In 1951, a nationwide campaign to purge the remnants of the Kuomintang reaction was launched.
Wang Huaqin, a teacher at Zhaohua Middle School in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, not only had the "bad deeds" of being a spy of the military command, but his father, Wang Lianshan, was also a big landowner, and was soon sentenced to be shot.
But just when Wang Huaqin was escorted to the execution ground and was about to be shot, Zhaohua County Prison suddenly received a letter from his superiors.
It was this letter that changed Wang Huaqin's fate, and in the end she was only sentenced to 3 years of supervision.
Who is Wang Huaqin? Who stepped forward and saved her from the execution ground?
Wang Huaqin, whose real name is Wang Zhao, was born in September 1914 in a wealthy landlord family in Guangyuan, Sichuan.
The Wang family was on the rich side of the local area, and his father, Wang Lianshan, was a well-known landowner who served as a quartermaster in the troops of the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang.
He not only owns farmland and factories in Sichuan, but also runs money banks in Chongqing and Shanghai.
Wang Huaqin has been smart since he was a child, and he never forgets to read.
At the age of five, he began to study in private school, and was later sent to Nanchong to study, and his grades have always been among the best.
After graduating from high school, she was admitted to National Jinan University in Shanghai, and then studied foreign languages at a church school for two years and became proficient in many Chinese.
In 1935, Wang Huaqin was sent by the National Government to study at Waseda University in Japan.
21-year-old Wang Huaqin is not only beautiful, but also trendy in thinking, and can be called a determined progressive youth.
In particular, during her study abroad experience, she continued to be influenced by new ideas.
Observing the development of Japan since the Meiji Restoration, she realized more deeply that only through reform can China's current backwardness be changed.
In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Wang Huaqin returned to his motherland with the staff of the Chinese Embassy in Japan and was appointed as the head teacher of the Chengdu Citizen Training School.
Back then, when Wang Huaqin's father Wang Lianshan was doing business in Nanchong, he met a businessman, Kang Yushan, and the two became brothers with different surnames.
When Wang Huaqin went to Nanchong to study, her father entrusted her to the care of Kang Yushan's family.
Because of this, she and Kang Yushan's sons Kang Nell and Kang Keming have known each other since childhood.
After graduating from junior high school, Wang Huaqin was admitted to Shanghai Zhengfeng High School.
At that time, Cornell also happened to be studying in Shanghai and took good care of her, and the two had a deep friendship.
During his studies at Sichuan University, Cornell joined the Chinese National Liberation Vanguard and became an important leading member of the People's Pioneers.
After that, Wang Huaqin also came to Chengdu to reunite with Cornell.
Influenced by Cornell, Wang Huaqin actively spread anti-Japanese ideas and raised funds to support refugees.
In that turbulent period, they contributed their strength to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In mid-August 1937, with the help of Cornell, Wang Huaqin successfully arrived in Yan'an and entered the Kangda Wayaobao branch to study.
In Yan'an, she met many like-minded classmates, and they studied and made progress together, which was a time full of happiness, warmth and enthusiasm in her life.
When Wang Huaqin graduated from Kang University, it was the second time of the KMT-CCP cooperation.
Yan Xishan asked the CCP to send a group of political workers to the Second War Zone to engage in propaganda work.
Wang Huaqin therefore went to Sun Lianzhong's 27th Division as a political instructor.
After Wang Huaqin joined the army, he founded a propaganda team.
She led the propaganda team and regularly went to the troops to perform and write war reports, aiming to stimulate the anti-Japanese enthusiasm and morale of the soldiers.
Her work had a positive impact on the troops, boosting the morale of the soldiers and injecting a strong impetus into the anti-Japanese struggle.
This also made the soldiers full of respect and gratitude for her, and they all affectionately called her "Instructor Wang".
In March 1938, after the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army gathered about 250,000 troops to encircle Xuzhou in order to quickly wipe out the main force of the squadron.
Wang Huaqin followed Sun Lianzhong's troops and evacuated Xuzhou all the way.
The troops had to march seventy or eighty miles every day, which was an unprecedented challenge for Wang Huaqin.
In the end, she was separated from the army and could only continue to follow the ordinary people, planning to return to Yan'an.
From Shandong to Xi'an, she walked on foot for more than a month on both legs.
But after arriving in Xi'an, she could not find the office of the Eighth Route Army.
Life is not familiar, and livelihood has become a problem, and Wang Huaqin was once in an embarrassment.
However, just when she was at a loss, she suddenly saw an enrollment advertisement for the "War Cadre Group".
The "War Cadre Regiment" was a military and political training institution established by the Kuomintang during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
During the training, trainees receive basic live-fire training, drills, and military courses on espionage and tactics.
But the agency also has a rule that all students must join the Kuomintang's Three Youth Leagues.
Desperate, Wang Huaqin tried to register in the "War Cadre Group", but he didn't expect to be admitted very smoothly.
Soon after, a major general commissioner of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau came to inspect the "War Cadre Regiment" and noticed Wang Huaqin's name on the list.
He didn't expect a young female college student to sign up, and he was both surprised and appreciative.
But considering Wang Huaqin's knowledge and cultural level, as well as her ability to speak many Chinese, he believes that if she can be sent to Chongqing, she will have more use and be able to play a greater role.
Therefore, the major general immediately wrote a notice introducing Wang Huaqin to work in the anti-Japanese base camp in Chongqing.
Since the Battle of Taierzhuang, Wang Huaqin has experienced the cruelty of the war and witnessed the tragic scene of the people being scattered and displaced in the flames of war. She herself was also displaced all the way, physically and mentally exhausted.
Now that she has the opportunity to return to her hometown in Sichuan, she is naturally happy to accept it and take a plane to Chongqing the next day.
However, at that time, she could not have predicted that this decision to go to Chongqing would change the trajectory of her life.
After arriving in Chongqing, Wang Huaqin engaged in cryptography research in the first department of the Military Command Bureau.
It was during this time that she reunited with Cornell, and the two were also very close.
In fact, Cornell had already joined the Chinese Communist Party as early as October 1937.
But because he has been secretly engaged in underground work, Wang Huaqin has never known his true situation.
After the national** moved into Chongqing, there was also an influx of thousands of refugees, resulting in a sharp increase in the population of Sichuan.
This has led to problems such as prices**, depreciation of paper money, and food shortages.
The Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Pearl River basin and other grain-producing areas were occupied by the Japanese army one after another, and the grain problem in Sichuan became more urgent.
In the spring of 1940, Chengdu had just suffered from a severe drought, and grain production had dropped sharply, resulting in a continuous increase in rice prices.
Under these circumstances, bureaucratic capitalists, politicians, and landlords also sent people to rush to buy grain, and hoarded it in large quantities, with the result that ordinary people could not buy enough rice even if they had money, causing a serious food shortage.
Three or four thousand hungry people could not bear the hunger and launched a smashing and looting operation against rice shops in the south of Chengdu.
The Kuomintang believed that Connell, then secretary of the student committee of the Chengdu Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, was the leader of the rice snatching incident.
As a result, the Kuomintang began a large-scale manhunt of the Communists.
One day in May, Cornell and several other Communists were meeting in a teahouse, using cards as a cover.
As everyone knows, this operation has been targeted by the military commander's spies.
At about five o'clock in the evening, Deng Mingjie, the secretary general of the Sichuan Provincial People's **, issued an order to arrest Cornell.
Zhou Weilong, the captain of the Chengdu Special Service Corps, personally led the team to carry out the task of capturing Cornell.
Wang Huaqin learned the news of the arrest at the meeting, and she was anxious and had to pass the news to Cornell as soon as possible.
However, the discipline of the Military Command Bureau forbade her to go out, and she was helpless for a while.
Just as the action team was about to set off, Wang Huaqin was in a hurry, and resolutely bit his tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Military Command Bureau immediately dispatched two female ** and sent her to the hospital to receive **.
After arriving at the hospital, Wang Huaqin excused himself to go to the bathroom, got rid of the ** around him, and quickly rushed to the teahouse where Cornell was.
When Wang Huaqin arrived, Cornell was playing cards on the second floor.
She stepped forward, tapped Cornell on the shoulder, and said to him"You get up, and I'll fight you. ”
Cornell was stunned for a while, but when he saw Wang Huaqin's eyes, he immediately understood what she meant.
He quickly went downstairs and left through the back door of the teahouse, just in time to avoid the detective team that arrived a minute later, and called Zhou Weilong to pounce.
Cornell escaped the pursuit of the Kuomintang, disguised himself as a beggar and left Sichuan, and returned to Yan'an.
However, what awaited Wang Huaqin was the interrogation of the Kuomintang investigation team.
Zhou Weilong believes that the arrest operation is very tight, and there is no possibility of leakage - except for Wang Huaqin, who left the Military Command Bureau that day.
The military command set up a special investigation team, and the leader of this investigation group happened to be the major general commissioner who introduced Wang Huaqin to Chongqing.
On the one hand, he is worried about Wang Huaqin's family background, and on the other hand, he is also worried that he will be implicated.
The major general has been defending Wang Huaqin's intercession, claiming that there is no conclusive evidence that she can be held accountable.
In the end, Wang Huaqin was only punished by house arrest for 6 months.
In 1947, Wang Huaqin was transferred to the post and telecommunications office in Guangyuan's hometown as the director.
But at this time, she no longer wanted to participate in politics, so she resigned from Luzhou.
In Luzhou, she met Lu Changming, the principal of Luzhou Middle School.
Lu Changming is also a communist, and on his recommendation, Wang Huaqin came to work in Luzhou Middle School as the director of teaching.
Because of their work together, the two often came into contact, fell in love for a long time, and entered the palace of marriage.
Wang Lianshan held a grand wedding for his daughter, and soon after the marriage, the couple returned to their hometown in Guangyuan.
Lu Changming is the principal of Zhaohua County High School, and Wang Huaqin is the chief tutor and Chinese and English teacher.
After marriage, the two have successful careers, have both children and have a happy family.
Wang Huaqin, who broke away from the Kuomintang, finally opened a new chapter in her life.
However, this happy life did not last long.
In 1951, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a massive anti-corruption and anti-espionage campaign was launched across the country.
It aims to eliminate reactionary forces in the country, crack down on corruption**, and exterminate the latent forces of the Kuomintang in the country.
Wang Huaqin's father, Wang Lianshan, was a well-known landowner in Zhaohua, and she herself worked in the military command, so she naturally became the target of suppression.
When Wang Huaqin was arrested, she was still pregnant.
She was held in Zhaohua Prison for 24 days and was eventually sentenced to death.
However, as soon as Wang Huaqin was escorted to the execution ground, Hu Qian, the magistrate of Zhaohua County, received a letter from his superiors.
The letter mentioned that Wang Huaqin's thinking was progressive, and he was forced to join the military command.
While working in the military command, she learned from within the Kuomintang about a secret operation to arrest Communist Party members.
So she risked her life to pass the news to the underground party organization, helping several comrades to escape the Kuomintang and save their lives.
This can show that although Wang Huaqin has a "bad record" in working in a spy organization, he has always harbored progressive tendencies.
Therefore, Hu Qian was asked to be lenient with Wang Huaqin based on this fact.
This letter saved Wang Huaqin, who was about to go to the execution ground, and her sentence was changed from death to 3 years of supervision.
And this life-saving letter was sent by Cornell, who was then the deputy secretary of the Southwest Working Committee of the Youth League.
Back then, he escaped because of Wang Huaqin's death, and now he has changed Wang Huaqin's fate with a letter.
After Wang Huaqin's accident, the organization sent someone to talk to Lu Changming and asked him to draw a line with Wang Huaqin.
Lu Changming was reluctant to accept it at first, but later under pressure, he still chose to divorce Wang Huaqin.
After being deported in 1961, Wang Huaqin went from being an intellectual woman to a farmer.
With a pair of children, she married Luo Shuncai, a farmer in Baolun Town, Guangyuan City.
Wang Huaqin not only has to raise children, but also has to be responsible for housework and work in the fields, and life is very hard.
But even so, fate still didn't let her go.
In that cruel and special era, Wang Huaqin became the object of criticism referred to by Qianfu and was under tremendous pressure.
She could not bear the criticism and attempted suicide.
Her son Rayong helped her write a lot of appeal materials, but to no avail.
It wasn't until 1982 that Wang Huaqin finally waited for the error correction document issued by the organization and publicly announced it at the township meeting.
After 30 years of wrongdoing, her innocence was finally revealed, and she was finally able to regain her freedom and dignity.
At this moment, Wang Huaqin finally showed a long-lost smile on her face, she said"Now I can be an honest man. ”
In 1983, Wang Huaqin was hired by Baolun Middle School and returned to the education industry as an English teacher.
In 1984, Wang Huaqin was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and when she was seriously ill, she was unconscious, but she still repeatedly recited Lin Daiyu's "Funeral Flower Yin".
"The essence is clean and clean, better than dirt and ditches", this is the portrayal of Wang Huaqin's life.
At 9 p.m. on March 16, 1985, 71-year-old Wang Huaqin passed away, leaving only a sighing story.
