Chapter 58 Seven Confessions

I, Pu Yi, have no conscience.The government gave me such humane treatment, and I concealed these things, breaking the prison rules, no, this is breaking the law of the country, this thing is not mine, it is the people's.I didn't understand it until today, and I remembered to confess it frankly. In the director's reception room, I stood in front of the director with my head bowed.On a table by the window, the four hundred and sixty-eight pieces of jewelry emitted a regrettable brilliance.If my voluntary confession can save me, if leniency works for me, then let the glory be the glory.

The director stared at me for a while, nodded and said: "Sit down!"From this sound, I heard hope. You have gone through a lot of ideological struggles for this matter, right?asked the director. I avoided the note, saying I'd been upset about it.Of all the things I have said, only the last one is true: I dare not confess, for fear that if I do I will not receive clemency. So why?There is a smile on the corner of the director's mouth, is it because you are an emperor? I was stunned for a moment and admitted: Yes, the director. No wonder you think so, the director laughed, you have your unique history, naturally you have many unique ideas.I can tell you again: the policies of the Communist Party and the people's government are what they say they are. No matter who they were in the past, those who confess can be lenient.It's man-made.You did not hand over these things at the beginning, violated the prison rules, and hid them in the bottom of the box for more than a year. Now that you have confessed yourself and admitted your mistakes, it shows that you have repented, and I decided not to punish you.

After all, he ordered the watchman outside the door to find the custodian.The custodian arrived, and he ordered: You collect the pile of things and open a deposit slip for Pu Yi. I was so surprised.I quickly stood up: No, I don't want a deposit note.The government refuses to confiscate it, so I want to donate it. I'd better save it for you.You click here.The director stands up and wants to leave. I have already told you that for us, people who have been reformed are more valuable. I returned to the cell with a deposit slip of 468 pieces of jewelry.The companions are having a discussion meeting to discuss the issues in the book "How China Was Reduced to a Colony and Semi-Colony" that I am studying.When they saw me back, they stopped discussing, treated me like never before, and congratulated me on my progress.

Lao Pu, I admire you!They no longer call me Mr. Pu, but call me by the old name without discrimination.As soon as I heard this name, I felt more uncomfortable than Mr. Tingming, but today I feel very comfortable being called by them.Lao Pu, this act of yours has inspired me!Old Pu, I didn't see how courageous you really are.Old Pu, I have your example, and I believe in leniency policy even more.I thank you.etc. I should add one more thing here.Since my clothes have been washed and sewn, my appearance has become more embarrassing than before, and the respect of my companions has also lost more than half of my address as Mr. Some people even call me Bazashi (Harbin) behind my back. From a previous place that sold junk).The ignorance shown in their studies often arouses their unscrupulous laughter.In short, I understand who I am in their minds.Now they praised me again and again, and I suddenly felt elated.

During the rest of the day, I heard Lao Yuan, the former Manchukuo ambassador to Japan, talking about this matter to others in the courtyard.Lao Yuan has a lot of eyes. It can be said that just turning his eyes is enough for others to think for a day.This multi-minded person said something that greatly touched my heart: Lao Pu is a smart man, not stupid at all.He took the initiative and confessed the jewelry, which was absolutely right.In fact, this kind of thing cannot be concealed, and the government can easily find out.The government holds more of our material than we can imagine.Just think about the three-anti and five-anti cases in the newspapers.Millions of people have provided materials to the government, and even what you forgot have become materials and flown into the hands of the government.

According to what he said, it seems that I can't hide the lies I told in my autobiography. If I say it, will it be as safe as handing over jewels?One is a political issue, the other is an economic issue, can they be treated the same?The director didn't say anything.But it seems needless to say that a violation of the law is a violation of the law, and economic crimes are also crimes. The three evils and the five antis are severely punished, lightly punished, and frankly lenient. They should all be the same. That being said, I still can't make up my mind until things come to an end.The difference from last time is that as soon as the word lenient appeared in the newspaper, I wanted to find out more than before.

The Three Antis and Five Antis campaigns are drawing to a close, and there are more and more cases being closed, and all of them are being dealt with leniently.Old Wang was a judge, and I studied the cases in the newspaper with him.Every time I research, I always connect with my own affairs in my heart and think over and over whether I can use this policy.Later, when the Institute asked us to write materials about the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in the Northeast, I thought even more. In order to prepare for the handling of Japanese war criminals, the government began to conduct relevant investigations, calling on the puppet Manchukuo war criminals to provide materials on the crimes of the Japanese invaders in the Northeast.When the cadres of the Institute announced this matter that day, someone raised a question: Can I write about other things besides the Japanese invaders?The cadre replied: Of course it can be written, but the main thing is the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders.After hearing this, I couldn't help muttering: What else is he going to write?The others are of course Chinese, and the biggest criminal of the Chinese is of course me!Will someone in my family write something else too?

The war criminals of the Puppet Manchukuo were very active in writing about the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in the Northeast.Our group wrote more than ten copies on the first day.The team leader Lao Wang collected all the written materials and said with satisfaction: Our grades are good!I will definitely be able to write so much tomorrow.Someone said: If ordinary people in Northeast China are allowed to write, then I don't know how much they can write.Lao Wang said: Needless to say, the government will definitely investigate the people in the Northeast!What do you think, Lao Pu?I said: I think it is certain, but I don't know if other people are being investigated besides the Japanese invaders this time?Don't investigate others, but someone will definitely write about us.The common people hate us as much as they hate the Japanese!

When it was time for dinner, it was Da Li who came to deliver the meal.I felt that he seemed very angry. He left without waiting for me to pick up the food and put it on the ground.After he walked away, I immediately remembered that he was the one who helped me get into the carriage when I left Jingyuan. The next day, we wrote another day of material.I don't know much, and I write less.When Lao Wang received the materials, he was still very satisfied, because there were still quite a few written by others.He said: You see, from this inference, how many people in the Northeast will write!How much material the government has!Those who have done judicial work will know that if you have evidence, you will not be afraid that you will not speak up.In the past, the judiciary in the old society thought that evidence was the most difficult thing, but in the people's government, ordinary people all come to provide materials, so the situation is different.When I heard this, my heart jumped again.

The government has the material!It's not the first time I've heard this.I couldn't help thinking of this sentence this morning when we were discussing a newspaper article about the capture of hidden counter-revolutionaries.The newspaper reported that the executioner who killed the Red Army general Fang Zhimin in 1935 had been captured in the deep mountains of Shimen, Hunan.After the liberation of Hunan, this executioner first hid in Changde County, and later hid in the mountains of Shimen, where he continued to engage in counter-revolutionary activities, but was finally detected by the public security organs.How it was found out was not mentioned in the newspaper.I thought to myself, this probably means we have mastered the materials again. Probably the Communist Party has recorded the materials of this executioner since 1935.I learned a judicial term from Lao Wang, which is called record keeping.

On the third day, when I wrote the last piece of material, I suddenly heard a voice on the stairs.I turned my head and saw a strange middle-aged man appearing near the post, followed by the director.Based on experience, I judged that this was an inspection from a higher authority.The inspector inspected each cell one by one, and listened to the chief warden report the names of the prisoners in each cell with no expression on his face.He didn't wear uniform, but I thought he looked like a soldier, not so much from his precise and well-proportioned movements and his regular figure, as from his serious countenance.He is about fifty years old. What are you doing?He stopped outside our cell and asked, looking at me.I didn't expect his tone to be very gentle, and he had a smile on his face. I stood up and reported that I was writing about the crimes of the Japanese invaders.He was interested in my answer: What crimes do you know about the Japanese invaders? I told the story of the massacre of secret construction workers that I just wrote and heard from Tong Jixu. Maybe it's my nervousness, maybe it's the truth, I think the smile on his face suddenly disappears, his eyes become very serious.I never expected the story to evoke such a strong reaction from him. I was very excited when I heard it. I didn't expect the Japanese to be so cruel.I said uneasily. Why don't you protest to the Japanese?He stared into my eyes. I felt that he was angry, so I quickly lowered my head and said softly: I can not You dare not, are you afraid?He didn't want me to answer, he continued on his own, alas, fear, fear can turn a person like this!In the last sentence, the calm tone was restored. I whispered: This is all due to my crimes, I can only confess my crimes to the people, and my death will not be enough to cover them! Don't be like this, take everything on your own head.You can only take responsibility for your part.We should seek truth from facts.It's yours, you can't push it away, it's not yours, and it's not included in your account. I continued to say that my sins were serious, and I was grateful for the government's treatment of me. I had recognized my sins and was determined to reform myself.I didn't know if he was listening to me, but he looked around our cell and asked a prisoner to take a mouthwash cup and have a look.When I finished speaking, he shook his head and said: We should seek truth from facts.As long as you truly confess your sins and show repentance, you will definitely be forgiven.The Communist Party keeps its word and pays attention to the facts at the same time.The people's government is responsible to the people.You should explain your progress with facts and actions, not words.Try Harder. He glanced at the pile of things I wrote, and then walked to the next cell. My heart is heavy.I picked up the pile of written materials and read it again. It seems that today I feel the seriousness of this kind of thing. From then on, those stern gazes seemed to be inseparable from me, and those few words always hit my heart: It's yours, you can't push it away!We should seek truth from facts!Demonstrate your progress with facts and actions, not words!I felt that I was in the face of an irresistible impulse.Yes, this is an impulsive force that will not give up until the end.It was because of this momentum that the executioner who killed Fang Zhimin in 1935 could not escape hiding in the mountains.I think that in the face of this momentum, the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in the Northeast will all be settled, and the old accounts of the puppet traitors, big and small, will not be able to escape. It was Sunday, and I was drying the washed clothes in the yard when I suddenly saw Da Li and Xiao Rui.Another cadre from the office came from a distance.The three of them stood near the flower platform for a while, then parted ways and walked away.Xiaorui came to the place where I hung my clothes. I wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't even look at me and walked straight past.I can't help but wonder: what's going on?Are they really headed for a dead end? I went back to the house, found some old newspapers, and read the news and articles on the lenient handling of the three-anti and five-anti cases.After watching for a while, Pharaoh came over and said: what are you doing?Study the Five Antis? No more research.I put down the newspaper and made up my mind. I remembered some things in the past. I didn’t realize its nature before. what's wrong?Of course!He lowered his voice and said: Besides, the government has a lot of materials about us, so let's talk about it first. I picked up my pen.In this learning reflection, there is a paragraph to the effect that the imperialist invasion of China is inseparable from the use of feudal and comprador forces. My experience is a typical example.Under the subjective fantasy of restoration, the feudal forces using me as a sign colluded with Japanese imperialism, and Japanese imperialism used this sign to turn the Northeast into its colony.I wrote down the details of my activities in Zhangyuan and Jingyuan in Tianjin, my group's relationship with the Japanese, and my meeting with Doihara. Two days later, the team leader Lao Wang told me that the staff saw what I wrote and thought that I had made great progress and deserved to be praised in this group. It is more useful to produce one real physical evidence than to say ten thousand empty words.Old Wang, who had worked as a judge, said.
