In the 1980s and 1990s, the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan gradually broke through the ice. The signing of 
992 Consensus also became a bridge for people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to communicate with each other. At that time, people across the country were looking forward to the Taiwan treasure island returning to the embrace of their motherland, and the people living in Taiwan also hoped to achieve the long-cherished wish of visiting relatives in another place through breaking the ice between the governments. Therefore, at that time, the trend of "going to Taiwan, going to the mainland" was formed in society.
When the cross-strait visits to relatives were completely opened, the Kuomintang government sent an invitation to a person from Beijing, and this person was called Huang Wei, who once served as the second-in-command of Chiang Kai-shek within the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang offered him very generous conditions, saying that would reimburse Huang Wei for 27 years' salary for lieutenant general, but no one expected that Huang Wei rejected the proposal of the Taiwan authorities.

He said: "I am not going to receive any reward or official position when I go there, but just meet my good friends. Another thing is to activate cross-strait relations. I cannot receive such a salary. No matter what kind of benefits you give me, I will not accept it. Because I cannot let any of your parties down." After expressing his wish, Huang Wei indeed boarded the ship to Taiwan alone. He did not communicate too much with the politicians of the Kuomintang. Instead, as he said, he only swept the graves for his old friends and Chiang Kai-shek. So why did Huang Wei say that he did not want to let any party down?
The old stubborn who doesn't listen to the transformation
The reason why Huang Wei expressed his wish to the Kuomintang is because he has been in prisoners of war in Beijing for several years. Although his early performance was not satisfactory, he was able to reverse his knots for many years in the later period and shake hands with Chinese Communist Party .
Power of War
You should know that it is very difficult for Huang Wei to complete such a transformation. Many of the staff managers of the prisoners of war department actually burst into tears after hearing Huang Wei's ideological changes. They have never seen such a stubborn person, nor have they seen such a general loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
You should know that when the People's Liberation Army soldiers captured Pingjin, Fu Zuoyi only negotiated with the Communist Party of China for a year before putting down his weapons. However, Huang Wei, who was not as good as Fu Zuoyi, always supported Chiang Kai-shek and refused to accept the leadership and transformation of the party.
1 In 948, the CCP planned to launch the Huaihai Battle in the autumn because the previous Liaoshen Battle was very beautiful. PLA soldiers drove the Kuomintang away with an overwhelming advantage, so the number and combat effectiveness of the Chinese PLA army put a lot of pressure on Chiang Kai-shek. As the front line continues to move southward, the Huaihai Battle is imperative.

In August, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Huang Wei, who was handling affairs in the military academy, inviting him to come out to fight. But Huang Wei was very rigid. He actually called Chiang Kai-shek back: " There are many things in military academy now. I have to deal with things here. Can I find someone else to go to war?" Chiang Kai-shek saw Huang Wei's telegram and cursed angrily: "Mom Xipi, this old stubborn."
There are not many people who can make Chiang Kai-shek helpless but scold him, and the old stubbornness he mentioned appropriately illustrates Huang Wei's life.
In order to let him go out to fight, Chiang Kai-shek sent his confidant Chen Cheng to persuade Huang Wei. Sure enough, Chen Cheng made Huang Wei accept the appointment with just one sentence. He said: "Now the party and the country are employed. If you don't want to accept the orders of the chairman now, you are betraying the party and the country and the chairman!"
Chen Cheng
This sentence is like a bright light shining in front of Huang Wei. The least he wants to be called betrayal in his life, because what he sticks to is "loyalty" and "loyalty and righteousness"., and Chiang Kai-shek also promised him that as long as he could win the battle, he could still go back to the military academy to continue to be a teacher. Only after hearing this did Huang Wei send troops with confidence.
Although Huang Wei's battle was very beautiful and the generals were dispatched very well, it was a pity that the situation was hopeless and the Huaihai Battle was launched in all directions with lightning speed. Although he led the troops to fight fiercely, the PLA's layers of offensives made him exhausted, and Huang Wei had been infiltrated by many underground party members of our party. He was attacked inside and outside and was finally surrounded in the Suxian area.
The letter of help he gave to Chiang Kai-shek was like a rock sinking into the sea without any response. At this time, he was still very stubborn and refused to believe that it was Chiang Kai-shek who gave up on him. Even if the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, Liu Bocheng and Chen Yi , the veteran general sent a telegram to Huang Wei to see the situation clearly, Huang Wei even angrily scolded the two as traitors.
Huang Wei
"I was born and raised here. The principal has the kindness of knowing me. I will not betray the party and the country even if I die. Moreover, loyal ministers do not worship the two masters, and I will never surrender to the enemy even if I die here." If this statement was placed in the feudal period, it would be a good and loyal general, but it would be a bit ridiculous in such a decadent Jiang family dynasty.
But no one can laugh, because Huang Wei has always done this. He is not as simple as saying it. He and other officers carry suicide items with him . Just as the soldiers surrendered to survive, an officer shot all the brothers who tried to put down their weapons. Huang Wei could not have shot at his own people like him, so he was captured by the People's Liberation Army.
The captured Huang Wei was taken to the War Criminals Management Center, where he wanted to baptize and educate his thoughts, but unfortunately Huang Wei once again played out his loyalty and righteousness .
Huang Wei
"I am the favorite student of the Chairman. The loyal ministers do not worship the second master and have never done anything unfavorable to the country. Why do I ask me to plead guilty and reform? You are deliberately making false propaganda to our soldiers. You are the most hypocritical!" This is what Huang Wei said in the Prisoner of War Management Office. In addition to these words, he is also always preparing to commit suicide, because he feels that being captured means losing the face of the party and the country, and Chiang Kai-shek's face. He could not tolerate the ideological education of Communist , so he had to choose to die.
Later, the people from the management office told him that it was not only him who was transforming here. In addition to him, there are people like Yang Botao , Du Yuming . They are actively learning Marxism-Leninist ideas and strive to release and reunite with their families as soon as possible. However, Huang Wei criticized these people, and said that they are villains and forgot their loyalty in order to survive.
Du Yuming
After hearing Du Yuming write down the reading notes of "On the Protracted War" , he scolded the other party as a matter of no principles. In addition to these, he often struggled with a group of stubborn soldiers in the War Criminal Management Office against those soldiers who were actively undergoing transformation. The management staff of the management office were helpless because they had never seen such a stubborn Kuomintang general.
Huang Wei’s personal experience
In fact, whether a person’s thoughts can be turned around in time is not because of the situation the person faces. Huang Wei is such a person. He will not correct his thoughts because of the change in the situation. On the contrary, he has always adhered to his beliefs and three views. The reason why he was able to become a nail household that had not been released for more than 20 years was related to the education and experience he received since childhood.
Prison of War
Huang Wei was born in Jiangxi. At that time, Jiangxi was being trampled by warlords and invaded by foreign powers, so life was not easy there.But even so, his family sent him to a private school in . At that time, civilizations in all aspects had not yet poured into this remote place in Jiangxi. The education received by Huang Wei was still the same as Confucian 's Three Bonds and Five Constant and the monarch and ministers, father and son . Therefore, the two words "etiquette and righteousness" and "loyalty and righteousness" took root in his heart.
If you receive such education, you will inevitably become a believer in this education. Huang Wei taught in the primary school in his hometown after graduation. He and Communist Party member Fang Zhimin are fellow villagers. They talked about their ideals of saving the country together and were very incompatible. Later he and Fang Zhimin heard that Whampoa Military Academy was jointly established by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
So he and a group of classmates went to Guangzhou to sign up for the army, So Huang Wei is the first class student of the Whampoa Military Academy. Xu Xiangqian, Zuo Quan, and Chen Geng are all his classmates and have a deep friendship with him. When the Zhongshan ship incident broke out, the students of the Whampoa Military Academy faced two choices, and Huang Wei resolutely moved to one of the group of people from the Kuomintang.
Chen Geng
Huang Wei, who developed within the Kuomintang, was promoted step by step. After studying at Army University , he became Chen Cheng's confidant . Later, because of his excellent battle to encircle and suppress the Red Army, he was promoted again.
Huang Wei is a very contradictory person. He clearly holds the ideal of saving the country and the people, but he does not know how to unite his comrades and unite the Communist Party to fight foreign aggression. Instead, he accepts the appointment of Chairman Jiang and loyally encircle and suppress the Red Army.
So his loyalty and ideals are very narrow-minded and are limited to the situation he is in. When he was 34 years old, the position of commander of the 18th Army fell on him, which shows the blood debt he committed in the Red Army Soviet area.
1937 Anti-Japanese National United Front was established, and Battle of Shanghai broke out. At this time, Huang Wei's ideal of loyalty and the concept of saving the country were once again in line with the same place. He led a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the enemy in Songhu.
Songhu Battle
He took the 67th Division Commander to brave the enemy's artillery fire and tanks continued to compete for Luodian. In the end, this battle was not successful, but the Luodian battle, known as "Flesh Mill" , made Huang Wei famous in the battle. Since then, Chiang Kai-shek began to focus on promoting his loyalty and righteous spirit within the Kuomintang, which made Huang Wei very useful. Because he has always adhered to the traditional Confucian morality, and the concept of loyalty and righteousness of the monarch and ministers also made him stubborn.
Of course, his loyalty not only angered the CCP administrators in the prisoners of war, but even made Chiang Kai-shek helpless. At that time, after the end of 's Northern Expedition, the Kuomintang quickly fell into an atmosphere of corruption, and all the senior generals of the Kuomintang were greedy and corrupt.
Guo Rugui
But among these people, two of them are very eye-catching. One is an underground party member, Guo Rugui , who was then a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang, represented the integrity and justice of the party, so he has never been corrupted by the Kuomintang. The other is Huang Wei , who is a well-founded and born in the Kuomintang. He hates the corrupt and degenerate atmosphere within the party, and even once rejects those generals who are seeking pleasure. Anyone who dared to take him to the Fireworks Alley or offer him a lot of money would cause him a lot of scolding.
"Can't let them down"
It can be seen from this that Huang Wei is a "scholar" in the traditional sense, and his loyalty and righteousness in his heart is limited to his "jun". If it weren't for his "jun" and his "minister", he would not have saved it with his own strength. This explains why he never said bad things about Chiang Kai-shek in the POW Management Office, nor did he realize the reasons for the mistakes of the Kuomintang. He even fought with those soldiers who actively transformed their thoughts in order to cover up the mistakes of the Kuomintang.
Huang Wei (right)
This means that in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek is his king, and as a minister, he will follow the principal for the rest of his life. So the management office experienced seven pardons in total, but Huang Wei repeatedly did not appear on the list of pardons because of his stubbornness.
But his stubbornness did not stop until the outbreak of The Battle of Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea . The victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea made Huang Wei stunned. He did not expect that the Communist general who was a traitor in his heart could become a god in one battle on the international battlefield and break the myth of the invincible US military.
You should know that the Kuomintang was able to have so many elite soldiers and powerful equipment with the support of the US military. Therefore, this fact caused a huge spiritual impact on Huang Wei, and also made the morality in his heart that he had always adhered to was strongly shaken. He not only began to reflect on which was wrong between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang back then, but whether the loyalty and righteousness he had insisted on for many years was fundamentally wrong.
Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea
When his thoughts began to shake, Huang Wei also gradually took action. He took the initiative to learn " Communist Manifesto " and "On Protracted War", and even he took the initiative to ask the management personnel to take him to see the construction of Beijing City . After accepting a series of visits, Huang Wei's three views were refreshed. After seeing a prosperous scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears, because he finally realized his mistakes and realized that his persistence for so many years was actually stupid loyalty.
At that time, Huang Wei was already 71 years old, and even if he was released, he could not do anything. However, during the 1975 amnesty, Huang Wei was also released because of his good ideological transformation.
After more than ten years of ordinary life and when cross-strait relations were liberalized, the Kuomintang authorities invited him to live in Taiwan and proposed to repay his 27-year salary of Lieutenant General, but Huang Wei refused at once.
slogan
He said: "I just want to meet my old friend and worship Chairman Jiang, the leader of my passerby. Another thing is to make some of my own contributions to the peaceful development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. I have no other ideas. Because I can't let those people down, my fellow villager Fang Zhimin is my good friend. Mr. Jiang has been kind to me, and Chen Cheng is also very good to me. The Communist Party has recreated my kindness to me. I can't let anyone down. So I will not accept your invitation."
Huang Wei's ability to say this shows that he has achieved a complete ideological change after his life of stubbornness. Later, he took the initiative to ask the government to arrange a job for him, hoping to do something beneficial to the people. At that time, the government considered his identity and asked him to serve as the cultural and historical commissioner of National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference , hoping that he could promote peaceful reunification of the cross-strait with his special identity.

Faced with the generous treatment of the Communist Party, Huang Wei said excitedly: "If I don't do anything while I can still move, then I have regrets for this country."
