The Chinese Communist Party agent was imprisoned for 14 years. He escaped from prison and ran thousands of miles back home. His wife didn’t recognize him and asked: Who are you?

In 1947, a thin middle-aged man came to Yanggu County, Shandong Province. He walked faster and faster and walked into Hanzhuang Village, Shifo Town.

His name is Han Zidong, who was imprisoned by the enemy for fourteen years. He is the only revolutionary who successfully escaped from the secret prison of Bai Gongguan.

Pushing open the door, Han Zidong finally saw his wife. That familiar figure was the biggest motivation for him to live.

Han Zidong has been tortured by the enemy for fourteen years, and his appearance has undergone tremendous changes. He was a handsome young man when he left, but he was skinny when he returned.

The wife learned fourteen years ago that her husband had been "shot". For many years, she had to take care of the elderly and raise her daughter. Her life was miserable.

The wife suddenly saw Han Zidong, so she asked: "Who are you?"

The content of this article is Han Zidong's heroic experience, her husband for fourteen years Always devoted to the Party, his wife has been supporting the elderly and the young for fourteen years.

The glorious family encountered the miserable life of the old society. In the past fourteen years, the couple withstood the test and torture of the great era.

All of this started in 1908. Han Zidong was born in Yanggu County, Shandong Province. His father was a small business vendor, selling red dates, a specialty of his hometown, all the way to the misty Jiangnan. .

This is a traditional, half-farmer and half-business family.

When Han Zidong first remembered, his father and uncle had not yet separated. The family had thirty acres of cultivated land, which was rented to nearby tenants.

In 1915, the family was allocated land. The land allocated to Han Zidong's family could barely feed the family.

Han Zidong was not tall enough to bundle firewood, so he followed his brother up the mountain to cut firewood until 1920. Because a new school nearby opened, he chose to study at the school.

When he was eighteen years old, Han Zidong entered Liaocheng Provincial No. 2 Middle School, which was in the last year of the first national *** cooperation.

In school, Han Zidong joined the revolution and began to engage in the workers' movement, fighting for the interests of the poor class.

In November 1926, Han Zidong was sent to Zibo Coal Mine to engage in the labor movement. Since he represents coal miners, he will naturally offend the vested interests of the coal mines and be resented by the top management of the mines.

In addition, Han Zidong showed obvious left leaning, so he offended the right-leaning senior KMT officials and was randomly placed on a charge.

The police had written down a list of people to be killed and wanted to kill Han Zidong and other members of the labor movement. Fortunately, someone tipped off the news in advance, so Han Zidong was able to escape from the clutches of the devil in advance.

The next four years were marked by the bloody KMT split, and Han Zidong stayed in his hometown of Yanggu County.

In 1930, Han Zidong saw the warlords fighting and the mountains and rivers shattered, so he wanted to enroll in school again and wanted to save the country through industry and economy.

So he went all the way to China University in Peiping and studied in the Department of Economics.

Because his family could not afford enough tuition, Han Zidong worked part-time while studying in school.

The place where he works is called Chunqiu Bookstore. It seems to be a place where books are sold, but it is actually a secret stronghold for agents of the Communist Party of China. Han Zidong is diligent and studious, and has great ambitions to save the country and the people. So it quickly attracted the attention of the agents.

There are two gentlemen in the bookstore who often buy books and often chat with Han Zidong. They pay great attention to examining Han Zidong's political leanings.

Han Zidong felt that the two gentlemen who came to the bookstore were mysterious and very kind to him. They often talked about state affairs until late at night.

In the spring of 1933, Han Zidong was absorbed by the underground party and became a covert front agent. For the next ten years, he walked in the tiger's den and the wolf's den.

Any qualified underground party agent, especially members of the Special Branch, is dancing with the wolf, wearing white skin and carrying a red heart.

Relying on his status as a student, Han Zidong successfully broke into the "Blue Shirt Club" of the Kuomintang and obtained a large amount of intelligence.

Speaking of the Blue Clothes Club, it is famous within the Kuomintang, headed by He Zhonghan, one of the Three Heroes of Huangpu. Dai Li became the director of Lixingshe, one of the Lanyi Clubs, responsible for intelligence work, and began to rise to prominence.

The Blue Clothes Club advocated ideological control and required absolute loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek. Because they deliberately imitated the characteristics of fascism, they all wore blue jackets and yellow trousers, so they were called the Blue Clothes Club.

With his outstanding abilities, Han Zidong was at home in the Lanyi Club and made outstanding contributions to the party organization during this period.

The underground party to which Han Zidong belonged was strictly speaking a member of the Peking Special Branch. It was founded by Chen Geng, one of the Three Heroes of Huangpu, and was directly led by Zhou Enlai.

In the autumn of 1934, Han Zidong learned that his mother was ill, so he asked for leave and returned to Shandong.

After the underground party learned of the incident, they arranged two tasks for Han Zidong.

First, inquire about the number and location of the Shandong Kuomintang troops, and pay attention to the mobilization of the Shandong National Army.

Second, when you return to Peiping, how to contact the underground party again, you must be familiar with the new contact codes.

Han Zidong went home for a while. When he came to Peiping again, he found that there was a problem with the password and realized that the situation had changed.

Sure enough, because a traitor appeared in Beiping Teko, a large number of underground party members were arrested, and Peiping Teko was attacked by the enemy.

Throughout the entire history of the Chinese Communist Party’s underground espionage war, the losses suffered by Peking Special Branch were one of the largest losses in the history of the Chinese Communist Party’s underground espionage war.

On November 6, a large number of Kuomintang agents dispatched, took away the young Han Zidong, and imprisoned him at the headquarters of the Third Military Police Regiment of the Kuomintang.

According to Han Zidong, there were many ways for spies to arrest people at that time:

First, in the middle of the night when everything was quiet, they forcibly broke down the door to arrest people. If any of the neighbors dared to speak, , will also be taken away together.

Second, the spies keep a close eye on the action routes of underground party members. After identifying the opportunity, they rush up, grab both arms, and then raise the gun to the back of the heart.

Third, the spies went directly to the streets to declare martial law, not allowing anyone to enter or exit, and then checked the citizens one by one.

Han Zidong was in the Blue Clothes Club, so he naturally knew the methods of the spies. Although he was in prison after his arrest, his red heart was shining hot and he would never give in to the enemy.

The Kuomintang jailer in charge of the interrogation used whips and tiger stools to beat Han Zidong with bruises all over his body, hoping to learn more secrets about Peking Special Branch from Han Zidong.

Furthermore, because Han Zidong broke into the Kuomintang Blue Clothes Club, which angered He Zhonghan and others, they arranged for jailers to "take care" of Han Zidong in order to pry out the information in Han's belly.

Because Han Zidong refused to cooperate, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and was imprisoned as a so-called "political prisoner."

At the beginning, Han Zidong was imprisoned in Peiping. Because the Japanese invaders were eyeing North China, and because the Kuomintang was worried about the Chinese Communists going to rescue him, Han Zidong was transferred to Nanjing.

As the situation changed, Han Zidong was transferred to Yiyang, and finally to Bai Gongguan, Chongqing.

According to Han Zidong, he had forgotten the warmth of the sun because he had not gone out for six consecutive years.

Speaking of Bai Gongguan, it is a secret prison of the military commander, specially used to detain what they consider to be high-level "prisoners", such as the Xiaoluobotou family and Liao Chengzhi.

Regarding the history of Bai Gongguan, I will have time to write an article another day, but this article will only talk about how Han Zidong escaped from prison.

From beginning to end, Han Zidong refused to admit that he was an underground party agent. He always told the Kuomintang agents that you arrested the wrong person.

Some people always wonder, after an agent is arrested, in order to avoid being tortured, why not provide false information to confuse the enemy?

As everyone knows, if anyone admits that he is an agent or provides false information, it proves that you have real information in your belly, which will only invite more cruel treatment from the enemy.

For Han Zidong, the best way is to cry out for injustice and not admit that he is an underground party agent.

According to his recollection, the first thing those imprisoned in the secret prison of Bai Gongguan did was "forget themselves."

The agents will take away all the "prisoner's" personal belongings, inspect them, replace them with new ones from top to bottom, and then give them a code name, such as "1169" or "2267".

In order to prevent the patriots in Bai Mansion from gathering, the spies lied and said that imported bugs were installed in the prison. Han Zidong searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it, so he guessed that the agent might be lying.

Since Han Zidong was imprisoned, he has been thinking about how to escape from the iron prison. He was deliberately unkempt and made some unreasonable actions, so the agents believed that Han Zidong had a mental problem due to being detained for a long time.

Over time, when the agents called Han Zidong, they no longer called him by his code name, but "crazy old man".

In fact, Han Zidong is not old, but he looks very haggard due to being tortured for a long time.

And from this, it can be seen that the agents relaxed their vigilance towards Han Zidong, laying the groundwork for future escapes.

The special agent in charge of buying vegetables asked Han Zidong to follow behind him to carry the pole in order to be lazy at work.

These agents believed that Chongqing was the capital of the Kuomintang, and the streets were full of soldiers and police. In addition, Han Zidong was from Shandong and was unfamiliar with Chongqing, so it was impossible to escape.

Every time when buying groceries, several spies were walking in front, followed by an orderly. Han Zidong was walking in the middle of the team, carrying a pole.

As everyone knows, Han Zidong's "crazyness" is all fake. Every time he goes out with the agents to purchase daily necessities, he will hide a knife in his waist and look for opportunities to escape from Chongqing.

When the agent buys groceries, he will let Han Zidong hold the money, which saves time, effort and worry. They believe that vendors in the market would never dare to deceive people from Bai Gongguan, and the prices must be fair.

Han Zidong’s knife became sharper and sharper, and the agents became more and more at ease with him.

Fifth, he was rescued by many kind-hearted people one after another

On August 18, 1947, Han Zidong went to a nearby market to buy vegetables with the spies again.

When they walked to the downtown area, the agents went to play cards, while Han Zidong and the orderlies were waiting outside the casino.

Han Zidong seized the opportunity. He took out all the money he had and asked the orderly to buy watermelons, while he sat lazily at the door.

When the orderly saw that it was profitable and could get kickbacks, he took the money and left, and the money became Han Zidong's life money.

Taking this opportunity, Han Zidong opened the fan and placed it next to the pole, pretending that he would be back soon after leaving, and then turned around and left the downtown area.

By the time the agent reacted, Han Zidong had already escaped far away. It was impossible to catch up, so he could only report it cautiously.

The group of people in the military command, or the group in the Secrecy Bureau, immediately became furious when they learned that the "prisoners" in the Bai Mansion had escaped.

Group after group of spies rushed to the streets of Chongqing to hunt down Han Zidong. Shenzui sent ten more spy cars to track Han Zidong along the route he might take.

The military dog ??smelled Han Zidong's scent and chased him to the riverside. Looking at the wide Jialing River, Han Zidong had long since disappeared.

And where did Han Zidong go?

After Han Zidong escaped to the river, he met a kind boatman and asked him to hide in a awning.

The boatman drove away quickly and took Han Zidong to a safe place before the two said goodbye.

Han Zidong changed his clothes and walked for a whole day. At dusk, he encountered a vicious dog that bit his calf bloody.

At night, Han Zidong looked at the unfamiliar mountain city. He couldn't tell the difference between south, east, north and west, and he didn't know where to go.

When Han Zidong was lost, he met a kind-hearted old man selling pickles and advised him to walk along the river, maybe he could avoid being chased.

When Han Zidong was in Bai Gongguan, he heard from the comrades around him that if he could escape, he would go to northern Sichuan, where our party's guerrillas were.

Han Zidong traveled under the stars and at night, trying to avoid talking to people along the way, fearing that his accent would reveal his identity.

On the way, he met a kind-hearted cargo ship owner who was willing to take him out of the city.

After going through many difficulties and dangers, Han Zidong arrived in Yichang, Hubei Province. When he checked into the hotel, he asked the shopkeeper to help him apply for a pass.

I was arrested again by the Kuomintang police in Hubei because my pass was blurry and could not be used.

Fortunately, a kind-hearted hotel owner came to rescue Han Zidong and escaped from the police station.

The boss suggested to Han Zidong that the closer he was to the liberated area, the easier it would be to be suspected.

So Han Zidong returned to Yichang and looked for a new route to the liberated area. When he was crossing the river on the way, he was almost washed away by the flood. Fortunately, he hugged a piece of driftwood and saved his life.

A merchant crossing the river saw Han Zidong's pity, so he took him across the river and found a small shop to dry his wet clothes.

Han Zidong had just gone to bed at night, and two Kuomintang soldiers insisted on staying in the hotel. Because there were no beds in the hotel, they slept on either side of Han Zidong.

After asking, I found out that the soldier was forcibly recruited and had just escaped.

Han Zidong confessed his identity and was recognized by the two soldiers, and the three of them embarked on the road to escape together.

After going through hardships and dangers, Han Zidong fled all the way to Xuchang, Henan, and finally found the friends he was familiar with back then.

A friend quickly helped and found a job as a chef for Han Zidong in Xuchang so that he could try to get a pass.

After more than thirty days, Han Zidong finally obtained the pass and bought a train ticket to Huaxian County.

In the car, I learned that Huaxian County was strictly investigating, so Han Zidong found an excuse to get off the car and walked through the wilderness to the liberated area.

Sleeping in the open, Han Zidong kept walking on foot. After walking for several days, he picked up a slogan in the liberated area and realized that the liberated area was very close to him.

As the sun rose in the east, Han Zidong was exhausted and walking in a strange village. From a distance, he saw militiamen, carrying guns and bullets, posting slogans.

The militiamen also saw Han Zidong, so they came up to check.

Both sides explained their identities. The militiamen were very happy and Han Zidong was very excited.

Only then did I know that this was Gengfan Village, Weinan County, the Liberated Area, and it was already November.

The local Communist Party members quickly arranged for Han Zidong to stay and rest. This was the most beautiful sleep Han Zidong had had in more than ten years.

Then again, Han Zidong’s escape along the way is very complicated. The author has simplified the above part as much as possible, otherwise it would not be finished in tens of thousands of words.

After investigation, the party organization believed that Han Zidong had stayed in the enemy's prison for fourteen years, adhered to the organization's secrets, and was an outstanding Communist Party member.

Furthermore, the Bai Mansion is a secret prison, and Han Zidong is the only person who escaped alive, carrying important historical significance on his shoulders.

The party organization asked Han Zidong, what are its requirements?

Han Zidong said: "I only hope to live for a few more decades to see the collapse of the Chiang Dynasty and the establishment of socialism."

At this time, let’s look at Han Zidong’s hometown of Yang Valley County.

When Han Zidong was imprisoned, fourteen years ago, through hard work, his father already owned more than 60 acres of land, as well as a cow and a camel.

After Han Zidong was imprisoned, his father became seriously ill and died of depression because he was worried about his son.

My elder brother has been farming and running the family, but since his father passed away, the family business has gradually declined.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, his younger brother joined the Anti-Japanese War and was brutally killed by the county magistrate.

In the eyes of the whole family, Han Zidong has been "dead" for a long time, and now his younger brother has also been brutally murdered. The mother has lost her son, is mentally traumatized, and is seriously ill in bed.

Because traitors always come to extort and rob, most of the family property has been taken away, making the whole family's life even more difficult.

In that turbulent era, Han Zidong and his younger brother both received a good education. They were patriotic, passionate, and loyal.

The father originally thought that his two sons would succeed in their studies and not be bullied when settling accounts, but no one expected that the two sons would leave home one after another to fight for the future of the nation.

The family members learned early that Han Zidong had been "shot", so they advised Han Zidong's wife Wang Yuling to remarry and find a good family to take care of their children.

But Wang Yuling could not forget Han Zidong, so she took her daughter to honor her mother-in-law and did not leave the Han family.

Not long after the birth of daughter Han Xiurong, her father was arrested and imprisoned.

Life became increasingly difficult. Wang Yuling took care of her children and took care of her elderly. For the past fourteen years, her life had been miserable.

When Han Zidong returned to his hometown, he hurried home. The ones who had supported him in these years were his wife, daughter, father, mother, brother, and younger brother...

The village is still the same village, but Han Zidong has suffered fourteen years of torture, so he is much older than his peers, like a neatly dressed old man.

From Bai Gongguan in Chongqing to Yanggu County in Shandong Province, Han Zidong’s blood and tears stained the thousands of miles of journey.

Han Zidong also knew that things and people have changed, so when he opened the door of a familiar home, he asked: "I want to ask you about someone, may I ask... is Han Zidong back?"

So he was called Zhidong because that was his original name.

Wang Yuling was shocked, so she asked: "Who are you? I don't know you. Zhidong has been dead for a long time. Get out quickly!"

Han Zidong will never be seen again. Unable to hold back his tears, he pointed at his face and said, "Look who I am, take a closer look."

His wife exclaimed: "You...are you...Zhidong?"

The couple hugged each other and cried heartbreakingly. Wang Yuling had imagined countless times that her husband would knock on the door one day, and now her dream has come true.

Daughter Han Xiurong heard something moving outside, so she opened the door and saw her mother crying, and her father Han Zidong, who looked old.

Han Zidong hurriedly walked over and asked, looking at his own flesh and blood, his eyes red from crying.

Han Xiurong seemed a little scared, because in her previous life, she was both familiar and unfamiliar with her father. What was familiar was that she missed him day and night, but what was unfamiliar was that she had no impression of him in her mind.

When his wife Wang Yuling said that this is your father, Han Xiurong was stunned for a while and suddenly fainted.

Because Han Xiurong has been so envious of families with fathers in recent years, and has imagined countless times that she also has a protective father.

In 1958, Han Zidong served as deputy secretary of the Guiyang Municipal Party Committee. In April 1979, the government built a tile-roofed house for his family.

In 1985, Han Zidong retired. He went to Bai Mansion again and donated one of his pillowcases to the Hongyan Soul Exhibition Hall, which was hand-sewed by the mother of "Little Carrot Head" .

It turns out that "Little Luobotou"'s mother learned that Han Zidong was going to escape from prison, so she sewed a pillowcase with her own hands and asked Little Luobotou to take it with her and give it to Han Zidong.

Now it is a national first-class cultural relic, and readers can see it in the Hongyan Soul Exhibition Hall.

Postscript:

Han Zidong recounted the disaster in the prison cell that year. He said that Bai Mansion was like a living tomb. He didn’t know whether it was night or day outside. He could only hear the fireworks outside. , only to know that it is another year.

On May 19, 1992, Han Zidong died in Guiyang due to illness and failed to save his life. He closed his eyes forever at the age of 84.

Han Zidong is an important witness to the history of Bai Gongguan and a model figure of Chinese character and ambition. His heroic spirit has not yet left and will be carried forward by future generations. ?
