In 1948, the Tianjin Station of the Secret Bureau produced a brilliant stationmaster Wu Jingzhong. This webmaster is not only a hidden "treasure collector", but also a lucky one who will not die. Even when he was ordered to punish him severely, he still fled with the priceless treasure Golden Buddha.
In that turbulent era, Wu Jingzhong took control of the important position of Tianjin Station of the Military Secrets Bureau. His name is Wu Jingzhong in the archives, but we still call him Wu Jingzhong as we know him today. This stationmaster Wu is loyal to the country on the surface, but in fact there are other plans behind it. His real goal was the gold bars, dollar bills, and antique calligraphy and paintings that would make people invincible.
In history, there are really people and things. Mao Renfeng once ordered Wu Jingzhong to be severely punished, and the captain of the action team, Li Ya (Li Juncai), was also determined to catch him. But when Li Ya led the team to the airport, they only saw the tail of a plane, Wu Jingzhong had already soared into the sky with his treasures, looking at the ground from the porthole, how proud the smile was.
Although Li Ya later took over Wu Jingzhong's position, his fate was very different. He repeatedly requested to evacuate Tianjin, but Mao Renfeng refused for various reasons. In the end, the city of Tianjin was broken, and Li Ya and his team could only choose to lurk, and finally became prisoners.
Compared with Li Ya's desolation, Wu Jingzhong's fate was extremely lucky. He always seems to be able to escape at a critical moment. What was the secret of his escape? It turned out that in Wu Jingzhong's plan, the power of money was always indispensable. He knew that in that era, only hard currency was the real life charm.
Wu Jingzhong's strategy was very wise. Not only did he collect gold bars and dollar bills on his own, but he also knew how to use these resources to "buy his life" for himself. How did he escape when he was captured by Mao Renfeng? The story mentions that he once used a large number of gold bars and US dollars, and even the priceless jade golden Buddha, to win freedom for himself. These treasures not only saved his life, but even helped him open the way to Hong Kong.
And Li Ya was in the War Criminals Management Center and wrote "The Shady Scene of the Secret Service Bureau's Special Service Organization in Tianjin". This book exposes the inside story of many secret bureaus, and also gives us a glimpse of the true face of Wu Jingzhong, Li Ya and others.
Wu Jingzhong is far from over. His life is like a big drama, full of twists and turns. This former stationmaster actually had a plan in his heart. He knows that only by mastering enough "chips" can he be invincible in troubled times. His deputy stationmaster, Lu Shilun, is also a smart person. When Wu Jingzhong fled Tianjin with the Golden Buddha, Lu Shilun also chose to follow. The two of them bumped all the way and finally reached a safe place. And Lu Shilun's later fate is also interesting, he did not suffer misfortune like others, but became a teacher on an island.
In this way, it really seems to be made up, but this is a true portrayal of that era. In those uncertain and dangerous times, everyone was fighting for their own survival. Wu Jingzhong and Li Ya, their choices and fates are so different, but they are so similar, they are both struggling to survive.
Let's go back to Wu Jingzhong's escape. It is said that on the day he fled, the Tianjin airport was in chaos. Although Li Ya and his team arrived in time, they could only watch Wu Jingzhong's plane take off. At that moment, Li Ya's heart was full of powerlessness and disappointment, while Wu Jingzhong's heart was an infinite vision for the future.
It is often said that history is written by the victors. But in the story, what we see is the joys and sorrows of various characters, their choices and fates. Although Wu Jingzhong temporarily escaped the arrangement of fate, did he really have no regrets in his heart? Although Li Ya was once in a desperate situation, he was finally pardoned and started a new life.
These historical figures make us think: In that era of change, what kind of considerations and struggles were behind everyone's choices? They are not only a part of history, but also a profound exploration of human nature.
Wu Jingzhong and Li Ya are a microcosm of that turbulent era. Their destinies are so different, yet intimately linked, reflecting the existential dilemmas and moral choices of the people of that era. Wu Jingzhong's wit and decisiveness allowed him to find life in the crisis, while Li Ya's persistence and misfortune showed the cruelty of history. These stories are not only memories of history, but also a kind of enlightenment for us today: in front of every choice in life, can we adhere to our moral convictions and bravely face the unknown and challenges of the future? This may be a question that every era asks.
