Chapter 117 117. Changchun after Autumn

■ See Changchun again?Is Changchun not over yet? □ How will it end?Long Yingtai only talked about "phenomena", but in fact it was only the first half of the phenomenon. Changchun had more of the second half, that is, "accounting after autumn".Chiang Kai-shek discriminated against miscellaneous troops all the way, but half of the troops defending Changchun were the 60th Army that he discriminated against. In the end, the 60th Army over there revolted, and a big gap was opened in the defense line. The new army here was also hopeless to defend the city.The New Seventh Army was originally Sun Liren's old team. They reached an agreement with the Communist Party, allowing the chiefs who put down their weapons to be disarmed and returned to the fields, and they did not search the officers and their families, and did not confiscate personal belongings.The chiefs of the New Seventh Army are mainly Li Hong, commander of the New 38th Division, Chen Mingren, commander of the New 38th Division, Peng Keli, deputy commander of the New 38th Division, and Zeng Changyun, commander of the 113th Regiment.

In 1950, Sun Liren was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to bring Li Hong and others to Taiwan.Li Hong arrived in Hong Kong at the end of March 1950, brought his wife Ma Zhenyi, his mother-in-law and a daughter, who he remarried while fighting in the Northeast, to Taiwan.The couple were arrested shortly after.Ma Zhenyi studied music at Jilin Normal School and received higher education. He was accused of being imprisoned by Luo Zhi.Chiang Kai-shek believed that the female intellectuals who escaped from the occupied areas must have pretended to be communist bandits, and the punishment was harsher than that of women with low education.Ma Zhenyi was pregnant at the time, and Li Hong's mother-in-law and young daughter were evicted from their original residence by officials and moved to a very simple house.In the prison, Li Hong was tortured to sit on a "tiger stool", and his feet were almost disabled.After long-term secret isolation and interrogation, when the fellow sufferers could talk, Li Hong had to rely on the help of the fellow sufferers to perform simple rehabilitation and walk slowly.Li Hong and his wife were locked in the same place but in different cells and could not see each other.It was not until they were transferred to the Taoyuan Secrecy Bureau Prison after a long period of secret isolation and interrogation that the husband and wife could meet each other in a hurry when they passed each other's cell door.When Ma Zhenyi was about to give birth, he was sent to an empty room in the prison to give birth to a son. This son accompanied him in prison for seven and a half years, and he could be regarded as the youngest prisoner.As for Li Hong and other criminals, all of them have been in prison for 25 years without even an indictment, and they have been wronged for 38 years.In 1988, Zeng Xinyi wrote in "The Last Survivor - General Peng Keli Returning Home with Zeng Changyun's Ashes":

General Li Hong has been unable to speak since he suffered a stroke at home last year, and can only express simple consciousness by nodding and shaking his head in front of relatives and friends. Chen Mingren and Zeng Changyun died of illness several years ago.Among the four, Old General Peng Keli was seventy-nine years old and still maintained a clear consciousness, able to walk and talk to others. The author followed Li Ao to work on the special book "Research on Sun Liren", and the interview work was carried out in many aspects at the same time.When the author learned of General Peng Keli's residence, he also heard that he might return to his hometown in Changsha, Hunan to visit relatives in the near future. Almost everyone who talked about him thought that he would not return to Taiwan during this trip.In order to do an interview on the "Sun case", he ran from north to south.He rushed from the north of Taiwan to the south of Taiwan, heard some clues about Peng Keli, and rushed back to Taipei from the southernmost tip of Taiwan.I was really worried that when I arrived in Taipei, Mr. Peng had already boarded a plane to bid farewell to Taiwan and would never return!Fortunately, the author was finally able to meet Peng Keli several times before he returned home.Although Peng Keli's conversation was quite reserved, he also frankly answered some key doubts.
