Xiong Xianghui and Shen Jian, who have previously introduced the "Three Masters of Longtan Hou" at the History Inn, will take a look at the last one today - Chen Zhongjing.
For example, Xiong Xianghui is Tsinghua University, Shen Jian is Beijing Normal University, and Chen Zhongjing is Peking University, studying economics.
Moreover, Chen Zhongjing was a prominent figure at Peking University, serving as president of the Peking University Student Union and one of the student leaders during the 1935 12.9 Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement.
After graduating from Peking University, Chen Zhongjing, who was full of enthusiasm for serving the country, went to Xi'an and was warmly welcomed by Hu Zongnan, and the two also "made an alliance of blood" and married brothers with different surnames. It should be known that Hu Zongnan was already a military commander of the Nationalist Army at that time, with a high position of authority, and Chen Zhongjing was only a newly graduated student, and Hu Zongnan could take the initiative to marry him as a brother, which showed the strength of Chen Zhongjing's ability.
However, in his later work, Chen Zhongjing discovered more and more that there was irreversible corruption within the Nationalist army, and that only the Eighth Route Army was the army that truly represented the people and would surely win the final victory.
In the article introducing Shen Jian, it is mentioned that Shen Jian was promoted by Hu Zongnan to be a colonel staff officer of the Party and Government Department of the Headquarters, and often had access to Hu Zongnan's core documents, so his role in intelligence was very important. Chen Zhongjing, on the other hand, participated in a wider range of content, not only founding newspapers and periodicals such as "Research Monthly" and "New Qin Daily", but also wandering in the high-level social circles of Xi'an.
Chen Zhongjing has an active personality and exquisite faces, so his social circle in Xi'an is very popular, and even the famous actor Chang Xiangyu at that time was married, and he was specially invited to be a witness.
Of course, don't think that Chen Zhongjing is not doing the right thing, it is precisely because of the help of these "friends" of the three religions and nine streams of all walks of life that Chen Zhongjing can cover up his identity so well, and it is more convenient to collect intelligence.
Moreover, because Chen Zhongjing is proficient in foreign languages, the Xi'an Three Youth League is responsible for always entertaining foreign guests.
In June 1944, a delegation of international journalists came to Xi'an to cover the press conference, and at the press conference, many diehards made a big fuss, fabricated all kinds of crimes, and forcibly put them on the head of the Eighth Route Army in a vain attempt to vilify the Eighth Route Army in the international community by such means.
At the reception, Chen Zhongjing was limited to his identity and could not publicly refute it, but at the evening party, Chen Zhongjing cleverly explained to those foreign reporters one by one and helped the Eighth Route Army clarify the facts. Foreign reporters also opened their eyes, saying that they did not expect the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese army so fiercely and the tactics were so magical.
In this way, the trick of the diehards in vainly trying to vilify the Eighth Route Army was easily defused by Chen Zhongjing.
Chen Zhongjing, because he had been helping Hu Zongnan deal with diplomatic outreach affairs for a long time, Hu Zongnan also trusted him very much, so he specially sent him to the United States for further study in 1946, accompanied by Shen Jian.
After going to the United States, Chen Zhongjing entered the Columbia University Research Institute to study, thanks to this period of further study, Chen Zhongjing's ability to handle foreign affairs has been greatly improved, so when he returned to China in July 1949, Chen Zhongjing successfully returned to the team, and through the personal arrangement of Zhou Gong, as a first-generation diplomat, he entered the Chinese diplomatic delegation.
After that, Chen Zhongjing was active in the diplomatic front of New China for a long time, and served as the dean of the School of International Relations, the director of the Institute of Modern International Relations, and the professor of the Department of International Politics of Peking University.
In addition, Chen Zhongjing is also very long-lived, born in 1915, died of illness in 2014, a full 100 years old, is the longest-lived of the Three Jies of Longtan and the three masters of Longtan.
