Letter from the President, love will not die
On October 12, 1937, on the playground of Yan'an Public School, a Red Army soldier who had participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression, walked the Long March of 10,000 miles, was an instructor at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and a confidant and beloved general, was tried publicly as a prisoner.
Suddenly, however, a man on a fast horse arrived, dismounted, and shouted, "* Letter!" The audience was shocked by the news, and people were looking forward to what kind of changes the letter would bring.
A young and promising young man was born in Nankang, Jiangxi, and at the age of 16, he followed his brother to participate in the revolution and went to Jinggang Mountain together. In 1930, at the age of 19, he joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and became a member of the Communist Party of China.
In the five anti-encirclement campaigns, he participated in three times, among which he made great contributions in the Battle of Loushan Pass. This young soldier has continued to make contributions along the way, from a squad leader to a regiment commander, and finally served as the captain of the sixth team of the third phase of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University at the age of 26.
However, his fate changed in a momentous event and he was eventually sentenced to death. So, who is he? Stay tuned.
Huang Kegong, this name has left a deep imprint on the history of the revolution. He is an old Red Army, loyal to the revolution, loyal to the party, loyal to the people, bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield, and has a deep revolutionary friendship with ***.
However, he finally suffered a setback because of love, which was the "Huang Kegong case" that shocked the whole country that year. In 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, Yan'an, as a temporary foothold for the Red Army, attracted countless enthusiastic young people to participate in the revolutionary cause.
However, due to the needs of the war, the majority of men in the revolutionary bases at that time made this group of young female college students particularly eye-catching.
Dong Qiuyue, formerly known as Liu Qian, was born in a family of eunuchs in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. Although he was deeply influenced by everyone's beautiful style, the concept of "patriarchy" in the family deprived him of the opportunity to receive a good education, which only his elder brother could enjoy.
However, after returning from studying in Japan, my cousin knew that knowledge knew no gender, and was determined to help Dong Qiuyue get an education so that she could give full play to her talents. As it turned out, her cousin's decision was wise, and Dong Qiuyue not only excelled in school, but also gradually formed a firm revolutionary ideology.
In the secret organization in Taiyuan, she incarnated as "Liu Qian", actively propagated anti-Japanese propaganda, and contributed her strength to the cause of national liberation.
1.Liu Qian's parents fled Taiyuan for refuge after the Lugou Bridge Incident, but Liu Qian, who was only 16 years old, chose to cross the enemy's blockade line alone and came to Yan'an, leaving a note to tell her parents: "I flew into the vast world like a bird, please don't worry about my parents." ”
Her bravery and independence are admirable. 2.Huang Kegong is the captain of the third phase of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, young and promising, heroic and heroic, upright and kind, united and friendly.
His bravery on the battlefield is admirable, and his grace and handsomeness in the ranks are unforgettable. 3.The Anti-Japanese Military and Political University is a place that brings together outstanding officers and aspiring young people from various units, and serves as the chairman of the education committee and coordinates relevant education work.
It is a place where revolutionary leaders and outstanding officers are trained, and it is a holy place that countless aspiring young people yearn for.
The revolutionary contingent at the Yan'an base faced a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women, and college students who embraced new ideas began to boldly pursue love. Among them, Liu Qian is the youngest in the team, but she is highly motivated and has asked to go to the front line many times, which has attracted Huang Kegong's attention.
They write letters to each other, and their relationship gradually deepens. Although their relationship seems to be a good match, there is actually a certain asymmetry.
Huang Kegong, a battle-hardened warrior with a strong personality, had serious disagreements with Liu Qian in love and marriage. Liu Qian is a female college student who accepts new ideas and longs for free and romantic love, while Huang Kegong has a traditional concept of marriage, a strong desire to control, and a simple and rude approach to love.
Although Liu Qian admires revolutionary heroes, she knows that falling in love and getting married are two different things. In the end, Liu Qian followed the team to Shaanbei Public School, and the two had to separate, and their relationship gradually faded.
Liu Qian's lively and cheerful personality is deeply loved by the team, but under the modern concept of equality between men and women, the normal working relationship between her and her male classmates was misinterpreted as empathy in Huang Kegong's eyes, causing him to be extremely angry and immediately wrote a letter to blame Liu Qian.
Since then, Huang Kegong has frequently written letters to Liu Qian because of anxiety, and each letter expresses his desire to get married. Liu Qian was overwhelmed and refused to reply. In the end, Huang Kegong came to Yan'an, but Liu Qian made it clear that she didn't want to get married too early, and the relationship between the two was not suitable.
However, Huang Kegong did not give up, he kept sending money and gifts to Liu Qian, which made Liu Qian feel pressured. Liu Qian deeply felt that her dignity had been violated, and decided to reject Huang Kegong and draw a line with him.
Reason collapsed, and the reason that shot his girlfriend Huang Kegong collapsed. On the night of October 5, he came to Shaanbei Public School and saw Liu Qian exercising in the playground with his classmates, and his anger was ignited.
He held back his anger, greeted Liu Qian, and went for a walk by the river together. However, what was unexpected was that Huang Kegong was carrying a pistol. He asked Liu Qian again for marriage, but Liu Qian resolutely refused.
The two quarreled fiercely because of this, Huang Kegong did not hesitate to take out a pistol and fired a shot at Liu Qian, Liu Qian fell to the ground, but she did not die, but shouted for help. However, Huang Kegong was still irrational, and he shot again, this time the bullet entered the back of Liu Qian's left ear and penetrated the door of the brain, and Liu Qian lost her life.
Huang Kegong was suspected of killing Liu Qian**, although he denied it at first, ** found strong evidence. First, it was confirmed that the two had gone out together on the night of the crime; second, there were still blood stains on Huang Kegong's clothes; Thirdly, experts confirm that he had recently used a pistol.
Unable to deny the irrefutable evidence, Huang Kegong finally admitted his crime.
Faced with a dilemma: Outstanding Red Army soldier kills for love, trial is in trouble The news that a 16-year-old female college student was killed under the gun of Red Army soldier Huang Kegong caused a strong reaction in society.
Huang Kegong was a leader in the Red Army, and he made great achievements for the war, but in the face of love, he lost his mind and committed the harrowing crime of murder.
The trial thus faced a dilemma. This incident has aroused different voices from the top leadership and the masses. Some people believe that although Huang Kegong has meritorious achievements, it is the bottom line of the law to pay for his life, and he should not harm innocent lives because of his impulsiveness.
Others believe that Huang Kegong made great contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and that his life should be more respected and tolerant. In the case of talent needs at the front, he can serve the country by committing crimes instead of dying on the battlefield.
In this complicated situation, the vice principal felt very helpless. Huang Kegong was an effective general in the Red Army, and his heroic deeds were recognized by everyone.
However, his criminal behavior has divided people's evaluation of him. Students from Northern Shaanxi Public School gathered at the school and strongly demanded that Huang Kegong pay for his crimes, but his comrades-in-arms in the army who fought with Huang Kegong kept pleading for him and asking for leniency.
The dilemma facing this trial is how to find a balance between the dignity of the law and the need to protect talent. Whether it is Huang Kegong's right-hand man status or his crimes, it has made people think deeply.
**The case was reported to **, and the Military Commission immediately convened a meeting. **I was very sad to learn about it and angry about it. In the end, the chairman made a decision that Huang Kegong would be tried by the people, and the presiding judge would be Lei Jingtian, president of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border District High Court.
Before being imprisoned, Huang Kegong wrote a self-description letter, in which he said: "As a member of the Communist Party, at a time when the country and the nation were in danger, I could not serve the country on the battlefield, but was imprisoned in prison and enjoyed the country's food, and I felt very guilty about this."
Therefore, I request that the Party and the court take into account my revolutionary achievements in the 10-year struggle for the Party and the country, give me a chance to make meritorious contributions for my crimes, and give me a lighter punishment.
I believe that this is a blessing for the party and for me personally. ”
Lei Jingtian's letter shocked ***, and he believed that Long March cadres could not kill people at will, and this was the rule of our Communist Party. Although some in the crowd wanted to be lenient with Huang Kegong, the chairman stood firm in his position, believing that Huang Kegong must be judged by the people.
In the playground of Northern Shaanxi Public School, thousands of people gathered there, waiting for the verdict of the leaders of the Communist Party of China. What will be the fate of Huang Kegong, let's wait and see.
At the public trial of the court sentence stills, Huang Kegong insisted that Liu Qian's breaking of the marriage contract was an insult to the revolutionary soldiers, and he thought that he had made great contributions and had qualifications, and he would let himself go.
He undressed him so that the crowd could see the scars on his body, counted the battles he fought, and wept along with his comrades to intercede for him. Although he confessed, Liu Qian's classmates were indignant, believing that even if he was loyal to the revolution, he was loyal to Liu Qian, but he could not kill Liu Qian because of her refusal, and Huang Kegong must be severely punished.
In the end, Lei Jingtian announced that Huang Kegong had been sentenced to death and executed immediately.
At the end of Huang Kegong's case, a man rode a fast horse to the execution scene and shouted: "* Letter!" This letter was written to Huang Kegong, because Huang Kegong is the chairman's confidant, so he is very much looking forward to the chairman opening up.
However, the chairman's letter made it clear that Wong had committed an unforgivable crime. As a member of the Red Army, he needed more discipline and selflessness.
After listening to the letter, Huang Kegong was deeply ashamed, and he shouted: "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation!" Long live the Communist Party of China! In the end, Huang Kegong was executed. Although this letter dealt a heavy blow to Huang Kegong, it also made him realize the importance of discipline and justice.
Epilogue For the Red Army, the loss of a soldier like Huang Kegong is heart-wrenching, but if he is not executed, it cannot serve as a warning to the army and the people, because personal desires and other people's lives cannot be violated at will.
Everyone has the right to pursue love, but making it difficult for a strong man will only exacerbate the conflict and lead to irreparable consequences.
