In 1947, when the Liberation War was in full swing, a knock on the door suddenly sounded from a farmer's house in Yanggu County, Shandong Province. A gray-haired woman in her late teens hurried over to open the door, only to see an unkempt beggar standing outside the door. At this time, the situation was difficult, and it was difficult for a woman with a child to gain a foothold in this troubled world, but looking at the beggar's emaciated appearance, she still couldn't bear it, and said: "You wait here, I'll give you those food, and you can leave as soon as possible after eating." Just as she turned to go back to her room, the beggar suddenly said, "Yuling, I'm not asking for food. Hearing this familiar voice, the woman's heart trembled, and she suddenly stopped, turned to look at the beggar in disbelief: "Zidong, is it you?"The beggar nodded slowly, Wang Yuling suddenly burst into tears, 14 years, a full 14 years have passed, she thought that her husband Han Zidong had already died in the hands of the enemy, but she didn't expect that one day, the two would meet in such a form. Wang Yuling hurriedly walked over, pulled her husband into the room, and prepared to fetch water to bathe him. At this moment, their daughter came out of the room, looked at the man in front of her, and asked blankly, "Who are you?"Han Zidong looked at his daughter, who had grown up, and his heart was even more excited, no one knew what kind of torture he had suffered during the years he had been arrested, and how he pretended to be crazy and stupid, in order to be able to complete the tasks of the party organization, and by the way, look at his wife and children. But he was worried that the child did not know him, so he cautiously said, "Son, I am your father!""You lied, my mother told me that my father had died a long time ago!The little girl's face was full of disbelief. Looking at his daughter's look of disbelief, Han Zidong talked about what happened to him in the past 14 years. 
Han Zidong joined the Kuomintang under the revolutionary torrent in 1926, and his idea at that time was very simple, that is, to do his part to change the cannibalistic world. Therefore, after participating in the revolution, Han Zidong often participated in the workers' and peasants' revolutionary movement and actively participated in the activities of the formation of party organizations. However, the "April 12 Coup" in 1927 caught Han Zidong a little off guard, and under the instructions of Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang began to capture the Communists on a large scale, and once caught, they were either killed on the spot, or brought back to be tortured in order to get more information about the whereabouts of the Communists. For a time, everyone in the party was in danger, but at that time, Han Zidong was soft-spoken, even if he thought that such an approach was wrong, he had no ability to stop the development of the Kuomintang at all, and could only try his best to do his part, that is, the revolution. But in the middle of the game, how can you be alone?
Soon after, Han Zidong received a task assigned by his superiors to go to Zichuan Luda Coal Mine to organize a trade union work, and at the same time monitor a person named Zhou Yuebo, and if he found that his behavior was abnormal, he should report it immediately. Han Zidong's heart was full of entanglement, he didn't want to point the finger at his own people, so he wanted to quit the job, but if he just said it, someone would put the name of a traitor on his head. Han Zidong had no choice but to accept this task. However, after arriving at the mining area and contacting Zhou Yuebo, Han Zidong realized that Zhou Yuebo was by no means a "bad guy" in the mouth of the Kuomintang, but a leader who could consider problems from the standpoint of workers and sincerely consider problems for the broad masses of workers. As long as the workers on the construction site encounter difficulties, Zhou Yuebo will lend a helping hand as soon as possible, even if there is a conflict between the workers and the superiors, Zhou Yuebo will firmly stand on the side of the workers and consider the lives of the workers after understanding the cause of the matter. As an ordinary farmer, Han Zidong was also infected by Zhou Yuebo's spirit and ideas, and unconsciously turned his focus to his side. 
In order to prevent Han Zidong from being "led astray" by Zhou Yuebo, the Kuomintang immediately recalled him and planned to send him to study abroad, and then return to China to serve the Kuomintang again after completing his studies, after all, Han Zidong's ability to do things is still quite recognized in the Kuomintang. However, under the influence of Zhou Yuebo, Han Zidong gradually realized that the Kuomintang had already deviated from the Three People's Principles he followed, so he immediately rejected the Kuomintang's arrangement. At this time, it was a "sensitive period" for the Kuomintang, and Han Zidong's actions naturally aroused the suspicion of the Kuomintang, and Han Zidong's superiors were worried that he would "defect", so they arbitrarily placed a charge and sent people to the mining area to deal with Han Zidong. Han Zidong is relatively popular in the mining area, so he got the news early and hurriedly packed his luggage and went back to his hometown. But it is not a way to hide like this after all, as long as the Kuomintang does not give up, sooner or later it will find his home. Han Zidong looked at his wife Wang Yuling, and said to her very reluctantly: "I can't bother you, now I have to leave as soon as possible to ensure your safety, and if someone comes in the future, you can bite me if you don't know me." ”
After the husband and wife said goodbye, Han Zidong ran directly to Beiping with simple luggage and entered a private middle school in Beiping to continue his studies. After learning about Han Zidong's experience, Hao Renfu, the principal of the school, was also very sympathetic to his ideals and suffering, so he specially placed him in the Department of Economics of China University, and also introduced him to a job in the school, so that he could ensure his basic life. When he was working in the bookstore, Han Zidong was fortunate to come into contact with people from all walks of life, among whom a person named Zhou Yi left a very deep impression on him, and later he learned that Zhou Yi was actually a member of the Communist Party, so under the inspiration of Zhou Yi, Han Zidong joined the Communist Party and became a formal party member. The day he joined the Communist Party was also the most important day in Han Zidong's life, and he said to Zhou Yi personally: "I feel as if I am close to the sun, found the light, and embarked on a right path." ”
Later, Han Zidong's bookstore became their contact point, and under the instructions of the party organization, Han Zidong completed the tasks assigned by the party organization again and again, and at the same time attracted more members to join the Communist Party and shine for the party's revolutionary cause. Slowly, Han Zidong felt that the efficiency of obtaining the intelligence of the Kuomintang was too slow, so he had a bold idea, and he entered a secret service agency called the "Blue Coat Society" at that time, the main job of this agency was to collect intelligence, but because the Blue Coat Society was based on small groups, except for his own group members, Han Zidong had almost no contact with people from the outside world. Therefore, Han Zidong began to win over some Kuomintang people and let them join the Blue Coat Society, so that Han Zidong could obtain important information within the Kuomintang more quickly through these Kuomintang people. But the news leaked for a long time was bound to attract the attention of others, and soon, some people who were friends with Han Zidong discovered Han Zidong's abnormality. With keen intuition, Han Zidong realized that he was likely to have revealed his identity, and hurriedly packed his luggage and rushed back to Beiping, but he was not so lucky this time, and under the report of the members of the Blue Coat Society, Han Zidong's whereabouts were soon discovered by the Kuomintang and arrested in the Kuomintang prison. 
Fortunately, at that time, the underground members of our party were basically one-line contacts, so the Kuomintang did not have any substantive evidence of the Communist Party at the time of Han Zidong, so they could only use torture and torture to make Han Zidong admit his true identity. In prison, Han Zidong almost experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, and all kinds of torture instruments were walked through him, and soon he became a bloody man, but he still didn't say half a word, and he kept silent about our party's secrets, and swore not to say anything. Later, because of the severe beating, Han Zidong's heartbeat had stopped, and the Kuomintang spies were worried that they would be responsible, so they begged the doctor to rescue him. During this period, Han Zidong went through many prisons, and he was also detained by Luo Shiwen, another comrade of our party, Yang Hucheng's secretary Song Qiyun and his wife, and their 5-year-old child, and the prison environment was extremely bad, so that the children of Song Qiyun and his wife were unable to walk until they were 5 years old, which was really distressing to watch. They cheered each other on in prison, and only then did they survive the torture of the Kuomintang again and again. However, after being transferred to the Bai Mansion, Comrade Luo Shiwen was ruthlessly killed by the Kuomintang, Han Zidong was very sad in his heart, he hated these Kuomintang spies, and he was angry that he could only watch his comrades being killed at this time but could not do anything. 
The environment in the prison was originally extremely poor, because he did not see the light of day all year round, so it was very cold and damp, and under the combination of grief and anger, Han Zidong's health deteriorated, and over time, he was naturally sick and painful. If he didn't go out again, Han Zidong thought that even if he escaped the guns of the Kuomintang, he would probably not be able to escape the illness, so he was ready to sacrifice early. But at this time, Han Zidong suddenly received the task of the organization conveyed by Xu Xiaoxuan, the head of the Bai Mansion branch, that is, to let Han Zidong do whatever it takes to prepare to escape from prison alone. Han Zidong originally hoped to have the best of both worlds and let all the comrades in prison go out together, but after Luo Shiwen's sacrifice, Han Zidong realized that this was almost an impossible thing, and the current situation is just as Luo Shiwen said, if you can leave one person, you can reduce the party's losses. Therefore, Han Zidong no longer hesitated and immediately began to plan a prison escape plan. If he wants to successfully complete the prison escape, the first thing Han Zidong has to do is to save his physical strength, but suddenly exercising his body will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Kuomintang, so Han Zidong thought of a way, that is, to pretend to be crazy and stupid. 
In order to exercise, he often ran out alone crying and laughing, running shirtless in the sun, or running out in the rain with crazy screams. The person in charge of the prison didn't care, they only thought that Han Zidong had gone crazy because he had been imprisoned for a long time, and they often used Han Zidong's behavior as a joke. In the training day after day, Han Zidong's body gradually began to improve, and at the same time, the long-term pretending to be crazy and stupid has confused the enemy's sight, and now except for those comrades in the party, everyone thinks that he has gone crazy and become a waste. It's just that if you want to escape smoothly, you still need to wait for a suitable time. One day, Han Zidong finally waited for such an opportunity, he gathered all his comrades, asked them to choose some things that could not be bought in prison, and then waited for the opportunity to have a "quarrel" with them. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Director Yang Qiushan to rush over because of the movement here: "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about?"If you don't have something, just let the old madman buy it tomorrow. After saying that, he turned to the other person and said, "You take him to Ciqikou tomorrow to buy something." It turned out that Han Zidong was relatively taciturn, unfamiliar with the situation in Chongqing, and his mental condition was not very good, so he was selected as one of the procurement personnel, and Han Zidong also thought that only when he was purchasing, he would have a chance to escape. 
The next day, Han Zidong hid the clothes given to him by Song Qiyun in the innermost part of the dirty clothes, and then took a machete and followed Lu Wanqiu out, and it didn't take long for them to rush to Ciqikou Market. Just as they were about to buy, Lu Wanqiu unexpectedly met an acquaintance, the two laughed and walked home, ready to catch up, in order to prevent Han Zidong from escaping, they specially found a policeman to watch Han Zidong. Han Zidong saw the opportunity, and while Lu Wanqiu was playing cards, Han Zidong asked the policeman, "Big brother, do you have watermelons here?"It was just too hot. "No watermelons. When Han Zidong heard this, he immediately took out a handful of money and put it in the hands of the police: "Big brother, you are familiar with this place, please go buy some watermelons and come back to quench your thirst." As soon as the policeman saw so much money, his eyes lit up, and he thought that after buying watermelons, there might be a little money left, so he immediately took it and went out. 
Han Zidong saw that the time had come, pretended to go to the yard, and immediately shook his hat and walked out slowly. Seeing that Lu Wanqiu hadn't noticed him yet, Han Zidong turned left and right, and finally came to the nearby riverside. Seeing that the river was rolling at this time, and there was no boat to ferry, Han Zidong was a little anxious, if he couldn't find the ferry owner in a short time, it was very likely that his escape would be discovered by Lu Wanqiu and others. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly saw a boatman, who had said all his good words and a large amount of money, and crossed the river smoothly. Han Zidong, who escaped the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief, and after that, he traveled for 45 days before finally returning to his hometown in Shandong and seeing his wife and children who he had missed for a long time. It's just that 14 years have passed at this time, and even his children haven't been able to recognize him, Han Zidong bothered to explain, and the family hugged each other and cried bitterly. Soon after, Han Zidong returned to the ranks of the party organization and devoted himself to the revolutionary road, and he became the only Communist Party member who escaped from the White Mansion. The past 14 years have been a lifetime of grief in Han Zidong's heart, and at the same time, they are also regrettable losses in the revolutionary process of our party.
