In modern times, there are many benevolent people who have sacrificed their lives to save the country from danger, and these people we call heroes. Heroes emerged during the war years, and some people chose to shout their names in front of the enemy, and their voices merged with the environment to become a magnificent epic picture.
However, there are others who choose to hide their real names and surnames in front of the enemy, go undercover, and silently work for the rise and fall of the country. Today we are going to tell a story about an undercover agent, who chose to sacrifice her innocence in order to carry out the mission, but in the end she was scolded and frivolous because of the failure of the mission, and was captured and shot by the enemy at the age of 23. Who is she?
Wen Wan's beautiful Zheng Ping is like a family photo
She is a controversial female agent, when the motherland is in danger, she is different from ordinary people, she chooses to abandon the past solid life, devote herself to the military, obtain intelligence information for the country, dance in danger, and are not afraid of sacrifice. She is beautiful in appearance, noble in birth, and has the longing of many people around her, but she herself does not have the image of a degenerate woman like "a businesswoman who does not know how to hate the country", and she is willing to sacrifice her innocence when performing her mission, and finally she is shot. Her name is Zheng Pingru.
Zheng Pingru, a woman who died at the age of 23, she is a hero who does not let her eyebrows be shaved. Born in 1918, Zheng Pingru is an authentic celebrity. To speak of her, we must first mention her father. Her father, Zheng Yu, was active before and after the Xinhai Revolution, followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the revolution all his life, and it can be said that he was one of the elders of the democratic revolution and the Kuomintang. In the early years, a number of revolutionaries on the mainland liked to study in Japan, and Zheng Yu was no exception.
Zheng Pingru, who innocently loves to laugh
When he was young, he chose to study at Hosei University in Japan, and later joined the League in Japan and began revolutionary activities. While carrying out his revolutionary activities, he met a Japanese woman, Hanako Kimura. Although the woman named Hanako Kimura was Japanese, she opposed the war and expressed deep sympathy for the plight of the Chinese revolutionaries. She often provided important information to the revolutionaries and helped the League and others to carry out their activities.
After meeting Zheng Yu, she fell in love at first sight, and the feelings of the two people developed very quickly, and the two people had a good feeling for each other, and then they married. After marrying Zheng Yu, Kimura Hanako changed her name to Zheng Huajun, and the two had 5 children after marriage, three daughters and two sons, zheng Pingru is their second daughter.

Soon in 1937, the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japan, Zheng Yu and Zheng Huajun chose to return to China to participate in the revolution, although Zheng Huajun was Japanese, she hated the brutal acts of Japanese imperialism very much, she opposed aggression and loved peace, and after her husband Zheng Yu joined the anti-Japanese team, she also chose to join without hesitation. The influence of the family is enormous, and under the influence of her parents, Zheng Pingru was also influenced by revolutionary ideas and chose to fight with her parents against the invaders of the Japanese Empire.
In 1937, Zheng Pingru had just celebrated her 19th birthday, when she was originally a student who graduated from high school and went to college, but the invasion of Japanese invaders shattered her dream of going to college. In this case, Zheng Pingru did not forget the oath taught to her by his parents to save the country from danger.
So in Shanghai, she chose to join the Central Command Department, providing intelligence to the Central Command with her fluent Japanese, and engaged in underground work. At that time, she also obtained their intelligence by making friends with Japanese puppets, and the news of the surrender of the Wang puppet government to Japan was the first to be obtained by Zheng Pingru.
The naïve and cheerful Zheng Pingru
At this time, the Central Unification Department was confronting the Wang puppet government, and at that time, the destructive power of the Wang puppet government No. 76 was very strong, and the Central Unification was often hit hard by them. There was a big leader in No. 76 named Timmerton, this person was once a person under the Central Command, and later defected, choosing to defect to the Wang puppet government, he was very familiar with the internal activities of the Central Unification, and was one of the greatest enemies of the Central Unification. In order to ensure the normal development of the central unification activities, Chongqing sent a secret telegram to Chen Baohua, the person in charge of the Shanghai lurking area, asking him to get rid of this serious problem as soon as possible.
Chen Baohua also has a certain understanding of Ding Mo dun, he knows that Ding is a lustful person, so after careful consideration, he chooses to use the beauty plan to subdue Ding Mo Dun. Chen Baohua started from Timmerton's weakness, selected a beautiful female agent in the department to seduce him, and then killed him in one fell swoop. After careful selection, he chose Zheng Pingru to carry out this mission.
Stills of Tang Wei
After Zheng Pingru accepted the task, she chose to disguise herself, dressed herself up as a woman who had just come out of society, looked very pure and did not understand anything, and then went to meet Timmerton. She quickly gained Timmerton's trust with her posture. After several months of interaction, Timmerton was inseparable from Zheng Pingru, although Dingmerton's men often reminded him to pay attention to the woman next to him, to note that she had a father from the Central Command. However, Dingmerton only cared about the beauty of the greedy Zheng Pingru, and even if he could take care of these things, he regarded the kind reminders of his subordinates as a bystander.
Chen Baohua believed that the time had come to assassinate Timmerton, so he ordered the assassins to be deployed in a place called Wan yi fang to carry out the assassination operation. However, the assassination operation was unsuccessful, and Timmerton realized that something was wrong and chose to "slip away". Regrettably, the first assassination attempt ended in failure.
Zheng Pingru
Two years later, in 1939, Timmerton made a phone call to Zheng Pingru and asked her to come out and join her at a friend's banquet. The internal consultation of the Central Unification decided to let Zheng Pingru lure him out under the pretext of buying a leather coat, and then let the Central Commandery personnel lurking in the shadows assassinate him. Soon Ding Moton and Zheng Pingru arrived at the agreed place, and after arriving, Ding first asked the driver to park the car across the road, and then took Zheng Pingru's hand and swung into the leather goods store.
Timmerton was a suspicious man, and inside the store he glanced out the window with his afterglow and saw several suspiciously acting people on the street with a stack of newspapers in their arms. After he realized that the situation was not right, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, threw them on the counter, and then said to Zheng Pingru, who was choosing a leather coat next to him: "You choose yourself first, I will go first." ”

When he had finished, he turned and left the leather shop, ran quickly to the opposite side, and got into the car parked there. The driver reacted immediately and then quickly drove away from the scene. Although Zheng Pingru had a posture, she still lacked a little experience, and after seeing this scene, she hurriedly wanted to run out, but she stopped just taking two steps. The lurkers who were ambushed in the vicinity at that time got up and fired several shots at the moving car, but to no avail, and the second assassination plan that Zheng Pingru participated in ended in failure.
On the same night, the head of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai, Shadow Sasaki, invited senior cadre No. 76, and Timmerton accepted the invitation and came to the banquet. Only to see Ding Moton slowly enter the banquet hall, Li Shiqun, who was next to the banquet, discovered Ding's strange appearance, so he sent someone to spy on Ding Moton. Timmerton is a smart man, he thinks that the two assassinations should be related to Zheng Pingru, but the lustful he does not want to lose Zheng Pingru, he thinks about how to keep Zheng Pingru and let her be his lover in peace and stability.
Li Shiqun obtained important information about Ding from the surveillance personnel, which he believed was an important weapon to drive Ding down. Therefore, Li Shiqun did not give up this opportunity, went directly to Ding Moton's residence, and handed over the information in his hand to Ding for inspection. Ding Mo dun knew that Li Shiqun had his handle in his hand, so he had to agree to arrest Zheng Pingru under pressure.
The Central Unification has always regarded the assassination of Dingmerton as an important task, and they have seen the third opportunity. Zheng Pingru received an order from the Central Command to visit Timmerton at No. 76 and then take the opportunity to assassinate him. However, what Zheng Pingru did not expect happened, Li Shiqun was there waiting for Zheng Pingru to take the bait. Subsequently, Zheng Pingru was arrested by Li Shiqun.
After Zheng Pingru was arrested, she was questioned by Interrogator No. 76, and she admitted that she had invited Ding's assassins, because Ding Merton had a crush on other women, so she invited these thugs to teach him a lesson. During the interrogation, she denied that she had any relationship with the CCP. Li Shiqun was very well informed, and he still learned all the plans and facts about Ding's assassination from the mouths of others.

The Japanese wanted to take advantage of Zheng Pingru's father, Zheng Yu, but they were worried that they would not find the opportunity, so they had an excuse. After Zheng Pingru was captured, the Japanese sent someone to report to Zheng Yu that as long as he was willing to assist the Japanese army in providing intelligence to the Japanese, they could let No. 76 release his daughter. Zheng Yu is well aware of the great righteousness and will never betray the country because of his daughter. Therefore, he directly refused the Japanese request.
In the middle of the night one day in February 1940, a prisoner in a prison cart carried a prisoner to a desolate execution ground southwest of Shanghai, and the person in the prison cart was Zheng Pingru. Only to see that the execution ground at that time was deserted, there was nothing but silence, and this silence made people feel very frightened. After arriving at the execution ground, Zheng Pingru was pulled down.
Zheng Pingru was wearing a golden wool underwear, a red leather coat on the outside, a necklace with photos hanging around her neck, and a bright diamond ring on her hand, which looked very beautiful and moving. She had a very flat expression and stood there quietly.

Zheng Pingru, who was standing on the execution ground, was thinking about her elderly parents in the distance, thinking about her brothers and sisters who grew up with her, and she was very much looking forward to living a happy life with her family, but these things would no longer be realized. After a while, she said lightly to Lin Zhijiang, who carried out the execution order: "If you and I have a chance, we can meet underground." If you have the heart, please don't shoot me in the face, so as not to ruin my appearance. After Lin Zhijiang heard this, he had no other thoughts except pity. After three gunshots, the 23-year-old woman left the world.
Although Zheng Pingru has died of incense, gossip about her has been circulating. After Zheng Pingru's death, many newspapers and periodicals published her assassination of Dingmerton because of emotional problems. So she became the kind of wandering woman that people say will only show off her posture. Later, it was rumored that she was not a female agent of the Central Command at all, but an ordinary woman who was originally unknown, and assassinated Timmerton only for fame and for the pursuit of excitement.

But how can one know how a woman who is only seeking fame and excitement can easily give her young life because of this? Now those who once had contacts with Zheng Pingru are no longer alive, and the specific historical information about her past can no longer be examined in detail, but in modern history, her strong patriotic feelings cannot be questioned.
In 1982, Zheng Pingru was posthumously awarded the title of revolutionary martyr, and her relics were preserved in the Shanghai Longhua Revolutionary Cemetery for people to visit. Such a heroine, who would rather sacrifice her innocence to carry out a mission, gave her life at a young age, and who would not sigh for her?
