One day in 1984, in an ordinary old mansion in Beijing's Xicheng District, a meeting to determine the fate of the family was beginning, and it was their elderly mother who presided over the meeting, although on the surface, the old woman was an ordinary cleaner, full of white hair, calluses, hunched over, but what no one knew was that her assets were as high as more than 3 billion yuan.
Renminbi
This is in the 1980s, the monthly wages of ordinary workers were only more than 100 yuan, and the GDP of the whole of Beijing was only more than 20 billion yuan, and an ordinary sweeping mother could have billions of assets, which was really incredible, but even more incredible was still to come.
Only to hear the old woman say, "I summoned everyone here today to inform you that I have decided to donate eighty percent of the money to the country!" ”
Children have you looked at me and I look at you, no one knows what to say, after all, in the face of great wealth, it is the most testing time for human nature, and no one may be able to make a decision happily.
Zhao Biyan and her son
After a moment, the old woman's eldest son broke this tranquility and said, "Mom, I support you, and I should atone for my father's sins!" ”
After the son finished speaking, everyone nodded their heads, indicating that they agreed with the decision of their mother and eldest brother.
Under the support of the eldest son, the old man trembled and found the relevant departments, saying that he wanted to donate 2.4 billion yuan to the state, the staff heard the news, immediately called the leader of the unit, after the leader learned about the purpose of the old man, hurriedly continued to report upwards. Because everyone didn't believe that the money belonged to the cleaner in front of him.
Speaking of this, everyone can't help but wonder, who is this old woman? Why is she sitting on such a huge asset? And why did she donate so much money to the country? What does her son say about atonement for his father's sins?
Zhao Xinbo and ups and downs
All of this has to start from that turbulent era.
The old lady, formerly known as Geng Weifu, was born in the early days of the Republic of China, her family was well-off since childhood, her father was a famous businessman in Shenyang, if it has been smooth, she may become an excellent young woman or businesswoman, with a life that everyone envies.
But no one expected that a marriage notice completely changed the life of this young girl, that is, when she was a teenager, by chance, she saw the photo of her classmate's brother, and since then she has fallen in love and has been out of control. Later, the two met for the first time through this classmate, and this man was also his later husband, Zhao Xinbo.
Zhao Xinbo
This Zhao Xinbo is not an ordinary person, the huge assets donated are his, and his deeds will be put to the back, first talk about his life.
Zhao Xinbo, formerly known as Zhao Xinbai, a native of Wanping, Hebei Province, was born in 1890, his family is similar to Geng Weifu's family, very rich, his ancestors have been in business for generations, and the main silk business.
It can be said that Zhao Xinbo grew up with a golden key from childhood, but he did not think of making progress every day like other stupid children, on the contrary, Zhao Xinbo studied very hard, and went to Japan to study at the age of 25, successively studying law at Meiji University and Tokyo Imperial University in Japan. If it goes well, he could become a good jurist.
But Zhao Xinbo did not care about these degrees at all, on the contrary, he paid more attention to fame and profit, and it was precisely because of the years of studying in Japan that he completely went to a road of no return, and also laid the foundation for him to be spurned by the world in the later period.
In 1926, Zhao Xinbo, dressed in a military uniform, flew from Japan to the northeast, and after being introduced by the Japanese legation in China, he successfully joined the Kuomintang and sat in the position of legal adviser to the three eastern provinces. It was also at this time that he met Geng Weifu through his sister, the old woman at the beginning of the article.
In fact, Zhao Xinbo is a second marriage, his first wife named Wang Biyan, is a famous local Qinglou woman, but Zhao Xinbo did not dislike at all, on the contrary, the two are very affectionate, Wang Biyan also conceived a child for Zhao Xinbo, but just when the child was about to give birth, Wang Biyan died in the hospital bed.
Because of his thoughts of his ex-wife, he made two demands on Geng Weifu, one. If she gets married she must change her surname to Zhao, two. She was going to change her name to Bi Yan, which was also the name of his ex-wife.
Wang Biyan
If we were today, I don't think anyone would agree to this kind of mysterious operation. But perhaps due to the reasons of the times, Geng Weifu naively agreed to all the requests of Zhao Xinbo. Since then, there has been no Geng Weifu in the world, only Zhao Biyan.
So how did this Zhao Biyan step by step become a cleaner? And how did Zhao Xinbo have huge assets?
As we mentioned earlier, Zhao Xinbo studied in Japan for ten years, during which he became acquainted with two Japanese officers, Kenji Doihara and Seishiro Sakagaki, both of whom were well-known imperialists and were very good at brainwashing.
Puppet Manchukuo
As for the extent, we continue to look down, with the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Japan began to establish colonies in the northeast, and at this time a person proposed the establishment of a puppet Manchukuo to re-promote the emperor Puyi of the late Qing Dynasty to the throne, and that person was Zhao Xinbo, and his purpose in doing so was actually very simple, that is, to express his loyalty to the Japanese.
After Puyi ascended to the throne, Zhao Xinbo's status also rose, and he successively became the pseudo-mayor of Shenyang and the president of the Legislative Yuan. And these positions not only gave him a name, but also brought him benefits.
He took advantage of his position to constantly squeeze the common people and local enterprises, and when these exploitations were over, he extended his evil hands into the pharmaceutical industry, knowing that at that time, our country was in a turbulent era.
Poor people
Warlords everywhere have been fighting for many years, causing the lives of the people to be miserable, not to mention money in their hands, even food and clothing can not be solved, once they have a serious illness, they are basically sentenced to death. At this time, to exploit money from drugs is really a human being.
With more and more money, Zhao Xinbo is more arrogant and arrogant, and even once regarded himself as a Japanese, but unfortunately the traitor is only a traitor after all, never on the table, the Japanese will not value you because of your loyalty, on the contrary, just use you, history has taught us many times, only if you are strong, you can make your enemies fear you.
After the situation in the northeast gradually improved, the Kwantung Army officially aimed the butcher knife at Zhao Xinbo, not only confiscated a lot of his assets, but also removed him from his post, and finally sent him to Japan for a business trip, in fact, the purpose of the Kwantung Army was also very simple, that is, to kill chickens and monkeys, so that the rest of the traitors could be safe.
Frustration in the political arena did not crush the ambitious Zhao Xinbo, when he came to Japan with his wife Zhao Biyan, he discovered the investment value of Japanese real estate, so he began to use the private funds to buy real estate, and then he thought that it was not enough to buy a house, but also to buy some items that could be realized at any time, so he began to buy a large amount of gold and silver jewelry.
Behind such a huge amount of assets, he did an unexpected thing, he put all the real estate under Zhao Biyan's name, and the specific reason is not well understood.
Gold and silver jewelry
Some say that it is because he saw the change in the trend of national anti-Japanese resistance and was afraid that he would be liquidated due to rebellion, and some said that he was compensating Zhao Biyan, and this is impossible to know.
Zhao Xinbo after five years in Japan, found that these properties did not significantly increase in value, and the cash in his hands gradually revealed, and then he returned to China with his wife and children, although at this time the domestic anti-Japanese enthusiasm reached an unprecedented high point, but Zhao Xinbo still chose to work in the puppet government and continue to assist the Japanese, at this time he may still be fantasizing about Japan's victory, fantasizing about one day being rich and wealthy.
But it all ended in 1945, when Japan was defeated on a letter of surrender, and Zhao Xinbo was also imprisoned in Beiping Prison on charges of treason and treason, and during his service, he still did not repent, hoping that the Japanese would come back and rescue him from the cage.
Japan surrendered
However, he did not wait for the rescue, but waited for the notice of the death penalty, and only then did he wake up like a dream, it turned out that he had done so many wrong things, and finally before he could be executed, he rushed to attack his heart and died suddenly in prison.
After Zhao Xinbo's death, Zhao Biyan finally understood how stupid and wrong the choice he had made was. So in order not to be implicated, she changed her surname without authorization and named geng Biyan.
Then she took her family to Beijing, and not only that, she also burned everything that Zhao Xinbo left behind, including dozens of Japanese land titles.
this
Burner
When she went directly from a broad lady to an ordinary old woman, in order to survive as a family, she had to find a job sweeping the street, which was several years, and just when she thought that the storm was outdated, suddenly someone knocked on their door.
It was in the early 1960s, as the war went out, Japanese real estate began to increase in value, and some people who knew zhao Xinbo's deeds started the idea of these properties, so they forged documents to try to inherit these assets, and for a time a lot of Zhao Biyan poured out of Southeast Asia. When our country learned of this, it also began to intervene in the investigation, after all, this is not a small amount.
Zhao Biyan fought a lawsuit
Although Zhao Biyan himself was finally found with the efforts of the relevant departments, the lawsuit was still blocked by many people, and lasted until 1984, with the unremitting efforts of Liao Chengzhi, director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, and all the staff, and finally won this victory.
After receiving this huge amount of money, Zhao Biyan was uneasy and difficult to sleep every day, because the money had come from an unknown source, plus she could not have won this victory without the help of the state.
So after much deliberation, Zhao Biyan made a bold decision to donate 80% of it to the state as a way to atone for her husband's sins.
Zhao Biyan donated
On the day of signing the donation agreement, the government's leaders repeatedly asked Zhao Biyan whether he had decided to donate 2.4 billion yuan, and Zhao Biyan nodded his head firmly, and said: "If there is no help from the state, a piece of money may not be returned, if I do not donate it, I will not be blinded!" ”
After donating this huge amount to the government, Zhao Biyan took 80 percent of the remaining money and donated it to the institutions and individuals who had helped her, leaving only a small part for her children.
In 1989, the elderly Zhao Biyan died of illness at the age of 89.
Before dying, her son asked her if she had left any regrets, and she smiled lightly and said, "I am content!" ”
Maybe this is life, money is something outside the body after all, life does not bring death, do not take it, must not be treacherous because of this!
