What poem does Tears in Prison come from?

Source: My Confessions by revolutionary martyr Chen Ran.

Original text:

The heavy iron chains rang at Ren's feet.

You can hold the whip high.

I don't need any confession.

Even if the chest is facing the bloody bayonet!

One cannot lower one's noble head.

Only those who are afraid of death beg for "freedom"

What is torture?

Death can't make me talk!

I laugh at death.

The devil's palace swayed in laughter.

This is me, a "confession" made in party member.

Sing the song of triumph and bury the Chiang dynasty!

Creative background:

In prison, Chen Ran suffered all kinds of torture, and always only admitted that the "Forward" was edited, printed and distributed by himself-he was determined to sacrifice himself and protect the organization and comrades. The spies used threats and inducements to make him write a confession. Chen Ran picked up a pen and wrote an earth-shattering poem, my confession.

This well-known "red classic" poem is not, as the editor said, the legacy of the martyr Chen Ran. This matter was clarified many years ago, but unfortunately many people still don't know it.

1April, 948, the underground newspaper "Forward" of Chongqing Municipal Committee was cracked by the Kuomintang authorities, and party member and Chen Ran, secretary of the special branch of the underground newspaper, were arrested. 1949101On October 28th, 26-year-old Chen Ran passed away generously.

1In the late 1950s, at the climax of Memoirs of the Revolution, Luo Guangbin (arrested in party member, the underground party of the Communist Party of China,1August 948, detained in Zhazidong and Baigongguan Prison in Chongqing, and later escaped from prison) and Liu Debin (party member, the underground party of the Communist Party of China, 1948).

Yang Yiyan (progressive youth, 1948, arrested and detained in Zhazidong prison in Chongqing, and later released) co-authored the memoir "Fire Will Live Forever", which was published by China Youth Publishing House on February 20 14. According to the book, after Chen Ran was arrested, during the trial, the enemy asked him to write a confession. He "raised his pen and wrote down his heart without thinking."

This book, together with memoirs such as "Give Everything to the Party" and "My Family", became a best seller and a must-read for teenagers at that time, which had a wide influence.

1959 In March, China Youth Publishing House published Poems of Revolutionary Martyrs edited by Xiao San, and My Confessions was selected as the poem left by the martyr Chen Ran.
