In 1984, a Beijing sweeping aunt held a broom and bravely walked to the ** institution. She approached the staff and said, "Hello, I want to donate all my property to the state, can you help me?" ”
Hearing Auntie's words, the staff quickly took out a ** and asked, "Auntie, what is your name?" How much do you plan to donate? "My name is Zhao Biyan, and I want to donate 2.4 billion. ”
The staff said in surprise: "Auntie, you're not kidding, are you?" ”
Zhao Biyan's sweeping aunt said: "I am not donating money, but atoning for my sinners." Her sinner was none other than her late husband Zhao Xinbo, a traitor who had established the puppet state of Manchukuo.
Zhao Xinbo was born in Wanping, Hebei Province in 1890, his living and educational conditions were much better than many people at that time, and his parents were well-known local families, so that he received a good education from an early age, and lived a very prosperous life.
When Zhao Xinbo was 16 years old, his parents planned a life path for him and made him a member of the Qing ** Praetorian Guard. Subsequently, he entered Tianjin Peiyang University for further study, you know, in that era, the people who could go to university were only a handful of elites.
Despite the help of his parents, Zhao Xinbo was still able to enter the university to study, which is enough to show that he is outstanding. At the beginning of college, Zhao Xinbo, like many young people, cherished the ideal of serving the country and saving the people.
He devoted himself to the Beijing Civilization New Theater Troupe, often performing in patriotic plays, and then joined the Kuomintang and participated in revolutionary activities with Sun Yat-sen.
Although Dr. Sun Yat-sen led the revolutionary trend of the era, Yuan Shikai and others still hindered the path of revolution. After the failure of the Second Revolution in 1913, Zhao Xinbo suffered a heavy blow and was wanted by Yuan Shikai, so he could only change his name and surname and flee to Dalian for refuge, becoming Liu Xiaozhi.
The former revolutionary youth, in order to make a living, became a Japanese Chinese teacher. During his two years in Dalian, he was appreciated by the principal of the school, and it was here that he met his first wife, Wang Biyan.
The story of Wang Biyan and Zhao Xinbo is full of surprises and touching. The two met in an accident, and although the age difference was eight years, they came together in mutual support.
In 1915, Zhao Xinbo got the opportunity to study in Japan, although he was short of money, Wang Biyan did not hesitate to take out all his family property to support him.
This kind of selfless dedication makes Zhao Xinbo full of respect and love for Wang Biyan. During their days in Japan, the two lived a short and sweet life. However, the good times did not last long, and Wang Biyan fell ill because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and was admitted to the Tokyo Imperial University Hospital.
This accident has filled the lives of the two with uncertainty and challenges. Despite the difficulties, Wang Biyan's tenacity and Zhao Xinbo's love made them persevere and face the difficulties and challenges of life together.
In general, the story of Wang Biyan and Zhao Xinbo tells us that love must not only have deep love, but also selfless dedication and tenacity. Their story is a true story of love, courage and perseverance that deserves to be savored and learned.
Wang Biyan, Zhao Xinbo's second wife, although she is seriously ill, she is not terminally ill. However, fate is ruthless, and Tokyo Imperial University Hospital, Japan, as a first-class medical institution in Japan, made a mistake in **Wang Biyan's accident**, which caused her to pass away forever.
Zhao Xinbo was deeply saddened by the death of Wang Biyan, and although he graduated from Meiji University and received a doctorate from Tokyo Imperial University, his memory of his wife could not be erased.
However, no matter when and where, Zhao Xinbo, with his outstanding ability and talent, will become a leader of the times, no matter in the world, he can make a difference and continue to contribute to the revolutionary cause.
One day in 1921, when Zhao Xinbo was on vacation in Dalian, he met his second wife, Geng Weifu. Under the guidance of his sister, he and Geng Weifu met, and the two hit it off at first sight and were attracted to each other.
Geng Weifu had long heard of Zhao Xinbo's participation in the Second Revolution and his doctorate, and admired him. However, when he was about to enter the palace of marriage, Zhao Xinbo made a seemingly excessive request: "If we get married, can you change your name to Zhao Biyan?" ”
Image source network Zhao Xinbo Two years after the death of his wife Wang Biyan, although he had a new relationship, he could never forget his ex-wife. In the face of such unreasonable requests, most women will refuse, but Geng Weifu's feelings for Zhao Xinbo can no longer be contained, and he is even willing to change his name and surname to marry Zhao Xinbo.
So, she changed her name to Zhao Biyan, entered the palace of marriage with Zhao Xinbo, and lived in Japan with him. However, Zhao Biyan did not expect that this high-achieving husband who had participated in the revolution would later become the big traitor referred to by Qianfu.
Although Zhao Xinbo's experience has made him fortunate to be recognized by a group of Japanese, they have trained him to become a talent at any cost.
Although Zhao Xinbo's family was cultivated by the Japanese, their purpose was not simply to be optimistic about Zhao Xinbo's ability. In fact, they fancy Zhao Xinbo's Chinese identity, believing that he can be an important help in the invasion of China.
From the moment Zhao Xinbo set foot on Japanese soil, Class A war criminals such as Seishiro Sakagaki and Kenji Dohihara began to contact him, trying to win him over to join his camp.
At first, Zhao Xinbo maintained a strong sense of patriotism, but as he received more and more education in Japanese militarist ideology, he began to consciously stand on the side of the Japanese and no longer needed the support of others.
Zhao Xinbo, a scholar with a doctorate, returned to China in 1926 and was sent by the Japanese to Northeast China and under Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin has always been a scholar, and Zhao Xinbo naturally received his attention and served as the legal adviser of the Security Command of the three eastern provinces.
However, Zhang Zuolin did not expect that the scholar he had always respected would become the lackey of the Japanese he had always despised him. In June 1928, the Japanese learned that Zhang Zuolin would pass through Huanggutun, so they ambushed him on the road and killed him with explosives, laying the groundwork for the later "918 Incident".
Zhang Zuolin and Zhao Xinbo After Zhang Zuolin was killed, Zhang Xueliang had no good impression of Zhao Xinbo, the person arranged by the Japanese. In order to stay in Fengtian City, Zhao Xinbo had to curry favor with Zhang Xueliang while safeguarding the interests of the Japanese.
Three years later, before the 918 Incident, Zhao Xinbo learned from Zhang Xueliang that the squadron was preparing to retreat directly without resistance, and immediately passed the news to Seishiro Sakagaki, Kenji Dohihara and others, so that the Japanese could rest assured and boldly wreak havoc on the land of Northeast China.
In the face of the fall of the three northeastern provinces, Zhao Xinbo not only did not regret it, but thought that he had a bright future.
Zhao Xinbo (right) cleverly proposed that the Japanese change the name of Changchun to "Xinjing" in order to subtly improve the perception of the local people and strengthen Japan's influence in Northeast China. In addition, he used his experience as a Praetorian Guard in the Qing Dynasty to advocate the re-establishment of a regime with Puyi as the core, as a way to increase Japan's control over China.
He also named the regime, which was established by the Japanese, "Manchukuo". Thanks to his efforts, the puppet state of Manchukuo was established in less than a year. As a result, Zhao Xinbo obtained the nickname of "Manchukuo's midwife" in the puppet Manchukuo and became a senior **.
After receiving help from the Japanese, he began to act recklessly.
In less than 6 years, the Japanese established Manchukuo in China and made Zhao Xinbo a senior **, thus obtaining tens of billions of benefits. However, Zhao Xinbo's arrogance made him unbearable by the Japanese, so in 1937, he lost his position.
Although he was unwilling to accept this, the vast wealth he had accumulated in his hands allowed him to live a leisurely life in Japan. After that, the Japanese again remembered this useful lackey and transferred him to Beijing at the time of the establishment of the pseudo-North China Provisional ** to take up the post of legal adviser.
In this new position, Zhao Xinbo has reined in some of his money-collecting behavior, and his behavior has become more low-key.
Zhao Xinbo had served the Japanese camp during World War II, but with Japan's surrender, he was deeply panicked and feared being tried as a war criminal. Fortunately, he found Judge Ni Zhengyi and expressed his willingness to provide evidence of Japanese war criminals in order to obtain forgiveness.
Ni Zhengyi accepted his request and gave him a chance to redeem himself. This story teaches us that even if we make mistakes, if we have the courage to face them and correct them, we can always be forgiven and given a chance to be born again.
Japanese war criminals were sentenced to prison, but Zhao Xinbo listened to rumors in prison and continued to engage in traitorous acts in an attempt to destroy evidence. However, his intransigence led to being convicted of traitor, and after spending five years in prison, he died of a cerebral thrombosis, paying the price for his crimes.
As a result, his family was labeled as "traitor's family" and suffered public revival, and it was not until after the founding of New China that he was gradually rehabilitated and his life improved.
Although the labels on Zhao Biyan and her son have gradually faded, their lives have changed completely. In order to raise her young son, Zhao Biyan, who had no long life, had to become a sweeper.
Faced with the huge contrast in life, Zhao Biyan did not complain, because she was well aware of the seriousness of the crimes committed by her husband. After years of hard work, Zhao Zongyang has his own children, and Zhao Biyan has also changed from a sweeper to a sweeping aunt.
Suddenly, several overseas Chinese from the China-Japan Friendship Association came to Zhao Biyan's home. When her husband was still alive, Zhao Biyan had met with several of them. This time, she thought that these people were here to catch up, but she didn't expect them to bring good news.
Liao Chengzhi, president of the Network Friendship Association, said to Zhao Biyan bluntly: "Ms. Zhao, the main purpose of our visit this time is to return to you the assets left by your father Zhao Xinbo in Japan. ”
It turned out that during his tenure as a traitor, Zhao Xinbo used most of his illegal gains to buy various assets in Japan. Zhao Biyan knew something about this, so she asked, "How much?" ”
Not much, about 5 billion yuan. Hearing this number, even Zhao Biyan couldn't help but widen her eyes. You must know that in the 60s, the monthly salary of national leaders was only more than 600 yuan, and the gold content of this 5 billion yuan was immeasurable.
After Zhao Xinbo's death, he entrusted all his assets to his friend Yanosuke Suzuki. However, after Suzuki Yanosuke learned of Zhao Xinbo's death, he wanted to monopolize these properties and forged Zhao Biyan's death certificate.
Therefore, the purpose of Liao Chengzhi and others' trip was to let Zhao Biyan personally go to Japan to fight the lawsuit. Although the issues involved in this case are more complicated, with the help of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the China-Japan Friendship Association and other units, Zhao Biyan won the lawsuit with difficulty in 1973 and got back nearly 3 billion yuan of property.
After getting this huge amount of property, Zhao Biyan gathered all the family members at home and held a family meeting.
Zhao Biyan and her children thought that the old man would start to divide the family property, and sat around excitedly. However, the old man's words made them all stunned. "I decided to donate 80% of the three billion yuan to the state, hoping to repay my husband's past sins. ”
Although the children were a little disappointed, none of them objected. Because they understand that the old man's husband did make many mistakes in the past. With the support of her family, Zhao Biyan donated 2.4 billion yuan to the country in 1984, contributing to the construction and development of the country.
Although Zhao Xinbo's life is full of stains, his wife Zhao Biyan's righteous deeds are impressive. She returned the hard-earned money that Zhao Xinbo had scavenged to the motherland, which is not only correct, but also worthy of our praise.
Zhao Biyan's behavior not only cleared the shame of the family, but also allowed future generations to raise their heads and be human beings.
