Here's another interesting story:

Before Professor Dong left for Jinchaji, he discussed with his wife and deliberately left a note that said: Because he saw through the red dust and decided to go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, his family did not need to be sad, nor did he need to look for Yunyun.

After Mr. Dong left home, many relatives and friends visited his home after hearing the news. Mrs. Dong was always crying while taking out the note left by her husband to show others. Because Professor Dong used to study Buddhism, most people believe it.

Soon after, Mr. Dong's daughter got married and held a wedding ceremony in Zhongshan Park, and they announced on the spot that Professor Dong had escaped into the empty door and became a monk. It is said to be another scholar who became a monk after Mr. Li Shutong (Master Hongyi).

Later, his friends Wang Xiwei and Cui Yulin went to visit him at home, and when Mrs. Dong cried again and took out the note, both of them laughed and said: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to act anymore, we already know about the eldest brother, and we are ready to go over there." ”

When the first Senate of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region opened in Wentang Village, Fuping County, there were 288 senators present, who came from various parts of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, guerrilla areas, and enemy-occupied areas. Among them, the participants escorted by the underground organizations and traffic stations in Beiping and Baoding all arrived on time to attend the conference, and Mr. Dong was also elected as a member of the presidium of the conference.

As an armed escort team, Yang Bangzi participated in such an operation, and when he came back, he said that he would not do anything, he meant that Lao Tzu was leading the troops to fight, and he was itchy when he looked at the turret, and he was not allowed to get started, so he took a group of people wearing glasses and wearing long shirts to hurry. Boring!

How did he know how important it was for this gang of people who wore long shirts and glasses to our party! In some paragraphs, let's give a few examples of what characters have been sent before and after this traffic line!

For example, Professor Dong's old friend, Professor Wang Xizheng. As early as when he was studying at Nanjing University, he participated in the May Day Movement. Wang Guilin, the chief of police in Jiangsu Province who led the students to arrest the suppression of the student movement, was wanted by the Kuomintang authorities, and later edited and distributed the weekly "New Education" and "New Education Review" with Tao Xingzhi New Education Review to advocate the education revolution.

Later, he served as the principal of Beiping Normal School and the director of the secondary school department of Beiping Confucius School. From 1929 to 1930, he assisted Tao Xingzhi in founding Xiaozhuang Normal School, and served as the teaching director of Anhui Public School, engaged in the practice of educational revolution.

In 1930, he served as the tutor of Zhang Xuesi (Zhang Zuolin's fourth son) in the Marshal Zhang Zuolin's mansion in Shenyang, and was the initiator of Comrade Zhang Xuesi's participation in the revolution (Zhang Xuesi served as the deputy commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy after participating in the revolution). From 1932 to 1942, he successively taught at Northeastern University, Peking University, Beijing Normal University, Yenching University, Fu Jen University and other universities, teaching courses in Chinese language, classics, modernity, history, and criticism.

Wang Xizheng participated in the work of the underground party as early as the May Day Movement. From the 30s. He and his family lived at No. 84 Shijuma Street in Beiping, and often held Kunqu opera concerts under the canopy of the courtyard, and engaged in the party's underground activities under the cover of singing Kunqu opera. Before the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Xizheng did underground work under the leadership of Ruan Muhan, which belonged to the Central Special Branch. Our party's underground work old-timers!

After that, Ruan Muhan went to the anti-Japanese base area, and Wang Xizheng lost contact with the party. After learning about his situation, the city work committee decided to take him to the base area. At the end of 1942, the Northern Bureau sent Geyuan into Beiping. Go to Professor Wang Xizheng's house and secretly pick him up and take him to the Mancheng Traffic Station. Commander Yang of the 1st Division hosted a banquet to welcome him.

After Professor Wang Xizheng arrived in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region, he published an article in the Jin-Cha-Ji Daily, entitled "The Citizens of Beiping Who Want to Wear Their Eyes", which caused a strong impact. After that, he served as the industrial president of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border District Government, and the secretary-general of the Chahar Provincial Government after the liberation of Zhangjiakou; After the liberation of the country, he served as the director of the Counsellor's Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Central People's Government.

At the end of June 1943, half a year after Professor Wang Xizheng came to the Jin-Cha-Ji Anti-Japanese Base Area, with his own consent, the Baoding Traffic Station arranged to pick up his wife and children to the Jin-Cha-Ji Anti-Japanese Base Area. An Jie went to inform Mrs. Wang Xizheng through Wang Xizheng's friend He Wansheng.

According to Wang Xizheng's daughter's recollection, the weather was hot at that time, coupled with the nervous rush, Mr. He Wansheng's sweat flowed down the cuffs to the back of his hands, and ticked straight down.

He Wansheng carefully explained the route of action: first take the train to Baoding, get off the train and meet acquaintances, don't speak, and then take two tricycles to the barbarian camp in the suburbs, don't mistakenly enter the nearby Shuiniantou Village; If there is a Japanese puppet army coming down to interrogate on the turret, they say that they are going to their uncle's house to collect land rent.

There was an old man with a banana fan at the entrance of the barbarian camp, wiping his eyes with a towel, and the old man asked, "Are you here?" "Come with him into the village.

The next day was June 28, Mrs. Wang Xizheng urged the children to get up early, she wore a blue cloth coat, took her three minor daughters, and carried a few small bags, and set off in a hurry. They have a puppy named "Ding Ding" at home, and the caretaker is very faithful, and before leaving, he gave it to someone else's house, and the dog was so scared that he pulled out the feces and pouted, which was really pitiful.

Wang Xizheng's family got off the train in Baoding according to the designated route and took a tricycle to the entrance of Manziying Village. The Baoding station arranged for the traffic officer to sit at the entrance of the village with a banana fan and wait, and led them into the village. On this night, they changed their quarters several times, climbed ladders and climbed walls, so that they would not be discovered by the enemy.

After a few days in the barbarian camp, he began his 80-mile night march. There are members of our party's armed forces to escort them all the way, and they also send fellow villagers to carry their four-year-old daughter on their backs. Braving the drizzle, they rushed through the enemy's blockade trench in the dark of night. After a night of rapid marching, we finally arrived at Zhouzhuang.

Secretary Zhang and An Jie met them together, and led them to meet Commander Yang, who picked up the little girl as soon as they met, very enthusiastic. After resting in Zhouzhuang for a few days, he began a five-day march and arrived at Nanwan Village, Fuping County, the seat of the border district government, to reunite with Professor Wang Xizheng. Nie Rongzhen, Yao Yilin and other leaders prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain their family.

Professor Wang Xizheng went to the Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base area, which caused a considerable chain reaction among the university teachers in Beiping, and directly affected a large number of people, and then they also entered the Jin-Cha-Ji border area to work for our party.

Professor Cui Yulin and Wang Xizheng are colleagues, neighbours and good friends. He teaches at Yenching University and serves as a member of the University Council. When the Pacific War broke out in December 1941 and the Japanese invading forces closed Yenching University, Professor Cui Yulin was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese gendarmerie for more than a month.

Wang Xizheng went to the Jinchaji anti-Japanese base area, and said goodbye to Yenching University professors Lu Zhiwei, Shen Xiazhang, Nie Chongqi, and Cui Yulin before leaving. At that time, Cui Yulin said with certainty: "You go first, if it is good there, you will send a letter, and I will go too!" ”

In May 1943, Wang Xizheng wrote a letter inviting Cui Yulin to come to the base area and handed the letter to Secretary Zhang of Baoding Station. sent someone to Beiping to contact the work, and brought a letter from Wang Xizheng inviting Cui Yulin, and handed it to Anjie, asking her to arrange for Cui Yulin to come to the Jinchaji base in the summer.

Anjie found Professor Nie Chongqi through underground party member Wang Tong, and Nie Chongqi handed it over to Professor Cui Yulin. Mr. Cui Yulin was very happy to read Wang Xizheng's letter, and soon arranged for his family to go to his hometown in Northeast China, and he resolutely defected to the base area.

On the way, the armed traffic officer saw that he was old and mobilized a mule for him to the local villagers, but Mr. Cui Yulin refused to ride anything, and insisted: "Ladyfirst!" The mule must be given to the young woman who traveled with him to ride, and of course the young woman refused to ride.

In this way, Mr. Cui Yulin insisted on walking to Zhouzhuang on foot, like young people, over mountains and mountains, across ditches and rivers. At that time, Secretary Zhang went to greet him on behalf of the local government, and as soon as he met Mr. Cui, he said to the secretary: "A friend said to me, you can participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, but don't join the GC Party." Then he smiled at me, and his expression was clearly saying, "Haven't I defected to the party!"

High-ranking intellectuals such as Dong Luan, Wang Xizheng, and Cui Yulin left Beiping, which was ruled by the enemy and puppet, and defected to the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, which had a great impact at home and abroad. In 1946, when Marshall, Zhang Zhizhong, and Zhou Enlai respectively held a meeting in Wuhan on behalf of the U.S. government and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on military mediation, Situ Leiden humorously said to Zhou En: "Our Yenching University has provided you with many cadres, including professors such as Dong Fan (Dong Luan) and Cui Yulin. ”

In addition, Professor Nie Chongqi of Yenching University, He Qigong, President of China University, Professor Meng Zhaowei, Professor Fang Liang of Peking University School of Medicine (DPRK), Professor Li Jinjiong and Zhou Zijian of Peking University School of Engineering, and Wu Jiwen, Yu Yiqi, and Zheng Jian'an of the medical community have established contacts with our underground party and have directly participated in the anti-Japanese work or provided support and assistance. Zhang Li, a member of the Railway Academy, also united with Japan's progressive professor Yoshida Toshio. (To be continued......)
