Released in 2009, the TV series "Latent" has become a classic in the hearts of many people, and in this spy war historical drama, Yu Zecheng, played by Sun Honglei, can be said to refresh people's understanding of the underground party of the CCP, and at the same time have a new understanding of dangerous and meticulous espionage work.
However, "Latent" is only a TV series after all, in reality, there is really a "female version of Yu Zecheng" unknown, she once lurked in Chiang Kai-shek to engage in espionage work for 14 years, with talent and outstanding appearance temperament, won the trust of high-level people within the Kuomintang, such a remarkable underground party her life is bound to be impossible to smooth sailing, her name is Shen Anna, is a legendary female spy in China's modern and contemporary history.
1. Born in Shuxiang Mendi
Shen Anna, born in Jiangsu in the early part of the last century, was influenced by the family environment and talented when she was young, born in Shuxiang Mendi, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, it can be said that family conditions like Shen Anna, not only in Jiangsu at that time, even if it looks at the whole country is rare.
Then, how did Shen Anna, who was born from a superior and young background, step by step go from a cultural talent to an underground party and successfully break into the Kuomintang reactionaries?
Shen Anna, who has been studying around her family and relatives since she was a child, although she is full of expectations and imaginations for the future, she scorns feudal conservative ideas and dogmatic canons, and in 1932, due to her strong support for the second sister Shen Yina's opposition to the arranged marriage of the elders, the two sisters decided to escape from their hometown in Jiangsu after some discussion and go to Shanghai, where they were drunk and drunk.
In this way, after the two of them were ready, they immediately embarked on a journey to Shanghai, a trip that even they themselves did not think about when they would be able to return home.
The two sisters who have just come to Shanghai do not know much about the customs and geographical environment here, and originally the two thought that with some of the knowledge they learned, they could join the upper class of Shanghai, but they did not think that reality had taught these two young girls a lesson.
Shanghai is an international metropolis that foreigners and idiots flock to, but for the vast number of poor people, Shanghai is simply an unattainable dream. Coupled with the fact that there are all kinds of gangsters, consortia and politicians here, if a little inattention offends any party, the consequences are unimaginable, which is a good explanation why the city of Shanghai is so tolerant of the rich and powerful, but shows its vicious side to the poor.
The Shen sisters have no money and no power, and they are from a small county in Jiangsu, so naturally life in Shanghai is not very satisfactory, but even the most sinister environment will always have a dawn.
Second, the two sisters "broke into Shanghai"
At that time, the two people who were barely living in Shanghai were inspired by communism, and the person who led them to this bright road was a man named Shu Yuexin.
In fact, in the school where Shen Anna studied, the two already had initial contact, Shu Yuexin is a member of the Shanghai party organization, he often talks to Shen Anna, discusses life ideals with her and also advocates communism to her, which makes Shen Anna full of desire and longing for communism.
In 1934, the Shen sisters, who had no way home, had to turn to the teacher for help, and it happened that at the teacher's house, they also met Shu Yuexin and Hua Mingzhi, a man who would change the trajectory of Shen Anna's life in the future, two people who came to seek help for the same purpose, and then chatted with the Shen sisters more and more speculatively, but it was obvious that Shen Anna did not know the true identity of Hua Mingzhi and Shu Yuexin. After a while, her sister Shen Yina married Shu Yuexin, perhaps because she had her own fixed number in the darkness, and a lover eventually became a family member!
In the same year, due to financial constraints, Shen Anna was forced to drop out of school and go home, after leaving the school, she quickly found a way out in the shorthand school, coincidentally, when the Kuomintang Zhejiang Provincial Government searched for shorthand reporters throughout the province, Shen Anna was favored by the leader, and after simple training, she was guaranteed to a higher-level unit for internship.
However, Shen Anna, who was unwilling to fight for the Kuomintang, found her sister and brother-in-law to complain, and Shu Yuexin had a new idea in her heart after learning about this, so she immediately reported to the superior person in charge, Wang Xuewen.
As a seasoned underground member of the CCP, Wang Xuewen instructed Shu Yuexin to appease Shen Anna while doing a good job in Shen Anna's ideological work and making adequate preparations for breaking into the enemy's interior.
By early 1935, Shen Anna had officially become a member of the Zhejiang branch of the Kuomintang. Soon after, Shen Anna began her first espionage job, that is, in the name of returning home to assist her sister's wedding, she smuggled out a very critical piece of information and handed it over to the underground Party members of the Communist Party of Shanghai.
It has been learned that this piece of information, which was brought out slightly by Shen Anna, was about the Kuomintang reactionaries about to begin a new round of "liquidation" of the CCP and other party figures, but fortunately this information appeared in a very timely manner and saved the lives of many people.
It has to be said that Shen Anna does have the potential to engage in underground intelligence work, because of her outstanding figure and appearance, Shen Anna has also become the object of attention of many dignitaries and dignitaries, among them, there is section chief Xue Yuanyan - Shen Anna's top superior.
At that time, Xue Yuanyan was full of good feelings for the industrious and simple little girl in front of her, and even made Shen Anna recognize herself as a dry bride, and the latter used this relationship to successfully win trust, and even had the right to freely enter and leave Xue Kechang's family.
However, the espionage work at that time was very dangerous, coupled with the backwardness of communication means and transportation, so that the information obtained by Shen Anna could only be handed over to other members through the most primitive manual transmission, which was time-consuming and laborious, and the number of times was bound to expose Shen Anna's identity, so, considering Shen Anna's personal safety, the leadership decided to let Hua Mingzhi and Shen Anna personally hand over, and changed the location to a relatively safe Hangzhou.
Due to the increase in the number of contacts, Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi sparked love because of their work, and soon after, the two were officially married, but they did not have time to enjoy a sweet and comfortable honeymoon life.
In 1935, the main force of the Red Army began the Long March, during which the scattered troops of the Red Army scattered in various places were still bravely circling with the enemy, and Zhejiang was no exception, Zhejiang has been rich since ancient times, plus Chiang Kai-shek's hometown of Fenghua is here, so the social situation here is very complicated, in order to choose a person who can lead Zhejiang affairs, Chiang Kai-shek weighed and finally appointed Zhu Jiahua as the new agent of Zhejiang. And this Zhu Jiahua is indeed a person whose means are poisonous and inaccessible.
As the saying goes, "three fires for a new official to take office," Zhu Jiahua immediately began a drastic and comprehensive reform after coming to Zhejiang, and in terms of personnel, the original provincial government leadership team was dismissed cleanly, except for Shen Anna's superior Xue Yuanyan, who was still in the central department, and everyone else left their posts.
However, even if Zhu Jiahua was fierce, he was still a man after all, and under shen Anna's enthusiastic attack, he gradually let down his guard against her.
He lurked with Chiang Kai-shek for 14 years
With the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, the domestic situation became more chaotic, and at this critical moment, Shen Anna met with Zhou Enlai and Dong Biwu, two meritorious figures of the CCP, and after some detailed discussion, the Party Central Committee decided to let Shen Anna send Her to Chiang Kai-shek's side to serve as an undercover agent.
After the Battle of Wuhan, Shen Anna followed her superiors on the road to Chongqing, and since Chiang Kai-shek had already moved the central government to Chongqing, it naturally became a new gathering place for Chiang Kai-shek and other high-ranking Kuomintang officials.
In 1938, Chiang Kai-shek used Shen Anna as a recorder at an important meeting, and at this meeting, Chiang Kai-shek once again expressed his "anti-communist" position and his next actions, fortunately, this matter was comprehensively recorded by the resourceful Shen Anna and sent to the underground party of the Communist Party, providing timely and accurate information on the countermeasures taken by our party in the future.
In 1940, Zhu Jiahua was promoted, and out of trust and goodwill, Zhu Jiahua soon reappointed Shen Anna, and almost every important meeting and activity would always take Shen Anna with him.
Once, Zhu Jiahua instructed Shen Anna to meet a mysterious and important official, Yang Gongda, who was a trump card of the Kuomintang government and an elderly figure in the city government, and it was of course unexpected to be able to contact such a big figure.
However, what really made Shen Anna known was that during the Chongqing negotiations in 1945, she was praised by Chairman Mao for sending important information.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shen Anna, who had "sincerely performed her duties" around Chiang Kai-shek and a number of high-ranking Kuomintang officials and dignitaries, naturally received pity, and Chiang Kai-shek was very optimistic about her and personally asked to take her to Taiwan, but Shen Anna suddenly disappeared at this juncture!
After that, Chiang Kai-shek, who felt more and more that things were not right, suddenly realized that Shen Anna was the CCP spy who had been lurking around him for 14 years!
So, where did the mysteriously missing Shen Anna go? Of course, she returned to the middle of the motherland and the people, and after that, she served in the Party Central Committee for a period of time.
After the founding of New China, Shen Anna was assigned to the State Security Bureau to become a glorious bureau-level cadre. In 1989, in order to express the great sacrifices and efforts made by Shen Anna to the free liberation of the country and the people over the years, the relevant departments of the state specially awarded her the "Unsung Hero Medal".
In 2010, the 95-year-old Shen Anna fell ill, this time, she also seemed to perceive that the fire of her life was about to be extinguished, before dying, Shen Anna was in a trance, and her mouth kept chanting: "Our identity is exposed, they have come to arrest people, run to the back, run fast, run fast!" ”。
Perhaps for an underground worker who has been lurking in the heart of the enemy for a long time, such an ending is already excellent, but Shen Anna also donated all the 100,000 yuan she saved to her alma mater, a great legend, a great woman before leaving!
