Father diedA month later, there is a black and white old **, who is she?
When sorting out his father's relics, Lan Yaxin found a black and white old ** sealed in a small wooden box. On the top is a young and beautiful woman, with a high nose, big eyes, and fashionable long hair.
Although his father kept his wooden box a secret when he was alive, finding this ** from his relics made Lan Yaxin curious. She couldn't help but wonder about the identity of this woman and the story behind this **.
Comrades of the Ninth Company, have you eaten? ”
One is forced to become strong men, who are often not much educated; the second is to make a living, which is also a major reason why they join the army; The third is students who have the ambition to serve the country, these people can usually afford to study in a normal or university, and their family conditions are relatively good.
According to the archival materials provided by the family, Lan Rong served as a platoon commander and adjutant in the 93rd Division from 1939 to 1948.
The 93rd Division, which had been attached to the Sixth Army and then the 26th Army, entered Gyeongtung, Burma in February 1942 and participated in the battle against Japan. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they were stationed in the southwest of Yunnan, but after the liberation, some officers and soldiers of the 93rd Division fled to the Golden Triangle and became the origin of the Thai lone army.
Regarding his experience of participating in the Anti-Japanese War, Lan Rong was never willing to mention it to his children except for a few words engraved on the tombstone. Even in his area, few people know that he is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War.
The Shenzhen Longyue Charity Association, which is committed to finding and caring for the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, has never received any information about this veteran.
Lan Yaxin recalled that his father Lan Rong grew up on the **farm, and he had **and**. The file shows that Lan Rong was sentenced by the Baoshan Branch of the Yunnan Provincial People's Court for selling guns and harboring bandit leaders.
Lan Rong was believed to have joined the reactionary forces of the Kuomintang and posed a threat to the people.
Wang Zongmei, a ** veteran from Neijiang, Sichuan, worked in Baoshan Mercury Factory after liberation, and later worked at Baoshan Grain Station, but then lost news. According to the recollection of a prisoner who was ** here, the mercury factory at that time used the soil method to extract, which seriously endangered human health, and he saw with his own eyes that many young people slowly lost their hair and teeth due to mercury poisoning, and eventually died.
It is said that mercury was used in large quantities to create satellites for the USSR and required working day and night, so many could not withstand the pressure and fell to the ground and disappeared the next day.
Every Spring Festival, Lan Rong receives greeting cards from Baoshan Prison, a former prisoner who is now also an employee of the prison. In the past few decades, China's ** farms have held a large number of anti-Japanese war veterans, some of whom have nowhere to go after completing their sentences, so they can only make a living on the farms or find a place to live next to the farms.
Since 1949, China has granted amnesty eight times, the most recent of which was in August 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which granted amnesty to four categories of criminals who did not pose a real danger to society, the first of which was for convicts who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.
For those veterans who have been imprisoned for a long time, due to their special status, no savings and life**, and a withdrawn personality, many people are lonely and widowed all their lives, and even beg on the street or pick up garbage for a living.
In 2014, I conducted a statistical survey of the surviving veterans of the Anti-Japanese War in Hunan Province, and the proportion of widows and orphans was as high as 5%, which is basically the case. With curiosity about these veterans, Lan Yaxin continued to sort out his father's relics and found two more black and white **.
Her father took a photo with her, she was wearing a light blue cheongsam, holding her father's arm, and the two were dressed in formal clothes, looking particularly solemn.
In a group photo of four people, Lan Yaxin saw his father in military uniform and a close woman sitting in the front row. The woman put her hands on her father's shoulders and rested her head lightly together, revealing a deep affection between the two.
Lan Yaxin remembers that his father had mentioned that he had a wife, the daughter of a Tusi family, but since 1949, she has moved to Taiwan with her family, and agreed to wait in Taiwan to be with her father.
However, my father was trapped in prison. Among his father's relics, Lan Yaxin also found a handwritten notice to find his relatives, which triggered deep thoughts about his father's unfinished love.
Dear compatriots, my name is Lan Yaxin, and my father, Lan Rong, is 84 years old this year, he is a former commander of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 277th Regiment of the 93rd Division of the Sixth Army of the Kuomintang, and now lives in Yaoguan Town, Shidian County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province.
He has always hoped to find the following relatives: Tang Yushan (brother-in-law), 88 years old, former commander of the 21st or 24th Division of the Kuomintang, the first batch to withdraw from the mainland to Taiwan; Lan Yebing (sister), who went to Taiwan with Tang Yushan; Sang Xiuzhen (ex-wife), formerly known as Li Xiuzhen, she is the daughter of Sang Kesheng, Tusi Sang Kesheng of Mangshi, studied in Yangon when she was young, and her family moved to Taiwan or abroad before liberation.
According to the age calculation, this missing person notice was written in 2005, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. My father often talked about his family in Sichuan and his ex-wife, but his words did not attract the attention of his family.
Recently, I checked the information of Mangshi Toast and found that there is a toast named Fang Kesheng, I think maybe he is our relative. If you have relevant information, or know them, please contact me in a timely manner, I would be very grateful.
I will do my best to accommodate your request and reunite you and your family. Please help me to make my father's wish come true so that he can reunite with his loved ones and share his life and stories.
Thank you for your help.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Fang Kesheng organized guerrillas in the mountains and bravely resisted the Japanese army. In 1950, the People's Liberation Army marched into Dehong and negotiated with Fang Kesheng, promising to retain his position as county magistrate and encouraging him to maintain close ties with the Communists.
However, the negotiators inadvertently called him a "pseudo-county magistrate", leaving Fang Kesheng confused and dissatisfied. Eventually, at the instigation of Kuomintang agents, Fang Kesheng was forced to flee to Burma and join Li Mi's guerrilla forces, eventually heading to Taiwan.
Although Fang Kesheng died in 1983, his status in politics has not been low. In the historical records of Dehong Prefecture, we can see that on May 6, 1950, Fang Kesheng, who was in Myanmar, was still appointed as the county magistrate, and another person was appointed as the acting county magistrate.
Is this "Sang Ke Sheng" Fang Ke Sheng? Although Fang Kesheng fled to Burma, he was still highly expected by the Communists. If he was Lan Rong's father-in-law, then a lot must have happened before Lan Rong ** in October of that year.
As for why Lan Rong didn't leave together, it may be because they have different ideas and plans. Before 1949, it was common for Tusi to marry his daughter to an officer.
Lin Feng, a veteran of the Chinese Expeditionary Force living in Burma, also married the daughter of Tusi Duoyingpei in Yunnan. However, the situation changed after 1949.
Lin Feng fled to Myanmar with his wife, and his father-in-law Duo Yingpei, under the persuasion of the Communist Party, actively participated in the work of stabilizing the border, and became the deputy county magistrate of Luxi County in New China, the vice chairman of the Dehong Prefecture Political Consultative Conference, and the deputy to the Provincial People's Congress.
However, he was subjected to ** during the "Cultural Revolution" and was criticized to death on January 18, 1969. Lan Rong once told his son Lan Yaxin that he and his ex-wife had a child who died of chickenpox a few months after birth.
Before fleeing, Lan Rong told Lan Yaxin that they would go to Taiwan, and she would wait for him in Taiwan to go to the reunion. However, this wait became a lifelong wait, and they never met again.
After five years of imprisonment and many years of disasters, how did he protect these precious **? At the age of 84, what drove him to write this missing person notice?
Perhaps only by finding more parties can this secret be revealed.
