There is a leftist progressive artist with a personable demeanor and superb acting skills, who not only made significant contributions to the development of mainland drama art, but also used drama to effectively fight back against the Kuomintang's "cultural encirclement and suppression", he is China's "drama emperor" Jin Shan. As the emperor of dramas, Jin Shan is often despised in his personal emotional life, what is going on?
Later generations had a high evaluation of Jinshan at both the artistic and political levels, but they didn't know that he had cheated twice: during his marriage to Zhang Ruifang, who was also a drama actor, he cheated on Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao's adopted daughter, "Red Princess" Sun Weishi; Shortly after he married Sun Weishi, while going to North Korea to collect materials, he cheated on Kim Il Sung's female secretary. Because of Kim San's cheating on Kim Il Sung's secretary, he was expelled from the party and sent to labor, which indirectly led to the miserable life of Kim Sun and his wife. After Sun Weishi's death, Jin Shan married Sun Weishi's sister Sun Xinshi, because Jin Shan's romance is famous, there are even rumors that he hooked up with his sister-in-law, which is quite a bit of a late festival.
Many progressives like Jin Shan are famous and outstanding figures in history, but in terms of private life, they are quite criticized. In fact, in modern history, due to the limitations of the concept of the times, it is not very meaningful to use modern concepts to criticize the private lives of some celebrities, and many of them will not pay a great price for their private life problems. Despite this, there are also cases of people who have paid a heavy price after the peach incident and problems in their private lives......
Forced marriage failed to kill a progressive young woman, and was later shot
Huang Kegong, who performed heroically in the Battle of Loushanguan in the second crossing of Chishui, was the captain of the 15th team of the second phase of the People's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University of the Communist Party of China and the captain of the 6th team of the third phase. In 1937, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Kegong was sentenced to death by Chairman Mao Zedong in a letter, which originated from a serious misdiscipline.
At the age of 26, Huang Kegong became acquainted with Liu Qian, a progressive young woman who came to Yan'an to study at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. But as the two got to know each other better, this kind of affection gradually began to fade, because Liu Qian found that she and Huang Kegong had a lot of conflicts in marriage and love concepts, when Huang Kegong was 26 years old and Liu Qian was only 16 years old; And because the ratio of men and women was very high at that time, Huang Kegong was very possessive of Liu Qian, and even Liu Qian said a few more words to male classmates would cause Huang Kegong's jealousy, and Liu Qian finally decided to break up with Huang Kegong. Huang Kegong did not agree, and wrote three letters asking for peace, but Liu Qian did not reply.
On October 5, 1937, Huang Kegong asked Liu Qian to come out to meet and mentioned marriage to the other party again. Liu Qian clearly told Huang Kegong that he didn't want to get married, Huang Kegong was very angry when he heard it, and he couldn't accept the facts, so he killed Liu Qian with a gun. The next day, Liu Qian's body was found, and Luo Ruiqing, who was the principal of Liu Qian's school at the time, began to investigate the matter, and finally found out that it was Huang Kegong who killed the murderer. In the face of conclusive evidence, Huang Kegong not only did not deny it, but also said confidently: "Liu Qian ruined the marriage contract and humiliated me." ”
Huang Kegong's incident caused a great sensation at the time, some people insisted that Huang Kegong should be executed, and some people thought that Huang Kegong should be allowed to make meritorious service in the war, because it was on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, and the country needed a general. The reactionary forces of the Kuomintang also wantonly distorted and propagated this matter and constantly put pressure on the party and its leaders. In the end, in response to this incident, Chairman Mao Zedong expressed his attitude in a letter to Lei Jingtian, and wanted to punish Huang Kegong with death. The letter basically means that Comrade Huang Kegong has indeed made meritorious contributions in the past, and no one can bear to punish him with capital punishment. But it is also true that he committed a serious crime that is difficult to pardon, and it is precisely because Huang Kegong is not an ordinary person but a Red Army that he should be dealt with in strict accordance with military discipline when he makes mistakes, and he was executed because of the consequences of his own actions. And at the end of the letter, Chairman Mao warned all Communist Party members to take Huang Kegong's incident as a lesson from the past. As soon as the execution was carried out, the common people all praised our party's strict law and discipline.
Nie Rongzhen loved the general and was shot for cheating and killing his pregnant wife
A similar case occurred at the end of 1947, when the War of Liberation was deepening, when Chairman Mao Zedong ordered the shooting of a high-ranking general who had made great achievements during the War of Resistance Against Japan. This person is Huang Shoufa, chief of staff of the Jizhong Military Region.
Huang Shoufa participated in the revolution for nearly 20 years, not only in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also participated in the 25,000-mile Long March. According to the verdict against Huang Shoufa in the "Jinchaji Daily", although Huang Shoufa's revolutionary achievements are not small, his style of life is not very good, and he has been criticized and punished for domestic violence against his wife before he killed him.
In the autumn of 1946, Huang Shoufa hooked up with the family's young nanny and committed adultery with her. At that time, Huang Shoufa's wife He Yin was already pregnant, and when she discovered Huang Shoufa's adultery with her nanny, her relationship with Huang Shoufa began to deteriorate. Huang Shoufa and the nanny were in love, held a grudge against his wife, and even wanted to murder He Yin during the Chinese New Year at the end of 1946, instructing the guard Bian Zhenhai next to him to kill her. Bian Zhenhai did not listen to him and persuaded him not to kill his wife, and was criticized by Huang Shoufa. Two days later, Huang Shoufa finally shot his wife to death with his own hands, and the fetus in his wife's womb was also killed. After killing his wife, Huang Shoufa even disguised the murder scene as a suicide, but was quickly found out by the relevant departments.
Huang Shoufa's incident caused a lot of controversy in the army, and from the perspective of military discipline, he should be sentenced to death, but in the face of such an old Red Army with profound qualifications, there was no consensus on whether he should be punished for his crimes or sentenced to death, and Nie Rongzhen, Yang Chengwu and others, who had a deep intersection with him, were also very reluctant to him. But Nie, Yang and others all had party spirit after all, and at the end of 1947, Nie Rongzhen reported the matter to Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao Zedong immediately and decisively instructed: "Huang Shoufa's problem cannot be forgiven, and he must be executed." In this way, Huang Shoufa received the execution he deserved.
The founding lieutenant general cheated on his sister-in-law and was once removed from his post and expelled from the party
There is a founding lieutenant general in the history of the mainland party, he joined the army at the age of 16, became a division commander at the age of 20, and was awarded the title of founding lieutenant general at the age of 40. He is Wang Jinshan, the prototype of Li Yunlong, the actor in the famous TV series "Bright Sword". When he was 22 years old, he was wounded in a battle and was admitted to the hospital for treatment, where he met Han Xiuyan, a young and beautiful nurse in the hospital, and the two fell in love with each other and spent the ups and downs of the war together. Who knew that the happy family of this troubled couple and six children gradually cracked in peacetime.
Wang Jinshan is a talent, eloquent, and in a high position at a young age, which naturally attracts the admiration of many young girls, including Han Xiuyan's sister. After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Jinshan failed to resist the temptation and cheated on Han Xiuyan's sister, which was known to Han Xiuyan. One is a husband who has shared hardships and hardships, and the other is a sister who has deep brotherly affection, and the entanglement and pain in Han Xiuyan's heart can be imagined. Eventually, she decided to file a complaint with the organization to save the crumbling family. In fact, Han Xiuyan didn't think about how to take revenge on Wang Jinshan, but just wanted to use the power of the organization to make her husband repent, but Wang Jinshan not only didn't know how to repent, but also directly wanted to divorce Han Xiuyan.
The organization naturally knew who was right and who was wrong, and at that time, it cracked the problem of work style, resolutely resisted the trend in the army that "if the revolution succeeds, you must change your wife," Wang Jinshan was punished: He was dismissed from the post of deputy commander of the large military region, demoted to a deputy military post administratively, expelled from the party, and transferred to a certain farm in Henan as deputy director. As soon as the punishment was reached, Han Xiuyan's sister also left Wang Jinshan. It was not until 14 years later that Wang Jinshan had the opportunity to return to work in the military region.
The longest-serving president of Peking University in history has a bleak future due to marital problems
Jiang Menglin is a famous educator and politician in modern Chinese history, he is a student of Cai Yuanpei, the first Minister of Education of the Republic of China, and the longest-serving president of Peking University in the history of Peking University. In this way, he not only affected his career because of his cheating partner, but also because of marital problems, and his evening was bleak, and he lost both people and money, and the price was not unheavy.
During his marriage to his first wife Sun Yushu, Jiang Menglin fell in love with his friend's widow Tao Zenggu on the grounds of taking care of his friend's widow Tao Zenggu and cheated on Tao Zenggu. After the derailment, Jiang Menglin used the pursuit of free love as an excuse, completely ignoring his wife, who was also harmed by an arranged marriage, to divorce his wife by agreement, and abandoned his three children, and said affectionately at the wedding: "Because I love my brother, I love the person he loves more, and I love her even more, so that I can be worthy of my deceased friend." This incident caused a lot of controversy at the time, and even Jiang Menglin was kicked out of Peking University because of Tao Zenggu. In 1949, when the Kuomintang fell, Jiang Menglin fled to Taiwan with Tao Zenggu, and the three children he had with Sun Yuhua were unwilling to follow him. Until Tao Zenggu's death in 1958, the two had been living a loving life, and this matter was not mentioned for the time being.
Two years after Tao Zenggu's death, Jiang Menglin was in his 70s at the time, and he fell in love with a celebrity named Xu Xianle. Jiang Menglin's love for Xu Xianle was uncontrollable, and his dedication to her was so much that his friend Hu Shi couldn't stand it, and Hu Shi also wrote a letter to persuade Jiang Menglin not to marry Xu Xianle. In Hu Shi's letter to Jiang Menglin, Ms. Xu Xianle obviously only wants Jiang Menglin's money, and in order not to make her friends pay a heavy price in the future, it is best to stop the precipice as soon as possible. Who knew that Jiang Menglin was very fascinated by Xu Xianle, and did not listen to Hu Shi's advice at all, and angrily tore up Hu Shi's letter, which was later picked up and put together by the secretary before it was saved. In the end, Jiang Menglin and Xu Xianle entered the marriage hall.
More than a year after getting married, Jiang Menglin was hospitalized due to a fracture, and while he was hospitalized, Xu Xianle quietly attributed his belongings to his own name. After Jiang Menglin was discharged from the hospital, he was very angry and immediately decided to divorce Xu Xianle. Xu Xianle naturally didn't agree, so Jiang Menglin began to take Xu Xianle to court to sue for divorce, and accused Xu Xianle of being sinister and abusing himself. In the end, the two parties finally agreed to divorce, and Jiang Menglin had to pay Xu Xianle a large sum of money in order to end the lawsuit as soon as possible, and finally ended up losing both personal and financial resources. Five months after the divorce, Jiang Menglin died of liver cancer.
For these modern historical figures whose careers, property and even lives have been threatened because of various "peach incidents" and "private life problems", some people often feel sorry and sigh for "red face and trouble". As everyone knows, it is not the red faces that are at fault, but the lack of firm beliefs and rationality and imperfect morality of these people, not to mention the death of more "red faces". However, when looking at these events, we should also maintain rational and critical and dialectical thinking, and the main criterion for evaluating a historical figure should be to start from his political, social, and cultural contributions and influences, and to treat private morality and public morality separately, and it is not necessary to completely deny a historical figure because of some mistakes.
