Ye Ting's prison singer.

The door where people come in and out is locked, the hole where dogs climb is open, and a voice is shouting: Climb out and set you free! I long for freedom, but I also know that a person's body can't climb out of the dog hole! I can only look forward to the day when the underground fire rushes up and burns this living coffin with me. I deserve eternal life in fire and blood. Six-faced layman

situation

194 1, 1 year, regardless of the national anti-Japanese righteousness, the Kuomintang used eight times the strength of the New Fourth Army and launched the "Southern Anhui Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries. Ye Ting, the commander of the army, was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned. But it left a widely circulated story ... After the Southern Anhui Incident, Ye Ting was imprisoned by reactionaries in Shangrao concentration camp. His cell was dark and damp, and the cold ground was covered with several moldy straws covered with insects and fleas, which tortured him. In order to trick Ye Ting into surrendering, the Kuomintang reactionaries racked their brains. One day, Gu sent a limousine to take Ye to the headquarters for dinner. After the banquet began, Gu proposed a toast to Ye Ting, urging Ye Ting to issue a declaration stating that the New Fourth Army would be released from prison or even an official if it did. Ye Ting hit the table and flew into a rage. "Shameless," he said, "you created the Southern Anhui Incident, framed the New Fourth Army and destroyed War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. It is up to you to confess to the people. " Ye Ting aboveboard, righteously, every word like a sword stab gu gaping. Later, Chiang Kai-shek personally persuaded Ye Ting to surrender, but Ye Ting sternly refused. Chiang Kai-shek will hastily arrange Ye Ting in Chongqing "Sino-US Cooperation Office", and he will be tortured and persecuted. General Ye Ting lived in a prison cell, so he couldn't ride the anti-Japanese battlefield and lead his soldiers to the front, but he was forced to write some statements and declarations. Excited, he picked up a pen and wrote the famous Prison Song on the wall of his cell. Song's door was locked when people came in and out of prison, and the hole where dogs climbed out was open. A voice shouted:-Climb out and set you free! I long for freedom, but I deeply know-how can a person's body climb out of a dog hole! I hope that one day the underground fire will burn my living coffin. I deserve to live forever in fire and blood! Guo Moruo once said: "His poems are written with life and blood, and his poems are himself." This article was published in the first issue of Weimin Weekly just published on April 6th. It immediately had a huge impact, spread like wildfire, was widely read and passed down to this day. After Xu was arrested and imprisoned, Ye Ting began to grow hair and vowed not to be free, not to have a haircut or shave. Ye Ting was in prison, and there were often Kuomintang politicians surrendering. At this time, the spy chief Dai Li would send Shen Zui to persuade Ye Ting to cut off her long hair. On one occasion, Chiang Kai-shek, commander of the Kuomintang Sixth Theater, went to see Ye Ting, and Shen Zui went to persuade Ye Ting to get a haircut. This time, Shen Zui changed his way, saying in the form of casual chat that Chongqing is too stuffy these days. Many people advised Ye Ting to cut off her long hair as soon as possible because there are lice in her hair, so as to avoid being bitten by lice. Ye Ting had already seen through his intention and said angrily, "I will never cut my hair without unconditional release." After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek was forced by national pressure to release Ye Ting. When Ye Ting walked out of the prison, his hair had grown to his shoulders and his beard had grown to his chest. Ye Ting said to Shen Zui, "In the past, you advised me to cut my long hair several times, but I didn't agree. Now I will cut it off automatically and keep it well to educate future generations. " My first wish after I got out of prison was 1945. In August, Japan surrendered. Ye Ting, who was under house arrest in Enshi, was escorted back to Chongqing on September 14. During the negotiations in Chongqing, China demanded that the Kuomintang release Ye Ting, Liao Chengzhi, Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and all political prisoners. 1At the old CPPCC meeting in early 946, Guo Moruo waved the flag and shouted for the unconditional release of Ye Ting, and quoted a four-character poem written by Ye Ting in prison: "Four words, three years as a commander; Once expelled, life imprisonment. " Express your anger through Ye Ting's poems. Chinese and foreign journalists also visited the Kuomintang authorities and asked when Ye Ting was released. Under the pressure of public opinion at home and abroad, Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary government had to restore Ye Ting's freedom on the afternoon of March 4th, 1946. Ye Ting read the news of his release in Ta Kung Pao. Shen Zui, the spy chief, also made a special trip to the prison to "visit" Ye Ting, and respectfully asked, "What urgent matter is General Ye going to do first after he is released from prison? Ye Ting said without hesitation: "First of all, we must apply to join the China * * * Production Party." Sure enough, on the evening of March 5th, the day after Ye Ting was released from prison, he immediately wrote a letter to the Party Central Committee to apply for joining the Party ... History is like a wheel, rolling forward. The poet Cang Kejia once wrote a poem "Some People": "Some people are alive, but they are dead; Some people died, and he is still alive. "General Ye Ting is the latter, and he will live in people's memory forever. .
