"New China is founded, the Chinese people stand up!"
On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao delivered an exciting speech on the Tiananmen Gate Tower, which means that the Chinese people completely ended the oppressed day on this day and turned over and became their own masters.
However, three days before this historic moment came, an incident of beating a Chinese employee occurred in the US Consulate in Shenyang. Wald and several people under his command openly dragged Chinese employee Ji Yuheng from the office to the stairs.
In the end, it was after Chinese workers who heard about this that they tried hard to rescue Ji Yuheng from Wald's claws. After the hospital identification, Ji Yuheng had a large area of trauma on his head and was judged to have a severe concussion.
Soon, this incident aroused the anger of all Chinese workers. They jointly wrote a letter asking for severe punishment of Wald and others. Chairman Mao was shocked after hearing about this incident and immediately gave instructions.
publicly beat Chinese citizens in China's territory, or at a critical period when New China was just established, what gave Wald the courage to do so? After this incident spread, what instructions did Chairman Mao issue? What kind of punishment will Wald end up being punished?
The US Consulate who restricted movements
At 3 pm on November 18, 1948, Wald, accompanied by his deputy Habat, walked into the reception room of the Shenyang Military Control Commission in a swaggering manner.
As soon as we met, Wald directly raised the request that the US consulate need to retain radio stations, and arrogantly stated that the radio station rights of the consulate were publicly recognized and approved by the Chinese National Government. Now the People's Liberation Army has no reason to confiscate the consulate's radio stations.
Walde seems to have forgotten that the Northeast is now under the control of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The People's Government has long issued an order to confiscate radio stations in the city, and three days ago specially transferred to Waalde the notice that the Shenyang Military Control Commission would submit all radio stations within 36 hours.
The reason why Wald now has the courage to openly make the request to retain radio is not only because of the support of the United States behind him, but also because of his self-righteous judgments about the policies of the liberated areas.
Just when Shenyang was just liberated, Wald, the US representative who was originally stationed in Shenyang, received a notice from US State Department , and asked him to establish contact with the CCP organizations in an unofficial way to safeguard the interests of the United States in the Northeast.
After receiving this order, Wald realized that this work was not so easy for the United States that has always supported the Kuomintang, but when he thought that he would be the first diplomat to establish relations with the CCP, it would be of great benefit to his future promotion and wealth, he felt extremely excited.
So after receiving the invitation from the newly appointed mayor of Shenyang, Zhu Qiwen, and adhering to the purpose of establishing good relations with the Communist Party of China, Wald arrived at Zhu Qiwen's office early.
In the office, Zhu Qiwen did not make any other requests except to send troops to protect the safety of the consulates. He even took the initiative to issue a series of documents such as passes to consulates in various countries.
After that, Zhu Qiwen took the initiative to visit the library of the US Consulate and showed great interest in American industrial technology.
All of this made Wald feel that the Communist Party’s liberated areas need the United States. As long as it gives certain benefits like the Kuomintang government, it can successfully reach cooperation with the Communist Party.
plus the PLA has been in Shenyang for several days and has not taken any measures against them. made Wald more sure that the PLA is afraid of the strength of the United States and dare not offend him. That is why he dared to openly ignore the notice of the Shenyang Military Control Commission and make his unreasonable requests.
But what he didn't know was that as soon as liberated Shenyang , Chairman Mao had issued an order, treated the staff of the US consulate as ordinary expatriates and did not require any special care. did not immediately block the consulate. After
, considering the arrangements of soldiers in other war zones, Chairman Mao, after discussing with Premier Zhou, issued a new order to adopt military control against these foreign expatriates and restrict their actions.
So now facing Wald's words: "The radio station is the property of the United States. If you submit it, please ask the US government for instructions. You do not have the right to confiscate our radio station now."
Kang Xiuquan, as the deputy director of the Shenyang Military Control Commission, was also the person in charge of receiving Wald this time. He strictly learned from Zhu Qiwen's lesson and said bluntly: "Shenyang is in the military control stage. All radio stations must be submitted, and there is no room for negotiation."
The two sides argued on this issue. After the Xiuquan announced that if the submit is not submitted on time, it will take compulsory measures to collect the radio station of the US Consulate, Wald said in anger, "That is your own business." Then he walked out of the reception room of the Military Control Commission.
After watching Wald's performance, Nie Xiuquan understood that it was almost impossible to ask him to take the radio voluntarily, so he immediately went to the central government to ask whether to force the radio voluntarily confiscate it.
After hearing about this, Chairman Mao immediately said: "He did this to make us forcibly break into the consulate, but now the Northeast is no longer the ruling area of Chiang Kai-shek . We have no relationship with the United States. If they refuse to cooperate, we have the right to take any compulsory measures and even expel them from the country."
At the same time, Premier Zhou also personally issued a notice to instruct the confiscated American radio stations to be properly preserved and return them when they establish diplomatic relations between China and the United States in the future. In addition, since the US consulate refuses to cooperate with the policies of the China Military Control Commission, the military control will have the right to intervene on its own and prohibit the relevant personnel from moving.
After receiving the clear order, Pei Xiuquan immediately led the soldiers to confiscate nine radio stations of the US Consulate and strictly restricted all personnel in the consulate and the outside world.
It was not until this time that the fearless Wald realized that the People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang were different.
Wald, who was angry and embarrassed,
The tough approach of the Chinese People's Liberation Army completely fell into trouble. While Wald was worried about his personal safety, Wald, who had never suffered such an experience in the past 20 years, felt that he had suffered great shame.
Wald, who was trapped in the consulate all day long, was not allowed to communicate with the outside world, and he did not know any news from the outside world, nor did he know that his hidden spy identity had long been exposed to the Communist Party's sight.
After confiscating nine radio stations at one time, Yu Xiuquan felt that there was a hint of strangeness in this matter. After all, if he only communicated with the US government, he would not have used so many radio stations at all.
As expected, during the subsequent investigation, it was found that Wald was not just the consul of the US consulate, but also the spy leader of the US government in the Northeast, responsible for investigating intelligence spy in the Northeast and Inner Mongolia.
In order to confuse the US government and not to overstimulate the United States, which is vigorously supporting Chiang Kai-shek at this time, Chairman Mao ordered the concealment of this matter.
However, Americans who knew nothing about this were still using various means to try to provoke the relationship between the CCP and the Soviet Union. Even when Chairman Mao considered that the war had basically ended and was about to let Wald and others return home, he jumped out again to pretend to be the savior and slander the reputation of the Communist Party of China.
The unbearable Chairman Mao immediately ordered the suspension of the release of Wald and others, and made his spy public.
Wald, who was already ready to return to China, was forced to stay in Shenyang. In addition, his identity as a spy has attracted widespread attention. Wald, who was angry and embarrassed, had been repressed in his heart, was finally released.
He began to pick on the problems of Chinese workers more and more, torture innocent Chinese workers in all kinds of ways, and use this to vent his resentment.
September 27, 1949, seeing that the overall situation was settled, Wald knew that he would never return to the previous days of calling wind and rain, and came up with a very vicious way to torture the hired workers who worked under him.
"Bang bang bang"
Ji Yuheng, who is in his fifties, used all his strength to smash the iron pickaxe in his hand on the pillar in front of him. His clothes were wet over and over again, but the pillar in front of him only had a little bit of slag.
Ji Yuheng endured the soreness of his arms and hit the pillar in front of him desperately, not daring to slack off at all.
and this all stems from a sentence from Wald a few hours ago.
"You, come here!"
Walde, who was passing by the yard at that time, pointed at Ji Yuheng who was demolishing the abandoned garage with others and said: "Drop that pillar, remember to be able to remove it, and you can't rest."
Looking at the cement pillar that Wald mentioned, Ji Yuheng knew that this was the way Wald wanted to make things difficult for him, but Ji Yuheng, who had been bullied, couldn't remember to resist at this time, but he just walked over with a pickaxe silently.
Although Ji Yuheng was so tired that he was sweating profusely and pale, he knew Wald's nature and still didn't dare to be lazy because he knew Wald must be looking at him somewhere.
As expected, just as Yu Yongbin and others could not bear to see, they came over and wanted to help Ji Yuheng smash the pillar together, before they could really swing the hammer, someone ran over and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop. Mr. Wald asked him to do it alone, so you can do your work."
At this time, Wald was standing in the office and looking at Ji Yuheng's sweaty look, and said rumblingly: "No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they are not going to work for me, and they can only listen to me obediently."
Time passed by minute by minute, and Ji Yuheng, who could not hold on, collapsed on the ground.
But Wald, who did not intend to stop, immediately walked out and ordered Ji Yuheng to get up and continue working immediately. The exhausted Ji Yuheng wanted to take a break before continuing to work, but Wald had no room for negotiation.
"Since you can't do it anymore, then you can go. From today on, you have been fired."
There was no unnecessary explanation. Wald left Ji Yuheng who was stunned in the same place and left with a smile on his face. Ji Yuheng, who was tragically dismissed for no reason, was stunned and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
Consulate Beats incident
"Comrades, of the People's Republic of China has been established, the Chinese people have stood up!"
On October 1, 1949, Ji Yuheng, who had been worried at home for three days, suddenly stood up.
Yes, New China has been established, and now Chairman Mao is in charge of our country, why is he still bullied by Wald?
After asking others for the compensation for the fired salary, Ji Yuheng mustered up the courage to return to where he used to work, and he wanted to ask Wald for the compensation he deserved.
Walde, who heard Ji Yuheng's purpose, looked at Ji Yuheng standing in front of him and asked incredible expression: "Do you still want wages, overtime pay and severance pay ? If I don't hold you accountable, it's already a great news. Come back wherever you come from."
" Salary is what I deserve, and you should also give me the overtime and severance expenses. Why can't I get back the money that belongs to me? "
Looking at Ji Yuheng standing in front of him and fighting hard, Wald, who had never thought of paying him, cursing Ji Yuheng angrily, and started to fight while scolding.
Seeing all this, Sikel and others rushed forward and controlled Ji Yuheng. people punched and kicked Ji Yuheng alone, and drove Ji Yuheng to the corner of the stairs.
At this time, Yu Yongbin and others who heard the noise rushed over. Looking at Ji Yuheng, who was covered in blood on his face, lying at the stairs, , who was about to roll down, quickly shouted and rushed up.
Walde and others saw the visitor, and stopped beating Ji Yuheng, and a group of people walked upstairs swaying.
Yu Yong Bin quickly helped Ji Yuheng, who was already unconscious, and asked someone to send him to the hospital quickly. He took several people to the government.

Wald beat Ji Yuheng, a Chinese worker, and caused him to have a severe concussion, quickly spread in the newspaper. At that time, the Chinese workers who were coming out of the exploitation of capitalists responded quickly. The everyone wrote a letter. He demanded that Wald and his men be severely punished.
Chairman Mao was very angry after hearing about the atrocities of Wald and others and immediately ordered Shenyang Municipal People's Government to strictly hear the case.
"Now the Chinese people have stood up, they actually blatantly beat Chinese workers on Chinese territory, and must teach them a lesson. ”
In order to make the Shenyang People's Court ignore Wald's American identity, Chairman Mao also issued a clear instruction: "The United States has not established diplomatic relations with China now, so Wald and others cannot enjoy diplomatic immunity , and everything will be tried according to the ordinary foreign identity. "
After receiving clear instructions, Zhang Yunlong, the president of Shenyang Court, personally tried the case according to Chairman Mao's instructions.
In the end, after collecting a large amount of evidence from people, Zhang Yunlong gave Wald and others no chance to make any quibble. In court, Wald compensated Ji Yuheng for all medical expenses and loss of work, paid Ji Yuheng all the wages and compensation they deserved, and sentenced Wald to 46 months in prison and one year of probation. The rest of the people also received the punishment they deserved.
This trial judgment greatly hit the arrogance of imperialism in China, and also means that the Chinese people really stood up, and no one can bully Chinese citizens at will.
