Everyone knows that Chairman Mao is a person who likes to smoke a lot, so in Chairman Mao's work and living place, cigarettes are an indispensable living object, Chairman Mao's guards and secretaries, but also deeply understand Chairman Mao's living habits, and help Chairman Mao to do everything in life. Chairman Mao is a very approachable leader, he cares about the peasants and considerate of his subordinates, so he can be loved by many people, but in 1938, a secretary was transferred from his job by Chairman Mao because he helped Chairman Mao light a cigarette, which not only made the secretary incredible, but also made many colleagues of the secretary at that time puzzled. The secretary's name is Shen Zhiyue. What did this Shen Zhiyue do wrong to annoy Chairman Mao? It turned out that Shen Zhiyue did nothing wrong, and the reason why Chairman Mao transferred him away was because he discovered his identity as a Kuomintang spy, but he couldn't produce weighty evidence, so he could only transfer Shen Zhiyue away from his side.
Speaking of which, are you more curious? You must know that the people who can work beside Chairman Mao have been screened layer by layer, not only have high regulations on academic qualifications, but also have strict investigations on family background, life and education experience, if Shen Zhiyue is really a spy, why didn't the central government at that time notice it at all? What kind of ability does the Kuomintang have to forge such a good identity for Shen Zhiyue? How did Chairman Mao discover that something was wrong with Shen Zhiyue through a small cigarette lighting? Today, let's review Shen Zhiyue's life together, here, there are the answers we want to know.
Shen Zhiyue was born in 1913, his family is not bad, life is relatively wealthy, he has received a better education since he was a child, at the age of 17, Shen Zhiyue was admitted to Nanjing School, and then went to Fudan University for further study. Shen Zhiyue is very smart and very studious, when he was young in the metropolis of Shanghai, he learned a lot of advanced ideas, and Shen Zhiyue also had a patriotic enthusiasm in his youth. After the outbreak of the 918 incident, Shen Zhiyue was also very enthusiastic, joined the ranks of the anti-Japanese parade, Shen Zhiyue was a very stubborn person, he participated in student activities, participated in the workers' movement, and these movements were also suppressed by the Kuomintang at that time, many students were also arrested and imprisoned, Shen Zhiyue was almost a thorn in the side of the Kuomintang at that time, a thorn in the flesh. At that time, it seemed that Shen Zhiyue was not a member of the Kuomintang all the way, what was it that made Shen Zhiyue take refuge in the Kuomintang and become a spy?
Shen Zhiyue participated in too many demonstrations, as the saying goes, you can not walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and finally one day, Shen Zhiyue was unfortunately arrested by the Kuomintang and put in prison, for ordinary workers and students, they were either indignant and scolded in prison, or trembled, fearing that their lives would be threatened. However, Shen Zhiyue was completely different from these two situations, he was very calm and calm in the face of prison, and he even took the initiative to talk to the Kuomintang staff, and used language to guide these Kuomintang, so that they mistakenly thought that they had a close relationship with the Kuomintang high-level. Under the guidance of Shen Zhiyue, everyone thought that Shen Zhiyue was a person with an identity background, and no one dared to do anything to him, when other workers and students were tortured, Shen Zhiyue not only lost a single hair, but the Kuomintang also provided Shen Zhiyue with good food and drink. It's just that Shen Zhiyue's lie was exposed not long after, and the Kuomintang conducted a very detailed investigation of Shen Zhiyue's social relations, and found that Shen Zhiyue's family was just a family with better living conditions, and there was no background at all. It was at this time that the appearance of a person saved Shen Zhiyue, and this person was Dai Li.
Dai Li is a senior spy of the Kuomintang military command, and after he heard about Shen Zhiyue's incident, he felt that Shen Zhiyue's strong psychological quality was simply a natural spy, so he hurried over and saved Shen Zhiyue, and Shen Zhiyue was also spared the pain of flesh and skin. Shen Zhiyue was naturally very grateful for Dai Li's rescue, so under Dai Li's ideological work, Shen Zhiyue joined the military command after consideration and became a spy. Dai Li was very optimistic about this subordinate general, in order to make Shen Zhiyue a usable talent in the national army, Dai Li sent Shen Zhiyue to the Zhejiang Police Academy for further study, and then taught his work experience and skills to Shen Zhiyue without reservation. Shen Zhiyue himself is a very talented young man, he not only reads extensively, but also masters two foreign languages, English and Russian, in addition to this, he is also a sharpshooter, it can be said that he can write and martial arts. Because of his own talent, coupled with the hard work of the day after tomorrow, Shen Zhiyue quickly grew into an excellent spy, he did not disappoint Dai Li's newcomer at all, in a short period of time, Shen Zhiyue led the spies, sabotaged the peripheral organizations of the Communist Party, and became a powerful force threatening the Communist Party of China. So, why did Dai Li send Shen Zhiyue to Chairman Mao's side? What kind of purpose did he do this, and what kind of conspiracy did he have?
In order to make Chiang Kai-shek give up the civil war and unify to resist Japan, the Xi'an Incident broke out, and under the pressure of all parties, Chiang Kai-shek finally unified and cooperated with the Communist Party to fight against the Japanese invaders. However, Chiang Kai-shek was not reconciled to this result, and Chairman Mao and the Communist Party were always a thorn in Chiang Kai-shek's heart. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek began to make small moves in secret, hoping to obstruct the Communist Party through the military unification agents, and even assassinate Chairman Mao at a favorable time. This task also fell on Dai Li's head, and Dai Li thought of Shen Zhiyue for the first time, this task was simply tailor-made for Shen Zhiyue, why do you say that?
From the perspective of origin, Shen Zhiyue was born in an ordinary family, his family affairs are innocent, in terms of education, Shen Zhiyue has the experience of studying at Fudan University, his academic qualifications are clear, and most importantly, in terms of life experience, Shen Zhiyue is a person who has participated in many demonstrations and movements, and has been arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang. So, under Dai Li's arrangement, Shen Zhiyue accepted this task, and he came to Yan'an.
After coming to Yan'an, Shen Zhiyue changed his name to Shen Hui, and mixed into a professor group, he claimed to be an assistant of Chairman Mao's old friend, so Chairman Mao did not have any suspicions at the time, after a period of getting along, Shen Zhiyue did not leave Yan'an with the professor group, but said that he wanted to serve the country, hoping that Chairman Mao could leave him in Yan'an, Chairman Mao saw Shen Zhiyue's words sincerely, and after investigation, Shen Zhiyue's life experience did not have any problems, and he completely passed the political trial, So Shen Zhiyue justifiably stayed.
In the following work, Shen Zhiyue played the image of an excellent Communist Party member very conscientiously, he not only put forward a lot of valuable suggestions at various meetings, but also carried forward the spirit of hard-working and hard-working, and was highly praised by his colleagues. Soon, Shen Zhiyue got the opportunity to become Chairman Mao's secretary, and he was one step closer to his goal, but he didn't expect that this was actually the beginning of his exposure.
One day, Chairman Mao was thinking hard because of work, in order to relieve the anxiety of his work, Chairman Mao casually asked Shen Zhiyue to help him light a cigarette, and asked Shen Zhiyue to light one for himself, and smoke with himself for a while, the two of them were smoking while discussing the topic of national affairs, and the conversation between them was very smooth without any abnormality, but after the two finished smoking and Shen Zhiyue left the room, Chairman Mao immediately ordered Shen Zhiyue to be transferred away from his side. Chairman Mao's sudden decision made the staff very puzzled, and expressed their doubts to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao said with great certainty that "there is something wrong with this person". Shen Zhiyue, what kind of feet did he expose?
It turned out that when smoking, Chairman Mao inadvertently found that Shen Zhiyue's smoking posture was completely imitating himself, and his actions were exactly the same as his own, for a normal person, smoking is a very casual thing, everyone has their own living habits, and Shen Zhiyue's behavior can only show that he has some ulterior work habits. However, Chairman Mao only had serious doubts about Shen Zhiyue, and he had no ironclad evidence to convict Shen Zhiyue, but for the sake of his own safety and the safety of the headquarters, Chairman Mao did not hesitate to choose to transfer Shen Zhiyue to the Party Central Committee, so as to reduce Shen Zhiyue's threat to the Communist Party to the greatest extent.
On the other hand, Shen Zhiyue didn't know what caused Chairman Mao's dissatisfaction, but he also realized in hindsight that he might have been exposed, and one of Shen Zhiyue's accomplices had also been arrested at that time, and he also confessed that there was also a spy lurking in Yan'an, but this spy didn't know that his accomplice was Shen Zhiyue. Shen Zhiyue, who was afraid that he would be completely exposed, could not sleep well, for the sake of his own safety, he decided to leave Yan'an as soon as possible before his identity was fully exposed, so he applied to work in Zhejiang, and then returned to Chongqing and returned to Chiang Kai-shek's side, and at this time, Shen Zhiyue's identity was finally revealed. After the end of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Shen Zhiyue fled to Taiwan with the Kuomintang army. Later, after the founding of New China, Shen Zhiyue also carried out the task of assassinating Liu Shaoqi.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhiyue was seriously ill in his later years, returned to the mainland, and went to Beijing for medical treatment, and Deng Xiaoping actually met Shen Zhiyue in his busy schedule, so in the community, there are all kinds of conjectures about Shen Zhiyue's identity, some people say that Shen Zhiyue may not be a simple Kuomintang spy, or may be a double agent of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but there is no accurate historical data to verify all this, maybe one day we can find some more authoritative information, when the time comes, in order to solve the mystery of Shen Zhiyue's identity.
