Chen Gongbo, from Beimen, Guangzhou. His father, Chen Zhimei, suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in his early years, and later followed Sun Yat-sen in the revolution, and devoted all his life to pulling the emperor down. Therefore, the Chen family is quite famous in the North Gate area. This is why, when he was 18 years old, he became a local councillor. According to historical records, Chen Gongbo had a good start in his life, starting from a very high point. He entered politics when he was 15 years old. In 1920, with the encouragement of Cai Yuanpei and others, Chen Gongbo returned to his hometown and founded the "Guangdong Group Newspaper", with his mission to promote new ideas and new culture, and he had a great influence in Guangdong's intellectual circles.
It can be said unceremoniously that if Chen Gongbo continues along this road, his achievements will definitely not be under Hu Shi! But God seemed to make a joke with him. In 1922, Chen Jiongming rebelled, and many people of insight opposed and accused Chen Jiongming. However, Chen Gongbo issued an open letter in support of Chen Jiongming and wrote to Chen Duxiu, accusing him of interfering in his private life and preventing him from studying abroad. Then, he decisively left and went to the United States, taking the wrong first step. According to historical records, in 1925, at the appointment of Liao Zhongkai, Chen Gongbo returned to Guangzhou and joined the Kuomintang.
According to information, in the following years, Chen Gongbo often went to and from the homes of Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek, and he became the party secretary of the Kuomintang Central Committee as he wished to. Under Wang Jingwei's support, Chen Gongbo became an executive member of the Kuomintang Central Committee in just two years and squeezed into the Kuomintang Central leadership. If nothing happens, his life, like Chen Cheng, Sun Liren, etc., will become the mainstay of the Kuomintang. Unfortunately this time, Chen Gongbo followed the wrong person.
In 1938, Wang Jingwei fled from Chongqing and began the road of treason. Chen Gongbo also fled to Hong Kong with him, and wrote a book called "Surprised Smile", probably for him Find psychological comfort for your own traitorous behavior. In 1940, Wang Jingwei established the Puppet National Government in Nanjing, and Chen Gongbo became the president of the Legislative Yuan, making him the second largest traitor. After Wang Jingwei's death in 1944, he once succeeded Wang Jingwei and became the acting chairman and chief executive of the pseudo-national government. In the eyes of traitors, Chen Gongbo's life has reached its peak. But in fact, this is also the beginning of his end. According to historical records, after Japan's surrender in 1945, Chen Gongbo fled to Japan with his wife Li Lizhuang, known as the top beauty in the KMT.
But due to Chiang Kai-shekβs pressure, Emperor Hirohito finally sent someone to escort Chen Gongbo and Li Lizhuang back to China. In 1946, Chen Gongbo was sentenced to death by the Jiangsu High Court. Li Lizhuang broke his secret, saying that although Chen Gongbo had been a traitor, he was actually instigated by Dai Li as early as 1940. Dai Li asked him to make a one-line contact with Juntong agent Xu Tianshen. The latter actually became Chen Gongbo's telegraph operator. Through Xu Tianshen, Chen Gongbo passed a lot of secret information to the Chiang Kai-shek government. Therefore, Li Lizhuang urged the Jiangsu High Court to exempt Chen Gongbo from the death penalty. But obviously, no one believed her words, so Chen Gongbo was still shot! So, after the death of the traitor Chen Gongbo, what will happen to his beautiful wife?
According to historical records, Li Lizhuang was released after being detained for three days due to insufficient evidence of traitorousness. It later went to the United States. Because of fear of being assassinated by Chiang Kai-shek's agents, he suffered from depression and died soon. Their eldest son is Chen Gan, who wrote a letter condemning his father's traitors. After Chen Gongbo's death, Chen Gan went to the United States with his mother and changed his name to Jack Liu. According to historical records, this person is particularly averse to political intrigue, but he has a business acumen. He started his own company and is now worth more than 100 million yuan. But he seems to want to do something for his father, so he often contributes to the motherland in various ways, so he is respected by the people.
