"As an agent, first of all, instead of disguising themselves, they destroy themselves, they live in the night, but they can't be swallowed up by the night, they live in the sun, but they can't bathe in warmth, they have no name, only a unified brand. - The Movie "The Secret Agent"
War and crisis were the main themes of China's story in the first half of the last century. Before 1949, Chinese suffered too many grievances and humiliations, especially in the 1930s, when the Japanese and Kosovars entered the Central Plains in a big way, and the eight-year-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression between China and Japan began.
War and pain are often the most embodied in human nature, but also the most tested human nature, there are many ancestors of heroic martyrs in order to save the land of China helplessly sacrificed, but some people resolutely abandoned their Chinese compatriots and became traitors. They show us a moving story of joy or sorrow.
Today we are going to tell the story of a special agent, she is Zhang Chunlian, who is known as one of the "four beautiful female agents in China".
Born into poverty, he became a secret agent
Zhang Chunlian is a native of Hebei, from a poor family, not enough to eat, not enough to wear, not warm, and has not read any books. At the age of 13, he was sold by his father to the landlord's house and became the landlord's concubine. In that era of frequent wars, Zhang Chunlian was determined to open up a way for herself to live, so she took advantage of the war to escape from the landlord's house, regained her freedom, and entered the military academy alone.
In the 1930s, Chiang Kai-shek gradually realized that it would not work to confront Japan and needed a group of agents to be responsible for the collection of information, so the Nationalist government began to attach importance to the training of agents and recruited a group of potential people.
Zhang Chunlian was still a student at a military academy at that time, and with her beautiful appearance and outstanding talents, Zhang was caught in the eye of Mao Renfeng and entered the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, that is, "military unification."
Zhang Chunlian is a woman who knows very well what she wants. It is said that Mao Renfeng fell in love with Zhang Chunlian at first sight, and the two also had a child, of course, this is all an afterthought. Zhang Chunlian clearly realized that she could not stop here, and soon she began to throw herself at the red man in front of Chiang Kai-shek at that time, Dai Kasa, and wanted to rely on him to climb up. Relying on her appearance and ability, as well as the weight of the organization, Zhang Chunlian quickly obtained a large amount of Information and Intelligence of the Japanese Army and became a well-known high-quality agent of the military command.
Speak in small words, and think of your fellow citizens
In 1945, the all-out War of Resistance came to an end. China began a period of civil war. At this time, Zhang Chunlian was still working in the military command, and at the request of the Kuomintang, she continued to collect intelligence and information. But this time, the object of information collection is no longer the Japanese, but their own compatriots. In addition to collecting information, Zhang Chunlian was also asked to deal with the people around her in a timely manner.
However, Zhang Chunlian knew very well that these people were Chinese and were her own compatriots, and she could never prey on her own compatriots. After having such a clear understanding, Zhang Chunlian became more careful in every activity.
On the one hand, she took over the tasks assigned by the Kuomintang and superficially catered to Dai Kasa's demands. On the other hand, she gave up her identity as a military command agent, did not steal core information, and even secretly released our party staff five times, saving the lives of countless compatriots from the hands of the god of death.
He soon discovered that Zhang Chunlian's behavior was abnormal, and soon realized that Zhang Chunlian was helping the Communists behind his back.
He was determined to get rid of Zhang Chunlian, but the weather was unpredictable, and once when he went out to take a plane, the plane unfortunately crashed, and Dai Kasa died. And another man, Mao Renfeng, who had helped himself and supported himself, also avoided Zhang Chunlian like Dai Kasa, and even made up his mind to cut the grass and remove the roots, and Zhang Chunlian was once disheartened.
No one to contact, the countryside field to set up a home
In 1949, the Kuomintang was weakening and frequently sent out from Chongqing that it was going south to enter Taiwan. Zhang Chunlian thought that Mao Renfeng would remember her old feelings in the past, took her into Taiwan with her, and arranged a job for her, but Mao Renfeng did not do so, he deceived Zhang Chunlian and said that he first sent Zhang Chunlian to the countryside of Shaanxi to investigate, and after a period of time secretly sent someone to take her back to Taiwan.
In October 1949, New China was officially established. Zhang Chunlian never received any news from Mao Renfeng again. She tried many times to contact the Kuomintang, but to no avail, her former colleagues disappeared, and finally she gave up, and she realized that she had become an outcast with no one to contact.
In order to hide her true identity, Zhang Chunlian had to marry a farmer in northern Shaanxi and became a rural woman who went to the field to farm and have children, and Zhang Chunlian raised a total of eight children before and after.
In the year of obedience, the act of kindness and righteousness saved his life
In the 1960s, Zhang Xiulian gradually realized that although she had married a human woman and hidden as a rural woman, her past could not be completely covered up.
During a conversation, she inadvertently revealed her situation and quickly became the focus of attention, and some even claimed that she was going to be imprisoned and killed.
However, China's government and officials are very reasonable, they began to investigate in depth the relevant situation of Zhang Chunlian, and found that Zhang Chunlian had obtained a large amount of intelligence from the Japanese army during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and made great contributions to the cause of our War of Resistance.
More than twenty years ago, Zhang Chunlian may not have thought that her sympathy and sincerity for her compatriots finally helped herself and saved her life.
As the saying goes: "Unintentional willow into the yin." As a Kuomintang agent, Zhang Chunlian helped her compatriots while working, and finally exchanged her peace and smoothness. At the age of 80, she finally closed her eyes and ended her complicated and great life.
Zhang Chunlian, she was the girl who was abandoned by her father to become a landlord's concubine when she was 11 years old, she was a beautiful agent who entered the military command in the 30s and contributed to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and she was also the rural woman who went deep into the countryside of northern Shaanxi and married a human woman.
Zhang Chunlian has had many major changes in her role in this life, but she has gladly accepted it, and has helped many people and helped herself with her kindness.
