In 1967, such a hero appeared in Yongdeng County, Gansu Province. He used his flesh and blood to block an illegal element's conspiracy to bomb the bridge.
Unfortunately, in the process of "fighting" with criminals, he was accidentally injured by explosives and lost his left hand forever.
However, the country and the people will not treat such a hero unfairly. His deeds were soon published in newspapers and later included in elementary school textbooks for young people across the country to learn.
However, such a heroic deed was discovered to be a shocking scam eighteen years later, and a liar was regarded as a hero for so long. What happened back then? How did this so-called "hero" realize this scam?

destroy the reactionary conspiracy and become the hero of the people
Everything starts from the late night on December 17, 1967.
In order to develop the economy of the western region, the country built a cement bridge in Chimuha Village, Liancheng Township, Yongdeng County, Gansu Province, called Datong River Bridge.
With the economic development of our country at that time, it was a considerable price to build the Datong River Bridge, and this bridge quickly became an important transportation channel in the local area.
On weekdays, residents near the bridge take good care of this bridge, for fear of any mistakes in the bridge, but unexpectedly, an accident happened that night.
At around nine o'clock that night, the villagers of Chihamu Village finished their day of work and almost all had gone to bed to rest. The whole village was also in tranquility.
Liu Xuebao
But at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside the village, which instantly woke many villagers up, and they walked out of their houses to check the situation.
Soon someone identified the source of the explosion, which came from the direction of the bridge in the village. When the villagers learned about it, they hurried to run towards the bridge.
If anything unexpected happens to the bridge, the lives of the villagers will be affected. No one wants to see this scene. When everyone arrived at the bridge, they found that the bridge deck was not destroyed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, a rapid sound came from under the bridge. In an instant, the villagers' hearts rose to their throats, "Go and catch that counter-revolutionary! Don't let him run away! He wants to blow up the bridge."
The person who said this was Liu Xuebao. He was a deputy squad leader of a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army in Liancheng and Rural People's Liberation Army. As soon as he spoke, the villagers noticed that there was still a person lying under the bridge. At that time, Liu Xuebao was lying on the ground with blood on his body, and he seemed to be suffering a lot of injuries.
Liu Xuebao
The villagers saw this and hurriedly sent Liu Xuebao for treatment, but Liu Xuebao politely rejected the villagers' kindness and asked them to catch the culprit who attempted to blow up the bridge first, "Don't worry about me for now, that guy ran to the other side of the road, you must catch him!"
At Liu Xuebao's reminder, the villagers then found that there was a person lying on the road not far away, and his injuries seemed to be heavier than Liu Xuebao.
Soon someone recognized this "culprit". He was Li Shibai, a forest ranger at the local forest farm. Li Shibai's face was covered with wounds of all sizes, and he was still bleeding from his body. He had been in a coma for a long time.
However, the villagers did not have any sympathy for him at this time, because in their eyes, such a person deserves death. After arresting Li Shibai, the villagers also sent him and Liu Xuebao to the hospital for treatment.
Before leaving, Liu Xuebao did not forget to remind the villagers to check whether there were any residual explosives around the bridge to prevent accidents from happening again.

When he heard these words, the villagers felt warm in their hearts. Liu Xuebao's image in their hearts also became taller in an instant. After the doctor's treatment, Liu Xuebao's injuries were controlled, but he lost his left hand forever.
After learning the news, the villagers couldn't help but feel that such a righteous young man was disabled.
However, after this incident, Liu Xuebao's reputation was completely "started" in the local area, and the people in all corners of the countryside all use the word hero to call him. In sharp contrast to Liu Xuebao, who was in the limelight, Li Shibai died on the hospital's operating table in the early morning of the next day due to serious head injuries.
However, no one feels sad or regretful about the passing of such a life, because everyone thinks that Li Shibai deserves it.

But is this really the case? There was no third person near the bridge that night except Liu Xuebao and Li Shibai. All people's cognition came from Liu Xuebao's narration.
And the reason why people are willing to accept Liu Xuebao's statement is because his identity is a glorious People's Liberation Army soldier, while Li Shibai is a person with a criminal record in the Kuomintang army.
After Li Shibai's death, the truth behind this incident was completely covered up, and Liu Xuebao naturally became a hero in the eyes of the people of the whole country.
Soon the news that Liu Xuebao "saves a bridge at the cost of one hand", and he immediately became a great hero in the eyes of local villagers, because he was able to preserve the bridge and protect the interests of the people.
For a time, Liu Xuebao was very popular. Because of his contribution to protecting state-owned assets, he was awarded the first-class merit of by the military leaders. Later, he became the target of the superiors' key training, and his position in the military also rose.
Investigation
On January 10, 1968, in order to commend Liu Xuebao's outstanding contributions, Lanzhou Military Region awarded Liu Xuebao the title of People's Hero and promoted him to the instructor.
From an unknown deputy squad leader to a highly anticipated hero of the people, Liu Xuebao has achieved achievements that many people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
But this is far from the end. A few months later, the People's Liberation Army Daily published an article on Liu Xuebao's heroic deeds.
The article at that time commented on Liu Xuebao: "He bravely fought against the counter-revolutionaries with infinite loyalty to Chairman Mao and the people, and with infinite hatred for the class enemies.
saved the bridge with his flesh and blood. He was a loyal proletarian revolutionary fighter. He wrote a majestic song of the Mao Zedong era with his own practical actions."
Then some other mainstream newspapers also published this article. Later, Liu Xuebao's story was even compiled into primary school textbooks, and he became the object of countless children's scrambling to learn.

Everything is a lie? "Fake Hero" directed and acted by
If this story ends here, then Liu Xuebao will still be the object of learning for people in the new era, but there is no story in today's primary school textbooks.
It turns out that Liu Xuebao's heroic deeds were simply forged. He just directed and acted as a "ugly drama". In fact, after the bridge bombing incident that year.
Some of Li Shibai's colleagues have questioned this matter because they don't believe that Li Shibai would do such a tragic thing.
But before they could make any move, Li Shibai died in the hospital, and the matter became unproof. Liu Xuebao described the cause and effect of the bridge bombing incident like this.
On the evening of December 17, 1967, he performed a warning mission near the forest farm where Li Shibai worked, but saw a figure quietly slipping out of the forest farm.

The figure looked around sneakily, holding a large bundle of things in his arms. When he saw the movement, he felt a little suspicious. So Liu Xuebao followed him quietly. After a while, the two of them arrived near the Datong River Bridge one by one.
When he saw the man taking out explosives from his arms, Liu Xuebao understood what was going on. He must not sit idly by and watch the counter-revolutionaries blow up the bridge.
He wanted to scold the man loudly, but he was afraid that the other party would immediately detonate the explosives, so he quietly touched the man and dragged him onto the road next to the bridge.
Then the two wrestled together. Liu Xuebao was defeated by his opponent and was pushed to the ground, and he was choked hard. In desperation, he picked up a stone and hit the man on the head, which gave him a moment of breathing time.
The opponent saw that Liu Xuebao could not be subdued, so he turned around and rushed to the place where the explosives were buried, trying to blow up the bridge first. Liu Xuebao endured the pain on his body and struggled to catch up.
New China was first established
But when he arrived, the other party had already lit the negative line. The situation was extremely critical at that time. In order to minimize the losses, Liu Xuebao picked up one of the explosives and ran away.
But the moment he threw the explosive bag out, the explosion occurred, and his left hand was seriously injured, and later the amputation was also performed. After
, Liu Xuebao collapsed and collapsed in place, and the counter-revolutionaries who were trying to escape also fell on the side of the road due to their serious injuries. Liu Xuebao was relieved.
After a while, the surrounding villagers rushed to the scene of the incident. Only then did they realize that it was Liu Xuebao who used his flesh and blood to preserve the bridge.
When the villagers caught the counter-revolutionary, they found out that he was Li Shibai, a staff member of the nearby forest farm. However, people only had great contempt and contempt for him at that time. We all knew what happened later. Liu Xuebao became an influence, while Li Shibai became an unforgivable sinner.

In fact, the police from Yongdeng County Public Security Bureau came to the scene to investigate, but they did not collect any available evidence.
, and Li Shibai's death was even more forcibly committed. This case came to an end, because even if there was evidence, there was no evidence of death.
But judging from the investigation results of Li Shibai, the police did not find any motive for him to blow up the bridge, and Li Shibai's family and colleagues also firmly did not believe this.
But the general public has already believed in Liu Xuebao's words, and coupled with the fact that he lost his left hand, his words are even more credible.
Although the end of this bridge bombing incident was that Liu Xuebao became a hero and Li Shibai became a criminal, fortunately, the police from Yongdeng County Public Security Bureau made an important decision. They chose to hang the case without definite evidence. More than ten years after the military parade
was the most glorious day in Liu Xuebao's life. He finally realized his dream of being a hero, and the poor Li Shibai and his family "paid" for his dream.
Although Li Shibai has given his life in the bridge bombing incident, he is still carrying an unreasonable infamous after his death, and his family is not spared.
Li Shibai's family not only has to endure the pain of his relatives' death, but also has to face the cold eyes and ridicule of others at all times. This undoubtedly brought great torment to their spirit, but no matter how others view them, Li Shibai's family never believes that he would do such a bad thing.
Although Li Shibai had served the Kuomintang army, he had made his choice again and began to serve the country and the people sincerely.
But except for his family and some colleagues in the forest farm, no one is willing to believe that he is innocent, or even if someone is willing to believe that Li Shibai is innocent, they cannot provide any evidence.
New China was first established
However, for Li Shibai's family, all they had to do was find out the truth and clear Li Shibai's innocence as soon as possible. In the blink of an eye, 1978 came.
Based on a certain investigation, Li Shibai's family and his colleagues jointly wrote a letter of justice to the relevant departments.
In this letter, they listed clues that Li Shibai might have suffered unjustly, and this matter soon attracted the attention of his superiors.
Then the police from Yongdeng County Public Security Bureau launched a secret investigation. With the relevant evidence, the relevant departments restarted the investigation and evidence collection work of the bridge bombing case that year. After the comprehensive investigation was launched, the police found more suspicions, and all of this can only be explained by Liu Xuebao.
At first, Liu Xuebao tried to confuse the public and wanted to excuse his crimes. But the more he argues, the more obvious the loopholes in some of his words are.
Finally, under the continuous high-pressure interrogation of the police, Liu Xuebao's psychological defense completely collapsed and he took the initiative to explain the truth about the bridge bombing case that year.
PLA
To become famous, he finally got a justice trial
So what is the truth behind the whole thing? What made Liu Xuebao become a "hero" step by step and admired by thousands of people? At the same time, Li Shibai became a sinner who was criticized by thousands of people and was scolded by countless people?
Under the dark lights of the interrogation room, Liu Xuebao confessed to all his criminal facts. Let us turn back to 1967 together. At that time, Liu Xuebao was just a deputy class leader.
Although he usually has several people under his command, he can't get any benefits. Over time, he has the idea of leaving the forest farm.
What Liu Xuebao thought of leaving was not to leave the army, but to appear in front of people in a heroic manner, and thus walk out of the forest farm openly.
After having such an "evil and dirty" idea, Liu Xuebao focused his attention on the bridge near the forest farm. He knew what that bridge meant to Lianchengxiang at that time.

As long as he can create an image of "save the bridge", he will definitely be able to gain the fame and fortune he has always dreamed of. Since Liu Xuebao plans to appear as a "savior".
Then he naturally needs someone to take the blame and let that person become the "stepping stone" on his road to fame. Unfortunately, Li Shibai eventually became the target of Liu Xuebao.
Because he has two traits that are not easy to arouse others' suspicion, one is a "low-level worker" and the other is a "former member of the Kuomintang army."
In that era, identity like Li Shibai was undoubtedly extremely sensitive, and Liu Xuebao took advantage of this with "ingenious intention".
After everything was planned, Liu Xuebao began his plan. Late at night on December 17, 1967, Liu Xuebao tricked Li Shibai into the vicinity of the bridge on the grounds of arresting the reactionaries.
split
Poor Li Shibai had no doubt at all and fell into Liu Xuebao's trap. When he arrived at the designated location, Liu Xuebao's face suddenly changed, he picked up a stone and called Li Shibai's head.
In an instant, Li Shibai's head was bleeding, but Liu Xuebao still had no intention of stopping. He slammed Li Shibai's head a few more times.
When he confirmed that Li Shibai had fainted, he threw Li Shibai on the road beside the bridge and began to carefully arrange the explosion site.
In order to make his lies more credible, Liu Xuebao deliberately put his left hand close to the detonated explosive, and thus abandoned his left hand.
A strong sense of pain came, and Liu Xuebao shivered in pain, but an extremely "bright" smile appeared on his face. After a while, the villagers of Chihamu Village arrived at the scene, and Liu Xuebao immediately started his "performance".
KMT
Finally, this "conspiracy" directed and acted by Liu Xuebao was a great success, and soon he became a great hero in the minds of the people of the whole country.
, diligent and diligent Li Shibai became a victim of Liu Xuebao's journey to success, and his family has been living in a painful state.
For the sake of his own selfish interests, Liu Xuebao did not hesitate to gain the happiness of a family. Such a person is so terrifying that it can be said that in order to achieve his own goals, Liu Xuebao has transformed into an absolute demon.
In fact, Li Shibai was able to be rescued as soon as the "bridge bombing case" occurred, but how could Liu Xuebao allow this scene to happen?
He knew that he had no chance to attack Li Shibai anymore, so he kept hinting to the villagers not to try his best to rescue Li Shibai.
Stills
So then a slightly sad scene appeared. Li Shibai suffered a severe head injury and failed to receive timely treatment, so he eventually died tragically on the rescue platform in the hospital.
Li Shibai lost his life in vain, and he had no chance to defend himself until his death, and even had to bear unreasonable infamous after his death. For more than ten years after
, Liu Xuebao enjoyed the satisfaction brought by the hero title, and at the same time enjoyed the treatment of heroes by the country, and all of this turned out to be a complete scam. Fortunately, justice has arrived late. On April 10, 1984, on the basis of fully grasping the facts of Liu Xuebao's crime, the Lanzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau arrested him and imprisoned.
The Lanzhou Intermediate People's Court publicly tried the case, and Liu Xuebao was sentenced to death in accordance with the law and deprived of political rights for life.
Liu Xuebao finally paid the price for his actions, and in the same year, the Lanzhou Municipal Government held a rehabilitation meeting for Li Shibai, helping him and his family restore their reputation.
Stills
If Li Shibai had a spirit in the sky, he would finally be able to rest in peace, and his family could finally lift his chest and be a human being.
In fact, there have been many false and wrong cases in history, part of which is because of the imperfect judicial system, while some are because of a "preconceived" concept.
is like Li Shibai who was wrongly accused of, because of the label of a "Kuomintang reactionary", and it turns out that this terrible prejudice can not only hurt people, but also kill people.
hope that at any time, we can look at things themselves with a rational attitude, put aside all prejudice, and avoid such tragedy from happening again.
