One night in February 1947, Chen Bui came to visit Plum Garden, which surprised his adjutant. As a loyal supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, it is incomprehensible why the "courageous" Chen Bui sought the help of the leaders of the opposing camps during the civil war. That night, Chen Bui and *** talked upstairs for more than two hours, and did not say goodbye until late at night. At the time of parting, ** was particularly reassuring: "I will deal with your affairs properly, please rest assured." See you soon!However, no one could have predicted at the time that this farewell would become a permanent message. That night, Chen Bui's adjutant expressed his doubts, but Chen Bui simply replied: "This time I came here is purely a private matter, not an official business." "So, what prompted Chen Bui to find ***?Chen Bui was a tragic literati who distinguished himself in the press in his early years.
After Chiang Kai-shek's victory in the Northern Expedition, he needed a competent civilian official to assist him, so he recruited Chen Bui under his command in 1927. After Chen Bui joined the Kuomintang, he not only served as a civilian official of Chiang Kai-shek, but also gave important support in government affairs, often providing advice and planning. During this period, Chen Bui played the role of a "dog-headed military advisor", and his views often caught the eye of Chiang Kai-shek. However, while assisting Chiang Kai-shek, he himself gradually became a degenerate. After Chiang Kai-shek became aware of Chen Bui's intelligence, he wrote all the important speeches, including the "Declaration of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" and famous sentences such as "There is no distinction between north and south, no one is old or young, and everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war." After becoming a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Bui lost the freedom to tell the truth, and everything he said and did must be in Chiang Kai-shek's interests and must act according to his wishes. Therefore, he wrote many ** speeches, weaving lies for Chiang Kai-shek.
With the support of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Bui gradually rose to the rank of "Minister of Military Aircraft" and rose to the top of the Kuomintang, growing in power and power, far beyond a simple "civilian official", and anyone had to give him enough respect. As a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Bui saw clearly the essence of Chiang Kai-shek's power tricks and cronyism, and also understood his way of life. In the face of Japanese aggression, Chiang Kai-shek still adhered to the position of civil war, which made Chen Bui realize the true nature of Chiang Kai-shek. Chen Bui had forbidden his children from political activities. However, to his pain, half of his children actually joined the Communist Party and stood on the opposite side of the Kuomintang. Chen Bui had eight children in his life, the first five of which were born to his first wife, Yang Pinxian, including three sons and two daughters. In 1919, after giving birth to her last daughter, Chen Lian, Yang Pinxian unfortunately suffered from puerperal fever and eventually died.
Chen Bui was deeply grieved, and even went insane at one point, and once blamed Chen Lian and threw him into the spittoon when he cried. Fortunately, Chen Lian's grandmother arrived in time to save her. After that, Chen Bui gradually came out of the shadows, formed a new family with Wang Yunmo, and gave birth to three children. In 1937, Chen Lian moved from Nanjing to Chongqing with her father, when she was studying at the No. 2 National High School, full of yearning for Marxism, and secretly joined the Communist Party of China. Soon after, Chen Lian was admitted to Southwest Associated University and began to participate in the secret activities of the party organization. In 1941, after the Southern Anhui Incident, Chen Lian and others posted the "The Truth About the Tragic Encirclement and Annihilation of the Southern Anhui Troops of the New Fourth Army" issued by the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China in the school to expose the truth. This attracted the attention of the Kuomintang agents, who began to search and arrest underground party members, but most of them learned in advance and managed to go into hiding.
After learning of the situation, Chen Bui was anxious and used the resources around him to find his daughter, but there was no result. Weng Zeyong reported the matter to **, and ** attached great importance to it after learning about it, and immediately ordered organizations at all levels to find Chen Lian's whereabouts. Although Chen Lian could not be found, Chen Bui was deeply grateful for his full help. The next year, Chen Lian took the initiative to return to the organization and returned to his father under the persuasion of ***. Chen Bui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter, and then asked Ye Gongchao to bail his son-in-law Yuan Yongxi out of prison. This was the first time Yuan Yongxi saw his father-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but Chen Bui knew how to deal with people, took the initiative to hand him a cigarette, and said softly: "Now that Li'er has returned to Cixi, after you have rested, go back too." I am now in the last years of my life, and I have no time to take care of myself, so I will leave the future to you. "Chen Bui has always been an important member of the core of the Kuomintang, and he has never sought personal gain.
There was a fierce factional struggle within the Kuomintang, but he remained loyal to Chiang Kai-shek. He was always quick to sort through complex and chaotic information when dealing with documents and present them to Chiang Kai-shek in a timely manner. He even went out of his way and threw himself into his work, without time to rest. However, it was surprising that such a loyal man was cornered by Chiang Kai-shek. When Chen Bui was looking for ***, it was to explain the future. After returning home, his secretary asked him about his true motives, and Chen Bui confessed that it was for the future of his daughter Chen Lian, so he turned to *** and hoped that the other party could take care of her. Half a year later, under Chen Bui's arrangement, Chen Lian and his wife returned to Nanjing to work with Chen Bui. One night in November 1948, Chen Bui visited Chiang Kai-shek who was sick, and he revealed his inner worries in the conversation. Chiang Kai-shek asked directly about Chen Bui's views on the current situation.
Chen Bui said without hesitation: "According to my humble opinion, I am afraid that the current battle situation cannot be sustained any longer. Chiang Kai-shek was furious and asked whether he should shake hands with the Communists and make peace. Chen Bui had to bite the bullet and finish. Chiang Kai-shek unceremoniously reprimanded him and sent him away. A week later, Chen Bui attended a meeting of the ** Political Committee, and he took the initiative to greet familiar people in a different way than usual. When reflecting on the failure of the Northeast at the meeting, Chen Bui suddenly said: "On paper!."Although the voice was not loud, it stunned everyone present, even Chiang Kai-shek. Then he said, "There will be no disapproval of the king's life outside!."This infuriated Chiang Kai-shek, and he roared: "Chen Bui, what are you doing?"
then reprimanded Chen Bui, and finally said: "The scholar misled the country, I saw the wrong person!".Chiang Kai-shek publicly condemned Chen Bui for the first time, a scene unprecedented in which Chen Bui seemed unconcerned. That night, he ordered his adjutant to declare that he was writing behind closed doors and did not want to see anyone. As he was leaving, he told me again: "Don't disturb me, let me be quiet." These were his last words to the world. Subsequently, he chose to end his own life.
