In "Cliff", although Gu Qiuyan's husband Zhang Pingru did not appear from beginning to end, his role should not be underestimated, especially the key impact on Zhou Yi's final fate!

After Zhou Yi successfully rescued Sun Yuejian, the exposure was just around the corner, and the superiors arranged for Zhou Yi and Sun Yuejian's mother and son to evacuate through the Soviet Union together, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance responded at the border. Zhou Yi learned of Sha sha's disappearance from his brother Zhou, who came to receive him, and made the decision to return to Harbin to rescue Gu Qiuyan's mother and daughter.
Commissar Zhou said that Sasha's disappearance was told by someone from Harbin who went up the mountain to get information, so who was this person? Through plot analysis, the person who can tell the news of Sasha's disappearance to the Zhou commissar at least meets the following conditions. First, this person is responsible for intelligence liaison between underground organizations and the Anti-Allied Forces. Second, this person must have some kind of connection with Sasha; third, this person knows Zhou Yi's identity, knows that Zhou Yi and Sasha have a deep relationship, and understands that only Zhou Yi has the ability to rescue Gu Qiuyan's mother and daughter; third, this person knows the relationship between Zhou Yi and Zhou Yi, is familiar with and understands Zhou Yi, and is sure that Zhou Yi will pass on the news of Sha Sha's disappearance to Zhou Yi.
Peeling back the cocoon, the first to see the true face, throughout the whole play, only Zhang Pingru meets the above conditions.
At the beginning of the play, Gu Qiuyan's husband Zhang Pingru was mentioned in the conversation between Lao Wei and Gu Qiuyan. Lao Wei arranged for Gu Qiuyan to pretend to be Zhou Yi's working wife to go to the railway station to meet Zhou Yi who had returned from a mission in Guannei, Gu Qiuyan obviously had some concerns, and asked Lao Wei if her husband knew about this, and Lao Wei clearly said "He knows"
...... Then Gu Qiuyan proposed to meet with her husband, and Lao Wei was a little surprised, because they had already met some time ago, but in order to appease Gu Qiuyan's emotions, Lao Wei promised to arrange it for a while.
Next, Gu Qiuyan mentioned that she was pregnant, and asked Lao Wei to tell her husband. From this conversation, it can be seen that Zhang Pingru, like Gu Qiuyan, is an underground worker under the direct leadership of Lao Wei, but at this time, Zhang Pingru only knows that Gu Qiuyan is on a secret mission.
Gu Qiuyan took it upon herself to pass on information to the mountain and mentioned Zhang Pingru's work. Gu Qiuyan was reprimanded by Zhou Yi for not receiving a reply to the important telegram sent to the mountain for a long time, and repeatedly sent reports in violation of the law. Gu Qiuyan was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yi and worried about her husband's safety, so she went to consult with Lao Wei, but Lao Wei was not there, so Gu Qiuyan took matters into her own hands and found Zhang Pingru's brother Zhang Pingjun and asked him to help deliver letters to the mountain. From this plot, it can be seen that Zhang Pingru is mainly responsible for the intelligence liaison work between the Anti-League on the mountain and the outside world, and has close contact with the Political Commissar of the Anti-League!
Zhou Yi judged through the details of the toilet lid and ashtray that Gu Qiuyan and Zhang Pingru met at home.
Zhang Pingru, who went down the mountain to carry out the mission, came to visit Gu Qiuyan and the child, and the brainless Gu Qiuyan seriously violated the principles of organization and separated Liu Mama and Zhang Pingru from meeting at home, which was equivalent to completely revealing Zhou Yi's identity to Zhang Pingru. Then, the two took Sasha out to play, and Zhang Pingru could understand the feelings between Sasha and Zhou Yi from getting along with her daughter. It was through this meeting with Gu Qiuyan that Zhang Pingru gained a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Zhou Yi.
As an intelligence liaison officer, Zhang Pingru must have known that the Anti-Japanese Coalition would meet Zhou Yi's retreat at the border; Zhang Pingru also knew that Zhou Yi and Sha sha had a deep affection; Zhang Pingru knew zhou Yi's personality and understood that only Zhou Yi could rescue Sha Sha; Zhang Pingru knew that it was inconvenient for him to meet with Zhou Yi; Zhang Pingru also knew that Commissar Zhou was Zhou Yi's brother, so Zhang Pingru would pass on the news of Sha Sha's disappearance to Zhou Yi through the mouth of Commissar Zhou, with the purpose of saving Sha Sha by Zhou Yi's hand.
Zhang Pingru, who only hears his name and does not see his person, can be described as the most hidden character, as a dark line, it has played an indispensable role in promoting the development of the plot! Cliff fans, what do you think?
