Hu bottom
1924 was a crucial year in the history of the Chinese revolution, at the beginning of which the Kuomintang and the Communists realized cooperation, thus opening the prelude to a vigorous revolution.
This year, the twenty-nine-year-old Qian Zhuangfei was listed as a medical practitioner in Beijing, and Hu Di, who had just turned nineteen, was also studying at the China University in Beijing.
Or by chance, after being introduced, Qian Hu and the two people who were ten years apart met each other in the "Anhui Guild Hall", and it was this encounter that changed Hu Di's life.
In 1905, Hu Di was born in a landlord family in Shucheng, Anhui Province, favored by his parents, although the family is rich, but Hu Di is different from other rich children, he has not had the style of a brother since he was a child, and he gets along well with the children of poor families, often generous and helpful.
In his youth, Hu Di was open-minded and generous, and even when he was studying outside, he often asked his grandmother and father to give the family land to the poor villagers in the family letter.
In 1923, Hu Di, who had just turned 18, bid farewell to his hometown and was admitted to the Chinese University in Beijing, which was in a period of great turmoil. In the early years of the Republic of China, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao raised the banner of the New Culture Movement here and promoted the launch of the famous May Fourth Patriotic Movement. As a result, Hu Di, who was deeply influenced by the New Culture Movement and influenced by Marxism, actively participated in revolutionary activities and became an active member of the school.
Since Hu Di and Qian Zhuangfei met, the two have similar interests and are quite speculative, although the age difference between the two is ten years, they see each other and hate each other late, and their feelings are getting deeper and deeper.
In 1925, Hu Qian and his wife joined the Communist Party of China through the introduction of Zhang Xianzhong, an early member of the Communist Party of China, and from then on, they began a thrilling and legendary life in their lives.
Qian Zhuangfei
Hu Di, who was born into a landlord family, made rapid progress under the education of the Party, and he ran day and night for the revolution and spared no effort in propaganda work.
In 1927, Hu Di, who graduated from college, co-founded the "Guanghua Film Company" with Qian Zhuangfei and Zhang Zhenhua, using the actor profession as a cover to carry out underground work.
Just as Hu Di threw himself into a fiery revolutionary career with great enthusiasm, he was poured cold water by a revolutionary coup, and in 1926, Zhang Zuolin and Chiang Kai-shek, the Beiyang warlord "Commander-in-Chief of the An Guo Army," successively raised counter-revolutionary butcher knives and wantonly hunted down revolutionaries, the social situation took a sharp turn for the worse, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists broke down, and the Kuomintang and reactionary warlords hunted down communists everywhere.
Immediately, the city of Beijing was shrouded in a gloomy white terror, Hu Di and Qian Zhuangfei could not gain a foothold in Beijing, and at the end of 1927, with the help of the party organization, the two transferred to Shanghai.
At that time, the Chinese revolution was at a low ebb, and in the face of a more complicated and severe situation in Shanghai Beach, Hu Di and Qian Zhuangfei began another legendary career.
One day at the end of 1927, when the wind and waves were calm, a steamship sailed into the Sixteen Shops Wharf, and a man dressed in a well-dressed black coat stepped off the ship, and he was Hu Di who had escaped from Beijing.
In the bustling crowd, Hu Di evaded several spies, stayed in a small hotel, and when he first arrived in Shanghai, his priority was to find a career as a cover, and then try to get in touch with the party organization.
Qian Zhuangfei, who went to Shanghai one step ahead of him, had already been admitted to the Shanghai Radio Administration at this time, working under Xu Enzeng, and for safety reasons, the two decided not to meet for the time being.
It was not until July of the following year that Hu Qian'er, who had established a firm foothold in Shanghai, contacted ,️ the party organization and zhou Enlai's central special branch to include them under his command.
In order to cover his identity, Hu Di infiltrated the Shanghai Film Company, served as an actor in the Kunlun Film Studio in Jiangwan, mainly starred in armed films, Hu Di was fond of cultural and sports activities from an early age, playing the violin, swimming, practicing, etc. He was skilled, so that he played martial arts films with ease, and soon became famous, and was known as "Oriental Fan Mingke".
With his status as an actor as a "martial arts star", Hu Di actively engaged in revolutionary activities, went in and out of the gatherings of high-ranking Officials and Nobles of the Kuomintang, spied on important intelligence, and always did a good job on the hidden intelligence front.

In 1929, Because of Xu Enzeng's appreciation and trust, Qian Zhuangfei had infiltrated the Kuomintang intelligence agency, and through his activities, Hu Di and another red agent, Li Kenong, also entered the core organs of the Kuomintang.
In the winter of 1930, Hu Di was transferred to Tianjin to found the "Great Wall News Agency" and concurrently served as its president. This was a branch of the Kuomintang intelligence apparatus in the north and was under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Yangtze River News Agency. Li Kenong presided over the Shanghai Radio Administration Broadcasting News Agency in Shanghai.
In this way, the highest intelligence organs of the Kuomintang in Shanghai and Tianjin were grasped by our Party in an organized, planned, timely and comprehensive manner, and the red trio took the battalion step by step behind the enemy's back, like three sharp steel knives inserted into the heart of the enemy.
Hu Di, Qian Zhuangfei, and Li Kenong directly learned a lot of valuable and important military intelligence from Xu Enzeng's secret service organs, reported it to the party Central Committee in a timely manner, and forwarded it from the central authorities to the Soviet zone, thus playing a major role in the Red Army's operations and smashing the enemy's "encirclement and suppression."
In April 1931, Gu Shunzhang, who was in charge of special science work, was arrested and defected in Wuhan. He was familiar with many situations in the organs of the Party Central Committee and had important secrets such as the addresses of the leading comrades of the Central Committee, thus posing a serious threat to the security of the Party Central Committee. After Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei, and others learned of the situation, they promptly reported to Zhou Enlai and took urgent measures to cut off all clues that Gu Shunzhang knew and to transfer all the organs stationed by the PARTY Central Committee, the Jiangsu Provincial CPC Committee, and the Comintern overnight. The next day, the enemy pounced like a vicious wolf and a hungry tiger, and as a result, all of them were emptied, so that our Party avoided a particularly serious catastrophe and catastrophe.
Xu Enzeng and others scolded Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Di on the security guards, and extensively cast a net throughout the city to search for them.
Hu Di and others had already secretly withdrawn and returned to the central revolutionary base area.
Here, the versatile Hu Di was mainly engaged in cultural and educational work and political protection.
In December 1931, driven by the continuous victory of the Red Army against "encirclement and suppression" and the nationwide anti-Japanese anti-Chiang Kai-shek wave, the Kuomintang 26th Route Army was reorganized into the Fifth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in Ningdu, Jiangxi.
However, the work of ideological education and transformation of them is a very arduous and meticulous work. Comrade Mao Zedong personally ordered Hu Di, Qian Zhuangfei, and Li Bozhao to be the backbone cadres, organize drama teams and propaganda teams, and do the ideological work of the insurrectionary troops.
Hu Di, Qian Zhuangfei, and Li Bozhao choreographed the play "For Whom to Sacrifice", the main content of which was how a soldier of the White Army suffered, and later finally defected to the Red Army. Hu Di plays a soldier in the play. Because this play can grasp the substantive issue of who to sacrifice for, coupled with the high level of acting skills of Hu Di and others, the performance is very successful, which resonates with the soldiers and greatly promotes the ideological education work of the troops.
In October 1934, Hu Di began the Long March with the Central Red Army. Soon after, he was ordered to the Red Army as the executive director of the Political Protection Bureau, and made outstanding achievements in reconnaissance of enemy spies and poisoning, crushing the enemy's incitement and armed sabotage along the way.
In June 1935, the Red First and Fourth Fronts successfully met the division at Maogong. In August of the same year, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China formed the Red First and Fourth Fronts into the Left and Right Route Armies, crossed the vast grassland, and went north to Shaanxi and Gansu. Hu Di moved with the Left Route Army, with Zhu De as the commander-in-chief, Liu Bocheng as the chief of staff, and Zhang Guotao, the political commissar, who held real power.
The Left Route Army reached Aba all the way, but Zhang Guotao suddenly stopped going north, and ordered the south to establish a base area in an attempt to split with the large troops, which caused Strong Dissatisfaction from Hu Di, and often publicly reprimanded Zhang Guotao, and during a high fever, Hu Di bluntly said that Zhang Guotao was Faxisi.
Hu Di's various behaviors angered Zhang Guotao, and Zhang took advantage of Hu Di's lurking in the unification of The Central Committee, slandered him as a Kuomintang agent, and withdrew Hu Di's horses and accompanying attendants.
In September 1935, Zhang Guotao led his troops back to Aba, Sichuan, and moved south through Charlie Temple and Sidaba to Suijing County, in an attempt to realize his conspiracy to establish the Central Committee and serve as chairman of the Politburo and the Central Military Commission. In order to eliminate the "hidden danger", a large-scale plan to kill dissidents was brewing in his mind, and Hu Di was naturally a key target.
Soon, Hu Di, who was nearly thirty years old, was brutally murdered on the charge of "Kuomintang agent."
It was not until December 1981, when the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China, on the basis of the opinions of the Investigation Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, posthumously recognized Hu Di as a revolutionary martyr, and Hu Di, who had been wronged for more than 40 years, was able to restore his reputation.
Looking back on Hu Di's life, coming out of the landlord family of the old society, whether as a film actor, or the head of the Kuomintang Tianjin secret service, or as a scout on the long march of the Red Army, every identity is a legend.
Hu Di's short and legendary life, although his identity is changeable, but the red gene has never changed, even if his reputation has been damaged for decades, but the British name will always exist and never be erased!
