War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1243 Chunhua has no regrets
When Wei Ran opened his hazy tearful eyes, he found that he was still sitting on the chair in the basement.

In front of him, the four Eight Immortals tables put together were still messy with cups and plates, filled with the tempting aroma of food and mellow wine.However, the only person dining at the table was himself.

Is it just a dream?
Wei Ran murmured to himself, subconsciously picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank the remaining half of the lotus white in one gulp.

Staggeringly standing up, he trembled immediately. On a table against the wall, there was a pocket pistol quietly placed. Next to the pistol, there was another one that seemed to have a spiritual power. Zhi’s metal quill pen is used to write and draw in an open metal book.

Wei Ran was startled again, and looked around in disbelief. The huge mirror was still there, the stage in front of the mirror was still there, and the sofa in front of the stage was still there.

Without caring about anything else, Wei Ran stumbled to the table where the metal book and the small pistol were placed, but he happened to see that the metal book had stopped on the seventh page, which was the page with the Junior Field Angel Medal.

However, at this time, although the medal drawn on this page has not changed at all, the text under the medal has changed to "Intermediate Field Angel Medal: Awarded to medical workers who have rescued more than 500 wounded on the battlefield."

Over 500?
Wei Ran couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he read this paragraph. It took him a while to remember those people he saved at Nankai University and those who didn't make it out of the operating table alive.

While he was stunned, the metal quill flipped to the back of page 21.

But this time, the metal quill did not move. It just flashed the red vortex containing Robert's camera bag and then continued to turn the pages, finally stopping at the latest page.

While Wei Ran was waiting slightly nervously, the metal quill pen wrote what he urgently wanted to know under the black and white photo of cousin Mei Xiang:

Chunhua has no regrets
Singing girl Tao Meixiang (non-partisan), in August 1945, she was kidnapped by the Nuclear Intelligence Organization and faked her own death. After that, she led her bodyguards, servants and members of the Chunhua Opera Troupe to hunt down 8 members of the Crane Organization.

On October 1945, 10, under the pseudonym Yao Chunhua, he and his bodyguard Cao Duba went to Hong Kong Island to purchase real estate. At the end of the same year, they established the Qiushi Opera Club, secretly collected international intelligence, and sent it to Tang Yingluo, the underground printing room of Xuqing Letter Apartment, via radio for printing and dissemination.

On October 1949, 10, Tao Meixiang left Hong Kong for the United States with her bodyguards Cao Yaba, Jasmine and half of the members of the Qiushi Opera Club.In the winter of the same year, a non-public group "Nuo Society" was established in a secret society in San Francisco.

In July 1951, Tao Meixiang changed her name to Andy Schweiger, and as a Japanese-American, she went to settle in Frog Province alone. In December of the same year, she joined Changshou Pharmacy as a salesperson until she retired.Later, he became a shareholder of Changshou Pharmacy and established Qiushi Opera Club again.

On the night of July 1997, 7, Tao Meixiang passed away in her sleep in her bedroom on the second floor of Changshou Pharmacy at the age of 1.

Doctor Tang Yingluo (non-partisan) has been hiding in Xu Qing Letters Apartment for a long time since July 1937, providing medical assistance to the anti-Japanese forces. At the end of August 7, he was responsible for the operation of the underground printing room of Xu Qing Letter Apartment. In early December 1939, he took over his brother Tang Juechen's secret radio intelligence work.

In October 1945, he went public with multiple identities such as the landlord of the Love Letter Apartment, Guan Bingwen's sworn sister, and Feng Maoyun's lover, and secretly continued to maintain the operation of the printing room and radio station.

In early December 1948, he and his niece Tang Tongqiu accompanied Guan Bingwen from Tianjin to Chongqing as relatives, and then withdrew to Faga Province with the defeated army.

In March 1949, Tang Yingluo obtained her medical license. In October 3, she opened the Changshou Pharmacy in the military village as a cover and assisted Guan Bingwen in intelligence work for a long time.

In mid-June 1951, after many attempts, he regained contact with Tao Meixiang and invited her to reunite.

On New Year's Eve in 1991, Tang Yingluo passed away in her sleep at the age of 76.

Tang Tongqiu, the daughter of martyr Tang Juechen and martyr Guan Linglu, followed her aunt Tang Yingluo to settle in Frog Province in 1948.

In the summer of 1960, Tang Tongchou went to the United States to study and joined the Nuo Society that month.

In 1965, he obtained a master's degree in pharmacy and returned to Faga Province in the winter of the same year.

Since the Spring Festival of 1968, Tang Tongqiu has accepted the position of manager of Changshou Pharmacy.

Jasmine, whose father was originally a peacemaker in the Jinmen Sanguan gang, was later killed due to a gang vendetta, and was taken in by Tao Meixiang, who treated her like a sister.

In August 1945, he attempted to kidnap and fake his death by recruiting the Nuclear Intelligence Organization, and later assisted Tao Meixiang in hunting down the Crane Organization.

At the end of the same year, after completing the hunting mission, Jasmine took the members of the Chunhua Opera Troupe and Xiao Su's mother to Hong Kong and joined the Qiushi Opera Club.

On October 1949, 10, Jasmine and half of the members of the drama club went to the United States with Meixiang and Cao Yaba. In the winter of the same year, at the request of Tao Meixiang, she formed a secret society and established the Chinese underground organization Nuo Society. Jasmine was responsible for the choreography and production of Nuo society dramas.

In 1980, Jasmine resigned and went to Hong Kong Island to retire.

In 1995, he passed away due to lung cancer.

Cao Yaba (Cao Yi) was originally a communications soldier and bodyguard under Zhang Zuolin, and later served as Tao Meixiang's bodyguard.

In August 1945, he faked his death to assist Tao Meixiang in hunting down the Crane Organization.

On October 1945, 10, he went to Hong Kong Island with Tao Meixiang.In the same year, he went to the United States and formed a secret society at Tao Meixiang's request to establish a Nuo society to take charge of underground business.

In 1968, Cao Duba resigned from office and went to Australia Island to retire.

In the autumn of 1981, he passed away in his dream.

Xiao Su's mother went to Hong Kong with Jasmine at the end of 1945. In the winter of the same year, she was responsible for the drama choreography of Qiushi Opera Club. In the summer of 1948, he married a Hong Kong theater fan. In the autumn of 1959, he died of cerebral hemorrhage.

Qiushi (Qiu Xiaoshi), in the late period of the Liberation War, changed his name to Cao Qiushi after Cao Duba in order to keep his name anonymous. Later, he left his apartment and returned to his hometown with Yao Canhua to join the work. In 1955, he was transferred to the local drama troupe with Tao Canhua. In 1965, he was transferred to Jinmen as a cinema conductor and retired in 1981. In 1984, Cao Qiushi died unexpectedly due to a fire.

Tao Canhua joined the Anti-Japanese Rape Killing Group in August 1945. Before the liberation of Tianjin in 8, at the request of Tang Yingluo, the love letters were sealed in the basement of the apartment.

At the end of the War of Liberation, in order to keep his name anonymous, he changed his surname back to Yao. He left his apartment with his wife Cao Qiushi and his youngest son Yao Wanggui and returned to his hometown to work.

In 1955, he was transferred to the local drama troupe, and in 1965, he was transferred to work in Tianjin.

In 1980, Canhua Theater Company was established in the name of Tao Canhua.

In 1984, he lost his wife due to a fire and his son in the same year, and the Canhua Theater Company also disbanded.

In 2020, Tao Canhua passed away without regrets after writing a love letter.

Yang Ma (Yang Panyi) and Uncle Meng (Meng Deshui), in the summer of 1948, Tang Yingluo brought them together to start a family and adopted Qiu Shi as their adopted daughter.In the autumn of the same year, Tang Yingluo transferred the love letter apartment to Yang Panyi's name.

After the Liberation War, Yang Meng and his wife joined the local state-owned quilt factory in Jinmen as canteen workers.

In 1967, due to the tight housing conditions of workers in the quilt factory, Yang Panyi lent the love letter apartment to the quilt factory for distribution free of charge.

In 1968, Yang Meng and his wife retired one after another.

In 1979, due to the relocation of the quilt factory, the love letter collection was returned to Yang Panyi's name.In the autumn of the same year, Yang Meng and his wife were afraid that their apartment would be abandoned because of their old age, so they decided that Cao Qiushi would inherit the property.

In 1980, Yang Panyi and Meng Deshui passed away one after another.

Guan Bingwen left Tianjin for Chongqing with Tang Yingluo and his niece Tang Tongqiu in 1948, and then withdrew to Faga Province with the defeated army.

When he saw this, Wei Ran couldn't help but frown. There was obviously a long paragraph behind the paragraph involving Guan Bingwen's experience.

But for some reason, where this paragraph is located, the originally light yellow page is blurry as if soaked in water, and even a complete stroke cannot be discerned.

At his strange moment, the metal quill pen had already written about Feng Maoyun's experience: Feng Maoyun went to Hong Kong Island with Jasmine and the Chunhua Opera Troupe in the winter of 1945.

However, just like the paragraph about Guan Bingwen just now, the large paragraph written after this short line is equally unclear.

Before he could figure it out, the metal quill pen wrote three more names: "Tang Xiaoyan, Tang Liying, and Tang Meijuan".

But the introductions behind these three names are even more exaggerated. They are simply names, and the rest is a long blur of chaos.

Is it to keep it secret, or is the quill running out of ink when writing?
Wei Ran couldn't help but mutter to himself. Of course he knew that the quill would never run out of ink, but was it necessary to keep this metal notebook a secret?
Just as he was muttering to himself, on the vague handwriting behind these names, there was a countdown that could start at 10 years!
While he was staring blankly at those outrageous countdowns, the metal quill did not stop:

Mr. and Mrs. Someya left Tianjin on a passenger ship on August 1945, 8 and returned to report their work.That night, Yukio Sometani was assassinated by the Crane Organization, and Junko Sometani jumped ship to escape.

On the 6th of the same month, Someya Junko faked her death due to the atomic bomb explosion, purchased a ticket as a Chinese and fled to Fengtian by train.

In September of the same year, Junko Sometani changed her name to Junko Furukawa and returned with the Soviet repatriation ship to recruit nuclear weapons.

In February 1946, Junko Someya gave birth to a daughter, named Ran Wuhui.

In 1946, Junko Sometani joined the JCP, and since 1950, with funding from her father and brother, she has been supporting the Antifa organization for a long time.

In 1961, Someya Junzi came into contact with the Nuo community and unexpectedly reunited with Tao Meixiang and Tang Yingluo.

In 1968, Junko Sometani provided financial assistance to the Red Army. On February 1972, 2, he was surrounded by police and shot himself.His daughter Ran Wuhui was rescued by the Nuo Society and adopted by Jasmine before joining the Nuo Society.

After writing this long text, which was just a partial follow-up experience of some people, the metal quill pen started another line, but first wrote an address and a series of detailed coordinates in the northwest suburb of Jinmen.

Then, it used the last bit of space left on the page to write in blood-red handwriting a poem that Wei Ran had seen in the iron cabinet:

Orphans cry without tears, and mountain ghosts gather together.

Ancient linen clothes, empty curtains and white hair.

There is still a dream in Xunxing, but there is no one with negative rice.

Loyalty and filial piety, why ask about this body.

　This story has been in preparation since the chapter that came out of Guqin Youquan.

　　Regardless of whether it's good or bad, I've finally finished writing it.

　　just
　　They haven't come back yet
