Chapter 6 Chapter Four

"...I can't mention the past five years. Those days are not human! Third brother, just look at the clothes I'm wearing right now! Where's the meat? It's all fucking used up! Earlier! I have grown bigger and bigger, and my clothes are always too small. In the past five years, I have been living more and more shrinking, and my clothes are always too big. Hey, do you know this dress? It was from Mr. An’s house at No. 125 William Street, Qingpu five years ago It fit me right then! After I was sentenced, I was confiscated as soon as I entered the dark cell, and I was not allowed to wear it. Now I am allowed to wear it, but I can’t wear it anymore. Hey, third brother, you have to do whatever you say first. Get me a suit of clothes that fit me! I can't unload the train with you in this loose silk trousers coat, can I?"

"That's it! That's it!" "Let's make it clear, third brother, I can't stay in this damn place for long. I have to go back to Qingpu after spending enough money. I have to find Mr. An on William Street and ask him to give me a certificate. I was ordered to evacuate. It’s not pickpocketing military trains. Now that the blue sky and white sun are up and the big red flags are up, our grievances can be explained clearly, can’t we?! Hey, third brother, don’t worry, listen to me first, and tell me how wronged I am Right! When you sent me to the car that year, what was waiting for me here was a fucking black prison! I spent five years in Weifeng and didn’t know what the streets of the county town looked like until I was released last week. It’s just the first time I’ve walked around the street. We donated it for five years, it’s like a dream. Before I saw you, I wanted to go back to Qingpu, but I didn’t dare to climb the train because of lack of money. It didn't work out!"

"Okay, okay, I didn't go well! Brother Shaobai, you don't know how much the outside world has changed in the past five years! If you really got on the train and rushed back to Qingpu, there would still be a black prison waiting for you. Well, I have to lose my head!" "Nonsense! The whole of China is raising the blue sky, white sun and red flags, and there will be five-color flags on the streets of Qingpu!" "Yes, yes, there is no five-color flag anymore, and An Zhongliang has also become the chairman of the Qingpu trade union, so proud..." "Still, Mr. An Zhongliang understands me! The big retreat back then was arranged by him and Mr. Gao. He has to admit it!"

"Fuck you, do you know? The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have stopped cooperating a long time ago. If the person surnamed An hadn't arrested the Communist Party in Qingpu, I wouldn't have gone to Weifeng to unload the train under his name! Hey, Shaobai, you Don't interrupt! Listen to me carefully, I have to tell you about the changes in the situation in the past five years, so that you don't get confused again!" "Oh... good! good! Third brother, tell me, tell me, start from the beginning!" "On the day you left, soldiers from the Qingpu Police Department and Superintendent Zhao's Office arrested An Zhongliang and He Gongcheng. He Gongcheng is also a member of the Kuomintang. Did you know that?"

"knew." "He Gongcheng was beaten to death, and he insisted on not revealing the secrets of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. A month later, the Military Law Department of Superintendent Zhao took Lao He to the foot of Huaying Mountain in the western suburbs and shot him. An Zhongliang had a good life and was not shot. Superintendent Zhao released him, but it is not clear why he was released. Some people said that his father had donated a sum of military salary to Superintendent Zhao; When the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived at Qingpu, the KMT held public activities, and immediately registered the general party members, and then cleaned up the party, arresting Communist Party members like you and me..."

"Why...why? Hey, isn't everyone in the same group? All...all pull the Chinese car..." "It's not the same. I'll tell you this truth later! Let me talk about things first: On April 12, 2016, the Kuomintang launched a counter-revolutionary rebellion in Shanghai and began to clean up the party. Because the Northern Expedition Army in Qingpu has not entered yet, The relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been maintained for a period of time..." "What... what is this all about?" "Oh, the Kuomintang betrayed the revolution! Qingpu Communists had no choice but to move and retreat. I was a fortune teller and hid in Weifeng in time. Sixteen people including Zhang Xiaohan were arrested. Some were sent to prison, and some were killed. The second child we worshiped together, Wu Yinlin, was also shot!"

"Second...Second brother was shot? An...Mr. An didn't even tell him anything?" "What the fuck, it would be great if An Zhongliang was killed by Superintendent Zhao! He is still alive, and he knows the situation of the Communist Party in Qingpu best, so he became a fucking member of the Qing Party. Many good brothers were taken away by him. Yes, if you weren't squatting in Weifeng's black prison, he would have to arrest you, maybe he would chop your head off!" "Well... so to speak, I... I have been wronged and spent the past five years in prison, but I got a lot of money!"

"Isn't that right! The six relatives surnamed An don't recognize you. There is a female executive committee member of the Kuomintang, Ling Feng, in the executive committee of eight of you. Do you remember?" "Remember! Remember! It seems to be the teacher of the girls' middle school?" "Yes, this woman is not bad. She talks about feelings. She blamed those who sympathized with us Communist Party friends during the purge. As you may know, she is on good terms with another female executive committee member of the Communist Party, Sang Yeting..." "Mulberry leaves? I know! She's a female worker from the Daxing Spinning Factory. She's pretty, with very nice eyes, and her neck looks like..."

"The person surnamed An arrested Sang Ye. Ling Feng went to 125 William Street to intercede with An Zhongliang. An Zhongliang scolded her and said that she was suspected of being pro-Communist. Ri followed her and forced her to flee Qingpu..." "Where's Sang Ye?" "I only know that I was arrested, where I was locked up, and whether I died. I don't know at all!" "It's gotten to this point, third brother, why don't you think about getting rid of An Zhongliang?!" "Don't mention it! We have thought of this move a long time ago. On the orders of Mr. Gao, I and a few brothers went to No. 125 William Street and dropped a bomb. Damn it, An Zhongliang was not bombed, but one of his family The servant and one of An Zhongliang's children were killed! Tell me, what happened! I'm so sorry!"

"Is that child An Zhongliang's son or daughter?" "It's his daughter, I heard she's less than one year old." "Hey! It's... quite miserable! You...you two parties' gangs are shopping, it's nothing to do with other people's children!" "No way, class struggle!" "Third brother, tell me, I... what can I do in the future?" "Hey, you still have to ask me, why don't you say it? You are wronged. You want to go to Qingpu to find your Mr. An and ask him to give you a personal certificate." "Don't be kidding, third brother! I fucking joined the Communist Party, not the Kuomintang gang! You killed his own daughter again, I... can I be sent to the door to be shot?"

"Then what do you say?" "I... I'm determined to follow you, third brother! Wherever you go, I'll go there! Whatever you do, I'll do whatever you want; anyway, if you have something to eat, there must be... something for me to eat; something for you to live , I have to live. Not to mention that we are in the same party, are revolutionary buddies, are... uh, are revolutionary comrades... Comrade, just exchange posts with us and kowtow to Jinlan's love , third brother, you can’t leave me alone, can you?” "That's, that's..." "In the current situation, I can't go back to my hometown in Zaozhuang. Who knows how to catch the Communist Party there! In the past, a warlord occupied a piece of land, and we committed crimes in this area, and hid in another area. It's okay. Now, the blue sky and white sun flags are all over the world. , where are we going to hide? He is forcing us to do our best, so we have no choice but to do so! Third Brother, I am determined to follow you, and the Communist Party!" "Okay! Then you stay at Weifeng, don't dream of returning to Qingpu, be careful with your words and actions, and don't tell anyone that you are in the Communist Party, understand?" "It goes without saying!" "Today, you sleep here for the night first, and I'll come to you tomorrow to bring you some clothes and some money. I'll settle my life first, and I'll talk about other things later." "What about unloading the train and doing the work?" "I'll wait until I get a way out! Uncle Wu who controls the station wharf is the leader of the Youth Gang. Without his nod, no one can get a job. Besides, you are a fitter. If you can find a job as a fitter, wouldn't it be better than unloading cars?" , The physical work of carrying bags?! Let’s rest for two days, brother Shaobai, third brother, I won’t cheat you!” "Then...then please take care of the third brother!"
