"Old Zheng" Cai Xiaoqian

On January 29, 1950, the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau arrested a man at No. 26 Quanzhou Street in Taipei City, code-named "Lao Zheng", who was 42 years old at the time. The arrest of "Old Zheng" made Mao Renfeng, director of the Secrecy Bureau, very excited and treated him with courtesy, but "Old Zheng" seized the opportunity to escape in chaos.

Unfortunately, not long after, an underground CCP member surnamed Huang was arrested, and he confessed the hiding place of "Lao Zheng", which directly led to the second arrest of "Lao Zheng". This time, Mao Renfeng did not treat him kindly, and after a heavy sentence, his will collapsed completely, he defected to the organization, and gave up the entire list of underground party organizations in Taiwan.

"Lao Zheng", whose real name was Cai Xiaoqian, was then secretary of the Taiwan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Cai Xiaoqian

Cai Xiaoqian, born in 1908 in Changhua County, Taiwan Province, joined the Taiwan Cultural Association in his early years, the predecessor of the Communist Party of Taiwan. In 1928, the 20-year-old Cai Xiaoqian arrived in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, via Xiamen and Zhangzhou, and officially joined the Communist Party of China. At the Second National Congress of the Chinese Soviets on January 22, 1934, he was elected to the Presidium.

In October 1934, the Central Red Army began the Long March, and Cai Xiaoqian followed the team through hardships and finally arrived in northern Shaanxi, and he was the only Taiwanese party member to participate in the Long March.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Cai Xiaoqian served as the director of the Enemy Industry Department and the director of the Democratic Movement Department of the Field Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, and was responsible for managing the Japanese prisoners and publicizing the enemy in Japanese. For a talent like him who was proficient in Japanese, the organization had been well protected and had hardly ever been on the front lines.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Cai Xiaoqian secretly returned to Taiwan in July 1946 and was appointed secretary of the Taiwan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. Soon he organized the Changhua peasant rent reduction struggle, the Taipei railway workers' movement, etc., with his excellent work ability, by the time of the founding of New China, there were more than 1,300 members of the Communist Party of China in Taiwan, and Cai Xiaoqian was also elected as a member of the First National Committee of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference and a member of the East China Military and Political Committee.

At that time, the focus of the work of the Taiwan Provincial Working Committee was to cooperate with the People's Liberation Army in liberating Taiwan!

Unfortunately, in early 1950, an underground party member named Wang Mingde defected, and the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau followed the vine and arrested Cai Xiaoqian on January 29.

After all, Cai Xiaoqian was an old revolutionary who had traveled a long march of 25,000 miles, and after his arrest, he was vague and never revealed any information. One day, he pretended to take the secret bureau to trap other CCP members, and successfully escaped in the middle of the road, leaving a confused Kuomintang agent.

After his second arrest, Cai Xiaoqian was beaten to the ground, and coupled with the fact that the Kuomintang captured his sister-in-law Ma Wenjuan, cai Xiaoqian immediately completely defected.

Cai Xiaoqian's rebellion almost paralyzed the entire taiwan underground party organization, and the Kuomintang authorities immediately began a large-scale arrest, and nearly 2,000 people were imprisoned before and after, including General Wu Shi, whom we are familiar with.

"There's so little to be done for the people."

Wu Shi, born in Fuzhou in 1894, joined the Fujian Northern Expedition Student Army at the age of 16. When he graduated from Baoding Military Academy, his grades were the first in the whole school, and Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi and others were his classmates. In 1929, Wu Shi went abroad for further study, successively studied at the Japanese Artillery School and the Japanese Army University, and his graduation results were also the first in that year. After 1937, Wu Shi served as the director of the first division of the second department of the military headquarters and the chief of staff of the fourth theater, and participated in the planning of the Battle of Wuhan and the Third Battle of Changsha.

Young Wu Shi

After the outbreak of the all-out civil war, General Wu Shi was greatly disappointed in the face of various corruption phenomena of the Kuomintang, and gradually became associated with the Chinese Communist Party. In April 1947, he met with the head of the Shanghai Bureau at the Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai and accepted an extremely dangerous mission: lurking.

In both the Battle of the Crossing River and the subsequent Great March, General Wu Shi delivered important intelligence to the People's Liberation Army, and even deployed troops accurate to the regimental level.

In June 1949, the Kuomintang transferred Wu Shi, then deputy director of the Fujian Appeasement Office, to Taiwan, and organizationally stated that if he felt dangerous and unsure, he could stay on the mainland.

General Wu Shi said: "I have done too little for the people, and personal risk is nothing. ”

In this way, General Wu Shi crossed the strait and continued to pass on intelligence to the People's Liberation Army in the midst of the white terror of the Kuomintang, until Cai Xiaoqian was arrested.

"Wu Shi Case"

After Cai Xiaoqian's arrest, the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau found two telephone numbers in his home, one of which was called "Miss Zhu." This "Miss Zhu", whose real name is Zhu Feng, was born in Zhenhai, Zhejiang Province, and is also an underground worker sent to Taiwan by the organization, and her sister and brother-in-law are working in the Kuomintang organs.

Upon learning of Cai Xiaoqian's arrest, Zhu Feng immediately flew to Zhoushan with a "special pass" to take shelter, but was arrested two weeks later under the overwhelming search of the Kuomintang. Mao Renfeng realized that the person who could issue a "special pass" for Zhu Feng must not be an ordinary person.

Immediately afterward, Mao Renfeng found a list in Cai Xiaoqian's briefcase that read "Vice Chief Wu," who was the then deputy chief of staff of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense, General Wu Shi.

After consulting Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Renfeng ordered the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau to arrest Wu Shi, along with Chen Baocang, commander of the Fourth Military Station of the Kuomintang Military Joint Logistics Headquarters, and Nie Xi, Wu Shi's aide-de-camp. In prison, they were all severely tortured, blinding General Wu Shi in one eye, and Zhu Feng attempted to commit suicide by swallowing gold and was rushed to the hospital by the Kuomintang.

At 4 p.m. on June 10, 1950, the Taiwan Military Special Court held a hearing on the "Wu Shi case," and the presiding judge, Jiang Dingwen, finally announced that Wu Shi, Zhu Feng, Chen Baocang, and Nie Xi were executed.

At 4:30 a.m., the four were taken to the Taipei BabaChi Execution Ground and generously and righteously. Just before the uprising, Zhu Feng shouted," Long live the Communist Party of China! General Wu Shi left a desperate poem, the last two sentences of which are: "Fifty-seven years in a dream, fame and career are always empty." With the heart of the general, Izumi sent a messenger to me. ”

After the defection, Cai Xiaoqian joined the Kuomintang and served as a member of the Design Committee of the Secrecy Bureau and deputy director of the "Ministry of National Defense BanditRy Research Office".
