To the Communist regime, 吴石 maybe is a hero, a martyr.
But to China, the nation, 吴石 was a felon, a defector, a renegade. His treacherous conducts ultimately resulted in the extreme distress and cataclysm that billions of Chinese people endured from 1949 to 1979.
Tens of millions of people died from hunger, terror, massacre and persecution during the three decades. To the worst, five thousand years of Chinese Civilization was almost exterminated. While Chairman Mao was the main perpetrator, 吴石 was a major accomplice. It was him who factually consigned China into the hands of Chairman Mao, and eventually resulted in the darkest three decades in Chinese history.
