Is there a year in the Republic of China?

Although Lingchi was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty, it was still used as a lynching in some places. During the Republic of China, punishment revived among warlords. Mao Zedong recorded some things in his records: (In Hunan, the chairman of Xiangtan City Federation of Trade Unions was beheaded, but he was kicked in the head and burned with foreign oil ... In various counties of Hubei, gouging out his eyes and pulling out his tongue, cutting his head, cutting sand with a knife, burning foreign oil and burning red iron were cruel punishments for the landlords to treat revolutionary peasants. When women are treated, they will March naked or be hacked to death bit by bit ...) * * * Marshal He Long's sister He Mangu was captured by the enemy and died in this punishment (note: He Mangu's torture was recorded cruelly). In fact, the most detailed records about that year are foreigners, including many sets of photos and written records of the Qing Dynasty, so we can know some of them today. In the Qing Dynasty, the execution of Lingchi's criminal law was reported to the Qing court (not considering suppressing the uprising). But in all parts of the Republic of China, warlords and local militia groups can use this punishment to kill people at will. For example, a female party member Yang Hebai, aged 18, was arrested in Hankou for distributing leaflets. After being stripped naked in a racetrack, her breasts were first cut off and then brutally hacked to death with a bayonet. 1930 (another way of saying it is 1935) One day in August, a German recorded in detail a female student who was only 15 years old. This is also the youngest person known that year. The location is in a county in Sichuan. The execution ground is a platform, with one side against the prison and three sides against the empty square. It was cloudy that day, and many people crowded here. The girls who just got out of prison were still wearing student clothes when they were taken to the scaffold, and they were very young. After that, several people stripped her naked, then pressed her on a long orange, stripped her naked, tied her with a rope, and hit her back and buttocks with a piece of wood. After dozens of hits, he untied the rope and tied it to the post on the execution platform. The pillar is cross-shaped. The girl tied her hands across the crossbar and spread her feet. The girl is naked, and Zhang Kaicheng has a "big" shape. This is a great insult. After that, the recorder stopped reading. He will always remember screaming and crying before he died. There is also a sneer at the deaf hand, and the onlookers are laughing and booing. It is said that the girl died at dusk. The darkest side of human nature broke out at this moment. He wrote: I can't imagine the great humiliation and physical pain suffered by the little girl, obviously to make her suffer longer. At first, the execution was slowly scalded with incense, and the needle penetrated into all parts of her skin ... all this was unimaginable. This German named Harschmann was an official sent by Germany to China to buy chrome ore (Germany wanted to expand its armaments, but lacked resources, so it traded strategic resources with the Soviet Union and China in various ways, and many German-style equipment in the Republic of China was obtained by trading metal mines including chrome ore). At that time, Hartman came to a certain place in Sichuan to investigate mines, which happened to be witnessed. Hartman left a detailed written record about it. He wrote: When the girl first came out of the house, her face was numb and frightened. Then he was stripped of all his clothes. It is said that this girl is a student of a girls' middle school in a nearby big city. She looks very young, and her skin is tender and fair. Arrested near her county home. He was executed on the third day after his arrest, which was extremely cruel. He doesn't know why officials here torture a little girl like this. Obviously, it's not for disciplinary effect. The purpose is to torture and humiliate her for fun. It is said that this female student is in the third grade, and she secretly joined the * * * production party the year before last. Her main job is to do underground propaganda and secret communication. On the process of torture, Mr. Hartman wrote at a considerable length: after undressing, he threw her to the ground and spanked her (probably spanked) because she was still a student and had to be punished by corporal punishment. The girl was beaten to tears and then tied to the stake, which is also a way to make her extremely humiliated (naked in a "big font", that is, with her back to the cross, her feet tied to the sides of the lower end with her hands Zhang Kaiping stretched out on the crossbar tied to the cross), and then an official declared her guilty and ordered Ling Chi to be executed. In advance, the producer of female * * * didn't know that she was going to be executed. The execution process was very long, and she began to be tortured at about 9 am, 10. First, she burns her skin bit by bit with the incense lit in her hand, and then slowly pricks all parts of her body with a fine needle. From time to time, the girl gave a shrill howl, accompanied by jeers from her hands and shouts from the audience. Hartman hasn't seen it since. It is said that it was getting dark before everyone dispersed. What is certain is that the girl was tossed for a long time before she died. There is indeed information in this field in China, including a martyr who was posthumously sealed at the age of 65,438+05. However, there is no mention of Ling Chi in the archives of martyrs left behind (perhaps to protect his reputation), but he simply called him brave and unyielding, and then he was killed. The girl was killed, and other members of the underground party must have known at that time, so after liberation, they reported their deeds and ratified the revolutionary martyrs. There are photos of her before her death (taken in the first grade of middle school) in the file. It's true that this woman is very handsome. She looks like a child in the photo (but it's a little fuzzy). It is said that there are two photos about the year of the Republic of China, one of which is a division commander of the Red Army captured in Fujian, shirtless and tied to a wooden post. The executioner took a picture before cutting him. Fujian Daily once published this photo, and many people have seen it. The executioner tried to publicize it, but it turned out to be evidence of his crime, which is the unyielding historical witness of this hero. There is also a vague one, but it can be seen that the victim is a woman, naked, tied, tortured, and photographed far away. There are several different accounts about He Long's sister, He Mangu, who was killed in that year. But they are all about being killed by Ling Chi (one of the records is that the enemy stripped off his clothes on the beach, nailed his limbs to the ground facing the sky, and cut them off from his feet first, forcing nearby villagers to watch). I remember a few years ago, a TV series staged a drama about He Mangu's suffering, probably because the writer didn't want him to be humiliated again, but at the same time he wanted to highlight the heroic image and the cruelty of the enemy, and changed the real year into a corpse. In fact, at that time, before the execution of the death penalty, photos were often taken, especially for some female * * * producers in Lingchi. Perhaps this will make the prisoners have a complete psychological breakdown. They seem to think that taking pictures of these naked and tortured women can achieve the goal of permanent humiliation. For example, in the case of 15-year-old girl mentioned above, Hartman saw someone taking pictures in front of the girl with a camera. Those governments at that time and later thought it was extremely indecent and would be publicized as cruel by the producers. So many of these photos were destroyed, but some survived the war.
