Chapter 62 Eleven self-inflicted crimes, can not live

The seriousness of the problem is not limited to this. The confession and exposure of the Japanese war criminals and the accusations and reports of the people in the Northeast made us excited.Especially those young people, the reaction is exceptionally strong.Under such circumstances, I was exposed by my nephew, brother-in-law and Da Li.I was caught up in hatred from all directions, including family hatred.It was as if I was surrounded by mirrors, and I could see my invisible image from various angles. It started with a general meeting in one of our schools.That day we participated in the study meeting of Japanese war criminals, and the staff of the working group called us together and asked everyone to talk about their impressions and understandings.Many people stood up to speak, voluntarily confessing their crimes and denouncing others, the passion they had felt from the Japanese War Criminals Conference was still alive.People reported more concentrated on Zhang Huanxiang, the former Puppet Minister of Justice of Manchukuo.Before the September 18th Incident, he served as the education director of the Northeast Lecture Hall, the chief executive of the Harbin Special Zone, and the aviation commander of the Northeast Army.After the September 18th Incident, he ran from Guannei to his hometown in Fushun, tried every means to curry favor with the Japanese, offered advice and suggestions to the rulers, and submitted forty-two items. Therefore, he was appreciated by the Kwantung Army and entrusted by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to climb up The seat of the Minister of Justice.He has many famous actions, one of which is that before he was appointed, he first enshrined the shrine of Emperor Jimmu of Japan at home. Whenever a Japanese came to him, he would kneel in front of the shrine and wait for him.The other is that he once personally supervised migrant workers to build the Shenwu Tianhuang Temple in Fushun, and he and his wife cleaned it every day after it was completed.He was so frightened that his face paled amidst people's complaints.Later, people mentioned his various confrontational behaviors when he entered the institute, such as deliberately ruining the food, disrupting the order in the institute, and often yelling at the guards, etc., which aroused the anger of the audience.Someone warned him that if he was dishonest again in the future, he would be exposed at any time, and the government would not spare him.I am very afraid of being reported on the spot by others like this, and I am very afraid that others will think that I am dishonest.Because of this report and guilty plea, we are not allowed to disclose materials to each other. I am afraid that others will not know that I have made a confession, so I feel that it is necessary to talk about it at the conference and express my attitude.I have therefore also made a statement.After I finished the confession materials, just when I was about to say a few words and express my determination to confess my guilt, Xiaogu suddenly stood up from the crowd and asked me a question:

You said so much, why didn't you mention that note? I was stunned. note!Xiaorui's note!Xiaoxiu also got up, you said just now that those jewelry and treasures were handed over automatically, why didn't you say that Xiaorui mobilized them? Yes, yes, I said hastily, I was about to talk about this.This is inspired by Xiaorui I hastily added this matter, but Xiao Gu and Xiao Xiu still looked at each other angrily, as if they were still not reconciled.Fortunately, this conference is over. I went back to the cell and quickly took up a pen and wrote a self-criticism to the prison.I thought that the director would be very angry when he found out, and I couldn't help but blame Xiaorui. Why did you tell Xiaogu and Xiaoxiu about this?Xiao Gu and Xiao Xiu are too ruthless, we are a family after all, if you don't learn from Lao Wan and Lao Run, you can't even compare with Da Li!Not long after, I saw the written report materials written by them, and I realized that the changes in my family were more terrifying than I had estimated.

According to regulations, each report material must be read in person.Interrogator Zhao took the pile of reporting materials and said as usual: After you read it, you can sign if you agree, and you can file a defense if you disagree. I read some pseudo-ministers first.These are all public materials of the Manchukuo regime, and I signed them all.Then read what my family wrote.After reading a few pages, my palms were sweating. Among Lao Wan's report materials, one article reads: On August 9, 1945, I entered the palace to meet Puyi at night.Pu was writing a note, when Zhang Jinghui and Wubu Liuzang were waiting to see him in the outer room.Pu showed me a note, to the effect that: Order the entire Manchu army and civilians to fight with the Japanese Imperial Army to defeat the invading enemy (Soviet Army).Pu said that he would present Zhang Jinghui and others accordingly, and asked me what I thought.I replied: This is the only way, there is no other way.

I thought this was ruined!I had put this on Yoshioka's account. Da Li's report surprised me even more.Not only did he write the details of my departure from Tianjin, but he also wrote about my making an offensive and defensive alliance with him before writing my autobiography. It's not just that.They revealed very specifics about my past daily behavior, how I treated the Japanese, and how I treated people in my family.If one or two of these things were mentioned separately, it might not be a big deal, but now that they have gathered them together, the situation is different.For example, Lao Wan wrote this passage:

When watching a movie in the false palace, the emperor stood up immediately when he appeared, and applauded when the Japanese soldiers captured the scene.The reason is that it is Japanese who show the movie. When coal conservation was implemented in 1944, Puyi ordered Jixi Building to stop raising the fire, so that he could show Yoshioka to see it, but in his bedroom, he kept Yoshioka behind his back and used the electric fire to keep warm. Puyi fled to Dalizigou, and put the statues of Woshen and Yuren's mother in the living room of the car. When he passed by there, he must perform a ninety-degree salute, and ordered us to do the same.

Xiaorui's complaint contained the following passage: Some of the orphans he used were only eleven or twelve years old, and some were taken in by the Boji Association after their parents were killed by the Japanese invaders.I worked seventeen or eighteen hours, ate sorghum, rice, and pickles, and tasted all kinds of punishments, and beat hands frequently and lightly.Standing in wooden cages, kneeling on iron chains, and punishing hard labor usually have to monitor each other.Orphans grow up to eighteen or nineteen years old and are still as tall and short as eleven or twelve years old.Puyi's subordinates once beat an orphan to death, but he ate fast and recited Buddha's name, and he didn't even beat flies and mosquitoes.

It was Da Li who wrote with hatred in his tone: Pu Yi is cruel and afraid of death, he is very suspicious, and he is very good at using power and tactics, very hypocritical.He didn't treat his servants as human beings, he beat or scolded them, and the beatings and scolding were not because of any mistakes, it was all based on his personal emotions.If you feel a little uncomfortable or tired, the user will be unlucky.The punches and kicks are light.But when he met outsiders, his hypocrisy was as if nothing could be better. The torture tools for beating people included wooden boards and horse whips in Tianjin, and many new tricks were added in Manchukuo.

He taught everyone to be his accomplices, if someone was beaten, and the others didn't hit him, or the action was a little slow, he thought it was a party to protect him, and the person who didn't hit him would be beaten many times more severely.Nephews and attendants have never beaten anyone.A twelve or thirteen-year-old Zhou Boren (orphan) was beaten once and had a foot-long gash on his legs. Doctor Huang Zizheng treated him for two or three months before he recovered.When the child was being treated, Pu Yi asked me to deliver milk and other things, and asked me to say to the child: How kind the emperor is to you!Can you eat something this good in an orphanage?

After reading the last batch of reporting materials, the previous set of principles for defending myself have been fundamentally shaken. In the past, I saw my behavior as justified.I succumbed to the pressure of the Japanese and obeyed its will because I had no choice but to do it; it was my right to domineering, taking what I gave, beating, scolding, and even torture my family members.In short, it is natural and reasonable for me to submit to the strong and show off to the weak. I believe that everyone in my situation will do that.Now, I understand that no one else is like this except me; my reasoning cannot be taken out.

Speaking of the weak, there is nothing weaker than prisoners deprived of their rights. However, the Communists in power did not beat, scold, or treat these prisoners improperly.Speaking of the strong, the American army with first-class equipment can be considered strong. However, the Communist army, which is far inferior to its equipment, is not afraid of it, and dares to fight it for three years. word. Just now, I saw new examples.From the complaints and reports of the people, I learned that there are many ordinary people who did not act according to my creed in the face of violent pressure.

There was a farmer named Li Diangui in Bayan County who was oppressed by devils and traitors. He put his hope on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.During the Spring Festival of 1941, he sent a bucket of millet, 47 twists, 120 eggs and two packs of cigarettes to the anti-union team.Later, the pseudo-police found out and arrested him. He was hanged, beaten, and electrified all day long, and put the bloody victim next to him to intimidate him, and asked him to give clues to the Anti-Japanese League.This tenacious and unyielding farmer did not reveal any confession about the Anti-Japanese League. He was tortured in prison and persisted until he was recovered and rescued. Jiang Shufa was the vice president of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association in Tianzengtun. He delivered meals to the Anti-Japanese Federation and took him across the road.He was electrified and doused with cold water, but he did not give any clues. The secret agents had nothing to do with him, and finally sentenced him to two years in prison. Xiao Zhenfang is also an ordinary farmer, helping his uncle Xiao Kun to deliver food, lead the way to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and do secret anti-Japanese work.In the middle of the night on April 21, 1943, six bogus policemen broke into his home suddenly, but failed to find his uncle Xiao Kun, and kidnapped him to the police station for questioning.He said: I don't know!The policemen beat him to death, then poured cold water on him, woke him up and beat him again, so that he was resurrected from the dead, alive and beaten to death again, until the fourth time, the cold water could no longer keep him alive, so he was dragged to the corpse post with a sanitation truck , and throw it there.This tenacious man came back to life in the dead corpse, and was rescued by a worker pulling a sanitation truck.His uncle Xiao Kun was also arrested later, and he was unyielding until his death.The prison he lived in was the place where I lived in Harbin. In 1943, Li Yinghua from Jinshantun was still a child. He once delivered eggs to the Anti-Union Army passing by, but was denounced by the spies and arrested in the police station.The spies lighted cigarettes and poured tea for him first, invited him to eat dumplings, and said: You are a child, you are not sensible, so you will be released if you say so.Li Yinghua smoked, drank tea, ate dumplings, and said: I am a farmer, I don't know anything!The spies hung him upside down and beat him, then charged him, set him on fire, stripped him and smashed him against a nailboard, but they got nothing from the child. In short, I know that not all people in the world have soft bones.There is no other explanation for what I have done in the past, except that I am bullying and fearing death. I used to have the most fundamental reason to explain why I bullied the weak and feared the hard, greedy for life and afraid of death, that is, my life is the most precious, and I have more value in existence than anyone else.Over the past few years, after doing laundry and pasting paper boxes, I have understood my own value, and today I have seen my own value from the reports of ordinary people and families in Northeast China. I saw in the screen of the mirror that I was a guilty man, a man without honor, a man who had no reason to justify himself. After I signed the last document, I walked down the aisle, full of remorse and sadness If the sky does evil, it can still be violated, if you do evil yourself, you can't live!
