"Although the dress is worn on my body, my heart is still the Chinese heart, and my ancestors have long branded everything I have on the Chinese seal" I still remember these two lines in the song "My Chinese Heart".
This song expresses that although I have not been close to my motherland for many years, although I also wear a dress, but no matter what,
Nor can it change my chinese heart that I am still Chinese, because my ancestors have long branded everything I have with the Chinese seal.
When this song was on fire, I was not even born, but when I brushed the video when I became an adult, I heard this song,
I can still feel the songwriter's full love for the motherland, and when I go to understand the background behind the song, I feel involuntarily admired for the author's patriotic heart.
And in this world, some people will bow down for the sake of the country, die and die, regardless of personal gains and losses,
There are too many such people who do not hesitate to give up favorable foreign conditions and serve the motherland and put the country first, such as Qian Xuesen, a "missile expert" on the mainland, who is one of them. After he succeeded in his studies, he gave up the favorable conditions of foreign countries.
Insisting on returning to China to serve the motherland, even at the risk of his life, he deserves our study and respect.
But on the contrary, some people are patriotic, and some people are not patriotic, and even betray the motherland for the sake of profit, become spies, and the next person to say is such a person, her name is "Cheng Lei".
And what is surprising is that she was actually a host in CCTV.
After lurking in CCTV for nearly 20 years, he finally exposed his identity as a spy because of a slip of the tongue, so what is going on?
Cheng Lei's experience
Cheng Lei, born in 1975 in Yueyang, Hunan, her family is not rich, her parents are farmers, in order to survive every day to work hard,
And that era was in the stage of "immigration fever", and Cheng Lei's parents, who wanted to see the daughter ChengFeng, also had the idea of immigration in the year when she was 10 years old.
Later, they immigrated to Australia, broke away from Chinese nationality, but after they went to the local area, their lives were not very good.
Because her parents were farmers and did not have any skills, even after emigrating, her parents could only do some physical work and live a relatively poor life.
Cheng Lei knew that to change the current situation, she had to study hard and change her destiny through reading, so she had been studying very hard, and later she was finally admitted to the University of Queensland.
She originally wanted to choose journalism, but her family opposed it, and her parents believed that when accounting had broader prospects, she could get a good job wherever she went.
So later Cheng Lei gave up her dream of becoming a journalist, chose to major in finance and successfully obtained a business degree.
After graduation, Cheng Lei, who once worked in two Fortune 500 companies, has been engaged in financial work, but the dream of being a journalist has always been in her heart, and she did not expect to turn around 6 years later.
At the end of 2000, Cheng Lei returned to China after being hired by Australia's Thor Logistics Company, and later in 2002,
CCTV set up an international channel to openly recruit bilingual financial hosts, and Cheng Lei, who has always had a journalist's dream in her heart, also went to try it.
Although she is not a professional host, because she has a wealth of experience in the field of finance and economics, coupled with the fact that she is fluent in spoken English, she successfully passed the selection of the host and became a host.
After taking up her post, Cheng Lei, in only 2 years of returning to China, was in the state-level heavyweight media of CCTV.
Worried about hosting financial programs, I have to say that her hosting career is quite smooth, and in 2003, Cheng Lei joined CNBC First Finance through her own ability.
She was very popular in the hosting industry, and she also won many awards, and soon Cheng Lei became famous.
This achievement also allowed her to be selected as the "Global Education Brand Ambassador" by the Australian government in 2014, her resume is constantly updated, her title is constantly increasing, and she has interviewed many celebrities, so Cheng Lei is absolutely successful in her career.
A slip of the tongue revealed her identity as a spy
If she had not chosen to be a spy, and there would be no later events, then she could have been a successful person in the eyes of others.
But there are not so many ifs in this world, and she has made such a choice.
In 2020, when Cheng Lei was hosting a show, she said a sentence, she said, "The United States and Australia have mastered the economic development dynamics of the mainland." ”
It is precisely this sentence that makes people feel that something is wrong, and how does she know that foreign countries have mastered the economic development dynamics of the mainland?
It was impossible for her to know such a thing, and according to her expression, it seemed unlikely that she was lying.
Therefore, this sentence she said quickly attracted the attention of the relevant departments, but this was just speculation, there was no real evidence, and it could not prove anything, so the relevant departments later went to investigate and collect evidence.
After half a year of investigation and evidence collection, it was found that she was indeed a spy! Has been secretly grasping the relevant information of the mainland,
Conveyed to foreign countries, and because of her status as a moderator, it is very easy to get some information on the economic development of the mainland.
So it's scary to think about it, how long has she been a spy? How many state secrets have been sold? She has been lurking for almost 20 years, thinking about it!
On February 5, 2021, Cheng Lei was formally arrested on suspicion of illegally providing state secrets to overseas, and when she was arrested, she still had no remorse, perhaps in her mind, the interests will always prevail over everything.
The Australian government has also negotiated with our side many times, hoping to release Cheng Lei, but this is impossible. Since you have done something wrong, you must bear such consequences.
Even at the expense of selling miserably many times, saying that Cheng Lei is a single mother, she also needs to raise two children, and she cannot leave her mother.
Didn't Cheng Lei think about the consequences when she chose to do such a thing? If you really think about the consequences, you won't do it anymore and choose to become a spy.
So the moment she made her own choice, the ending was already predestined.
In the face of the Australian government's interference, a Spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said: "The Chinese judicial organs handle the case in accordance with the law and fully protect the legal rights of the relevant personnel." The Australian side should earnestly respect China's judicial sovereignty and must not interfere in any form with The Chinese judicial organs in handling cases in accordance with the law. ”
On March 31, 2022, the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court heard the case in closed court and announced the verdict at a later date.
Cheng Lei will also be severely punished by the law at that time, and I have to say that the result is very gratifying!
Cheng Lei has a successful career, is a successful person in the eyes of the outside world, if she can continue to do a good job in her own hosting career,
If she does not choose to be a spy, then she will have a better life in the future, but unfortunately, she chose to become a spy, and she is also to blame for such consequences.
She was originally a Chinese, but later she broke away from her nationality and became a foreigner, but this is not an excuse for forgetting her roots and roots, nor can it be an excuse.
She received a Western education from about the age of 10, and perhaps at that time, she began to forget the country and had no feelings for the country.
But all along, she was bleeding Chinese blood, which could not be changed, so she should not be a spy and betray the motherland.
