After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, Ye Ting, who had been fierce and fierce, unexpectedly took the heavy cross of "negativity" on his back. Unwilling to give in, he angrily crossed the ocean, wandered in a foreign land, and wrote the history of "overseas Chinese". However, ten years later, he came back to the "prodigal son".

A bloody man, or not afraid of cutting off his head, not afraid of iron horse glaciers and horse leather shrouds, not afraid of all kinds of hardships, but he can't stand the unwarranted accusations and humiliation.

Ye Ting is such a bloody man.

After the failure of the Canton Uprising, the Kuomintang counter-revolutionary forces carried out an extremely cruel and barbaric massacre of the revolutionaries, and tens of thousands of heroic righteous people were killed, and hundreds of people were taken to the execution ground on one day alone.

Ye Ting saw that the uprising had irreversibly failed under complex subjective and objective conditions, and returned to the Ye Clan Ancestral Hall under the protection of the Red Guards, and then, disguised as a businessman, he hid in his mother-in-law's house in Taipingsha near Tianzi Wharf for a few days, and finally because of the white terror became more and more gloomy over the city of Guangzhou, and finally evaded the enemy's search several times alertly, and arrived safely on the steamer "Taishan".

After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, the serious setback of the revolutionary cause, and the fall of countless revolutionary soldiers and Red Guards under the enemy's guns and butcher's knives, Ye Ting, as the commander-in-chief of the uprising Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, was in a deep mood. He felt that the lessons of the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising were very profound, including the reasons for the underestimation of the Kuomintang's military strength, the elements of too high expectations for the rebel army, the inaccurate grasp of the current situation, and the lack of countermeasures for the setbacks that might be suffered in the course of the uprising. As the commander-in-chief of the insurrectionary forces, Ye Ting needs to seriously sum up and conduct deep introspection.

Probably because Ye Ting was in too much pain, plus he stayed awake almost all night for several days, hungry and full, he fell ill in bed all of a sudden, and vomited blood in a big gulp.

At this moment, the bad news reached Ye Ting's ears. As a representative sent by the party Central Committee to guide the handling of the aftermath of the Guangzhou uprising, Li Lisan, with a "leftist" appearance, accused Huang Ping, Yun Daiying, Zhou Wenyong, Ye Ting, and other major leaders in charge of the Guangzhou uprising of making the mistake of "blind activism" and engaging in "military speculation." Ye Ting was convicted of "acting negatively". It is necessary to practice the "doctrine of severe punishment" and strictly investigate the responsibility of every individual. As a result, some were "expelled from the party", some were "placed on party probation", and some were "dismissed", and the punishment given to Ye Ting was "six months of probation in the party".

Ye Ting, who was lying on the hospital bed, jumped up suddenly after hearing this, stumbled a little towards the courtyard, and accidentally hit a flower pot on the side of the steps with his right foot, and his body almost tripped and fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth and stood firm, his eyebrows suddenly twisted into a pimple, a mouthful of dantian qi rose to his chest, and he flew up and kicked the flower pot out of the way. The flower pot was innocently **, rolled a few times, and finally fell apart with a wailing "horn", and the fragments were scattered all over the ground.

Then, Ye Ting shook his body, squatted on the ground involuntarily, and spit out another mouthful of blood with a "wow". But he gritted his teeth and stood up, his chest gasping for a moment, his face drenched in sweat and a sickly flush in his paleness.

Li Xiuwen, who was holding his son in the living room, saw the whole scene, hurriedly ran to the courtyard, stood beside Ye Ting, his lips trembled in pain a few times, and he forcibly held back what he wanted to say, with tears in his eyes. She knew what Ye Ting was venting his anger on the flower pot. For this reason, she has persuaded him several times, asking him to think about it, and there are many people who have suffered injustices in history, such as Qu Yuan, who was given "Lisao" because of exile, Shang Ying, a politician in the Warring States period who changed the law twice to lay the foundation of the Qin State and was finally killed by the nobles and was split by five horses, Sima Qian, who was punished by the palace and repaired the "Historical Records", and chanted "return my old mountains and rivers, towards the sky" for the world to "serve the country with loyalty", Yue Fei, who struggled to resist Jin but was framed by the traitor Qin Hui, sang "Song of Righteousness" for the world, Wen Tianxiang, who was coerced and lured by the enemy's army and would rather die than give in, but was killed by the countrymen, and Yuan Chonghuan, a famous anti-Qing general who was executed by Ling Chi at Caishikou, Beijing, by Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty. However, the stubborn Ye Ting just couldn't swallow this grievance, and always thought that he was loyal to the revolution and had a bad brain, and the representatives sent by the Party Central Committee did not do specific analysis and research at the beginning of getting off the bus, but were subjective and arbitrary, and asked the teacher to ask for the guilt, which was really to blame others.

The actual situation is just like Li Xiuwen's judgment of Ye Ting, Ye Ting really thinks that the punishment of the "commissioners" represented by Li Lisan is "a crime that wants to be added, and there is no excuse for it." He asked himself again and again: Ye Ting, since you joined the Communist Party and became a member of the revolutionary army, whether it was to eliminate the "Shenda Group" or serve as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, to the Nanchang Uprising and the Guangzhou Uprising just now, those are all assigned by the party and tasks assigned by the party. Do you care about gains and losses? No! Not at all! Well, what does the "passivity" of an armed uprising mean? Is it resistance? Is it slack? Is it evasion? Is it yang and yin? Is the revolutionary consciousness low? Or are you greedy for life and afraid of death?! I think that Ye Ting entered the military academy at the age of 18, and now he is 32 years old, and his military career has been 14 years, and now he is also half a famous person, but how can I expect that today I was put on a "negative" hat for the revolutionary struggle, and was also punished by "six months of probation in the party", what is the difference between this and being a "deserter"? Will not the reputation of half his life be ruined in a flash, so that he will be despised, despised and ridiculed by the world? Even if I have a mouth all over my body, I can't wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River!

Ye Ting fell into this kind of mood, can he not be depressed and indignant?

"Xiyi, I heard that Guangzhou has sent a lot of spies to arrest you, I think you should go to Nanyang to hide first." The virtuous and well-informed Li Xiuwen knew that it would not be of much use to Ye Ting to speak relenting words, so he came up with the idea of mobilizing him to Singapore from a security perspective.

"I can escape the first day of junior high school, and I can escape the fifteenth!" Ye Ting said angrily.

"Let's hide for a while, let's go out and see my eldest brother Chipei, just chat with relatives and friends, and regulate my body. If the situation in the country is still like this, you will go to Europe. Didn't you want to have the opportunity to visit Moscow again? Li Xiuwen smiled lightly, and his language was warm, like spring rain and crisp.

"I'm gone, so what are you going to do?" Ye Ting turned his head to look at Li Xiuwen, and the tone of the question was obviously much more relaxed.

Li Xiuwen "fluttered" for a while: "You have been wild in the past few years, we are safe and sound every time you come back, when did you make you worried?" ”

At this moment, where to go, Ye Ting is at the crossroads of self-manipulating fate.

In the end, Ye Ting was finally moved by his wife Li Xiuwen. In order to relieve the depression in his chest, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, he arrived in Singapore by boat on the other day.

Soon after, Ye Ting was instructed by the relevant comrades of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and enlightened by his friends that instead of staying in Nanyang, it was better to go to the Soviet Union, and first, to find his colleagues in Moscow to study the gains and losses of the Guangzhou Uprising, and to directly report the truth of the Guangzhou Uprising to the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China to be held in Moscow, in order to wash away the humiliation he had suffered; Second, you can also recuperate and heal, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Ye Ting was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately returned to China, took a train through Vladivostok, and arrived in Moscow.

Things often turn out unexpectedly. After Ye Ting temporarily stayed in Moscow to write his defense materials on the motives and the beginning and end of the Canton Uprising, as well as his own obedience to the party's command, he was not only rejected and severely reprimanded by the "Oriental Department," which claimed to be the organ responsible for guiding the Chinese revolution in the Comintern, but also did not include the issue of the Guangzhou Uprising on the agenda of the meeting at the "Sixth National Congress" of the Communist Party of China due to the obstruction of the "Oriental Department."

"Too much deception!" After Ye Ting understood the truth, he angrily broke a pencil in his hand on the tabletop, the sharp end pierced his thumb, and the red blood stains flowed silently and painfully and helplessly, but Ye Ting didn't notice it, and the bloodstains slowly converged on the desktop into a huge exclamation mark-like shape, which shows that the heavens in the dark are all sensed by Ye Ting's injustice.

Ye Ting, who had no way to complain and his hopes were dashed, was furious, angry, and felt that it was difficult to return to his country and home, and in a fit of anger, he did not even look at the Kremlin and the disgraced St. Petersburg, and left Moscow with his bags, broke away from the Communist Party, and embarked on a life of exile with a sense of loss and grief as a person without party affiliation, and his foothold was Berlin, the capital of Germany.

Ye Ting, who came to Berlin, began to seem a little idle, and pessimism and hesitation seriously dominated his actions. Although his mentors and friends, such as Soong Ching-ling and Deng Yanda, who were quite familiar with him in the past, lived in Berlin like exiles, he did not go to see each other, but locked himself in his room and studied behind closed doors. The purpose of his hard work in reading the German version of the book is very clear, because he took German as an elective from the Whampoa Army Primary School to the Baoding Military Academy, and although there were frequent wars and less time to study, he never left the German version of the book by his side, so he wanted to read German books, which could be translated and published, and maybe he would become a translator.

However, as the saying goes, "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change". If a person is keen on a pursuit and has a goal to strive for, it is difficult to change his course. Even if they encounter a huge setback or failure for a while, with the calm of time and the solace of painful experience, they consciously and unconsciously return to the original trajectory of fighting for and dedicating themselves to it.

Ye Ting is like this. When he read German books, he began to "exposition," but it didn't take long for only the military volumes of the German encyclopedia and books on military engineering and military chemistry related to the specialties he studied at the Baoding Military Academy.

Actually one day, one of Ye Ting's fellow villagers came to visit him with nothing to do, and before he entered the house, he found smoke coming out of the crack in the door, and there was a pungent smell of gunsmoke, thinking that the room where Ye Ting was on fire, shouting Ye Ting's name loudly, and rushed into the house, but broke into the house to take a look, and saw that Ye Ting was sweating and self-developed and self-made blasting tests.

"You guy, you've become a black-faced bag." Ye Ting's fellow villagers saw that his face was black and white with sweat, and understood what he was doing, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him, and said, "I know that you are in Cao Ying, your heart is in Han, you are in Berlin, and you are still worried about the domestic political situation in your heart, and you are ready to return to China one day to lead the troops to fight again." ”

Ye Ting smiled slightly by default: "Sit, wait for me to wash my hands and make you tea." ”

"No, I'd like to hear how you changed your mind." Ye Ting's fellow villager is a person who is easy to get to the bottom of things, especially when he is very concerned about Ye Ting's affairs. Because he admired Ye Ting in his heart, and he was doubly proud to have Ye Ting, a fellow countryman like a famous general of the Northern Expedition.

Ye Ting never distracted from this fellow countryman. On the one hand, because he works as a chef in a Chinese-owned restaurant in Berlin, he has no political prejudices, and he can't do anything bad to himself; On the other hand, he is honest and simple, and he is eager to help others, so he likes to give him some considerate words. Ye Ting told him that through studying for a while, combined with his own experience in China, he thought about a lot of problems by drawing inferences. He walked the streets of Berlin many times, imagining that Marx and Engels instigated the proletarian revolution and gave speeches at the workers' gathering places, and experienced the difficulties of the revolution and the perseverance of the revolutionary teachers. He also stopped several times in front of the former site of the revolutionary headquarters in November 1918, recalling the majestic scene when Karl Liebknecht stood proudly on the balcony of the Imperial Palace, proclaiming the "establishment of the Free Socialist Republic" with a devastating spirit. However, even this revolution was defeated by the powerful and vicious reactionary forces of the country and aided by foreign armies, and at the same time Liebknecht and many other leaders and valiant soldiers who launched it were martyred or killed. How similar is the revolution that took place on the site in front of us to the Canton Uprising, and the leaders who instigated and directed the revolution ended up even better than the leaders of the Canton Uprising!

"So, your heart is bright?" Ye Ting's fellow villager smiled like a flower on his face and asked happily.

"It's much brighter."

"I heard that there is a man named Mao ** in China who has established a base in Jinggangshan, and there is also a man named Zhu De who studied in Germany and went to Jinggangshan with a team of people to meet with Mao's team, and also established the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Chiang Kai-shek sent heavy troops to try to destroy them, but they were all defeated, I don't know if it was true or not. The fellow countryman looked at Ye Ting as he spoke, in an inquiring tone.

"What you say is true!" Ye Ting answered the countryman's inquiry in a decisive manner.

Judging from Ye Ting's emotional emotion, the vigorous development and growth of the revolutionary forces in full swing in China made him the most concerned and the most intense ideological struggle, and he used it as an incomparably sharp scalpel to analyze his own thoughts and even his soul.

Yes, not only Zhu De and Chen Yi, who led and commanded the "August 1" Nanchang Uprising with him, did not sink after the defeat, and were not overwhelmed by various big hats such as "blind activism" and "military speculation", but bravely faced the defeat, learned lessons and experience from the failure, and took the remaining team to fight thousands of miles to Jinggangshan to join the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Mao **; Moreover, what dwarfed him and made him ashamed of himself was that compared with He Long, who had a similar temperament, he said that he would definitely "make a comeback" in the future, and as expected, through hard work, a workers' and peasants' revolutionary armed forces were also raised in the border areas of Honghu and Hunan-Hubei and opened up a base area.

Anything is afraid of analogies. It can be said that it is not better than not knowing, and it is more frightening than not. Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, He Long, Chen Yi, etc., who participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Guangzhou Uprising, were never regarded as defeated generals and suffered reprimands, punishments, and setbacks. But they are not as indignant as you Ye Ting, feel aggrieved, resentful, disappointed, and evasive, and then act rashly, and even lose faith. In order to make a revolution, especially to overthrow the old forces that are like "a hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff," it is not something that can be accomplished overnight and can be won in battle, but it will certainly have to go through the ups and downs of countless struggles, defeats, struggles, defeats, and finally complete victory. And as a revolutionary, you must also have the quality of not being afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of failure, and indomitable. It is not only a question of one's temperament, but above all the question of the revolution as incomparably noble and incomparably sacred.

Ye Ting's dissection of his soul confirmed more and more that he was a hero.

Heroes are not only capable of creating the glory of victory, but also dare to torture their own souls and admit their flaws and mistakes. Volume 3 of the "Discipline and Customs Testament" says: "No sage is a person, and no one can do wrong." However, it is not terrible to have a "pass", what is terrible is to be obsessed, to know that the "pass" does not change, or to slump and stubbornly lose face.

Ye Ting, who extricated himself from depression, in order to create a field experience of studying more German editions of military theory books and striving to go to several surrounding countries for investigations, once opened a small restaurant in Berlin, became a chef himself, wore a white sanitary hat, and hung an apron on his chest, swept away the reserve of the famous generals of the Northern Expedition in the past, and carried a stir-fry spoon in his hand, fried and fried, and also took the initiative to serve food to the guests.

Ye Ting not only opened a small restaurant in Berlin, but also set up a fruit stand on the streets of Paris, the capital of France, and sold tofu and mung bean sprouts in Vienna, the capital of Austria. It is said that few people in Vienna have eaten mung bean sprouts in the past, Ye Ting in order to sell the mung bean sprouts from the Chinese as soon as possible, and make foreigners like mung bean sprouts, he made a small pot of exquisite and delicious mung bean sprouts in advance and put it on several small plates, and asked passers-by to taste it. Every day, dozens of people say "0K!" after tasting it. On the one hand, he stretched out his thumb to Ye Ting, so that more and more people bought mung bean sprouts day by day, and Ye Ting's business became more and more prosperous day by day.

"Martyrdom does not survive, and the Tao shines in the light through the ages."

Ye Ting was secretly killed by Chiang Kai-shek soon after hearing that his classmate and friend of the Baoding Military Academy was also exiled in Europe, Deng Yanda, who returned to China with the ambition of serving the country, and the revolutionary wave of the communist rebellion against the Japanese invaders was surging, and Chiang Kai-shek, the one-man thief, threw out the reactionary policy of "fighting outside must first settle inside", passive anti-Japanese, positive, the Chinese nation is in a moment of crisis, and can no longer hold back the strong feelings of "husband should be for the country" and the pride of "men have their own defense, but they can not be killed", and immediately packed up, He was determined to return to the disaster-stricken motherland where he was born and raised, and plunged into the harsh and noble struggle to resist Japan and save the country.
