Chapter 144 144. The Bloody Head Hanging on the City Wall

At that dinner, Qi Shiying sat in front of me, his whole life, he swarmed me, he told me the details of Chiang Kai-shek complaining about him "forcing Zhang Xueliang", and he defended himself one by one.However, my concern is not here.What I care about is the part that is difficult for him to defend himself.Years later, his daughter, Qi Bangyuan, was there and accidentally leaked this: In November 1948, the Northeast was completely occupied. My father called the underground anti-Japanese comrades and asked them to try to get out. They would not be able to survive if they stayed under the CCP’s rule. As a result, most of the comrades still couldn’t get out.The reason is, for one thing, where will you go after you come out?how to liveSecond, after the September 18th Incident, everyone fled abroad for 14 years and suffered from homelessness. They finally went home and did not want to wander again. In the past, people in the Northeast felt that they were too far away from home when they crossed the Yellow River. It seems that I will never come back in my life.Three, there is no means of transportation to fly south in remote areas, so even if they are willing, it is difficult to fly.What happened to these people who stayed in their hometown?Before the news was completely cut off, someone wrote a letter, saying: "Half of our lives we were born and died to restore the country. You encouraged us back then. If there is China, there will be us. Now you abandon us and ignore us. Are you at ease?"

My father first went to Guangzhou with the Central Committee, and then returned to Chongqing to attend the Legislative Yuan meeting.On November 28, 1949, a meeting of the Central Standing Committee of the Kuomintang was held in Chongqing. Two tables of meals were reserved for the meeting. During the meal, everyone felt very heavy and felt like they were breaking up. They boarded the last plane the next day. to Taiwan.When he first came to Taiwan, he was hospitalized with a lung tumor. After the operation, he woke up from a nightmare. In his dream, he saw a blood-dripping head hanging on the city wall and asked him, "Who will take care of my wife and children?"

Qi Bangyuan said: "Twenty years of struggle pushed my father from thirty to fifty, and the disillusionment of ideals became a full tear bank." In the tear bank, there are "huge regrets, deep wounds Pain", although he "lived in Taiwan after the age of 50" and lived to be 88 years old, but he dreamed back at midnight, not without pain in his heart.When his daughter visited Kang Ningxiang, she recalled: What he really wanted to say was that the fate of our vast land and people was ruined by the wrong decisions of a few people.And in the end, it doesn't matter whether it is life or death.He used to promise the orphans and widows of those underground workers that everything would be fine when the national army counterattacked.He once asked the Bank of China for 3 million emergency funds to give the orphans and widows initial comfort money, but because he was not in the position, the above only gave 200,000, a cup of tea for each person!As a result, the orphans and widows scolded my father, saying that he broke his promise.Why did I say that he picked up the wine glass and shed tears?It's not for myself, but I feel sorry for those orphans and widows.Toiled but in vain, but helpless.

Why do I say Qi Shiying is a role model?Because he couldn't close his eyes and couldn't hand in the papers.After being with me for a while, he alienated me. He avoided me for seventeen years when I went to prison and when I got out of prison.I think the important reason is that what he saw in Li Ao made him uneasy. Li Ao always pinched him, making it harder for him to deceive and explain himself.Coincidentally, 22 years after his death, in July 2009, I received a book "For Brother Li Ao" - his daughter wrote to me: "We come from the same hometown, Have the same anger, but express it in different ways." "I hope you will send me some words after reading this book."More than a year has passed, and I haven't written a single line to her.
