At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the storm and thunder exploded without warning.

Zhang Guotao, who cannot be ignored in the history of the Communist Party of China, defected to the Communist Party for a long time. In his memoirs in his later years, he wrote that getting rid of the CCP was "abandoning darkness and turning to light", but in fact, he was excluded for many years and had to go into exile in Canada. He was poor and destitute in his later years, and after his death, he could not even pay for the burial expenses.

Life and death friendship, leaving no room for anything

Zhang Guotao was the highest traitor. When he was a veteran of the Communist Party of China, the later leaders of the New China had no say.

Why is this leader who occupies an important page in the history of the Communist Party of China defecting?

Directly speaking, it is because personal ambitions cannot be met, and the Kuomintang reactionaries are also implementing the "melt" policy of luring the enemy against our party.

After the "Double Twelve" Incident in 1936, the Communist Party prepared for the Communist Party's offices in Xi'an and Nanjing and other places of entrenchment of the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang also went to Yan'an to hope that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would further cooperate. The spies "National Government" and " Zhongtong " described in the film and television dramas sneaked into Yan'an at this time and used all their strength to spy on the CCP's intelligence.

These spies first created a public opinion momentum, proclaiming that Zhang Guotao had lost power within the Communist Party of China and had long had no right to personal freedom. At this time, Zhang Guotao exposed his shaken heart and even told the spy that he hoped Chairman Jiang would send a plane to pick him up.

1938, Zhang Guotao waited for the opportunity. He and Zhou Enlai met Chiang Kai-shek on Wuchang , and blurted out on the first side: "Brothers are confused for many years." Zhou Enlai, who had always been gentle and elegant, was extremely angry and refuted. But Zhang Guotao took the initiative to report the details of the Yan'an government to Chiang Kai-shek.

The information sent to the door made Chiang Kai-shek unaware of what to do for a while. Just after this incident, Zhang Guotao made up his mind to escape.

The leaders of our party knew it well and tried every means to obstruct it without success. In the end, Zhang Guotao took the opportunity to worship the tomb of the Yellow Emperor and ran away completely.

He left no room for the life and death friendship that revolutionized together, just like his life.

"rejected" and was eventually abandoned

0 Zhang Guotao's defection initially only gave the Kuomintang a chance to hype public opinion, taking the opportunity to publicize the dissolution of the Communist Party of China and incite the Communists to "learn Zhang Guotao."

The next development should not have expected that Zhang Guotao would become a despicable spy.

Chiang Kai-shek believed that Zhang Guotao's rebellion gave Yan'an a fatal blow. In order to show his reward, he successively gave Zhang Guotao various important positions within the Kuomintang and instructed him to reuse it. After leaving the "hard days" of Yan'an cave, Zhang Guotao began to live in a small foreign house in Wuhan and enjoyed the protected life.

The Kuomintang has high hopes for Zhang Guotao, believing that with his status and relations between the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party can be completely destroyed. Regarding Zhang Guotao's requirements, he met various requirements, carefully arranged various anti-communist activities, and even set up special agent training classes.

It is said that this is unheard of in the history of Military Control Commission .

result was ineffective. The students were extremely disgusted with Zhang Guotao and did not welcome him to teach. Regarding the effectiveness of the training class, most of the students sent out have gone but never returned. What’s funny is that more people instead participated in the revolutionary camp of the Communist Party of China.

The so-called "coming back" and infiltration and inducing Communists to betrayal by Zhang Guotao did not have any practical effect or impact.

After a long time, Zhang Guotao tried every means to do "achievements" for the Kuomintang, but it always backfired. He gradually lost favor. Although he had no cars in Yan'an in the past, he could still hold meetings in front of the truck. After going to the Kuomintang, there was no special car anymore, so I could only squeeze into the city with a messy bus.

Traitor will never be trusted, and he is soon thrown into the Central Government because he is a useless decoration. No one paid attention to him in the Central Government. Many spies believed that he was a product of three no products and could not play any role. Zhang Guotao was often ridiculed openly and scolded secretly.

For 8 years, Zhang Guotao has been living a depressed life of "receiving money without merit".The War of Liberation was in full swing. In order to demonstrate his long-cherished wish of "anti-communist", he finally went to Shanghai to run a news weekly, and could only wave the flag and shout for the Kuomintang in this way.

1949, the War of Liberation was about to usher in the final victory. Mao Renfeng, the leader of the Military Control Commission at that time, had already planned secretly to deploy his spies: all traitors from the Communist Party must stay in the mainland and not bring any one to Taiwan. When Zhang Guotao received the news, he was unwilling to be abandoned, so he fled to Taiwan with his family.

Zhang Guotao, who was forgotten by the Kuomintang, died in Canada, and Zhang Guotao, who was completely forgotten by the Kuomintang in the corner. He relied on his seniority to call himself a member of the Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang, but no one bought it. Even the house he lived in was forcibly expropriated and could not move to Hong Kong again.

When Zhang Guotao was in Hong Kong, the Korean War broke out. Zhang Guotao wrote comments to the tabloid to make money while hyping up gold, and he wanted to live a wealthy life.

Unexpectedly, gold fell sharply after soaring due to the war. Zhang Guotao's wife was also accidentally injured and became a disabled person with limited mobility, and the family's savings were gone.

At the moment life cannot be as he wishes everywhere, Zhang Guotao developed the desire to return to China again.

The Chinese leader at that time agreed to his return, but he had to write a report to review historical errors and ensure reform. As a result, Zhang Guotao was more face-saving, and he refused to reflect on himself in a difficult situation.

In 1968, although Zhang Guotao earned a living money through his memoirs, he always failed to make ends meet. At this time, I learned that the Cultural Revolution was breaking out in China. The man who spent his whole life protecting himself fled to Canada to join his son.

Rumors say that his children are very promising and have become teachers, doctors, and engineers respectively. If you really have a good life, Zhang Guotao shouldn't have moved out of his son's house and moved into a free nursing home, because Canada stipulated at that time that government relief could be enjoyed by over 65 years old.

At that time, Zhang Guotao had a stroke and could not take care of himself. His wife was disabled and could not take care of him. Although it is a free charity, it is located in the suburbs of Toronto and has poor living conditions. Zhang Guotao can only sit in a wheelchair every day and has difficulty speaking and cannot hear clearly. It is easy to imagine how difficult life is.

He knew that he could not end well, so he had to ask someone to contact the current political leaders of the Kuomintang early on, and contact Jiang Jingguo . When Zhang Guotao saved Jiang Jingguo in Moscow , considering this old favor, Jiang Jingguo gave him a check of 10,000 US dollars to provide him with medical expenses.

The cold in Canada is unbearable. Zhang Guotao was reluctant to live in a nursing home several times when he was old. Perhaps it was a sign of darkness. He took off his blanket on the hospital bed, and he refused to respond to the call, and he was frozen to death due to poverty and illness.

Zhang Guotao, who had looked down on a group of leaders of the New China back then, could not have expected that his children could not even afford the burial expenses after his death, so his wife could only ask for help from Chiang Ching-kuo to bury him.

After defecting, Zhang Guotao was still alive and died. It was also his destined tragedy that he had this experience in his later years!
