One day in 2010, an elderly man in his 90s was admitted to a hospital in Beijing. Because of the nervous tension, I was already unconscious, but my mouth kept muttering, "I'm exposed, go fast, go through the back door." ”
In the face of the old man's muttering, people can't help but wonder about her origins, who is she? What has it been like to have experienced that makes nerves so tense? This made the attending doctor very puzzled, and after the doctor learned about the situation, he could not help but look at the old man in awe.
It turned out that this old man was the strongest female agent in history - Shen Anna, why did she say that she was the strongest female agent? Because she lurked around the enemy for 14 years, obtained a lot of intelligence, but was able to retreat completely. So how did she do it?
Shen Anna was born in 1915 in Taixing, Jiangsu Province, a scholarly mendi, from an early age smart and clever, 3 years old can read and write, 4 years old can write poetry. Under the guidance of her father, Shen Anna wrote quickly and well, and was a well-known local "little prodigy".
When Shen Anna was 7 years old, the family wanted to wrap her little feet. At first, Shen Anna always resisted, but she couldn't resist the ideas of the adults, so Shen Anna cut the cloth strip that wrapped her little feet at night.
Shen Anna's parents saw that their daughter was so insistent and unwilling to wrap her feet, so they also obeyed her and helped persuade the elders of the family to no longer wrap Anna's feet. It was also from then on that Shen Anna woke up and had her own views and opinions on many things.
In 1932, Shen Anna's father and uncle died one after another, and after the family lost its pillars, the living standard gradually declined. The family arranged an arranged marriage for Shen Anna's sister Shen Yina, and Shen Yina decided to run away from home and go to Shanghai in order to rebel against her family.
Shen Anna lived with her sister in Shanghai, which was a very open and prosperous city at that time, but the Shen sisters did not find opportunities in Shanghai to change their destiny. Not only that, but they also have a deep understanding of the cruelty of society.
Although Shen Anna is still studying at school, she understands that with her current ability, she cannot gain a foothold in Shanghai. The family is backward in the road, and the family cannot help her, so every day is a heavy heart.
In the Spring Festival of 1934, Shen Anna's sisters could not buy a ticket because of insufficient travel expenses, and could not go home for the New Year, so they could only stay in Shanghai. When she went to her teacher's house to visit the New Year, Shen Anna happened to meet the alumnus of the school, one was a graduate, named Shu Rixin; the other was Hua Mingzhi, a senior who was one year higher than her, and they talked happily at the teacher's home.
After that, Sister Shen Anna often went to Enshi's house to promote long talks, and at that time they did not know that Enshi, Shu Rixin, Hua Mingzhi and others were Communist Party members. Under their influence, Shen Anna had a deep understanding of the Chinese Communist Party, because they often chatted together, and shen Yina had a good feeling for Shu Rixin and soon became a partner with Shu Rixin.
Shen Anna had to drop out of school because she really didn't have money to pay tuition. At the suggestion of her sister and brother-in-law Shu Rixin, Shen Anna wanted to take advantage of her fast and good writing to go to a shorthand school to learn shorthand so that she could make a living later.
After making up her mind, Shen Anna found a Bingxun shorthand school with low fees and fast results. Here, Shen Anna's strengths have been brought into play, and she can record 200 words per minute, which has been appreciated by everyone from the bottom of her heart. Because Hua Mingzhi took good care of Shen Anna, the two fell in love soon after. Shen Anna joined the party organization under the cultivation of Hua Mingzhi and her brother-in-law Shu Rixin.

At the end of 1934, because the Kuomintang Zhejiang Provincial Government was in shortfall shortage, it sent people to the school to recruit stenographers. Because of Shen Anna's excellent performance in school, the school arranged for Shen Anna to go to the internship with another classmate. Faced with such treatment, Shen Anna hesitated.
Under the influence of her mentor, Shen Anna was not willing to do things for the Kuomintang, and she wanted to contribute to the revolutionary cause rather than work under the Kuomintang. Shen Anna then wrote to Shu Rixin, asking for his opinion.
After receiving the letter, Shu Rixin immediately reported the matter to his superior leader Wang Xuewen. After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xuewen believes that Shen Anna's entry into the Zhejiang Provincial Government will give her access to more important documents favorable to the party organization, so she is very supportive of Shen Anna's entry into the provincial government.
Shu Rixin immediately conveyed Wang Xuewen's idea to Shen Anna, and Shen Anna also understood the importance of this job. Although you can't go to the battlefield, the importance of obtaining intelligence is no less important than going to the battlefield. Without going into the tiger's den to get the tiger, Shen Anna immediately packed her bags and stepped on the train to Zhejiang Province.
During her internship at the Zhejiang Provincial Government, because of Shen Anna's outstanding performance, she was transferred to the Zhejiang Provincial Government Secretariat as a stenographer in the Deliberation Section of the Zhejiang Provincial Government Secretariat, engaged in confidential intelligence work.
Shen Anna was not yet 20 years old at the time, and it was precisely when she had the heart to serve the country and her ambitions were high, but she had to put away her full of fighting spirit, suppress her yearning for revolution, and be a small clerk in the dark Kuomintang provincial government.
Because Shen Anna can memorize 200 words per minute, and the handwriting is correct. This makes its capabilities stand out in the provincial government. At meetings large and small, Shen Anna could be seen buried in the record, which also allowed her to collect a large number of confidential documents of the Kuomintang.
In her work, Shen Anna and Xue Yuanyan, head of the deliberative section of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, have a good relationship. In order to gain a firm foothold in the Council, she recognized Lady Xue as her mother, and Xue Yuanyan took special care of Shen Anna and let Shen Anna move to her own home.
In her free time, Shen Anna will take the initiative to help Xue Yuanyan's children do tutoring and seriously help them with their homework. In this way, Shen Anna continued to quietly collect intelligence and sort out documents under the protection of Xue Yuanyan.
After working for a while, Shen Anna received a letter from her sister Shen Ina. The letter said that she and Shu Rixin were about to get married, and hoped that Shen Anna could return to Shanghai to help. After taking a good leave of absence, Shen Anna picked up several more important confidential documents, mixed them in her clothes, and unknowingly brought them back to Shanghai.
After meeting with her sister, Shen Anna took out the "new wedding gift" given to her sister, and Shen Yina was shocked and afraid. After instructing Shen Anna not to be so reckless, Shu Rixin praised Shen Anna for her courage and strategy, calm and calm.
Shu Rixin handed over the "new wedding gift" brought back by Shen Anna to Wang Xuewen, who was so excited that he cried with joy, praised Shen Anna, and warned her to pay attention to safety in action, and the first time to pass on information was successful, and must not be careless in the future.
On the other hand, Xue Yuanyan was very satisfied with Shen Anna, often lamenting why there was no son who was the same age as Shen Anna, so that she could be a daughter-in-law. Xue Yuanyan did not hesitate to praise Shen Anna, and repeatedly praised Shen Anna in front of Zhejiang Provincial Chairman Huang Shaohu and Secretary General Zhu Jiahua for her ability and careful and responsible work.

Shen Anna is not only good at disguise, but she also uses the convenience of her position to play well with The Kuomintang elders Ju Zheng and Yu Youren, and often asks them for calligraphy works. The calligraphy works were also hung high by Shen Anna, hanging in the most conspicuous and eye-catching places. Everyone else also thought that Shen Anna respected them very much and had a good relationship with them, so they did not dare to easily offend Shen Anna.
For the transmission of information, Shen Anna first wrote it with an invisible potion, and then clipped her in a letter sent to her sister and sent it out. But once, the invisible potion failed, and before it was delivered to her sister, the handwriting was already revealed.
The party organization immediately decided to let Shen Anna stop this method of transmitting intelligence, and arranged for the information to be sent back to Shanghai by Shen Anna or let Shen Yina go to Hangzhou to get it. But sister Shen Anna rushed back and forth to send intelligence, after all, it was not a long-term solution.
After consultation, the party organization decided that Hua Mingzhi would go to Hangzhou to find Shen Anna for information during the holiday time. Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi were lovers for a long time, and Hua Mingzhi was working on the radio station of the Shanghai International Telecommunications Bureau of the Ministry of Communications of the National Government.
At that time, the Communists were dressed plainly. Shen Anna is different, she wears a gorgeous cheongsam, holds a delicate bag, often goes in and out of cafes, movie theaters and other places, and lives a petty bourgeois life. It is completely different from the image of the underground female party member of the CCP in people's minds, which also makes everyone not doubt Shen Anna.
Therefore, Hua Mingzhi and Shen Anna often meet in movie theaters, cafes, tea houses and other places. The two also often dated by the West Lake and talked about the road of revolution. The two are originally lovers, so they often see each other and do not arouse suspicion.
In 1935, after the approval of the party organization, it was agreed that the two would marry. Hua Mingzhi and Shen Anna's wedding date is set for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people who come to the wedding do not say that the two are talented women and are born a pair.

Soon after getting married, Hua Mingzhi was sent to work at the Zhejiang-Gansu Railway Bureau, mainly considering that the two were married, had a family to take care of, and the two had a dependency together, not to fight alone.
Chiang Kai-shek was a very suspicious person with a strong sense of locality, and in order to cultivate his own cronies, he transferred Huang Shaohu, chairman of Zhejiang Province, to the Hubei Provincial Government as chairman, and Zhu Jiahua, secretary general, to the chairman of Zhejiang Province.
After Zhu Jiahua took office, he disbanded all the officials of the former Zhejiang provincial government and replaced them with his own cronies. Only Shen Anna survived, was not transferred, and continued to work as a shorthand writer.
In 1938, Shen Anna, introduced by other party members, met Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu and others. In August of the same year, the Battle of Songhu broke out, and the Japanese invasion of China had continued to the Zhejiang area of Shanghai. Hangzhou fell, the Zhejiang provincial government moved to Chongqing, and Shen Anna heard that important personnel of the provincial government organs had gone to Wuhan.
Shen Anna and her husband Hua Ming came to Wuhan. After coming to Wuhan, he first tried to get in touch with the party organization, and after a period of hard work, he finally got in touch with the party organization.
After meeting with Comrade Dong Biwu, Dong Biwu said to Shen Anna: "Comrade Anna, although the focus of the Kuomintang's work now is to repel Japan, their anti-communist determination will not change, and intelligence work is still very important. You have been under Zhu Jiahua before, and now he is the secretary general of the Kuomintang Central Party Department, and you are capable of continuing to help him do shorthand and collect intelligence for the party organization. ”
Shen Anna said firmly: "I resolutely obey the orders of the organization, please rest assured, I will do a good job." Subsequently, Comrade Zhou Enlai also came in, and Shen Anna shouted nervously: "Good leadership! ”
Zhou Enlai smiled and asked her to sit down and personally asked Shen Anna about her recent situation. Shen Anna replied: "The Zhejiang provincial government office has moved to Chongqing, and there is no useful information. Therefore, after consulting with Hua Mingzhi, we moved to Wuhan and wanted to contact the party organization as soon as possible. ”
Zhou Enlai nodded to Shen Anna and said, "Chiang Kai-shek was forced to unite with the Communist Party to resist Japan, and in order to prevent him from passively resisting Japan and actively opposing communism, we need you to supervise him for us." Comrade Anna, we need to hurry up and break into the enemy's interior! ”
After listening to Zhou Enlai's words, Shen Anna suddenly felt like a spring breeze. Shen Anna understood the direction of the future, which made her feel a heavy responsibility.

The next day, Shen Anna changed into a cheongsam, fell generously, and came to Zhu Jiahua's office. Zhu Jiahua saw that the person who came was Shen Anna and warmly received her, and Shen Anna said that she had worked hard and hoped to continue to serve the party-state.
Zhu Jiahua immediately said that the Central Party Department now needed a stenographer, and asked Shen Anna if she was a member of the Kuomintang party. At that time, the mandatory conditions for personnel in confidential units stipulated that they must be members of the Kuomintang.
This made Shen Anna a little embarrassed, now that she was a member of the Communist Party, how could she join the Kuomintang? This does not allow her to dwell on it, and if she does not take a stand immediately, she may miss the opportunity to break into the enemy.
Shen Anna replied wittily: "Because I was still relatively young before, I didn't join, I am joining now, can I?" After hearing this, Zhu Jiahua said to the staff: "Handle special party membership for her." This "special membership in the Party" refers to a quick way of joining the Party approved by three members of the Kuomintang Central Committee.
A few days later, shen anna's formalities for "joining the party in particular" had been completed, and Shen Anna also officially served as a confidential stenographer in the secretariat of the party department of the Kuomintang Central Committee. But Shen Anna was a little worried when she thought of joining the Kuomintang, but did not report to the party organization.
After contacting Dong Biwu, Shen Anna described the whole story of the incident. What Shen Anna did not expect was that Dong Biwu did not criticize her, but instead appreciated her ability to adapt to changes. After communication, Shen Anna understood its importance better.
In this way, Shen Anna was sitting next to Chiang Kai-shek as a stenographer, and in order to gain Zhu Jiahua's absolute trust, Shen Anna worked diligently every time she followed Zhu Jiahua to do shorthand, and never asked questions unrelated to work. Zhu Jiahua's trusted secretary was Yang Gongda, and in order to gain Yang Gongda's trust, Shen Anna was obedient to Yang Gongda.
Yang Gongda found that Shen Anna sorted out the materials quickly and well, so he gave Shen Anna the privilege of directly looking for materials in his office. Shen Anna also wrote down a lot of information favorable to our party under Yang Gongda's eyes. After returning in the evening, I will sort it out and find an opportunity to hand it over to the party organization.
Although Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi were already very cautious, the danger could not be avoided...
In 1942, Xu Zhonghang, a member of the Communist Party of China, who was then the director of the General Management Department of the Kuomintang Zhengzhong Book Bureau, came to connect with Shen Anna for intelligence. But Xu Zhonghang has not contacted Shen Anna, which can't help but make Shen Anna anxious.
After consulting with Hua Mingzhi, the two decided to use Shen Anna's status as a confidential stenographer to write a letter to the Zhengzhongshu Management Office. The letter read: "The child is sick this week, and the money owed will be repaid next month." "I didn't think Xu Zhonghang still had no contact.
A few days later, two agents came to find Shen Anna, which made her panic. Am I exposed? Xu Zhonghang was arrested? Shen Anna immediately calmed down and calmly analyzed: "If I am exposed, then they will directly come up and arrest me, instead of calling me to talk." ”
The two agents asked, "Did Miss Shen write this letter?" Shen Anna calmly replied: "I wrote it, is there a problem?" The two agents said, "Why did you borrow money from him?" He's a Communist, he's been arrested for a month, does he want to bribe you? ”
Shen Anna then asked the two agents, "Why do you say he is a communist?" The two agents immediately said: "He has a lot of reactionary Communist Books in his drawer, and he is the Communist Party." Shen Anna immediately felt confident in her heart, pretending to be angry: "I just said that my child is sick, so I asked a friend to borrow some money to see my child." This little money wants to buy me, who do you look down on? ”
Shen Anna saw that the two agents were looking at each other and were speechless, so she said in a loud voice: "If you still have any questions, go to Secretary General Zhu, I will go to sort out the minutes of the meeting." After I finish sorting it out, Chairman Jiang blamed it, and none of you could eat and walk around. After the agents heard Shen Anna's words, they were obviously frightened and quickly left.
That night, when she took advantage of the fire to cook at night, Shen Anna quickly burned the relevant information at home. Although the existing intelligence had been burned, Shen Anna's restless heart was still difficult to calm down.
After that, the head of the Kuomintang Zhengzhong Book Bureau also talked to Shen Anna, and Shen Anna admitted her mistake and said that she did not know much about Xu Zhonghang. After receiving educational criticism, the matter passed like this.
For a long time afterwards, Shen Anna lost contact with the party organization. Until Wu Kejian found Shen Anna's home under the instructions of Zhou Enlai, Shen Anna, who never shed tears easily, burst into tears at that moment.
In May 1946, the Kuomintang organs moved back to Nanjing from Chongqing, and Shen Anna also experienced all the important meetings, large and small. Chiang Kai-shek was particularly wary, and often asked everyone not to remember when meetings were involved in some measures related to confidential government affairs.
Shen Anna also understood that the more things that were not allowed to be remembered, the more important they were. At this time, Shen Anna will memorize in her heart, wait until the rest time, excuse herself to go to the toilet, and use a short time to write down the key content of the meeting.
It was precisely by virtue of Shen Anna's intelligence that our Party understood the movements of the Kuomintang at the first time and laid the foundation for our Party to successfully win the War of Liberation.
In April 1949, the People's Liberation Army successfully occupied Nanjing, the Kuomintang government continued to move south, and Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi also went to Shanghai under the arrangement of the party organization to meet the victory of the revolution. Since then, Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi have also had a stable job, and the family has lived a happy and satisfying life.

In June 2010, our strongest female agent, Shen Anna, passed away in Beijing at the age of 95. According to the recollection of the attending doctor, before dying, when Comrade Shen Anna was still unconscious, he shouted: "I am exposed, go to the back door..."
