One night in 1979, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan: "Knock knock." ”
All at once the silence of the night was broken.
When the staff heard this, they thought that there must be something urgent when they came in the middle of the night, so they got up and opened the door.
I looked at an old man standing outside and asked him what had happened.
It is understood that he is the vice president of a country. When the embassy staff heard what he said, they were shocked.
As vice president of the country, he ran to the Chinese embassy in Pakistan, which is not a trivial matter. The staff immediately reported the matter to **.
It turned out that this person's name was Hoang Van Huan, and he was the vice president of Vietnam.
But why did Huang Wenhuan resolutely defect to China, and what was his final outcome?
Hoang Van Huan was born in 1905 into a poor family in Vietnam. His father was a teacher who taught locally and received a meager salary. The mother relied on the sale of silk cloth to support the family. In this way, the family often did not have enough food and clothing.
Under the influence of his father, Huang Wenhuan was very interested in reading and writing. The father saw that his son was quite talented in learning, so he sent Huang Wenhuan to study at the Franco-Vietnamese Middle School in 1919.
Huang Wenhuan came into contact with many like-minded friends at school, and after graduation, he was baptized by revolutionary ideas and began to seek a way out of the country and the truth of national salvation.
After graduating from the Franco-Vietnamese School in 1923, Hoang Van Huan, who was determined to be revolutionary, was always looking for opportunities to join the revolution.
Huang Wenhuan wanted to save the country from a dire situation, and he thought of going abroad.
So when he heard that Ho Chi Minh was running a training course in China, he was extremely excited. So Huang Wenhuan, who was only 20 years old this year, traveled to Guangzhou with full of enthusiasm.
When I first arrived in Guangzhou, it was not smooth due to unfamiliar life and complicated reasons.
Later, with the help of the Communist Party of China, Huang Wenhuan successfully entered the Vietnamese revolutionary training class.
Ho Chi Minh assigned some of the new arrivals to the Whampoa Military Academy for study, while Hoang Van Huan and the other part were assigned to the political training class to cooperate with the work. The part of those who were assigned to the Whampoa Military Academy mainly studied the military aspect of Vietnam. The people in the political training course were specially used by Ho Chi Minh to train the backbone of the Vietnamese revolution.
It is also the experience of living in China for a long time that gives Huang Wenhuan a deep Chinese imprint.
He likes China very much, speaks standard and fluent Chinese, and writes Chinese characters perfectly. He also has a deep friendship with many leaders of our party.
Huang Wenhuan once said in his memoirs: "When I first embarked on the journey to China to find the revolution, I was very nervous but very excited. It's like a person in a desperate situation and there is hope in front of him. ”
During his years in China, Huang Wenhuan went from being a young man with a lot of blood to a Communist fighter who was unwavering in his commitment to communism.
Hoang Van Huan also lived up to Ho Chi Minh's expectations, and he made a great contribution to Vietnam's independence.
France was the victor in World War I, and Vietnam was occupied. But in World War II, Germany became famous in World War I, and the stronger France was defeated by Germany in one fell swoop.
At this time, Vietnam was in a state of fragmentation of various factions, and the Japanese looked at it greedily.
Ho Chi Minh was in Kunming at the time, and in the face of the emergency situation in Vietnam, he immediately convened a meeting.
At the meeting, the revolutionary line for the rise of Vietnam was formulated, and at this time Hoang Van Huan happened to graduate from the political training class.
Ho Chi Minh found Huang Wenhuan and said, "Xiao Huang, you have been in our political training class for so long, and you are very serious about studying. After discussion, we decided that you would go to Vietnam to complete the revolutionary mission. ”
Ho Chi Minh actually hoped that Hoang Van Huan would use what he had learned to devote himself to Vietnam's self-help movement and lead the people to drive the Japanese invaders out of Vietnam.
Huang Wenhuan's expression was immediately serious after hearing this: "Received, I promise to complete the task." ”
Hoang Van Huan was a brave and resourceful man, and under his leadership, Vietnam was finally freed from the slavery of the Japanese invaders and finally achieved independence.
After Japan's surrender, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was established in 1945 when Ho Chi Minh passionately read the Declaration of Independence of Vietnam in Hanoi.
Since Huang Wenhuan has been in China for a long time, he is very experienced in the transition between the two countries. In 1950, Ho Chi Minh reappointed Hoang Van Huan as Vietnam's representative to China, and he was Vietnam's first ambassador to China.
During Hoang Van Huan's tenure as Vietnamese ambassador to China, China and Vietnam had very close contacts. This was the case until 1958, when Hoang Van Huan returned to Vietnam and was appointed vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly and secretary general.
In general, when Ho Chi Minh was still alive, Sino-Vietnamese relations were relatively friendly.
But the good times did not last long, and on September 2, 1969, after the death of President Ho Chi Minh, Le Duan came to power.
Not long after he came to power, the new chairman, Le Duan, began to implement a pro-Soviet and anti-China policy.
Huang Wenhuan was very angry when he heard about the implementation of a pro-Soviet and anti-China policy. He resolutely stood up against it and publicly refuted it many times at the conference. Hoang Van Huan has been in China for so long and knows that China has helped Vietnam a lot. In Huang Wenhuan's heart, China has long been his second hometown.
Li Duan saw that Huang Wenhuan was so opposed, and at first sent someone to persuade him. But repeated persuasion was ineffective. Li Duan looked at Huang Wenhuan and thought to himself: You are toasting and not eating and drinking.
Li Duan wanted to pull Huang Wenhuan **. But Hoang Van Huan has made so many contributions to Vietnam and is deeply loved by the people. Moreover, Huang Wenhuan's influence in Vietnamese politics is still very high, and rashly suppressing Huang Wenhuan may cause public opposition.
Li Duan had a plan: since I can't use unreasonable means head-on, but I have a negative idea.
So this scene appeared: At the Fourth National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1976, Le Duan deprived Hoang Van Huan of most of his posts under the pretext that "Hoang Van Huan is old and frail and should rest more, and is not suitable for leading positions", and only reserved the post of vice chairman for him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Duan is only leaving him with this position with no real power, which is to make an example of chickens and monkeys. If anyone dares to oppose him in the future, they will end up in the same fate as Huang Wenhuan.
Le Duan considered that since Hoang Van Huan had been working in Vietnam for so many years, it was unrealistic to suddenly withdraw from the political scene. Because there are still many important occasions where he needs to appear in public.
So he thought that since he couldn't quit all at once, it would be better to disappear slowly. So he either cut back on his public appearances or cut down on the shots in the newspapers. It's really a matter of doing anything.
Even so, Li Duan is still not at ease. He not only secretly installed *** in Huang Wenhuan's house, but also arranged many soldiers around Huang Wenhuan to monitor. The good name says: to protect the personal safety of the old revolutionaries. In fact, it is naked surveillance.
Soon after, the Le Duan Group organized a so-calledExhibition "Victory over the invaders".。Before the exhibition began, Li Duan asked Huang Wenhuan to come and participate.
How could Huang Wenhuan not know what Li Duan was planning, Li Duan thought: Aren't you on good terms with China, then today I will record your conversation and laughter with the Soviet Union and publish it in the newspaper.
So Huang Wenhuan said: "Chairman, I'm sick and I really can't go."
After hearing this, Li Duan was still aggressive: "You must go today." ”
Seeing that Li Duan was so tough, Huang Wenhuan couldn't help it. But Huang Wenhuan is not a soft persimmon, in order to express his position, Huang Wenhuan wore a Chinese ** suit to attend that day.
His behavior suddenly became the focus of the audience, but it also completely angered Li Duan.
But Huang Wenhuan also left a way back for himself. Because he had no real power in Vietnam and had to watch Le Duan do whatever he wanted and do things that were unfavorable to China, he had the idea of continuing the revolution in another place.
In order to protect himself, Huang Wenhuan finally chose to defect to China, the old place of his revolution.
An opportunity came, in early July 1979, Huang Wenhuan was found to have lung problems.
At that time, the doctor gave a diagnosis of tuberculosis, but the level of medical care in Vietnam was very low at that time. And there is little experience with tuberculosis, and if it is carried out, it may not be complete. So the doctor suggested that Huang Wenhuan go to East Germany**.
Huang Wenhuan was secretly happy when he heard this: This is exactly what I want, isn't this a good opportunity for me to go to China.
As soon as Le Duan heard that Huang Wenhuan, who was hindering him, was leaving Vietnam, he said very happily: "This stubborn old thing can be regarded as leaving." ”
But Le Duan never thought that he would have the idea of leaving Vietnam forever, so Huang Wenhuan's request for medical treatment was approved.
Huang Wenhuan, who received the approval, immediately flew to Berlin. When the plane passed through Pakistan, Huang Wenhuan excused himself for being unwell. The staff saw that he was pale and decided to temporarily conduct ** in the local area for the time being.
So they stayed in a hotel for the time being. After dinner that night, Huang Wenhuan went back to his room to rest.
But he was not sleepy, and his mind was full of plans on how to quickly defect to China.
In the end, Huang Wenhuan decided to go to the Chinese Consulate General in Karachi for help.
So Huang Wenhuan hurriedly got up and went to the embassy, it was already two o'clock in the night, and there were almost no people on the road.
When he arrived at the embassy and saw that the door was closed, Huang Wenhuan was a little worried. But he still went to knock on the door, and to Huang Wenhuan's surprise, after he knocked three times, the people inside opened the door for him.
Since Huang Wenhuan speaks Chinese very well, it is very convenient to communicate. Huang Wenhuan told the staff about his request
When the staff heard this, they thought that the matter should be reported to the Consulate General as soon as possible.
Upon receiving the news, China immediately welcomed Comrade Huang Wenhuan.
Finally, on July 5, Huang Wenhuan arrived in China.
In order to welcome us, our leaders specially went to the airport to greet our old friend.
The news soon spread to Vietnam, and Le Duan was very surprised to learn the news.
Li Duan thought that Huang Wenhuan was slapping himself in the face, so he immediately publicly accused Huang Wenhuan of "treason and defection to China" and removed Huang Wenhuan from all positions.
Hoang Van Huan soon published an article denouncing the Le Duan clique's erroneous line for killing the Vietnamese people
He openly stated that "if we want to maintain peace and stability in Vietnam for a long time, we must connect with the masses and fight resolutely together with the masses to completely defeat the fascist rule of Le Duan." ”
Li Duan was angry when he heard the news: "You are determined that you can't get along with me, so don't think about it." ”
As a result, the Vietnamese side expelled Hoang Van Huan from the party and sentenced him to death.
Huang Wenhuan was not afraid of Li Duan's approach, and he once said in front of the public: "Even if Chairman Li Duan does things absolutely, I will not change my mind." ”
Huang Wenhuan is such an old revolutionary with firm revolutionary convictions, and he has been fighting for the communist revolutionary cause all his life.
In 1991, Huang Wenhuan's already ill physical condition suddenly deteriorated. On May 18, Huang Wenhuan finally died in Beijing due to illness.
Regrettably, at the last moment of his life, he was not able to see the normalization of Sino-Vietnamese relations that he had been longing for all his life.
Shortly after Hoang Van Huan's death, relations between China and Vietnam gradually improved and eventually normalized. I think if Huang Wenhuan can see this picture, he must be at ease under Jiuquan.
Throughout Huang Wenhuan's life, he is an upright patriot.
Even though he left his homeland and came to China because of persecution at home, he always cared about his country and hoped that one day Sino-Vietnamese relations would normalize.
His life was a life of struggle, and he always contributed his strength to Sino-Vietnamese friendship. He is an old friend respected by the Chinese people.
This spirit is very valuable, and it deserves to be learned and respected by each and every one of us.
