Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In 1993, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, and Phoenix Media Group in Southeast Asia jointly launched a large-scale TV documentary "Snow Red and Snow White".  In addition to interviewing volunteer veterans who participated in the war, the film crew also traveled to the United States, Britain and other countries to interview coalition forces who participated in the war, revealing the secrets of that war unknown to the world from another perspective.  In Portland, the largest city in Oregon, the film crew interviewed Kerry, a guard from the 72nd Battalion who served in the Geoje Island Prisoner of War Camp.  Facing the reporter's camera, this old man, who is already over 60 years old, recalled in his not very fluent Chinese: "That period of history was really a very bad experience for me. If my conscience is not still there,  Remind me, I would rather forget it completely.¡± Reporter: ¡°I heard that Taiwan was involved in the ¡®repatriation screening¡¯ of prisoners of war by the US military. Is it true?¡± Kerry: ¡°Is it true?  . Many of them were professional intelligence personnel sent by Taiwan. Of course, Taiwan did not send people blatantly under pressure at that time. They all came to the prisoner-of-war camp in an unofficial name, and some even went to the front line.  Some of them had already been lurking among the Chinese army, some voluntarily surrendered to the coalition forces after the war began, and some disguised themselves as prisoners of war and infiltrated among them. I don't know the exact number, but there should be hundreds.  Yes. The purpose is to allow the Chinese Communist Party¡¯s troops to go to Taiwan. This is a very important matter in terms of political propaganda. "Reporter: "Then what methods do they use?" Kerry: "One.  At the beginning, it was a more civilized way. They invited Chinese prisoners of war to go to the theater. Yes, they went to the theater. You know, even we can't directly say to the Chinese prisoners of war: 'Hey, people from Taiwan are here and they want to find you.  Go talk. 'So Taiwan sent a film screening team, as well as opera and singing actors. You can imagine that although there is food and no abuse in the prison camp, after all, they are in a state of imprisonment, and there is no freedom there.  , very boring. So who wouldn¡¯t want to go to the show? Even the Chinese officers had no reason to stop the soldiers.¡± Reporter: ¡°Do you remember the content of the performance?¡± Kerry smiled and shook his head, ¡°The content is incredible.  You know, it is definitely not as simple as an ordinary movie. During the performance, the Taiwanese representatives will distribute promotional materials to the prisoners of war, promising how many benefits they will receive after arriving in Taiwan. "Reporter: "In addition to please.  Where are the prisoners of war watching the show? " Kerry: "Another important measure is to teach the prisoners of war. As I said before, many Taiwanese agents have infiltrated the prisoners of war and will take the initiative to stand up when they enter the prisoner of war camp.  I will use my own experience to teach the prisoners of war how bad the CCP is. As for whether it is true, I am afraid only God knows.¡± Reporter: ¡°You just said that this is a more civilized way, so that¡¯s okay.  Uncivilized way. Is it abuse?" Kerry: "Yes. The most typical one is tattooing on the prisoners of war." Kerry: "For example, the 'Blue Sky and White Sun Flag'.  There are things like "killing Zhu and pulling out his hair". This kind of tattooing activity is quite common. Although the prison camp is nominally "autonomous", it is largely controlled by Taiwanese agents.  Agents and surrendered people formed a guard team, and the captains of the guard team were all particularly loyal personnel. Those people would beat, torture, and even secretly kill people who did not go to Taiwan. Sometimes I even doubted whether they were.  Like those red prisoners of war, they are all Chinese.  " Regarding this period of history, James Budd, a U.S. Army veteran who also participated in prisoner of war camp work, recalled: "In order to confront the coalition forces, especially Taiwanese agents, those Chinese prisoners of war who stood firm also formed many groups, and later established  'Communist Solidarity'.  They also set up literacy classes in prisoner-of-war camps, sang red songs, and some even arranged their own drama performances.  The most interesting one is "The Dream of a Wall Street Boss", which even us American soldiers love to watch every time it is performed.  "Reporter: "Are there no sanctions for what they did in the prisoner of war camps?  ¡± Bud: ¡°Of course.  In order to prevent them from singing, we cut off water, electricity, food, and medical care many times, but  " Speaking of this, Bud shook his head with a wry smile. Reporter: "Can you tell me about the famous 'Geoje Island Incident'?  " Bud: "The reason for the incident is that because of our connivance, the behavior of those Taiwanese agents became more and more lawless and dehumanized.  "Speaking of this, Bud showed a painful look on his face, "It was in the spring morning of 1952. There was a leader named Li Daan in the 72nd Battalion who focused all the prisoners of war in the camp for training.Meeting on the field.  He said to the three hundred prisoners of war who wanted to return to China: "It is easy to return to the mainland. First leave me the words tattooed on your body."  ¡¯ Then he pulled a person out from the queue, and with just one knife, he cut off a piece of flesh from that person alive.  "Reporter: "Didn't the prisoners of war respond?  ¡± Bud: ¡°Of course there is a reaction, but all the guards around have wooden sticks and daggers in their hands.  Moreover, ordinary prisoners of war could only eat one pound (about nine taels) of grain and a small amount of vegetables a day.  But those who surrendered can be fed, and the captain can even have a banquet.  In this way, the difference in physical strength is obvious.  ¡± Reporter: ¡°Were you at the scene at that time?  " Bud nodded, "Yes.  I saw with my own eyes that Li Daan cut off piece after piece, my God!  Later, he pulled out another person and asked, "Tell me, where are you going back?"  ¡¯ The man said: ¡®Go back to the motherland, go back to the mainland.  ¡¯ ¡®Why do you want to go back to the mainland?  ¡¯ ¡®I was born there, my parents and relatives are in my motherland.  'So the thugs started beating the prisoner of war, and the prisoner of war started shouting revolutionary slogans. I saw Li Daan walking over with a knife. At this moment, with the sound of a gunshot, Li Daan's head was like  It burst like a watermelon.  " Jon, who also survived this incident, recalled: "I was working in the office at that time. First I heard bursts of screams coming from the 72nd Battalion. I knew that it was those people from the security team who were there again.  Already working.  But not long after, I heard a gunshot. At first I thought it was our people firing warning shots, but then the gunshots rang out.  I believe many people thought it was a rebellion by the prisoners of war, but they did not expect that they somehow occupied the watchtower on the wall and obtained a large number of weapons.  " Kerry recalled: "Because I usually treat the Chinese prisoners of war pretty well, so after the incident, although they arrested me, they didn't make it too difficult for me.  The worst thing is those members of the security force, especially those Taiwanese agents. They are the same targets as those US troops who dare to resist.  " Bud said: "I don't know what it is like for others. Anyway, from the first gunshot until I was captured by the prisoners of war, my mind was almost completely blank.  Can you imagine?  In a short time, our status with the prisoners of war was reversed.  Oh, God!  This is so ironic.  At that moment, I finally believed in the Chinese saying about karma.  " Qiaoen said: "The prisoners of war not only obtained guns, they even grabbed heavy weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles.  They gathered American prisoners of war at the center and used them as hostages.  In addition to guns, they also used kitchen knives, work shovels, hoes, wooden sticks, and even stones as weapons.  Although I had never been to the front line, at that time I finally understood why the coalition forces suffered so many defeats in front of the Chinese army.  " As one of the most famous military schools in the world, the United States Military Academy at West Point listed the "Geoje Island Incident" that shocked the world as a classic subject in special operations teaching. In class, Delta Force Commander Lieutenant General Hawke said the following  A student said: ¡°Although forty years have passed, there are still many unsolved mysteries about this incident.  For example: How did those prisoners of war obtain weapons and quickly occupy the surrounding watchtowers?  Judging from their actions, they should have been premeditated.  According to the surviving officers and soldiers of our country, the main personnel involved in the incident had very strong combat skills and their combat goals were very clear.  So how could such a person be captured by us?  Regarding these questions, our military has been trying to seek answers from China since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. Unfortunately, they have been avoiding the matter.  "Because the incident happened suddenly, in just one hour, two battalions of Geoje Island defenders were wiped out, and nearly two battalions of US troops were captured. Shortly after the incident, Ridgway immediately sent Francis Dude  The Brigadier General quickly flew to Geoje Island to negotiate with the prisoners of war. As a result, when Brigadier General Dude came to the prisoner of war camp the next afternoon, he was also captured by more than a dozen prisoners of war who rushed out of the camp. In the prisoner of war camp, representatives of the Volunteer Army prisoners of war were captured.  He complained to Brigadier General Dude about the atrocities committed by the US military and produced a "Complaint of the North Korean and Chinese Prisoners of War Congress to the People on Charge". At the same time, the prisoner of war representatives also proposed four conditions for the release of Dude: 1. Immediately stop the atrocities committed by the US military.  2. Immediately stop the so-called "voluntary repatriation". 3. Immediately stop the mandatory "screening". Immediately recognize the prisoner of war delegation and cooperate closely with it. After weighing the pros and cons, Du De signed his full name on the document.  It was already eight o'clock in the evening in Sanya. In a two-story building built in the 1960s in the suburbs, Zhang Cuihua, the art director of Phoenix Media China, was playing "Snow Red and Snow White" on the CCTV-1 channel.  , asked Zhang Zhenhua, who was leaning on the sofa: "Brother, what happened at that time?  " Zhang Zhenhua, who is already in his sixties, shrugged, "I don't know if you ask me.  At first I just suggested that Peng?They launched a special operation behind enemy lines. I didn't expect those special operations teams to make such a big move.  "
