After the recovery of Taiwan, party member, an old communist of Taiwan Province in the Japanese occupation era, became active. Celebrities such as Lin Rigao, Pan, Xiao, Wang Wande, Xie and Chen organized the Youth League of the Three People's Principles, hoping to unite Taiwan Province youth in a legal way. Xie E and Lin Rigao advised me to join Tang and Li Cangjiang (nephew of Li Youbang). Tang and I immediately joined the social service unit (group), with Chen as the director, the trust secretary, Lin Rigao as the head of the organization and Chen as the head of the women's unit.
1946 65438+February 14 Taipei's solidarity with Shibuya is a precursor to the 1947 February 28th incident. In this incident, Chen Bingji wrote a Japanese propaganda draft (the Chinese version was written by the new head Zhuang) to mobilize college students. I am responsible for mobilizing middle school students, the Youth League Committee, presiding over the conference, leading the parade and supporting activities all day. In the meantime, we contacted Jiang Weichuan and asked him to support printing paper. Afterwards, we learned that Jiang's purpose was to gain his political capital. Zhang Mutao, commander of the Kuomintang Gendarmerie, also ambushed at the event to find out the truth. Later, Li Youbang told us that Zhang was going to arrest us, so I took advantage of my eldest brother Liu's business relationship and went to Shanghai to hide alone.
I met Wu Ketai in the capital of Taiwan Province. At that time, Wu had joined the underground party in Taiwan Province Province and should report to the general manager of the underground party in Taiwan Province Province (real name Cai Gan, generation name Chen) about the activists of our party. Soon, I met Cai Xiaoqian under the arrangement of Wu Ketai and joined the underground party of Qiangba. When I joined the party, I kept my promise verbally and didn't sign any written documents. In the underground party, I kept a single-line contact with Cai Xiaoqian as an individual businessman, and was responsible for the contact between the underground party in Taiwan Province and the East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China, including the transfer of files and the allocation of activities funds. Later, Lai Fa (a soldier of the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party of China) helped me contact Cai.
1947 winter, let me contact Liao in Hong Kong. At that time, Liao, Pan, Xiao and others held classes in Hong Kong. Tian Jintian, Lu Zhede and other underground party member also studied there. At that time, Liao had openly engaged in Taiwan independence, and he needed someone to help him sneak into Japan. Liao asked my cousin Liu to find a smuggling boat (Liu was an underground party and joined, and his profession was a reporter). Liu told me about it, and I told him that Cai asked me to pretend to be Liao's chief of staff in Taiwan Province, and asked people in Chen Zui to contact Liao, saying that the armed forces needed funds and asked him to support them. But Liao only gave me a little money, so I went back to Taiwan Province Province. Later, I heard that Liao found a man named to help me with smuggling, and Song was also an underground party member.
1948, my second brother Liu Yinglie and I opened a Jinsha mine in Hualien. Prior to this, I was appointed by the organization to take some Taiwan Province mountain people from Shanghai (who were taken to the mainland by the Kuomintang as soldiers) back to Taiwan Province Province. After I returned to Taiwan Province Province, Chen Bingji and Tian Jintian came to see me, saying that they had exposed their identities and asked me to help them hide. I can't ask them to contact Cai, but I can't help them in an emergency. So, I proposed to Cai Xiaogan to use the abandoned Jinsha mine in Hualien to hide my comrades. Cai agreed with this idea, and said that in the future, it could be used as a base for comrades who can't engage in public activities to hide as workers, and also to wait for an opportunity to carry out the work of mountain people, killing two birds with one stone. So, Liu Yinglie and his friends and I invested in the mine, and I served as the manager. The party organization work in Jinsha Mine is presided over by Li Cangjiang, nephew of Li Youbang. This incident was exposed after Tian Jintian was arrested in September. 1954. Some comrades were arrested and others died.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/949, Cai Yunzhun, Liu Yingde (my fourth brother) and Wu Jing introduced me to join the party. Under the supervision of Guo Xiuzong (then director of the Taipei Municipal Health Bureau, secretary of the underground party Committee, graduated from National Taiwan University and died later), a three-person special team was set up to open a Sanrong trading firm in Keelung as a cover (Liu was in charge of the operation, Wu was an assistant, and I was in charge of confidentiality). Liu Yingde and Wu are familiar with the smuggling routes from Keelung, Japan to Okinawa and shenjiamen, Zhoushan. They have good interpersonal relationships and know some Kuomintang (military) people.
1949 After the liberation of Shanghai in August, Cai Xiaoqian asked me to come to the mainland to accept the task. I took Wu as a canner and took a fishing boat to Zhoushan, where I was facing the attack of the People's Liberation Army. When disembarking at shenjiamen Port, the inspectors inspected every passenger and their luggage in detail. The situation is very tense, and the documents I wrote with potions, pretending to be cardboard boxes for packaging snacks, are looming in the sun. In desperation, I turned to the businessman next to me for help. I took the initiative to open the wrapping paper for the inspectors to see, and saved the day. When we arrived in Zhoushan, we were more cautious. Some smugglers told us that canned pineapples sell best in Shanghai. We followed their advice and arrived in Shanghai by fishing boat with canned food from Taiwan Province Province. Although the situation was very chaotic at that time and pirates often attacked me at sea, I passed many documents and instructions between the mainland and Taiwan Province Province in this way. I also told Cai Xiaogan that if the situation is dangerous, we can use this smuggling route to leave Taiwan Province Province.
At this time, Cai asked me to come to the mainland and ask the organization for money, boats and weapons. I met Liu Xiao in Shanghai (the leaders of the East China Bureau are Rao Shushi and Ceng Shan), and I first met Su Xin at a meeting of the East China Bureau. When I left Taiwan Province Province, Cai specially reminded me not to meet the Japanese again, so as not to be exposed, but Shanghai was liberated at that time, which made me feel very strange, so I went to my original contact (a native of Taiwan Province Province, a member of the Taiwan Cultural Association during the Japanese occupation, and also a contact between the East China Bureau and the underground party in Taiwan Province Province). At the request of Cai Xiaoqian, the organization gave me $20,000 for the activities of the underground party in Taiwan Province Province. Twenty thousand dollars was not a small sum at that time, but it was too little for the activities of the underground party in Taiwan Province Province. Cai was very dissatisfied with this later. As for other requirements, Liu Xiao said that he could not decide. We went to Beijing together and waited for instructions. A few days later, I went to the current Beijing Hotel and received instructions: the liberation of Fujian made the liberation of Taiwan Province Province possible; The task of the underground party in Taiwan Province Province is to protect state property from losses and maintain social order. After liberation, the politics of Taiwan Province Province will mainly be presided over by comrades going to the mainland. Perhaps the authorities did not mention the last item at the briefing the next day because they thought it was inappropriate afterwards. After leaving Beijing, I went to Tianjin to find Pan Hannian, who sent me aboard and returned to Taiwan Province Province via Hongkong. I told Cai from the beginning to the end that Cai participated in the Long March (Minister of Interior) and was a cadre in Yan 'an, so he was definitely not satisfied.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/950, Cai Xiaoqian asked Lin Qiuxing, nicknamed "American Forest" (who looks like a westerner), to take the chart obtained by Liu Yingde to Hong Kong and give it to the organization. Cai refused to let me carry out this task, because the wind was too tight, and Lin's relatives were gendarmes, who would protect Lin from getting on the boat. As a result, Lin was betrayed by his relatives and was arrested as soon as he arrived at the dock. The news soon reached the ears of Cai Xiaogan. Cai immediately told Guo Xiuzong and Lin's contact information, told him to flee quickly, and told me to go to Hong Kong quickly and come back when I was free, otherwise I would go to the liberated areas to find an organization. I found the leader of this organization, Wan He and Lin of Taiwan Province (also an underground party). I lived in Hongkong for a month and asked me to write a letter to my wife and give it to Cai Xiaoqian. The content is to introduce Zhu Zhanzhi to him. The purpose is to contact Wu Shi, the second minister of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense. I hope the underground party can have a support in the future, such as seizing weapons and ammunition. Shortly after the letter was sent, Wan told me that something had happened to the underground party in Taiwan Province Province. Later, I learned that Zhang Zhizhong, the second-in-command of the underground party, was arrested (Zhang was a great man and later died). Zhang Zhizhong was arrested, and Hong Kong organizations soon knew about it, but people in Cai Xiaoqian, Taiwan Province didn't know about it. He also asked Zeng Laifa to find Zhang Zhizhong. Zeng Laifa was immediately arrested with the money I brought back from Shanghai. Zhu Zhanzhi is a mainlander. After contacting Wu Shi, she returned to Shanghai via Zhoushan, but was arrested in Zhoushan. She tried to kill herself, but failed, and then she died. The reference news (editions 10 and10 in 2005) once published the touching story of Zhu Zhanzhi's daughter in Nanjing and Mr. Xu Zongmao of Taiwan Province Province looking for ashes in Wan Li.
With the collapse of the underground party, Wu Shi and his associates defected, and all seven lieutenants who were preparing for the uprising were shot. Wan told me to go back to Taiwan Province Province and take me out of Taiwan Province within ten days. Wan said that no one can finish this dangerous task except me. At that time, the Hong Kong Party organization had a list of underground party organizations and members that the Kuomintang secret service was going to deal with. I memorized the list in my mind in Taiwan Province Province.
As soon as I returned to Taiwan Province, I contacted Cai Xiaogan and told him that the Kuomintang secret service had to deal with underground party organizations and members. Cai told me to leave Taiwan Province, and I also prepared a hidden place for Cai. Huang Cai is a friend of my brother Liu Yingde, who runs a timber business on the Tamsui River in Taipei. I think it's quite hidden, extending in all directions, and it's best to escape if there are circumstances. Cai put his personal clothes there, but he didn't live there, but hid everywhere. I also found a good smuggling boat through He Rongquan (graduated from Waseda University and lived in Luodong). Everything is ready, but I can't wait for Cai on the day I leave. It was later learned that he had been arrested [note 1]. Cai was arrested because he asked his sister-in-law to find Wu Shi's wife and tried to leave Taiwan Province Province. The spy suspected that Wu Shi's wife had contact with this young woman, which exposed the whole thing. At that time, I felt that the situation was wrong. There were many spies at the seaside, so I went to Shuanglian Street near Huanhuan with my wife to find Liu Yingde's friend Xie Xinjie. I estimate that Xie Cai joined the party soon, and even if Cai is arrested, there should be no immediate danger. I don't know. As soon as my wife entered the room, she saw a spy waiting. Xie himself is not here, but Xie's wife is. I pretend I don't understand Beijing dialect, and I have to thank my wife for translating. The spy pointed a gun at me, so we had to sit on the bed in the room honestly. When the spy saw my ID card, he knew that I was the one they wanted, and loaded the pistol at once. I told my wife in Japanese that whenever something happened, she would open the door and the spy would reprimand us for not talking. After a while, I said I was thirsty. While my wife was carrying water to block the spy's sight, I pressed the spy to the ground in one breath and made a dash for the door. As I ran, I listened to the screams of my wife being beaten. I ran into a crowded alley, and when I saw someone, I said that someone was trying to kill me.
Finally, I went to the home of a friend who is also an underground party, Fu Laihui (a classmate of Taipei Industrial School). His mother told me to hide under the bed and deliberately ran to the street ditch outside the house, pretending to wash clothes. When the spy caught up with them, she told them that a man had just passed by, but he had gone elsewhere. In this way, I escaped the spy. The next day, with the help of my sister, I borrowed the clothes of a miner, dressed as a miner, and went to Ruifang by train. I found my father's good friend Huang Haishu. With his help, I found my mother's distant nephew Su. He took me to a hut near Yuemeishan cemetery and hid. A few days later, I learned that Liu Yingde, Wu, Tian Jintian and Wu Jintang (Liu Yingde's classmate, who later joined the party) were also at large and had nowhere to hide. I found them through my sister and relied on the protection of the Su family. After that, I learned that my wife was arrested and my eldest brother Liu's whole family was locked up.
Soon, with the help of my sister, I got in touch with Lin in Hong Kong by telegraph code. I said that I was farming on the hill of his alma mater in Taipei, and Mr. Chen was in hospital. Someone went to the hospital to see him, suggesting that I was hiding in Beishan. Cai Xiaoqian was arrested, and some comrades were also arrested. Lin replied that Taiwan Province Province would be liberated soon. Later, I felt that I would be caught sooner or later, and I would even bring trouble to others, so I secretly contacted my father and begged his old man to find a way to get me some green acid Gary (that is, potassium cyanide) poison, thinking that I would commit suicide then. Father nodded silently, but poison never came to me!
My underground friends and I hid in the barren hills near Ruifang Four-legged Pavilion for four and a half years. Not to mention all the dangers and hardships we have experienced. 1950 The Korean War broke out, and the whole situation disappointed everyone. On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, Wu Jintang said that his wife had no choice but to beg with her children and wanted to go down the mountain to see her family. I don't know. He went down the hill and turned himself in. When I was hiding in the mountains, my brother Liu contacted me. After Wu Jintang surrendered, my parents, wife and Liu were arrested, but my family never told me where I was hiding. The secret service called my father and brother, advised me to go down the mountain, and threatened them that if I didn't go down the mountain, the whole family would suffer. Later, I went to Banqiao to ask Lin Rigao what to do. After the 228 incident, I have had many contacts with him, and I think he is still trustworthy. At that time, he was still a senator I didn't know he was an underground party until I returned to the mainland. He later died in the 1950 s) Lin rigao told me that he could guarantee the safety of my family and told me to keep running, so that the secret service, the military and the people of China could compete for each other's merits. I'll come out again when the time is right. A few days later, Keelung imposed martial law and the situation was tense. Lin Rigao took me to see Jiang Weichuan (then Minister of Interior of Taiwan Province Province, actually responsible for reunification). I didn't expect to be caught just after I arrived.
After I was arrested, I said that as long as my family was released, I didn't care about being killed and bombed. Guo Weifang, a subordinate of Yu Xunchu, chairman of the Central Committee, told me that they were going to let me go back to the mainland to be a spy. Guo was an underground party and surrendered himself after being arrested, but he was always contradictory and unwilling. He told me that if it were him, he would leave Taiwan Province and save the mainland. So I decided to outsmart these spies. I have explained my anti-Chiang and anti-Kuomintang thoughts and understanding process, but what I said has nothing to do with party secrets and has not betrayed my comrades. After more than a year's delay, the Secret Service is going to let me out and break into some Taiwan independence gangs. They said that there were * * * suspects in the gang, and asked me to break into the interior, take advantage of the opportunity, leave Taiwan Province Province with them, or go to Hong Kong and Japan, and then wait for an opportunity to do intelligence work in the mainland. I said I was exposed, and everyone knew about me. I can't do it. Later, they planned to let me come to the mainland to do intelligence work. I think they want to be impeded, and they want to kill me with a knife. My brother Yingde also said that it was not good for me to come to the mainland, and the organization would not believe me. But it suddenly occurred to me that I may be the last member of the underground party arrested, and I have the responsibility to report to the organization the whole process of Cai Xiaoqian's arrest and the destruction of the underground party. Besides, I was arrested for being betrayed. I have never betrayed any comrades and social relations, and I have never said anything that only Cai and I know. These may not matter to the organization, but to me, they are big things. I think without the liberation of Taiwan Province Province, there would be nothing for Liu. Even if I return to the mainland, I will be wronged and even sacrifice my life. I have no regrets.
In this way, when I arrived in Hong Kong, as soon as I got out of the dock, I threw the secret potion that Xun Yu, the spy chief of Taiwan Province, gave me into the sea, and soon got in touch with the organization (the head was Chen Jinshi, the boss of Dachunxing). It used to be the place where the activities of Liehelin in party member were reported. Through the introduction of Chen Jinshi and the arrangement of Yemou sent by the Ministry of Public Security, I arrived in Beijing via Guangzhou. This is 1956. When I arrived in Beijing, I wrote tens of thousands of words to explain the whole process. I should say, he was in Taiwan Province Province for the longest time and was finally arrested in the underground party member.
In the next 22 years, I worked and labored in Qinghe Farm in the suburbs of Beijing. I don't care about physical hardship, but mental pain almost suffocates me. During the Cultural Revolution, I suffered some hardships, but this has nothing to do with my experience in the underground party in Taiwan Province Province. My party membership has always been retained. After the Cultural Revolution, I was rehabilitated. During 1980, I contacted my family in Taiwan Province province. They think I must have rights and status in Beijing. I told them I had nothing! After that, I went to America and met my children. When I was arrested, the oldest was only seven years old, and the youngest was born after I was arrested. They are all in their fifties now. After 1992, I basically go back to Taiwan Province Province every year to pay homage to my late parents, my brothers and sisters who have devoted a lot of effort and pain to me, and my relatives who were arrested and killed because of me. I also went to see my brother, my brother and two sisters who are still alive. At that time, everyone opposed the Kuomintang, and I got a lot of help and sympathy, but over the years, many things have changed. Some people are afraid to meet me, others are keen on Taiwan independence. They say that the Kuomintang and * * * have no feelings for Taiwan Province people, and the next generation will change even more. Even my own children don't want to come to the mainland. They said they were afraid of * * *.
The underground party in Taiwan Province Province was destroyed, and it was a great sacrifice. Of course, Cai Xiaoqian's defection after his arrest is the main reason, but the underestimation of the situation in Taiwan Province is also one of the reasons. Zhoushan has been repeating since liberation. After all, fighting on land and crossing the river and the sea are different. In addition, at that time, the central government gave the underground party in Taiwan Province Province the task of protecting state property, maintaining social order and protecting party organizations. The guiding ideology is "wait and see" and wait for liberation. Therefore, the demands of Taiwan Province underground party for weapons, boats and money were not accepted. When the underground party in Taiwan Province Province is in crisis, it is too late to retreat. Taiwan Province Province is a small place, and there is no room for manoeuvre. If the organization was prepared at that time, the underground party might be able to tide over the difficulties safely and survive. Even if Taiwan Province Province is not liberated smoothly, the future situation should be very different. There are not many underground parties in Taiwan Province Province, some have sacrificed, some have surrendered and some have defected, but there are indeed many good comrades who have sacrificed for the party and the country. This is really a painful historical lesson!
Wu, a writer in Taiwan Province Province, wrote a novel saying that people in Taiwan Province Province are orphans in Asia, and the underground party in Taiwan Province Province belongs to the East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China. During the war of liberation, it fought vigorously with the people of the whole country, but it was like a fruitless flower, unclear and inconclusive. Many things can't be proved, and Beijing won't discuss them. With the gradual reduction of personnel, I am afraid that many things will become mysteries that can never be solved. Especially now that the Kuomintang has been ousted by the votes of Taiwan Province Province, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have also reconciled, history has developed so unexpectedly.
I volunteered to join the underground party and fight against Chiang Kai-shek. I suffered all the hardships afterwards, but I still feel sad every time I think about my family and friends involved. I have participated in the revolution all my life, and I have chosen my own path. I just want to be worthy of my conscience, my friends, my comrades and my organization, and I never want any status or wealth. I always keep a normal mind when I see others being promoted and developed. If I think I was who I was then, I should be who I am today, which is definitely misplaced. I often miss my dead comrades. Fame and fortune are really nothing!
* Note 1: Later, I learned that Cai was arrested this time, but when the spy escorted him back to his residence to get his clothes, he took the opportunity to escape. Cai was later arrested in Puli. Before Cai Xiaoqian was arrested (before I came back from Hongkong), I didn't have a fixed residence. It was arranged by Hua Shengxing, a housing agency run by Zhang Mingxian (a school official of the New Fourth Army). Most of the houses are Japanese houses, which have been decorated, but they have not been sold yet. When the house was sold, he moved to another place. Zhang Mingxian is from Fuzhou. Cai introduced me to him and said that if you have financial problems, you can look for him. Zhang Mingxian later hid in Puli to engage in armed struggle, was betrayed by the mountain people, and was arrested and sacrificed. The specific situation is unknown. Cai Hui was arrested in Puli. I guess he went to find Zhang Mingxian. Cai's wife, surnamed Ma, was a secretary hired by Cai in Shanghai before going to Taiwan Province. Before Cai was arrested, he said that the situation was dangerous and asked me to send his wife back to Shanghai to the organization and let her go back to her hometown in Suzhou for liberation. A few years ago, I heard that Ma was still in Yunnan. After Cai was arrested and defected, she married her sister-in-law and sent candy back to her friends in prison. This is, of course, the secret service's practice of disintegrating people's hearts. Why Cai sent his wife back to Shanghai first and whether she had been with her sister-in-law for a long time has always been a mystery. Personally, I suspect that Cai's failure to escape from Taiwan Province Province has something to do with this sister-in-law.
* Note 2: Cai defected a week after his arrest and gave a list of organizations, and the underground party was destroyed. Recently, someone in Taiwan Province Province said that Cai had not defected, which is impossible. Cai must have defected. It's just that things are often complicated and Cai can't be forced to confess everything. As far as I know, Cai didn't say anything about my trip to Hong Kong and my father asked someone to make a fake ID card for Cai when he was finally in danger of being arrested.
