The traitor Chu Minyi who was tried in court
On April 15, 1946, Chu Minyi, the fourth figure of the Wang puppet regime, was trapped by the Kuomintang juntong and escorted to Nanjing, where he was sent to Suzhou Jiangsu High Court for trial. On April 22, the Jiangsu High Court sentenced Chu Minyi to death. "The case of Sun Yat sen's liver theft came to light after Chu Minyi was sentenced to death." Wang Xiaohua, a researcher at the Second Historical Archives of China, found this detail when sorting out all the materials of the trial of traitors in the Republic of China.
After the trial, Chu Minyi was imprisoned in Suzhou Prison. He was not reconciled and said that he was willing to sacrifice the treasures he had treasured for many years in order to atone for his sins. Recuperated in Wangshan, Chongqing Chiang Kai shek After learning that Chu Minyi's behavior was extremely angry, but he was not careless, for the sake of prudence, I hereby referred the matter to the Bureau of Military Statistics for handling. Mao Renfeng Assign Ye Xiangzhi and Intoxication They rushed to Suzhou Prison together and asked what treasure Chu Minyi was. Chu Minyi wrote a letter and gave it to Ye Xiangzhi and Shen Zui, asking them to go to a relative's home in Nanjing to get the treasure.
In the book Dai Li I Know written by Shen Zui, I found the corroborating answer to this matter. Shen Zui wrote about his eagerness to "take treasure" in the book. He said, "I hurried back with great curiosity. I didn't do anything after getting off the bus, so I went to get the treasure first." When I got drunk, I went to Chu Minyi's relatives' home and took out the treasure. It turned out to be a liver soaked in formalin.
Sun Yat-sen The liver of was found again. However, no relevant archival materials have been found to confirm the whereabouts since then. According to Wang Han, deputy director of the Nanjing Municipal Archives Bureau, Fan Liang, Sun Yat sen's bodyguard, and several elderly people from the Sun Yat sen Cemetery Management Office were found during the study of the "case of Sun Yat sen's liver theft" in the 1980s. They all said that the recovered liver was eventually incinerated.
On the eve of the victory of the Anti Japanese War, Chu Minyi, who was then the director of the "Management Committee of the National Father's Cemetery" of the Wang puppet government, seized Sun Yat sen's liver, which was stored in front of the corpse, and kept it for himself in a relative's home in Nanjing. He knew the importance of Sun Yat sen's liver, and he wanted to leave a way for himself.
After confessing the whereabouts of Sun Yat sen's liver, the Jiangsu High Court issued a ruling on Chu Minyi, holding that Chu's protection of the "father of the country", "spiritual organs" and his posthumous works "cannot be regarded as futile", and was granted a retrial for reasons of retrial. Through the media, the court introduced in detail how Chu Minyi negotiated with the Japanese, how he obtained Mr. Sun Yat sen's liver and literature, and intended to pay tribute to Chu. However, it immediately caused a public outcry, and many senior figures of the Kuomintang even expressed indignation at Chu Minyi's theft of the "father of the country" and "spiritual organs" and his own behavior. Under strong external pressure, Chu Minyi was finally executed [3]
