Zhao Yiman’s story

In November 1935, the troops led by Zhao Yiman were surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops. She asked the regiment leader to lead the team to break out of the encirclement, and she acted as cover, with her left hand Wounded by a bullet in the wrist. She was discovered by the enemy while she was recuperating in hiding in the village. When she rose to fight, her left thigh bone was pierced by a bullet. She was arrested due to excessive bleeding and fell into a coma. She was taken to the Puppet Binjiang Provincial Police Department in Harbin and tortured. She fell into coma several times, but remained steadfast and unyielding. When she was dying, the Japanese invaders were worried that they would not get a confession after she died, so they sent her to Harbin Municipal First Hospital for surveillance and treatment. Dong Xianxun, the Puppet Manchukuo policeman who was responsible for guarding her, and Han Yongyi, the female hospital nurse, were both moved by her bravery. They also listened to her propaganda of resisting Japan and saving the nation, so they decided to join the Anti-Japanese Alliance team. With the help of the two men, she escaped from Harbin late at night on June 28, 1936, heading towards the anti-Japanese guerrilla zone.

The pseudo-mountain police team caught up with their carriage in the early morning of the third day, and Zhao Yiman was arrested again. The enemy tortured her repeatedly for a month, but she just scolded them angrily: "You can turn the entire village into rubble and chop people into mud, but you can't destroy the faith of Communist Party members!"

After Zhao Yiman was injured and arrested and taken to Harbin, the Japanese invaders and the puppet police chiefs immediately interrogated her. At this time, the blood flowing out of her wounds soaked her cotton-padded clothes, and she continued to denounce the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in occupying Northeast China. The Japanese spy in charge of the interrogation became so angry that he drove bamboo sticks through her nails and stabbed Zhao Yiman's wounds with a whip, causing her to faint several times. The Japanese invaders took her to the hospital. Her injuries were a little better. The Japanese invaders interrogated her again in front of the hospital bed. Zhao Yiman still refused to tell the truth. The Japanese invaders punched and kicked her. Her wounds broke open again and she passed out again. The medical staff and even the police guarding the hospital admired her.
