He had received higher education, but he had lost his patriotism; he had worked in the country but had become a disgrace to the motherland; he obviously had a great future, but for his own selfish desires, he was willing to become a tool for foreign countries to steal Chinese secrets. During his tenure, he continued to provide Chinese intelligence to foreign spies, leaking up to 5,200 documents, which is an immeasurable loss to the country. He is Zhang Xiangbin, a Chinese scum. What happened to him after stealing secrets?
His family was poor and single-minded
Zhang Xiangbin was born in 1970 to a peasant family in Guangxi. At that time, the living environment in the countryside was generally poor, and Zhang Xiangbin's family was no exception. His family was poor, and he even borrowed money to go to school. However, his parents did not let Zhang Xiangbin drop out of school because of family difficulties, but instead encouraged him to study.
Perhaps because his parents provided him with a good learning environment and spiritual support, compared with other children of the same age, Zhang Xiangbin is less lively, but more stable. In the eyes of neighbors, the young Zhang Xiangbin is a bit wooden, does not play with children of the same age, but loves learning very much.
It is precisely because of Zhang Xiangbin's hard work that he was successfully admitted to a foreign Chinese college in Beijing in 1988. At this time, as a college student, he became the pride of his family. However, the family could not support Zhang Xiangbin's tuition, which became the biggest problem for the family. Fortunately, the local government has provided some subsidies for this future talent, hoping to help him tide over the difficulties. In school, Zhang Xiangbin also received a certain amount of subsidies for poor students, although the money is not very much, but it is enough to solve the family's headache of tuition fees.
With government support and school help, no one expected that this teenager who had been living under the welfare of the state not only did not grow into a talent, but instead deviated from the track and became a "traitor".
Before going to Beijing, he, like his parents, was immersed in the joy of being admitted to college. In the advice of his parents and the congratulations of the villagers, he also silently set a goal of getting ahead in his heart. After he left his hometown and came to Beijing, he was not confused by the prosperity of Beijing, but immersed himself in hard reading. Zhang Xiangbin understood that only learning was his only way out.
As a rural child, Zhang Xiangbin has no background of support, nor can he have any relationship, the only thing he can rely on is himself. He changed his shy personality and was featured in all the activities of the school. Gradually, Zhang Xiangbin also accumulated some popularity in the school and became a "fragrant feast" in the school.
At this time, Zhang Xiangbin longed to be noticed and valued. Soon, his opportunity came. In 1992, because Zhang Xiangbin performed very well in school, the tutor was also
I wanted to promote him and often took him to some translation work. In addition, the tutor heard about his family situation and paid more attention to good job opportunities and wanted to give him some help within his ability.
With the experience of these translation work, Zhang Xiangbin has also attracted the attention of many enterprises. Before the other students could leave school, he was already half a foot in the translation industry, which made him stand out from the competition for work. In the end, Zhang Xiangbin got his wish, and he entered a state ministry and worked as a translator.
Entering the national unit is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhang Xiangbin. However, he did not cherish it, but buried his own life with his own hands.
Go abroad to work, fall into a foreign trap
The work is bright and beautiful, which makes Zhang Xiangbin, who has just worked, a little complacent. He fantasized about the wider sky, hoping to be one step closer.
However, he did not understand that speed is not enough, he believes that his own conditions are superior, and his English level is also very high. He was becoming more and more reluctant to just be a little translator, he wanted to get promoted a little faster, a little faster. The existing work can't satisfy Zhang Xiangbin, and he doesn't want to be a small translator who can do everything. Anxious, he wanted to ascend to the heavens in one step, but there was no doorway.
As he watched the days pass, he still stood still. On the other hand, some colleagues are working higher and higher, and he is a little red-eyed. He began to feel that the state apparatus was not fair, and his originally humble attitude became anxious and impatient. Zhang Xiangbin blamed all this on other people's backgrounds and relationships, while he was poor. This led to the pleasure of licking honey on the tip of the knife when faced with the temptation of foreign spies. In his intelligence world, it was as if he were the master of everything.
Zhang Xiangbin switches back and forth between this self-affirmation and self-denial, he has long lost the spirit of hard work, full of only opportunistic thinking. His work became more and more calculating, and his mind became narrow, so he did not get the attention of the leaders. Exactly 4 years later, he is still standing still.
Later, Zhang Xiangbin felt that he had had enough of such a day, and at this time he was eager to find a breakthrough.
In 1996, Zhang Xiangbin requested the department to be transferred to overseas work. He felt that since he could not do anything big in China, he would go to another world to seek opportunities. From beginning to end, Zhang Xiangbin's approach is mixed with selfish desires. Therefore, in the face of foreign spies, he could not resist the temptation of desire.
In the new environment, Zhang Xiangbin did not have a sense of oppression in China, and he was more determined that he would break out of the world here. Life abroad is not constrained by domestic laws, and these external factors have attracted Zhang Xiangbin to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Zhang Xiangbin walked on the streets of foreign countries, looking at the bustling life and looking at the crowds coming and going, and he also had a hint of fantasy about money in his heart. Although he was a foreigner, he seemed to be a foreigner, but he knew that he was still the poor boy who was poor and white. At this moment, whether by coincidence or on purpose, diplomats from a certain country invited him to a meal. Everyone at the table complimented each other, talking about the world, and some people threw olive branches at him in a circle.
Zhang Xiangbin was not stupid, he only vaguely confused a few words at that time, but this sign took root in his heart. Soon after, several foreigners often asked Zhang Xiangbin to play together, and several people became friends. These foreigners are gradually invading Zhang Xiangbin's life, but he does not feel rejected by this.
For Zhang Xiangbin, he is already depressed, and he can meet these friends in a foreign country and talk about his chest.
His life has changed greatly because of these foreign friends, and he was originally honest, at the deliberate instigation of several friends, began to frequently enter and leave some places such as bars. Coming to the bar, several people inevitably drank some wine, talked about the world, and looked so unhappy. Under the action of alcohol, Zhang Xiangbin's mind is no longer sober. A few friends around him began to ask questions, including some state secrets that he had learned.
Several foreigners took a lot of useful information from Zhang Xiangbin's mouth, but at this time, Zhang Xiangbin still thought that he was just a simple friend, and even in many ways he would consult these "friends". As everyone knows, these foreigners are all intelligence officers, and there are bigger traps waiting for him behind them.
Resist the temptation to steal leaked intelligence
Not only harvested friendship, Zhang Xiangbin in foreign countries also harvested love. He talked to a foreign girlfriend locally, and the two of them quickly fell in love. Zhang Xiangbin, who has a double harvest of friendship and love, can be described as a spring breeze. What he didn't expect, however, was that the so-called girlfriend was also a foreign intelligence officer.
Seeing that the time was ripe, at the party a few months later, Zhang Xiangbin's foreign friends took the opportunity to raise the topic. They took out the recording of zhang xiangbin's confidential questions and told zhang that this was evidence that he had betrayed the country and become a spy. Such a reversal caught Zhang Xiangbin a little off guard, and he realized at this moment that these confidants in a foreign country were actually a group of spies.
A group of people threatened and seduced Zhang Xiangbin, and during this period of interaction, these people also learned about his living conditions. They constantly use money as bait to get Zhang Xiangbin to take the bait. At this time, Zhang Xiangbin was still thinking about the interests of the motherland in his heart and did not want to give in to it. At this time, Zhang Xiangbin's spy girlfriend added a fire to the matter, saying that if he did not agree with the two, they would break up.
Things gradually got out of control, Zhang Xiangbin could have stopped the loss in time, but in the face of his girlfriend's threat and financial temptation, he finally embarked on the road of betrayal. In the end, Zhang Xiangbin compromised, and the other party promised to give a satisfactory reward. He felt that even if he gave up, he would not have a good life when he returned home. It is better to continue to develop on this, at least it will get huge benefits. Such a deal was reached, and Zhang Xiangbin lost the dignity of a Chinese at this moment. He chose the path of betraying the country and seeking glory, and did not hesitate to sell out the interests of the country to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Zhang Xiangbin was often exposed to classified work for work reasons, and since 1996, he has been selling intelligence to foreign countries. Even in 2008, he offered his resignation to the unit and attempted to take some documents with him in the final period. Almost all of the confidential documents he provided were related to China's internal affairs, including 5,200 classified documents, 59 top-secret documents, 848 confidential documents, and 541 secret-level documents.
Such a huge amount was easily leaked to foreign personnel under the secret operation of Zhang Xiangbin. He was paid a certain amount in this secret transaction. Originally a poor child, he no longer needs to worry about money, or even has to work hard, he can continue to reap benefits. Zhang Xiangbin, who has accumulated a certain amount of wealth abroad, has not lost the fine quality of public officials at all. His private life also began to become chaotic, and even had as many as 3 girlfriends. He also fell in love with a diplomat abroad, and the two had children. No one expected that money would actually make this person who had worked hard become like this. He lost his morality and morality, and even his conscience as a Chinese.
In February 2016, the "traitor" who betrayed the country to satisfy his selfish desires was finally sanctioned. After the investigation of the relevant departments, Zhang Xiangbin's espionage crime was implemented. Zhang Xiangbin used his position to steal and resell secrets and was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension of execution.
epilogue
Zhang Xiangbin benefited from the state from an early age and grew up under the welfare of the country. For Zhang Xiangbin, access to state secrets is not a very difficult thing. He works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State, where he holds the position of Senior Translator, which gives him many opportunities to obtain confidential state documents. Originally, as a cadre, he had a bright and good life, but he failed to survive many tests and went to the road of betrayal under the lure of money. How pathetic and hateful.
