstairs window, and if there is any abnormality, he will notify Li Baili to do the finishing work at the first time.
But after the radio often fails, Li Bai will not repair the radio, repeatedly looking for maintenance personnel is bound to put themselves in a dangerous situation, so Li Bai and Gong Yinbing began to discuss countermeasures. After the consent of the party organization, it was finally decided to open a Fusheng Radio Company in Shanghai, with tu Zuochao, the maintenance staff, as the boss, Li Bai as The Accountant, the first floor as the company, and the second floor as their living place. Li Bai here followed the crew to learn the installation and maintenance technology of the radio, in addition, if there are some problems that Li Bai cannot solve on the radio, Tu Zuochao can also help solve it. After half a year of study, Li Bai has mastered the technology of repairing the radio station and can skillfully solve all the problems that may arise from the radio. So they quickly evacuated the area and re-established the radio station elsewhere.
At this time, the Japanese were becoming increasingly rampant and unscrupulous, and directly drove the army to the concession and carried out a frenzied search for the Communists. In order to cover the radio, Li Bai has reduced the power of the radio to 15 watts, but what he did not expect was that the Japanese updated the detection technology. Not long after their inspectors entered the concession, the location of Li Bai's telegram was discovered. But at this time, Li Bai had not yet found an abnormality.
On the eve of this Mid-Autumn Festival, the vast moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and there was a miserable and cold silence. Li Bai, as usual, was telegraphing in the attic, while Qiu Huiying stood quietly in front of the window, monitoring the situation nearby. Suddenly, Qiu Huiying heard a rush of footsteps, and she had some bad premonitions in her heart. She quietly lifted the curtains, and through the glass saw that numerous gendarmes and a few plainclothes agents had rushed in this direction - no, the location had been exposed, and we had been discovered! She immediately informed Li Bai and told him to pack up the newspaper tools and retreat immediately.
But at this time, the more anxious the situation, the more we cannot panic. Li Bai was anxious in his heart, but he did not see panic in his hands, and after calmly and calmly and quickly sent the telegram, he sent three "goodbyes" in a row. I believe that the comrades on the other side already know the situation here, because these three "goodbyes" are the secret codes of Li Bai and the comrades who sent the newspaper over there, implying that there is danger here.
After sending it, Li Bai quickly dismantled the transmitter into small parts and hid it, disguised as a peaceful and relaxed look. When the Japanese broke in, they involuntarily began searching the transmitter, eventually finding the dismantled parts in the floor. The Japanese asked viciously, "What is this?" Li Bai, still calm and composed, replied, "I am a guest of this family, and I have only lived here for a short time, and I have not seen these things." And one of the Japanese was very cunning, took Li Bai's hand and looked at it repeatedly, shouting: "Hum! You're old qualified! The Japanese gendarmes immediately arrested Li Bai and Qiu Huiying and imprisoned them for severe torture, but Li Bai and Qiu Huiying swore that they would not let up their words, and the Japanese saw that they could not interrogate any useful information from their mouths, so they temporarily released Qiu Huiying and transferred Li Bai to the headquarters of the 76 Wang pseudo-agents. It was not until May 1943, after many rescues organized by the Ccp, that Li Bai was released from prison.
However, this did not stop Li Bai's determination to continue to pass on intelligence; Li Bai later assumed the pseudonym Li Jing'an, and left Shanghai with his wife Qiu Huiying for the Zhejiang area, where the public security officer was the Kuomintang's Chongqing reporter, but in fact Li Bai used the Kuomintang radio station to continue to send intelligence to Yan'an with special frequencies and call signs.
One day, Li Bai hid the radio in a basket and took a boat to Chun'an, but once it was not as smooth as in the past, Li Bai came up with the evidence that could best prove his identity as a Kuomintang reporter, but the enemy ignored this, Li Bai was once again unfortunately arrested, and the underground organization immediately sent people to negotiate after learning about it, and Li Bai was able to escape from the clutches of the enemy.
With the surrender of Japan and the comprehensive victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Anti-Communist tendencies of the Kuomintang were exposed. Not only did they arrest and maim communists on the surface, but they also often cut off power in different regions and sent out groups of professional radio inspectors. These inspectors lurk in various places, secretly searching for signals, and once they determine the location of the signal, someone will immediately go to search. And all these actions were taken by the Kuomintang to prevent our underground party members from secretly passing on information. However, our intelligence transmission work is becoming more and more perfect, and as long as the timing is right, it can catch the Kuomintang off guard, thus putting them in an unfavorable situation.
Therefore, at this time, Li Bai is undoubtedly caught in the depths of the water, and all actions must be cautious and careful. Li Bai used the open occupation of an electrical equipment repairman at the Fisheries Management Office in Shanghai as a cover, leaving early and returning late. Late at night, Li Bai would get up from his bed and begin to convey to the Central Committee the latest developments of the Kuomintang in recent days. Li Bai knew that the Kuomintang had laid down a network of heaven and earth in order to prevent the underground party from transmitting information, and once he was caught again, then Shanghai's communication with the central authorities would be interrupted, so he immediately contacted Li Qingfeng, who was leading the radio work at that time, and with their full cooperation, successfully built a reserve radio station.
In the early morning of December 30, 1948, Li Bai was sending information that was very important to the central authorities, Qiu Huiying found that the Kuomintang troops were besieging their residence, Qiu Huiying immediately informed Li Bai to stop sending reports, but Li Bai could not take care of so much at this time, and he sent the remaining telegrams out before going to hide the machine. But the enemy was not so confused, and after a search, the enemy still found the radio station he had hidden.
After being arrested by the enemy, Li Bai was imprisoned in the Second Inspection Brigade of the North Sichuan Road Garrison Headquarters. The enemy tortured Li Bai for more than 30 hours to extract a confession, and during these 30 hours, they did everything to the extreme, they used pliers to pull li Bai's nails off one by one, nailed sharp bamboo sticks into his fingers, and burned Li Bai's body with burned red charcoal, in addition to suffering incomparable pain, the enemy also tried to threaten him with Li Bai's wife, monk, and young child, but Li Bai was soft and hard, no matter how cruel and bad the enemy's means were, Li Bai was unyielding. His revolutionary comrades and any secrets of the Party concerned will never be betrayed.
In March 1949, Qiu Huiying took her son to visit the prison, only to see that Li Bai was tortured to the point of no blood, he was still put out by two prisonmates, his feet were broken, Qiu Huiying saw the situation, for a time the heartache was unbearable, the words of heartache could not be said in the mouth, after that, the atmosphere of the Peace Talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party gradually became thicker, and the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party seemed to ease on the surface, so Li Bai had the opportunity to send a letter back to his wife, to report peace to his wife, so that the wife could cherish herself.
May 7. Qiu Huiying took the child to visit Li Bai, and this time, Li Bai said to Qiu Huiying: "In the future, you should not come to see me again." Qiu Huiying didn't know why Li Bai said this, she quickly asked: "Why, is it already sentenced?" Li Bai said: "It is almost dawn, and what I hope for has finally been seen, and if I can come back in the future, it is best, and if I can't go back, I hope you will cherish yourself." Finally, before Qiu Huiying left with the child, Li Bai shouted to the child: "Daddy will go back to hug you in a few days." ”
Unexpectedly, this distinction was a farewell, and Li Bai was sentenced to death that night. This day happened to be Li Bai's 39th birthday. Young life thus perished.
On September 18, 1950, Ye Danqiu, who presided over the sabotage of Li Bai's secret radio station, was arrested and paid for his blood debts, Ye Danqiu was sentenced to death in Shanghai on January 13, 1951, and the head of the Kuomintang agent who personally killed Li Bai and other criminals were also punished accordingly.
Li Bai is like a fire in the darkness, lighting up the light of new China, and then in order to commemorate Li Bai, bayi Film Studio filmed "The Eternal Wave", in which the protagonist Li Xia is a character created based on Li Bai, once the film was released, it immediately swept the country, the man who died generously in the movie became a hero in people's hearts, and Li Bai, just like the eternal electric wave, deserves to be remembered by all Chinese.
I am the Phantom of Shi Hai, and I am following me to praise history.
