At the intersection of Qingdao Road in Poyang Street, Hankou, there is a beautiful Jingming building. Jingming Foreign Firm, a famous architectural design company in Hankou, has been operating here for many years and has designed dozens of beautiful buildings.
500 meters north along Poyang Street from Jingming Yanghang is the oldest and most famous apartment building in Hankou, Bagong House.
Bagong house people go to the empty building, can this life continue the unique style of the previous life? | the aftertaste of the afternoon
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, the people who live here are all rich and handsome and white rich and beautiful.
On August 7, 1948, the two famous old houses in Hankou were linked by an event that caused a sensation in the country.

Cao Xiuying, a veteran dancer in Hankou, lived in a Bagong house at the age of 32, and she also had a flower-like daughter named Cao Zhilan, who had just turned 15 years old. In August 1948, Cao Xiuying suddenly came to The house of Mr. Zhang, who lived in the same Bagong house, found Mrs. Zhang Guiying, who was usually acquainted, and invited her to attend a dance party at the Jingming Building on Saturday night of August 7.
At that time, Jingming Foreign Firm had stopped operating and left Hankou, jingming Foreign Firm was transformed into an apartment for foreigners, with exquisite housing quality, and a special Chinese and Western kitchen to provide delicious meals, which was a symbol of high-end life in Hankou.
Tan Guiying is also a dance fan, as soon as he heard that he could go to Jingming Foreign Firm to participate in the dance, he immediately became interested and planned to tell him the good news when her husband came home from work. But at this time, Cao Xiuying said that the dance party only invited women, not male family members.
Cao Xiuying was so strange that she felt that this dance party was a little weird. At this time, Cao Xiuying told her that it was said that the dance party was a dance held by a wealthy businessman in Hankou to celebrate the birthday, and there should be no problem in terms of safety. Besides, Cao Xiuying also plans to take her 15-year-old daughter Zhilan with her, how can her mother harm her daughter?
Tan Guiying thought it was right, so he made up his mind with Cao Xiuying. In addition, I made an appointment with Mrs. Yang and Miss Huang Ruyi, who lived in the Bagong house, and several others to go with them on the same day.

At about 8:00 p.m. on August 7, after having dinner at the Mei Yiqi Western Restaurant next to the Bagong House, the group of ladies and ladies got into the special car sent by the Jingming Building and turned around and set off for the Jingming Building.
When they arrived at the Jingming Building, they found that the venue was not generally lively, in addition to a few of them, there were many ladies and ladies in Hankou, Xiong Jie, Sally and a few others, adding up to a total of fifteen Chinese women. However, the male guests in the venue were all foreigners.
Why didn't a Chinese not see a Chinese at the birthday dance of the rich merchants in Hankou? At this time, they learned that it was not a "birthday celebration" ball at all, but the American manager of the American Mobil Company, Li Lei, who was going to transfer out of China to hold the dance.
Li Lei took a sum of money and gave it to Silafen and Krauss, Filipino practitioners at the Hankou entertainment venue, and Krauz asked his wife, Chinese Zhang Yueming to come over. Zhang Yueming was afraid that Chinese women would not want to come, so he made up lies that it was a rich businessman celebrating his birthday.
Although the fifteen Chinese women felt deceived, since they had already come, they were afraid of being rude to leave at this time. At 9:30, the dance party began. Xiong Jie took a sip of the cocktail handed to him by Liu Zhongquan, a Chinese slave in Li lei, feeling hot and weak, and knowing that his heart was not good, and sure enough, an hour later, some of the previously polite "foreign gentlemen" were revealed.

At this time, several foreign men began to be dishonest with their hands and feet, touching their chests and pinching their hips, and forcibly kissing their dance partners. Cao Xiuying was pressed to the ground by a foreigner and tore her underwear, and at this moment, the lights were also turned off.
Seeing that the situation was not good, 15 Chinese women ran to the elevator entrance, planning to take the elevator to leave. Who knows, the elevator has long been locked by Li Lei's slave Liu Zhongquan!
The ladies and ladies rushed to the fire ladder again, and Liu Zhongquan, who was mad and heartbroken, actually stood at the door of the fire ladder to ask for "tolls", and the helpless women had to tear off the valuable jewelry on their bodies and give it to Liu Zhongquan, begging him to let go of a way to live.
At this time, a kind Englishman escorted the three Chinese women downstairs to escape from the magic cave. Yu Hanchen, a Chinese chef at the Jingming Building, also escaped with several women from a small freight elevator carrying miscellaneous goods.
Unfortunately, three Chinese women were still unable to escape and were raped by several foreign animals. They are Tan Guiying, Xiong Jie and Sally. The most tragic Mrs. Zhang, Tan Guiying, was gang-raped, and the valuable jewelry on her body disappeared. After Mr. Zhang learned of the situation, he did not allow his wife to go home to live, and Mrs. Zhang could only live in her mother's house, washing her face with tears every day, and she was eager to die.

After Sally's friend coincidentally escaped from the Jingming Building, he rushed to Sally's house to tell Sally's mother, and the two went to the Hankou police station together to report the crime. The Hankou Police Department sent police officer Ma Buyun to the Jingming Building to investigate.
It was three o'clock in the morning of the 8th, and the cunning Li Lei did not allow Ma Buyun to enter the ballroom at first, but later let Officer Ma in, and said that the dance party had ended smoothly and nothing unpleasant had happened. Officer Ma only picked up a few cigarette butts stained with lipstick and a few shredded obscene pictures as physical evidence.
On the afternoon of the 8th, the "China Evening News" in Hankou first published the news "Jingming Building 'Crazy Dance' Case", kicking the matter out. Within days, the news spread across the country. Even Zhou Haili, Zhang Wenzheng, Liang Laifang, Jian Dezhi, and four other students of the Overseas Chinese Primary School in Makassar, Indonesia, wrote to the Hankou municipal government from afar to demand that the criminal suspects be severely punished. Kuomintang elder Kong Geng also wrote to the Hankou city government to inquire about the matter. (Look at the legend of Kong Geng clicking on the second-hand house to seep water and collapse in the heavy rain, and the inside actually rolled out one by one... |.) Afternoon aftertaste)
However, at that time, the judicial organs in Hankou failed to live up to the expectations of the citizens of Hankou and the people of the whole country. They relegated rape cases that should have fallen under the category of public prosecution to private prosecutions, arguing that no victims were suing, and delaying the investigation and trial of cases again and again.
After dragging on for more than half a year, on April 1, 1949, the Hankou court finally heard the case. As a result of the trial, Zhang Yueming and Cao Xiuying were sentenced to 3 years in prison and 1 year respectively for "inducing women from good families to commit adultery with others."
Silafen, the direct organizer of the dance, and Liu Zhongquan, who helped the foreign animals to mutilate their siblings for the tiger, had already fled Hankou and escaped with impunity, and several foreigners who raped them also retreated completely.
A month later, all three towns in Wuhan were liberated.
