Chapter 123 123. The Black Prison Experienced by Gong Debo

■Gong Debo sat in the black prison for seven years. He made great contributions in the war of resistance and won the Victory Medal. □So what if you have meritorious service?Li Hong and the others have gone abroad for meritorious service, and Britain has given them medals, but they still haven't taken care of them. ■Gong Debai and Li Hong were both imprisoned in the imperial "Jinyiwei". Gong Debai was a man of literature. He recalled many dark details and must have written them down. □Really, it’s all written out, like he wrote "Torture in the Secrecy Bureau": I must first describe the torture by the Secret Service.In the future, almost every case has something to do with torture.Their first torture was called "Tiger Bench", which is a very strong long bench.Every time a person is caught, if he feels that he is important, or has evidence to prove his importance, he will go to the "tiger bench" first.In this method, the victim's head is tightly bound with a belt, and then tied to the general's column of the "tiger stool" so that it cannot be shaken.Next, place your legs flat on the stool, with your feet forward.If after being tied up in this way, they have not obtained the confession they need, a brick is placed under the foot, so that the foot is raised, and the tendon at the back of the foot is extended, which makes people very painful.If you still don't confess, add another brick.So far, no one can bear it and must confess.If they are not recruited again, the front of the legs will be severely beaten with a big stick (in the past, the officials spanked the buttocks, and the back was hit with a small board, which is completely opposite to the place where the Secret Bureau beat).No matter any hero, as long as he has a stick, he will cry like a wolf.But there are those who were beaten dozens of times and did not confess.Those who had been beaten had black legs. Not only could they not walk, but they also struggled to urinate because all the organs in their bodies were blocked and malfunctioned.In the first few months, I personally saw about a hundred people being beaten.Either it is the same number, or it is seen carried by the door.The person with the same number as me who was beaten the most was Liu Jinyu, the general manager of Taiwan Power Company. Liu was beaten for seven hours (of course there was a break in the middle), and on May 2, 1939 at 9:00 p.m. on the tiger bench. At 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, it was carried to No. 4 where I lived.The guard opened the door, and Liu fell into the room, unable to move.He took my place, so I had to sit and wait, and when I got up early the next morning, Liu Xiaoshi was named after my fellow Communist Party member Shi, and he carried him in and out.Liu Zhi's embarrassing situation makes people feel pitiful.

Liu is a native of Fujian, a graduate of Shanghai Aurora University, a French student, and an expert in electrical engineering.He was arrested because his son sent a letter from the bandit area, asking him to keep all the property of Taiwan Power Company and not to destroy it, so that the Communist Party can take over it after it captures Taiwan.This letter was seized by the inspectors, who took a photo of it, and still handed the original letter to Liu to see what Liu would do with it.After Liu got the letter, he did not report it to the government. The Bureau of Secrecy believed that he was a bandit and arrested Liu.

After about four or five days in the South Office, Liu left the South Office.We thought he was released, and were glad.However, he was not released, but transferred to No. 88, Section 1, Wuchang Street, which is the prison (now abolished) opposite the Taipei City Police Station, where he was detained and shot dead on June 13.It was only a few days after Wu Shizhi was shot.Liu can be said to be an innocent disaster. The other person who was beaten the worst was Li Hong, the former commander of the Changchun garrison and the commander of the New Seventh Army.Others, like Lieutenant General Chen Baocang who was implicated in the Wu Shi case, although he was beaten the most, he was not as embarrassing as Liu and Li, and he was inferior.

After getting on the tiger stool, dozens or two or three hundred were beaten again. Those who refused to confess were hanged in the air with the tiger stool on their bodies. This is called "flying".There are relatively few people who receive this kind of criminal law.I asked the people in the room, and only Wu Xingquan (pronounced like this), the instructor of the Police Academy, could not move his hands after flying, and had to be helped by others for eating and defecating.After more than a month, the left hand was gradually able to move, so I ate with my left hand, placing the rice bowl on the floor, and the person bent down on the ground, eating like a dog.It's just an extra left hand, which can put the rice in the mouth.

Gong Debo recalled the case of Li Hong and others, he wrote: Li Hong, Chen Mingren, Peng Keli, and Zeng Changyun were still in Taoyuan Prison until October 1951 when I recorded this incident. They were neither sentenced nor released.Because Li and the other four were neither spies nor committed any other crimes, the Bureau of Secrecy knew it all.Because torture is ineffective in extorting a confession, and deception and torture to force his subordinates to make false accusations that Li et al. Li Hong and others are spies.The Security Bureau once transferred Pan and Wu to the South Office, and sent someone to talk to them about their emotional intelligence: "Please help, confess that Li and others are spies, and the bureau will end the case, and you will also be rewarded." But Pan and Wu The people (not interrogated at the same time) replied unanimously: "In my conscience, I really don't know that Li and the others are spies. If you speak without conscience, it is unacceptable." So they tried to induce and cheat confessions, but there was still no result.

It was not until 1975 when Chiang Kai-shek died, and Chiang Ching-kuo announced the commutation of his sentence, and Li Hong and the other four were included in the release list. If they were to be released, there must be a charge and a sentence. At this time, the verdict was issued to them.He was charged with "conspiring to subvert and instigating rebellion" and sentenced to life imprisonment.But because they had been in prison for 25 years and their sentences were commuted, they were able to escape from prison.Pan Dehui and Wu Songyang, who refused to falsely accuse them, were each sentenced to seven years for the crime of "knowingly being spies of bandits but failing to inform and report", and they have already been released from prison.Pan Dehui also visited me after he was released from prison. He said that his wife was tortured and imprisoned for half a year.
