Chapter 45 The third bullet passed through the head

Since, as Xia Ji'an said, anyone who participates in an anti-government parade can win the name of a "warrior" or a higher-level "martyr" under the grenade, and people who believe that Er Cao's body and name will not be destroyed will take the risk, Give it a go.In this way, the anti-government side and the government-supporting side began to fight with each other in Kunming, the spring city, in the bright spring of 1946, when "colorful flowers bloomed everywhere".Both sides of the duel were riding clouds and fog, with sword energy like a rainbow. After thirty rounds and sixty heavy hands, the fight was indistinguishable.Such endless fighting has made the party who supports the government in name, but in fact has ulterior motives and seeks self-interest extremely annoying, and decided to increase the intensity of the "fight" and seal the throat with a sword.As a result, a series of assassination lists were quietly listed, and a passage between heaven and hell burst open, waiting for the real "fighter" to rush forward.But at this time, Wen Yiduo, who became more and more courageous in fighting and fighting, and regarded death as home, did not take the opponent seriously, let alone feared the assassination blacklist that had been made, and used his usual heroic spirit and blood to kill He came rushing, unexpectedly stepped into the gate of hell in one step.

On June 25, 1946, that is, 20 days before Wen Yiduo went to the ghost gate, Mei Yiqi and Zhu Jiahua went to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Nanjing to report on the demobilization of the United Nations General Assembly.Facing Chiang Kai-shek's inquiry, Mei responded in a calm manner according to her own thinking and speculation. This was a crucial "monarch-minister relationship" between Chiang and Mei before Wen Yiduo's death.Mei made a more detailed record of this conversation in her diary. This record is very important and of great value to researchers of "Wen Yiduo's Assassination Mystery".Mei's day records that the sky was clear and hot that day. According to the agreement, Mei and Zhu Jiahua drove to Chiang Kai-shek's mansion at 5 pm.After the two sat in the outer living room for a few minutes, he was allowed to enter the inner room when he came out.I saw:

The chairman is wearing a blue gown, quite relaxed.About halfway through the conversation, the first report went to Peiping for a few days to check the situation of the school building, and asked: What is the plan for resuming the school?A: We are currently rushing to complete various departments, and tentatively scheduled to start school on Double Tenth.Q: Can teachers and students arrive?A: I hope most of them will be able to reach Pingding by then.Q: What will be the school plan next year?Answer: We should still pay attention to the restoration of the academic research atmosphere. If the professors live in a stable life and have sufficient research equipment, the research work will make more progress. Then I mentioned that a few of the professors in Tsinghua University recently made inappropriate remarks and actions, but most colleagues deeply disagreed. , In the future, colleagues will persuade and correct each other, so that it will not have much (bad) impact.Zhu Nai mentioned the declaration of more than a hundred people about the Northeast incident as evidence.Zhu also said that he had discussed the changes in the candidates for the head of the professor (the original text—editor) and the head of the department, so that the main responsible person should be a moderate person.Up to this point, it is said that these people have made quite a lot of academic achievements in the past, and their recent actions should be a temporary impulse, so I hope that they can be persuaded to make them realize themselves, and the later results will be better.The other party seemed to nod his head.Yu Ji said that there may be another reason for this number of people, that is, their family members are many or they have patients from time to time, and their lives are very difficult, and they don't want to follow others' behavior and work outside, so depression accumulates in their chests, once vented, anger bigger.The master nodded and said, life issues are really important.Zhu Yin took the opportunity to raise the issue of teachers' remuneration and funding should be increased.Yu asked: Is there any problem with the situation in the north in the chairman's view?A: We cannot say for sure, or that there will be no major problems.When he spoke, he smiled pleasantly, and he might laugh at Yu Zhizhi, so Yu Yizhi asked about it.Proceed to the pastry with almond milk.Zhu also reported on the matter of the head of a certain province.When I resigned, I sent it to the door, which seemed very polite.

Mei Yiqi is not a writer, but this account is quite essential, the voices and smiles of the subject and the guest are vivid on the paper, and reading it is like being there.According to Mei Yiqi’s point of view, the reason why Wen Yiduo, Wu Han and others became “fighters” was that they were forced to live in poverty. Literati, what they want is to make a small name in the world and earn enough food and clothing in life. In other words, if the school returns to the north and the salary of the professors is improved, the anger accumulated in the chest will not be vented, and the top and bottom will be settled, and they will naturally become docile, and all problems will be solved.It was just beyond his expectation that after only 20 days, Wen Yiduo fell to the ground with a slam, bleeding on the street.

On July 11, 1946, the last batch of students from Southwest Associated University left Kunming by car. The only ones who did not travel were the faculty members and left-behind staff who were waiting to return to the north.That night, Li Gongpu, a key member of the Kunming branch of the NLD who was engaged in underground activities under the cover of opening a bookstore at the north gate of Kunming, was shot and killed by unknown persons while he was out.Once Li died, Wen Yiduo, a comrade in the same trench as Li, could not take the opportunity to go north with his family because of sympathy and saving face. He had to finish Li Gongpu's funeral before he could leave Kunming.At that time, it was rumored in Kunming that the next person to be assassinated was Wen Yiduo, but the matter had come to this point, and Wen Yiduo became a lonely knight who could not return to his horse and could only go forward desperately.

On the afternoon of July 15th, Wen Yiduo took the courage to attend the report meeting on Li's life and deeds held by the Li Gongpu Funeral Committee in Yundazhigongtang, and delivered the later famous "Last Speech" to the secret agents who assassinated Li Gongpu. He was reprimanded by the troublemakers at the scene. When Wen Yiduo talked about the excitement, he said impassionedly: "Today, are there any spies here! You stand up, you are a hero! You come out and speak out! Why do you want to kill Mr. Li? ( Stern voice, warm applause) killed someone, but dare not admit it, and still slanders people, talking about 'peachy case', saying 'the Communist Party killed the Communist Party', shameless! (warm applause) This is the shamelessness of a certain group It is the honor of Mr. Li! Mr. Li was assassinated in Kunming, which is the honor left by Mr. Li to Kunming! It is also the honor of Kunming people!" After the meeting, Wen and Chu Tunan came to the Democratic League at No. The affiliated Democracy Weekly hosted a press conference.When the meeting was about to end, Wen Yiduo's eldest son, Wen Lihe, came to greet him specially to prevent accidents.After the meeting, Wen Yiduo had another conversation with Chu Tunan, Shang Yue and others.At this time, Wen Yiduo and his colleagues seemed to feel a strange smell in the air, and an ominous premonition enveloped everyone's hearts. In order to prevent the spies from committing crimes, they would kill several people at once. Weekly Press.Wen Yiduo waited for Chu Tunan to walk out for five or six minutes before he and his son Wen Lihe walked out of the gate and ran towards the Xicangpo dormitory.About ten meters away from home, four burly men suddenly jumped out from the corner of the alley, shouting and stopping.As soon as Wen Yiduo and his son stood still, before they could speak, a bullet flew towards Wen Yiduo's head and Wen Yiduo stood up.Wen Lihe saw his father's brain burst and fell to the ground, so he immediately went forward to cover him.Following several bullets, Wen Lihe was shot and fell into a pool of blood.

When Wen Yiduo fell down, the shooter said softly, "Hmph, let's see if you're still showing off!" When Wen Lihe fell to the ground, the shooter said: "Okay, keep this kind and avenge his father in the future!" After finishing speaking, the four men turned around a bend in Xicangpo and drove away in a military jeep. Regarding this bloody scene, Gao Xiaozhen, wife of Wen Yiduo, recalled: "After 5 o'clock, there was a burst of gunshots, and the gunshots were nearby. My heart suddenly exploded, and I realized that what I was most worried about had happened. , ran desperately towards the gate... I saw Yiduo, father and son lying in a pool of blood, one vertically and the other lying in a pool of blood. Pale, with large pools of blood still flowing, and white brains in the blood. His eyes were closed tightly, and his lips were slightly opened. I hugged his head and called him desperately, but his complexion has changed. It gradually turned black, and the lips also gradually turned black. I struggled to look at Lihe again. He was covered in blood, staring at two big eyes full of hatred. I just felt dizzy and couldn't see anything. gone."

Wen Yiduo died on the spot after being shot.Fortunately in the misfortune, his son Wen Lihe, who was shot several times, finally survived after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment for three days. With the tragic assassination of Wen Yiduo, who had "unfinished talent through the ages", public opinion at home and abroad was in an uproar, some complaining about injustice, some cleaning up the government, or fabricating stories to exaggerate the disorder of the political situation.The leader of the Democratic League in Chongqing, Liang Shuming, and others issued a call to arrest the murderer and punish the murderer.The CCP responded from afar, and Mao Zedong and other CCP leaders in Yan'an personally sent condolences to Wen Yiduo's wife Gao Xiaozhen.All of a sudden, many groups or individuals raised donations to comfort the orphans of fighters, and coquettish people who belonged to party groups wrote poems and chanted their hearts after hearing about many of them.Its voice spread far and wide, and its momentum was turbulent. All the professors who died and died during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War were unmatched.

In addition to some political groups and politicians, on July 23, five people including Hu Shi, Sa Bendong, Li Ji, Liang Sicheng, and Fu Sinian jointly sent a telegram of condolence to Gao Xiaozhen. Condolences. Si Nian has asked the government authorities to severely arrest the murderer, find out the circumstances of the case, and punish him according to the law." Yun Yun. Obviously, this telegram draft was drafted by Fu Sinian alone, and the other four were just using false names.The reason why Fu included the first few honorable names together may be to allow them to represent Peking University, Academia Sinica, Central Museum, China Construction Society and other institutions to make a big impact.As a member of the UNGA Standing Committee and the "superior" chief of these institutions, he was included in it to demonstrate his abnormal political status of being "non-official and not academic", and his prestige in the academic circle. political background.No matter what Fu Sinian's feelings are in his heart, whether he is willing to shed tears of sympathy for the "Bolsheviks" and "fighters" he has always despised and disgusted, whether it is a cat crying mouse, or a mouse crying cat drama, but at this time as an actual Fu Sinian, the former member of the Standing Committee of the Southwest Associated University, whose name has not survived, sent this message of condolence in conjunction with several academic figures at the right time.

According to available information, Fu Sinian was in Beiping when he sent this telegram, and Sa Bendong, Li Ji and others in Chongqing and Nanxi Lizhuang in Sichuan Province were far away.But what is certain is that without relying on special communication facilities and means, Hu Shi in the telegram would not have known about the incident and that Fu Sinian wanted to send this telegram.At this time, Hu Shi was sailing in the vast sea on an American ocean liner, and he had to land at Wusongkou in Shanghai in the afternoon of the next day.Fu Sinian is likely to use the domineering and brotherly loyalty of the "Taishang" principal of Peking University, and put Hu Shi's name at the top of the list. Another thing he's smart about.

What the world sees is that with the appearance of Hu Shi in mainland China, Wen Yiduo, his identity as a "fighter" and what the name of "fighting" is, etc., will soon be submerged in the huge shadow of Hu Shi after a while of uproar There is no sound in the political vortex with ups and downs.The excitement of the general public is attracted by the new round of political struggle, while the focus of the entire academic circle is cast on Hu Shi, Fu Sinian and others who determine the future of China's education and academics.
