In August 1942, Hu Die's family set off from Hong Kong and embarked on a long and difficult journey back to the mainland. At that time, the Pacific War had broken out in full swing, the Japanese army was frantically expanding, and Chinese mainland was full of wars. In such an environment, a seemingly ordinary trip back to his hometown is actually full of dangers and hidden murderous opportunities.
Hu Die's family set sail from Hong Kong, bypassed the South China Sea, and finally landed in Shaoguan, Guangdong. This is just the beginning of an arduous journey. Due to the spread of the war, they had to stay in Shaoguan for the time being. However, Hu Die did not stop there. As a devout patriot, she longed to return to the rear of the mainland as soon as possible and contribute her strength to the War of Resistance.
As recently as 1943, the flames of war in the Pacific Theater had begun to burn into the Pearl River Delta. In the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Hu Die's family had to be full of ambition again and went to Guilin to temporarily avoid the edge. They marched along the Hunan and Guizhou lines, witnessing the merciless ravages of war along the way. Devastated villages, displaced refugees, and the tragic scenes of war can be seen everywhere.
At this time, Hu Die learned that the anti-Japanese front was in urgent need of cultural propaganda forces, so he made the decision to return to Chongqing, the rear. So, between May and June 1944, they finally passed through the layers of blockade and arrived in Chongqing. Along the way, Hu Die's family has gone through countless hardships and obstacles, witnessed the ruthless destruction of the war, and also felt the tenacious and unyielding will of the people to resist.
After arriving in Chongqing, Hu Die did not hide it, but continued to be active in the public eye. In that turbulent era, she used her influence to contribute to anti-Japanese propaganda and morale.
In 1944, the movie "The Road to the Founding of the People's Republic" was launched, and Hu Die was invited to join the crew of this film reflecting the anti-Japanese struggle. The film tells the arduous journey of the Chinese people to build the Qiangui Railway and support the War of Resistance. Hu Die plays a hard-working and capable anti-Japanese female traffic officer in the film, showing the patriotic sentiments of ordinary people with a simple and simple performance.
In addition to participating in film and television shooting, Hu Die also often performs on stage to cheer for the frontline soldiers. In September 1944, the famous cross talk master Ma Sanli hosted the "Commemoration of 918" cross talk party in Chongqing, and Hu Die personally took the stage to lead the singing of the patriotic song "1234 Sports Song". When her high-pitched and loud singing voice resounded through the venue, the audience was all excited.
In January 1945, Hu Die joined the large-scale condolence activity of "Entertainment Front Mobilization" in Chongqing. Dressed in a blue cheongsam, she waved a long diamond-encrusted hydrangea and sang "Air Force March" and other works, winning bursts of applause. Whether in the crew or on stage, Hu Die has always maintained a positive spirit and contributed to the Anti-Japanese War in his own way.
And in all these public activities, Hu Die's husband Pan Yousheng often accompanies him, and there is no hint of "being occupied". In September 1944, the two attended the premiere of the promotional film "Battlefield Horror" together. In February 1945, they participated in the celebration of the Spring Festival party of the "Chongqing Literary and Art Association" together.
In the face of the Japanese army's iron hoof sweep, Hu Die never flinched and bravely rushed to the forefront. Her figure often appears in the public's field of vision, using the power of art to ignite the determination of all people to fight bravely against the enemy. It is precisely this firm patriotic sentiment and noble personality quality that has won the love and respect of the people of the whole country.
In the spring of 1944, Hu Die and his entourage were filming the exterior of the movie "The Road to the Founding of the People's Republic" in the Lingui area of Guilin. This film tells the story of the Chinese people to build the Qiangui Railway Front, reflecting the difficult sacrifices made by the Chinese sons and daughters in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
At this moment, a raging sound of artillery fire came from the distant horizon, deafening. It turned out that on the front line of the Xianggui Highway, the Japanese army launched a new round of crazy attacks. They tried their best to cut off the main arteries of China and thus stifle the lifeblood of the War of Resistance.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire echoed in the mountains, and the smoke of gunpowder gradually enveloped the entire area. The crew of the location team hurriedly packed up their equipment and prepared to escape from this place that was about to become a new battlefield. However, at this moment, a sudden air raid plunged the entire team into extreme confusion.
"Retreat! The Japanese planes are coming!" Someone shouted loudly.
Enemy planes hovered low overhead, machine guns under the wings spewing out deadly tongues of fire. The director and staff hurriedly packed up the camera equipment, and at the same time escorted the actors in the crew to desperately drill into the bushes. However, at this moment, a huge bomb fell from the sky and exploded a huge fireball not far from them.
"Ahh
The sand and dirt were blown in all directions, the crews were defeated, and several people were already out of cover and were hit by bombs. At this juncture, Hu Die did not care about his personal safety, desperately protected a little girl in the crew, and tried his best to use his body to resist part of the slashing for her.
"Sister Butterfly! Are you alright?" The crew rushed to help her up. I saw that Hu Die's dress had been blown to tatters, her hair was messy, and a wisp of blood was flowing from her forehead. But she just shook her head, signaling that she was okay. Then he took the little girl's hand and quickly fled towards the nearby mountain col.
In this way, the location team with all their wealth fled into the flood of refugees in a hurry in the smoke of gunfire. They huddled among the homeless homeless, listened to the cries of the children, the wails of the women, and watched the flames of war burn in the distance......
On August 15, 1945, after eight years of bloody fighting, the Chinese people finally defeated Japan's militarist ambitions and won a complete victory. In the difficult and tortuous national cause of the Anti-Japanese War, the heroic and tenacious Hu Die undoubtedly added an extremely wonderful stroke to it.
As a famous film and television star, Hu Die could have chosen to escape the war and live a comfortable life. However, despite all obstacles and danger to her life, she insisted on returning to the rear of the mainland and devoted herself to the magnificent cause of resisting Japan and saving the country.
In 1944, she resolutely joined the crew of the movie "The Road to the Founding of the People's Republic" and played a hard-working and capable anti-Japanese traffic officer. During the filming, she was unfortunately bombed indiscriminately by enemy planes, and as a little girl, she resisted the bomb attack, bravely and self-sacrificing.
In the midst of the war, Hu Die often went into battle to cheer and boost the morale of the front-line soldiers. In September 1944, she sang patriotic songs such as "1234 Movement Song" at the Chongqing "Commemoration of 918" cross talk party, which shocked the audience. In January of the following year, she sang "Air Force March" and other works in the large-scale condolence activity of "Entertainment Front Mobilization", which won bursts of applause. Whenever Hu Die's singing sounded, it all lifted the morale of the army and inspired the firm determination of the broad masses of the people to persist in the War of Resistance and drive out the Japanese puppeteers.
In addition to singing and dancing performances, Hu Die also actively participated in mass propaganda work. In 1944, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the most tragic juncture, she often joined hands with her husband Pan Yousheng to preach the current situation to the people in the streets and alleys of Chongqing, and made her own contributions to awakening the masses and gathering strength.
It can be said that in that era of change and danger, Hu Die used his influence and did his best to contribute his modest strength to the Anti-Japanese War. Her selfless work and courageous spirit have embodied the Chinese nation's unwavering will to work together as one, and have also won the infinite love and respect of the people of the whole country. Because of this, Hu Die is known as the "anti-Japanese hero" and "patriotic star", and her short and wonderful life is forever engraved in the glorious history of the national struggle.
On August 28, 1946, on the first anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Die went to Shanghai to participate in a large-scale celebration. In advance, she had told relatives and friends about this trip in a letter to her family. However, no one expected that this would be the last public whereabouts in her life.
On August 28, Hu Die and his entourage arrived at Shanghai Hongkou Airport. At the airport, an agent claiming to be a spy of the Nationalist Government told Hu Die that his superiors had important business to see her, so he asked her to accompany him. In the face of this unexpected invitation, although Hu Die had some doubts, he still agreed by magic.
In this way, Hu Die followed the mysterious man all the way out of the airport and never appeared in the public eye again. In the months that followed, her relatives and friends inquired about her whereabouts, but they all became disambre, as if she had disappeared between heaven and earth, without a trace.
It was not until April 1947 that the news of Hu Die's death finally came out. According to the memoirs of General Dai Li, in August of that year, he detained and interrogated Hu Die in a villa in Hongkou, Shanghai, for more than three years until her death in April 1947.
What is the reason for this once famous star? In this regard, the outside world has different opinions and is inconsistent. Some people say that it is because Hu Die's words and deeds are suspected of being "pro-communist" and targeted; Some people also said that she was suspected of being a "spy agent" infiltrated by the Japanese side; There is also an opinion that she was simply favored by Dai Li, an incompetent warlord, and ended up suffering a tragic fate.
In any case, in the last three years of his life, Hu Die was subjected to unprovoked detention and interrogation, and lived a miserable life that was worse than death. This "patriotic star" who once bravely resisted the enemy, but finally buried his life, and his fate can be called extremely miserable, which is really suffocating.
Her short and brilliant life came to an end, and it was too late to leave regrets. However, her deeds and spirit will always be remembered. It is precisely because of such heroes who can sing and weep and die generously that the sons and daughters of China have always been indomitable and never turn back, and they have finally won the great victory of national independence.
