In 1938, a young man named Shen Zhiyue came to work next to Chairman Mao, Shen Zhiyue's resume can be said to be very excellent, he graduated from Fudan University, when he was a famous talent, he later came to Yan'an and served as an editor for a period of time.
Soon, because of his outstanding work, he was transferred to Chairman Mao's side as a secretary, and he also organized the workers' and student movements in Shanghai many times, which can be said to be a person with very outstanding abilities.
Progressive youth
At first, Chairman Mao was also very satisfied with this new little secretary and had the heart to cultivate him, but to everyone's surprise, only two weeks after Shen Zhiyue came to Chairman Mao's side, Chairman Mao suddenly decided to transfer Shen Zhiyue away from his side and let him work in the Zhejiang area.
This statement does not sound problematic, but it is actually Chairman Mao's rhetoric to paralyze the enemy and reduce his vigilance. The real reason is that Chairman Mao unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly perfect young man with a perfect resume was most likely an undercover agent sent by the military command
However, at that time, Chairman Mao did not have exact evidence in his hands about Shen Zhiyue's identity, but only speculation, so Chairman Mao did not immediately deal with Shen Zhiyue, but only transferred him to other places. But a few years later, Shen Zhiyue himself revealed his secret identity.
After the Anhui Incident, our Party began to investigate the traitors in the Party, at this time, Shen Zhiyue was worried that the collusion between himself and the Kuomintang would be exposed, so he fled back to Chongqing first, and was appointed by Lao Jiang as the director of the intelligence station. So, how did Shen Zhiyue disguise himself as a progressive student step by step, and successfully enter Yan'an, and even gain Chairman Mao's appreciation?
This matter has to start from the youth of Shen Zhiyue, Who was a scholarly figure who studied at Fudan University in Shanghai in the early years, so he had contact with many members of our party, and it was natural that he was influenced by Marxism-Leninism and became a progressive student. But soon, due to the exposure of his identity, Shen Zhiyue was arrested and imprisoned by the secret agents of the military command, and in the face of the upcoming severe torture, Shen Zhiyue had fear in his heart.
Defection in prison
However, it has to be said that Shen Zhiyue is a very clever person, and in order to avoid punishment, he lied to the agent, saying that he knew high-ranking officials within the National Government and could dredge up, so as to threaten the agent and not to torture him, otherwise he would inevitably incur retaliation in the future. Although there was no actual basis for this call as a support, because Shen Zhiyue's words were conclusive, it was forbidden for the agents not to believe it.
It wasn't until more than a month later that the secret agents painstakingly found out that everything Shen Zhiyue said was simply made up by him. However, Shen Zhiyue accidentally attracted the attention of Dai Kasa, the head of the military command's secret service, because of this set of lies, and Dai Kasa felt that although Shen Zhiyue was full of nonsense, he could come up with such a way to get out at such a critical moment, which showed that this person had some brains and was a talent that could be used.
Therefore, Dai Kasa personally found Shen Zhiyue and asked him if he would like to join the military command. The appearance of Dai Kasa was tantamount to a life-saving straw for Shen Zhiyue at that time, so Shen Zhiyue immediately nodded in agreement. Soon, under the operation of Dai Kasa, Shen Zhiyue was safely released from prison, because he had always been the image of a hot-blooded youth before, so after he was released from prison, he still maintained contact with our party, and under Dai Kasa's arrangement, he carried out the plan to approach Yan'an step by step.
Dai Kasa asked Shen Zhiyue to go to Yan'an with the aim of assassinating Chairman Mao and other leaders in order to achieve the goal of disturbing the hearts and minds of the army. Of course, in order to make Shen Zhiyue loyal to the military command, Dai Kasa naturally also gave Shen Zhiyue a lot of rewards, and Shen Zhiyue, who had tasted the sweetness, completely fell to the side of military unification, and used the contact between himself and our party to help the military commander booby-trap and kill several party members, thus gaining more and more weight in the military command, and even some people secretly called him the "spy king" of the military command. From this moment on, Shen Zhiyue had no way back.
Identity exposure
In 1938, Shen Zhiyue finally smoothly followed a delegation of progressive students to Yan'an, when there was an endless stream of progressive students who went to Yan'an to join the revolution, so Shen Zhiyue's arrival was not a very unexpected thing for the people of Yan'an, and the Security Section did not find any problems when examining Shen Zhiyue's background, so Shen Zhiyue successfully stayed in Yan'an.
Soon, because Chairman Mao needed a secretary to assist him, Shen Zhiyue successfully approached Chairman Mao, and at this time, Shen Zhiyue was only one step away from the plan to assassinate Chairman Mao. So, how did Chairman Mao discover the flaws in Shen Zhiyue's body in time? The answer is because of a cigarette.
One night, shortly after Shen Zhiyue was transferred to Chairman Mao's side, Chairman Mao was alone in his office, and Shen Zhiyue, as secretary, helped in Chairman Mao's office. In the middle of the night, Chairman Mao felt tired, so he habitually looked for a cigarette in his pocket, at this time, Shen Zhiyue, who was very good at looking, took the initiative to hand Chairman Mao a cigarette, and at the same time he himself picked up a cigarette and smoked it.
In the past, Chairman Mao and Shen Zhiyue did not have much contact, but from Shen Zhiyue's smoking actions, Chairman Mao could see at a glance that this young man should not have been used to smoking in the past, and it is very likely that he had just learned to smoke. However, after coming to Chairman Mao's side, a person who did not have the habit of smoking in the past suddenly fell in love with smoking, and even carried Chairman Mao's favorite cigarette brand.
From this incident, Chairman Mao believed that Shen Zhiyue had to guard against it, so the next day Chairman Mao decided to transfer Shen Zhiyue away from his side. Facts have proved that Chairman Mao's judgment of Shen Zhiyue was very correct, and it was precisely because Chairman Mao made a decision at the moment that Dai Kasa and Shen Zhiyue's assassination plan was forced to terminate, which invisibly swept away a huge hidden danger.
After the Liberation War, Shen Zhiyue fled to Taiwan and gradually became an important task in the Taiwan Bureau of Investigation, and even visited the mainland in the 1980s and was received by many leaders. In a sense, he is not without talent, but unfortunately he chose the wrong path, and the later ending, I don't know if he is satisfied, from the perspective of outsiders, I only think that he wastes his talent and sighs in vain.
