Preface
Wang Jingwei treason for the country and surrender to the enemy. How much effect did his wife Chen Bijun play? There is a witty remark from the traitor Chen Gongbo : "Mr. Wang cannot succeed without Bijun, and he cannot fail without Bijun."
In 1949, Mao Zedong accepted the suggestion of Soong Ching Ling and considered giving Chen Bijun a chance to reform himself. At that time, Chairman Mao proposed a condition, but was rejected by Chen Bijun.
What kind of woman is this? Why don’t you admit your mistakes until you die? And what role did she play on the road of Wang Jingwei's connection with the enemy and selling the country?
Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun
Chen Bijun also had a history of striving for progress
1951, when Chen Bijun was 60 years old, he wrote more than 50,000 confessions in Shanghai Prison. That page of Real Books Traditional Chinese fly-headed small characters. Although most of the article is to evaluate her merits, as long as you read it carefully, it is not difficult to see her crime of betraying the motherland.
Chen Bijun, a woman who played various roles on the Chinese political stage in the 1930s and 1940s, actually had a history of hard work and striving for progress. On November 5, 1891, Chen Bijun was born in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. Her father was a literate businessman and her mother was a farmer girl, and she also knew some words. Parents have strict requirements for their children, and all children will be sent to school when they reach school age. Although Chen Bijun is a girl, she received a good education when she was young. In addition, she is naturally smart, studious and motivated, and has always had good grades when she was studying in school.
In 1905, Chen Bijun went to Japan to study. At that time, Wang Jingwei was also in Japan. They both joined the assassination group and often moved together, and the two developed deep feelings. During his study in Japan and after returning to China, Chen Bijun was full of vitality and enthusiasm. He participated in the revolutionary movement to overthrow the feudal dynasty and the old democratic dynasty, and performed very bravely in the Battle of Huanghuagang.
1912, Chen Bijun and Wang Jingwei went to France to study. In 1920, they went to the United States to explain the truth about the rebellion and revolution. In 1929, Sun Yat-sen reorganized the Kuomintang and was elected as a member of the Central Supervisory Commission. In short, Chen Bijun made some contributions to China's revolutionary cause before the Japanese invasion of China.
However, because she was so popular, she was ambitious and had too strong power, she performed a series of crimes with Wang Jingwei and others in an attempt to defect to Japanese imperialism and establish the Wang Dynasty after 1937.
Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun
In her confession, there is a passage:
"Since the Lugou Bridge Incident, Jiang (Jieshi) lost half of China's land in a year, and before the enemy arrived, he abandoned the land and fled first. If the war of resistance is true, the enemy will get me inch of land, which is like swallowing burning charcoal. He will first kill his mouth and burn it (and then) and then swallow it temporarily. This is easy and easy , so one can be saved, and it is not the so-called anti-Japanese war... Therefore, Wang (Jingwei) thought that since he could not "not" or "resist" to resist the war, it would be better to reconcile, so as to preserve the land and people that have not yet been lost, and to (have been lost), it can also be regained. "Although this passage of
is half text and half vernacular, twists and turns, it is not difficult to see that she was saying that because Chiang Kai-shek could not resist Japan and was unwilling to resist Japan, Wang Jingwei advocated peace talks with Japan and surrendered to Japan. In this passage, no matter how she develops her guilt, she cannot cover up Wang Jingwei's face of selling the country and betraying the enemy.
In fact, the fallacies of Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun treason for surrendering to the enemy are far more than these.
The role Chen Bijun plays next to Wang Jingwei
Chen Bijun is fierce in society and is very popular. In her family, she also said that others dare not say two. This is well known to people at that time. So, what role did she play in Wang Jingwei's criminal activity of selling the country and surrendering to the enemy? This is not mentioned in Chen Bijun's confession at all. However, Chen Gongbo, the traitor of , had a wonderful comment: "Mr. Wang cannot succeed without Bijun, and he cannot fail without Bijun."
Chen Gongbo
The fact is like this. Around July 1938, Chiang Kai-shek sent the Asian Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gao Zongwu to Japan for peace many times through Chen Bulei . However, Gao Zongwu was working for Chiang Kai-shek on the surface, but secretly colluded with Japanese spies to investigate. When he went to Japan, he thought that Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei were acting in a "double act". He was very angry that Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to investigate the conditions but was slow to express his opinion. He decided to use Chiang Kai-shek as his opponent in peace talks, and was very interested in Wang Jingwei.
Chiang Kai-shek learned that Gao Zongwu had colluded with Japanese spies, and learned about the Japanese's psychology, and called Secretary-General Chen Bulei to be furious: "Gao Zongwu is a bastard, who told him to go to Japan? "
Chen Bulei was stunned and speechless when he was questioned. He felt very wronged. It was you, Chiang Kai-shek, who asked me to send someone to Japan to inquire about and discuss the conditions. Besides, the situation that Gao Zongwu obtained through Japanese spies is real, and there is nothing wrong with these. Besides, you, President Jiang, have not warned me many times that politics is a secret, and there is no politics beyond secrets. There is no need to know what a politician does with his left hand, but the right hand is not aware of how to blame me now.
Chen Bulei saw that Chiang Kai-shek's already cold face was so angry that he did not dare to explain. On the first day, he ordered the suspension of Gao Zongwu's activities funds and ordered him to return to Hankou immediately. After Gao Zongwu returned to Hankou, he learned that Chiang Kai-shek hated him very much, so he wanted to rely on Wang Jingwei. He and Tao Xisheng secretly discussed countermeasures. The two agreed that if Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to surrender to Japan, he would pick up Wang Jingwei and make another trick.
Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng
Quest, Fohai , Tao Xisheng frequently wooed Wang Jingwei and encouraged him to stand up. He often went to Wang Jingwei's house and secretly colluded with Chen Bijun to make her respond. Wang Jingwei had no confidence in the war of resistance, and Chen Bijun felt deeply in his own way and life was sad. The couple discussed that if one day they could become king, even though they lost the five northeastern provinces, The court is young, but he is the emperor.
Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng conveyed the thoughts of Wang Jingwei and his wife to Gao Zongwu. Gao Zongwu actively acted. He and the secretary-general of the second part of the Kuomintang Military Commission Mei Siping (Gao Zongwu's fellow townsman, two of them have close relationships) signed a secret agreement with Japanese spies in Shanghai in the name of Wang Jingwei's representative. The content of the agreement was to let the Japanese support Wang Jingwei to establish an anti-Chiang Kai-shek and anti-communist The new regime of the Communist Party will then be held.
In October 1938, Mei Siping, director of the Second Secretariat of the Kuomintang Military Commission, brought the secret agreement back to Chongqing, and handed it over to Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun through Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng, and offered suggestions for promoting Wang Jingwei as a puppet. Chen Bijun was overjoyed and thought that Wang Jingwei was about to ascend to the throne of the throne of the lord of a country. retained Mei Siping very affectionately. It means to hold a banquet for him to say goodbye.
After Mei Siping left, Zhou Fohai, Tao Xisheng and others hurriedly drove away. They ran around to follow Wang Jingwei and escaped from Chiang Kai-shek's control. Chen Bijun also ran for the smooth run for these people. In early October, she took her nephew Chen Chunpu , who had just returned from Vietnam to Hunan and Guangxi provinces to explore the reality of the preparations for the anti-Japanese war. She met with Long Yun, the chairman of Yunnan Province, many times, and made a first communication The decision to travel through Kunming to Hanoi, Vietnam. Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng formulated an action plan according to his decision. On November 5, Zhou Fohai flew to Kunming to prepare for the reception of Wang Jingwei. On December 8, Wang Jingwei and his group took off in Chongqing.
However, an accident suddenly occurred in the middle. On December 6, Chiang Kai-shek flew back to Chongqing from the front line. He ordered Chen Bule to send a telegram to Zhou Fohai and asked him to return to office immediately. Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun Because the action plan was exposed, he was so scared that he was restless and immediately sent people to find out the news.
Wang Jingwei
They had a false alarm. It turned out that Jiang Jieshi had a whim on the front line and decided to convene all young Central Committee members to give a speech. According to convention, the vice president of the Kuomintang could not attend such a meeting. So Wang Jingwei made a quick decision and set off immediately.
A few dozen minutes before Wang Jingwei left home, Chen Bijun and others had already arrived at Chongqing Coralba Airport. It happened that the Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou was about to take this plane to Kunming. Chen Bijun waited for Wang Jingwei on the left and did not come, and he was so anxious that sweat beads oozing from his nose.
But she was a scheming woman after all. When she saw Zhou Zhirou standing there looking around, she signaled to accompany her Zeng Zhongming to greet Zhou Zhirou, and told him in a gentle way that Mrs. Wang had something to go to Kunming, but Zhou Zhirou had no doubts at all. The scheduled departure time for
is about to come, and Wang Jingwei is still missing. Chen Bijun instructs his followers: "Go to the airport to indicate that Mr. Wang has boarded the plane and ordered the plane to take off temporarily." However, as soon as Chen Bijun finished speaking, a car rushed from the coral dam, and Wang Jingwei accompanied the guards on the plane. Zhou Zhirou saw Wang Jingwei and his wife and hurriedly met. It was not until the plane took off that Chen Bijun told Zhou Zhirou that Mr. Wang was going to Kunming to give a speech.
Wang Jingwei stayed in Kunming for 24 hours, took off from Kunming the afternoon of the next day, and flew to Hanoi in the evening. After Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun left Chongqing, they arranged in advance, and some people in China immediately created public opinion for them, saying: "The views on war between Chiang and Wang are consistent, and the differences are only on the issue of the CCP. Wang believes that only by peace with Japan can we have the strength to deal with the CCP; Chiang believes that only by continuing to resist the war can we block the Communist Party's mouth. At least, the peace talks should not be known to the CCP."
After Wang Jingwei and his wife and Tao Xisheng, Zhou Fohai and Zeng Zhongming arrived in Hanoi, Wang Jingwei first took Zeng Zhongming to stay in Hanoi, and Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng rushed to Hong Kong for activities, while Chen Bijun contacted Hong Kong and Hanoi. Before taking off from Kunming, Wang Jingwei secretly sent a secret message to Chen Gongbo to meet in Hanoi. Chen Gongbo immediately set off to take a plane to Wang Jingwei to participate in treason activities.
Wang Jingwei
On December 20, Japan issued the third resignation statement of the Prime Minister of Guards. When Wang Jingwei heard the statement, he immediately responded and immediately handed over the pre-written telegraph to Chen Gongbo to take it to Hong Kong, and instructed him to find Gu Mengyu and Zhou Fohai to study and discuss it, and handed it over to Lin Bosheng to send it out in Hong Kong.
Gu Mengyu saw this telegram and said that he could not send it. Chen Gongbo said that he could do anything, and Zhou Fohai tried his best to send it out. Lin Bosheng said: "Mr. Wang's telegram was assigned to me. If you don't agree, I will send it out, and I will bear the responsibility. Anyway, I don't want you to be famous, and you have no right to object."
In this way, Wang Jingwei notoriously responded to the proposal of Japanese Prime Minister Kobaya, and then negotiated "peace", and finally issued the telegram on December 29, 1938 by Lin Bosheng's hand, leaving behind historical evidence of crime and the slander of future generations.
Since Wang Jingwei's telegram was published in Hong Kong, the conflict between Jiang and Wang has become increasingly fierce, and Wang Jingwei has become more and more isolated day by day. In order to get out of the predicament, Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun secretly discussed the strategy. It can be said that Chen Bijun is Wang Jingwei's right-hand assistant in . Every step he takes has Chen Bijun's "contributions". Without Chen Bijun's advice and diplomatic skills, Wang Jingwei may not be able to reach the position of vice president of the Kuomintang. So at this time, Wang Jingwei still had to ask Chen Bijun for advice.
Chen Bijun advocated that his right-hand assistant Ye Peng bring the troops to Guangzhou, while Wang Jingwei advocated moving, living directly in the French Concession, and then going to France. Finally, Chen Bijun insisted on acting according to her own opinions, and she asked Tao Xisheng to discuss with Ye Peng.
Tao Xisheng
Tao Xisheng came to Father Jin Road and explained his purpose after meeting Ye Peng. Ye Peng said that it is impossible to take the troops to Guangzhou. First, the troops are not strong and have no combat effectiveness. Second, mobilizing the troops requires the assistance of the Japanese side. Third, even if you arrive in Guangzhou, you are still living under someone else's roof and can't raise your head, which is no different from being in Shanghai. Therefore, Chen Bijun had to put aside his proposal to set up another mountain.
After learning about Wang Jingwei's situation, Japanese spies immediately came to Yuyuan Road . Wang Jingwei expressed his intention to move to him and issue a statement. Wang Jingwei said something, and the spy wrote something in his diary.When Wang Jingwei finished speaking, the spy stood up and said solemnly: "I will return to Tokyo immediately, report to the Prime Minister, and request to interfere. I will immediately assist Mr. Wang in relocation and ask the French Concession to set up defenses."
On the same day, the French Concession to mobilize more than 200 patrols, scattered in the Fululi Road area to protect Wang Jingwei from relocation here. At the same time, Wang Jingwei convened a meeting of his subordinates to announce the Japanese spies help him move, and also introduced the process of his talks with the spy. When he said that Yingzuo's tears fell onto his diary, he lowered and slowed down his voice: "It seems that Yingzuo is still sincere." At the
meeting, Tao Xisheng stood up and spoke: "Does Mr. Wang believe Yingzuo's tears?..." Before he could say the next sentence "That's the crocodile's tears", a man shouted loudly: "You are too much!" The next morning, Chen Bijun told Tao Xisheng that the Japanese spy Yingzuo set off to go back to Tokyo, and he would talk about it when he arrived in Shanghai. Don't mention what happened yesterday for the time being.
This is just a smoke screen for Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun to distrust Tao Xisheng. Wang Jingwei's actions of treason and surrendering to the enemy did not restrain themselves, but reached its peak. In late December, the secret negotiations between Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Chen Gongbo and the Japanese will be concluded. Chen Bijun sent people to Hong Kong to urge Chen Gongbo to come to Shanghai. The "Attention" document was slightly revised, but the main content has not changed. Wang Jingwei is scheduled to officially sign on December 31. At this time, a friend secretly told Tao Xisheng that someone was going to assassinate him. Tao Xisheng said that he was sick and did not participate in the signing.
Tao Xisheng
1940 New Year's Day, in order not to arouse Wang Jingwei's suspicion, Tao Xisheng went to Yuyuan Road to wish Wang Jingwei's family a happy New Year. Chen Bijun dragged Tao Xisheng to persuade him to sign a secret contract. After Tao Xisheng returned home, he happened to catch up with Gao Zongwu to greet him. Tao Xisheng said to Gao Zongwu with depression: "They have a conspiracy that is not conducive to you, what should you do?" Gao Zongwu blurted out: "Let's go!" In fact, since Gao Zongwu was tempted by the Soong Mei-ling and sent people to and was threatened by the military commander elements, he had the idea of escaping from this dangerous situation. He hooked up with , Du Yuesheng and through his acquaintances. Du Yuesheng asked Chiang Kai-shek and sent someone to book a ticket for Gao Zongwu, hoping that he would go with Tao Xisheng.
On June 4, 1940, under the strict protection of Du Yuesheng's subordinates, Gao Zongwu boarded the US "President Hoover" according to the booking plan. Tao Xisheng left his wife and three children, took a car to the Cathay Pacific Hotel on Nanjing Road alone, transferred to the taxi from the back door of the hotel building, went straight to , Huangpu River Wharf , and arrived in Hong Kong smoothly.
Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun were shocked when they learned that Tao Xisheng had fled Shanghai and went to Hong Kong. They were afraid that Tao Xisheng, who had been involved in the traitoring activities, would spread their conspiracy to the world, so they sent batches of plainclothes detectives to track them back and forth.
Tao Xisheng's wife Bingru went to find Chen Bijun. When Chen Bijun saw Bingru, she said to him, "I sent someone to your house. You always say that you are a relative of the Tao family and don't admit that you are a wife. What political work are you doing?"
Bingru was a little scared when she saw Chen Bijun's aggressive look. She whispered, "I am a countryman, I don't know what politics, and Xisheng doesn't tell me what Xisheng does. I heard that he went to Hong Kong and threw me and my children here." At this time, she wiped her eyes, "I decided to go to the fragrance myself." Hong Kong, take him back to Shanghai."
Chen Bijun turned his eyes to Wang Jingwei and said, "It depends on what Mr. Wang means."
Wang Jingwei
Wang Jingwei said nothing at first. Just then, someone sent a letter in . Wang Jingwei opened it and looked at it. It turned out that it was sent by Tao Xisheng from Hong Kong. The letter said, "If I frame my family, I will go to extremes." helpless, Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun agreed to send Bingru to Hong Kong. As soon as Bingru left, Chen Bijun detained Tao Xisheng's three children in Shanghai as hostages.
As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, Tao Xisheng asked Bingru to send a telegram to Chen Bijun, saying, "Xi Sheng can return to Shanghai with you." Immediately, he secretly asked Du Yuesheng to help plan and rescue the three children who were hostage in Shanghai.
On November 20, three hostages were secretly sent back to Hong Kong. On November 21, Tao Xisheng and Gao Zongwu disclosed the full text of Wang Jingwei's secret "fixed group" of traitors to the enemy through Chongqing's Central News Agency President Xiao Tongzi.
The demolition of Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng is not the first or later. Just as Wang Jingwei's conspiracy is about to succeed, the Qingdao talks have entered a critical stage, which has dealt a heavy blow to the "remaining" that Wang Jingwei claims.
Chen Bijun was at home at that time. After hearing the news, she was furious and sent all her anger on her subordinates. But the experienced woman quickly calmed down and came up with a solution. She immediately called her nephew and ordered anxiously: "Chunpu, Tao Xisheng and Gao Zongwu two bad guys made public the secret agreement between your uncle and the Japanese in the newspaper. Hurry up, you immediately post a conversation in the name of "Chairman Wang followed the Secretary-General" to refute the rumors."
Chen Bijun
1945, Japan announced unconditional surrender. Chen Gongbo took a telegram from Hong Kong to Guangzhou and told Chen Bijun that the Japanese were willing to pick them up. But at this time, Chen Bijun had agreed with , Chu Minyi, and would not go anywhere.
On September 10, the Kuomintang sent South China Agent Director Zheng Heying to ask Chen Bijun and Chu Minyi to go to Chongqing for a meeting.
The cunning Chen Bijun saw that this was a trap, and Chu Minyi smiled bitterly and said, "To this day, no matter whether he is true or not."
At this time, Chen Bijun, who has always been calm in danger, was also confused. He simply cleaned up and followed Zheng Heying with Chu Minyi to board the bank of Zhujiang on September 12th under the "protected" of Zhai Yingji, who was full of American equipment. When the boat was halfway through, Zheng Heying showed another telegram saying that Chu Minyi had something to stay in Chengdu and asked him to send Chen Bijun and his entourage to a safe area for proper protection.
That night, he took a boat to drive into a small river. After getting ashore, he saw a tall building facing water. As soon as Chen Bijun entered the door, he heard a very familiar voice. When he walked into the inner hall, he found that the Director of Finance had already come one step ahead of her. She understood everything, and Chiang Kai-shek would not spare her.
Chen Bijun
stubborn, Chen Bijun missed his last chance
In October 1945, Chen Bijun was sentenced to life imprisonment for "betrayal of the motherland" and was taken to Suzhou Siqian Street Detention Center.
On July 1, 1949, Chen Bijun was transferred to a female prison in Shanghai prison and imprisoned.
In fact, until then, Chen Bijun was not dead. New China was just established, and Soong Ching Ling and He Xiangning had pleaded with Chairman Mao together. They believed that Chen Bijun’s problem was still different from Wang Jingwei. After all, Wang Jingwei was the decision-maker, and Chen Bijun was just a participant.
In response to this, Chairman Mao also decided to give Chen Bijun a chance to reform himself, but the Chairman proposed that Chen Bijun should write a plea statement.
Mao Zedong
So, So, Soong Ching Ling and He Xiangning wrote a letter to Chen Bijun in prison, hoping that she would accept Chairman Mao’s suggestion and write down her crime, but Chen Bijun refused because she always insisted that she did not sell her country.
is in prison, no matter how the discipline persuades him, Chen Bijun treats him as if he doesn't hear it. Discipline asked her to write about the process of her crime, but Chen Bijun picked up her pen and waved it, writing a thousand words of "revolutionary history".
In 1952, 67-year-old Chen Bijun fell ill and the discipline officer took her to the hospital. In the hospital, Chen Bijun received good treatment. For this reason, she also wrote in her thought report during her hospitalization that she finally understood why the people's government can gain the trust and support of the people, because of the excellent quality of the government staff.
Later, Chen Bijun's ideological transformation had some "effective" in some trivial matters of life, but on major issues, such as how she assisted Wang Jingwei in treason and surrendering to the enemy and harming the country and the people, her ideological transformation had little effect, and could even be said to be stubborn.
On June 17, 1959, Chen Bijun died in Shanghai Prison, and her children had long been scattered overseas. It was not until the second year that the ashes were taken away, and at this ended her sinful life.
