In Other Words, the Killing and Plundering of Rural Landowners and Wealthy Families Was the Main Substance of the “Revolution” Carried Out by Mao Zedong and the Red Army

The following chapter proves as clearly as possible how profoundly contrary to the facts a lengthy program broadcast the other night by NHK, one of the leading foreign media organizations officially recognized by the Chinese government, was.
NHK reported in a manner that suggested it did not even know that China is a country of bottomless evil and plausible lies.
In the program that day, the villagers gave money to the penniless Red Army when it came to their village, receiving only a written promise to repay them.
NHK was cooperating 100% with the propaganda that Xi Jinping appears to be conducting on a grand scale.
NHK and the person responsible for producing that program must never again call what they do journalism or call themselves journalists.
They must recognize that this is a disgrace that will remain for generations and withdraw from the field of reporting.
Furthermore, the Americans who supported and voted for Biden must make clear exactly what he discussed in his recent telephone conversation with Xi Jinping, even though they will probably be learning for the first time the facts revealed by this greatest book of the 21st century.
That is their duty and responsibility as citizens of the United States, a country in which the turntable of civilization is turning alongside Japan, and which must continue to lead the world for another 170 years.
The approximately half of the German people who harbor anti-Japanese views as a result of having subscribed to the Süddeutsche Zeitung and other newspapers that continued to make use of Asahi Shimbun reporting must recognize their own ignorance and baseness and feel ashamed.

The following is from Seki Hei’s historic work, The Chinese Communist Party: A Dark Hundred-Year History.

100,000 Lives Taken by “Burning One House and Killing One Person in Every Village”

In Chapter One, we looked at concrete examples of how infiltration of the opposing side is a specialty of the Chinese Communist Party.
Alongside this infiltration, what the Chinese Communist Party has preferred to its three daily meals ever since its founding has been the exceptionally brutal mass killing of its own ordinary citizens.
Organized killing on a large scale has been a consistent method of the Chinese Communist Party; it has even become a habit.
From the very beginning, the organization known as the Chinese Communist Party made terrorist activities its principal work.
It repeatedly assassinated its enemies or committed indiscriminate killings in order to create chaos.
Zhou Enlai, who was later elevated to the status of a “saint and gentleman,” was in fact the chief boss of the Chinese Communist Party’s espionage operations and the person ultimately responsible for its assassination activities.
Let me give one example of the cruel assassinations they carried out.
As noted in the previous chapter, in 1931, a man named Gu Shunzhang, who had been one of Zhou Enlai’s subordinates, defected to the Nationalists.
In fact, to punish this traitor, Zhou Enlai personally took command and carried out the assassination of not Gu Shunzhang himself, but his entire family.
Zhou Enlai and his associates first located the hideout of Gu Shunzhang’s family in the French Concession in Shanghai and, under cover of night, burst in.
There, they strangled to death everyone living in the house, killing indiscriminately regardless of age or sex.
Those murdered included not only Gu Shunzhang’s wife, but also his own elder brother, his sister-in-law, his parents-in-law, and even the household servants.
Of course, Zhou Enlai and his associates knew that Gu Shunzhang himself was being secretly protected by the Nationalist intelligence service and was not in the house.
In other words, from the outset, they carried out the assassination in order to kill his family, not Gu Shunzhang.
To punish the traitor Gu Shunzhang, they brutally murdered even his sister-in-law and parents-in-law, who should have had nothing to do with his act of betrayal.
That fact alone makes it clear that Zhou Enlai and the other Chinese Communist Party leaders were cold-blooded killers without a shred of humanity.
Naturally, the Chinese Communist Party’s killing was not limited to assassination.
As a political party, from the beginning it had made “killing” a basic party policy.
The Chinese Communist Party first created its own army and began an armed revolution with the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927.
At that time, the uprising forces led by Zhou Enlai issued an official document called the “Uprising Resolution,” in which they made the following declarations about the actions to be taken after the uprising:

“We must kill all counterrevolutionary military men.”
“We must slaughter every reactionary official.”
“We must kill every last one of the local tyrants and evil gentry.”

It was literally a “declaration of murder,” and the “violent revolution” launched by the Chinese Communist Party was a “murderous revolution” from the very beginning.
The phrase “local tyrants and evil gentry,” which appears third in the “declaration of murder,” was a term coined by the Communist Party to refer to landowners, established families, and wealthy households living in rural areas.
In China, it has long been the general rule that the control of political authority does not extend into rural communities.
The social order in rural areas was usually maintained through self-government centered on landowners and wealthy families.
Most of them possessed stable assets, were educated and sensible, and had protected the stability and peace of their communities as respected local figures.
However, in the “Uprising Resolution” mentioned above, all such people were made enemies in the eyes of the Communist Party and designated for extermination.
At the time, the Communist Party sought to avoid the Nationalist forces that controlled the cities and had made the development of revolutionary movements in rural areas one of its policies.
The enemies they identified for their rural revolutionary movement were the landowners and wealthy families whom they called “local tyrants and evil gentry.”
Their calculation was that a revolution targeting such people would make it easier to mobilize ordinary farmers and that confiscating the property of landowners and wealthy families would also provide funds for the Communist army.
As noted in the previous chapter, after the Nanchang Uprising, the remnants of the Communist army, defeated by Nationalist forces, were led by a military officer named Zhu De to Jiangxi Province, where Nanchang is located.
There they joined Mao Zedong, who was using the area as a base and leading guerrilla forces.
Some time later, the forces of Mao Zedong and Zhu De, calling themselves the “Red Army,” came down from the mountains and began establishing “revolutionary base areas” across extensive rural regions.
From that point onward, the killing of “local tyrants and evil gentry” proclaimed in the Nanchang Uprising resolution began in earnest at the hands of Mao and his associates.
At that time, Mao and his associates adopted the slogan “Strike down the local tyrants and divide the farmland” as the basic policy of their rural revolution.
The specific “action policy” they put forward to achieve this was: “Burn one house and kill one person in every village, and confiscate everything besides.”
This meant: “In each village, kill one local tyrant or member of the evil gentry, burn down one house, and confiscate all property besides.”
In other words, the killing and plundering of rural landowners and wealthy families was the main substance of the “revolution” carried out by Mao Zedong and the Red Army.
In doing so, the people with whom the Red Army cooperated were the so-called dipi liumang—the ruffians and thugs of rural society.
A man named Gong Chu, a former senior officer of the Red Army, left a written account of the reality of the “burn one house and kill one person in every village” campaign that he himself experienced.
He left the Red Army and fled to Shanghai, where he published a book titled The Red Army and I.
In it, Gong Chu introduced the methods of “burning one house and killing one person in every village” with concrete examples:

“We of the Red Army approach a village before dawn, first surround the entire village, and wait for daybreak.
In the morning, using a local ruffian whom we had enlisted beforehand as our guide, we summon and assemble all the ruffians and thugs in the village.
We obtain detailed information from them about the village’s landowners and teach them the steps of the action we are about to take.
When the landowner’s family has gathered to eat breakfast, we begin.
First, together with the local ruffians, we burst into the landowner’s house and confine the entire family in one place.
We then immediately search the entire house.
The first three things to be secured are gold and silver ingots, land deeds—documents proving ownership of land—and cash.
If these cannot be found, we take the head of the household into another room for questioning and make him tell us where they are hidden.
If he does not talk, naturally, he is subjected to severe torture.
If he still keeps his mouth shut, we threaten him: ‘If you don’t talk, we’ll kill your entire family.’
That usually enables us to get everything we are looking for.
The gold and silver ingots and cash become the property of our Red Army.
It is customary to give the other household possessions to the local ruffians who helped us.”

To be continued.
