Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Bai Snake and Xu Xian... These legendary love stories in history have been widely praised by later generations, and two people should be added during the War of Resistance Against Japan, that is, Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng.
The heroine is a well-known movie star, and the hero is the confidential secretary of Bai Chongxi and Chiang Kai-shek and the colonel officer.
The love story of an actress and a colonel warlord is quite legendary and romantic, and is an eternal masterpiece of the pursuit of revolution and love.
Later, when they made an appointment to meet at Guo Moruo's house in , they met Zhou Enlai. Afterwards, Dong Biwu warned Xie Hegeng: Don’t go to Guo’s hometown in the future. Why is this?
is destined or accidental?
Although Xie Hegeng was born in Guilin, he has a special relationship with Wuhu, Anhui. First of all, his first enlightenment teacher, his aunt was Wuhu people. His friends who had a deep relationship after participating in the revolution were also from Wuhu, and even the drama star Wang Ying, who was a movie at that time, was from Wuhu.
Xie Hegeng
Xie Hegeng himself is also a literary talent with a wide range of interests and likes poetry, novels and movies. Therefore, he also has a deep impression of Wang Ying in newspapers. He often sees Wang Ying's deeds and stories about her in newspapers. This glorious star didn't expect that she would be so kind in private.
In August 1937, Hong Shen came to Bai Chongxi's door. When he came to the communication room, he was slackened by the officer and dropped his business card on the ground without paying attention. At this moment, Xie Hegeng walked out and saw the stalemate between the two. He hurriedly asked Hong Shen what was wrong? Hong Shen was very angry by the Kuomintang officer and pointed to the business card underground and said, "It's on it."
Xie Hegeng picked up the business card and saw that it was Hong Shen, a professor at Fudan University, and quickly apologized and angrily scolded the officers around him for being too unreasonable. Seeing that he was so polite, Hong Shen was relieved. Then Xie Hegeng expressed his admiration for him to Hong Shen and expressed his willingness to serve him.
Hongshen
The two sat together to discuss Hongshen’s purpose. It turned out that after the July 7 Incident broke out, the Shanghai literary and art circle organized 13 national salvation drama teams to promote the anti-Japanese war. The second team where Hongshen was located decided to come to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi’s Fifth War Zone to promote, so they came to contact the frontline performance.
Then he also took out two letters of introduction from Feng Yuxiang and General Li Jishen.
Xie Hegeng's politeness and insights in the war of resistance made Hong Shen look at the young man with admiration. He Pan told his plan and handed over the member list to him.
Hong Shen also expressed his feelings when he looked at this patriotic and progressive young man, introducing that Wang Ying sold all the things in his family into cash for activity in order to fight against Japan, and said that he wanted to be a female guerrilla in the Anti-Japanese War and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
These words surprised Xie Hegeng and secretly admired her in her heart: "I must know her such a female hero!"
Bai Chongxi
The next day, Xie Hegeng passed this matter to Bai Chongxi and received permission, and welcomed their arrival, and asked Xie Hegeng to arrange their performance in detail.
Xie Hegeng went to the hotel where Team 2 stayed without stopping. After meeting last time, Hong Shen was deeply impressed by the young man. After returning, he praised the secretary to everyone and said that this was a flock of chickens among the Kuomintang people he had come into contact with in his life.
Everyone knows that Hong Shen rarely praises people, but now he praises a Kuomintang officer like this, you can imagine how outstanding this person is.
So, when they heard that Xie Hegeng was coming today, everyone was greeted by the door.
Xie Hegeng was surrounded by everyone and then greeted the actors present one by one. His words made people feel his sincerity, but when it was his turn to talk to Wang Ying, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
Wang Ying
This view made him forget all the words, but in the end he only said one sentence: "Hello Miss Wang! I have heard of Daming for a long time, and I am very honored to see you today!" Wang Ying was also cautious about her, but she just reached out to hold her gently, and said thank you indifferently.
Xie Hegeng has rich experience and speaks steadily. He is a patriotic and progressive young man. During the conversation, everyone gave thumbs up to the young man, but Wang Ying was very cold to him.
Xie Hegeng secretly wondered if he had said something wrong. After thinking about the military uniform he was wearing, he could only sigh secretly.
Although Wang Ying rarely communicates with him in person, she is observing him. She feels that this secretary of the association is handsome and clear-headed. He is a progressive young man, but he is completely different from the Kuomintang officer in her heart.
But his military uniform told her that if this person was a progressive young man, he would be a person who would do whatever he wanted.
Xie Hegeng
Xie Hegeng will come to the hotel to talk to them whenever Xie Hegeng has free time. Wang Ying will always sit aside and listen. When she knows that Xie Hegeng is a college student, she wants to abandon literature and martial arts to participate in the anti-Japanese war, this makes Wang Ying more interested in this person.
Xie Hegeng expressed his position, just to not sit idly by and let the Japanese invade China, and also made Wang Ying immediately respect him.
Later, when she learned that Xie Hegeng was from a scholarly family and her second brother was also an early Communist Party member, she suddenly felt more fond of Xie Hegeng. Wang Ying's public identity is a movie star, but she is actually an underground party member. She knows that everything she has now is given by the Communist Party, so she also has to do her part.
At that time, the superior organization instructed them that "Communist Party members should actually become the initiators, propagandists and organizers of national salvation movements and national salvation organizations in various places." Wang Ying decided to immediately bring in this Kuomintang officer with anti-Japanese thoughts.
Wang Ying and Xie Hegeng
In the promotion process, Xie Hegeng has been following around the second team, while understanding the performance situation and needs, but frequent contact has also deepened the relationship between the two people day by day.
In the book of Ten Thousand Words, Wang Ying was surprised to find that this person's anti-Japanese thinking and strategy were exactly the same as the party's ideas and strategies, and he had a righteous spirit of worrying about the country and the people. Wang Ying's original heart for Xie Hegeng gradually loosened. In this way, the two hot hearts gradually leaned against each other.
Mr. Guo met Zhou Enlai at a party
In the second half of 1937, Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying met, met and fell in love on the front line of the battlefield. At that time, the smart Xie Hegeng also thought that Wang Ying might also be a young man in the party.
Although he is enthusiastic, straightforward and patriotic, he is different from most of the Kuomintang officers, in order to get him to take the team again, Wang Ying and the captain of the second team, Hong Shen, also created opportunities for him many times to let him contact more people in the cultural circle who supported the Communist Party of China at that time, Guo Moruo and others.
Guo Moruo
In October 1938, on the eve of the fall of Wuhan, Wang Ying and Yu Liqun invited him to have a party at Guo’s hometown. In the large living room of the Guo family, he met some famous people in the cultural circles such as Hu Yuzhi , Tian Han , and Hong Shen. He also sat aside to watch them dance, drink and write poems.
When they knew that Xie Hegeng also liked to write and write poems, he stood up openly and wrote on the rice paper, "Wealth cannot be lustful, poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be defeated, and truth cannot be separated." Finally, he gave these words to Yu Liqun.
Just as everyone applauded, Zhou Enlai walked into the hall with a smile, looked at his words, and shook hands with everyone present one by one, but when he walked to Xie Hegeng, he lowered his face and pretended not to know each other and walked away. At that time, he felt very embarrassed, and Wang Ying was also a little confused about Zhou Enlai's attitude.
Dong Biwu
Dong Biwu
However, just the next morning, Xie Hegeng received a notice from Dong Biwu, asking him to see him immediately, and criticized him as soon as he met, and warned him: "Don't go to Guo's hometown in the future. Comrade Enlai wants me to tell you that if you find out that you go to Guo's hometown in the future, you must consider your party membership!"
This warning made Xie Hegeng panic. He swears to promise not to go to Guo's hometown again. Seeing that he is sincere, Dong Biwu then told him earnestly:
"You know how Comrade Enlai has always been in trouble. I love you. You are working with Zhuge at . He has reminded you to be very cautious and think twice before you act. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy, and the organization is satisfied with your past work. But you must not be careless and expose your identity. People who go to Guo’s hometown are very complicated!”
Zhou Enlai
In fact, in 1930, Xie Hegeng joined the Communist Party. After the defeat of the Chahar War, the party sent Xie Hegeng to Guangxi and use his social relations in Guangxi to engage in the upper underground united front work of the Guangxi clan. Because the work is too secret, the party organization also clearly stipulated that he could only contact the old Communist Party member Xuan Xiafu and be directly led by Zhou Enlai and Li Kenong.
At that time, Li Kenong was not only a single-line contact person for Xie Hegeng, a secret member of the Communist Party of China, but also a direct leader of Wang Ying and Jinshan, an underground party member in the literary and art circle. However, later, because of Li Kenong's mistake, Wang Ying completely saw through Xie Hegeng's true face.
Although both of them are underground party members, since Xie Hegeng's true identity is directly controlled by Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu and Ye Jianying, even his relationship with Li Kenong is never allowed to be exposed to a third party. But Li Kenong, who is secretly secret, also makes mistakes.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi
In the spring of 1939, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi asked Jinshan and Wang Ying's second anti-Japanese drama team to go to Nanyang to promote the performance, and at the same time raised relief from overseas Chinese to support the domestic war of resistance. Li Kenong was responsible for the implementation. Afterwards, Li Kenong instructed him to get a performance with Jinshan and Wang Ying to hand over to him. After the
plan was approved, Xie Hegeng was preparing to find Wang Ying to discuss his plan to go abroad. However, on a road in Guilin City, Li Kenong, Jinshan and Wang Ying were just seen walking towards him.
Xie Hegeng was worried about being exposed and was about to avoid it, but unexpectedly, when Li Kenong saw his friend whom he had not seen for a long time, he forgot about his discipline for a moment, greeted him in front of Wang Ying, and asked him to give him the approval of the plan. In this way, the identities of Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying were exposed, and they realized each other's identities.
Although both of them are very reliable underground party members, Li Kenong also reported to Zhou Enlai and inspected him after realizing his mistake. Zhou Enlai criticized him seriously, warning him that if something went wrong, he would be responsible.
Li Kenong
This matter also made Li Kenong remained uneasy and felt guilty about it until after liberation. If something happened to Xie Hegeng, he really couldn't explain it to the party and Zhou Enlai.
Something happened to Xie Hegeng is not just his own problem. It is a serious matter and may be related to the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. So what kind of work does Xie Hegeng hold among underground party members? How did he go deep into the tiger's den?
goes deep into the tiger's den, gains a foothold, and has a good cultural literacy since childhood. Under the influence of his second brother, he accepted the theory of Marxism-Leninism and actively participated in revolutionary activities. After the failure of the Great Revolution, Xie Hegeng embarked on the revolutionary path and joined the Communist Party.
In the autumn of 1934, he brought Feng Yuxiang's letter of introduction to the Nanjing Guangxi headquarters and met Bai Chongxi for the first time.
Xie Hegeng
Bai Chongxi saw that Xie Hegeng graduated from a college in economics at the Chinese University and was already a member of General Feng Yuxiang's anti-Japanese army at the age of 30. Bai Chongxi was so proud of him.After talking to
, Bai Chongxi kept Xie Hegeng and prepared to discuss with Li Zongren before arranging specific work for him. After a while, Xie Hegeng delivered his two papers to Bai Chongxi. He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold, he must have something in his stomach.
After reading it, Bai Chongxi praised Xie Hegeng's article repeatedly, saying that such talents were unsuccessful in the environment at that time. In the article, Xie Hegeng cleverly used the three-self policy of the Guangxi clan, and therefore was praised by Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren.
Of course, in addition to his performance at work, Xie Hegeng is also good at performing actively in life and gaining Bai Chongxi's trust. Bai Chongxi likes reading very much. According to Bai Chongxi's preferences, Xie Hegeng chose three or five books every week to put them on his bedside.
When Bai Chongxi's father-in-law was seriously ill, Xie Hegeng immediately found a famous doctor to fly to Guilin to take up his father-in-law. Bai Chongxi was very grateful for this and forced him to give him 200 yuan. Later, Xie Hegeng also only had 50 yuan. Through these things, Bai Chongxi's favor for Xie Hegeng increased again, and gradually gained Bai Chongxi's trust and was valued.
Bai Chongxi
After gaining a foothold in the Guangxi regime, Xie Hegeng took every step and became Bai Chongxi's confidential secretary. Later, with the recommendation of Bai Chongxi, Chiang Kai-shek appointed him as the sole secretary of the National Defense Conference of the base camp.
In October, as the situation in Anti-Japanese War became increasingly tense, Xie Hegeng summarized the experience since the War of Resistance Against Japan at that time, and wrote a proposal of more than 12,000 words based on the situation of the enemy and us at that time. While passing the book to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mao Zedong, he also handed it to Bai Chongxi.
After reading it, Bai Chongxi praised the article very much and adopted some of the opinions, summarizing it as "storing small victories into big victories, exchanges time for space ", which later became a famous anti-Japanese quote in the army. After learning about this, Li Zongren also praised: "He Geng is good!" Xie He Geng was also naturally promoted to colonel.
At that time, he also received a "special pass" to enter and exit the residences of two superiors, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, which is also a privilege that few people can enjoy.
The Three Masters of the Guangxi: Huang Shaohong, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi
For this reason, Bai Chongxi also betrothed his cousin to him. Xie Hegeng considered his identity and work needs, so he could only be forced to agree to this matter. However, later, the two also wrote divorce agreement , and Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying became revolutionary partners.
Xie Hegeng is good at sharing his worries and relieving his worries for Bai Chongxi, especially in military and political affairs. He can point out the problem to the point and put forward correct suggestions, which also makes Bai Chongxi trust him more.
When Chiang Kai-shek summoned Bai Chongxi to Nanjing to discuss the anti-Japanese plan, the generals of the Guangxi clique did not agree with him, but Xie Hegeng suggested that he persist in the war of resistance, so that he could expand his power and increase his prestige.
He hesitated about this, and later Xie Hegeng wrote a letter solemnly. Unexpectedly, the letter hit Bai Chongxi's thoughts, and the content was reasonable and well-founded, so he decided to fight for the joint anti-Japanese war.
Facts have proved that this letter also directly promoted the Guangxi clique's joint anti-Japanese war. Therefore, the role played by Xie Hegeng is extremely important, and it is related to the national united front.
Bai Chongxi
Later, when he followed Bai Chongxi to Nanjing, Bai Chongxi wanted to give a speech, so Xie Hegeng wrote a proposal of more than 10,000 words. After writing it, Xie Hegeng thought that his articles were complicated and complicated, and there were too many words.
Xie Hegeng knew that this was another unusual exam, and even he himself was puzzled by this article. So he decided to hand over the manuscript to Li Kenong and ask Zhou Enlai to help revise it. Only a day later, Xie Hegeng received the revised manuscript. When he opened it, he saw that Premier Zhou had deleted more than 2,000 words of article with a red pen.
Xie Hegeng was immediately happy. After Zhou Enlai's modification, the article was indeed much clearer. After modifying the original manuscript, Xie Hegeng immediately submitted the manuscript to Bai Chongxi.That morning, the three people who wrote the manuscript took a bus to the speech venue. It was not until Bai Chongxi read the manuscript Xie Hegeng realized that he was reading his manuscript.
Who would have thought that the draft of a senior Kuomintang general was actually drafted by a Communist Party member and revised by Zhou Enlai?
Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying
Xie Hegeng's life was full of legends, and he was only one of the thousands of underground party members. In that era, our party sacrificed his life and risked his life to enter the thrilling underground struggle, conveyed a lot of important intelligence to the Party Central Committee, and made great contributions to the Chinese revolution.
In a long-term, complex and cruel environment, they completed the task with both wisdom and courage, but there are also some heroes who died in the struggle. With their passion, they completed the trust of the Party and the people. They are our most outstanding "unsung heroes"!
