In September 1945, the surrender ceremony of Japanese militarism in the Chinese theater was officially launched, and the Japanese foreign minister personally signed his name on the surrender document. After that, Japanese troops in various places began to surrender one after another under the orders of the emperor. The major Chinese cities that had been invaded were finally given a chance to be liberated. Squadrons in various places began to accept the surrender of the Japanese troops and began to rebuild the city.
However, in the process of recovering Hong Kong, a strange thing happened. A surrendered Japanese prisoner identified an undercover Japanese agent named Saburo Suzuki among the guerrillas who interrogated him. The Japanese prisoner was hoping to get a better living by reporting Suzuki. Unexpectedly, this "undercover agent" stood up generously and said: "I am originally Chinese, my name is Chen Minxue!" I am a soldier of the Dongjiang Column! ”
Why was Chen Minxue called Suzuki Saburo by the Japanese army? What kind of legendary revolutionary story did he have?
Click to pay attention and learn about Chen Minxue's life together.
When a teenager encounters atrocities, hatred is as deep as the sea.
In 1929, in the border town of Meizhou, Guangdong, Chen Minxue was successfully born. Later, Chen Minxue went to Shenzhen with his parents to make a living. The Chen family runs a hotel business in the local area and lives a relatively wealthy life. Originally, according to common sense, Chen Minxue would have a happy and joyful childhood. But everything changed because of the arrival of the Japanese army.
In October 1938, after achieving good results in northern China, the Japanese army began to advance from the south again, realizing a two-way attack. The Japanese troops heading south landed in the Daya Bay area of Shenzhen and began a bloody **. In order to achieve their goal of feeding the war with war and destroying the foundation of the survival of the Chinese masses. The Japanese army began to carry out a series of "three lights" activities centered on Shenzhen.
In addition to the three-light activities carried out by the army units in the city and the surrounding areas, Japanese fighters would also launch mouth=air raids from time to time to blow up the available buildings in Shenzhen.
The hotel on which the Chen family relied for their survival was completely destroyed in the air raid, and the Chen family's economy was cut off. Because the family no longer had the funds to send their children to school, Chen Minxue, who was only 9 years old, dropped out of school. Dropping out of school is not the worst situation for children, and the first thing they do when they wake up alive is nothing else, thinking about how not to starve.
In order to fill his stomach, this child, who is far from an adult, often brings his siblings with him and asks for food on the road. At that time, almost all Chinese were in a difficult situation, and not many people could get extra food. Perhaps sometimes, someone will see that the Chen siblings are pitiful and will give them a paltry ration.
But in most cases, the Chen siblings are unable to complete the task of begging. In the end, Chen Minxue's younger brother and sister were starved to death in that tragic era, and he was the only one who survived tenaciously.
In addition to his younger siblings who died due to the Japanese invasion, one of his relatives also died tragically at the hands of the Japanese army. This uncle could not stand the atrocities committed by the Japanese army to the Chinese compatriots, so he took the initiative to confront the Japanese army. But in the end, because of the difference in equipment and physical fitness, my uncle was finally captured by the Japanese army and stoned to death with the butt of a gun.
Such a deep feud in the sea of blood filled the heart of Chen Minxue, who was still a minor, with the flame of revenge. And what is even more unexpected is that this young child has already learned the truth of "don't be tough" in the tragedy of his family. Although his heart was full of anger, he was able to suppress it reasonably and use another way to retaliate against the Japanese army.
After the Japanese army had been purging the Shenzhen area one after another, they began to enslave Chen Minxue, the few remaining Chinese, and carry out slave education. They hoped to change the minds of these young children and make them firmly on the side of the Japanese army. For this reason, the Japanese army did not hesitate to threaten the use of force to these children to learn Japanese and receive Japanese ideological education.
Most of the children showed strong resistance and dissatisfaction in the process, but Chen Minxue was very abnormal and actively cooperated with various activities of the Japanese army.
It stands to reason that Chen Minxue should be full of hatred for the Japanese army, and he should definitely be one of the most fierce resistance. However, he never showed any resistance in the process, and even actively studied Japanese to make himself as proficient as possible. The children didn't understand what he wanted to do, and began to accuse him of being an out-and-out traitor behind his back.
After two years of hard study, he had mastered the Japanese language and was able to answer the Japanese language fluently. So he decisively ended his studies and began to volunteer as a translator for the Japanese army.
This kind of behavior has attracted the criticism of many people, who regard it as a lackey of the Japanese army. But they know that this young man, who has a deep enmity with the Japanese army, has long been prepared in his heart to take revenge on the Japanese army.
turned around and became a "traitor", stealthily helping the war of resistance.
Chen Minxue's family suffered from Japanese invasion and lost many relatives in the process. At a young age, he chose to become an interpreter for the Japanese army, what method will he use to retaliate against the Japanese army?
After becoming a translator for the Japanese army, Chen Minxue worked diligently and soon gained the trust of the Japanese army. In order to show the importance of this little translator, the Japanese army even gave him a Japanese name - Suzuki Saburo. Since then, the hateful little Chinese boy has disappeared and has been replaced by a scheming young translator.
In fact, the reason why Saburo Suzuki was very cooperative with the enslavement education of the Japanese army was because of his own inner calculations. The death of his uncle made him understand that it would never work to fight the Japanese army by brute force. If you want to destroy the enemy as much as possible, you have to penetrate into the enemy without them noticing, and eliminate all the enemies by disintegrating them internally.
Entering the Japanese army as a translator allowed him to come into contact with a large number of Japanese secrets. Once this information is leaked to China's anti-Japanese armed forces, it can deal a serious blow to the Japanese armed forces.
Such a plan was much more cost-effective than having a boy in his teens face off against the Japanese army.
Because the actions of Suzuki Saburo, a "traitor", were too conspicuous, the Dongjiang Column, which was carrying out the anti-Japanese struggle in Guangdong and Hong Kong, also paid attention to this half-grown child. For them, this half-grown child is very malleable and can develop into the inner line of our army among the enemy.
Therefore, the Dongjiang Column found him before he became an interpreter for the Japanese army and established secret contact with him. In this way, the young "Suzuki Saburo" successfully stayed by the side of the invading Japanese army as an undercover agent of the Dongjiang Column. Because of the relationship between "Suzuki Saburo", the Dongjiang Column knew the movements of the Japanese army in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other places well. In daily operations, the Dongjiang Column often used the news of "Suzuki Saburo" to launch precise strikes against the Japanese army.
In addition to quietly providing some vital intelligence for the Dongjiang Column, he will also take the initiative to steal the *** and material supplies of the Japanese troops. These materials often appeared in the hands of the Dongjiang Column after disappearing for a few days and were used by the anti-Japanese puppet forces. The Japanese army had no clue about the loss of these small parts of the materiel, and did not know where to start.
Despite this, "Suzuki Saburo" secretly provided intelligence and materials to the Dongjiang Column, which also took a great risk. If he was not careful, he would be noticed by the Japanese army and die on the road of revolution.
On one occasion, while leaving the Japanese unit in civilian clothes, he was caught by a Japanese unit on patrol. Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were about to kill him, he finally shouted in Japanese when he was in danger: "I am the interpreter of the headquarters, if you kill me, you will not be able to explain to your superiors!" ”
After listening to his words, the Japanese patrol team was also a little overwhelmed for a while, and finally had to release him safely. Although this experience, it seems that there is no great dedication. But many years later, he still sighs when he recalls it in person. If, after **, he hesitates a little and does not immediately say his identity, I am afraid that what awaits him is the fate of being in a different place.
In order to better hide his identity, "Suzuki Saburo" even cut off contact with his biological parents and became a well-known traitor in Hong Kong.
Despite this layer of identity concealment, with the Dongjiang Column winning many battles, the Japanese army also sensed that something was wrong. The Japanese army began a large-scale inventory of personnel within the country. In the end, "Saburo Suzuki", who was suspected of committing a major crime, was imprisoned in the interrogation room of the Japanese army. This 15-year-old translator faced severe torture by the Japanese army and refused to admit his undercover identity. In the end, the Japanese finally released him after finding nothing.
Thirty years of grievances, a lifetime of party members.
Relying on his own wisdom and ability, "Saburo Suzuki" went undercover in the Japanese army for several years. Because of his status as a translator, he mainly came into contact with high-ranking officers of the Japanese army. Therefore, most of the middle and lower rank Japanese officers and ordinary Japanese soldiers did not know about his background. Many people even believe that he is a Japanese boy who is well versed in Chinese culture.
In 1945, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression came to an end. As the Japanese foreign minister flew to China and handed over the instrument of surrender to China, Japan's war of aggression against China was a complete failure.
Japanese troops all over China began to surrender one after another to the surrounding squadrons and began to leave China. In Hong Kong, however, the surrender activities were mainly carried out by our army's Dongjiang Column. In the course of this process, our army will also interrogate all captured prisoners of war, and after obtaining the corresponding information, they will be expelled from Chinese territory.
During an interrogation of Japanese prisoners of war, "Saburo Suzuki" followed the leaders of the Dongjiang Column to the interrogation room. The Japanese prisoners of war saw the "Saburo Suzuki" standing behind the guerrillas and decided that this "Japanese" had defected to the Chinese and became traitors. So the Japanese soldiers pointed at him and yelled: "Saburo Suzuki, you damned traitor!" ”
Seeing that the Japanese army in front of him was so excited, "Saburo Suzuki" slowly stood up, and he solemnly said in front of all the guerrillas: "I am not a traitor!" I was originally Chinese! My name is Chen Minxue, and I belong to the Dongjiang Column! The Japanese soldier who was cursing Chen Minxue was stunned on the spot, shocked by the news and speechless.
Who would have thought that the 10-year-old boy in front of him would be an undercover agent of the anti-Japanese armed forces, lurking alone in the enemy camp for several years.
After the surrender of the Japanese army, Chen Minxue returned to the organization as a full member of the Dongjiang Column. But not long after returning to the army, Chen Minxue unexpectedly fell ill with a serious illness. Because of this sudden illness, he had to temporarily leave the army and return to his hometown to recuperate.
The leaders of the Dongjiang Column were very open-minded and specially granted them a one-month long vacation. But he didn't expect it, not long after he returned to his hometown, the main force of the Dongjiang Column received an order from his superiors and began to move north. Because he was recuperating from illness and was still a minor, he was left behind by the organization.
After recovering from his injury, he began to be attacked by the Kuomintang because of the gradually deteriorating relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Kuomintang, he had no choice but to take refuge in Hong Kong from his hometown of Shenzhen again. When he came to Hong Kong, he continued his study again.
After that, he was admitted to the Cultural University of Hong Kong, majoring in English. During this time, he was exposed to the art of photography, which he made a living after graduation. Because when he participated in the revolution, he was too young, so Chen Minxue's identity in the party was not understood. In his opinion, who was only a dozen years old at the time, as long as he joined the Dongjiang Column and helped to do things, he had already joined the party. But in fact, he only joined the Dongjiang Column, and did not really join the party.
And his deeds of fighting in the Japanese army for several years were kept secret by only a few leaders of the Dongjiang Column. After the transfer of the main force of the Dongjiang Column, the relevant deeds of Chen Minxue were also buried in history. In addition, after fleeing to Hong Kong, he lost contact with the party organization. Therefore, after returning to Hong Kong, no one can Chen Minxue ever make glorious deeds.
On the contrary, as a former Japanese translator, many people who hated the Japanese also secretly wrote down this translator. Therefore, in the 60s, many people who knew the translator made him the target of their struggle. For decades, he has always been infamous as a "traitor lackey".
It wasn't until the end of the 70s that the former little hero was finally cleared of his name. Our party not only restored the reputation of this former young hero, but also officially approved Chen Minxue's party joining ceremony in 1988, fulfilling his lifelong wish. At the age of 58, he sighed: 'My life has been bumpy and tortuous! Although he has been wronged for 30 years, he has no regrets about being able to join the party in his life! ”
After his retirement, this lonely and timid hero did not stay idle, he actively devoted himself to community building, and continued to work hard for the prosperity and development of the motherland. At the same time, he also served as the liaison officer of the Dongjiang Friendship Association, liaising with each other and delivering information to the veteran comrades of the Dongjiang Column scattered in various places.
Although Chen Minxue's deeds are not as glamorous as the founding generals, he used his courage and perseverance to show the world the belief of countless Chinese people in the War of Resistance. Although he has not been a member for most of his life, he has used his life practice to show his true colors.
