He visited China in 1959, 1966, and 1967. He "committed suicide" on December 18, 1981. Shehu slept with his wife. Among Albanian leaders, former Prime Minister Shehu may be a familiar name to many Chinese Some say it was suicide, others say it was killed by Hoxha, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Afghan Workers' Party at the time. Recently, a shocking news came: Shehu's remains have been found by his sons! Many people hope that through the bones, Shehu's death can be answered. Born in the Malacastra district of central Albania in 1913, the Albanian revolutionary hero Shehu Shehu Shehu joined the Spanish International Column as a young man. He then returned to China to participate in the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War and formed the First Assault Brigade. Under his leadership, the First Assault Brigade defeated the German fascist army in 1944 and liberated Tirana, the capital of Albania. After liberation, he served as the prime minister of the Afghan government from 1958 to 1981, with his great achievements in war and outstanding leadership. He was the second leader of Afghanistan after Hoxha, and the successor of Hoxha. However, in February 1981, his sudden and mysterious death shocked Albania and the world. Remains with golden teeth: It is Shehu! On July 19, the sun was blazing in Tirana. On a quiet riverbank in the suburban village of Enderoch, the roar of excavators rang out, and four or five workers were also digging nervously nearby, led by Shehu's two sons, Skander and Bashkim. In the afternoon, the excavation was still going on, and the excavation area had stretched from the river to the end of the beach. There was no hope, and everyone was anxious. At this moment, a worker suddenly felt that the soil under his feet was a little strange, so he slowly removed the floating soil, and a skull was revealed from the soil. Skander quickly stepped forward to check, and when he saw a striking gold-inlaid tooth on the gums of the skull, he suddenly burst into tears. The people next to him also understood that this was Shehu's remains! In the following excavation, other parts of Shehu's remains were unearthed, as well as items such as the suit, leather shoes and watch he wore. Amazingly, the red tie tied around Shehu's neck when he was buried can still be seen. After his death in 1981, Shehu was buried in the Shar cemetery near the capital, Tirana. But soon after he was declared an "enemy of the people," the Afghan Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly moved the remains and buried them in a remote location. For more than a decade, no one could tell the exact location of Shehu's remains. The father's remains "evaporated" in this way, much to the discontent of the brothers Skander and Bashkim. In 1996, they began the project to find their father. After interviewing many insiders at the time, including the former intelligence director Ghazidai and the son of the interior minister, the brothers finally determined that their father might be buried in a river beach near the village of Enderloch. The director of intelligence also drew a map of the location for them based on archival materials. But when the two men came to look for it in late 1996, they were disappointed. Because the water level was too high at the time, they had no choice but to start digging holes in the river beach when groundwater came up. After that, Skander and Bashkim searched many places, but returned in vain. This time, they decided to return to Enderloch, and finally got their wish. After Shehu's remains were found, Skander and Bashkim announced that they had decided to bury the remains of their father with those of their mother in the Shar cemetery. The 23rd is the day of the joint burial ceremony. By the time Mr. Shehu's coffin was taken out of the car, hundreds of mourners had gathered in the cemetery, many of them relatives of Mr. Shehu, many of whom had come early from his hometown, Malacastra, to attend the funeral. Mr. Skander read the eulogy at the ceremony, perhaps too heavy, perhaps his voice trembling at the thought of the hardships of finding his father, and some women sobbed in a depressing atmosphere. After the ceremony, Mr. Shehu was buried beside his wife. After all the right and wrong, Shehu was finally rested in peace. A spy who committed suicide in fear of guilt or a counterrevolutionary who was forced to commit suicide? Shehu's Death: An Unsolvable Mystery About Shehu's death, it is still a mystery, perhaps a mystery that will never be solved. There are various opinions about his death, but there are roughly the following three theories: First, he committed suicide in fear of guilt. After Shehu's death in February 1981, Hoxha, the then chairperson of the Afghan Workers' Party, declared him a "multinational spy". According to Hoxha, Shehu was employed by the CIA and the Yugoslav Intelligence Service in his early years, and broke off contact with them after becoming the prime minister. However, in early 1981, the Foreign Intelligence Service suddenly conveyed orders to Shehu to assassinate Hoxha at all costs. It was at this time that the Politburo of the Workers' Party held a meeting to criticize Shehu's son Skander for being engaged to a woman from a bad background. Shehu panicked and believed that his conspiracy had been exposed and he had to commit suicide. This statement was very popular at the time, but with the passage of time, not many people believed it. Second, he committed suicide under pressure. From the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, Hoxha was aging, becoming suspicious and cruel. He carried out three major purges in the cultural, economic and military circles, and many people were implicated. In 1975, Hoxha suddenly announced that his right-hand man, Defense Minister Baluku, was a counter-revolutionary and a spy, and he was executed. Shehu was worried about the changes in Hoxha, for fear that one day it would be his turn. After the Politburo criticized him, Shehu believed that Hoxha would "cut" him, and he chose to commit suicide in order to save his family and children. But what he did not expect was that after his death, his wife, Feichelet Shehu, a former member of the Central Committee and the principal of the Lenin High Party School, and three sons were thrown into prison. Mrs. Shehu confessed to plotting counter-revolution with her husband, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, and died tragically in prison in 1988. Shehu's eldest son also electrocuted himself in prison because he could not bear the torture. Only Skander and Bashkim persisted and were released in the early 1990s. 3. Homicide. Shehu's chief guard, Cheno, had been waiting outside the house on the night of his suicide, but he did not hear any gunshots, which proved that the bullet that hit Shehu at that time came from a silent pistol. Later, Shehu held his own pistol in his hand, without any silencing device. Once fired, it should be heard clearly inside and outside the house. In addition, Shehu also had a long letter to Hoxha at the bedside at that time. No one knew what it was. The chief guard also said that he knew Shehu very well. It was impossible for such a strong character to commit suicide.
