Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-19

In 1951, a spy named Huang Maocai was put on trial, and it was confirmed that he may be one of the real murderers of Sister Jiang, so he was sentenced to death. However, in court, Huang Maocai claimed that he had been wronged, but because the fact that he was a spy could not be denied, the death sentence quickly took effect. In a hurry, Huang Maocai suddenly shouted loudly: "I'm not **!."I have done something for Sister Jiang!”。This sentence surprised the people present, because how could there be a spy doing things for Sister Jiang?But Huang Maocai recounted the details of the year in detail, which made people believe it a little. In the end, after deliberation, the court changed Huang Maocai's death sentence to a labor reform. So, what did Huang Maocai say?Is what he said true?

It all started in May 1948, when Huang Maocai, a farmer from Rong County, Sichuan, came to Chongqing in the hope of finding a job to support his family. He had been in school for two years, was slightly educated, tall and strong, hardworking and hardworking, and soon his fellow villagers introduced him to a job - to be a guard in the scum cave, in other words, to become a spy. However, Huang Maocai didn't think too much about it at that time, for an ordinary person, as long as he didn't starve, it was very good, and he would care if he was a spy?At that time, there were many prisoners in the scum cave, and Huang Maocai's boss told him that these people were political prisoners and their crimes were unforgivable. But after Huang Maocai stayed for a while, he began to doubt this statement.

The prisoners here seemed to be good people, and Huang Maocai felt sympathy for them in his heart. Although he was powerless as a guard, he never bullied the prisoners, and occasionally helped them deliver food and medicine. A month later, a new prisoner came to the scum cave, named Zeng Zixia. Huang Mao was very surprised when he saw her, because her father was the national **, and she and Huang Mao were fellow countrymen, so Huang Mao knew that she was a daughter. Huang Maocai never expected that even a daughter with a worry-free life would choose to make a revolution. Huang Maocai's heart was full of guilt, because others fought for revolution in order to help the poor people, even at the risk of their lives, while he himself was a spy here.

Sister Jiang and Jiang Zhuyun were also imprisoned in the scum cave in the end, and they, like Zeng Zixia, discovered the special features of Huang Maocai. Although Huang Maocai has the identity of a spy, he is actually a kind-hearted person. They regarded Huang Maocai as an object of solidarity, and often talked and exchanged hearts with him. During these conversations, Huang Mao learned a lot about what they had done before, and he was deeply affected. What touched Huang Maocai even more was that although these revolutionaries were trapped in prison, they still tried to help the poor people in their predicament. Once, Huang Maocai's mother was sick, and when Sister Jiang and others learned about it, they immediately raised money in prison, and gave Huang Maocai the only few watches and pens they had on them, so that he could sell them to ** his mother's illness.

Huang Maocai was deeply moved and said to Sister Jiang: "If you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best!"One day in 1949, Huang Maocai brought a newspaper, which made the revolutionaries in the scum cave very excited, and it turned out that the newspaper of that day announced the founding of New China. This is what the revolutionaries have been looking forward to. Huang Maocai was also happy for them, but soon he began to worry again, and although New China had been founded, Chongqing had not yet been liberated. Considering the ruthlessness of the spies, the eve of the liberation of Chongqing must have been the day of the revolutionaries' sacrifice. Huang Maocai was uneasy, but at this critical moment, Huang Maocai's mother fell ill. As the eldest son in the family, his mother was seriously ill, and Huang Mao had to go home to take care of her.

Sister Jiang asked him to take care of his mother first, and talk about other things later. Huang Maocai went home hesitantly, he didn't expect that in the two weeks he left, Sister Jiang and the others were brutally killed by the enemy. The result is flawless white. After Huang Maocai came back, he looked at the empty cell and felt very sad. He had been with these revolutionaries for more than a year and had long regarded them as his friends and comrades. But now that they were gone, there was nothing he could do. But there is still one last chance, and the surviving revolutionaries in the scum cave hand a letter to Huang Maocai, telling him to leave the city quickly and take the letter out, and maybe find an organization to rescue him.

In the end, the letter brought out by Huang Maocai made the organization understand the situation in the scum cave, and finally rescued some of the imprisoned comrades at a critical moment. On the day of the liberation of Chongqing in 1949, Huang Maocai said goodbye to everyone and felt guilty. Although the organization originally planned to arrange for him to work, he knew that the tragedy in the scum cave made self-blame haunt him. Therefore, he decided to return to his hometown to work as a farmer and no longer ask about the world. However, not long after he returned to his hometown, the identity of the spy work he had worked in the past was revealed, and what shocked him even more was that he was accused of killing Sister Jiang's **. This made Huang Maocai feel wronged, how could he bear the responsibility of killing Sister Jiang?Sadly, when he left, he did not take anything with him that would prove his revolutionary identity.

As a result, Huang Mao was forced to go to the countryside for reform, and he was not released until 1964. Subsequently, he was appointed as a member of the CPPCC by the local government and enjoyed state subsidies. From time to time, he would visit the Martyrs' Cemetery, where his like-minded people were buried.
