In 1955, when Zhang Desheng, Secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, learned that an old Red Army sold a speech in Xi'an, he immediately put down his work and prepared to visit the old Red Army.
After seeing this old Red Army, Zhang Desheng took the other party's hand excitedly and asked him how he was doing recently.
At the beginning, Zhang Desheng seemed very happy.
However, After asking a few questions, he pointed directly at the old Red Army and said: "You are a fake!"
Then, Zhang Desheng immediately sent someone to investigate the identity of the "old Red Army" and found that he was indeed a fake. How did Zhang Desheng discover this fake "Old Red Army" named
? What is his true identity? What kind of conspiracy does he have behind his impersonation of the "Old Red Army"?
fake "Old Red Army"
In 1955, Zhang Desheng, who served as Secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, was working in the office. Just then, his secretary knocked on the door and walked in.
"Secretary Zhang, I heard that an old Red Army came to in Xi'an, which is very popular!" The secretary put the documents in his hand in front of Zhang Desheng and said.
Hearing the secretary's words, Zhang Desheng stopped the work, looked up at him, and asked in confusion: "Which comrade is here? Why didn't I receive the notice?"
"I just heard that it should be that people don't like to mention the past." The secretary stood by Zhang Desheng and said.
Zhang Desheng nodded after hearing this, thinking to himself: Since he is an old Red Army, since he is here, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, he has to go and meet others.
Then, Zhang Desheng asked someone to ask about the current residence of the old Red Army and planned to visit him.
When he learned that the old Red Army was at Liang Dezhu, director of the office of the Northwest Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he felt even happier.
In the early years, Zhang Desheng had a relationship with Liang Dezhu, and he was a comrade-in-arms who had a friendship.
The old Red Army was just the same as Liang Dezhu, so Zhang Desheng hurriedly called his old friend and told him that he would visit his house later, and greet the old Red Army.
But after Liang Dezhu received Zhang Desheng's call, said strangely: "Desheng, do you really want to see him?"
Hearing this, Zhang Desheng thought that the other party was worried that he would disturb the old Red Army, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I just gave the old comrade something to greet him, there was no other meaning." Liang Dezhu, opposite the phone, saw that Zhang Desheng insisted on coming to see the old Red Army, didn't say anything, but just asked him to come early.
Then, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Looking at the hanging-up call, Zhang Desheng was very surprised, but he didn't think much about it.
Not long after, Zhang Desheng came to Liang Dezhu's office. As soon as he walked into the office, he saw a man in a green military uniform sitting there.
"Come on, Lao Zhang, let me introduce you. This comrade is Li Wanming . He has participated in many battles and is an old Red Army." Liang Dezhu walked to Li Wanming and introduced to Zhang Desheng on his own initiative.
Zhang Desheng stepped forward and held Li Wanming's hand, and said happily: "Welcome to Xi'an, Comrade Li Wanming. My Shaanxi Provincial Party Secretary, Zhang Desheng."
After a simple greeting, the three of them sat down and talked about their past revolutionary experiences.
During the chat, Zhang Desheng discovered that there were many strange things in the "old Red Army" in front of him.
For example, whenever Liang Dezhu asked Li Wanming which army he had worked with, the other party always refused to answer on the grounds of "I won't talk about the past."
At the beginning, Zhang Desheng thought it was Li Wanming who was unwilling to recall that painful revolutionary experience, but when Liang Dezhu said that Li Wanming was here in Shaanxi to attend the meeting and even went to Northwest Military Region to serve as the position of chief of staff and division commander, Zhang Desheng felt a big doubt in his heart.
Zhang Desheng, as the secretary of the provincial party committee of Shaanxi, also serves as the government committee member in the military. How come he didn't know about the appointment of the chief of staff of the military region.
Such strange behavior, coupled with Li Wanming's previous refusal to answer the question, made Zhang Desheng doubt him.
So, he asked Li Wanming, "Comrade Li Wanming, which division headquarters do you want to report?"
Hearing this, Li Wanming was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Oh, this. I am going to serve as the chief of staff of the 12th Army and the commander of the 35th Division. "
Hearing Li Wanming's answer, Zhang Desheng nodded and continued to ask, "That's right, Where are you going to hold a meeting later? How long will the meeting last? Where will the 12th Army be stationed again? "
Zhang Desheng's series of questions made Li Wanming stunned in place, hesitated and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Li Wanming's unusual behavior made Zhang Desheng's suspicion of him deeper.
The drama "Looking at Chang'an West", after Ge You played Li Wanming
, he called Liang Dezhu out on the excuse of going to the bathroom, and told him that Li Wanming's behavior was a bit suspicious.
After listening to Zhang Desheng's story, Liang Dezhu nodded and said, "I have long suspected him."
It turned out that Li Wanming had come to Liang Dezhu's house a few days ago and told him that he would go to a "military meeting" in a few days.
Liang Dezhu didn't think much about it at that time and enthusiastically let Li Wanming live in his residence.
But a few days have passed, but Liang Dezhu found that Li Wanming had no intention of attending the meeting. When he asked, he was evasive about convenience and kept using other things to make excuses.
Various behaviors made Liang Dezhu suspicious of Li Wanming.
Therefore, when Zhang Desheng called Liang Dezhu, he would say that.
In order to confirm whether what Li Wanming said is true, Zhang Desheng also called Beijing to inquire.
Soon, Military Commission called back, telling Zhang Dezhi that there was no such person, and that Li Wanming was not appointed as the chief of staff of the 12th Army and the commander of the 35th Division.
After receiving the reply, Zhang Desheng was so angry that he came directly to Li Wanming, pointing to his nose and said: "You are not an old Red Army at all, you fake!"
After hearing Zhang Desheng's words, Li Wanming immediately sweated coldly, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled and could not even say a complete sentence.
What is Li Wanming’s reality? What is his real purpose in pretending to be the old Red Army? The mystery of all this gradually emerged as the investigation came to light.
cheated and became a "fighting hero"
Li Wanming was born in a landlord family, and his family has run a grain store, wine shop and grocery store. When Li Wanming's father opened a store, he often mixed water into the wine to make money, and adulterated the mountain goods, using inferior products as good ones.
What is more ironic is that Li Wanming's father's store uses "real price, one fake one loses ten" as his signature.
As the saying goes, is close to red, and is close to red, and twilight is close to ink and black.
In this tricky and mean business style and fraudulent environment, the young Li Wanming learned a lot of stealing things.
When you are fine, you will run to the neighbor's chicken coop and steal eggs. Sometimes I would go to other people's shops to steal some food.
When I was in elementary school, Li Wanming even sneaked into the teacher's office and stole the exam papers.
When I arrived in middle school, Li Wanming saw that the teacher’s watch was beautiful, so he stole it and sold it directly, and then used the money to buy a bunch of food for himself.
When Li Wanming was older, he began to take advantage of his brother's convenience as a postman, often stealing registration mail from his brother's backpack and handing over the stolen money to his parents.
Whenever parents ask, Li Wanming lied that he picked it up on the road.
Li Wanming has been doing things like stealing things like this since he was a child, and his ability to deceive people can be said to be familiar with it.
In January 1945, Li Wanming joined the Kuomintang while studying at the Normal College. At that time, Li Wanming admired Chiang Kai-shek very much, and even wanted to become a person like Chiang Kai-shek.
But Li Wanming, a little hooligan who has been misbehaved since childhood, did not learn anything in the Kuomintang troops, but instead developed the bad habit of being lazy, greedy, and cheating.
He often pretends to be a veteran to receive retirement fees while the new and old troops are reorganized. As a result, Li Wanming's trick was quickly discovered and he was arrested in prison.
In prison, Li Wanming felt very regretful, but he was not guilty of cheating, but because he left a handle on his work and let them catch it.
Li Wanming was released after staying in prison for a while.
1948, Li Wanming followed the Kuomintang army to the frontline of the Northeast Civil War.
After the Liaoshen Battle ended, the Kuomintang army was defeated, and Li Wanming took the opportunity to escape from the northeast to Jiangsu.
A year later, Nanjing was liberated under the leadership of the Communist Party. Seeing this, Li Wanming forged his ID and lied that he was a student who graduated from " Central University " and successfully got into the Military and Political University of the Second Field Army.
After graduation, Li Wanming forged a seal and got himself a letter of introduction and relevant supporting documents, mixed it into the Changzhou Municipal People's Government, and served as a clerk in the construction department.
But after working for a few days, Li Wanming felt that the position of a clerk is not only low, but also very tiring in his work. He wanted to go to a higher position.
So, Li Wanming forged a letter for himself again, packaged himself as a "party member who was injured in the war" and asked the government to assign him a job.
But this time, Li Wanming's fraudulent methods were discovered. The staff of the personnel department discovered his identity as a fake party member and sent him to the police station. was sentenced to 3 years in imprisonment .
After ending his 3-year prison life, Li Wanming was released.
But after coming out, Li Wanming not only did not repent, but kept thinking about how to cheat and get promoted and make money.
Li Wanming believes that if you want to get rich, you must take some risks.
So, he came to a letter shop, and privately engraved a seal to forge a series of letters of introduction and letters of certificate from disabled soldiers.
Li Wanming came to Xi'an with these forged letters and asked the government to assign him work.
drama "Looking at Chang'an West" Ge You plays Li Wanming
Relying on these forged letters, Li Wanming not only intervened in the Ankang Special Office, but also cheated certificates and medals.
In order to make his behavior more in line with his personality, Li Wanming would wear a military uniform every time he went out and always wears a prize on his chest. Even when walking, I use crutches .
Whenever someone asks about it, Li Wanming will tell them about his "heroic deeds" back then.
Afterwards, Li Wanming relied on the same method to package himself as an "old Red Army". "Fighting Heroes" and "Model Party Members" etc.
After having these titles, Li Wanming was introduced to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. When Li Wanming first arrived at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the government did not immediately arrange a job for him, but arranged him in a comfortable and high-end room, and equipped him with a nanny to take care of his daily life.
The party organization gave Li Wanming the greatest preferential treatment, the "fighting hero". In addition to paying him a salary, will also pay him a subsidy amount.
Even the party organization will reimburse him for the monthly fare for medical treatment.
Not only that, Li Wanming even married a young and beautiful wife, which can be said to be envious of others.
But the greedy Li Wanming is not satisfied with this, but wants to climb to a higher position.
So, in the fall of 1954, Li Wanming forged another letter, lied that the party organization wanted to transfer him to the 12th Army of the Northwest Military Region as the position of chief of staff and commander of the 35th Division.
After Li Wanming deceived the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, he came to Xi'an, found Liang Dezhu, and boasted about his "glorious achievements".
But unexpectedly, Li Wanming's scam was eventually exposed by Zhang Desheng.
final ending
After Li Wanming's scam was exposed, Zhang Desheng sent him to the police station, preparing to allow him to undergo legal trial.
Because his behavior was very serious, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison by the court on August 30, 1956.
After Li Wanming's wife learned of his true identity, she also chose to divorce him. Those who were deceived by him before also accused Li Wanming of his behavior as abusive. He pretended to be a national hero and cheated, which really insulted those heroes who sacrificed for the country. After the sentence was sentenced, Li Wanming was sent to a prison in Beijing for labor reform. Ten years later, he transferred from Beijing to a brick factory in Xi'an to continue the renovation.
This time in prison, Li Wanming deeply realized his mistakes, and decided to change his mind after he was released from prison, become a new person, and never do those stealing activities again.
Not long after, Li Wanming was released early because of his outstanding performance in prison.
The moment he walked out of the prison, Li Wanming breathed the air outside, determined to be a down-to-earth person.
