Special Officer, **Child's Adoptive Father,**years
In April 1955, a prisoner at the No. 1 Detention Center in Nancheng District, Shanghai, was acquitted after two years in prison. When he was first imprisoned, everyone mistakenly thought he was a spy, but after investigation, he was not a spy, but a former special agent of the CCP, and he also raised two children of ***.
His life is full of legends, so who is he?When he was young, he devoted himself to the country and joined the CCP Special Branch. Late at night on November 11, 1929, on Xiafei Road in Shanghai, gunshots suddenly rang out.
A man fell in a pool of blood. The gunfire woke many people, and some nearby residents carefully pushed the door and stood at the door quietly watching the situation on the street. And among the quietly ** people, there is a strange person, he is also quietly ** the situation, but when the Kuomintang lackeys pick up the man who fell in a pool of blood and tell him about his death, a smile appeared on his face.
Dong Jianwu, born in Qingpu County, Shanghai in 1891, is the son of a scholarly family, with a solid family and a good education since childhood. Since his mother was an apprentice, Dong Jianwu also had a tutor of a Western female pastor and received a Western education.
He was so clever that he became proficient in English in a short period of time and was given the opportunity to attend a church school. After that, he converted to Christianity, studied theology deeply, and after graduation, he served as the principal of the church high school, and because of his good teaching, he was favored by the president of St. John's University and hired him to teach at the university.
Dong Jianwu should have spent his life in preaching and education, but the patriotic enthusiasm in his heart was stimulated by the "Five Days"**. He left his old school and embarked on the path of a pastor in pursuit of national rejuvenation.
After getting acquainted with the comrades of the Communist Party, he was deeply influenced by his thoughts of loving the motherland and pursuing progress, and was determined to contribute to the strength and prosperity of the country. In 1927, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, and Dong Jianwu could not sit idly by and watch the Communists suffer, so he secretly joined the Communist Party in 1928 and became a member of the Shanghai Communist Party Special Branch, fighting for the revolutionary cause all his life.
On the surface, he was a priest in St. Peter's Church, but secretly he was a loyal fighter of the Communist Party, constantly collecting intelligence for the Party, reconnoitring the enemy, and completing various tasks. In order to hide his identity, he also opened an antique shop in the city while working as a pastor in the church.
In this way, it is not only convenient to collect information, but also to use the convenience of one's position to establish a secret liaison station in the church. Dong Jianwu used his wit and benevolence to brilliantly complete every task assigned to him by the party.
As the work deepened, the tasks he received became more and more arduous. In April 1929, due to the betrayal of the traitor Bai Xin, some comrades were arrested by the Kuomintang. Bai Xin used to be the secretary of the ** Military Commission, he knew very secrets, and his defection brought great harm to the party's cause.
** Order Chen Geng to use the special red team to get rid of the scourge of Bai Xin. And Bai Xin was on Xiafei Road in Shanghai at the time, preparing to flee to Italy.
In order to solve Bai Xin, Chen Geng decided to make a full plan before acting. To this end, he sent Dong Jian Wu to conduct pre-operation reconnaissance. In order to avoid attracting attention, Dong Jianwu decided to appear in a different capacity.
Sometimes he plays the role of an old man with a cane, sometimes a wealthy merchant in a suit and leather shoes, and even a beggar in rags. Each time, he would take a targeted turn around the place, and then quietly hide in a no-man's land and start drawing a map.
After a period of visiting, the location of the sentry post here, the area that is easy to hide, and the passage that is easy to retreat are all clearly marked by him. With the help of this map, Chen Geng led eight men to successfully eliminate Bai Xin and retreat safely.
Dong Jianwu was in the crowd, and after confirming Bai Xin's death, he left quietly.
Dong Jianwu took over the task of organizing the kindergarten, selling land and property to raise funds, and providing shelter for the orphans of martyrs and the children of revolutionaries. Although he worked hard, he had no regrets and dedicated his strength to the revolutionary cause.
In a short period of time, he accepted more than 30 children of various ages, the youngest of whom was only two or three years old, but all of them were well cared for. This kindergarten is not only a home for children, but also a way to inherit and carry forward the spirit of martyrs.
When their father was busy with the revolutionary cause, the three brothers stayed in their hometown of Changsha Bancang. Unfortunately, their mother, Yang Kaihui, was killed by the enemy because she implicated their father, and the lives of the three brothers were in trouble.
In order to solve their predicament, Mao ** applied to the organization and sent them to the kindergarten founded by Dong Jianwu. Dong Jian Wu cares about these three children very much and takes care of them with all his heart.
However, despite his efforts, four-year-old Mao Anlong died of illness, which deeply saddened Dong Jianwu. Unfortunately, the enemy discovered the identities of the kindergarten children, and for the safety of the children, Dong Jianwu reluctantly closed the kindergarten.
The children were orderly moved to a safe area, while Mao Anying and his brother were taken to their homes by Dong Jianwu to take care of them personally. In addition to being responsible for the children's daily life, Dong Jianwu's wife also carefully arranged their studies.
However, as time passed, Dong realized that it could not be this way for long. Because the children spoke the authentic Hunan dialect, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Dong Jianwu and his wife never let them go out alone.
Moreover, the education of children is beginning to show that they cannot study at home all the time and need to receive formal schooling. In order to ensure the safe education of the children and get out of the predicament, Dong Jian Wu has put a lot of effort into it.
Finally in June 1936, he took advantage of the opportunity of Li Du, the former anti-Japanese general of the Fengjun, to go to the Soviet Union, and asked Zhang Xueliang to help him and let Li Du take the children to the Soviet Union.
Li Du made proper arrangements, and the Mao Anying brothers came to Moscow in the spring of 1937 to receive formal education. Dong Jianwu is still at his post and has conscientiously fulfilled his revolutionary tasks.
In 1935, the Red Army's Long March reached northern Shaanxi, which established an anti-Japanese revolutionary base and attracted patriotic and progressive youths from all over the country. The Kuomintang reactionaries blockaded and surrounded the base areas, maliciously propagandized and slandered the image of the Communist Party, and had a bad impact on the people of the whole country.
In order to let the outside world know the real situation of the Chinese communists, it was decided to invite foreign journalists to visit the Soviet area and make truthful reports. But it was not easy to find suitable foreign journalists and safely break through the KMT's hurdles to northern Shaanxi.
So *** and *** asked Ms. Song Qingling to find a candidate.
In 1936, the American journalist Edgar ** decided to visit northern Shaanxi. He had a deep sympathy for the misery of the Chinese people, so Soong Ching Ling thought he was a suitable candidate.
However, she needs someone who can escort him. After thinking about it, Song Qingling thought of Dong Jianwu. Dong Jianwu is proficient in English, can communicate smoothly with Americans, and as a ** pastor, it is relatively natural to contact foreign journalists, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion.
For the sake of safety, Dong Jianwu changed his name to Wang Chuji, and others called him "Pastor Wang". In Xi'an, Dong Jianwu and ** had a meeting.
After checking the information on the card, the two smiled reassuringly and shook hands. This is their pre-set secret joint signal, the card is an English poem written by Song Qingling himself, stamped and divided into two, handed to them.
Although they succeeded in sending him to a safe place, how to send him to the base area in northern Shaanxi was still a difficult problem. Relying on Dong Jianwu's own strength is far from enough, he needs the help of more people.
So, he remembered someone. After staying in Xi'an for a few days, Dong Jianwu excitedly came to the room of ** and said, "Let's go to the ruins of the Han Palace on the outskirts of Xi'an, shall we?" ”
* Looking at Pastor Wang's sudden transformation, I was puzzled. He asked Pastor Wang why they had forgotten the important things they were going to do. Pastor Wang told him that he just wanted to relax.
* Followed Pastor Wang into a car, where he found a man wearing a Kuomintang officer's uniform, sunglasses, and a serious expression. ** Panicked, but seeing Pastor Wang's casual appearance, he decided to trust Pastor Wang and entered the car together.
After the car was far away, the mysterious man slowly took off his sunglasses and was surprised to find that he knew the man.
Deng Fa, the head of the CCP's secret police detective, with his bravery and determination, helped ** successfully reach the base area in northern Shaanxi. Although Chiang Kai-shek offered a reward of 50,000 oceans for his head, he was undaunted, worked out a plan of action with Pastor Wang, and passed the special pass of the northwest "to suppress the general" and successfully passed the forbidden area.
Here, ** conducted in-depth investigations and visits, and created "A Journey to the West", which for the first time openly introduced to the West the heroic struggle of the Communist Party of China for national liberation, and greatly expanded the influence of China's new democratic revolution.
After completing the mission, Pastor Wang returned to Shanghai and continued to fight for the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.
Dong Jianwu, a massage doctor after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, did not ask the organization for his merits, but lived silently among ordinary people. However, due to the unjust cases of Pan Hannian and Yang Fan, Dong Jianwu was innocently accused of being a spy and suffered two years in prison.
Despite this, his true identity was eventually revealed, and his kindness in caring for *** children and his contribution to the revolution earned him respect and admiration. **once said that he later learned that Pastor Wang, who escorted** to northern Shaanxi, was Dong Jianwu, and he was really a wonder in our party.
Dong Jianwu was born and died for the revolutionary cause several times during his lifetime, but after the victory of the revolution, he refused to enjoy the care of the state and still lived a poor life with his own hands. It is precisely these selfless, fearless, and single-minded warriors who have relied on firm convictions, overcome difficulties, and constantly struggled to make our revolutionary cause more and more prosperous and strong.
Today, although Dong Jianwu and other revolutionary martyrs have left us, the spiritual wealth they left behind will always inspire us and push us forward.
They are laid to rest in the Shanghai Martyrs' Cemetery, and their spirits live on.
