In 1948, the wife of a National Army colonel was raped by six people in the hospital. She was in great pain and cried everywhere, begging the hospital leaders to arrest the six people and bring them to justice.
The hospital leaders resisted and even told her directly, "You already have two children and you are not a virgin, so why should you be so serious?"
The absurd remarks of the hospital leader deeply hurt the heart of the victimized woman. She was unwilling to let the gangsters continue to roam free, so she bravely exposed the incident and begged the world to seek justice for her.
So, what happened to the six perpetrators? Why did the hospital leaders have the audacity to protect them even though they knew they had done bad things? This tragedy seemed to be an accident, but in fact it was the inevitable result of the decay of the national army.
1. Born in a well-known family, but her family was in trouble and was bullied
The wife of a colonel in the national army who was bullied was named Chen Yu. She was born in a well-known family and was the daughter of a wealthy family. Her father was a major general and division commander in the national army and had great power. Her husband, Lou Jiangliang, was also an outstanding person. He became the colonel of the Central Army of the National Army at a young age.
In that turbulent era, most people were struggling with difficulties and often had one meal but no next meal. Chen Yu has been living a good life because of the protection of his family. In current terms, Chen Yu is like a flower in a greenhouse.
When he was young, Chen Yu was very cheerful and often participated in social activities. With her versatile talents, she can easily attract the attention of others and become the focus of social gatherings.
However, Chen Yu did not have any feelings for outsiders. After marrying her husband, she always abided by her duty and gave birth to two sons for her husband one after another. Her husband is also very kind to her, and everyone around her is very envious of their marriage.
However, Chen Yu's happy life did not last forever. Because of the continuous outbreak of war, her father was forced to go to the front line and finally died on the battlefield.
After this, Chen Yu's family declined rapidly, and the family's money continued to decrease, so they could only live frugally. Chen Yu had no way to change all this. He lost the smile he once had and became more and more taciturn. What Chen Yu didn't know was that the ordeal waiting for him had just begun.
After her father passed away unfortunately, her husband Lou Jiangliang also suffered from tuberculosis . The disease was so serious at the time that it was difficult to treat even in the best hospitals.
Lou Jiangliang knew that after his father-in-law passed away, his wife's situation had been very difficult. If he passed away, his wife would definitely be in more pain, and their two sons would also endure a lot of hardships.
Lou Jiangliang couldn't bear to leave his wife or his two children, so he took the initiative to apply to the army leaders for hospitalization. After obtaining approval, Lou Jiangliang was sent to the Kuomintang Army General Hospital in Wuhan.
This hospital has gathered many skilled doctors. As a colonel of the national army, Lou Jiangliang is also qualified to receive good treatment. However, his condition did not improve after being hospitalized, but instead became more and more serious.
This situation occurred not because the doctors were not trying their best, but because the hospital did not have specific medicine at the time and could only use relatively conventional methods to regulate Lou Jiangliang's body.
After Lou Jiangliang was hospitalized, their family's situation became even more embarrassing. In order to take care of her seriously ill husband, Chen Yu was admitted to the hospital with her two young children.
Floor Jiangliang lives in Ward No. 11. Not far from him, there is Ward No. 17. This is a large ward for 6 people. The people living in it are named: Cui Bowen, Shi Pan, and Zeng Limin. , Ling Zhitong, Zha Dajun, Yuan Shangzhi.
Among them, Cui Bowen is the lieutenant colonel director of the ninth supply area of the National Army Joint Logistics Headquarters, and Shi Pan is the major adjutant of the national army. Zeng Limin is a major medic in the national army, Ling Zhitong is a captain medic, Zha Dajun is a cadre of the Hankou City Supervision Bureau, Yuan Shangzhi is just a student, and his uncle is a senior cadre of the hospital.
In short, these 6 people all have a certain social status, but the things they do are despicable.Although they were also admitted to the hospital, their condition was not particularly serious and they could move around. They did not need to stay in bed like Lou Jiangliang.
Since they were always hanging out in the hospital, they easily noticed Chen Yu. Seeing that Chen Yu had a good face, they would always get in front of her like a dog-skin plaster and say some unreasonable things. Sometimes they even He just pounced on her and flirted with her.
Chen Yu hated these playboys. Every time he was teased by them, he would scold them severely and then walk away quickly.
She thought that with such a determined attitude, she should be able to get rid of these guys completely, but she didn't expect that they had always been evil. Even though they knew that Chen Yu's husband was a colonel, they still had their own evil intentions. They secretly observed Chen Yu's activities and secretly formulated a vicious plan.
On September 9, 1948, Chen Yu carried a basin of clothes and found a place to wash them as usual. When passing by Ward No. 17, Cui Bowen and Ling Zhitong, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly jumped out from behind, blocked Chen Yu's mouth with cotton cloth prepared in advance, dragged her into the ward, and quickly closed the door.
The other four people were also in the room. After Chen Yu was dragged into the room by Cui Bowen and Ling Zhitong, they pounced on him like hungry wolves.
Chen Yu was not willing to be humiliated and struggled desperately, but she was weak on her own and could not fight against 6 men. The more she struggled, the more excited Cui Bowen and others became, and they took turns raping her.
Afterwards, the six people walked away. The scarred Chen Yu collapsed in the ward like a rag doll, crying constantly. Chen Yu, who was brutally insulted, was extremely desperate and even wanted to die.
2. Exposing 6 gangsters, the hospital leaders pushed back and blocked
When Chen Yu was bullied by Cui Bowen and six others, the feudal dynasty had long been destroyed, but the feudal ideology that had lasted for thousands of years had not completely disappeared.
If anyone knew what happened to Chen Yu, her reputation would be ruined and her husband would also be humiliated. It was precisely because Cui Bowen saw through this that he openly attacked Chen Yu.
In that era of war and chaos, there were countless women who were bullied like Chen Yu. Most of the victims would choose to swallow their anger to avoid being looked at strangely.
Objectively speaking, their silence may seem to protect themselves, but in fact it encourages the arrogance of the villains.
Chen Yu is a person with a high level of education. She knows very well that telling her story will make people laugh. She wanted to hide it at first, but in the end she realized that if she didn’t pursue the case, Cui Bowen and others would have great consequences. He may kill himself again or harm others.
After a night of ideological struggle, Chen Yu finally decided to stand up and expose the evil deeds of Cui Bowen and others. Even if it means sacrificing his own reputation or even being ridiculed by others, he must pursue it to the end. They must not be allowed to continue to be arrogant.
Chen Yu knew that her husband, Lou Jiangliang, was relatively weak. She did not dare to tell her husband directly what had happened to her. She secretly went out without telling her husband, and took the torn clothes stained with body fluids to the director of the general hospital. office, exposed the atrocities of the six people to Dean Cai Shande, and begged the dean to arrest the six people and punish them severely.
At that time, Liu Jiazhen, the dean of the hospital, was also in the dean's office. After hearing about Chen Yu's experience, he pretended to comfort her and said, Mrs. Floor, we sympathize with your misfortune. I hate the behavior of several people, but this matter cannot be handled with great fanfare. Think about it, what will happen to your reputation and the reputation of Captain Lou if this matter gets spread?
Liu Jiazhen suggested that Chen Yu discuss with six other people to see if the problem could be solved privately. Let each of them contribute a sum of money for medical expenses to compensate for her losses, and then the hospital would find reasons to kick those six people out. In this way, Chen Yu's reputation will not be lost and he can get a lot of money.
This suggestion may seem like the best of both worlds, but it is actually shielding six gangsters. Once Chen Yu accepts this suggestion, she will change from a victim to a bad woman trying to blackmail others. The six gangsters may take the opportunity to beat her up.
Chen Yu was unwilling to accept Liu Jiazhen's suggestion. He just wanted the six villains to be arrested and receive the punishment they deserve.
Before Chen Yu could express his position, the director of the hospital said something even more outrageous. He calmly said to Chen Yu, html Mrs. 5th floor, why do you have to be so serious? You have given birth to two children and are no longer a virgin. After hearing what the dean said, Chen Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
The president and dean of the hospital knew that Cui Bowen and others had done an extremely bad thing, so why were they unwilling to arrest them and punish them severely, but instead suggested that Chen Yu swallow his anger?
The main reason is that the six Cui Bowen people all have certain backgrounds and are inextricably related to the top brass of the national army. The leaders of the hospital are also closely related to two of these six people. If they are dealt with directly and publicly, senior military officials and hospital leaders related to them will also be affected.
On the other hand, although Chen Yu was the victim of this incident, her division commander father had passed away long ago. Although her husband was still a colonel, he had already fallen ill and left the army. How long he could live was a question.
Therefore, the president and dean of the hospital earnestly advised Chen Yu to solve the problem privately and not to make the matter a big deal.
Chen Yu was very angry at the attitude of the dean and dean of students. After knowing that the hospital could not uphold justice for him, he immediately said that he was going to the Military Justice Department to report the six gangsters.
Dean Cai Shande threatened Chen Yu, If you go to the Military Justice Department, the commander of the building will definitely know about you. His current condition is so serious, how can he withstand such stimulation? To take a step back, even if you really go to the Military Law Office to report them, you must first find an auxiliary security officer in accordance with the regulations. Otherwise, you must be detained first. In that case, the commander of the building will have no one to take care of. , your children will also have no one to take care of them.
Under the coercion and inducement of the dean and dean, Chen Yu was forced to agree to wait for the hospital to deal with the matter first, instead of directly reporting it to the Military Justice Office.
Chen Yu originally thought that even if the hospital's dean and dean did not want to make this matter a big deal, they should deal with Cui Bowen and others seriously.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yu left the dean's office, the hospital staff went to ward 17 to clean.
Chen Yu knew that someone wanted to destroy the evidence, so he immediately returned to the dean's office and asked for the injury to be examined and recorded in detail.
This record will become ironclad evidence for Chen Yu to sue the six gangsters in the future. Her request is reasonable and reasonable, but the director of the hospital has resisted and refused to agree.
3. Public opinion continues to ferment, 6 gangsters were arrested
Chen Yu was already in a heavy mood after experiencing what happened before. The bad attitude of the dean and dean of students made her fall into even greater despair.
After returning to the ward, Chen Yu, who was helpless, could no longer bear the grief in his heart and cried directly. Seeing her in such pain, her husband quickly asked what happened. Chen Yu hesitated for a long time before crying and telling the story of being insulted by six gangsters.
html Jiang Liang on the fifth floor changed his face greatly after hearing this, and he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. It was not that he disliked his wife, but that he was angry that he had this disease. If he had not been seriously ill and was hospitalized, his wife would not have followed him to the ward and would not have been harmed by the six gangsters.
The more Lou Jiangliang thought about it, the angrier he became. His physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and his mental state became increasingly depressed. The hospital's treatment of Lou Jiangliang became more and more perfunctory, as if they were hoping that he would die as soon as possible.
What happened to her husband intensified Chen Yu's anger. She again complained to the hospital leaders and asked them to examine her injuries.
Due to Chen Yu's strong request, the hospital reluctantly conducted an injury examination for her.The report showed that Chen Yu had more than a dozen large injuries on his body, including 10 on his face, 1 on his buttocks, and 4 on his lower body.
According to common sense, after the hospital completes the injury examination, it should use this as a basis to investigate Cui Bowen and others. However, the hospital did not take any measures against Cui Bowen and others. Chen Yu saw through the face of the hospital leaders and went directly to the Military Justice Department Cry about what happened to you.
People from the Military Justice Department were shocked when they heard that Chen Yu was raped by six people, and decided to open a case for investigation on the spot.
Chen Yu was worried that people from the Military Law Office were perfunctory about him, so he went to multiple agencies and organizations to accuse Cui Bowen and others. For example, the Hubei Provincial Council, the Hankou Women's Association, and the Zhejiang Han Chinese Association.
These organizations have great social influence. They were shocked when they learned about Chen Yu's experience in the hospital, and they all expressed their opinions on the matter.
The Hankou Women's Association took Chen Yu's matter the most seriously and immediately summoned important members and held an emergency meeting. Not only did it publicly electrify the city and make the crimes of the six people public, it also specially arranged for a person in charge to accompany Chen Yu to Hankou The security commander, please send someone to arrest the six gangsters.
The Hankou Security Commander knew that there were people behind the six gangsters and was unwilling to take care of the matter. He repeatedly postponed the request of the Hankou Women's Association, and finally even hid himself from meeting Chen Yu and others.
The person in charge of the Hankou City Women's Association was very angry at the Hankou Security Commander's evasion. He directly contacted Li Zongren's wife Guo Dejie and Chiang Kai-shek's wife Song Meiling by telegram, and asked them to come forward to seek justice for Chen Yu.
As time went by, Chen Yu's incident became more and more serious. Major media reported the matter one after another. Ordinary people hated the atrocities committed by the six gangsters and demanded that the relevant departments take quick action to arrest them and punish them severely according to law.
Finally, Bai Chongxi personally ordered the arrest of the six gangsters because of the continuous fermentation of public opinion.
However, Bai Chongxi did not directly convict the six people because Bai Chongxi was more concerned about the war on the front line. For him, the matter between Cui Bowen and others and Chen Yu was just a "small matter."
Since there was no direct conviction, Cui Bowen and others who had been arrested began to confuse right and wrong. They used their personal connections to frame Chen Yu everywhere and tried their best to deny their previous atrocities.
Due to the continuous slander by Cui Bowen and others, Chen Yu has been given many ridiculous labels, such as: "mentally ill", "undermining the morale of the national army", "deliberately seducing others", etc.
Chen Yu was very angry at Cui Bowen and others' slander and constantly confronted them. She was not afraid of the quibbles and slander from Cui Bowen and others, but one thing frightened her.
One day, Chen Yu was horrified to find that her eldest son, who was only 4 years old, had disappeared mysteriously. She cried and searched for 4 days before she found her crying son at the police station.
Chen Yu knew that someone was warning him. The other party's intention was obvious. If they could make Chen Yu's eldest son disappear once, they could make him disappear a second time, or even disappear forever.
Chen Yu was very afraid that her son would be harmed, but she did not bow to the evil forces and insisted on seeking justice for herself.
At the beginning, other patients living in the hospital sympathized with Chen Yu's tragic experience and were willing to support him. Later, due to the pressure from some leaders of the hospital, these people had no choice but to change their stance and began to perjure themselves for Cui Bowen and others.
As the saying goes, what is true cannot be faked, and what is false cannot be true. Cui Bowen and others have exhausted all means, but they still cannot cover up their crimes.
The Wuhan Women's Association and ordinary citizens are extremely dissatisfied with their atrocities and strongly demand that the police punish them severely in accordance with the law and give Chen Yu justice.
4. The gangsters tried to escape, but in the end they could not escape.
Later, because the top brass of the national army could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, they were forced to hold a public trial on the six gangsters. Cui Bowen and others knew very well that the crime they committed was very serious, and if they were tried normally, they would definitely not end well.Unwilling to be punished, they lied about being seriously ill and applied for medical parole.
Because of their close relationship with them, the hospital leaders privately issued "critical illness certificates" for them and helped them leave the prison.
After the news that 6 gangsters escaped from prison, the people became even more angry, but the Nationalist Government was unwilling to take coercive measures against the 6 people again.
Some senior military officials even believe that this incident is just a gust of wind. Although it is fierce, it will pass quickly and there is no need to pay too much attention.
No one expected that just a few days after Cui Bowen and others escaped from prison, Chiang Kai-shek personally sent a telegram demanding severe punishment for Cui Bowen and others.
What is going on? Chiang Kai-shek has always ignored this matter before. Why did he suddenly express his position? Chiang Kai-shek ordered the severe punishment of Cui Bowen and others, not because Chiang Kai-shek was so jealous of evil, he just saw an opportunity to win people's hearts.
When Chen Yu was bullied by Cui Bowen and others, the elite troops that Chiang Kai-shek was proud of were defeated one after another because of the People's Liberation Army's brave counterattacks. After the Chen Yu case, the morale of the national army soldiers became even lower and they became war-weary.
When the national army on the frontline discusses the Chen Yu case, they can't help but raise this question: An officer's wife was insulted by six gangsters in turn in a safe rear hospital, but the prisoner has always been free. Is there any justice? Is such a decadent National Government worth their lives?
If this idea is allowed to continue to spread, the combat effectiveness of the national army will become weaker and weaker, which is something Chiang Kai-shek is not willing to accept at all.
Chiang Kai-shek originally did not want to pay attention to the matter of Chen Yu and the six gangsters. After knowing the thoughts of the soldiers, he was forced to change his mind and personally issued a telegram, demanding that the case be strictly investigated, the guilty must be severely punished, and everyone should be given an explanation.
Chiang Kai-shek's attitude directly affected Bai Chongxi. He directly issued a strict order to the Military Justice Department, requiring the personnel of the Military Justice Department to report the verdict within three days.
The National Government officials who had been dragging their feet suddenly became more efficient due to the successive statements of the two big figures, and they quickly arrested Cui Bowen and others for trial.
A few days later, Cui Bowen and four others were sentenced to death for committing rape and deprived of their civil rights for life. Zha Dajun and Yuan Shangzhi were sent to the Hankou District Court for trial because they did not have military status.
After Chen Yu learned the verdict, he burst into tears again. Because of the previous incident, their family was greatly affected. Chen Yu was afraid of being retaliated by relatives and friends of Cui Bowen and others, so he left Wuhan with his seriously ill husband and returned to his hometown in Zhejiang to live a low-key life.
After the verdict came out, Chiang Kai-shek received praise from many people, and the frontline soldiers also had strong morale.
However, Cui Bowen and others were not directly executed. They have been locked up in prison. Apart from being unable to move around, they still live a happy life.
Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi did not continue to pay attention to their affairs. This can also prove from the side that Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi did not really want to seek justice for Chen Yu, but were just worried that Chen Yu's affairs would affect the morale of the military.
The top brass of the national army behind Cui Bowen and others saw through this and tried to delay as much time as possible, hoping to find an opportunity to release Cui Bowen and others.
On March 22, 1949, when Chiang Kai-shek stepped down again, Wuhan Senator Zhang Renji asked Bai Chongxi face to face why Cui Bowen and others had not been executed.
Bai Chongxi said helplessly that he had too many things to do and needed to go back and investigate. The next day, Cui Bowen and four others were sent to the execution ground, their bodies were identified, and they were executed. They died in a very embarrassing manner.
Zha Dajun and Yuan Shangzhi had not been sentenced to death before, so they were not taken to the execution ground, but they were also severely punished.
At this point, Chen Yu’s matter is finally over. The bad guys who had maliciously bullied her were all punished as they deserved.
It seems very satisfying, but the hurt that Chen Yu has suffered will never disappear. She can only live in pain while carrying a heavy burden.
The high-level officials of the national army pushed and blocked and protected the criminals, which exposed the corruption of the Nationalist government. The people were even more disappointed with the National Government because of Chen Yu's incident.
In the end, the Nationalist government was completely defeated because it lost the support of the people. Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to accept this result and fled the mainland with his defeated soldiers.
Chiang Kai-shek always felt that his defeat was caused by others. In fact, the corrupt National Government has already sowed bitter fruits. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people are the foundation of a country. Those who are separated from the masses will only be abandoned by the masses.
