Pan Hannian has been imprisoned for 22 years, is he unjust?Why are you so angry with him?
In the revolutionary wave, the role of the hidden front has become more and more prominent, and a single piece of critical intelligence is often enough to determine the victory or defeat of the entire war. Therefore, in that era, the party organization has always given preferential treatment to those who have made outstanding contributions on the hidden front, as long as they have not committed a mistake of principle.
However, it is worth noting that in 1955, ** made this instruction to Pan Hannian, a veteran of the hidden front: "This person cannot be trusted from now on. ”
This has caused widespread concern, and people can't help but speculate about what exactly caused ***'s distrust of the patriarch. What kind of secret story is behind this instruction is worth pursuing in depth.
In 1943, when time went back to Shanghai, Pan Hannian was on a mysterious mission and met Li Shiqun, the intelligence leader under Wang Jingwei, and secretly collected intelligence together.
One day, Li Shiqun secretly talked about Pan Hannian and revealed that Wang Jingwei intended to meet him.
Pan Hannian is well aware of the risks and opportunities of this kind of work, the "opportunity" lies in contacting Wang Jingwei, which will help him obtain Japanese intelligence more deeply, and the "risk" lies in Wang Jingwei's special status, and meeting him may cause unavoidable trouble, and the consequences are unpredictable.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, Pan Hannian resolutely decided to go to the appointment.
In order to avoid potential trouble, Pan Hannian chose to act conservatively afterwards and did not report the incident to the organization, knowing that it violated organizational discipline.
Although this decision risked violating the rules, it may also bring new breakthroughs to the anti-Japanese work.
In March 1955, an emergency meeting was held to completely solve the problem of Gao Gang and Rao Shushi. In this context, many people who have been involved with these two have launched self-reflection and confessed their past problems.
** Call on participants at the meeting to encourage those who have historically had problems to actively confess to the organization and seek leniency. This becomes an opportunity for people to examine their past and take the initiative to explain their historical doubts.
Pan Hannian also participated in this meeting, and after returning to his hometown, he thought deeply about it and decided to reveal the incident of his meeting with Wang Jingwei in order to explain it to history. He found ** and honestly recounted the story.
* Shocked to hear this, both surprised that Pan Hannian still had such a historical problem, and surprised by his silence for many years. The severity of the problem has even exceeded previously anticipated, making the situation even more serious.
Pan Hannian himself was well aware of the seriousness of the problem, so he drafted a detailed explanatory material and asked ** to pass it on**.
*Feeling a great responsibility, he quickly submitted Pan Hannian's materials to ***
After reading the material, he was extremely angry and wrote on the document: "This person cannot be trusted. ”
That night, Pan Hannian** was investigated.
The investigation began with no mercy, and Pan Hannian was first sentenced to 15 years in prison, later commuted to life imprisonment, and expelled from the party forever. In the end, he died unjustly on April 14, 1977.
Many people felt that the punishment of Pan Hannian was too much, especially considering his important contributions to the party on the secret front during the revolutionary war years. The treatment of this revolutionary hero was seen as too harsh.
However, **'s instruction that "this person cannot be trusted from now on" is actually out of consideration for the overall situation.
It is worth noting that Pan Hannian is a key member of the covert front, and he shoulders the responsibility not only for personal life and death, but also for the life and death of countless members of the secret front.
Rise to the challenge, take on the mission, embrace the light, and face the darkness"- This is the basic creed of the members of the covert front. Because of the special nature of its work, nothing should be concealed from the party's uprightness. However, Pan Hannian chose to keep this secret for 12 years, which is obviously a serious violation of organizational discipline!
In order to maintain the seriousness of the party's discipline, it is particularly urgent to launch an investigation into Pan Hannian. The work of the covert front is intricate and full of deceit, so the organization has reason to wonder: Is there anything else that Pan Hannian has not explained to the organization?
However, history is impartial. On August 23, 1982, ** officially rehabilitated Pan Hannian, annitting: "According to the results of the review of Pan's case, ** solemnly declares to the whole party that it is wrong to designate Comrade Pan Hannian as a 'traitor' and arrest, sentence, and expel him from the party." This is a major unjust case since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it should be thoroughly corrected. ”
Looking back on this period of history, although we feel sorry for what happened to Pan Hannian, we should also learn from it. Since we have chosen to work for the party, we must strictly abide by the party's discipline and not conceal the facts for any reason. This is a responsibility that every communist should bear in mind.
