In 1949, on the wall newspaper of our army's war criminals management center in Jinan, an anti-poem mocking the CCP's liberation of Nanjing appeared. Surprisingly, however, the correctional officers did not take it down, but were amazed by the poem.
The poet is a Kuomintang lieutenant general**, speaking of **, it is a legendary figure of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. As he said when he first entered the Gongdelin:"**It's my cousin, **it's my superior, **it's my teacher and introducer to join the party, **it's in the same class as me. ”
The former ** was also a hot-blooded young man who devoted himself to the revolution, his father was friends with Sun Yat-sen, and he was exposed to revolutionary ideas since he was a child. **Still ***'s cousin, but unlike ***, ** has not suffered much, and he can't stand grievances, and he doesn't know how to be flexible and mediate his emotions. This also laid the groundwork for his later fate.
* met in the later revolutionary movement *** and joined the Communist Party. Later, he applied for the Whampoa Military Academy, and became the same period as **, and once had a fight with ** because of the gun misfire.
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, he became a senior general of the Red Army with his outstanding ability. At the height of the limelight, ** governed 23 counties in eastern Sichuan. In 1931, **betrayed by a traitor**, he was unyielding and kept secrets in prison. Later, he was successfully released from prison after being rescued by the underground party.
But after being released from prison, he was misunderstood by the secretary of the provincial party committee and gave him a one-year probation in the party. The young and vigorous ** was not convinced, and took his wife to Shanghai to find *** judges. But at that time, the party organization in Shanghai was destroyed by the traitor Gu Shunzhang, and ** disappeared.
The East Sichuan Provincial Party Committee also expelled their husband and wife from the party on the grounds of ** this exodus. The **, who was smooth sailing in the party, did not suffer such grievances, he was young and vigorous, and without making any excuses, he drew a clear line with the Communist Party, joined the camp of the Kuomintang, and became a subordinate of the military commander Dai Li.
During his days as a military commander, he was keen to study the international situation and military theory, and in 1936 he famously made a prediction: "There must be a war between Japan and the United States." ”
At that time, there were still 5 years before the "Pearl Harbor incident", which shows that the military level of the first is not bad. It's a pity that because of his momentary popularity, he chose to go against his former beliefs and embarked on the evil path step by step.
In 1949, ** was captured in the Huaihai Battle and entered the war criminals management center in Jinan for ideological reform. **Seeing his former classmates, relatives and friends become the leaders of the CCP, but he became a prisoner, such an identity gap made him difficult to accept for a while.
After that, the People's Liberation Army quickly crossed the Yangtze River and liberated Nanjing. Filled with indignation in his heart, he wrote that anti-poem:
It is a pity that the south of the Yangtze River flew to the British, and the river crossed millions of soldiers. The poor jade lion is here, and the moon in front of the palace is unknown.Wang Yaowu, who was also in Jinan, advised him to quickly take down the poem so as not to set himself on fire. But ** stalk the neck, just no. Unexpectedly, this anti-poem was posted for 7 days, and no correctional staff came to expose it, and no one looked for the stubble.
The People's Liberation Army has entered Nanjing, and the defeat of the Kuomintang has been decided, so why bother with a few complaints from the generals of the defeated army? This is the magnanimity and mind that a winner should have.
In 1950, he was transferred to the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center. At first, he was very resistant to ideological reform, he thought that he did not betray the Communist Party when he left the party, nor did he kill Communist Party members, what is there to regret? His stubbornness also became the reason why he repeatedly postponed the amnesty.
* is stubborn in his thoughts, but Gong Delin takes care of him meticulously. **Suffering from lymph gland tuberculosis, because he was busy with the war, he was delayed**, and when he arrived at Gongdelin, the situation was already very serious. The management office sent someone to take care of him, performed surgery on him, and the nutrition for his body was the best, and slowly raised his body.
My body has improved, and my mind has gradually changed. ** Rekindled his confidence in the Communist Party, and he also actively participated in the study and education of the management institute to review his own crimes.
In 1975, the people announced an amnesty for all the generals who were still in Gongdelin, and also ended their 26 years of war criminal reform.
On the day of the amnesty, the old man was full of mixed feelings, and he was ashamed of his stubborn behavior in the past, and wrote down a poem of seven laws:
It's really hard for the stubborn stone to nod his head, and a few nightmares gather in his heart. The defeat on the battlefield left lonely anger, and the wildfire burned the body and waited for leisure.This poem is both an answer to the anti-poem of the past and a microcosm of his last life. This old man, who has gone through ups and downs, finally saw through everything and found the true direction.Jin Shi is the sword of truth, and the spring breeze and rain are touching.
I regretted Jiangnan tears back then, and I regretted the sky after waking up.
