On April 16, 1946, the Jiangsu High Court began hearing Chen Bijun's case. Chen Bijun in the courtroom, dressed in a dark blue shirt and a pair of black-framed glasses, had no remorse, but defended himself and Wang Jingwei's treasonous behavior with sharp words.
However, no matter how she argued in court, it could not change the fact that she had defected to the enemy. In the end, the Jiangsu High Court convicted Chen Bijun of being a traitor and imprisoned him.
After that, she was transferred to prison and began her life as a prisoner. Once, Chen Bijun thought that she became a prisoner only because of the law of "becoming a king and losing a prisoner", but in prison, she read "Liberation**" every day and received letters from her young son, which gradually changed her mind.
Chen Bijun was admitted to the hospital in May 1959, realizing that his illness was too serious to recover, so he left a letter to his children abroad, hoping that they would return to China to serve the country, and expressed remorse for his past crimes.
However, regarding the process of Chen Bijun**, it needs to be disclosed in detail.
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally, ending the eight-year war of resistance. The whole country rejoiced and celebrated the victory. However, as the "military advisor" behind Wang Jingwei and the "first lady" of Wang's puppet regime, Chen Bijun chose to surrender to Japan with him during Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy, leaving the interests of the family and the people.
Next, Zheng Jiemin wrote a letter to the then chairman Wang Puppet ** in the name of Chiang Kai-shek, and then went to Guangzhou to visit Chu Minyi in person. Through observation, Zheng Jiemin found that Chu Minyi was already panicked, so through coercion and temptation, Chu Minyi climbed the big ship of Chiang Kai-shek more firmly.
After Zheng Jiemin, Zheng Jiemin once again repeated his past practice, sending a telegram to Chu Minyi in the name of Chiang Kai-shek, urging him to go to Chongqing with Chen Bijun for negotiations as soon as possible.
Eventually, Chu Minyi fell into his trap and promised to persuade Chen Bijun to go with him to Chongqing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek. Three days later, Zheng Jiemin sent a car to pick up Chu Minyi and Chen Bijun, but when they got into the car, they found that Chu Minyi and Chen Bijun were taking the others in different cars, and the direction of the car was not the airport, but straight to the Pearl River.
Chen Bijun saw that the route was off track, and she understood Zheng Jiemin's trap. At this point, she was no longer able to resist. When the car arrived at the shore, Chen Bijun and Chu Minyi got on the motorboat that had been waiting for a long time.
It was only then that Zheng Jiemin revealed his true purpose. Chen Bijun and Chu Minyi felt cheated, but they couldn't resist. In this case, they can only accept the reality of "winning and losing".
In December 1945, the People** officially promulgated the "Regulations on the Punishment of Traitors" to determine the criminals who committed the crime of traitor in the war. Chen Bijun knew that he had no way out, so he could only accept it calmly.
On February 17, 1946, Chen Bijun was transferred to the detention center of the Jiangsu High Court in Suzhou. Two months later, the court handed down a verdict and sentenced her to prison for being a traitor.
In April 1949, Suzhou was liberated, and the People's Liberation Army, which had taken over the detention center, transferred Chen Bijun to Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai. Here, she frankly admitted her mistakes, and later said in a public *** that she fell to where she is today not because of her concept of "success and defeat".
While in prison, she began to read newspapers, publications, and letters from her family, and came to understand the inevitable success of the Chinese Communist Party. In 1959, Chen Bijun died of illness in Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison Hospital, and her life came to an end, however, people's ** towards her did not stop.
As the youngest member of the branch of the Malaysian League at the time, how she gradually deviated from the path of revolution from an active revolutionary became the focus of attention.
Chen Bijun was born in a wealthy Chinese businessman family, and his parents accumulated wealth in Nanyang in their early years. She received an advanced new education and had a passion for the revolution.
In 1912, Chen Bijun and Wang Jingwei got married. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalists moved to Chongqing, Wang Jingwei stayed in China to deal with affairs, and Chen Bijun supported a peace policy towards Japan.
According to the analysis of historians, Wang Jingwei has a weak personality and is hesitant to do things, but there is Chen Bijun's support and help behind every major event. There is even a saying that Chen Bijun also made a great contribution to Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy.
On December 22, 1938, Japan** issued Prime Minister Konoe's surrender statement, which is the so-called "Adjustment of Foreign Policy Toward China".
In March 1939, Wang Jingwei and Tran Bijun were assassinated by agents of the military command at their residence in Hanoi, making them realize that they were in danger. As a result, they immediately asked for help from Japan, hoping to send someone to escort them to Japan for refuge.
Japan** regarded Wang Jingwei and his wife as key figures in the disintegration of China's anti-Japanese front, so they attached great importance to their safety. Subsequently, Japan sent special personnel to escort Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun to Japan.
After Wang Jingwei openly committed treason, Chongqing ** decided to completely expel Chen Bijun from the party. In March 1940, Wang Puppet ** was officially established, and Chen Bijun became her so-called "first lady" as she wished.
However, with the increase in the enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese people in China, coupled with the fact that the Japanese front was too long and difficult to control, the situation of the anti-Japanese war began to change. Under these circumstances, Chen Bijun vigorously publicized the exploits of Wang Jingwei's regime in Guangdong and other places, and connived at the plundering of his descendants.
The Guangdong region once became Chen Bijun's "independent kingdom".
In March 1944, Chen Bijun accompanied Wang Jingwei to Japan for medical treatment. In November of the same year, Wang Jingwei died of illness in Japan, and Chen Bijun was heartbroken, and then escorted his body back to Nanjing.
However, the domestic War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has entered the first stage, and the defeat of the Japanese army is a foregone conclusion, so Chen Bijun has no choice but to return to Guangdong to live in seclusion. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Bijun was ensnared by Zheng Jiemin, the commander of the Kuomintang army, and imprisoned in Suzhou for post-war trial.
Chen Bijun's life ranged from actively participating in the revolution when he was young to being involved in the whirlpool of power, and he threw himself into the enemy for his own selfish interests, regardless of the honor and disgrace of the country, the nation, and the people.
Her ideological transformation stemmed from her quest for power and her stubbornness for personal gain.
She received a special education from an early age, which led to a lack of patriotic fervor from the bottom of her heart. Her husband, Wang Ching-wei, was ostracized within the Kuomintang because of his personality and ability, and because of his contacts with the pro-Japanese faction within the party, he chose to defect to the enemy.
In order to become the "first lady", Chen Bijun did not hesitate to support her husband to establish the Wang puppet regime, just to enjoy the treatment of "under one person, above ten thousand". ** Since then, she has been quibbling for her crimes, even arguing that the court's sentence against her and her husband was "unjust."
Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Bijun was still one of the most stubborn war criminals in prison, but she eventually realized her mistake and suddenly realized her mistake under the patient guidance of the rehabilitated personnel.
