"Passengers are prohibited from carrying power banks that do not have the 3C logo, have unclear 3C logos, or have recalled models or batches on domestic flights." Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China's ban has made the issue of 3C certification of power banks a topic of public concern.
In the long history of China, some names are remembered because of their financial power and status, and Liu Wencai is just such a figure who has been deeply impressed by history. His story is not only about the accumulation of personal wealth, but also intertwined with social unrest, family strife, and the complexity of human nature. At a family gathering in March 2010, Liu Wencai's descendants gathered in their hometown to pay homage to the former landlord bully in a grand ceremony, but the background was that magnificent and controversial history.
Liu Wencai's early life
Liu Wencai was born in Dayi County, Sichuan. His boyhood was accompanied by his family's accumulation. At a young age, he displayed a fanatical pursuit of wealth. His father was a local official, so Liu Wencai basked in the sunshine of power at an early age. As he grew older, Liu Wencai gradually began to use the resources left to him by his father to embark on the road of being a landlord. According to rumors circulating in the countryside, Liu Wencai is a smart and cunning person who is good at using the surrounding environment to benefit himself.
Explosive wealth and social unrest
Entering the 1930s, the country was in turmoil, and Liu Wencai amassed wealth in this chaotic era. Taking advantage of the warlord melee, he plotted to assassinate his powerful rival Liu Xiang to no avail. Instead, he triggered a prelude to repression and exploitation. After the bombing of Yibin, he took the opportunity to carry out large-scale plundering and forcibly plundered people's wealth in the name of "raising military expenditures." Within two days, his troops looted property worth 200,000 silver dollars in the city. After experiencing a bloody struggle for hegemony, Liu Wencai's wealth was at its peak and he became a tyrant in the countryside, holding great power but full of oppression.
Landlord Exploitation and Family Analysis
On the land of Dayi, Liu Wencai began his career as a "landlord bully". He established a harsh lease system, forcing tenant farmers to pay deposits in advance, and also forced farmers to pay him more grain when collecting rent by forging different standards of measurement. His exploitation is like an invisible rope, tightly strangling generations of farmers.
At the same time, Liu Wencai's family was undercurrent. He had many wives and concubines, from poor families to women who were forcibly abducted, none of them could escape his control. Civilization and barbarism coexist in the home, and the busy scene on the surface masks countless unsightly stories. Every young woman and every worker is likely to become a victim of his tyranny, and the road to survival is inevitably intertwined with his rule.
Liu Wencai’s Peak of Power and Family Dilemma
From 1947 to 1949, with the drastic changes in Chinese society, Liu Wencai, who had been arrogant in the past, also began to feel the pressure of the People's Liberation Army. Faced with defeat, he still clung to his luxurious life until October 1949, when the People's Liberation Army invaded and he had to flee his hometown. Liu Wencai's life came to an end amidst war and tragedy, leaving behind not only gold and silver treasures, but also a history full of pain and struggle.
The echo of the times and the fate of future generations
Liu Wencai's death did not bring an end to his family story. The surviving descendants have embarked on their own different paths. The eldest son was imprisoned for his extravagant life, the second son was reduced to a commoner, and the fates of the third and fourth sons were equally full of twists and turns. Facing the decline of their family and the legacy left by their ancestors, they each bear different historical baggage.
In 2010, Liu Wencai's descendants came together again, and hundreds of people gathered at a grand gathering to worship their ancestors. This scene is not only a memory of the past, but also a reflection on history. The grand program and the turbulent scene make people feel the complex emotions of the blend of history and human nature.
Conclusion: Wealth and Reflection
Liu Wencai's biography is like a mirror, reflecting the double-edged sword of wealth and power. Historical changes have made the descendants of the Liu family today also face reflection from the outside world and themselves. Perhaps, in the vast torrent of history, every name has its glory and shadow, and what we can do is to learn from history and regain the lost glory of humanity. Even at this family banquet, what is revealed is not only the glory of the past, but also a thoughtful overview of history and deep wishes for the future.

There is a writer named Zhang Yingquan in Hubei. He was originally entrusted by the descendants of the Liu family to overturn Liu Wencai's case. Later, the article on overturning the case was withdrawn due to fierce social criticism. Writer Zhang refused to accept it and went to Dayi County at his own expense to investigate Liu's glorious deeds! This investigation did not matter. Writer Zhang completely reversed his original article on overturning the case.
He said: Even according to the laws of the old society and the Republic of China, shooting Liu Wencai a thousand times would not be excessive! Killing husbands and seizing wives, raping young girls, dominating other people's property, selling drugs, and visiting homes to force renters. If we use the policy of land reform to characterize him, the emperor and empress will not be able to spare him for the crime of killing countless communists. Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, bandits, bullies, hooligans, gangsters, etc., he alone has accounted for all the evil deeds.
So he wrote the book "Long Night in Tianfu - Still Liu Wencai".
The following is the preface and supplementary content of the book "Long Night in Tianfu - Still Liu Wencai".
preface
In 1996, I was asked by a magazine to write a documentary novel about Liu Wencai.
Who is Liu Wencai? Before this, I didn't know any more about him than I did about the group sculpture "Rent Collection Yard". At that time, "Rent Collection Courtyard" was published in the pictorial, and we only knew that this man was a big landowner in western Sichuan who was full of sins and lived a decadent life. After reading a large amount of information about this person forwarded to me by the editorial department, I discovered that this person was not as bad as the legend had it. It turned out that decades of criticism had “unjustly” accused him. Based on those information, I just compiled it into a story in the form of a story.
Unexpectedly, before the advertisement that published this article in the magazine had time to appear, CCTV broadcast news about Liu Wencai. The insider mainly said that someone was summoning Liu Wencai's ghost. The hot spot became a hot spot, and the article was stranded and could not be published.
Over the past few years, I have often thought of this article as a waste of time, and I feel a little sour in my heart. I kept cutting it off, but I was unwilling to give it up. One day, I decided to write a book about it seriously. So I searched for other information and found various books about the Sichuan warlords' melee. It didn't matter what I was chewing, but I actually had doubts about the point of view of my article. It turns out that Liu Wencai was born in a context where whoever has a gun becomes king. Is he really a good person? Sweat broke out on my back, and I thought, luckily it didn't come out. At the same time, I became very interested in the history of Sichuan during that period, and I thought about going to Dayi to experience it.
In the middle of winter, I set off alone. Through the efforts of my friends on the way, I obtained several books dedicated to Liu Wencai. From the warlord historical materials to Liu Wencai's personal materials, I discovered that the views he held a few years ago were very wrong. Although those few books have brought out Liu Wencai's bright spots, you still can't describe Liu Wencai as a good person because of his actions. I visited the old and new manor houses of the Liu family, Liu Xiang's mansion, and the mansions of Liu Yuanxuan and other officials of the former 24th Army on Anren Street. The result of the visit not only failed to overturn the existing conclusions, but also made them disgusted with Liu Wencai and their Liu family army. Even if you look at the problem from the perspective of that year, it is difficult to classify this person as a good person.
To be honest, Liu Wencai is not a representative of the large number of ordinary landowners in China. How many small and medium-sized landowners in China can build such a large manor? Moreover, he has as many as twenty-eight mansions scattered around the country, and each one of them is no less impressive than his old mansion! Some people feel sorry for Liu Wencai, saying that there are not that many. For example, in Chengdu, there are "only" three. Let’s not talk about its twenty-eight, but only a fraction of it: eight, isn’t that scary enough?
According to the "Dayi County Chronicle", in the first fifty years of the 20th century, there were eight Kuomintang military commanders and deputy commanders from Dayi, 18 division commanders, deputy division commanders, and division chiefs of staff, 51 regiment commanders and deputy regiment commanders, and 12 major generals. There were as many as 81 people who served as county governors and county magistrates! Most of them are related to Liu Jiajun. "The three armies, nine brigades and eighteen regiments" are people's summary of their power.
It should be noted that they did not first join the Kuomintang and then be appointed, but they first became kings and became powerful and then were ratified by the Kuomintang. Under the banner of the "National Revolutionary Army", they practiced feudal family rule, conferring official titles and titles internally, and attacking dissidents externally. It was in such a smoky and lawless background that Liu Wencai, an illiterate and hooligan, became a figure.
That period of history is not only infuriating but also frightening. Without an agrarian revolution, how could the common people live their lives?
Therefore, I am more interested in the things behind Liu Wencai.
Let’s talk about the two Lius first: Liu Wenhui (brother Liu Wencai) and his nephew Liu Xiang.
Although the two uncles and nephews are both warlords, their differences in their attitudes towards life are also very obvious.
Liu Xiang was Sichuan's first major warlord. He served three times as commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, four times as supervisor, and commander of the 21st Army of the National Army. He has so much power, but he never takes concubines, has few desires, and is frugal. He still had a deep relationship with his wife until his death. It should be noted that at that time, concubinage was common in Sichuan. Not only did Liu Xiang not take concubines himself, but his two younger brothers were also influenced by his elder brother and had only one wife from beginning to end.
But what about Liu Wenhui and his brother Liu Wencai? Who doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? Liu Xiang did not allow his two younger brothers to have power, saying that as long as they could live their lives, that would be enough. But Liu Wenhui became an immortal chicken and dog and ascended to heaven by himself. All of them, including Liu Wencai's six brothers, could shake the mountain when he lost his temper; Liu Xiang's mansion was built like a military camp, but Liu Wencai's old and new mansions were extremely craftsmanship; Liu Xiang went home and suppressed the bandits severely, but Liu Wencai bribed the bandits to do my bidding... Putting aside the political attitude, in terms of personal quality, the advantages and disadvantages are also very clear.
Looking at Liu Wencai from the legal perspective during the Kuomintang period, he is also a lawless person. Killing husbands and seizing wives, raping young girls, dominating people's property, visiting people's homes to force rent, it can be said that they committed all kinds of evil. The Kuomintang local government was helpless, and there were many people who wanted his life. If there was no support from Liu Wenhui behind him, no boss Liu Wenyuan to lubricate him, and no army to help suppress him, he would not be able to escape the fate of losing his head even if he was not liberated. As for sending donations, selling drugs, extorting money, and colluding with bandits to kill people and steal goods under the banner of the government, the list is endless.
If we use the policy of land reform to characterize him, the emperor and empress will not be able to spare him for the crime of killing countless communists.
Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, bandits, bullies, hooligans, gangsters, etc., he alone has accounted for all the evil deeds.
Standing on that land, history seems not far away, and you can vaguely feel the bloody atmosphere of that era. However, why did some people sing praises to Liu Wencai? The wind shook the trees, allowing me to see the subtle but terrifying changes in modern people's concepts. At that time, the common people hated Liu Wencai with all their hatred. The dust of the unfortunate years gradually drowned out the tears and shouts of the exploited and persecuted people, so that their descendants turned to become enemies and resented Liu Wencai, saying bitterly that Liu Wencai was "actually not that bad."
Liu Wencai is just a piece of thread, and what he pulls out is the customs and customs of Sichuan in the first half of the twentieth century, and the emotional tendencies of some people today. He is bad, but someone gives him power; he loves gambling, but he can't gamble alone; he loves to play with women, but someone consciously comes to him to play with; he is almost illiterate, but there are well-educated people singing his praises; he is not a thing, but you can't ignore his existence if you fall into his territory; he sells drugs, but he is the head of the anti-smoking committee... In short, this person is a mirror, reflecting many tricks.
After rewriting, it became what it is now.
filler
At this point in the story, it should be clear who Liu Wencai is.
I used existing and recognized materials, but I spent some time researching and stringing these materials together in chronological order for better understanding when reading.
The description of Liu Wencai's evil deeds can only be reduced, not increased without permission, let alone made up indiscriminately.
I didn't use the materials from the farmers who accused Liu Wencai. What I was afraid of was that some people would say that some of the materials were untrue. But these are not all positive materials, which are enough to show what kind of person Liu Wencai is.
A thief can steal but cannot become a robber; a robber can commit robbery but cannot become a corrupt official; a gangster can mess with women, but there may not be any boundaries, and he may not necessarily kill his husband...
Where is Liu Wencai? The words "do no evil" are not too much to apply to him.
However, some people disagree with this assertion. Many people say that Liu Wencai is a good person, such as who he has exempted from rent, who he has given money to, who he has aided, etc.; some of the material inaccuracies in the political movement have given these arguments more credibility. Some people even said that Liu Wenhui discussed with Liu Wencai about leaving with the Communist Party. I would like to share my views on this type of issue, or what I might call "my opinion."
1. The so-called untrue words.
According to some readings, the untrue words include the following:
There is no water prison at all in Liu Wencai's manor; some of the exhibits are fakes; Liu Wencai is not the richest; some things were not done by him... the word "framed" was even used.
It is possible to find specific examples of these "untrue" parts, and if you let them be screened and identified, I am afraid that most of them will be false. However, these "untruths" only involve specific things, and no one dares to say that Liu Wencai's overall evil deeds are untrue.
It is true that in those years when class struggle was the core, there were cases of people making up false claims and randomly fabricating critical materials everywhere. How many people were transformed from innocents to criminals in the movement of characterizing first and then supplementing the materials. Naturally, the criticism of Liu Wencai will not deviate from this pattern. But one thing needs to be made clear, that is, is the "untrue" part about this person just inconsistent with the facts, or is it a frame-up? Only when you understand this basic thing can you speak easily. If it is the former, the characterization is correct, and it is enough to ask for more accuracy, without making a big fuss; if it is the latter, it should be completely rehabilitated and the reputation restored, and just making a fuss is not enough. It seems that the case is not easy to overturn, and the people who put in good words for Liu Wencai actually didn’t even think clearly about what they wanted to do. In other words, criticism of Liu Wencai and the "persecution" of the majority of cadres and intellectuals, exposing certain inaccuracies in the criticism of Liu Wencai and making false accusations that harm good people are two different concepts and cannot be confused.
Let’s talk about the specific “inaccuracy”. What "reality" is "lost"? This is the crux of the matter. Whether the murder suspect killed someone is a prerequisite for conviction. As for mistaking the victim Zhang San for Li Si, and mistakenly thinking that one stabbing was for two stabbings, this kind of misunderstanding cannot be the basis for mitigating the crime of homicide.
The most talked about thing is the water prison. Leng Yueying was put into a water prison, but it was not the water prison of Liu Wencai's family, but the water prison of Liu Bohua's family, Liu Wencai's nephew and the son of Liu Wencheng, the fourth child. The party and government leaders of Dayi County took a pragmatic attitude and corrected this mistake after careful investigation. This is rare. Unfortunately, this correction gave some people an excuse to believe that it was "imposed" on Liu Wencai. If we have to make a fuss out of this, we can also think about it from the other side: Leng Yueying was thrown into a water prison by Liu Wencai's nephew just a few days after giving birth.
Doesn't the monument to "Private Wencai Middle School" say that Liu Wencai "has the heroic style of Yan and Zhao"? At that time, Liu Wencai was maintaining public order. He killed so many people, all on charges of harming the common people and colluding with bandits. But this incident happened under his nose. Who gave that villain such lawless power? How to allow his nephew to set up private punishment? Even if the lawsuit were filed under today's legal terms, Liu Wencai would not be able to escape responsibility.
Liu Zegao said something. He said that when Liu Wencai arrests people, he "kills them if they want, and releases them if they want." Compared with "kill if you want", setting up a water prison at least still has hope of survival, but it is much more tender. That is to say. The mistake in the water prison did not aggravate Liu Wencai's stain.
Then again, the cellar of Liu Wencai's mansion was indeed filled with dirty water, and there were indeed human bones in the dirty water. Who was the dead person? The leaders of Dayi County did not make random speculations. They still followed Wang Yuqing and others' statement and believed that the cellar was a place where opium was hidden rather than a water prison. The reason is that Liu Wencai would not do such disgusting things on the side of the bed. If we insist on digging into the nitty-gritty, we have reason to believe that this explanation is still difficult to justify. Since the opium was hidden, why should it be placed in a basement with water? Does it mean that opium must be soaked in dirty water? Liu Wencai was still selling opium even when he was ill, but why did he let the opium cellar be filled with dirty water and someone was rotting into bones in it without noticing? People who went in personally testified that there was a hole in the courtyard wall, and they found dirty water when they went in, and then found dead human bones. The only explanation for Liu Wencai's relief was that someone beat the person to death outside, then dug a hole in the courtyard wall and stuffed the dead person inside. But here comes the problem again. A dead person cannot turn into bones without half a year of decay. The Liu Wencai family was heavily guarded. How come no one discovered a hole in the wall within half a year? Standing at that eerie cellar door, I had these questions. I dare not say that Liu Wencai committed murder, but this is indeed a good place to hide his crimes. The identity of the deceased will never be known, and the injustice will never be redressed. There is no need to explain whether this person's fate is better or worse than Leng Yueying's imprisonment in water.
2. Authenticity of Liu Wencai’s property
How much property does Liu Wencai have? Which parts of the exhibition are real and which are fake? Does that new mansion belong to Liu Wenhui or Liu Wencai? Does the gold in the vault belong to the youngest or the fifth? Seriously speaking, these so-called "mysteries" have no research value. Because the hatefulness of a robber does not lie in the amount of property he robbed. This is basic common sense. But since someone brought it up and was aggrieved by Liu Wencai, there is nothing wrong with talking about it.
There are twenty-eight mansions and more than 8,000 acres of land. Some people angrily say that there are not that many. For example, there are only three mansions in Chengdu instead of four. Is it true or false? Let’s just say they are all fake. Don't talk about the big ones, talk about the small ones. Only the fact that after liberation, everyone in Anren Township could get one of the Jingdezhen porcelain bowls stamped "Xingting Supervision", Liu Wencai had no grievances to express. It is specially fired, difficult to transport, and the quantity is huge, so it is not something that the so-called big landowners can handle.
Among the records that I saw in the data, in addition to the above, there are the following things:
The emerald ring Liu Wencai wore was worth ten thousand oceans; the eight coffins in Jianchang were covered with gold, and it took eight years just to paint them; Ling Junru's clothes had to be packed in dozens of large boxes; Liu Wencai had multiple tables for every meal, just because he loved the excitement; Liu Wencai himself said: "It cost two thousand Not counting the acres of land, five hundred acres will be left for the four sons..." He boasted that his family's various tobacco guns could equip a company; one of Liu Wencai's sons recalled that his mother Yang Zhonghua later became a Buddhist and "donated thousands of kilograms of rice to Shantang every winter." Several thousand kilograms of rice, is it still less? And this was the situation after Liu Wencai cut off half of Yang Zhonghua's rent, "he would rather lose himself than the school." She also has a car, because the Liu family in Chengdu all have cars... If you list those specific things in a list, it will take up a huge amount of space. As for the fact that the ivory balls and ivory towers were bought stolen or robbed, and that Liu Wencai’s land was “only” more than 8,000 acres and “only occupied the
The ivory tower and ivory ball of Liu Chengxun's house were stolen. For this reason, the government vigorously searched for it, and it took a lot of effort to catch the real culprit. However, after liberation, the ivory tower and ivory ball were found in Liu Wencai's mansion. People speculated that either Liu Wencai instigated the robbery or Liu Wencai collected the stolen goods. Is it any wonder that Liu Wencai could steal the weapons of Liu Shucheng's family from the same clan, kill Mou Suifang and then steal other people's money, and steal Liu Chengxun's things? But the descendants of the Liu family disagreed, saying that Yang Zhonghua bought the ivory ball himself. Even if, as the descendants of the Liu family said, Yang Zhonghua bought the ivory ball for five hundred yuan, so what? Five hundred oceans is enough to buy dozens of children who have no food to eat! What’s the point of clearing Liu Wencai’s so-called injustice! If the common people and their descendants who benefited from the revolution stand against Liu Wencai and think that he is not the richest compared to some people and that some people are worse than him and think that he has been wronged, then we ourselves have wronged ourselves and it is also the sorrow of our ancestors.
There is a treasury in the new mansion. People who are aggrieved for Liu Wencai say that it belongs to Liu Wenhui, not Liu Wencai, because the new mansion was built for Liu Wenhui and Liu Wenhui accepted it openly. Is this theory true? Not necessarily. Liu Wenhui has a treasury in his mansion in Chengdu. In order to guard so much money, it is heavily guarded. But it's strange. The vault in the new mansion also contains a lot of gold, but why is only a cold-shouldered woman allowed to live there? Descendants of the Liu family said that after the new mansion was handed over to Liu Wenhui, Liu Wenhui's wife sent some workers to make improvements in certain areas to prove that the changes were to the treasury. But just go in and see what that vault is made of and how it's made. You will understand that it is not something that a few workers can do. Liu Wencai spends money like water, especially when buying weapons, but where is his money hidden? No one but himself had ever known. Building a treasury was actually not a big problem for him. If the treasury is his, it cannot increase his sin, and if it is not his, it cannot alleviate his sin.
3. What friends and descendants of the Liu family say
Most of the people who knew Liu Wencai's past have passed away. Even if some people are still alive, when we go to visit, people who are related to the Liu family are always the first choice, or people close to Liu Wencai, or Liu Wencai's descendants. In their impression, Liu Wencai is definitely different from the Liu Wencai in the eyes of ordinary people. It's no wonder that brotherhood and flesh-and-blood love do not cease to exist just because Liu Wencai is a bad person. On the contrary, his cruel exploitation and crazy plundering subconscious also contains a sense of responsibility for his brothers, nephews and nephews.
For example, Liu Wenhui came into contact with the Communist Party as early as the early 1940s, but when Liu Wencai died, he was still particularly sad because Liu Wencai was really a good fifth brother to him. We have no reason to blame this sentiment. Another example is Liu Zeshang, who followed Liu Wencai. When his father passed away and could not afford a coffin, Liu Wencai extended a helping hand. Liu Zegao has never forgotten this incident and has not concealed it. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water. This is their private feeling and cannot be criticized by outsiders. But it would be a big mistake to use their feelings for Liu Wencai to generalize the feelings of tenant farmers and ordinary people. Those who follow will prosper, those who go against will perish. Submissives and contrarians are treated differently, and the feelings they generate are also different. The so-called "old people in Anren" referred to in some works are mostly this type of old people.
Liu Zegao has been giving speeches for a long time and has quite realized some dialectics. He said: "What is considerate may not be personal, and what is personal may not be considerate. Liu Wencai and I are close friends, and he will not treat me as a close friend if he has any ideas." He admitted that he was not Liu Wencai's close friend, but modern people who are not at odds with Liu Wencai love Liu Wencai more than them. The world has really become unfamiliar.
How do they evaluate Liu Wencai?
Wang Yuqing said that Liu Wencai treated people very well. How to do it well? She said that apart from her parents, no one else was kind to her. Yes, she was originally the daughter of a sharecropper. Because she married Liu Wencai, her family got dozens of acres of land and a house. The bigger gain was that with Liu Wencai behind her, her family no longer had to be afraid of anyone. As a person, Liu Wencai's tolerance and consideration for her were genuine. What she exchanged for her youth seems a bit absurd to people today, but it was not easy in those days when one meal was too late, so it is understandable that she is grateful to Liu Wencai. But it can be summarized from this that Liu Wencai "treats people very well", and it is either a personal affair or confusion. Her narration and introduction to Liu Wencai were clearly mixed with personal emotions and opinions, and the elements of justification and cover-up were obvious.
In addition, Liu Wencai's son thinks his father is a bit too upright, and his nieces and nephews think Liu Wencai is a good person. I fully believe that Liu Wencai is not lacking in kindness and generosity to the younger generation, and is even more benevolent and friendly to his brother Liu Wenhui. They thank Liu Wencai for being their family matter, but by the same token, their feelings cannot replace the feelings of the common people. When Liu Wencai sent troops to collect donations, why did he force his children to "have to pay within two days"? Liu Wencai raped women, how could he let his children see it? Dry millet was condemned as wet grain, and full grain was condemned as chaff. How had they ever experienced the blood and tears involved?
Through oral or written materials, descendants of the Liu family pointed out to relevant personnel and departments that some of the exhibits were not original to the Liu family, and that some parts of the house were not the same as they were before. They even revealed that some of the exhibits were bought by relevant people in stores to prove that they were framed. Not to mention that there is anything wrong with this attitude, but looking at these explanations from another perspective is worthy of questioning. These materials only prove that some aspects are exaggerated, but there is no word to explain that some aspects are insufficient. In fact, comparing the excessive part with the insufficient part, as long as there is no prejudice, it is obvious. Obviously, when these descendants provided these materials, their feelings of flesh and blood overwhelmed rational thinking.
Speaking of which, there is also the issue of understanding those "good things".
Has Liu Wencai done any good deeds? It has been done before, and there are people who can count every one of them, so they are not fake. For example, as mentioned earlier, Liu Zegao's father died without a coffin, and Liu Wencai generously donated a coffin. Liu Zegao also said that two farmers could not plow their fields without cattle, so Liu Wencai bought a cow and had it given away. Building a school is one of the good deeds. Taking a closer look at other aspects, there is still a lot of material that proves Liu Wencai's "generousness and kindness" that can be unearthed. But can these good deeds prove a person's quality? The answer is no. It should be noted that doing good deeds and being kind-hearted are two different things. It is good to have no desire to dominate and not harm the interests of others; it is good to satisfy me first and then I will reward you. Which one does Liu Wencai belong to? For him, not plundering was the greatest good thing, but he couldn't do it. He must rob others to satisfy his spiritual and material needs before doing good deeds. At this time, the good deeds are actually condescending rewards. Throughout Liu Wencai's life, he has never been equal to anyone. Anyone who is evenly matched with him will fight to the death. It ends with him gaining the upper hand. It is precisely because the survival of the majority of people must rely on the good deeds of a few people that this world is a bastard and should be overthrown! If today we still don’t understand the value of democracy and freedom and keep counting the good deeds Liu Wencai has done, even if Tan Sitong survives, we can’t help but shake our heads and sigh.
4. Liu Wencai moves closer to the Communist Party?
According to an unpublished article, when Liu Wenhui returned home to take over the residence in 1942, he informed Liu Wencai about his contact with the Communist Party. He not only introduced the many benefits of the Communist Party to Liu Wencai, but also told Liu Wencai all the policies of the Communist Party promoted by Zhou Enlai. It was after this conversation that the Public Welfare Association was established. This means that Liu Wencai had a positive attitude after hearing these words, and the Public Welfare Association is a force for progress organized after progress.
Is that true? So let’s take a look at how Liu Wencai has dealt with the Communist Party since then. The bad deeds done before 1942 were considered to have happened before he was aware of it, so let's forget about it.
In March 1947, he was more successful than Anren in killing activists who had gone with the Communist Party. In April of the same year, he ordered Guo Baozhi to ambush the underground military workers and kill 12 members of the military workers. In July 1948, Liu Wencai mobilized the county guard to surround the home of Communist Party member Xiao Rulin because he had obtained information that a meeting would be held there and wanted to wipe out the Communist military workers. The armed workers' team broke through and several members died; a few days later, they killed a person who was said to have helped the armed workers' team; in September of the same year, they killed Communist Party member Xiao Rulin and military workers Xu Daren, and ordered their bodies to be dragged into the county for public display...
Xiao Rulin and other Communists were killed by Liu Wencai, and the underground military team was surrounded and suppressed on the eve of liberation, and the executioners were all brothers of Liu Wencai's Public Welfare Association. After liberation, Liu Yuanlong, Guo Baozhi, Liu Shaowu, Li Pengju and others openly launched an armed rebellion. Is there anyone so close to the Communist Party? Xiao Rulin, as knowledgeable as Jiuquan, would not agree to such absurd speculation.
To put it bluntly, Liu Wencai has not reached that level and cannot reach that level. Even Liu Wenhui may not have accepted the ideas of the Communist Party after being exposed to it. This is proven by materials. Liu Wencai died after the birth of New China, and Liu Wenhui actually wanted to let Liu Yuanxuan, the acting commander of the 24th Army and his nephew, lead the "Public Welfare Association to Advance Du" in name. This did not happen because of the opposition of Liu Yuanxuan's father Liu Wenyuan. Liu Wenyuan's objection was not because he understood the theory of communism, but because he believed that it was unseemly for a dignified army commander to become the boss of Pao Ge. If Liu Wenhui really understood the purpose of the Communist revolution, he would never be so confused.
Liu Wenhui was still magnanimous. In his article "The Historical Road to the People's Camp," he said: "My opposition to Chiang Kai-shek is not for the revolution, but based on personal ambition. Similarly, my pro-Communist sentiment is not for the revolution, but based on personal political interests."
If he had not been deeply touched by the old and new society, it would be impossible for a great warlord to say these words. The respectability of Liu Wenhui also lies in his frankness. But the unreleased article wiped the air in the wrong place.
In fact, it is not difficult to trace the psychological motivations that aroused the injustice against Liu Wencai: in addition to the dirt of time that has diluted the life and death grievances of his ancestors, and in addition to the rebellious psychology of past political struggles and other factors, the most direct reason is that the physical objects that have survived to this day have produced benefits for the economy and culture of Anren Town today. The magnificence of several mansions is admirable, and a school has cultivated talents. These benefits that play a role in the market economy are all visible and tangible. The proportion of visitors' appreciation is far greater than that of education. And what about Liu Wencai’s evil deeds? The few remaining insiders tell the story of Liu Wencai's exploitation and cruelty, but the painful feelings of the exploited and mutilated are difficult to convey to the world. The exhibition in the rent collection courtyard gave people more of an artistic impression. For modern people who have not experienced it personally, it is difficult to resonate with the blood and tears psychologically. Therefore, the blood and tears of many people were blown away by the wind, leaving only relics for talking and laughing. This is really cruel of history and time.
Liu Zegao's words are quite representative: "Liu Wencai also did some good things for An Ren. What did Liu Xiang do in front of such a high official?"
I'm afraid his views are not those of one person. Local folks and officials, big and small, may not have this idea.
There are even some young people who are restless in peaceful life or who are resistant to real life. They wonder for no reason: What if I was born at that time? They never consider the possibility of being enslaved or the misery of being enslaved. They fantasize about Liu Wencai's power and power, and lament that their lack of success is all because they did not have a good time. Therefore, in the dark corner of their psychology, Liu Wencai has become their idol. Those who took photos wearing leggy clothes didn't even know that this was a despicable act that would embarrass their parents. The Liu Wencai they thought of was naturally different from the Liu Wencai they thought of others.
In short, Liu Wencai's life is not worthy of imitation, whether viewed from the perspective of the past or today. Regarding Liu Wencai's actions, whether from an Eastern standpoint or a Western standpoint, there is no legal basis to defend him. When the President of the United States is scolded, he does not have the right to erase the scolder, but what about Liu Wencai? He hates democracy and those who are stronger than him. He advocates feudal rule and personal dictatorship. He will kill anyone who disrespects him. Those piecemeal good deeds are exactly the tricks played by all dictators. There is nothing worthy of praise!

China Yiwu Net reported on September 12 (Reporter Gong Shuhong, Correspondent Lou Jianping, Editor Lou Feili) In recent years, mobile payment tools have developed rapidly, Alipay is particularly versatile, and similar ones include WeChat Pay, JD Pay, etc. However, as these powerful mobile payment tools become popular, some crimes related to them also continue to appear, especially cases of property infringement.

Recently, a man from Yiwu, Xiao Ding, had no money to spend, so he wanted to cash out from "professionals" through Ant Huabei. As a result, he was unprepared and was tricked by others.
Not long ago, Xiao Ding met Ni who was engaged in the loan business on WeChat. During the process of learning about the loan, Xiao Ding learned that this person was also responsible for the cash-out business of Ant Huabei.
"I just happened to be short of money recently, so I thought about cashing out some of my Huabei quota from him, which would give me a delay for a few days." At about 12 noon on August 22, Xiao Ding found Ni on WeChat. After understanding the "cash-out process", Ni sent two payment codes to Xiaoding, and withdrew 1,099 yuan and 299 yuan from Xiaoding successively, charging a certain "handling fee" and telling him that the money would be returned to his Alipay one day later.
However, the money did not arrive until noon the next day. When Xiao Ding asked Ni about the reason, he discovered that he had been blacklisted by Ni. Xiao Ding had to report to the Choujiang Police Station of the Yiwu City Public Security Bureau.
Based on the clues provided by Xiao Ding, the police quickly identified the suspect Ni and captured him in an Internet cafe in Choucheng Street, Yiwu at around 6 pm on September 5.
According to Ni's account, he is 24 years old from Weitang Street, Jiashan. He has been working in Yiwu since 2015. He usually earns interest by lending money and helping people "cash out money with Huabei". When Xiao Ding found Ni, Ni happened to be short of money to repay his credit card. After receiving a transfer of 1,398 yuan from Xiao Ding using the payment code, he had evil intentions and "swallowed" Xiao Ding's money. Later, he used the same method to defraud another "customer" of 1,800 yuan.
Currently, Ni has been criminally detained by Yiwu police on suspicion of fraud.
Here, Yiwu police remind that with the rapid development of Internet finance, consumer credit products such as "Ant Huabei" are constantly being launched. It is worth noting that most of these consumer credit products cannot be opened or withdrawn through others. Therefore, when using such consumer credit products, netizens must clearly understand the relevant agreements of the product, and do not trust others' promises that they can withdraw cash, leak personal information, and end up being cheated instead of being able to cash out. Once you discover that you have been deceived, be sure to call the police as soon as possible.
