1in August, 944, Liao Chengzhi heard that Zhang Wenbin was seriously ill and asked for a visit many times, but spies were not allowed. Liao Chengzhi was outraged and went on a hunger strike. The director was afraid of death and finally gave in.
At that time, a guard named Yao Baoshan was forced to be a guard in Majiazhou concentration camp because of his livelihood. He has a sense of justice and sympathizes with prisoners. Liao Chengzhi told Yao Baoshan that his parents followed Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary story, and Yao Baoshan's consciousness increased day by day. He also sent a note to Liao Chengzhi asking him to help borrow books. Under the planning of the underground party organization in prison, Yao Baoshan escaped from the concentration camp and delivered Liao Chengzhi's letters to the outside world. Zhou Enlai immediately called Chiang Kai-shek's office after seeing it, lodged a solemn protest and demanded the release of these people. After reading the letter, Mr. He Xiangning drafted a telegram overnight, sent a telegram for help to Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching Ling, Yu Youren and Sun Ke, and entrusted Wan 'an painter Liang Shu to visit the prison. Liang Shu put Mr. He Xiangning's letter into a small bamboo tube, stuffed it into a moldy tofu jar, and bribed the guards to hand it over to Liao Chengzhi. Finally, with the rescue of Zhou Enlai, Soong Ching Ling and He Xiangning, Liao Chengzhi was first detained in Chongqing, and then released on June 22nd 1946+65438, and regained his freedom.
