Chapter 31 Section 8

Several spies quickly snatched the newspaper, and after a look, it not only detailed Guo Moruo's family disputes, but also their current address.Several people were suddenly excited. Ye Xiangzhi said with a smile: "That old flirt owes a flirtatious debt, this time we can take advantage of it. It's not too late, we'll do it right away." He proposed to use the old method, in which Jin Mingjie pretended to be a reporter in advance, and in the name of interviewing, first went to find out the truth, and then deployed a specific action plan according to the situation. Jin Mingjie then rushed to Guo Moruo's apartment in Hong Kong, but unexpectedly, the other party closed the door when he saw that it was a reporter.After returning to the station, Ye Xiangzhi was gearing up, and said to his spies: "Although we haven't seen Guo Moruo in person, we have already learned his exact address. This time, this romantic ghost will settle all the new and old accounts." That's it. We are divided into two groups, one group is disguised as a peddler at the door of his house to observe the movement, and only waits for the other person to show his face before doing it, and the other group is nearby to respond."

The next day, a few probing peddlers appeared on the small street near Guo's house, they were dressed up by several military spies under Ye Xiangzhi. This situation immediately caught Qiao Guanhua's attention. He called for Hua Kezhi, who was in charge of the rescue work, and instructed: "Guo Moruo's whereabouts have been exposed, and he must be sent away safely as soon as possible." After Hua Kezhi took the order, he made a decisive decision, no matter how his family affairs were handled, he sent Guo Moruo out of Hong Kong first. One day in February 1949, under the arrangement of the CCP’s underground party, Guo Moruo took off his glasses, disguised himself as a peddler delivering pastries, quietly walked out the back door, and then went straight to the Kowloon Wharf and boarded a passenger ship bound for Tianjin.

The spies who watched day and night did not realize that the situation had changed until three days later.When they reacted, there was no shadow of Guo Moruo.After Mao Renfeng got the report, he couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing, "Let Guo Moruo go, what face do we have to see the president!" Guo Moruo left Hong Kong and arrived in Shenyang after liberation.Soon, Anna also left Guo's house under the persuasion and guarantee of comrades from the CCP's underground party.Soon after, his daughter Guo Shuyu was arranged by the underground party, disguised as a dumb girl, and went north to Tianjin by sea ship, and went to the liberated area via Beiping.

After Anna brought her children to Taiwan, life was not satisfactory.The youngest son, Zhihong, dropped out of a middle school due to a language barrier, and went to Hong Kong alone to find his father without saying goodbye.Guo Moruo had already left Hong Kong to go north at this time, and Xia Yan, the head of the underground party, received him and arranged for him to stay at Yu Liqun's house for a while.About a month later, Xia Yan went to him and asked him to write to his mother, eldest brother, and third brother.Let them come to Hong Kong together.Subsequently, Guo Zhihong was arranged to go to Tianjin by sea ship, and then transferred to the liberated Peiping.

After receiving the letter, Anna rushed to Hong Kong with her two sons, where they were arranged by the underground party for a period of time. They arrived in Yantai, Shandong Province by sea in early May, and arrived in Beijing a few days later, where they were arranged to live in the Cuiwei Road Guest House. In this way, Anna and her five children with Guo Moruo gathered around their father except the second child, Guo Bo, who stayed in Japan.So far, the task of the third batch of democrats represented by Guo Moruo organized by the CCP has been successfully completed. "The sky in the liberated area is a clear sky, and the people in the liberated area like it very much..." In 1949, this song ran faster than the artillery shells of the PLA, and the blue sky in the north could be seen as far away as Hong Kong in southern China.

"Hua Shang Bao" continued to publish headlines in red, reporting the progress of the PLA, and the color became more and more red.Everyone knows that this newspaper has the background of the CCP, so the "Hua Shang Bao" has become the CCP's liaison station in Hong Kong. The young student Chen Wu wanted to defect to the Liberated Areas, but Hong Kong was so popular at this time that he couldn't even buy a ferry ticket.Chen Wu found "Hua Shang Bao" and found Wu Huozhou, the editor of the reader's page who specialized in contacting readers.Wu Huozhou Mingli was the editor of "Hua Shang Bao" and was secretly responsible for transporting people to the liberated areas.Wu Huozhou arranged for a group of overseas Chinese and Hong Kong and Macao students to go to Tianjin on the "Zesheng Ferry".Due to the impact of the typhoon, the "Zesheng ship" was delayed from leaving the port. During this period, the Kuomintang agents bombed and sank the "Zesheng ship".Wu Huozhou asked Chen Wu to decide whether to go or stay.After Chen Wu published an article in the "Hua Shang Bao" reporting the death of the "Ze Sheng Lun", he embarked on the journey without hesitation.

Xu Likang was an instrument officer of China Airlines. He saw an article reporting on the Liberated Areas in "Ta Kung Pao", so he voted for the newspaper.One night, an unexpected visitor came to his house. It turned out that "Ta Kung Pao" forwarded Xu Likang's letter to Wu Huozhou.Wu Huozhou went to the door three times to make arrangements for Xu Likang and his wife to arrive in Qingdao by boat.Technical talent Xu Likang arrived in the liberated area and was immediately selected and transferred to the newly formed air force. A Shandong youth fled to Hong Kong before the liberation of his hometown out of a misunderstanding of the Communist Party's policies and became a coolie.Wu Huozhou explained the party's policies to him and bought a boat ticket for him.This Shandong youth later became a rural grassroots cadre.

Some KMT personnel who had fled to Hong Kong, who had nothing to do with the CCP, also "ran into it" and contacted the uprising through this channel. When Li Siguang returned to the motherland, Kuomintang agents tracked him from Switzerland and London to Hong Kong, trying to hijack him.Wu Huozhou hid Li Siguang in the suburbs of Hong Kong and then transported him through Shenzhen. When Hua Luogeng flew to Hong Kong, Wu Huozhou led him through the Peninsula Hotel without stopping, and then went to the Kowloon Hotel to hide. According to incomplete statistics: On September 13, 1948, Shen Junru, Cai Tingkai, Tan Pingshan, Zhang Bojun, and Lin Yiyuan went north, accompanied by Zhang Hanfu and Li Jiaren.This is recognized as the first batch.

On September 17, Wang Shaojiao, Fang Yuyan, Li Yang and others went north. In December 1948, eight other people, including Qian Jiaju, Li Zhangda, Chen Shaoxian, Chen Jinsheng, Chen Qiyuan, Xia Gengnong, Lin Zhifu, and Lu Yudao, went northward. Known as the third batch, on January 28, 1949, Li Jishen and others went north. At the beginning of February 1949, Wu Yaozong, Xie Xuehong, Li Chunqing and others went north. Zhu Yunshan's son, Zhu Shitong, headed north on a Burmese landing craft, passing by the sea of ​​Qingdao, just in time to meet the Kuomintang air force bombing and sinking the cruiser "Chongqing".
