The matchmakers of the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation rushed one by one

In 1936, a mysterious figure in Nanjing traveled back and forth between Nanjing and sub-Shaanxi several times to carry out a special mission. In northern Shaanxi, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai had several long night talks with him, which made him deeply inspired and educated, and realized the sincerity of the CPC for the country and the people. After returning to Nanjing, he quietly told his friend: "China will not perish, the nation has great hope, and the people have great hope. He, whose name was Zhang Chong (張冲), was a native of Yueqing, Zhejiang, and was a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. On August 1, 1935, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the August 1st Declaration on the long march, calling on the people of the whole country to unite, stop the civil war, unite to resist Japan, and organize the National Government and the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. That night, Zhang Chong's secret service radio heard the "Declaration" and immediately copied it to Chiang Kai-shek. Forced by the situation and public opinion, Chiang Kai-shek sent Zhang Chong to northern Shaanxi to investigate the truth. The second round of negotiations on cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began. Zhang Chong returned to Nanjing, personally arranged a radio station to communicate with northern Shaanxi on a regular basis, and whenever there was a call from northern Shaanxi, he would guard the translator to translate it and hand it over to Chiang Kai-shek. Jiang had a reply, he immediately drafted a telegram, Jiang nodded and translated it into a code.

Chiang Kai-shek was detained in the "Xi'an Incident," and the two factions within the Kuomintang, the "crusade" and the "lord and peace," were in a stalemate. At this time, Zhang Chong suggested that Pan Hannian, the secret negotiator of the Chinese Communists in Nanjing, be invited to consult and ask the Chinese Communists to mediate, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement. In March 1937, Zhou Enlai arrived in Hangzhou accompanied by Pan Hannian and held formal negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek and other places on the banks of Xizi Lake and Moganshan, and initially reached a specific cooperation agreement.

Zhang Chong has always participated in this negotiation and took a solo photo with Zhou Enlai in Hangzhou. Since then, Zhang Chong, as a representative of the Kuomintang, has spent five years with Zhou Enlai and made great contributions to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the United Communist Union.

In 1941, Zhang Chong died of illness in Chongqing, and Chairman Mao, Dong Biwu, Lin Boqu, and Deng Yingchao jointly sent a letter to The League: "The great plan depends on the support, the internal union of the Communist Party, the external contact of the Soviet Union, abandoning the work, seven years of hard work as a day; The Si people are lonely and haggard, first sick and feverish, followed by malaria, deep and uncontrollable, and several cries have been thousands of years. Comrade Zhou Enlai also specially wrote a long commemorative article and wrote a prayer: "Whoever shares the danger of safety and danger, the wind and rain share the boat."
