As early as 1975, China had deeply reformed many Japanese war criminals and Kuomintang war criminals, and granted amnesty six times before and after. The amnesty in 1975 was also the last amnesty for rehabilitated war criminals after the founding of the People's Republic of China. With the exception of a very small number of diehards, almost all those who remained in the camp at that time were released. 
The first amnesty was granted in 1959, when war criminals and convicts in the closed correctional facilities were granted the first amnesty, and for the first time in our country, prisoners who had behaved well after a certain period of rehabilitation were released. These included Kuomintang war criminals, puppet Manchukuo war criminals, and general criminals. The amnesty freed 33 war criminals and 12,082 criminal offenders. 
The second amnesty was granted in 1960, and the second amnesty was less than a year apart from the first amnesty, indicating that the rehabilitation of these amnesty recipients was in good condition. A total of 50 Kuomintang and puppet Manchukuo war criminals were released in this amnesty. 
The third amnesty, in 1961 and again only a year later, shows that our country has achieved remarkable results in the rehabilitation of war criminals and in their self-rehabilitation education. A total of 68 Kuomintang and puppet Manchukuo war criminals were released in this amnesty. 
The fourth amnesty was in 1963, two years after the last amnesty, and this amnesty not only included Kuomintang war criminals and puppet Manchukuo war criminals, but also joined the war criminals of the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang Autonomous **. A total of 35 people who have indeed changed their ways have been released in this amnesty. 
The fifth amnesty was in 1964, and only a year later, China again issued the fifth amnesty to war criminals of the Kuomintang, the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang Autonomous **, and released a total of 53 people who had indeed improved and behaved well during the reform period. The sixth amnesty was in 1965, which was the last conditional amnesty, and the main targets were still war criminals of the Kuomintang, the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang Autonomous **, and a total of 57 reformed personnel were released this time. 
The first six amnesties were all based on the premise that war criminals who "have indeed changed their evil and turned from good", and the time interval was not long, from 1959 to 1965, only six years, and most of the war criminals have been released in China. However, when the war criminals thought the next amnesty was coming, they waited for a full decade, until 1975. 
Liu Zhenxiang made great achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which is admirable. Because of his name, Chiang Kai-shek sent him to Hunan in 1937 to fight in the war. In 1942, the Second Regiment of a division led by Liu Zhenxiang defeated the Japanese army in Lubao Town, Qingyuan, Guangdong, forming the legend of "Liu Zhenxiang's Lubao Dwarf Regiment won the first battle of resistance against Japan in Guangdong". Subsequently, Liu Zhenxiang led the army to win five consecutive battles in Nanning, Guangxi. 
In 1948, the Battle of Huaihai broke out, and the Kuomintang was quickly defeated, but Liu Zhenxiang's 64th Army performed extremely strong. On November 22, Huang Botao committed suicide after saying his last words to Liu Zhenxiang, and at the same time, Liu Zhenxiang, who was preparing to fight to the death, was captured. Subsequently, he remained imprisoned in the Gongdelin War Prisoners Correctional Facility in Beijing until 1975, when he was unconditionally pardoned at the age of 69. After being released from prison, he served as a member of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and in his later years, Liu Zhenxiang did a lot of work for the reunification of the motherland. In 1986, Liu Zhenxiang died of illness at the age of 80.
Compared with Liu Zhenxiang, Huang Wei is slightly more famous, and he is a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, and has experienced the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Burma. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, he also made great achievements, the "Battle of Luodian" in the Battle of Songhu made him famous, and the Battle of Luodian was called "Flesh Mill" because of the heavy battle. 
In the Huaihai Campaign, Huang Wei was sent to lead the 12th Corps. In only 5 days, from November 20 to 25, our army surrounded Huang Wei's troops. By December 15, Huang Wei's corps was completely annihilated, only the deputy commander Hu Lian was spared, and Huang Wei was captured as a commander and sent to the Gongdelin War Criminals Correctional Center. During the transformation there, he also completely ** the four types of tuberculosis in his body. Until 1975, Huang Wei was 71 years old. Later, he served as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and devoted himself to the study of the military history of the National Revolutionary Army. On March 20, 1989, he died of a heart attack in Beijing at the age of 85. 
Compared with Huang Wei and Liu Zhenxiang, ** is younger and the longest-lived of them. As a graduate of the fourth phase of Whampoa, he is in the same class as Zhou Enshou, the younger brother of the prime minister. He participated in the Northern Expedition and the Nanchang Uprising, and was a revolutionary senior. However, he then left our party, switched to the Kuomintang, and joined the Kuomintang military command.
* Also made an active contribution during the Sino-Japanese War. He was captured by our army during the Battle of Huaihai and imprisoned in the Gongdelin War Criminals Prison. By 1975, ** was 68 years old and released by unconditional amnesty. After the amnesty, he honorably served as a full-time member of the Committee for the Study of Cultural and Historical Materials of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and made contributions to promoting cross-strait reunification.
From the first amnesty for war criminals in 1959 to the last amnesty in 1975, a total of 554 Kuomintang war criminals were pardoned, including more than 200 high-ranking generals. It is almost unimaginable for them to be able to regain their freedom and restore equal citizenship after the end of the war. However, after the amnesty was granted, suitable work arrangements were also made for war criminals who were still young and able to work. As for the trajectory of their lives after the amnesty, ** also fully respected their own choices.
