As a Kuomintang military reunification agent, in the first half of his life, he used the name of Yang Jinxing to commit bloodshed and enjoy all the glory; in the second half of his life, he used the name of Yang Dafa and lived incognito, just to survive.
There are two lives in one life, and behind the scenes lies the story of a villain who succeeded in his ambition, ran away after his backer fell, and finally fell victim to on the spot.
Yang Jinxing
In 1949, the Kuomintang withdrew to Taiwan. However, the Kuomintang’s evil deeds were too numerous to describe, and it was impossible to let things go with their departure.
In order to give an explanation to those dead revolutionary heroes, New China spared no effort to arrest the remnants of the Kuomintang on the mainland, and Yang Jinxing was one of the targets.
As an executioner with blood on his hands, how did Yang Jinxing escape arrest at that time and still serve as a village cadre in the village and hide for many years? Finally, how was he discovered?
Trial in the Sun
On May 16, 1958, the Chongqing Intermediate People's Court held a trial meeting for Yang Jinxing. The venue was set up in the Working People's Cultural Palace and held in the open air.
There was a huge crowd of people at the scene. Some people yelled angrily, cursing him for his deserved punishment and his wolfish ambition; some whispered to each other, shook their heads and waved their hands, lamenting that the world is really complicated, with human faces and beasts' hearts...
It was almost early summer, and the warm sunshine was scorching the earth and interrogating the sun. The sins committed under him make it impossible for them to escape.
Yang Jinxing was detained by two police officers and stood in the center of the terrace.
Chongqing Working People’s Cultural Palace
His back was deeply hunched, and his head was buried low. I don't know whether it was because he was too ashamed to face the scrutiny of his fellow villagers, or because the bright and hot sun made him unable to bear to look directly, and his posture was so humble that he was buried in the dust.
The expression on his face was not clear, only a shadow. No one knows what he is thinking at this time.
From 1940 to 1949, Yang Jinxing was in his most high-spirited stage.
At that time, he was notorious for cruel torture methods such as the tiger bench, electrocution , and pepper water feeding.
Stepping on the blood and flesh of the people, Yang Jinxing ruthlessly climbed up the ranks step by step, reaching the position of chief warden of Baigongguan Detention Center. had great glory for a while.
I watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse.
Bai Gongguan Detention Center
In 1949, after the disastrous defeat of the Kuomintang, high-ranking officials from all walks of life fled. For the Kuomintang, Yang Jinxing is just an inconspicuous lackey, insignificant, and it is naturally impossible to take him with him when escaping.
With the retreat of the Kuomintang, Yang Jinxing lost power and lost his backer. In order to survive, he repainted his skin and changed his face.
The former ferociousness and sharpness were hidden, replaced by a kind-hearted and pitiful appearance.
is fake after all. He knew very well that he could not escape this fate. As a dying man, standing here to accept the judgment of the public, a sense of trance arose spontaneously.
Looking back on his career of more than 40 years, how did he get to this point?
Maybe something is wrong from the beginning.
If he had not been obsessed with glory and glory, and fell into the hands of the Kuomintang; if he had not lost his conscience and could have stopped his losses in time and escaped from the massacre, he probably would not have ended up like he did today.
But there are so many what-ifs in life. He has made this step by himself.
Tomorrow is the day, and the onlookers are chattering endlessly. Yang Jinxing's head is always lowered and never raised.
He has been doing evil for nine years and pretending to be for six years. The troubles of fifteen years are pressing on his neck, and his feelings of regret and regret cannot be increased.
He used to be a high-spirited and simple-minded young man, but after the slaughter of the world, he has become so unrecognizable now.
The faces of those innocent people who died tragically under his knife for the founding of New China came to mind one after another. At that time, he never thought that every person he killed was heading towards the abyss of eternal destruction. thrust.
What terrible things did Yang Jinxing do during his short forty years? How did he push himself to the edge of death step by step?
The Sin of Blood and Tears
Yang Jinxing was born in Xuanping, Zhejiang in 1917. He joined the military command in 1940.
The upper reaches of Xuanping River
The so-called military command is an intelligence agency affiliated with the Kuomintang. It has a clear division of labor and has multiple departments. There are external personnel who spy on intelligence and carry out assassination missions, and there are also personnel who conduct investigations on captured enemy personnel. Torture interrogation workers.
Yang Jinxing belongs to the latter. When
first joined the army, Yang Jinxing was just an unknown soldier, working as a guard in the Secret Service of Wanglongmen Detention Center of the Chongqing army.
As a staff member at the lowest level, he has seen scenes of senior officials holding Yingying Yanyan's slender waist and flirting with each other . He has also seen the upper-class people's glitzy and extravagant life, drinking and drinking. .
Although Yang Jinxing was accustomed to these things, he had just entered society after all, and his empty and confused heart was stained with the smell of copper after seeing luxury.
The arrogance and luxury of the upper class made him confused and obsessed, intoxicated and unable to extricate himself. He also wanted to live such a life.
But he knew that for a person with no foundation like him, he could only have this opportunity by constantly climbing up and concentrating power and status in his own hands.
The road to high promotion and officialdom is not easy. How many people fought for it to death, only to be photographed back to where they were, even costing their lives.
Although the road ahead is difficult and extremely dangerous, the temptation of power has blinded Yang Jinxing's eyes.
He just felt that he was not standing high enough and wanted to go to a higher level and enjoy the pleasure of being in power and having others bow to him.
In order to be promoted, in addition to working hard, Yang Jinxing also tried his best to flatter the leader to make the leader remember him.
Soon, he ushered in his career advancement.
In 1941, he was promoted to Dai Li plainclothes guard, and later served as an aide-de-camp, becoming a celebrity around Dai Li.
Dai Li
Dai Li was the deputy director of the Military Command . At that time, he was the object of flattery from those around him.
It only took Yang Jinxing one year to go from being unknown to becoming a famous figure next to a high-ranking official.
This was the highlight moment in his life, and it was also the beginning of his journey into the abyss of eternal destruction.
Yang Jinxing followed Dai Li and observed his actions, and developed ruthless self-protection and promotion skills.
On the surface, he is hypocritical and hypocritical. He uses every opportunity behind his back to kill people. His hands are stained with the blood of countless people.
At the same time, in order to make Dai Li value him more, Yang Jinxing often used some daunting and unbearable methods to assist him in completing the work of the Intelligence Bureau.
General Ye Ting is one of his blood debts.
Ye Ting
In 1941, after the Wannan Incident, General Ye Ting was captured by the Kuomintang reactionaries, but he would rather die than surrender. The Kuomintang has never been able to extract useful intelligence information from him.
The military intelligence agents in this area failed to obtain effective information. The Kuomintang believed that their confession method was wrong, so they planned to send General Ye Ting to the military intelligence bureau in the next area, where people would continue the interrogation.
Therefore, General Ye Ting's place of imprisonment kept changing, from Shangrao, Jiangxi to Enshi, Hubei, but the Kuomintang never succeeded.
Finally, he was sent to Chongqing, and continued interrogation by the Military Command Bureau under Dai Li's jurisdiction.
Ye Ting
In order to claim credit in front of Dai Li and allow Dai Li to use him more seriously, Yang Jinxing planned to use Ye Ting as a breakthrough in his official career and coerce and induce him, hoping to extract useful information from him.
He first made a false promise to General Ye Ting with a high-ranking official and a generous salary, but Ye Ting remained unmoved.
So he used both soft and hard tactics. Seeing that the pretense of fame and wealth was not working, wanted to use force to solve the problem.
He hung General Ye Ting's hands on the iron chains, and used the flaming iron to burn General Ye Ting's flesh until it made a "sizzling" sound, leaving one mark after another on General Ye Ting's body.
He also beat with a whip. General Ye Ting's body was dripping with blood and his body was completely bruised, which was shocking.
Every kind of torture carries heart-breaking pain, which is evident from Yang Jinxing's cruelty.
During his five-year imprisonment, General Ye Ting had become accustomed to all kinds of harsh criminal laws. Despite the pain of his flesh and blood, the faith in his heart could not be erased by any torture or glory.
Yang Jinxing’s plan ultimately failed to succeed. When he wanted to use more harsh criminal laws, General Ye Ting had been rescued by the Communist Party.
There were no more victims for Yang Jinxing to climb up, but in 1946, Dai Li's plane crashed and he died. gave him a good opportunity .
The backer fell, and Yang Jinxing began to take charge of himself.

Relying on what he learned from Dai Li, Yang Jinxing made his way step by step in the officialdom that eats people without spitting out their bones.
In the same year, he was promoted and transferred to Bai Gongguan, Chongqing, as the director of the detention center, responsible for torture and assassination of captured revolutionary patriots.
Having been in the officialdom for many years, he was able to handle these things with ease, and 's methods of execution and assassination were simply outrageous.
On August 18, Yang Jinxing received orders from his superiors and came to Songlinpo, Chongqing and shot dead the Communists Luo Shiwen and Che Yaoxian who were imprisoned here.
Worried that the two men were still alive, they poured gasoline on their bodies and burned them..
Luo Shiwen
The collision between gasoline and fire erupted into strong tongues of flame, rising upwards. The scorching flames shone on Yang Jinxing's face, flickering in and out, making shadows appear.
The flames devoured everything, The bodies of Luo Shiwen and Che Yaoxian were looming in the firelight.
Later, Yang Jinxing ordered his men to bury it, then drove away.
Yang Jinxing became more and more powerful after completing his mission, which was intuitively reflected in the fact that his methods became more and more cruel.
In September 1947, Yang Jinxing received a telegram from his superiors to secretly sentence Shang Chengwen and several others, that is, secretly kill him.
In 1941, it came to light that Shang Chengwen, as a member of the Kuomintang who had defected to the Communist Party, provided intelligence for the Communist Party in the military.
He was listed as a suspect and had been suspended and imprisoned in Bai Mansion for several years.
Shang Chengwen has cherished a patriotic heart to resist Japan and save the country since he was a child. In 1938, at the age of 22, he was introduced to work as a dispatcher in a confidential office of the Kuomintang. He had access to many high-level secrets within the Kuomintang. Not long after
started working, he discovered that the Kuomintang was pretending to be active in the anti-Japanese process, and was also secretly plotting to sabotage the
plan of the national united front against Japan.
Today's job goes against the belief he had since childhood, and the Communist Party of China is a good party that truly serves the people and wants to drive the invaders out of China.
At the crossroads of life, Shang Chengwen chose to embrace his ideals and beliefs and support the Communist Party of China. Most of the people imprisoned with him had the same situation.
Zhu Nianqun
After receiving the secret execution order, Yang Jinxing took several subordinates to the detention point and quickly put black masks and handcuffs on Shang Chengwen, Zhang Chang'ao and Zhu Nianqun.
then tricked the three into getting into the car on the pretext of sending them to Nanjing for release.
The moment they put on the mask and handcuffs, Shang Chengwen and others knew that this trip would never be as simple as Yang Jinxing said.
The car drove them through the bustling streets. Shang Chengwen listened to the noise in his ears gradually dissipating, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
He was not afraid of death, but he regretted not being able to see the day when the Japanese pirates were driven out of China. He might not be able to continue fighting against Japan and saving the country.
As the car drove into the suburbs, Shang Chengwen's ears were filled with the "buzzing" sound of the engine and his own rapid breathing. He could feel that death was approaching him step by step.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the Juntong Meteorological Observatory. Yang Jinxing violently drove them out of the car. Shang Chengwen staggered and fell to the ground.
He struggled to get up from the ground, but because his hands were handcuffed, he seemed a little unable to do so.
In Yang Jinxing's eyes, Shang Chengwen looked like an invertebrate crawling on the ground, and he couldn't help laughing. At this time, Yang Jinxing had already become numb.
The subordinate roughly pulled Shang Chengwen up, and then pushed the three of them towards a small room.
Shang Chengwen walked straight, with sonorous and powerful steps. Although he was covered in dust, he could not hide the tragic and heroic ending of the hero.
Apart from some electrical facilities, there is only a small bench in the house.
Yang Jinxing ordered Shang Chengwen, Zhang Chang'ao and Zhu Nianqun to sit side by side, and then individually wrapped wires around their handcuffs.
The three of them didn't know what method Yang Jinxing would use to kill them. They just sat there quietly, waiting for the arrival of death..
When they reach the last moment of their lives, the glory of fighting for the motherland in the past shines into their hearts. There, the sun is shining brightly, the spring breeze is intoxicating, the people of the motherland live and work in peace and contentment, and the far-fetched prosperous age they dreamed of in their ideals has come true. .
They dedicated their bodies and minds to the people of the motherland and died without regrets!
Darkness can annihilate light, but when the first ray of dawn breaks out from the eastern sky, no force can stop the arrival of light.
After seeing that his subordinates had prepared everything, Yang Jinxing came to the general control office and decisively pulled the switch.
The three people sitting on the bench suddenly began to tremble. Electricity instantly flowed through their bodies. With convulsions, they slid off the bench and lay on the ground in violent convulsions.
The painful screams of the three people could not be heard, and the smell of burning hair and flesh filled the air.
Yang Jinxing stood outside the door and watched coldly, with a bloodthirsty sneer on his lips.
Soon, there was no movement from Shang Chengwen and the other three. The subordinate checked the breathing of the three people one by one, trotted to Yang Jinxing, and reported: "The three of them are not breathing, and they are all dead."
Yang Jinxing waved his hand, indicating to the subordinate to step back, and looked at the bodies lying on the ground. Thoughts.
He was worried that Shang Chengwen was only temporarily in shock, and in order to avoid future troubles, he considered killing him a second time.
He looked around, took off the T-shaped pickaxe hanging on the wall, and walked slowly and leisurely towards Shang Chengwen's body.
Bent over and squatting down, Yang Jinxing raised the iron pick in his hand and dug frantically at Shang Chengwen's body, until he was covered with bloody holes, and the blood gurgled out, pooled on the ground, and hit the body. flow forward.
Yang Jinxing's face was covered with splashes of blood. With a casual swipe, the blood beads that were about to coagulate spread on his face, the image of a bloodthirsty maniac was profound.
Looking at Shang Chengwen lying dead on the ground, Yang Jinxing stood up with satisfaction, dropped the pickaxe, hummed a little tune, and left the room with excitement on his face. When
's men came in to collect the corpses, even though he was used to all kinds of tragic scenes, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The sun was shining brightly, but he broke out in a cold sweat.
In the room, Zhu Nianqun and Zhang Changao were charred, while Shang Chengwen was covered in blood and lay in a pool of blood.
Yang Jinxing is extremely thoughtful, which is one of the reasons why he can be reused by the Kuomintang in this position.
In September 1949, Yang Jinxing participated in the killing of General Yang Hucheng, the famous general of our country, and Song Qiyun and his family of three.
General Yang Hucheng and Song Qiyun were both arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang because of the Xi'an Incident.
Song Qiyun was arrested in 1941. In the same year, his son Song Zhenzhong (Little Luobotou) was born. His wife Xu Linxia learned that her husband had been arrested and his whereabouts were unknown. She was worried every day and ran around asking questions.
Eager to see her husband, Xu Linxia fell into the trap of the spies and was forced to live in the female cell of the prison with Song Zhenzhong, who was only eight months old.
The conditions in the women's prison are harsh, it is cold and dark all day long, and the food becomes moldy and rotten.
Song Zhenzhong was originally in the growth and development stage. Long-term malnutrition made him thin and small, and his body was weak. was all skin and bones, with only a skeleton still supporting his body, making him appear to have a big head and a small body.
Seeing Song Zhenzhong's thin appearance, the inmates felt sad and pitiful, and nicknamed him "Little Carrot Head".
Little Luobotou grew up in prison. From crying for food to toddling, babbling, and then learning to read and digit, he brought comfort to the people around him. He lived as a heart-warming little sun in the prison.
But he redeemed others, but failed to redeem himself.
Song Qiyun and Xu Linxia
On September 6, 1949, their family of three was sent to the Dai Gong Temple in Songlinpo, Chongqing by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
originally thought it was a reunion after a long separation, but never imagined that it would be the last time in this life.
Yang Jinxing came to Dai Gong Temple and took out his gun. The deafening sound of the gunshot sent birds flying in the tree, and the people in the house fell to the ground.
The ground was stained with blood, and the man who died tragically.
In addition to Xiaoluotou’s family of three, the victims were also General Yang Hucheng and his young daughter and second son.
In order to cover up their crimes, Yang Jinxing and his party buried them on the spot. After burying them, they poured cement on the ground in an attempt to cover up their crimes.
Yang Hucheng
After the liberation of Chongqing, their remains were rediscovered. When found Xiaoluotou, he was still holding tightly in his hand a pencil that had already peeled off the paint when he was studying in prison.
In 1941, Little Luobotou, who was only eight months old, was sent to prison. In 1949, Little Luobotou was already eight years old, and he stayed in prison for eight years.
The torrent of time continues to move forward, time flies, and the years fly by, Little Carrot Head stays in 1949 forever.
According to statistics, Yang Jinxing killed more than 300 people in the eight years from 1941 to 1949, including infant babies.
After all, it’s hard to paint bones
At the end of 1949, the Kuomintang was in decline and the situation was over.
In order to avoid arrest, Yang Jinxing and others who were turned into outcasts took off their former domineering skins and put on simple peasant clothes.
Yang Jinxing took his wife and children, changed his name to Yang Dafa, pretended to be poor people who had escaped from Guang'an County, Sichuan, and came to No. 3 Village, Qingju Township, Nanchong, Sichuan.
There was no ID card at that time, and not many people had seen him in the military camp. As he burst into tears and pretended to be real, the villagers felt pity for him, and finally he succeeded in getting a place in the village.
The devil put on human skin and took on the appearance of an angel. He also disguised himself so well that he deceived everyone.
In the dead of night, Yang Jinxing lies in bed and thinks about the first half of his life over and over again.
I have tasted glory and wealth, I have seen intrigues, and I have also done unscrupulous things. never expected that after most of my life in troubled times, I could still escape unscathed and live in a corner.
While he was frightened, he also wanted to cherish his ordinary life.
He began to actively integrate into the village collective, working hard and scrambling for all kinds of work. Gradually, he gained a certain reputation in the village.
In 1953, he was also elected as the leader of the production mutual aid team.
One day, he and his wife were planting in the fields, and they got into a quarrel because of some family feud.
Seeing the couple quarreling, the villagers stayed aside and watched the show with relish.
In anger, the wife blurted out: "Yang Jinxing, do you dare to tell everyone about the things you did in the past that would have been struck by lightning, so that everyone would know that you are a liar?"
Hearing this, the villagers were puzzled. , asked with a smile: "Isn't your name Yang Dafa? Why did she call you Xing just now? Also, what have you done before? Tell us and let us hear it."
Yang Jinxing quickly blocked his wife's mouth , with a sneer on his face: "Don't listen to her nonsense."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Some villagers looked at the couple gradually with deeper eyes.
In the autumn of the same year, the country elected model workers. As a labor activist and leader of the production mutual aid group, Yang Jinxing was naturally listed as a voter.
When reviewing his information, the reviewers discovered a flaw: Yang Dafa claimed to be originally from Guang'an County, Sichuan, but Guang'an County said there was no trace of this person. Combined with what his wife said before, it was really suspicious.
The censors immediately reported this situation to the Public Security Bureau. At that time, many Kuomintang fugitives had not been arrested and brought to justice. After realized that Yang Dafa's identity was of great importance, the Public Security Bureau immediately launched a secret investigation.
The investigator disguised himself as a passing villager and chatted with Yang Jinxing's wife. learned that her hometown was located and that her adoptive mother was still alive.
The police quickly launched an investigation into this relationship and visited everywhere. finally learned that the husband she married was Yang Jinxing, a Kuomintang agent who had been escaping.
In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, the investigators asked the couple to take a photo and take it back to the agents serving their sentences in prison for observation. They unanimously approved it.. The Yang Dafa in this photo is Yang Jinxing.
At this point, the dust has settled and the arrest operation has been implemented.
On June 11, 1955, Yang Jinxing, who had been on the run for six years, was arrested and brought to justice.
It was not that he refused to report, but the time had not yet come. On May 16, 1958, he was executed by firing squad in accordance with the law. He died at the age of 41.
Haruki Murakami said: "Death is not the opposite of life, but an eternal part of life."
Those who bring harm to the country and the people will be brought to justice.
We live in the cause fought by those revolutionaries who were killed by Yang Jinxing, and they will always live in our memory. Their spirit lives on forever and will never be extinguished.
