The end of the “Red Doctor” who saved the life of a high-ranking Chinese Communist official

In the history of the Chinese Communist Party, especially in the history before the Communist Party seized power, the place of Fu Liancheng, whom Mao called the first “Red Doctor” of the Communist Party, must not be missing, otherwise, the history of the Communist Party is likely to be revised. He saved the life of the seriously ill Mao Zedong three times, saved the leg of Chinese Communist General Chen Gung, and treated many Chinese Communist leaders including Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Lin Biao, Ren Bishi, Li Fuchun, Chen Yun, Wang Jiaxiang, Deng Xiaoping, etc. He also inoculated more than 3,000 Chinese Red Army soldiers with cowpox, saving the lives of countless soldiers ……

However, such a doctor, who had made great contributions to the CCP, was persecuted and died during the Cultural Revolution. He was responsible for delivering the wives of many high-ranking Communist Party officials, and although he was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution, he was lucky to survive the persecution.

Rescued many high ranking Chinese Communist officials

Born in Fujian in September 1894, Fu joined the Christian Church at a young age and later studied medicine; in 1918, he became the chief physician of the Red Cross Society in Tingzhou, and in 1920, he taught at the Evangelical Medical School and opened a clinic. In 1925, when the “May 30th Movement” broke out, the foreign director of the Evangelical Hospital left Tingzhou because of fear, and the people elected Fu Liancheng as director.

In the autumn of 1927, the Chinese Communist Party launched an armed insurrection in Nanchang, and some of the insurgent troops marched toward the Chaoshan area. Fu took the initiative to treat the wounded in the Communist army, including the healing of the leg wound of Chen Gung, later a Communist general.

In March 1929, Mao and Zhu led a Chinese army of more than 3,000 men to Tingzhou, where he met Mao for the first time. Mao and Zhu were very happy. Fu even told Mao that he wanted to change the name of the Evangelical Hospital to “Red Army Hospital”. But Mao said, “Didn’t you say that the Evangelical Hospital had deposits in the British HSBC Bank in Shanghai? What if the name is changed? I think as long as we can help the Red Army, the name does not matter.” Only then did Fu Liancheng give up.

Taking advantage of Fu’s revolutionary tendencies, Mao asked him to subscribe to four newspapers in the name of the Evangelical Hospital, such as “Declaration”, in order to keep abreast of domestic trends. Fu Lianhua readily agreed.

In 1931, when the Kuomintang besieged the CCP for the first time, the Evangelical Hospital to which Fu Lianzhang belonged was a great help to the CCP. He not only cured wounded Communist leaders such as Wang Jiaxiang and Zhou Enlai, but also set up a red nursing school at Mao’s suggestion, training a large number of medical personnel for the Communist Party.

In 1933, Mao went to Tingzhou for treatment of falciparum malaria and was cured. Probably because he needed an “imperial” doctor around him, Mao suggested that Fu Liancheng move the Evangelical Hospital to Ruijin, Jiangxi, to formally establish the Central Red Hospital. On April 26, 1933, Red China, an organ of the CPC Central Government, published an article entitled “Red plaque for Dr. Fu who donated huge sums of money”, praising Fu as “the first model of the Soviet Union “.

In September 1934, Mao was again stricken with falciparum malaria, which he escaped under the careful treatment and care of Fu Liancheng, and in October, the Communist Party was forced to flee under the siege of the Kuomintang. During the escape, Fu Liancheng cured Mao, Zhou and many other people and soldiers of their diseases, and also delivered the baby of Ren Bishi’s wife and Mao’s wife He Zizhen ……

After the Chinese Communist Party fled to Yan’an, Fu was ordered to set up the Central Soviet Hospital in Yan’an and became its director. He also officially joined the CCP in September 1938 under Mao’s introduction. His wife and children were separated from him after he left.

After the Communist Party stole power, Fu became the Vice Minister of health of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the First Vice Minister of Health of the Central Military Commission, and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General in 1955.

Mao’s revenge on Fu was locked up in Qincheng

After the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Fu was labeled as the “top capitalist in the Ministry of Health”, “three anti-members” and “spy of the Catholic Church” and was brutally criticized by the Red Guards. On September 3, he wrote a letter to Mao asking for help, saying clearly, “I saved your life in Changting and Ruijin, now please save mine as well. Mao not only did not save him, but also allowed Jiang Qing to put him in prison in 1968. This was confirmed by Qiu Huizuo, a cadre under Lin Biao, in his own memoirs.

Tragic Death in Qincheng Prison

On March 14, 1968, he was imprisoned in Qincheng Prison, where he was immediately subjected to endless interrogations to extract confessions. The frail and sickly man was reduced to eating cold nestlings and radish and cabbage while being ravaged. Finally, he passed away on March 29 with a grudge. It is said that he died with heavy handcuffs on his hands, and the epidermis on his wrists and elbows was peeling off, with black and purple blood scars. His body was cremated on the same day, leaving no bones behind, and there was no name on the cremation form, only a prisoner’s number. The poor Fu Liancheng, who had devoted most of his life to the Communist Party and saved the lives of many senior Communist officials, was unable to save even his own life in the end.

Later the CDC review team told Qiu Huizuo: “The death of Fu Lianchang had nothing to do with you, and some of the criticisms you made about Fu Lianchang during the Cultural Revolution cannot be mixed up with the special case.” From this, it can be seen that Fu Liancheng’s tragic death in Qincheng prison was not directly related to Lin Biao.

The most lamentable thing is that Fu Liancheng was asking to see Mao, who had saved his life many times, until his death, but Mao ignored his benefactor. I wonder if at the moment before he died, he realized that his choice was really a big mistake.

Jin Maoyue, who delivered Jiang Qing’s baby, was beaten during the Cultural Revolution

In addition to Fu Liancheng, another “Red Doctor” worth mentioning in the early days of the Communist Party was Jin Maoyue. He was born in 1906 into a famous local family of Chinese doctors, and his father owned a pharmacy. He later enrolled in the preparatory course of Qilu University to study obstetrics and gynecology, and stayed there after graduation. Under the spell of the Chinese Communist Party, he came to Yan’an after 1937. During his eight years in Yan’an, he delivered the babies of more than 3,000 people, including Li Ne (Mao’s daughter), Lin Doudou (Lin Biao’s daughter), He Pengfei (He Long’s son), and Chen Weili (Chen Yun’s daughter).

In addition to this, Jin Maoyue also consulted Mao, who was suffering from frozen shoulder at the time. In 1971, Wang Ming published an article in the Soviet Union entitled “Fifty Years of the Chinese Communist Party” and “The “Rectification Campaign” was a rehearsal of the “Cultural Revolution”, in which he said that Jin Moyue admitted in front of him that he had poisoned himself. The poisoning was ordered by Li Fuchun because Wang Ming was anti-Mao.

However, in later years, Jin Moyue denied it. At that time, during the Yan’an rectification campaign, Jin Mao Yue was arrested and examined for this, but it was never resolved. Considering that Mao was sparing no effort to eliminate the “Soviet Remainers” in order to seize the highest power, especially in terms of ideological discourse, it is possible that Mao ordered Wang Ming to be poisoned.

After the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party, Jin Maoyue served in Beijing Hospital and Ping’an Hospital, and in April 1958, he was transferred to the deputy director of the Health Department of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and became the vice president of Ningxia Medical College, and was again censored and criticized in 1960. After the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, Jin Maoyue was criticized and imprisoned, and his daughter Jin Xing, a university graduate, was not assigned a job because of his involvement.

Conclusion

What happened to Fu Liancheng and Jin Maoyue, the “Red Doctors” who saved the lives of high ranking Chinese officials and made such a great contribution to the medical care of the Communist Party, tells us once again that Mao and the Communist Party can not only kill high ranking officials and ordinary people, but also deal with those who are kind to them without mercy, and the main reason may be related to their knowledge of too many secrets of the high level of the Communist Party. The assassination of Mao’s later personal physician, Li Zhisui, was also allegedly a result of this. This is a bloody lesson for the Chinese people who have been deceived by the CCP to think about.
