On May 27, 1949, Shanghai was completely liberated, and the People's Liberation Army entered the urban area, which was enthusiastically supported by the citizens of Shanghai. As the first mayor of Shanghai, Chen Yi had a very heavy burden on him, not only to control Shanghai's economy and suppress inflation, but also to fight against the Kuomintang agents lurking in Shanghai, and even received the "treatment" of sending bullets in letters, but the mayor of Chen Yi was calm about these threats.
Chen Yi spoke to the Shanghai delegates
On May 30, the third day after the liberation of Shanghai, Chen Yi received a telegram from Beijing from Li Kenong, the acting head of the Central Intelligence Department, the "King of Agents." Li Kenong said in a telegram:
In the winter of 1937, Yan'an sent Li Jing'an (Li Bai), who was sent to Shanghai to work underground, was dropped by Trauscha.
After reading the telegram sent by Li Kenong, Chen Yi realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately informed the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to investigate the whereabouts of Comrade Li Bai.
On June 20, the news revealed by the masses,
Shanghai public security officers found 12 bodies tied up by five flowers at the Qijia Temple, their clothes worn and unrecognizable. pass through
It was confirmed that these remains were all revolutionary martyrs who were brutally killed by Kuomintang agents, and one of them was Li Bai, whom Li Kenong was looking for!
Who is Li Bai, when was he killed, and why is he so valued by Li Kenong?
The masses in Shanghai read the notices
Why don't boys bring Wu hooks
People say that the children of poor families have long been in charge, and Li Bai has a deep understanding of this.
In 1910, Li Bai was born into a poor family in Liuyang, Hunan. Because there is no land, the Li family can only live on a small family dyeing room, and 5-year-old Li Bai has become a small worker in the dyeing room. When Li Bai was 8 years old, his mother and grandmother died of illness one after another, and his father was forced to close the dyeing house for his livelihood and go out to work, leaving Li Bai to take care of his younger siblings. When the younger brothers and sisters were slightly older, in order to let them have books to read in the future, Li Bai followed his father to work in other places.
During the period of part-time work, Li Bai suffered from the white eyes of others and deeply felt the hardships of the toiling masses.
He couldn't help but ask heaven: "The same are all people, why do some people eat steamed buns without doing anything, but we work hard but have nothing?" ”
In 1925, the wave of revolution swept through Hunan, and Li Bai, who was only 15 years old, finally understood that the poor people in the world had the same doubts as him. So Li Bai decided to rebel against all this, and joined the local agricultural cooperative with his father to carry out a vigorous peasant movement.
In 1927, Li Bai participated in the "Autumn Harvest Uprising" organized by Chairman Mao, and after 3 years, he officially joined the ranks of the Red Army and went up Jinggangshan.
In 1931, during the first anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, the Red Army captured a radio station. The leaders of the Red Army knew the importance of communication, so they set up a radio training class, and Li Bai, who had a good mathematical talent, was selected to enter the training class and began to work in intelligence.

In the subsequent anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations, Li Bai served as the political commissar of the radio team of the Red Fifth Army, formed a strong technical unit, and won many commendations from the headquarters.
In 1937, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began their second cooperation.
Li Bai, alias "Li Xia", went to Shanghai to work together with Li Kenong, and since then has taken root in Shanghai, passing on one important piece of intelligence after another, which has affected the war situation many times.

Underground workers under the eyes of the "tiger and wolf"
When Li Bai first arrived in Shanghai, there were "tiger and wolf eyes" everywhere, and there were Japanese, Kuomintang, and Wang puppet governments, all pervasive, and it was in such an environment that Li Bai created one miracle after another.
The first thing to do is to solve the location and equipment problems. Under the efforts of many organizations, he finally found a building in Xiafei Road in the French Concession, and Li Bai had a place to live, just waiting for the radio parts to be in place.
After three months of unremitting efforts, the work of building Taiwan was finally completed.
Late one night in 1938, Li Bai moved the transmitter and sent the first telegram to Yan'an.
In this way, a "secret" bridge was built between Shanghai and Yan'an.
In 1942, Li Bai ushered in a double harvest of work and love. In order to ensure his safety, the organization sent a 21-year-old textile factory worker Qiu Huiying to pretend to be his wife. The two gradually developed feelings in the process of getting along, and after the approval of the organization, the two were officially married. The work of the two is more and more tacit understanding, and the feelings are becoming more and more intense.
After a mission, Li Bai excitedly said to his wife: "You have worked hard. “
Qiu Huiying replied shyly, "Don't say this in the future, I am your wife." ”
Li Bai showed a sad look on his face: "My work is very dangerous, after today there may be no tomorrow." ”
Qiu Huiying raised her tearful eyes and looked at her husband: "Don't forget, I am also in the revolution, life and death I have long seen, I just want to day and night, not forever." ”
Three times in prison, the "Father of Radio" fell before dawn
On August 14, 1942, Japanese gendarmes suddenly attacked Li Bai's residence. Li Bai finished the telegram as quickly as possible, then dismantled the transmitter, and hid the parts under the movable floor.
However, the radio parts were still found by the Japanese gendarmerie, and the Japanese army Daisa, smiling, knocked Li Bai to the ground and asked, "What is this?" ”
Li Bai beat him to death and did not recognize: "I don't know, I am in business." ”
Enraged, the Japanese soldier put the butt of his rifle on Li Bai's stomach and then escorted Li Bai and his wife to the cells of the Japanese Gendarmerie Command.
The Japanese army repeatedly beat Li Bai and his wife, pulling out their nails and sitting on tiger stools, but Li Bai and his wife bit and killed those parts only for the assembly of commercial radios. In desperation, the Japanese army released Qiu Huiying. The following year, under the vigorous rescue of China's Special Branch, Li Bai was also released from prison.
In 1944, Li Bai, who was shuttling between Jiangxi and Zhejiang, was captured by the Kuomintang, and the radio he hid in the basket was turned over, but because of the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, Li Bai was soon released.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long,
In 1948, a nightmarish turn of events suddenly came.
In the early morning of December 30, 1948, a long telegram was sent from the apartment at No. 15, Lane 107, Huangdu Road, Shanghai, and the content of the telegram was that four months later, the People's Liberation Army broke through the Defense Map of the Yangtze River, and the reporter was Li Bai, and this telegram also became the best song of his secret service career.
Stills from "The Eternal Wave"
When this telegram was sent, the Kuomintang agent had already rushed to Li Bai's downstairs, and he sent the telegram in the fastest way.
And typed a line at the end: Comrades, goodbye, I miss you.
In prison, Li Bai endured the severe torture of the enemy, but did not reveal a trace of the organization's secrets. On May 7, 1949, on the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, Li Bai and 11 other comrades were taken to the Qijia Temple and secretly shot.
On May 27, when the People's Liberation Army captured Shanghai, Li Bai fell before dawn, and when she learned of her husband's death, Qiu Huiying cried out with tears in her heart: "It's dawn, we're waiting for you, you come back..."
In 1958, Li Bai's deeds were made into the movie "The Eternal Electric Wave", which has been passed down for half a century.
