Chapter 190: Suffering

My father was a disciple of Erwin Freindrich, a disciple and follower of Einstein, and the author of the book "The Foundations of Einstein's Theory of Gravitation", the Thai translation of this book is the work of my father, and he was also the first person to introduce the theory of relativity to Thailand.

But then the situation changed, and the huge Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, Denmark, could not accommodate my father's desk. He came to the United States from Europe and met my mother in New York. My mother introduced him to a strange man from their family, and under the influence of his mother and the strange man, my father soon joined their organization. In 1990, he was sent by the organization to return to Thailand from the United States to inspect and guide the work, help the temporary left-behind team in Thailand to reorganize and restore the organization, and develop activists among the people.

My father traveled by train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and then by ship to Chiang Rai, where the temporary team was organized. Through several days of investigation, he collected the opinions of the local people in Chiang Rai on the organization, dealt with various errors within the organization, and reported the handling to the headquarters in the United States.

For the sake of safety, my father shaved off the long beard he had cherished for many years, changed into the clothes of a local, put on a peaked cap, disguised himself as a businessman, and accompanied by Lin Qian, the leader of the left-behind organization, arrived in Mae Phat Lang County, Chiang Rai, and lived in a shop called "Jiutian Hotel" on Dongmenwai Street. Subsequently, Lin Qian went to Hou Jiaqi, the person in charge of the temporary organization of Meifa Nong County, and decided to hold a meeting of all the members of the organization at a temple near the outskirts of the city the next day.

That afternoon, my father and Lin Qian came to the Mae Fa Nong Wetland Park, and the two kept a certain distance, pretending not to know each other, pretending to visit near the general's tomb, and vigilantly watching the movements around them. At this time, Li and Qi, who were contacted by Hou Jiaqi in a single line, came to the meeting. They were passing by the Mae Phat Lane County Management Bureau when they were spotted by the bad guys and immediately reported to the police station. More than a dozen police officers from the police station, armed with live ammunition, followed them to a nearby temple. My father noticed that something was wrong and was about to avoid it, but the police had already surrounded them, and several black guns were pointed at them. Because Lin Qian came late, he saw that a nearby temple was arresting people, so he turned around and left, and took a boat to Chiang Rai overnight. Four people, his father, Hou Jiaqi, Liu, and Wang, were arrested. The police searched $800 from my father, but found nothing.

The next day, the Mae Phat Nong County Police Department formed a so-called "makeshift court" to interrogate the four of them. Director and Judge Nahu presided over the trial, and first interrogated Liu and Wang. Framed by bad actors, they are forced to admit that they are members of the organization. Lin Qian was tortured by the police to extract a confession, and he also admitted that he was a member of the organization, and in order to protect his father, he flatly denied knowing his father. Finally, the father was arraigned. The father was calm and calm, because the enemy did not find any suspicious evidence during the body search, and he was arrested before the meeting, and Liu and Wang did not know him.

The presiding judge asked, "What's your name?" "Getussan!" This is a pseudonym given by my father after he returned to Thailand. "Where are you, what profession, what are you doing here?" "A native of Nonthaburi who works as a professional in a company on Long Island in the United States, and comes to Mae Phat to discuss business." This company on Long Island was opened by my mother, Kim Soon's third brother.

"Why did you go to a nearby temple to discuss business?" "The first time I came to Mae Fa Lane, I walked around the places of interest in Mae Fa Lane, but I was arrested for no reason." The police's preliminary trial did not reveal anything famous, and they were tired after a day of tossing.

The next day, the father was interrogated, and the police used severe torture to extract a confession, pressing him on his calf with a wooden bar with a thick bowl, and four big men stood at both ends of the wooden bar, stepping on the bars so hard that he fainted, and a bucket of cold water woke him up, and continued to interrogate, tossing for several hours, he still persevered and refused to change his words.

The police interrogated him several times, but to no avail, they had to take him to Chiang Rai as a "state suspect". On the way to escort him, he happened to meet a friend named Tan Song when he was in middle school in Bangkok. Taking advantage of the police's lack of attention, my father sent a message to his cousin Wu Xiangkun, who was the vice chairman of the Bangkok Kingfa Forestry Company. After Wu Xiangkun heard the news, he hurriedly telegraphed his mother in the United States.

My father left the United States and returned to Thailand, but my mother was always worried about his safety. On several occasions he was contacted by phone, and the traffic officer said that he had sent back a report last month and had lost contact with him. I received a telegram from my cousin, asking my mother to come to Chiang Rai as soon as possible. With the help of the organization, my mother and my eldest sister, who was just six months old, landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport on a family cargo plane, and the mother and daughter rushed to Chiang Rai in an open-top truck. The mother was so anxious that the eldest sister's condition worsened at this time, and she was rushed to the hospital for rescue, but she died in the hospital due to the ineffective rescue of acute pneumonia. My mother was in a hurry and fell ill. discussed with his cousin how to rescue his father, Wu Xiangkun thought that his father had never revealed his identity, so he went to Hei Mayun, a lawyer who was well-known in Bangkok at the time and his father's distant brother-in-law, and after discussion between the three, they decided to take a normal judicial route to rescue his father.

My mother and Hei Ma Yun came to Chiang Rai. Through his old classmates, Hei managed to transfer his father's case from the police station to the Chiang Rai Intermediate Court, where he was detained at the Liuyunpo Detention Center. Within a few days, the court held a trial. I saw my father shackled and handcuffed, escorted by the bailiff, and limped into the dock. I wasn't born yet, and my mother told me that later.

As usual, the judge asked the defendant about his name, excuse, and occupation, and the father repeated it according to the original confession. The judge shouted: "Getussan! You are plotting to cause chaos and endanger the country, and you have brought it from the truth! "I am a law-abiding businessman, how can I plot to cause chaos and endanger the country?" My father refuted it with reason. The judge then asked, "Why did you go to a nearby temple for a meeting?" "I went to a nearby temple to visit places of interest, where did I attend any meeting?" It's just chasing after the wind! At this time, Hei Mayun, the lawyer who was the client, stood up and questioned the judge: "This plot to cause chaos and endanger the country is so big, the court should present evidence!" The judge was questioned with no reason, and the trial was temporarily adjourned on the pretext that the case was serious.

After the adjournment, Hei Mayun said to his mother: "To prepare for the court to confront and collect evidence, you first rush back to the Bangkok Kingfa Forestry Company and discuss with your third brother how to deal with it!" ”

Early the next morning, my mother rushed back to Bangkok alone and asked her third brother to try to arrange for her to temporarily act as the owner of the forestry company to cope with the court investigation. Sure enough, soon after, the Chiang Rai Intermediate Court sent people to Bangkok to confront and collect evidence. According to her father's confession, her mother said calmly: "Getusan is a staff member of our company, and I sent him to Mae Phat to collect debts. ”

A month later, the Chiang Rai Intermediate Court released the father on bail on the grounds that "there was insufficient evidence to open the case", and he was guaranteed by the Bangkok Kingfa Forestry Company. Half a year later, my father returned to Bangkok after six months in prison to reunite with us. At this time, the mother told him with tears in her eyes: "My daughter died of acute pneumonia due to the wind and cold on the train." I'm sorry for you for not having a good baby! The father hugged his mother tightly and said bitterly, "You have suffered! Child, this is all suffering to rescue me, I am sorry for the child! Then he comforted his mother and said: "There is a price to be paid for everything, and how many comrades who have made achievements have sacrificed for the revolution, and we should always remember them!" ”

Within a few days, they returned to the United States and reported to the organization all the circumstances of their trip to Thailand. The organization praised his father, and he returned to a new career.
