Chapter 76 3. There really is a Wang Yimin in Harbin

Mr. Wang Gang, who played Heshen in "Legend of Liu Luoguo", has long been known to every household for his big head, round eyes, and often with a weird smile.However, it was not from the screen that the public became aware of the artist's presence in the first place.In the early years, Mr. Wang Gang taught two long storytellings that left an indelible impression on many listeners: one was by Verne; the other was "Harbin at Night" describing the resistance movement in Northeast China.The latter storytelling created a legendary character——Wang Yimin. Wang Yimin in the storytelling is an underground member of the Communist Party of China who uses a tutor as a cover to gallop in Harbin, which is occupied by the Japanese invaders, and works on the hidden front.He not only has an indomitable will, mature and capable fighting skills, but also is witty and suave, with high martial arts skills.Not only Sai Shangxiao and Lu Shujuan in Pingshu were deeply influenced by him, but even the young people in front of the radio also regarded him as their idol.This should be a very successful character portrayed in literary works describing the Anti-Japanese War in Northeast China.However, storytelling is storytelling after all, which belongs to literary creation.Therefore, when Sa saw the name of "Wang Yimin" in the list of "Communist Bandit Leaders" in "Annihilating the Communist Bandits" compiled by the Puppet Manchukuo in 1933, he was as surprised as someone who found it in the Eighth Route Army sequence. There is a group leader named Li Yunlong.

"Annihilation of the Communist Bandits" is not a public publication, but a confidential document issued by the Puppet Manchukuo Association in May 1933. It is used as a reference to introduce the activities of the Communist Party in Puppet Manchuria, and is used by senior military and political officials of Puppet Manchuria. The Puppet Manchukuo Association was a puppet organization created by Ishihara Wanji, the "brain tank" of the Japanese Kwantung Army.This organization was manipulated by the Japanese Kwantung Army behind the scenes and absorbed senior military and political officials from the Puppet Manchukuo.Speaking of the establishment of the Concorde Association, there is another anecdote that makes people laugh and cry.Based on the idea of ​​"using China to control China", Shi Yuan put forward the idea of ​​establishing a puppet organization in Manchukuo, which was unanimously supported by the Japanese army.Strange Ishihara asked what was going on, and the official in charge told him that it was not easy to establish because Pu Yi disagreed.Shi Yuan felt baffled, saying what was Pu Yi, how dare he oppose the Kwantung Army's decision?The other party said that Puyi was not opposed, but desperately opposed.The reason is that the pseudo-organization you proposed is called the "Concord Party". The Qing Dynasty was overthrown by the revolutionaries at the beginning. When they heard the word "Party", they were extremely disgusted, so they refused to compromise no matter what.Shi Yuan heard that this is the case, he said, the Concord Party is not suitable, how about changing it to the Concord Society?

Only in this way can Puyi accept it.Probably, this incident was one of the few times that the puppet emperor challenged his Japanese master. "Annihilating the Communist Bandits" is a booklet of about 30 pages, which includes the activities of the CCP's armed forces and underground organizations, and the distribution of the "Commintern" forces infiltrated from the Soviet Union in Northeast China, etc.Its cover bears the word "confidential", stamped with the seal of the recipient, and marked "printed instead of transcribed", which shows that its distribution area is narrow.This document is currently in the collection of the Japan Self-Defense Forces Archives and the Osaka Prefectural Library.

In this volume of materials, the Japanese side listed the organization of the Northeast Communist Party in the form of diagrams in many places based on the information obtained by its secret service agencies. The name of "Wang Yimin" appeared on the page describing the cadres of the Manchurian "Provincial Committee" of the CCP, indicating that he was the "Organization Director" of the Manchurian Provincial Committee. Could it be that there really was a legendary Wang Yimin in Harbin under that night? The answer is absolutely correct. "Wang Yimin" was indeed an important leader of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and had been working latently in Harbin for a long time.However, in 1933, his identity was not the head of the organization of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, but the secretary of the Jilin Special Branch of the Communist Party of China, and he was also in charge of the propaganda and distribution work of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee. In order to cover his career, he traveled in Jilin and Harbin, leading the local labor movement and student movement.

His real name is Li Weimin, a native of Hebei, born in Jilin in 1906, joined the Communist Party of China in 1930, and is the founder of the Jilin Party of the Communist Party of China. "Wang Yimin" was his pseudonym when he was engaged in underground work. Li Weimin is a close comrade-in-arms of Yang Jingyu, and he sent a large number of outstanding members to the Anti-Japanese Federation during his work in Jilin and Harbin. In the spring of 1935, he was ordered to leave Harbin to go to Tangyuan County to take charge of the work of the Anti-Japanese Society, and then transferred to the customs. After the July 7th Incident, he was engaged in armed struggle in Shanxi. On January 11, 1942, Li Weimin was sent back to Jilin by the organization, where he lay in ambush for a long time, and carried out intelligence work under the cover of opening a clothing store and textile workshop. After Japan surrendered in 1945, he participated in the work of the Soviet Army Security Bureau and established the Jilin Special Branch of the Communist Party of China as the secretary of the special branch. In October, I got in touch with Chen Yun.November of the same year.The Jilin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, and he served as the deputy secretary of the Municipal Committee.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as the director of the Public Security Bureau, deputy mayor and mayor of Anshan City.He is the author of the book "Underground Beacon". Died on March 25, 1976.

Although the real "Wang Yimin" is not the martial arts master in the novel, his experience is equally legendary.An article once described his experience of working behind enemy lines in this way—— After Li Weimin arrived in Harbin, he successfully connected with him.One day, wearing a suit and a top hat, Li Weimin strode into Xietianxi Pharmacy on Zhengyang Street outside Daowai.According to the secret report of the underground party, this pharmacy is well-run and has no background of enemy agents. The clerk first looked at the big drug list issued by Li Weimin, and then saw that the buyer was not young, so he quickly let him sit down in the cashier behind the counter, lit cigarettes, and served tea.

"Where do old customers get rich?" "I'm from Yunxing Hospital in Yushu County. When I come to Harbin this time, I want to try and buy some medicines first. If the products are good and the price is cheap, I will come here often in the future." Li Weimin said very pleasantly. When the guy heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly invited the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper picked up the medicine list, nodded while looking at it.But when I saw half of it, I suddenly frowned and said, "Oh, why did you buy so much potassium polychlorate? It's not easy!" Earlier, the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee had given Li Weimin a task to buy five pounds of potassium chlorate for the Zhuhe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army to use as explosives.This kind of chemical can be used for medical disinfection, and can only be bought from western pharmacies, but buying this alone, and the quantity is so large, is likely to attract the attention of the enemy, and pharmacies will never sell it.Therefore, according to the needs of the guerrillas for other drugs, he prescribed a large drug list, including potassium chlorate.

"I buy in bulk, and there are a lot of other medicines! There is a shortage of this kind of product over there, and I buy more because I am afraid that it will be out of stock in the future!" Li Weimin's words are reasonable. "However, this kind of medicine..." The shopkeeper put his mouth next to Li Weimin's ear and whispered, "You are from another county, and you probably don't know it. The Japanese military police have ordered you not to sell more!" Then he lowered his voice and said, "This can be used as explosives!" Li Weimin straightened his face and said, "Why do you say that? We are all serious business people who seek profit with capital. If so, our business will be difficult!" He stood up while talking, reaching out to get it back Prescriptions.

The shopkeeper took a step back and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry too much, our store is well-known in Harbin. Now that customers are here, how can we push them away?" When Li Weimin heard it, he also pulled back the words: "Yes, I heard about your name's reputation in Yushu County, so I went straight to your number when I got off the train. Your number can never disappoint me!" "Of course...it's easy to discuss, just wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." Li Weimin looked at the shopkeeper's back, feeling a little nervous.Being under white terror for a long time made his nerves particularly sensitive, and he dared not have the slightest negligence.Did the shopkeeper go to the inner room to discuss with the boss in charge?Or report to the Japanese puppet secret service?He looked back at the clerks and customers, and there were no signs of abnormality, but he was still prepared to deal with possible changes at any time.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked towards Li Weimin with a smile on his face and took the medicine list: "I sold you the exact amount of potassium chlorate, but I can't specify it, and it can't be stated on the invoice..." "That's no problem," Li Weimin nodded and said, "We do the business ourselves, and I have the final say!" The medicines were quickly prepared. Potassium chlorate was mixed with other medicines and packed into boxes.The shopkeeper ordered the clerk to hire a cart, and Li Weimin paid the money, exchanged greetings with the shopkeeper for a while, and left the pharmacy.

After returning to his residence, Li Weimin repackaged the potassium chlorate.The next day, according to the pre-agreed time and place, he handed over the batch of "drugs" to the guerrilla traffic officer Zhang Shijiang. More than a month later, Zhang Shijiang brought exciting news that a Japanese train full of ammunition and military supplies was blown up by guerrillas near Maoer Mountain. In fact, the characters in "Harbin under the Night" are not only Wang Yimin's prototype. For example, Li Hanchao, Wang Yimin's comrade-in-arms mentioned in the book, is based on Li Shichao, the acting secretary-general of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee. Today, the "Old Site of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee" is His home back then.Unlike Li Weimin who was able to persevere until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this talented student who graduated from the Law Department of Chaoyang University was unfortunately arrested in August 1936 while in charge of the anti-enemy work in the Andong area, and died a heroic sacrifice for his unyielding determination."Xiao Li" who appeared with "Wang Yimin" in the list of "important cadres" of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee may be him. Looking at this yellowed enemy and puppet document again, for a moment, those brave, witty and determined Chinese seemed to be walking out of Harbin under the night, and walking in front of us today.
