On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its surrender.

The whole land of China is jubilant, and everyone is running around to tell each other.

At this time, the "Three Talented Women in Shanghai" who are as famous as Zhang Ailing and Ding Ling - Guanlu cried with joy.

Because this means that she can finally wash away the stigma of "traitor" that has been burdened with for six years.

However, just when he thought everything would start over, he found that his article could not be published.

even she has become the subject of strict censorship.

This is not the worst.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was a letter of breaking up with his lover Wang Bingnan.

Wang Bingnan is a senior cadre of our party.

At that time, he was participating in the Chongqing negotiations as Chairman Mao’s secretary . The letter said that considering that Guan Lu is a recognized "traitor", in order not to affect the reputation of the organization, she had to cut off relations with her.

Guanlu

Years of misunderstanding have made Guanlu mentally anxious.

Now that my lover's departure has broken her last nerve.

At that time, Guan Lu sometimes lowered her head and cried, sometimes smiled at the sky, and sometimes was as dumbfounded as a wooden chicken.

And this is as sad as her legendary life.

Until the last moment of his life, what Guan Lu wants is just a proof that she is not a traitor...

The miserable old age, the truth came to light

March 23, 1982, this day was a very important day for Guan Lu.

She was lying on the hospital bed with a blood-faced face, and calmly listened to the rehabilitation decision read out by the staff of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee to her.

It was just at that time that Guan Lu had already gray hair and had a thin body.

The wrinkles on her face seemed to tell everyone the torture of her time.

In this "decision", the relevant personnel found out the truth and revoked the "name of traitor" imposed on Guan's out.

Reasonablely, Guan Lu should be happy and grateful after getting innocent.

But at that time, she did not respond at all, and there was no sadness or joy on her face.

After a long time, Guan Lu silently turned her head out the window.

Looking at a new green plant, she couldn't help but say to herself:

"It's another year of spring, the plant has new life, but there are no more young people..."

This can't help but make people think about it. Is the 43 years of justice worthy of her applause?

In fact, when Guan Lu was released from prison eight years ago, she felt as if she was dead and was like a dead tree.

For this reason, she also made a will:

"I have no children. If my heart stops beating, all property materials belong to the three nieces."

Guan Lu's friends were deeply worried about it after learning about this.

Because from all her actions, she does not have much nostalgia for the world.

After being released from prison, the organization paid Guan Lu a salary of more than 10,000 yuan.

She took the money and immediately gave her niece Li Kang 2,000 yuan, and asked someone to buy a second-hand piano for Li Kang's daughter .

Then, Guan Lu gave 1,000 yuan to Liu Dao, the benefactor who once sponsored her studies.

Finally, she used the remaining money to buy a bungalow with a small courtyard.

The conditions in the house are very simple, and there are only a few pieces of furniture that can be used.

But Guan Lu didn't care about this and devoted herself to writing all day long.

Following friends gradually felt relieved when they saw that she was at least comforted by the creative world.

But unexpectedly, Guan Lu's condition took a sharp turn for the worse after the "May Day" stroke in 1980.

and this refers not only to its physical level, but also to its mental aspects.

Guanlu

In fact, she did not suffer from stroke hemiplegia .

But he often feels pain all over the body and suffers so much that he can't fall asleep all night.

Hearing that she had such symptoms, Xiao Yang, a friend of Writers Association (full name: Chinese Writers Association ), immediately took her to Union Hospital for treatment.

What is puzzling is that even if she had a whole body examination from beginning to end and from outside to inside, she could not find out the cause of her.

Until later, a doctor suddenly thought that Guan Lu's pain was probably not physiological;

was psychological, which is what the saying goes.

Indeed, anyone who suffers decades of grievances and ten years of imprisonment will leave psychological trauma;

Moreover, Guan Lu already suffers from schizophrenia .

What hit her even more was her gradually deteriorating memory and her hands that could not hold a pen and write.

You should know that at that time, writing was the only pleasure of her life.

Guan Lu was once in prison and was looking forward to completing many works after she was released from prison.

But now, it all has become a bubble.

After nothing to do, Guan Lu began to daydream in the room all day.

Sometimes you sit for a day and don’t even eat.

Guanlu

A sworn sister Chen Huizhi was worried about her mental state, so she simply moved in to take care of her.

She helps Guan Lu get his salary, pay party dues, keep accounts, improve food, and urges her to get more activities from time to time.

With the company of friends, Guan Lu's life seems to be much more organized.

But everyone knows it well that her heart is not sent to her at all.

It is alive to wait for a hope.

Until September 15, 1982 , Guan Lu's few times finally ushered in light.

His friend Ding Ling walked into Guan Lu's home with hope.

At that time, she was wiping her newly washed hair.

When she first saw Ding Ling, she was stunned for a moment before choking out:

"Ding Ling! Are you sister Ding Ling?"

After many years, Ding Ling did not busy reminiscing about the past with others, but said her purpose.

She told Guan Lu a big happy event:

"Han Nian is about to be rehabilitated!"

Hearing this, Guan Lu opened her eyes wide, the towel slid from her hands, and tears rushed out of her brush.

She thought of death several times since she had a stroke.

But whenever she thinks that Pan Hannian has not yet been rehabilitated, she convinces herself that she must survive and wait for him until the day the truth is revealed.

Now, Guan Lu finally waited!

She cried and laughed again.

Pan Hannian

The whole room was filled with her laughter, as if she was happy and as if she was mocking.

All those who hear it are sad.

Anyone who knows her story understands that the turning point of Guan Lu's life started when she received Pan Hannian's mission in 1939.

went deep into the devil's cave and endured humiliation and took on the heavy burden

1939, the South China Intelligence Bureau was established in Shanghai.

The direct leader is Pan Hannian.

At that time, Pan Hannian had a major task in his hands - to instigate the founder of the No. 76 Agent Organization Li Shiqun . The secret service agency of

76 is located at No. 76, Jisifeier Road, Shanghai (now ,000 Hangdu Road, ), and is a Japanese intelligence agency.

But ironically, its founder Li Shiqun is Chinese.

At that time, although the organization was only established for several months, its hands were covered with the blood of countless patriots.

people call it "killer cave".

In this way, why did Pan Hannian instigate a traitor whom thousands of people point to?

This requires mentioning Li Shiqun’s past experience.

Li Shiqun

In fact, this person was also a member of the Communist Party of China and has been engaged in underground work.

However, later, he was arrested by the Kuomintang for his unstable will and rebeled and joined the Kuomintang spy operation.

Fortunately, people are used to being two-faced and always think about finding a way out for themselves.

So most of the top secrets he knew about our party, Li Shiqun still hid it in his heart and did not tell the Kuomintang.

However, because of this personality, after the fall of Nanjing, he saw the opportunity to "have great potential".

Without a trace of hesitation or struggle, Li Shiqun turned around and threw himself into Japan's arms.

The first thing he did for the Japanese invaders was to form the No. 76 Agent Organization to specifically crack down on the Military Control Commission of the Kuomintang in Shanghai.

At this time, the Kuomintang had hated him to the core.

After all, the Japanese will not really treat him as their own person.

To sum up, Li Shiqun, who has left his hands on everything, wants to take the CCP as his way out.

At that time, he took the initiative to keep in touch with the CCP.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the word "connection" is used very subtlely.

This means that Li Shiqun neither does not have a clear meaning of cooperation, but it also allows people to see the possibility of cooperation.

Why didn’t Pan Hannian know this person’s versatile style?

But thinking about Japan's emphasis on 6 , as long as there is a possibility of instigating Li Shiqun, you have to try it.

Li Shiqun

So, he sent party member Hu Xiufeng as the contact person between the two according to Li Shiqun's request.

and Hu Xiufeng is Guan Lu's sister and a classmate of Li Shiqun's wife Ye Jiqing.

The most important thing is that she took care of Li Shiqun and his wife when they were imprisoned.

Naturally, Li Shiqun trusts her more.

Unfortunately, Hu Xiufeng had another job in Yichang at this time.

After several weighings, she could only explain the situation to Pan Hannian.

During this period, he accidentally mentioned that his sister Guan Lu also knew Li Shiqun.

is exactly this sentence, and it has become something that Hu Xiufeng regrets for the rest of his life.

Until she was old, she often kept this apology on her lips:

"If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't have walked into No. 76, and there wouldn't be any grievances in the future..."

But this is all about the later story.

Zhang Ailing

At that time, Guan Lu was in the eyes of others. was a female writer who was as famous as Ding Ling and Zhang Ailing in Shanghai, and a progressive patriotic poet.

She is tall, fashionable in dress, elegant and friendly in manners, and does not look like a powerful revolutionary female fighter at all.

Because of this, few people know that She joined the Communist Party of China as early as 1931 when she came to Shanghai.

And these superficial skills have become her excellent protective color as an underground party.

But even so, when Guan Lu was personally driven into the door by Wu Sibao, the captain of the No. 76 investigation team, a hint of nervousness flashed through his heart.

At that time, Guan Lu took the opportunity to look at the tall wall inside and the fully armed sentry.

What Pan Hannian told her to her was repeated in her mind:

"Be careful, you can only use your ears and eyes there, not your mouth."

She took a deep breath and opened the car door.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Li Shiqun coming up to greet him warmly.

"How can Miss Guan have time to come?"

Although both sides knew it well, Guan Lu still smiled slightly and cooperated embarrassedly and said:

"I have been unemployed for a long time, and I think of you taking a job here."

Hearing, Li Shiqun did not respond, but just took her to visit with great sincerity.

Immediately afterwards, he deliberately asked Guan Lu to meet several people who were beaten and bruised in the interrogation room.

Then, he showed an evil smile and asked sarcastically:

"Look, is there anything suitable for you, a great writer, here?"

At first, Guan Lu was very puzzled when he heard this.

76 Demon Cave

Li Shiqun obviously wants to use her as the hub for contacting the CCP.

But what is the purpose of this move?

But she soon understood.

When he saw Ye Jiqing, he was particularly enthusiastic about the other party and complained several times that she refused to come and play before.

She also said that Guan Lu's identity is not suitable for working on the 76th. If she is short of money, she can come to her often.

In this way, Li Shiqun found a more "righteous and self-protection" reason for himself.

Guan Lu had to go with the flow.

After that, she would visit Ye Jiqing once or twice every month on the 76th.

At that time, the two of them would go shopping, watch operas, and go to various public occasions together.

After a while, Guan Lu obtained some military and political updates of the enemy and puppet from Li Shiqun.

But at the same time, doubts from the outside world have also come one after another.

She, a patriotic poet, often has close contact with the spy leader's wife, making it difficult not to doubt her position.

However, Guan Lu was mentally prepared for this.

Before accepting the task, Pan Hannian repeatedly emphasized to her:

"In the future, someone will say that you are a traitor, but you don't defend it. It's bad to defend it."

At this point, she kept the warning in mind, regardless of the rumors, she was determined to complete the special tasks assigned by the organization.

But Li Shiqun is very cunning.

He has been revealing some information to Guan Lu intentionally or unintentionally, but he has always kept ambiguously distanced from the CCP.

Guan Lu understands that only the interests can make the fence-bearer stand firm.

So, she has been waiting patiently for the opportunity to come.

Finally one day in September 1941, Li Shiqun took the initiative to "talk about it" with Guan Lu.

At this time, the Japanese army was trapped in the quagmire of war in China.

His colleague Zhou Fohai wants to transfer to the Kuomintang.

But Li Shiqun has long broken with the Kuomintang.

If this happens, he doesn’t know what to do?

Guan Lu heard what he meant was that he was willing to cooperate with the CCP and leave a way out for himself.

So she wrote a report that night and sent it to Pan Hannian secretly.

After seeing this, Pan Hannian believed that Li Shiqun was sincerely working together.

Soon, under Guan Lu's arrangement, he met Li Shiqun.

Guanlu handwriting

To show sincerity, Li Shiqun also told Pan Hannian about the upcoming "sweeping-up" of the New Fourth Army headquarters.

Then, he also transported a batch of medicines to the Liberated Area of ​​Northern Jiangsu.

Guan Lu successfully retreated and withdrew from the No. 76 intelligence work.

Originally, she thought that the stone in her heart could finally be removed.

Unexpectedly, a more arduous task that affects her life is waiting for her...

was wronged for half a lifetime, without any complaints

hang out on No. 76 for two years, Guan Lu's work has achieved great results, which has greatly helped the organization carry out the struggle against Japan and puppet.

In view of her outstanding performance, the organization decided to send her a more challenging new task:

to work in "Female Voice" to obtain Japanese intelligence.

This publication is a Chinese publication jointly organized by Japanese Consulate and Marine Corps Reporting Department.

President Shunko Sato is a female writer with free and democratic ideas.

She has some friends from the Japanese left.

In other words, Guan Lu’s purpose is to find members of the Japanese Communist Party through these people and obtain intelligence materials.

coincided with the time when "Female Voice" was recruiting Chinese editors.

Relying on his own literary talent, Guan Lu successfully joined the editorial of novels, drama reviews and miscellaneous talks.

Guanlu

During that time, while collecting intelligence, she also took advantage of her position to vaguely publicize ideas that are beneficial to the people.

She used columns such as "Film and Drama Reviews" and "Reader Mailbox" to select manuscripts from many young Communists.

Not only that, she once published many progressive women's literature in "Female Voice" under the pseudonym Fangjun, Lin Yin, Meng Yin and others.

However, the progressive ideological articles she published also aroused suspicion from the Japanese side.

But fortunately, President Shunko Sato helped her "pass" several times because she admired and trusted Guan Lu.

However, Guan Lu was also accused of being a writer who "sells the country and seeks honor" because of his work in the Japanese.

It is impossible to say that it is not scared.

But in the face of misunderstandings and criticisms from the masses, what can she say?

In fact, Guan Lu has always longed for the work of the Anti-Japanese War.

She has requested the organization many times to let her go to the Yan'an base.

However, after comprehensive consideration by the organization, it was decided to leave Guan Lu in Shanghai.

She naturally understood the profound meaning of this, and she also unconditionally trusted and obeyed the arrangements.

However, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger as he grew with the increasing accusations.

In the end, the worst thing happened.

1943, Japan will hold the "Greater East Asian Literature Congress" in its local area.

Guanlu

At that time, Sato Toshiko sent Guanlu to represent "Female Voice".

In fact, from a big perspective, the trip to Japan is indeed an opportunity to collect a lot of useful information.

However, from the present moment, it was openly reached to the hostile country during the War of Resistance.

This move will inevitably make Guan Lu’s reputation as a “traitor” on his back.

Therefore, before she set out, more than a dozen representatives to Japan, including herself and Zhang Ailing, were all discussed in the newspaper.

Seeing all kinds of unappreciable words, Guan Lu couldn't help but burst into tears and felt relieved.

At this time, Pan Hannian asked her to pass a letter to Professor Akita from Japan.

In this regard, he also specifically emphasized that this matter is very important.

Because Pan Hannian urgently needs Professor Akita to help restore the ties between the Japanese Communist Party leaders in China and their own leaders.

In this way, Guan Lu endured humiliation and embarked on the journey to Japan for the cause of the Communist Party of China.

At the Japan Conference, Guan Lu gave a speech on "Cultural Exchange of Sino-Japanese Women".

Originally, the title given to Guan Lu by Japan was "Greater East Asia Prosperity".

Only after Guan Lu's firm negotiations did he change his original intention.

Guanlu

Although she avoided the behavior of praising Japanese militarism.

But after returning to China, he still became a "traitor" referred to by thousands of people.

My former friend even spitted on the ground when she mentioned her.

Some domestic newspapers also criticized her and Zhang Ailing and others.

At this point, Guan Lu's life fell into endless loneliness and loneliness.

Until 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.

level reveals the tasks assigned by the organization well.

Then, in order to avoid the arrest of the Kuomintang’s “resistance of traitors”, she was secretly arranged by the organization to go to the Huaiyin New Fourth Army base.

At that time, Guan Lu thought that she would no longer have to live in fear.

She can finally take off her hat as a "traitor" and fight with her comrades openly.

However, things were not as simple as she thought.

Guanlu

As we all know, underground party work has always been secret, and many are single-line contacts.

Most colleagues in the same region only know each other's code names and will not know their work content at all.

let alone cross-regional understanding.

Therefore, after arriving in Huaiyin , Guan Lu's life was not easy.

Except for the people who don’t know the truth, seeing her is like seeing a rat crossing the street, calling her a “traitor”.

even found out about Guan Lu's residence and painted on the walls and doors near her home.

What’s even more helpless is that within a few days, she was censored and sent to the School of Education.

At this time, New Fourth Army is carrying out cadre review work.

Since the leaders here failed to contact the Shanghai organization in time, Guan Lu's identity has never been confirmed.

Under heavy blows, Guan Lu wrote a poem to express her pursuit of the party.

However, in the end, because of her bad reputation, the newspaper asked her to change her signature.

Just like that, Guan Lu's enthusiasm was extinguished by the cold water of reality.

The grievances that had been buried in her heart for many years made her seriously ill.

Then what is said at the beginning of the article.

Wang Bingnan

To make matters worse, Guan Lu received a letter of breaking up with her lover Wang Bingnan at the most helpless moment.

They originally agreed to get married after the Japanese invaders surrendered.

Wang Bingnan really planned so.

But when he was about to board the plane to Huaiyin, he was stopped by his leader.

"No one knows Guan Lu's true identity. In the eyes of the people, she is a 'traitor'. If you combine with Guan Lu at this time, it will be very unfavorable to the cause of the party." The earnest remarks of the leader made Wang Bingnan, who originally believed in Guan Lu, shaken.

Maybe he has become distrusted of his lover.

is just the same for global considerations, and he has to do so.

So, there was such a letter to break off the relationship.

At this point, Guan Lu lost her reputation, lost her lover, and her spirit completely collapsed.

Fortunately, not long after, the relevant leaders proved her identity and arranged for her to be hospitalized.

But although the wound can be healed, it cannot be healed.

Although she does not hate the misunderstandings of her by the masses;

also knows that this is a sacrifice that intelligence workers should have.

, Guan Lu's condition has always been very depressed, and she couldn't help crying.

Wang Bingnan

When she was in better condition, she served as professor, translator and editor.

Until the liberation of Peking, Guan Lu was transferred to North China University to teach.

During this period, she has created many touching poems.

Later, she met Wang Bingnan once.

Times have changed, and her former lover advised her to forget the past and live a new life.

Although Guan Lu couldn't let him go, she knew that Wang Bingnan was right.

I never thought that it was this "new life" that extinguished her hope for life.

1955, Pan Hannian was arrested for the crime of "traitor".

, and this all stems from the fact that he did not report to the organization that he had been lured to meet with Wang Jingwei by Li Shiqun.

Naturally, Guan Lu, as the matchmaker of the two, was also implicated.

She was arrested and imprisoned twice for 10 years.

What is even more uncomfortable is that this also means that the stigma of "traitor" has been once again seized on Guan Ri.

Pan Hannian

Pan Hannian once said:

"Most of those who do intelligence work have no good ending, and Chinese and foreign colleagues are the same."

As expected, they all agreed with this sentence.

The rest of his life was tossing and chaotic, and he was disgraced.

But when they think back, they have no regrets in their hearts.

As the saying goes, a person's death is either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.

At least all intelligence workers are for the sake of the future of thousands of compatriots of the nation.

Even if they are trapped in darkness, they must let others be in light.

982, the organization restored its reputation for Guan Lu.

Pan Hannian was also rehabilitated a few months later.

But unfortunately, he died five years ago.

, and Guan Lu lives to die for himself not to bear stigma;

is also to make an innocence for Pan Hannian and others.

At this point, Guan Lu feels that there is no motivation to live in life.

After she spent several months writing her memoirs and articles commemorating Pan Hannian, she committed suicide by taking sleeping pills on on December 5, 1982.

Conclusion

There is an old photo of Wang Bingnan among Guan Lu's relics.

The photo is written by Wang Bingnan:

You care about me for a while, I care about you for a lifetime.

Below is Guan Lu's title after receiving her lover's letter of breaking up with her:

Who is the dream close to? The lover of all ages is my only fool.

Guan Lu fulfilled the sacred duties of a Communist Party member, but missed the love that could be with her for the rest of her life.

is just weird, born at the wrong time.

She is a respectable national warrior and a sad wandering person in troubled times.
