Life of the characters

Yang Qiqing (1911-1978) was born in Pingjiang, Hunan Province. When Teng Daiyuan and Peng Dehuai led the Pingjiang uprising, he took the lead in attacking Pingjiang county. He joined the Communist Party in 1929 and then joined the Red Army. In May 1932, Yang Qiqing was recommended to the training class for the security personnel of the political security bureau. From then on, he stepped on the defense front and became one of the first cadres of the Communist Party to engage in public security work. After taking part in the Long March, Yang Qiqing became the director of the Security Bureau of the 15th Red Army Corps, and hosted a large-scale training course for security personnel in Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province, which was known as Sanyuan training team in history. This was the first time in the history of the party. In the ever-increasing wave of anti rebellion and anti AB regiment in the former Soviet Area, Yang Qiqing took a clear-cut stand in upholding principles, seeking truth from facts, and pacifying many wronged comrades. During the Anti Japanese War, Yang Qiqing served as the head of the field Political Department of the Eighth Route Army. He further summed up the historical lessons and pointed out that we should have a correct assessment and understanding of the enemy's spy activities, and we should not turn a blind eye to them or exaggerate them too much. Thinking that "agents are like hemp" and attributing all problems to the destruction of the enemy will inevitably lead to enlarged mistakes and harm good people. In the work of eliminating traitors, we must distinguish the nature of the problem, correctly implement the policy, "we can't grasp it with one eyebrow and one beard", and we must not let a spy off or wrongly treat a good person. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the reconnaissance work, never substitute interrogation for reconnaissance, let alone credulous confession. He also specifically pointed out: "the secret agents and spies who infiltrate our internal affairs are very secret. There will not be a huge organization, and it is impossible to contact many people. If we think that the more relations the criminals give, the better, it is easy to make enlarged mistakes." In the investigation of a so-called case in which hundreds of people participated in the "anti Communist corps", Yang Qiqing believed that there was no problem in the history of the leader of the "corps", and there was no evidence for the identification of his actual identity. It was very doubtful that such a huge anti Communist force suddenly emerged in the base area. After his own investigation, it was confirmed that the whole case was artificially created by a preliminary examiner who used a stick to extort confessions. The so-called "wicker stick is truth" is totally unnecessary. According to this principle, Yang Qiqing has solved many "strange cases", "doubtful cases" and "unjust cases". For example, when dealing with the case that the head of Xiangyuan County Anti Japanese democratic government of Shaanxi Province was killed in the countryside, the director of the Public Security Bureau of the county was angry and arrested more than 40 "secret agents and traitors" headed by the Secretary, all of whom were cadres in the county government. Yang Qiqing first doubted so many traitors, and then organized a joint trial of the public security bureau directors of neighboring counties, and found evidence of extorting confessions. Then, according to careful on-the-spot investigation, he confirmed that the statement of the county magistrate's security guard was full of flaws. Through the trial of the security guard, he found that he shot a pheasant and injured the county magistrate by mistake. In order to avoid responsibility, he fabricated a lie about the secret agent's assassination of the county magistrate. But Yang Qiqing didn't give up. He also had doubts about the motive of Xiangyuan County Public Security Bureau Director's wanton involvement. The secret investigation proved that the director was the traitor under the command of Wang's puppet agent, and his motive was to create chaos and cooperate with the Japanese puppet forces. After finding out the real murderer of "Peng De Wei Hsun" and "Yang de Shu Qi Hsun" who committed suicide, they found out the real murderer. In 1946, Yang Qiqing became the Minister of the Social Department of the Central Bureau of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan. At the beginning of 1949, he was Vice Minister of public security of the Central Military Commission and the only vice minister. After the founding of new China, he successively served as Deputy Secretary of the Party group, deputy minister and director of the first Bureau (Political Security Bureau) of the Ministry of public security, and director of the Security Department of the General Political Department of the PLA. He directed several major battles in the anti espionage struggle before and after the founding of the people's Republic of China. It includes the detection of the spy case of the Beiping technical column of the secret service bureau, the bombing of Tiananmen Square by Italian spy Li Anton and Japanese spy takaichi Yamaguchi, the assassination of Mao Zedong by Cui duo, an agent of the secret service bureau of the national government, and the attack of the Northeast technical column of the Chinese Kuomintang on Mao Zedong's special train to visit the Soviet Union. Yang Qiqing, Li Guangxiang, Cao Chunzhi, etc. worked out the idea of starting from the investigation of secret agents' economic sources in the case of Beiping hidden radio station of the Security Bureau, and expanded the investigation scope from Beiping to Tianjin, and found out the hidden secret agent Ji Zhaoxiang. In the work of defending Mao Zedong's visit to the Soviet Union, Yang Qiqing and others summed up a whole set of experience in the work of defending the special train, which became the standard of the central security work. In 1952, because the main leaders of the former Central South Ministry of public security had problems, they also made enlarged mistakes in the inventory. Seven cadres of the former Central South Ministry of public security committed suicide in succession, which made people panic. In the face of danger, Yang Qiqing was appointed secretary of the Party group and Minister of the Ministry of public security of the military and political Commission of the Central South Bureau. He also adhered to the principle of reviewing the case of Qian Yimin, Vice Minister of public security and political commissar of Central South China, which had been "finalized" by Luo Ruiqing, Minister of public security. He cleared his suspicion of "corruption" in a timely manner. He also vindicated the so-called "Gaolun case", restored the normal order of Central South public security, and launched an effective struggle to eliminate opium. In view of the problem that many local, city and county public security departments in Guangdong are eager to make great achievements and arrest criminals, Yang Qiqing took emergency measures and dispatched more than 100 public security cadres from Henan, Hubei and other provinces to Guangdong, which changed the situation in Guangdong. He also worked closely with Qin Yingji, director of the Guangxi Public Security Department, to basically eliminate the banditry in Guangxi. In 1954, Yang Qiqing was transferred back to the Ministry of public security as Deputy Secretary of the Party group and vice minister. In 1955, in order to sabotage the Communist Party's first participation in the Bandung International Conference, Taiwan's information administration created the Kashmir Princess incident. Although Zhou Enlai was safe and sound, it also increased the pressure on the security work of the Asian African Conference. Intelligence shows that Taiwan's intelligence administration sent another group of secret service assassins and a 26 member assassin group to infiltrate Indonesia to attack Zhou Enlai during the Asian African Conference. Yang Qiqing was responsible for the security of the Chinese delegation, and he stayed up all night for seven days. He prepared three cars of the same color and model with the national flag of the people's Republic of China. On the road, he constantly instructed the three cars to exchange driving formation, and changed them at will, so that the secret service agents of Taiwan Security Bureau could not find out the details. Through the Indonesian government, he took the initiative to search and arrest 26 members of the assassin's group, which made it impossible for them to attack. As a result, he defeated the assassination plan of Taiwan's intelligence administration. Yang Qiqing is also known as "a super shield" and "the shield of the Republic". After returning home after the completion of the task, Yang Qiqing fell into the trouble of not taking sleeping pills. He was elected to the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1956. In the process of adhering to the principle, Yang Qiqing offended Xie Fuzhi because of his disagreement with Xie Fuzhi, the Minister of public security who respected the class struggle thought; he offended Jiang Qing because he prevented Li Ganqing from living in Zhongnanhai by investigating the historical problems of Li Ganqing, Jiang Qing's elder brother; he offended Kang Sheng by investigating the suicide case of Su Mei, Kang Sheng's wife and sister, and became several "central leaders."“ The people I hate the most. After the Cultural Revolution broke out in 1966, Yang Qiqing tried his best to protect the unjust public security cadres, but he was framed and persecuted by Xie Fuzhi and the gang of four. He was named "Luo Ruiqing's black cadre", "the black team of the Ministry of public security" and "the executive asset rank" for the crimes of "stealing the archives of the central archives", "conducting counter revolutionary investigation", "shielding Liu Shaoqi from being arrested and rebellious" The second level is the reactionary line. in March 1968, he was arrested and put into the Qincheng prison built under his own charge. He was detained for five years for examination, and suffered fascist torture and devastation. His lungs were severely injured and he often coughed up blood. The administrators of Qincheng prison not only refused to treat him, but also falsely accused him of "pretending to be ill". In November 1978, Yang Qiqing died of long-term persecution. He was 67 years old. In 1979, Yang Qiqing was approved as a revolutionary martyr. The "review conclusion on Comrade Yang Qiqing" of the Party group of the Ministry of public security confirmed that Yang Qiqing's several major charges were pure planting, framing and political persecution.
