At 21:53 pm on August 4th, the sixth episode of Our Flag, Surprise, will lead us to focus on the "Xi ‘an Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries. In this program, the filmmaker will lead the audience through time and space. From the thrilling early morning of December 12, 1936, he will tell the whole process of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng’s remonstration and forcing Jiang to resist Japan in order to save the nation from peril, and how the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established a major historical turning point in the anti-Japanese national United front by trying to solve the incident peacefully.
In the early morning of December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang’s guards captured Chiang Kai-shek alive in Huaqingchi. From the "September 18th Incident" in 1931, they were in collusion with each other, and now they are in the same situation. Why did the two sides force this step? Standing at the former site of the "Xi ‘an Incident", Xu Haishan looked back on the turbulent domestic situation over the past year.
On August 1st, 1935, the Chinese Communist Party delegation to the Comintern issued the "August 1st Declaration" on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Xu Yan, an expert in military history and a professor at the National Defense University, believes that this declaration has declared a change in the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s policy of "opposing Chiang Kai-shek and resisting Japan", and there are also many voices in the Kuomintang who advocate stopping "suppressing the Communist Party" and cooperating with communist party to resist Japan.
At the subsequent "Wayaobao Conference", the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China formally put forward a new strategy of "Anti-Japanese National United Front" and decided to carry out United front work for Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. Li Zhongjie, former deputy director of the Party History Research Office of the Central Committee, introduced that our party started contact with the Northeast Army after the meeting: "We set up the Northeast Army Working Committee, and Zhou Enlai and others actively participated in and promoted this work. Li Kenong also had contacts and talks with Zhang Xueliang, the general of the Northeast Army. "
After 1936, Zhang Xueliang’s attitude began to change, hoping to seek cooperation and fight against communist party together. However, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek still stubbornly clamored that "the outside world must be settled first" in an attempt to eliminate the Red Army and eliminate dissidents through encirclement and suppression. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang put forward "forcing Jiang to resist Japan" and persuaded him to give up his wrong decision with the overall situation of national survival.
From September to December 1936, Zhang Xueliang repeatedly persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to stop the civil war through various means, but the latter was unmoved. Even in the face of Zhang Xueliang’s tearful "crying remonstrance", Chiang Kai-shek remained indifferent. On the 9th, more than 10,000 students in Xi ‘an held a parade to commemorate the first anniversary of the "December 9th Movement". Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zhang Xueliang to use machine guns to suppress it, which completely angered Zhang Xueliang.
In the early morning of December 12, 1936, gunfire rang out in Huaqingchi, and Zhang Xueliang’s guard had only one goal: to capture Chiang Kai-shek alive. Around seven o’clock, Chiang Kai-shek and more than 30 military and political officials were all detained. Zhang Xueliang immediately telephoned the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and jointly electrified the whole country with Yang Hucheng, putting forward eight propositions of resisting Japan and saving the nation, such as reorganizing the Nanjing government and stopping all civil wars.
In Xu Yan’s view, the successful launch of the "Xi ‘an Incident" by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng was based on the "Trinity" between the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and even the Communist International of the Soviet Union to promote the national war of resistance. In Li Zhongjie’s view, how to properly handle the "Xi ‘an Incident" was not only related to the next development of the situation in China at that time, but also had a great impact on the world pattern.
In 1981, Xi ‘an Film Studio first put this event on the big screen. As early as 1962, the director had already started the script preparation for this history to help the public better understand the truth of this history. The actor who played Zhang Xueliang in the Xi ‘an Incident has the core understanding of the character "patriotism".
From the heated debate with Chiang Kai-shek, to the consensus reached with Premier Zhou Enlai on "forcing Chiang to resist Japan" because of saving the country, to the determination and courage to cry and remonstrate and mutiny, in the view of Ange Jin, Zhang Xueliang has absolute "national integrity": "Premier Zhou Enlai spoke highly of Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng, saying that they are all national heroes."
On December 25th, 1936, with the efforts of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Enlai and others, Chiang Kai-shek accepted six propositions, such as "stopping the civil war and uniting the Communist Party to resist Japan". The peaceful settlement of the Xi ‘an Incident basically ended the ten-year civil war in China, marking a major victory of our party’s policy of resisting Japan and the national united front. Shi Zhongquan, an expert on the history of the Chinese Communist Party and former deputy director of the research office of the history of the Chinese Communist Party, commented that the "Xi ‘an Incident" was an important turning point in China’s revolutionary history, which not only turned from the domestic revolutionary war led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to the anti-Japanese national war, but also provided opportunities for the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s own development.
Now, it has been 85 years since the Xi ‘an Incident, but history and light and shadow will help us to remember the mysterious and magnificent situation forever, and understand why only the Communist Party of China (CPC) can persevere, defeat the strong with the weak, and lay a new world for the people until today.
Stepping back into the long river of history, Xu Haishan quoted "Fate will only bow to heroes, but will pass by those mediocre people" to express his feelings: "At that time, communist party’s leaders and great national heroes were such people. They not only showed bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield, but also showed extraordinary flexibility, breadth of mind and foresight at such a historical moment as the "Xi’ an Incident", United all Chinese, saved the country from peril and opened a great era of national resistance.
