The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent someone to read out the decision to rehabilitate Guan Lu, who was lying on the hospital bed: Guan Lu's history has been found out, and there is no traitor problem. ······Cancel and reject all slanderous and untrue statements imposed on Comrade Guan Lu.

The "decision" also revoked the past review and treatment report against her: "When Guan Lu accepted organizational tasks and went to the enemy and puppet agencies, she did not actively work for the party, but openly worked for the enemy, which caused The role of a traitor."

After 43 years of being stigmatized as a traitor and 10 years in prison, the truth has finally come to light.

Guan Lu: The legendary talented woman who broke into the devil's cave

In the spring, the fragrance of flowers comes, and the warm sun shines in the sky. My rags. Langli Grand Langli Grand Langli Grand...

I believe many people have heard of this song, but how many people know who the lyricist of this song is?

She is a great woman. Guan Lu, a name that has been dusted by history. On the centenary of her birth, there was no commemorative meeting or memorial article, just like her death back then, which was silent.

In Guan Lu, the three identities of talented woman, traitor and agent have been entangled with her throughout her life.

Shanghai in 1939 had been reduced to an "isolated island" under the ravages of the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders. This ten-mile foreign land with a bustling appearance was full of betrayals, kidnappings and assassinations. At this time, Guan Lu was one of the three most famous female writers in Shanghai, the other two being Ding Ling and Zhang Ailing.

In addition to creating, Guan Lu also translated many well-known excellent works such as Gorky's "Petrel" and "The Autobiography of Duncan" in the future. The song "In Spring", which reveals healthy and open-minded feelings, is even more She won the love of people at the bottom of society. At that time, Guan Lu was full of passion. Facing the Japanese invasion, she loudly shouted: "I would rather die fighting for the motherland than be a widow of the nation!" Such patriotic poems once won her the title of "the wife of the nation".

What is unexpected is that such a beloved female writer suddenly disappeared at the end of this year. When Guan Lu appeared in Shanghai again, she turned out to be a celebrity in the family of the pseudo-spy chief Wang.

What caused her to undergo such a terrible change? The mystery was finally revealed 43 years later.

It turned out that the poetess whose real name was Hu Shoumei was already a secret party member of the Communist Party of China. She accepted an extraordinary task - to break into "No. 76" and find out the true thoughts of Li Shiqun, the agent leader of the Wang Puppet regime. time to instigate rebellion against him. For such an arduous task, why did you choose Guan Lu? Guan Lu has a younger sister named Hu Xiufeng. In 1933, after Li Shiqun was arrested by the Kuomintang, his wife Ye Jiqing was desperate, and Hu Xiufeng received her, so Li Shiqun has always been grateful to Hu Xiufeng. Based on this relationship, the party organization originally planned to send Hu Xiufeng, but Hu Xiufeng was busy with work in Chongqing at the time, so she recommended her sister Guan Lu.

In November 1939, Guan Lu's novel "New and Old Era" had entered the final revision, but one night, she received a secret message from the top leader of the South China Bureau of the Communist Party of China. ——"Go to Hong Kong quickly to find Liao Chengzhi"! (Note: Liao was the head of the Hong Kong office of the Eighth Route Army at the time.) The day after Guan Lu arrived in Hong Kong, two guests visited her. One of them was Liao Chengzhi, and the other introduced himself: "My name is Pan Hannian." It was a top-secret conversation, and it was not mentioned for the first time in some materials until several years later. The task brought by Pan Hannian was to order Guan Lu to return to Shanghai and instigate Li Shiqun. We have no way of knowing how Pan Hannian persuaded Guan Lu in the end. What we can find from historical data is that Pan Hannian finally said to Guan Lu: "If someone calls you a traitor from now on, you can't defend yourself. If you want to defend yourself, it will be bad." "Guan Lu said: "I will not defend myself."

At this time, she had to say a temporary farewell to her lover Wang Bingnan. When Guan Lu said goodbye to Wang Bingnan, Wang Bingnan gave her a photo with the words on the back: "You care about me for a while, and I care about you all my life." Guan Lu gave him a collection of poems "Songs on the Pacific". When shaking hands and saying goodbye, Guan Lu's eyes were a little moist, thinking about the scene when they first met. Wang Bingnan was taken to Guan Lu's home by a friend, and the two chatted for a long time. Guan Lu admires Wang Bingnan's experience. From then on, they relied on letters to enhance their affection for each other, and it was this warmth that gave Guan Lu some comfort in the lonely Shanghai. Wang Bingnan is a revolutionary and he strongly supports Guan Lu's work. In this way, the two people who were passionately in love separated for work.

After returning to Shanghai, Guan Lu became a frequent visitor to the Wang Puppet Agent Headquarters at No. 76 Jisi Feier Road. Li Shiqun asked his wife to go shopping, watch movies, and attend various public events with Guan Lu. Intentionally or unintentionally, the news that Guan Lu had taken refuge with Wang Puppet Agent spread. In March 1940, Wang Jingwei made his grand appearance in Nanjing, and enemy agents in Shanghai became unprecedentedly rampant. This aroused the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of progressive groups in the literary and art circles. At this time of employment, the head of the League of Leftists found Jiang Xijin, who was in charge of poetry work. "Does Guan Lu still participate in your activities?" "Yes." "Don't let her participate in the future." After that, many of Guan Lu's former colleagues and friends in Shanghai looked at her sideways. When everyone talked about her, Even spitting on the ground. Jiang Xijin once met Guan Lu on the road and chatted for a while. When she shook hands with Xijin and said goodbye, she said, "I have never been to your home. I have completely forgotten the address of your home." Guan Lu strictly carried out the party's instructions and deliberately alienated those few remaining friends.

According to Hu Xiufeng, Guan Lu wrote a letter to her during this period: "I want to go to 'Dad, Mom', but I don't know if 'Dad, Mom' agrees." Here "Mom and Dad" refers to the liberated areas and Yan'an. Hu Xiufeng said that after receiving the letter from Guan Lu, he immediately reported the matter to Deng Yingchao. Not long after, a person from the Eighth Route Army office found Hu Xiufeng. Then Hu Xiufeng wrote back to Guan Lu and said, "'Mom and Dad' don't agree with your coming back. You are still in Shanghai." After two years of enduring the humiliation and burden, Guan Lu finally paid off. Harvest.

In 1941, Guan Lu and Li Shiqun had a traceable conversation. Guan Lu said: "My sister wrote a letter saying that she has a friend who wants to do business. Are you willing?" Li Shiqun was a very smart man, and he understood it as soon as he heard it. Soon, Pan Hannian secretly met with Li Shiqun in Shanghai based on Guan Lu's judgment. From then on, the Japanese army's rural clearing and raiding plans were always sent to the New Fourth Army in advance. After that, other comrades were responsible for Li Shiqun's secret contact with the Communist Party of China. Guan Lu ushered in her new mission.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan stepped up its aggression against China, not only on its territory but also on its culture. The Japanese military department launched many new Chinese-language publications in China and recruited a group of traitorous literati. In May 1942, the "Girls' Voice" magazine under the control of the Japanese Navy recruited a new editor. This was a fashionable and kind-faced Chinese woman. She was Guan Lu. The training in the previous two years has made Guan Lu more mature. In the days that followed, she exercised her editorial power and published many articles with anti-war and patriotic implications, cultivating and discovering a large number of progressive literary youths. In July 1943, "Girls' Voice" magazine decided to send Guan Lu to attend the "Greater East Asian Literary Scholars Conference" to be held in Japan in August. All the dozen or so Chinese representatives will be published in the newspaper, with photos attached. After this appearance, Guan Lu's reputation as a "traitor" will never be erased. Just when Guan Lu was hesitating, Pan Hannian sent her a letter, asking her to go to Japan and deliver it to Professor Akita.

It turned out that Nosaka Sanzo, the Japanese leader in China at the time, had lost contact with Japanese leaders in Japan and hoped to restore it through Akita. It happened that Akita was among the Japanese friends introduced to Guan Lu by the magazine. With the party's mission, Guan Lu is on the road again.

In Japan, Guan Lu successfully completed the task of delivering a letter to Akita. At this conference, the Japanese side asked the Chinese representatives to give a radio speech. The topic assigned to Guan Lu was "Glory of the Greater East Asia". Guan Lu firmly refused and changed the topic to "Cultural Exchanges between Sino-Japanese Women" , Japan agreed. The content of Guan Lu's speech was roughly that after coming to Japan, due to language barriers, it was difficult to communicate with Japanese female writers. Communication between Chinese and Japanese women is very important. Everyone must learn some of each other's language to facilitate communication and so on. There is no content that praises Japanese militarism throughout the article.

When Guan Lu returned to Shanghai, she received two pieces of news: First, Li Shiqun, the leader of Wang’s puppet secret service, died suddenly and mysteriously at home in September; second, news of her attendance at the Japanese conference had spread domestically. open. An article published in the "Jiji Xinbao" in 1943 said, "On that day, when the newspaper tried to bluff for the glory circle, Guan Lu was honored as a representative and shamelessly went to the enemy's capital to hold a congress. She is a shameless female writer who grew up completely under deformity." Guan Lu's "traitor career" reached its peak.

In August 1945, Japan announced its surrender. Our party received a secret report that Guan Lu was on the Kuomintang's anti-rape list, so we immediately arranged for her to come to the Northern Jiangsu Liberated Area.

Can the name of "traitor" be finally washed away?
