Chapter 13 6. Released from prison on bail, wandering and living in poverty, hoped to return to the organization after liberation, but was wronged and imprisoned

In the Longyan Prison of the Kuomintang, Zhou Yuelin delivered Zhang Liang's next boy.In the extremely difficult environment, Zhou Yuelin assisted Zhang Liang to raise the child together, and survived two years of dire straits behind bars. After the July 7th Incident, the anti-Japanese climax came. On July 15, 1937, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached a cooperation agreement. In September, the Central News Agency of the Kuomintang published "The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Announces the Declaration on the Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party". The next day, Chiang Kai-shek made a speech recognizing the legal status of the Communist Party.Thus it was officially announced that the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formed.

At this time, someone suddenly released Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang on bail.It turned out that Liang Baitai had an elementary school classmate named Chen Shiming, who held an important position in the Kuomintang somewhere in western Fujian.At a banquet, he accidentally learned that Liang Baitai's wife was being imprisoned in Longyan Prison, so he sought out an acquaintance.At this time, at the repeated request of the Communist Party, the Kuomintang has begun to release political prisoners.In this way, on October 2, 1937, Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang were released early. When Zhou Yuelin was released from Longyan prison, her first thought was to find her husband.Zhang Liang walked with her on the same road with her children.

Thousands of miles away, they are like two birds out of the cage, anxious and anxious.From Fujian to Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province. This is a long-awaited home, and Liang Baitai married and returned to China. During their stay in Shanghai, the couple asked to visit the home, but they gave up because of organizational disagreement.Now, two years in prison, more than 600 days and nights of long-term thinking, as Liang Baitai's wife, she visited her in-law's house for the first time, hoping to hear from Liang Baitai, and even more hope to meet Baitai. Unexpectedly, the long-awaited return is approaching, but what he got from the strange in-law's family was bad news.Liang Xiaofen, the eldest sister of Liang Baitai, said in tears, "Baitai may have died." Zhou Yuelin's eyes darkened, and she passed out.

Zhang Liang gave birth to a son in prison, and the difficulties in raising and nurturing him can be imagined.After being released from prison, he didn't know where to go. The child was still young and needed someone to help and take care of him. Gu Pan hesitated and had to follow Zhou Yuelin all the way to Xinchang County.At Liang Baitai's home, Zhou Yuelin was always depressed when she heard the news of her husband's death.Zhang Liang sympathized with each other, and also tasted the infinite loss and sorrow. In the age of war, deaths often occurred, which intensified Zhang Liang's longing for Xiang Ying.

"One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood." After the Songhu battle, the Japanese invaders quickly spread to the south of the Yangtze River. Xinchang County was full of fleeing people, and fallen and smelly corpses could be seen everywhere on the road.At this time, when going on the road, dangers are predictable, and life and death are uncertain, but it is useless to wait. The idea of ​​finding a husband and finding an organization finally gained the upper hand. After discussion, Zhang Liang and Zhou Yuelin desperately left Xinchang and ventured to find Xiang Ying.Unexpectedly, there was a battle on the way, and the fleeing crowd rushed from left to right and scattered the two of them.

Zhang Liang endured hunger and hunger, and defied hardships. In the spring of 1938, he took his two-year-old son Xiang Xuecheng alone to Nanchang, the location of the Southeastern Branch of the Communist Party of China and the headquarters of the New Fourth Army.Xiang Ying was found.However, the first news she heard was that Xiang Ying had married another wife.During the long-distance wandering, Zhang Liang was skinny and out of shape. She was dusty and tearful, crying to Xiang Ying about the suffering of parting.Because Xiang Ying had already married another wife, although his heart was pierced, it was difficult to show intimacy. The situation at that time was a bit embarrassing.In order to adjust the atmosphere and prevent accidents, the organization specially sent Zeng Shan to accompany him to mediate.Li Yimang, secretary-general of the New Fourth Army, and guards were waiting outside.Xiang Ying's remarriage dealt a great blow to Zhang Liang, but he had no choice but to face the reality.According to their agreement, Zhang Liang sent his son Xiang Xuecheng to Yan'an Central Nursery to be raised.Unexpectedly, on the way back to southern Anhui from Yan'an, Zhang Liang disappeared and has not been heard from since.

Regarding Zhang Liang's death, Xiang Ying's daughter Xiang Suyun once refuted the rumors to the author, saying: "Someone wrote an article out of imagination, saying that the mother who was released from prison came to her father, and before she put down her luggage, she was scolded by her father: "Qu Qiubai's Did you and Zhou Yuelin do the death.' Seeing my mother was nervous, she thought she had admitted it, so she pulled out a gun and shot her to death. This is a complete rumor, and it is still spread in newspapers and on the Internet." 1938 Central Committee of the Communist Party of China The Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee was held. When Xiang Ying came to Yan'an, she reunited with her son and daughter Xiang Suyun and son Xiang Xuecheng who had never met before.These two children were both born to Zhang Liang. In late November 1930, Xiang Ying was escorted by the traffic officers of the central government, and set off from Shanghai to Fujian, and transferred to the Jiangxi Central Soviet Area.Zhang Liang, who was several months pregnant, gave birth to her daughter in Shanghai four months later, that is, in March 1931, and also went to the Central Soviet Area.She entrusted her daughter to the orphanage run by educator Tao Xingzhi in the British Concession—Shanghai Labor Kindergarten.To avoid suspicion, Mr. Tao named him Zhang Suyun.It is said that she is a cloud floating in the sky of Jiangsu.Later, the Kuomintang said that the orphanage always accepted children from the Communist Party and forcibly closed it down.Tao Xingzhi sent Su Yun to Xin'an Primary School he founded in Huai'an.The Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, and she was sent to Yan'an in early 1938.When meeting with Xiang Ying, Xiang Suyun was only 7 years old and was in the first grade of Lu Xun Primary School in Yan'an.Xiang Xuecheng was only 3 years old. He was in Longyan Prison in Fujian Province in 1935, and Zhou Yuelin helped deliver the baby.

Xiang Ying was very happy to meet her son and daughter who had been separated for many years, and devoted every minute after work to her children.I personally wash their hands and feet, dress them, accompany them when I have time, ask questions, and take good care of them.This time, the reunion of father and son took only 12 days, and Xiang Ying devoted all his father's love to the child in those 12 days.Meanwhile, international friend Ma Haide happened to come to the guest house of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. He was very moved to see the family relationship between Xiang Ying and the children. He immediately took out his camera and took a photo of the reunion of Xiang Ying and the two children. This is their father and son. The only precious photo among them.At that time, during the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, Xiang Ying happily presented this precious photo to several close comrades-in-arms. Decades later, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao passed on this photo they treasured to Xiang Su cloud.

In 1948, Xiang Suyun was sent to study in the Soviet Union. There were 21 people in the same batch.They are the children of revolutionary martyrs and central leaders.Among them are Zou Jiahua, the son of Zou Taofen, Ye Zhengda and Ye Zhengming, the sons of Ye Ting, Xiao Yongding, the son of Xiao Jinguang, Gao Yi, the son of Gao Gang, Lin Hanxiong, the son of Zhang Hao, Ye Chumei, the daughter of Ye Jianying, and Li Peng, the son of Li Shuoxun.After returning to China, Xiang Suyun worked in the textile department and retired from the China Association for Science and Technology in 1991.Xiang Xuecheng worked in the Beihai Fleet after the founding of the People's Republic of China and died in 1974.

At the end of despair, a spiritual power quietly revived.Zhou Yuelin, who had been separated from Zhang Liang, was on the road again alone. She wanted to find the party and the comrades-in-arms who had been with her day and night.Transferred from Shanghai to Wuhan, and came to the Eighth Route Army Office in Wuhan.The personnel in the office want a letter of introduction. Where can I get a letter of introduction when she comes out of prison.What organization do you look for without a letter of introduction?Zhou Yuelin lingered for several days to no avail, so she had to return to Shanghai, where she had been away for many years.Unexpectedly, his parents have passed away long ago, Shanghai has become an isolated island, and it is even more difficult to find party organizations.In order to make a living, Zhou Yuelin became a partner with a poor boatman through matching.Since then, she has been displaced, poor and sick, and tortured in misery.

In the moment of relaxation, remembering the dead husband, Moscow, Shanghai, the Communist International... The world of the dead is a reflection of the world of the living.She was only 31 years old that year, her husband was gone, and her three children were still alive.In the white terror, her son Xiao Shazhou stayed in Ruijin.In order to protect Xiaoshazhou, the female cadre left her home, carried Xiaoshazhou on her back day and night, and moved around, but was still captured by the "home return group" and put in prison.Under many tortures and abuses, Xiao Shazhou unfortunately fell ill and died young. The distant Moscow, like the interstellar, is beyond reach.My "Mars", Wei Lie, where are you? Waiting to see, there is always news, but there is always no conclusive news.The Chinese students studying in the Moscow International Children's Academy gradually grew up and returned to China one after another. Guo Zhicheng, the son of martyr Guo Liang, recalled: "From 1940 to 1941, we all studied and lived together in the International Children's Institute. She is in a children's home, but we classmates don't remember exactly which year she left. Even the classmates who stayed in the Soviet Union and were close to Iskra don't know her specific address and don't correspond with her. We The classmates don't even know that she has a younger brother..." Qu Qiubai’s daughter, Qu Duyi, has a similar recollection: “I don’t know about Iskra at present. I knew her when I was in the Soviet International Children’s Institute. I haven’t heard from her since I returned to China (1941). , As for her younger brother Wei Lie, I don’t have any impression in my memory..." Longing and pain caused Zhou Yuelin to fall into a boundless abyss. With the founding of New China, a spark finally lit up in Zhou Yuelin's heart.She learned from the newspaper that many of her former acquaintances have successively assumed leadership positions.Her introduction to the party, Zhang Qinqiu, became the first female party member deputy minister in the Central People's Government-the deputy minister of the Ministry of Textile Industry.Therefore, Zhou Yuelin reached out to Zhang Qinqiu and Liu Changsheng, chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, for help, asking them to help restore organizational relations. The help of old acquaintances is slowly progressing, and a new round of hope is slowly rising.However, the leak in the house coincided with continuous rain, and another thunderbolt from the blue sky. She wanted to become a normal person, but instead became a prisoner. On June 18, 1955, the 20th anniversary of Qu Qiubai's death, the burial ceremony for his remains was held in Babaoshan Cemetery.The topic of Qu Qiubai's capture and sacrifice was brought up again.Qu Qiubai's wife, Yang Zhihua, demanded that the culprit who betrayed Qu Qiubai be arrested.But who is the culprit?Captured together with Qu Qiubai, why were Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang not killed? In the midst of the anti-revolutionary movement, one climax followed another. On August 24, 1955, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau was ordered to arrest Zhou Yuelin. On the 28th, she was escorted to Beijing and imprisoned in Gongdelin Prison outside Deshengmen. . The case was delayed for 10 years due to lack of evidence. In December 1965, the Beijing Intermediate People's Court made a criminal judgment and sentenced Zhou Yuelin to 12 years in prison for the crime of "betraying the party leader".Zhou Yuelin was sent to a labor camp in the suburbs of Beijing to serve his sentence. In October 1969, Zhou Yuelin was sent to Yuci City Women's Prison in Shanxi Province. From then on, based on this unjust case, some books and periodicals described it extensively: In the "Qu Qiubai" case, Zhang Liang surrendered himself as a traitor, and Zhou Yuelin may have echoed Zhang Liang's traitor, and to echo the traitor is to betray... Immediately, Even Qu Qiubai himself, who was buried under the Nine Springs, has been regarded as a "traitor" for a long time. The fire of life continues flickering and flickering. In December 1977, Zhou Yuelin was supposed to be released after serving her sentence. However, due to the "heavy crime", she continued to be imprisoned.Aged and frail, she bears the burden of humiliation, lingers on her last breath, has experienced too much sorrow in life, and is still alive, but she still has to struggle and cry for grievances.In Shanxi Yuci City Women's Prison, she was crazy and foolish, and her nerves seemed to be a little out of order. She wrote some notes over and over again, tore them up, tore them up and wrote them again... One day, a very responsible prison director picked up some scraps of paper from her side. He felt that this "female prisoner" had grievances. He asked Zhou Yuelin to write another detailed material. In August 1979, Zhou Yuelin proposed again at the labor camp appeal.The head of the prison responsibly passed it on to his superiors. The case involved the betrayal of Qu Qiubai, which lasted for decades, and the circumstances of the case were very serious.Relevant departments carefully check.As a result, in the newspapers of the Kuomintang at that time, a report was found that "the wife of the secretary of the Red Communist Party of Fujian Province surrendered and confessed the identity of Qu Qiubai, the leader of the bandit".This discovery, combined with the secret identification materials of Zheng Dapeng recently obtained by the party history department, formed strong evidence that Qu Qiubai was betrayed by someone, thus overturning the original theory that "Zhang Liang and Zhou Yuelin betrayed Qu Qiubai". The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party brought spring breeze to Zhou Yuelin. On November 15, 1979, he was finally rehabilitated by the Beijing Higher People's Court.Retrial verdict: rescind the original judgment, acquitted, and rehabilitated.Zhou Yuelin spent 25 years of unjust imprisonment, plus two and a half years in the Kuomintang prison, living in prison for a total of about 27 years.At that time, Zhou Yuelin was 73 years old. After Zhou Yuelin was released from prison, in 1980, the Organization Department of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee implemented a policy for Zhou Yuelin to enjoy the treatment of retired Red Army cadres according to his participation in the revolution in 1925.According to her own wishes, she was placed to settle in Xinchang, Liang Baitai's hometown. Sitting in the small courtyard and basking in the sun, facing the green mountains and blue sky, you can see the endless changes of white clouds and cang dogs.This former Minister of Women of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area, the most dazzling actress in the Central Soviet Area, this woman who has been in prison for 27 years, although she has no desire to argue about the fantastic world, she still has feelings for it. At the end of 1997, Zhou Yuelin passed away peacefully at the age of 91.
