Silent Hills

There are very few records about Ms. Zhu Zhenglan in her mother's diary. She was born in Hangzhou in 1906. In 1925, she married Yang Zhenye, a Shandong native, in Qingpu, Shanghai, and they had two daughters. In 1930, due to betrayal by a traitor, she and her husband were forced to evacuate to the north in an emergency, leaving their two daughters under three years old and eight months old in the care of Aunt Cui across the street. She joined the Communist Party of China in 1931. In 1936, she was ordered to join the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the Siming Mountains of eastern Zhejiang, during which she found her long-lost daughter. The diary records in detail that Zhu Zhenglan cleverly persuaded the county magistrate and organized and completed the comprehensive transfer of the books in Tianyi Pavilion; he wisely broke into the enemy's checkpoint and transported important sea salt materials out of Yongcheng; and he successfully obtained key intelligence on the enemy's "anti-recalcitrant and Qingxiang" campaign three times. However, the cruel war put the mother and daughter who had been separated for many years into opposing camps, and she eventually fell at the gunpoint of her own daughter.
