In 1955, Zhou Enlai received a special letter stating that a "secret agent" named Dong Jianwu had been found during the censorship. But according to his own account, he was a member of the Central Special Branch, participated in many important operations, and helped raise Chairman Mao's three children.
A "secret agent" who has raised the chairman's three children, or a member of the Central Special Branch, this person's identity is certainly not simple, who will he be? Why did you become a "spy"? Why haven't you been connected to the organization for so many years? What happened to the chairman's children?
With this series of question marks in mind, the Prime Minister carefully continued to examine the contents of the letter.
The letter said that after examination and verification, this person's name is Dong Jianwu, his own situation is basically true, according to these circumstances Dong Jianwu should be listed as a meritorious person, at present this person has been taken into custody and imprisoned, the specific how to deal with it, please instruct.
Seeing the name Dong Jianwu and the things mentioned in the letter, Zhou Enlai fell into the memory.
This Dong Jianwu did have his own person, and soon after the premier created the Central Special Branch, this person was transferred to the Special Branch by Chen Geng and also participated in the action of eradicating the secret agent Bai Xin, and what he said about helping to raise Chairman Mao's three children is also true.
Thinking of this, Premier Zhou immediately informed Luo Ruiqing, then minister of public security, that he would be responsible for handling the matter. After Receiving the order, Luo Ruiqing immediately ordered someone to thoroughly investigate Dong Jianwu's situation, and then personally rushed to Shanghai to visit Dong Jianwu.
Finally, Luo Ruiqing made a detailed report to the premier and the party Central Committee, explaining that Dong Jianwu is a senior member of our party and has made great contributions to the party's cause over the years. Lost contact with the party due to historical reasons, it was previously suspected that "secret agents" were mistakes in their work.
Soon after, the central government verified dong Jianwu's identity and contribution, and finally decided to release Dong Jianwu and properly resettle him by the Shanghai Municipality.
Chairman Mao later mentioned this man, grateful that he had raised his three children, but after the success of the revolution, he hid his name in anonymity, which was really admirable.
Since he made great contributions to the party and was valued by the chairman and the premier, why did he later lose contact with the party organization?
Dong Jianwu, formerly known as Dong Xuanqing, was born in 1891 in a wealthy family in Qingpu, Shanghai, and received a good education since childhood.
When Dong Xuanqing was born, it was the eve of the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the whole of China was shrouded in a cloud of backward darkness, but the light of the new birth was constantly being nurtured.
Qingpu is close to Shanghai and is deeply influenced by Western culture, Dong Xuanqing studied at the local Anglican primary school when he was a child, and he also received Christian education and influence.
Although Dong Xuanqing attended a church school, he had a patriotic heart to save the country since he was a child, so while studying hard, he also actively exercised. He believed that in addition to his rich knowledge, a strong body was also very important, so he renamed himself "Dong Jian Wu", which means strong Jian Wu's physique.
Later, Dong Jianwu entered St. John's University in Shanghai to study, and at this time, China was at the time when the revolutionary wave was surging, and Dong Jianwu was a patriotic young man with boiling blood, so he also got to know many revolutionary youths. Among them was a Communist Party member named Puhua.
Through exchanges with the Puhua people, Dong Jianwu had a general understanding of China's national conditions and revolutionary conditions at that time, and initially came into contact with some ideas and propositions of the Communist Party, which gave him an initial yearning for this newly emerging organization.
In 1925, after the May Thirtieth Massacre, young students at St. John's University organized protest marches like other universities, and the students were enthusiastic and unanimously denounced the counter-revolutionary forces, of which Dong Jianwu was an activist.
In view of the strong opposition of st. John's university management to students participating in revolutionary activities in the country, Dong Jianwu left the campus with a large number of patriotic classmates.
Dong Jianwu took a job as a priest at St. Peter's Church in Shanghai and later returned to his hometown in Qingpu, where he joined the Kuomintang. At that time, it was still during the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the Kuomintang was the largest political party in the Chinese revolution at that time, so many patriotic young people joined one after another.
But what Dong Jianwu did not expect was that shortly after he joined the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12 Counter-Revolutionary Coup", which surprised Dong Jianwu.
At that time, Shanghai was suddenly plunged into a white terror, and Dong Jianwu had the status of a member of the Kuomintang and would not be implicated. However, seeing that groups of revolutionary volunteers were brutally persecuted, his heart was extremely distressed and wandering.
It was at this time that he met his classmate Puhuaren, and at the invitation of Puhuaren, they went to work together in Feng Yuxiang's army. Feng Yuxiang is also a Christian, so he also arranged for a pastor to carry out missionary work in the army, and Dong Jianwu was the right person.
During the period when Feng Yuxiang was working in the army, Dong Jianwu really came into contact with the ideas of the Communist Party and came into contact with the idea of joining the party. In the end, with the help of the Puhua people, with the important leader of our party and the famous general of the Red Army, Liu Bojian, as the introducer, Dong Jianwu joined the Communist Party of China and became a glorious Communist Party member.
Shortly after Dong Jianwu joined the party, Chiang Kai-shek, who had completely broken with the CCP, demanded that Feng Yuxiang immediately arrest all the communists in the ranks of the Northwest Army and escort them to Nanjing for execution.
At this time, Feng Yuxiang was quite different from the old Jiang in terms of strength, and under pressure, he had to ask the CCP members to leave the Northwest Army, and he also gave Dong Jianwu a sum of money to apologize.
After returning to Shanghai, Dong Jianwu continued to work as a pastor in St. Peter's Church and soon established contacts with party organizations in the Shanghai area. In view of the fact that Dong Jianwu was a member of the Kuomintang and was also engaged in the work of a priest with a foreign background, Chen Geng, who was the leader of the Central Special Branch at the time, thought that he was very suitable for intelligence work, so he was transferred to the Intelligence Section.
Chen Geng arranged for Dong Jianwu to cover the organization of public operations, provide a hidden place, and collect intelligence part-time.
Since then, St. Peter's Church has become an important contact point and secret base for our Party in the Shanghai area at that time. Dong Jianwu attached great importance to this work, and also made a special transformation of the structure inside and outside the church to make it the best secret base.
It is recorded that many important secret meetings of our Party were held in the secret room of St. Peter's Church, and a large number of important leaders such as Zhou Enlai, Pan Hannian, and Chen Geng were here.
Dong Kengo not only provides cover for the underground organization, but also participates in the operations of Teco. In 1929, Bai Xin, secretary of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, defected, causing huge losses to our party.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China immediately decided that the Special Branch Red Team would carry out a hoeing and rape operation against Bai Xin and clean up the portal.
Chen Geng found Dong Jianwu and asked him to participate in the operation and assist the red team. Dong Jianwu's task was to conduct a stepping point survey around Bai Xin's residence to figure out the enemy's security deployment. In addition, after the end of the hoeing, Dong Jianwu also had to verify whether the target had been killed.
At that time, Bai Xin already had a premonition that the red team would not let him go, so he applied to the Kuomintang authorities to take refuge abroad, and the Kuomintang agreed to his application and prepared to send him abroad soon after.
After Tekko got the news, he decided to act immediately to eliminate Bai Xin. Dong Jianwu immediately put on makeup and went to Bai Xin's hiding place, explored the surrounding situation in detail, and informed Chen Geng in detail of the terrain characteristics and the deployment of the enemy.
On November 11, 1929, it was the day bai xin planned to escape, and in the afternoon, bai xin and several people had just walked out of the alley to get on the car.
This was a few people who suddenly sprang out from all around without saying a word, aimed at them and shot at them, and Bai Xin and the others were beaten into a sieve before they could avoid it. Several members of the red team immediately followed the route arranged in advance and disappeared into the alley in an instant.
At that time, Dong Jianwu was on the other side of the alley, and after seeing the red team win, he also calmly left. The next day, he inquired through his connections that Bai Xin was dead, and the other person who was with him was seriously injured and luckily survived. The task of eradicating traitors was successfully completed, and Dong Jianwu was a meritorious servant of this operation.
Later, Chen Geng gave Dong Jianwu an important task to establish a kindergarten. At that time, the children of important leaders of our Party were arranged in the homes of comrades of the revolutionary masses or underground organizations, and the situation was complicated and dangerous. Therefore, the central government decided that Teco would set up a kindergarten, open for business, and secretly take care of these revolutionary children.
Chen Geng entrusted this task to Dong Jianwu, and it was most appropriate for the priest of the church to do it.
Dong Jianwu knew the importance of this task, so he threw himself into the preparation of the kindergarten, in order to solve the problem of funding, he traveled in many ways to raise funds in the society, and finally the insufficient part he even sold the inheritance left to him by his grandmother, and the land in the family was used to supplement the funds.
After the kindergarten was completed, many children of revolutionaries were sent here and took meticulous care of Dong Jianwu. This included Mao Zedong's three sons, Mao Anying, Mao Anying, Mao Anqing and Mao Anyring.
Under the care of Dong Jianwu, these revolutionary children lived happily here, but the weather was unpredictable, and an accident occurred in 1931.
In March of that year, the Central Special Branch was ordered to escort Zhang Guotao and Chen Changhao to the Eyu-Anhui Su District. The escort task was led by Gu Shunzhang, the actual person in charge of the Central Special Branch, and Dong Jianwu was ordered to accompany him.
On the way back through Wuhan, Gu Shunzhang was arrested and immediately defected, and Dong Jianwu realized that the situation was not right, so he managed to leave Wuhan on his own and returned to Shanghai after several turns.
But just when he was in a hurry to return to the kindergarten, he heard another bad news, Mao Long, the son of Mao Zedong, suddenly fell seriously ill and died during the time he left.
This is undoubtedly a thunderbolt for Dong Jianwu, who did his best for every child when he was there, lest they get sick with a cold, but he did not expect that as soon as he left, the little Mao Anlong would die.
Dong Jianwu fell into a deep self-blame, but he did not have time to grieve, because Gu Shunzhang knew him and the kindergarten situation very well. A few moments later, he received an urgent notice from Teko that Gu Shunzhang had been escorted to Nanjing, and the kindergarten was immediately dissolved, and the revolutionary children were scattered to the receiving families arranged by the organization, and they were scattered into scattered and lurking on the spot.
The two brothers, Mao Anying and Mao Anying, were raised by Dong Jianwu, and then the Mao brothers lived with Dong Jianwu's family. Dong Jianwu's situation at that time was very difficult, because of Gu Shunzhang's betrayal, his social relations could only be completely cut off, which was equivalent to losing his source of income.
But Dong Jianwu still gritted his teeth and insisted on never betraying the party's trust in him, and no matter what, he must protect the two brothers and let them grow up healthily.
The two brothers, Mao Anying and Mao Anqing, have been living in Dong Jianwu's home for four years, and these four years of life are hard and dangerous, but the two brothers feel the warmth of home, and as long as they are with Dong Jianwu's family, they rush to special safety.
Years later, the Mao brothers often talked about the years they lived in the Dong family, and they missed the Dong Jianwu family very much.
In early 1936, Dong Jianwu was ordered to escort the American journalist Snow to Yan'an, and while staying in Xi'an, he made contact with Zhang Xueliang and established a deep friendship. Zhang Xueliang approved of the Communist Party from the bottom of his heart and expressed his hope to provide some help to the Ccp.
When Dong Jianwu said goodbye to Zhang Xueliang, he asked the young marshal if he could send two revolutionary children to study in the Soviet Union. Zhang Xueliang happily agreed, which was a trivial matter for him, but he did not know that these two revolutionary sons were mao zedong's sons.
A few months later, Zhang Xueliang sent someone to send the Mao brothers to Europe and transit into the Soviet Union, and the Chinese Communists had already contacted the Soviet side and smoothly arranged for the two of them to study in Moscow.
But what Dong Jianwu did not expect was that this parting, and Kishi Ying was eternally separated from the heavens!
After sending the Mao brothers away, the situation in Shanghai was even worse, and Pan Hannian, the new leader of the Central Special Branch, instructed Dong Jianwu to break it down to pieces and make only one-line contact with him, and most of the other comrades in the organization also withdrew from Shanghai and were replaced by new comrades.
Later, due to the change in the situation, Pan Hannian had to leave Shanghai for Hong Kong, and Dong Jianwu lost contact with the party organization from then on, but he always insisted on revolution and did not slacken off!
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Dong Kengo contacted the nationalist generals, and together they planned to injure the Japanese flagship "Izumo". Later, lurking under zhou Fohai, he also rescued a group of soldiers of the New Fourth Army.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because he was not accustomed to the corrupt style of the Nationalist army, he resigned due to illness and went home to live in seclusion. During this time, he tried to contact the party organization, but did not succeed until the liberation of Shanghai.
After the liberation of Shanghai, Pan Hannian became the vice mayor of Shanghai, and Dong Jianwu wrote a letter hoping that he would prove his working relationship and arrange to return to work. But for some reason, Pan Hannian never responded, so his working relationship has not been confirmed.
In 1955, during the "Pan Yang case," investigators found Dong Jianwu's name in a list of "lurking pseudo-enemy agents" kept by Pan Hannian.
According to Pan Hannian, these "pseudo-enemy agents" are elite agents who have deliberately hidden their identities in order to engage in intelligence warfare with the Taiwan side.
However, Dong Jianwu did not seem to know Pan Hannian's arrangement, and during the investigation, he took the initiative to confess his party membership and work experience, which attracted the attention of the investigators, and then wrote to Premier Zhou for instructions.
With the proof of the chairman and the premier, Dong Jianwu's identity was confirmed, and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee also arranged work for him. Later, when Chen Geng went to Shanghai, he also went to visit Dong Jianwu, an old comrade-in-arms of the special branch.
Chen Geng also told him that he had come to visit him on a special basis at the behest of Chairman Mao, and informed him that the Central Committee had decided to determine Dong Jianwu's identity and that all previous problems had been written off. But soon after, Chen Geng died of illness, and Dong Jianwu was very sad.
In December 1970, Comrade Dong Jianwu died at the age of 79. In 1976, the Central Committee announced the decision to rehabilitate Comrade Dong Jianwu, and a generation of revolutionary ancestors was finally able to smile at jiuquan!
Today, comrade Dong Jianwu's cemetery is in Shanghai Longhua Martyrs Cemetery, and often future generations come to mourn and pay respects!
I am the Phantom of Shi Hai, and I am following me to praise history.
