Chapter 296: Bridge Prison

Those who escaped were temporarily at peace and had a stable life.

And those who stayed in the magic capital, every day saw Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets, and some people broke into private houses to kill people and loot, one by one, the rumors of the grass and trees were soldiers, everyone's hearts hung in the air, not knowing if they could see the sun tomorrow!

In this case, Qin Di and Yan Xue did not leave, they robbed a number of banks separately, and then continued to stay in the magic capital like no one, watching the ravages of the Japanese army with a cold eye, wanting to witness this history!

After the Japanese army occupied the magic capital, it not only looted British and American enterprises, but also dealt a heavy blow to China's private enterprises.

For example, the famous Rong family also suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.

As early as 1941, Japanese businessmen coveted Rong's Yarn Factory, and Wang Puppet Industrial Department sent personnel to negotiate with Rong Desheng, asking him to sell Shen Xinyi and No. 8 Factories to Japan's Toyota Yarn Factory, which was immediately rejected by Yan Cibai. Wang's puppet foreign minister, Chu Minyi, had no choice but to come to Shanghai in person and invite Rong Desheng for an interview at the International Hotel. Rong Desheng did not go, and his son Erren went on his behalf, explaining that he would not change his original intention and not sell his factory and personality. Later, Chu Minyi brazenly said: "Half of China's country is given to the Japanese, so why bother with the two factories of Xiaoshenxin." And threatened: "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!" Rong Desheng heard this, and said awe-inspiringly: "I would rather break the jade than be complete." ”

After the Japanese army occupied the concession, Rong's enterprises were used as "enemy property", many factories became barracks for the Japanese army, and most of the assets were occupied by the Japanese army. After this blow, Rong Zongjing became depressed and fell ill and unfortunately passed away.

The Japanese also stepped up their efforts to enslave the common people in the magic capital, and even ordered every household to hand over their radios, remove the "microwave" channel, and then stamp it and take it back, so that the activities of the military commanders and the Great Red Party in the magic capital could be prevented.

At this time, the sixth singer of the Republic of China, the controversial Li Xianglan, finally came to the magic capital from the Northeast!

Moreover, she also took the initiative to contact EMI and wanted to sign a contract as its singer.

Zhou Tianlin, the manager of Baidai Company, was surprised by her singing voice and wanted to sign a long-term contract with her, so he called Qin Di: "Sir, I saw a genius singer today, this person is named Li Xianglan, do you want to come and meet her?"

Qin Di hesitated for a moment and said, "This person has a complicated background, I don't want to see her." ”

Zhou Tianlin said: "Sir, she came alone, and she doesn't seem to have any background. ”

Qin Di said: "You only know the situation in the magic capital, and you don't know her identity in the pseudo "Manchurian Film Association". She was favored by the Japanese, and vigorously packaged, launched as a Chinese singer, and sang "Fisherman's Girl", "Zhaojun's Resentment" and "Meng Jiangnu" in the new program "Manchurian New Songs" on Fengtian Radio Station...... In other words, she is a sugar-coated cannonball rolled out by the Japanese to whitewash the peace!"

Zhou Tianlin was taken aback: "Is she a Japanese spy?"

Qin Di said: "She is not a spy, just an ignorant female singer who was used by the Japanese military." ”

"I see...... Then don't sign it, right?"

"Sign! Why don't you sign? But every song she sings must be carefully checked! The agreement must be clearly written, and she is not allowed to sing Japanese songs! There must be no flattering elements! In particular, she must not cover the song 'He Rijun will come again'!"

"Yes, I see, sir. ”

Li Xianglan in history was born in Dengta City, Liaoning Province, and her ancestral home is Saga Prefecture, Japan, and her real name is Shuko Yamaguchi. Because of the singing He Rijun came again, the movie "サヨンの Bell" (Sha Yun Zhi Zhong) was screened in Taiwan, Manchuria, Japan, Shanghai, North China and other places, after Japan surrendered and Manchukuo was dissolved, she was charged with traitor and arrested by the government of the Republic of China. Later, however, he was acquitted and repatriated to Japan because he proved his Japanese identity.

In 1974, Li Xianglan was persuaded by Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka to run for the House of Councillors, where she had been a member of the House of Councillors for 18 years.

In 1975, when Li Xianglan was passing through Beijing for a visit, she was received by Liao Chengzhi, president of the China-Japan Friendship Association. In 1978, she visited Beijing, Modu, Harbin and Changchun again.

In 2005, Li Xianglan, who was already 85 years old, publicly published a long article admonishing Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi not to visit the Yasukuni Shrine, which enshrines Hideki Tojo and other Class-A war criminals, because "that would deeply hurt the hearts of Chinese."

In 2014, Li Xianglan passed away at the age of 94. A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said: "Ms. Li Xianglan supported and participated in the cause of China-Japan friendship after the war, and made positive contributions to this end, and we mourn her passing." ”

As early as the period of the Beiyang government, there were three major prisons in the southeast, one in Jinling Laohuqiao, one in Suzhou Shishikou, and one in the Modu Tilanqiao.

Tilanqiao Prison, after the Japanese army captured the magic capital, was also known as "Bridge Prison".

The Bridge Prison is like a dark tomb, and no human voice can be heard from day to night.

Detainees are not allowed to speak, and if they do, they are severely beaten.

Once, the Japanese guards noticed someone whispering in cell No. 2 and went in to look for it, but no one admitted it. The guard used the "joint sitting method", and he punched everyone in the head several times, and some people were bleeding and teeth fell out on the spot. The Japanese guards did not give up, and they insisted on finding the person who spoke. There are two friends who can't stand it and resolutely stand up. In the end, the two were pulled out, stripped naked, and knelt on the ground. The Japanese guards untied their belts and violently relieved their hatred.

This memory was later published in a newspaper under the headline "Fifty Days of Hell on Earth".

Daqiao Prison has imprisoned many Chinese celebrities.

Zhou Shougeng's wife, Xu Guangping, was imprisoned from December 1941 to March 1, 1942, and was escorted out of Daqiao Prison and moved to the Wang puppet spy agency at No. 76 Sifeier Road, Huxi.

Xu Guangping's deepest impression of the days of the Daqiao concentration camp was that the sky was torn apart, the joints were sour, and two horseshoe-shaped iron traps were put in his hands, connected to two wires, and connected to a six-inch-high wooden box. The Japanese military police used more than 10 electrocution sentences against Xu Guangping. From the fifth day of her imprisonment, she was beaten and kicked, stripped of her coat, and whipped from her skin. The Japanese also threatened to put her naked on Nanjing Road to make a fool of her.

Later, Mr. Zhou's Japanese friend Uchiyama Wanzo came forward, and Xu Guangping was released on bail and returned home. Four years later, she wrote about her 76-day prison experience as "Before and After the Disaster", which was serialized in the weekly "Democracy" in 1946, and the following year it was printed as a single book by the Modu Publishing Company.

The educator Xia Yazun was also imprisoned by the Japanese in Daqiao Prison. He was old, his body was weak, and his high social influence made the Japanese have some scruples about not letting him suffer from flesh and skin, but they came up with a plan.

One day, a Japanese writer knelt at the door of Xia Qizun's cell, claiming to be a student, hoping that the teacher would appreciate his face and go with him to the hotel outside to have a meal and apologize. Xia Yazun reluctantly agreed. The Japanese military police made him change his clothes and took him and the "students" to the concession by car. It's a very luxurious Japanese restaurant. During the banquet, the Japanese writers were very respectful and warmly entertained. Xia Yazun is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has already understood a little in his heart: he is not well-intentioned. He said in one word: "Thank you for your hospitality, but when will you let me out?" The Japanese writer hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "As long as the teacher is willing to take up the position, or agrees to put up a name, he can go home now." Xia Yazun glared angrily, slapped the table and left the table: "I'd rather sit through the prison." Send me to my cell. After being rescued by Japanese friends such as Uchiyama Wanzo, Xia Yazun was finally released.

Li Bai and Qiu Huiying, a "husband and wife" from the intelligence agency of the Great Red Party in the Demon Capital, were also imprisoned here. They were taken to Bridge Prison and interrogated separately. After being tortured, he was finally released. Years later, the story was made into a household name, The Waves That Never Die.
