In 1965, an Air Force pilot named Li Xianbin defected to Taiwan in a fighter jet, and 26 years later, he was arrested when he returned home to visit relatives.
In 1935, Li Xianbin was born in a peasant family in Yangxin, Shandong, the family can be said to be poor and white, and his parents firmly believe that reading can change their fate, so they do their best to provide for their son to go to school.
With the support and care of his family, Li Xianbin's childhood life was quite happy and he did not suffer a lot. In the 18th year, Li Xianbin joined the army at the call of the country, after which he entered an aviation academy and officially embarked on the road of the air force.
During his time at the military academy, Li Xianbin was very serious and hard in every training, and his achievements were very eye-catching, and after graduation, he was assigned to the First Flying Group of the Eighth Division of the Air Force.
In the flying group, Li Xianbin's performance was very outstanding, and many people thought that he was a rising star in the air force at that time, but what happened later surprised everyone.
Perhaps because his parents doted on him too much since he was a child, Li Xianbin was too indulgent in the army, violated military discipline many times, and was also criticized in personal relationships.
He divorced his original wife, and then married a teacher, and brought the teacher to live with the army, which caused a very bad impact, and it can be said that he violated rules and discipline.
During this period, the leaders found him many times to talk to him, and also gave Li Xianbin ideological education, but instead of reflecting on it, Li Xianbin became dissatisfied and tired of the troops.
In 1965, Li Xianbin was conducting daily flight training with his teammates, but after the training, Li Xianbin did not return according to the prescribed route, but drove the plane straight to Taiwan.
His teammates, who were also on the plane, noticed that something was wrong and quickly contacted the base, trying to stop Li Xianbin's defection. But Li Xianbin didn't stop doing anything, and directly attacked his teammates with a gun.
In this case, the teammates had no choice but to fly to Taiwan with Li Xianbin. When the Kuomintang heard about this, they were very happy, and they treated Li Xianbin as a hero and gave him a reward of 2.8 million Taiwan dollars.
After coming to Taiwan, Li Xianbin did live a luxurious and lascivious life, and was very arbitrary every day, but under his profligacy, the family's assets soon bottomed out.
Soon, Li Xianbin and his second wife finally divorced, because he had no use value for the Kuomintang authorities, and he could not get benefits from the Kuomintang.
In 1991, Li Xianbin heard that his mother living in the mainland was seriously ill, so Li Xianbin, who had defected to Taiwan for 26 years, decided to return to China with his third wife to visit relatives.
What Li Xianbin didn't know was that the mainland public security department had already learned the news that he was going to come back, so they laid a net for him, and waited for him to catch it all as soon as he arrived.
Under the arrangement of the public security department, Li Xianbin was finally arrested at Qingdao Airport, and after a court trial, Li Xianbin was sentenced to 15 years in prison for "defection and defection to the enemy".
Everyone has to pay for their mistakes, even if more than 20 years have passed, but still have to accept the punishment of the law.
As a soldier, you must always keep in mind your duties and missions and be loyal to the motherland and the people. Don't do such a despicable thing as defecting to the enemy, otherwise you will be spurned by the people.
