“
You and your husband and wife have gloriously fulfilled the mission entrusted to you by the Party and made important contributions to the cause of the revolution!
On New Year's Day 1955, Vice Chairman Dong Biwu received a return from the United States
When Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying were married, Premier Zhou said cordially
。
Premier Zhou's words made the couple, who had experienced ups and downs, burst into tears, and after 21 years of secret agent career, they finally returned to the embrace of the people.
Xie Hegeng, a native of Guilin, Guangxi, was born in the local Shuxiang Mendi, and his father was Xiucai in the late Qing Dynasty.
He is a family friend of Bai Chongxi's father-in-law
The second brother, Xie Tiemin, was a communist party member, who was the backbone of the Guilin student movement as early as the May Fourth Movement, and was engaged in agricultural movement work in Wuzhou and was also responsible
Guilin Republic of China Daily, Revolution Weekly, Education Daily
and other editorial work in the journal, propagating the revolution.
Unfortunately, in 1927, after the defeat of the Great Revolution, Xie Tiemin was unfortunately arrested and heroically defended outside the Lize Gate in Guilin, at the age of 22.
Xie Hegeng was 7 years younger than Xie Tiemin, but he was deeply influenced by Xie Tiemin, and after Xie Tiemin's sacrifice, 15-year-old Xie Hegeng devoted himself to his studies, successfully entered Peking University, and lived a peaceful life.
In the autumn of 1932, a mimeograph letter broke Xie and Geng's calm,
This was a letter of appeal issued by the patriotic elements in the Northwest Army to the young people in Pingjin, hoping to launch a national anti-Japanese movement
At the call of this letter, the 20-year-old Xie Hegeng rushed to the anti-Japanese front line in Chahar, joined the anti-Japanese allied army organized by Feng Yuxiang, and became a communist party member under the introduction of Xuanxia's father and others.
With the passage of time, the face of the Japanese army's all-round invasion of China was exposed, and the tactics of the organization also changed from opposing Chiang Kai-shek and resisting Japan to forcing Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan.
Therefore, Xie Hegeng, a native of Guilin, was sent to the Gui clan to do united front work, and before leaving, the leader of the Northern Bureau gave Xie and Geng four things: First,
Investigate the military and political situation in the upper echelons of the Gui clan
;ii,
Try to get close to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi
III.
Secretly launched a national anti-Japanese propaganda campaign
IV,
Write a few inconsequential words to Ji Hongchang's hotel manager in Tianjin every once in a while, and don't lose contact with the organization
For the sake of confidentiality,
Xie and Geng only had one-line contact with Xuanxia's father, and were directly led by Zhou Enlai and Li Kenong
In 1934, Xie and Geng met Feng Yuxiang with the help of Ji Hongchang, and Feng Yuxiang wrote a letter to Li Jishen, asking Li Jishen to recommend Xie hegeng into the Gui Army.
Because Li Jishen had contributed to the rise of the Gui clan, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi attached great importance to the people he recommended, and soon arranged for work.
Xie Hegeng was not from a military academy, could not lead soldiers to fight, and wanted to get ahead in the Gui Army and attract the attention of Li and Bai.
But Xie and Geng were smart people, and he did not take this path at all, but intended to use his knowledge and articles to attract them.
Soon, Xie and Geng pulled Bai Chongxi's brother-in-law Ma Zhongfu (the Xie family and the Ma family are family friends) to write a book
An Overview of China's Economy in the Semi-Colonial Regions
Through Ma Zhongfu, he also asked Bai Chongxi's high counselor Liu Fei to make a preface.
Immediately after, it was written again
"On the Impact of US Dumping Policy on China's Economy", "On Guangxi's Foreign Trade"
A few other articles were presented to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi as a late-school junior, and asked him to correct them.
As soon as Peking University's senior students made a move, they immediately attracted the attention of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, especially Bai Chongxi, who was known as "Little Zhuge Ge", and even more praised Xie he and Geng.
After learning that Bai Chongxi loved to read, Xie and Geng recommended some books to Bai Chongxi every three to five minutes, and this behavior was even more pleasing to Bai Chongxi, and Bai Chongxi gradually treated Xie and Geng as relatives and friends.
Soon, Bai Chongxi's father-in-law broke his leg and couldn't get out of his body, so he handed over the matter to Xie Hegeng to deal with, and Xie Hegeng suggested that Bai Chongxi ask a famous doctor to take a plane to see his father-in-law, and go with the doctor to make things beautiful.
Afterwards, Bai Chongxi thanked Xie he and Geng, the hard fortress gave him 200 yuan, talked about thanking him, after some resignation, Xie he Geng received 50 yuan.
Since then, Bai Chongxi has gradually begun to trust Xie and Geng,
By the winter of 1934, Xie Hegeng, who had been in the Gui clan for three or four months, had been able to enter and leave the residences of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi at will
After gaining a firm foothold, Xie and Geng introduced Xuanxia's father to the Gui clan, and the two of them continuously sent information to the organization.
Soon, in 1937, the war of aggression against China broke out in full swing, and in August of that year, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram inviting Bai Chongxi to Nanjing to discuss the anti-Japanese plan.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi hesitated not to go to Nanjing, for two reasons.
First, Li Zongren felt that the Japanese could not move too quickly, and second, because Bai Chongxi was Li Zongren's think tank, he was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would engage in conspiracies and tricks, and Bai Chongxi could not return
Xie Hegeng, who got the news, was very anxious, and he was very afraid that the difference between Li and Bai's thoughts would lead to the stranding of cooperation, so he gave Bai Chongxi a long letter overnight.
Analyzing the situation, he pointed out that Chiang Kai-shek would not act obstinately and run counter to the all-round resistance to Japan
In order to strengthen Li and Bai's determination to resist Japan, Xie Hegeng also said in the letter:
The all-round resistance against Japan was a great opportunity for the Gui clan to strike out Guangxi, break into chiang Kai-shek's ruling areas, and raise hopes among the people
Only in this way will Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi become the Heroes supported by the broad masses of the people!
After reading Xie hegeng's letter, Bai Chongxi finally decided to go to Nanjing, and when he left, he was still there
He took Xie and Geng with him and made him his confidential secretary
Sure enough, as Xie and Geng expected,
Bai Chongxi, who arrived in Nanjing, was appointed deputy chief of staff of the Nationalist government and became Chiang Kai-shek's number one think tank
At the September of this year' base camp defense conference,
Bai Chongxi recommended Xie he geng as the sole secretary of the meeting
Under the guidance of Secretary-General Zhang Qun, he made records of national defense meetings and the needs of meetings, and this position allowed Xie hegeng to understand more secrets.
According to what he learned, Xie he geng wrote a twelve-thousand-word article
Outline of the National Military Mobilization of the Whole People
One was sent to Yan'an through Li Kenong, and one was sent to Bai Chongxi.
After Bai Chongxi read it, he was very agreeable and adopted several points in the text, one of which was
It's about exchanging time for space
Soon, this article was seen by Li Zongren,
Li Zongren praised Xie and Geng as "very good" and promoted him to colonel.
Under the care and love of Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren,
Xie Hegeng soon obtained the "Eighth Grade Civilian Official Qualification Certificate" and became a member of the Kuomintang
The united front work is even more successful.
In March 1938, the Kuomintang organized generals above the commander of the division to train in Nanchang, and Bai Chongxi needed to speak, so Xie and Geng and two other secretaries wrote speeches for him.
After three days and three nights of hard thinking, Xie Hegeng wrote a manuscript of more than 14,000 words, but when he looked at it, he always felt that there was a quantity, but he lacked "quality", so he wanted Premier Zhou to help him correct the axe.
When he handed the manuscript to Li Kenong on the same day, Li Kenong immediately forwarded it to Premier Zhou, who helped him revise it overnight.
Xie Hegeng found that Premier Zhou had cut more than 2,000 words with a red pen, but the article was quite clear, which made him very happy
Soon, Bai Chongxi came to the stage to give a speech, although he did not take the speech, but the content of the lecture was exactly the same as that given to him by Xie hegeng, which shows how brilliant Xie Hegeng's manuscript is.
If Bai Chongxi knew that this manuscript was drafted by Xie Hegeng and amended with the help of Premier Zhou, I don't know how to feel...
While gaining Bai Chongxi's trust, Xie he and Geng also gained the favor of Bai Chongxi's wife Ma Peizhang, who tried her best to match him and her cousin Du Rong.
For the sake of united front work, Xie and Geng and Du Rong married
In this "arranged marriage", Xie and Geng did not achieve happiness, although after marriage, the two gave birth to a daughter, but after only 1 year together, the two separated.
In the spring of 1939, at the invitation of Li Zongren and his wife Guo Dejie, the "Chinese Salvation Theater Troupe" went to Guilin to perform, where Xie he geng met the actress Wang Ying.
Soon, Guilin fell, Xie hegeng and Wang Wangying, and then went to Chongqing, because of the relationship between work, the two frequent contact, fell in love.
Unfortunately, this relationship is not favored by people,
First of all, Comrades Guo Moruo and Tian Han, because Xie hegeng's identity was highly secretive, they believed that Wang Ying was naturally degenerate and willing to make concubines for the warlord's lackeys
And the people in the Gui clan also think
Wang Ying is using beauty, plus Xie and Geng already have a wife, and they are strongly opposed to this relationship
Fortunately, Premier Zhou knew the truth and persuaded everyone to believe Wang Ying, which suppressed the opposition of his own camp.
whereas
Wang Ying, after falling in love with Xie Hegeng, once took the Salvation Theater Troupe to Nanyang to perform, raising a large amount of military salaries for Gui Jun, plus Bai Chongxi understood Xie hegeng's pain in the "arranged marriage" and never interfered with Xie Hegeng's interaction with Wang Ying
In December 1941, the Pacific War broke out, both the Kuomintang and the Communists sent a group of students to the United States, and fortunately, Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying were on the list.
Before leaving the country, Premier Zhou talked to the two of them and said to them:
You are in love, completely legitimate, after coming to the United States, I hope you will learn from each other and sincerely love each other!
”。
After arriving in the United States, Xie he geng entered the American Institute of World Affairs and studied as a researcher at Northwestern University in Philadelphia State University.
He entered the overseas Chinese newspaper "New York New News", was responsible for translating and writing editorials, and used this public opinion position to publicize the CPC's anti-Japanese policy and win the support of a large number of overseas Chinese and the American people
And Wang Ying, after completing her studies at Beman College and Yale University, entered the World Youth Student Congress.
The speech written for her by Xie and Geng was used to publicize China's War of Resistance to the people of the United States and the world
Besides
She also formed a Chinese theater troupe, toured all over the United States, did united front work, and was highly praised by US President Roosevelt and his wife
In 1950, after 8 years of common struggle in the United States, the two married,
When they were married, Xie Hegeng was 38 years old and Wang Ying was 37 years old
After the founding of New China, Xie and Geng had been seeking the opportunity to return to China, but unfortunately failed to make the trip, in 1954, the identity of the couple was exposed, they were thrown into prison, and when the US authorities threatened the two to become American nationals, they were rejected by righteous words:"
We are Chinese and will never become A.S. citizenship
Soon, the news of the arrest of Xie and Geng reached the ears of Premier Zhou, who immediately exchanged American prisoners of war for Xie and Geng.
Then, there is the paragraph at the beginning of the article, when Dong Biwu received Xie and Geng and his wife.
After returning to China, Xie and Geng were arranged to work at the People's Publishing House, while Wang Ying entered the Beijing Studio as an editor.
After 21 years of undercover career, Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying enjoyed a rare period of calm time, but unfortunately, the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop.
In 1957,
Xie and Geng became involved in the struggle, became rightists, and were sent to heilongjiang 850 farms to work
After 2 years of inhuman torture, until Premier Zhou came forward, he returned to Beijing and was reunited with his wife, and the couple moved to Beijing Xiangshan Wolf SeeGou to live quietly.
Soon, in 1966, the catastrophe came, and Xie and Geng were destroyed.
In February 1967, a group of small soldiers rushed into Xie and Geng's house to raid the house and take the couple away to torture them. This involves a grudge more than 30 years ago.
Wang Ying, a native of Wuhu, Anhui, was born in a cold and bitter background, her father was a bank clerk, her mother was a music teacher, influenced by her mother, Wang Ying loved to sing and dance since childhood, but unfortunately, when she was 9 years old, her mother died, her father continued the string, Wang Ying was sent to the church monastery to live, and at the age of 11, she was sold to be a child bride.
Wang Ying, who was extremely harsh on Wang Ying and really couldn't stand it, fled to Changsha and joined her uncle's family, and at the age of 14, she was sent to Xiangya Hospital to study as a nurse, where Wang Ying accepted revolutionary ideas and participated in revolutionary activities with her classmates.
In 1928, when Wang Ying sent intelligence to the organization, she was discovered by the reactionaries, and under the cover of comrades, she went to Shanghai, met Xia Yan, Ah Ying and other comrades, and joined the "Shanghai Art Drama Society".
Wang Ying, who has a certain foundation and is lively and bold, quickly stands out, first as a supporting role, and then as a protagonist, and embarks on the road of literature and art.
In 1930, at the age of 17, Wang Ying became a party member, and while acting, actively participated in revolutionary activities, she starred
"The Fan of the Little Grandmother", "The Cry of women", "Liberty God"
And so on, all of which caused a warm response.
In 1936, Xia Yan's national defense drama "Sai Jinhua" was to be put on the drama stage, and Xia Yan at that time was extremely well-known, and almost everyone who played the drama was popular, so the competition was extremely fierce.
Jiang Qing, who was still called Lan Ping at the time, also wanted to star in this play, but unfortunately was defeated by Wang Ying, and went home with tears, and later, the tabloids added oil and vinegar to report on this matter, which made Lan Ping lose face and resentment, and once put down harsh words:"
Wait, one day the old lady will settle the account with you.
This waited until the "catastrophe" 30 years later.
Did Jiang Qing deal with Wang Ying just because he stole her play? Not quite,
Mainly because Wang Ying and others know her history
In July 1967, Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying were thrown into Qincheng Prison.
In 1974, Wang Ying, who had suffered for seven years of inhuman torture, died at the age of 61
Learning of the death of his wife,
Xie and Geng were devastated, deaf in both ears, unable to speak, and losing the ability to think
In 1975, under the care of Premier Zhou, Xie Hegeng was released from prison, when he was 63 years old, his beloved wife died, and he was sick and miserable, you can imagine how desolate.
Fortunately, after treatment, Xie and Geng slowly recovered, and after the catastrophe, they entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In 2006, Xie and Geng completed the road of life at the age of 94.
