On April Fool's Day, New Newspaper spoofed Jiang Hongmei and reported that he was shot.

On April Fool's Day, 1946, Shanghai New Newspaper published a story.

The headline of this news attracted the attention of all readers. -Jiang Hongmei's "One Shot Today". Looking down, this is really not a "title party". The content of the report is that Jiang Hongmei's case has been closed, and Jiang Hongmei himself will be shot today.

This report is written with nose and eyes. It not only eloquently tells the process of the case, but also tells the details of when to shoot. Then, the ten-mile foreign exchange in Shanghai suddenly exploded. People are pointing at each other and scrambling to tell each other!

Who is this Jiang Hongmei? How can anyone be so annoying? In fact, this person is just a modest fairy in the Kuomintang. However, at that time, due to the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Jiang Hongmei made a fortune in the process of acceptance and became a man of the hour in Shanghai fashion.

Before April Fool's Day that year, such a number almost fell. In the final analysis, this is because greed is too great and has aroused public anger. Later, Jiang Hongmei was detained for a period of time, but then, a tripartite joint hearing convened by the military ruled that Jiang Hongmei was not guilty!

In fact, the trial process is more like a one-man show directed and performed by Jiang Hongmei. Jiang Hongmei is the captain and soldier of the Kuomintang Shanghai Gendarmerie. In order to "whitewash" himself, he pretended to let the military detain him first, and then found him innocent through the so-called "judicial procedure"! In this way, Jiang Hongmei's confidence is enough, and the law has ruled that I am innocent. What else do you want?

Jiang Hongmei is guilty and innocent. At that time, as long as everyone with normal IQ in Shanghai knew. So when the result came out, public opinion was in an uproar. Everyone was angry, so the news of the new newspaper appeared.

The public thought the news was true, but it was later discovered that no matter how you asked, you couldn't find the exact place where Jiang Hongmei was shot.

The next day, New Newspaper published another notice telling readers that yesterday's report was an April Fool's joke!

The next development of this incident is even more jaw-dropping.

Shortly after the 3353 joke, the mayor of Shanghai announced that Jiang Hongmei had committed a crime and should be tried by judicial organs, but the military had no right to make a judgment. Therefore, the previous results are invalid. After that, the government will organize relevant personnel to try Jiang Hongmei's case again.

The verdict is also full of twists and turns. First, Jiang Hongmei was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison; But before he began to go to jail, he changed his five-year imprisonment to shooting.

For this roller coaster plot development, Jiang Hongmei was seriously injured before everyone could react.

April Fool's joke proved to be true.

Although unexpected, it is understandable to think about it carefully.

First of all, Xinbao's jokes are not nonsense. During the Republic of China, warlords were in melee and the political situation was dark. There is a fire in people's hearts, but there is nowhere to vent it. Therefore, as the mouthpiece of the masses, newspapers often spoof some unpopular military and political celebrities. For example, someone died suddenly, or someone had an accident and so on. Then, send another notice saying it was just a joke. The best time to make such a joke is April Fool's Day. In a day like 3353, it is helpless to indulge in "spoofing" people you hate. Therefore, jokes like Xinbao were actually traditional at that time.

Secondly, Jiang Hongmei's greed is no exception. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang made great contributions to the national disaster in the process of accepting the Anti-Japanese War, and people's grievances boiled. It can be said that it was "normal" for the Kuomintang to have greed and no officials at that time, but it was "abnormal" to have no greed. Therefore, Jiang Hongmei was only a microcosm of the Kuomintang at that time. Within the Kuomintang, there are countless "Jiang Hongmei". No matter whether the new newspaper makes fun of Jiang Hongmei or other senior Kuomintang officials, once thoroughly investigated, corruption is almost certain.

Is it just a coincidence that the Kuomintang government later investigated corruption in Jiang Hongmei? Not exactly. The corruption of the Kuomintang caused public outrage. At that time, in order to alleviate public anger, some actions were needed. On the other hand, Jiang Hongmei, who has been criticized for a long time in Shanghai, angered many Kuomintang politicians because of his appetite, which not only made the people disgusted, but also made the Kuomintang very uncomfortable.

Therefore, the demise of Jiang Hongmei is only a matter of time. Bao's new 3353 joke is unexpected and understandable.
