Luo Junqiang, who was listed among the "Ten Great Traitors" during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was a traitor to the CCP like Zhou Fohai, and later followed Wang Jingwei in "saving the country through curves." Among the traitors, he is a skillful and fickle man. He was cruel, sinister, and vicious, and was nicknamed "The Living Yama King". But standing on the judgment bench, he gained a good reputation as a "clean official".
Luo Junqiang (1902 – February 22, 1970) was a native of Xiangxiang County, Changsha Province, Hunan Province. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1922. When he went to the sea to attend the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he could not attend the meeting because he could not find a meeting place. He joined the Kuomintang in 1925 as a captain at the Wuhan branch of the Central Military and Political School, joined Zhou Fohai, secretary general and director of the political department of the school, and later served as a political instructor at the Kuomintang Army Officer School.
In March 1939, he followed Wang Jingwei to defect to the enemy and successively served as chairman of the pseudo-frontier committee, minister of the pseudo-judicial administration department, lieutenant general of the pseudo-central tax police regiment, governor of pseudo-Anhui Province, and director of the pseudo-Bengbu Appeasement Office. In January 1945 (the 34th year of the Republic of China), he became the secretary general under Zhou Fohai, the mayor of Shanghai. He also served as Acting Commissioner of Police and Secretary of The Treasury. From August 1945 he was governor of Jiangxi Province.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was appointed by the Military Commission of the National Government of Chongqing as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Action Corps. In March 1947, Luo Junqiang was arrested and imprisoned and sentenced to life imprisonment. In January 1949, the ban on Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai was lifted from Nanjing. He was released on medical parole in 1964. He died in February 1970. He wrote "Shadow Video of the False Court- Memories of Wang's Fake Situation", which was stored in the Archives Bureau of the Shanghai Higher People's Court.
Today, I will focus on how Luo Junqiang is "incorruptible." In October 1946, he wrote in his Confessions, "I have eaten political meals for twenty years, and except for twenty-four, twenty-five, and twenty-six years of relatively stable life, I have almost often lived in debt." I have always felt that it is extremely shameful to rely on political activities and to get rich, so the concept of property is fundamentally weak, and the only thing that can really be said to be 'property' is a small house in Nanjing that was destroyed in the war and the mortgage has not yet been paid." According to him, he had no private property, and if anything, the only house he had was destroyed in the war, only "land" to be precise, and the bank loan had not been paid off.
In people's impressions, traitors and traitors are like Wang Jingwei, Chen Bijun, Zhou Fohai, and Li Shiqun, who spend money like dirt and live a corrupt life of paper drunk gold fans. They worked hard to squeeze the blood and sweat of the people in the occupied areas, regardless of the people's lives, and became the tools of the Japanese devils. Therefore, Luo Junqiang's "crying poverty" is that no one believes it, and it is believed that he is "hiding private property". Of course, the kuomintang's receiving officers will not let him go, and they will dig out the ground three feet away, but they are greatly disappointed.
Luo Junqiang explained to the prosecutor this way, "My family is not heavy at all, 'no wealth is light', and 'no wealth is full of peace'. Why pretend that I am too poor? 'Concealing private property', that's what I despise. If there is still a little justice in society and a little right and wrong in the hearts of the people, the logic of this blame must not be allowed to be established."
Zhang Junsheng was a secret agent of the military command, and in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he contacted Luo in the name of Dai Kasa. On November 7, 1946, Zhang Junsheng testified in an article entitled "Testimony for Luo Junqiang to the Capital High Court" that Luo Junqiang's family "ran to seek help in order to fight the lawsuit, and the travel and food needs still need the support of relatives and friends, and the lawyers appearing in court are also obligatory." The high-ranking pseudo-members' family situation is so strange. It is Luo Junqiang's false sin that is unforgivable, but it is honest and honest, and it is indeed true. ”
On March 6, 1947, the Republic of China's "Special Criminal Judgment of the Capital High Court" found that "after multiple investigations, the defendant did not have a special industry, and the foundation of the alfalfa new village outside the Zhongshan Gate in Nanjing was also mortgaged to the Xinhua Trust and Savings Bank on May 18, 2006, and the family life was quite bitter (with reference to Zhang Junsheng's certificate), "one of the same as the corruption and viciousness of other traitors", but "weighing the weight, it cannot be said to be'. When the crime of killing without forgiveness shall be punished within the scope of the statutory main punishment, so as to show fairness".
Judging from the verdict, the judge used words such as "simple" and "family life is quite difficult". On the one hand, the judge determined that he was indeed a "clean official", and on the other hand, he also secretly praised it and thought it was unimaginable. After all, Luo Junqiang, as a high-ranking official of the Wang puppet government, has served as a minister and governor for up to 6 years.
Of course, defecting to the enemy and betraying the country is compared with "being honest and upright," defecting to the enemy and betraying the country is a "great evil," and "being honest and upright" is a "subsection." The "great evil" is compared with the "subsection" like the relationship between the sea and a drop of water, so it is insignificant. Luo Junqiang sentenced him to "conspiring against the enemy country and plotting to rebel against his own country" and "sentenced to life imprisonment", which was also deserved.
