One morning in September 1948, a woman came to the Military Justice Department established by the Kuomintang in Wuhan. She called herself Chen Yu and came to report.
Chen Yu is very good-looking, with fair complexion and regular facial features. is like a well-educated young lady raised in a boudoir, with a dignified and elegant temperament all over her body.

The officer in charge of the reception was attracted to her at that time and almost forgot to say anything. However, the officer could not have imagined that what Chen Yu said next was shocking and frightened him.
Chen Yu told him that he was here to report that he had been raped. And the names of 6 rapists that he threw out in one breath made him even more unbelievable.
The officer knew that with the power and background of these people, it would be very difficult to handle this matter, and it was likely that it would go unsolved in the end. then gave Chen Yu a few perfunctory words of comfort and sent Chen Yu away.
So, what is the rape case that Chen Yu mentioned? What are the backgrounds of these six accused subjects? How was the matter resolved in the end, and did the criminals get the punishment they deserve?

The rape case victim who has been accused everywhere
At the Military Law Department at the time, Chen Yu tried his best to suppress his trembling voice and said: "I want to report the six people hospitalized in Wuhan Army Hospital. They are Cui Bowen, Ling Zhi, Shi Pan, Zha Dajun, Yuan Shangzhi, and Zeng Xuanming, these six people dragged me to Ward 17 at around two o'clock this morning and raped me."
Recalling the scene at that time, Chen Yu could not bear it. She couldn't help but tremble all over, and she hugged herself tightly to try to get some comfort.
But he couldn't help but remember the scene of those six people pressing him to the ground. An unspeakable feeling of nausea and suffocation surged into his chest. Finally, Chen Yu bent over and retched.
If it weren't for the fact that her husband Lou Jiangliang was still lying in the hospital and the two children were still waiting for her to take care of, would have suffered such a thing, Chen Yu would have committed suicide in grief and anger at that time.
But she didn't. After the six rapists left, she tremblingly picked up the only intact cloth on the ground to cover herself, then dressed and rushed here in order to seek justice.
However, after hearing the names of several people reported by Chen Yu, the officer who was originally stunned by her appearance showed a strange expression, as if to say: Who made you look so good-looking and encounter such a thing? Not surprising at all.
Fortunately, Chen Yu did not look up and missed this scene. Otherwise, how desperate she would be if she found out that she was raped and it was her fault in the eyes of others.

Looking at the six names he recorded, something strange flashed in the officer's eyes, asked Chen Yu to go back and wait, saying that he would notify her when the matter was taken care of.
But when Chen Yu left, the officer did not report it as required immediately. Instead, he went to his superior and told the matter: "These six people have a close relationship with the leaders at the hospital. This woman Are we going to arrest people if we don't win the lawsuit? "
If she is arrested and Chen Yu doesn't win the lawsuit, the rest of her life will definitely be difficult, because both these six people and the hospital leaders will try their best to find someone. She's in trouble.
Although Chen Yu’s husband, Lou Jiangliang, is a colonel in the Kuomintang army, with a certain military rank and prestige.
But now he is in the hospital because of tuberculosis. himself cannot protect himself, let alone seek justice for his wife Chen Yu. The leader of
naturally thought of this, but he still decided to arrest:
"Although Chen Yu is just an unarmed woman, she is also the wife of an officer after all. She will definitely not just report it here. If there is no movement here, , when this matter breaks out in other places, it won’t be Chen Yu who is waiting for us."
The leader's guess was good. After leaving the Military Law Office, Chen Yu went to five places including the Zhejiang Brigade Association and the Hankou Women's Association to tell his story again and seek justice.

According to the environment at that time, it was rare for a woman to have the courage to seek justice for herself after suffering such humiliation.
Because the mere incident of being raped could drive a woman to death at that time. , Not to mention that she took the risk of being judged and made her humiliation public.
But Chen Yu was not dealing with ordinary people. When the Military Justice Department arrested these six people and prepared for sentencing. , The people at the hospital completely cleared Cui Bowen and others of their crimes.
They delayed Chen Yu's request for physical examination and preservation of evidence several times, which already made Chen Yu suffer. But even so, The hospital did not intend to let this desperate woman go.
Case reports at the time
She was threatened and insulted by the hospital
In order to get Chen Yu to cancel the accusation and release Cui Bowen and others, the hospital's director Cai came to the hospital specially. Two employees: Liu Jiazhen and Sun Ming
and told these two people: "No matter what means you use, you must make that woman Chen Yu let go. "
Just like that, facing the tortured Chen Yu, Sun Ming and Sun Ming said with a condescending attitude:
"Our dean said, even if you accuse, you will not get any benefits. It's inevitable to be criticized, but if you can withdraw the accusation, the hospital is willing to give you 200 million French dollars in medical compensation, which will be considered as compensation for your losses. "

Sun Ming said arrogantly. On the surface, he was thinking about Chen Yu, but in fact, he was insulting Chen Yu, trying to arouse her shame and make her shameless to pursue this matter again. , while using money to "compensate" her to shut up.
The compensation of 200 million yuan sounds considerable, but at that time, under the control of Song Ailing and others, China's economic system had collapsed.
Prices in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. It rose rapidly, even several times a day. In the end, buying a bowl of white rice cost 20,000 French currency . If converted into current RMB, 200 million French currency would only be a mere 10,000 yuan back then. Yuan did not regard Chen Yu as a human being at all.
Listening to the insulting words of Sun Ming and others, Chen Yu immediately refused. She said: "Even if I spend 200 million French currency myself, I still have to make them pay." cost! "
As soon as he heard what she said, Sun Ming became anxious, and he spoke one sentence after another to poke people's pain. He said: " Who do you think you are? If you dare to accuse Cui Bowen and others, any one of those six people is better than your husband.
Not to mention that some of them are hospital employees, who are close friends with our medical director, and there is also a cousin who is also a senior executive of our hospital.
The others are the worst classmate of Director Zhang of our hospital. Which status does not put you first? So what if I raped you? You are no longer a virgin and you have given birth to two children. Why do you care about such a thing? "
These words completely annoyed Chen Yu. She thought that the people in the hospital knew about bribery and had some conscience.
But now it seems that the reason why they came to find her was because she was hindered by her humiliation. Others, are forcing themselves to swallow a bitter pill.
Looking at the ugly faces of Sun Ming and the others, Chen Yu spat and said: "My injustice has been settled. Just because you are so powerful, you can make people suffer." Are you willing to swallow your anger and be played by you? Let’s wait and see! "
Seeing that Chen Yu was so tough, Dean Cai had no choice but to come forward in person.
The case reports at the time were different from Sun Ming's vulgar threats. He used a roundabout way and said to Chen Yu: "You You should give up the accusation for the sake of your reputation and that of your husband.
Your husband is in very bad health now. If you insist on making accusations, your husband will definitely know about it. We cannot guarantee whether he can survive by then.
And even if you want to accuse, you have to find a way to find a bailiff, otherwise you will have to be imprisoned. In this way, your husband and children will have no one to take care of them, and they will die. If you then It's too late to regret it. "
First he used moral kidnapping, and then he used the threat of "Xiaozhiyi" to hit Chen Yu's sore spot. It has to be said that Dean Cai's method is indeed much smarter.
However, under the continuous obstruction from the hospital, Chen Yu has already She saw through the hospital's intention of sheltering criminals.
She knew very well that if she really gave up, when the six people came out, there would be more than a simple insult waiting for her, and even her family might be threatened.
“You are all driving me to a dead end, and you still want me to let go? What a good idea! The more you behave like this, the less I can let go. Even if I fight to the end, I still have to demand justice. Gritting her teeth, Chen Yu decisively turned around and left.
Although she was haggard due to the torture, her back was still strong, like a sword hidden in a sheath, even though she was covered in rust. , can't stop the sharpness.
The evidence was destroyed, the appeal was blocked, and the road to rights protection was too tortuous, so Chen Yu quickly lost weight.
Although she was still holding on to her breath, her whole body was gone. Chen Yu couldn't hide her past spirit from her husband Lou Jiangliang, who knew her very well.
She confessed to her husband
In order to prevent her husband from being worried and injured because of this incident, Chen Yu endured the grief and concealed the incident. , But her increasingly haggard appearance still made Lou Jiangliang suspicious.
So while his wife was taking care of him, he asked his doubts: "Madam, are you hiding something from me? "
Her husband's inquiry reminded Chen Yu of what happened before she was humiliated. Before she was dragged away by Cui Bowen and others in the early morning, she had been molested and molested by these people many times.
Although these people He was hospitalized, but his condition was not serious. The reason why he stayed in the hospital was to have fun. It can be said that the Wuhan Army Hospital at that time was already in a mess by these people.
At that time, Chen Yu also wanted to avoid causing trouble. She was focused on her husband's illness, so she kept secretly enduring it.
But she didn't expect that her forbearance and concession would allow these people to take advantage of her. Let herself bear such a huge insult.
When he thought of this, Chen Yu couldn't bear the circles in his eyes. She was so popular, looking at her husband's weak appearance, she couldn't open her mouth.
But Lou Jiangliang had vaguely noticed something was wrong. He grabbed Chen Yu's hand and said: "No matter what it is, you will do it." You have to tell me, I am your husband and I have the responsibility to know what difficulties you have encountered. "
Such a simple and plain statement made Chen Yu, who had been facing ridicule and humiliation for the past few days, finally unable to hold on any longer.
While crying, she explained the whole story to her husband. and herself, in order to maintain her innocence, After hearing the accusations, Jiang Liang on the fourth floor was anxious and angry. Now that he was seriously ill, he could not help his wife get justice, leaving Chen Yu alone to worry about everything without knowing it. , his wife not only suffered from nightmares every day, but also suffered threats and humiliations from many people. Lou Jiangliang couldn't help the grief and anger in his heart, and he was about to jump out of the window, and said:
"No one can threaten you if I die." Sorry, I'm sorry for you. "
Case report at the time
Chen Yu quickly hugged her husband. Looking at the only man who cared about him, Chen Yu also burst into tears:
"I don't want you to know, I just want you to live well, you have to help I'm holding on, so that I won't be forced to death by those people so quickly. You can't die. You and the child are my only hope in this world."
It was this sentence that made him decide to risk everything to protect his wife.
The hospital was helping the tyrant
At this time, in order to save Cui Bowen and others, the hospital asked a nurse to abduct Chen Yu's four-year-old child. Warn her; while using money or threats to get everyone in the hospital to deny the atrocities committed by Cui Bowen and others.
After doing this, they also made a list of the names of the 51 people they bribed, and sent it to the KMT commander . Before the case of Bai Chongxi, he "took the initiative" to investigate.
But what was the point of such an investigation? Was it not to use his own rights to suppress a woman?
In the end, the hospital instructor Zhu Huisi couldn't stand it. He secretly found the judge and told Dean Cai and others about the conspiracy and threats against Chen Yu.
But who knew that the hospital knew about it, and directly said that Zhu Huisi was this. He made a false accusation and threatened to hunt him down.
Yes, the hospital has almost bought all the evidence and witnesses. As long as this incident does not happen, Cui Bowen and others are expected to be acquitted. Now. In their eyes, are the witnesses who came out "false accusations"?
Although the following methods are strict, this matter has been well known by many media and institutions and has been widely publicized. Bai Chongxi cannot be stupid enough to accuse 51 people just because of their words. Trust the hospital.
So he gave the order directly to the hospital: "As an important witness, the hospital must protect Zhu Huisi's personal safety and thoroughly investigate the people who threaten Zhu Huisi. No one can be spared." "
The hospital was in a hurry now. It quickly found the six people who were locked up and said to them: "You must stick to your confession and not admit what happened to Chen Yu. As long as you don't admit it, we will be responsible for rescuing you." "
Cui Bowen and the six people had already made confessions before they were arrested. This is also the main reason why the hospital has been using various means to suppress Chen Yu.

The defendant does not admit it. If the plaintiff can withdraw, These six people can walk out of prison swaggeringly.
However, Chen Yu is also a strong woman and insists on fighting, so in order to release these six criminals, the hospital has to choose other methods.
大. Use public opinion to exonerate the criminals
In order to brainstorm the exoneration of these six criminals, their families held a public tea party.
Not long after, came up with a "Letter to the Fraudulent Family Members of Choi Jong Soo Jung and Others" and issued a letter to all walks of life. In the notice, which was published in all major newspapers in Wuhan for three consecutive days, the family members first raised a lot of questions. said that since she was "gang raped", she must be unconscious, so why could she remember all the prisoners in such detail? ?
Why didn’t her belongings be sent for inspection immediately? And why didn’t the hospital find any traces of bodily fluids at the crime scene she mentioned?
She also said openly that the six criminals were married and educated. It is physically and psychologically impossible for people to have desire for a woman who has given birth to two children, let alone commit such a beastly act.
They responded by saying that Chen Yu was a complete slander, if she was not mentally abnormal. , that is a mouthful of words.
Picture source network
This statement can be described as confusing right and wrong. directly changed the identity of the victim and the perpetrator, and continued to attack Chen Yu
but ignored the writing of this warning. How beautiful it is, most of the public doesn't buy it.
Because both the evidence mentioned in the book and their accusation against Chen Yu are more like ridiculous frame-ups. It seems that only a little bit of the victim's fault is revealed. , can clear away the crimes of these criminals.
But even so, these family members still refused to give up. They asked the military law authorities to arrest Chen Yu.
The reason is that Chen Yu does things very hotly. If things are exposed, she will definitely hide herself or commit suicide, resulting in no confrontation.
But in fact, they did not do this for justice, but to prevent Chen Yu from complaining everywhere. made the matter bigger, which made it more difficult for them to save people. Fortunately, the Military Justice Department did not agree. .
Nowadays, criminals have become the party that makes publicity. They want to use public opinion to gain sympathy and get away with it.
If there had not been a group of people who stood by Chen Yu to support her, I am afraid that Chen Yu would have been driven to death by the rumors created by the criminal's family.
Later, the six people temporarily returned to the hospital under the pretense of being seriously ill in order to take the opportunity to insult Chen Yu and his wife again.
As one of the criminals, Shi Pan even yelled at Chen Yu at the door of the ward: "I am responsible for everyone's work. Rape is rape, and it is not a big deal. I think your family still has a few days to live, Chen Yu , Lou Jiangliang, you two wait for me! Your death is not far away!"
These words made Lou Jiangliang so angry that he almost lost his balance. Chen Yu hurriedly helped him to the bed to rest, and then quietly Come to the door and look out.
It turned out that there were no soldiers guarding Shi Pan, which made her heart suddenly freeze. Is it true that no one can punish these criminals?
Perhaps justice is still lacking, but because Chen Yu's incident has been fermented, it has alarmed the top leader of the Nanjing government at the time Chiang Kai-shek , so this matter finally ushered in a just ending.
Final verdict
At that time, the Nanjing government was suffering successive defeats in the War of Liberation and was in great need of regaining the support of the people. So Chiang Kai-shek ordered Bai Chongxi to handle this matter strictly.
As a result, the military legal authorities overturned the previous accusation that the six criminals did not rape Chen Yu, and began to officially enter the judicial trial stage.
Because these six people had special identities and were all military personnel or government officials, three trials were held.
Report of the verdict
In the end, four of the soldiers were first sentenced to death and deprived of their civil rights for life; then Zha Dajun and Yuan Shangzhi were also sentenced to death and executed by firing squad.
At 5:45 on March 23, 1949, several criminals were brought to the execution ground and executed. With several gunshots, the gang rape case finally came to an end.
Although Chiang Kai-shek and others originally wanted to use this incident to win the hearts and minds of the people, the fact that military wives were humiliated and subjected to humiliation and suppression has already caused the people to lose their trust in the Nanjing government.
Most of the people protecting Chen Yu this time are private organizations and people living at the bottom of society. Although their power was small, they acted as Chen Yu's backing without hesitation, and used the only way to make the matter bigger to attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention to the case.
The black can never be forcibly wiped clean and turned into white, and sin can never distort justice. No matter what era you are in, as long as you make a mistake, you will have to pay the price and be punished.
As a woman, although her physical strength is often weaker than that of men, her will and courage are not weak. When encountering infringement and injustice, we must dare to fight and seek safe and effective ways to safeguard our own rights and interests. It is not women's fault that
has been violated. It is only those scum and beasts who have no bottom line. Only by bringing these criminals to justice and allowing legal principles to measure the scale of crime can we create a more stable society.
