Zhao Yunfei witnessed Zheng Qun's sacrifice and was deeply shocked. He completely lost faith in the Secrecy Bureau and decided to leave and find a new direction in life. Chen Yuting took the initiative to file for divorce from him as a reason to leave. However, Zhao Yunfei quietly left on the eve of the wedding, leaving only a letter. He embarked on a journey to Yan'an alone and started a new life journey. Zhao Yunfei's decision, although Chen Yuting was sad and wept, contributed to three exciting good things. What's a good thing about that? What kind of trials and tests will Zhao Yunfei experience?
1. Zhao Yunfei left home to seek a new direction
In the autumn of 1898, on a cold night, Zhao Yunfei sat on the train, looking at the scenery speeding by outside the window, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. Hesitation, confusion, melancholy, and a hint of inexplicable expectations. Just a few days ago, he was a glorious Kuomintang soldier, but today he ran away from home and went to the unfamiliar Yan'an.
Zhao Yunfei was born in a scholarly family, and his ancestors were strict, and he was taught to contribute to the country and the people since he was a child. Although he joined the army, he longed for communist ideals and beliefs in his heart. However, during his work in the Secret Bureau, he saw too much chilling darkness and cruelty, and Zheng Qun's beautiful years ended miserably. Zhao Yunfei was deeply affected and completely lost confidence in the decay of the Kuomintang ruling class.
Just when his spirit and thoughts were at their most chaotic, Chen Yuting warmed his heart like a ray of sunshine. Chen Yuting was also a member of the Secret Bureau, she had seen too much blood, and she lost trust in the people in the bureau, so she took the initiative to propose to Zhao Yunfei in order to get a reason to leave. Zhao Yunfei was moved by her sincere love, and for a while he had hope for the future.
But the night before the wedding, Zhao Yunfei made a decision, he left a letter and went to Yan'an, located on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi. Zhao Yunfei knows that the road ahead is full of thorns, but he is more willing to pursue his inner faith than to continue to stay in the decaying old society.
2. Three unexpected and good things happened one by one
After Zhao Yunfei left, although Chen Yuting was disappointed and sad, she quickly walked out of the haze and continued to work under Ye Xiangzhi. Ye Xiangzhi, an extremely cautious and knowledgeable elder, found that Chen Yuting had been suspicious of the truth about his adoptive father's death and could not devote himself to his work. In order to help her untie the knot, Ye Xiangzhi revealed a lot of inside information to her, allowing her to gradually get closer to the truth.
At the same time, Zhao Yunfei successfully arrived in Yan'an, and after Luo Qingchang's assessment and interview, he was officially hired as an underground agent of the Chinese Communist Party. He was given the daunting task of stealing important military information from the communications group of the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan's southern brigade in the northwest. On the eve of his departure, Zhao Yunfei was also fortunate to be personally received by Li Kenong, the leader of the Communist Party of China, who earnestly instructed him to take Zheng Qun and Xiao Qi as examples, strengthen his ideals and beliefs, and make unremitting efforts to win the final victory.
After leaving Yan'an, Zhao Yunfei returned safely to his hometown in Xi'an and reunited with his friends Yu Qingjiang and Wu Tailin. The three of them once fought side by side in the Secret Bureau, and now although they go their separate ways, they still have the same pure heart for the motherland. Yu Qingjiang and Wu Tailin decided to assist Zhao Yunfei in his special mission, and they used the radio station to establish a secret communication channel with Yan'an, and successfully transmitted a lot of valuable military information.
3. Why did Zhao Yunfei go alone?
When Zhao Yunfei stepped on the train to Yan'an, Chen Yuting was alone in a rented hut in Beiping, crying bitterly. She couldn't understand why Zhao Yunfei suddenly left on the eve of the wedding, leaving only a simple farewell letter. Chen Yuting recalled the bits and pieces of their acquaintance, Zhao Yunfei has always been a trustworthy person, and what he did must have other meanings.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Yunfei went to Yan'an alone was because Chen Yuting still had a knot in her heart that she couldn't let go. Her adoptive father, Chen Guocai, was a loyal Kuomintang general, but he died unexpectedly in a military operation, and the cause of death has been a mystery. Chen Yuting has always believed that her father did not die in the line of duty, but was plotted. She is obsessed with finding out the truth and finding the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to bring justice to her father.
Ye Xiangzhi, as Chen Yuting's boss, understands her obsession. He has been secretly investigating the matter in private, hoping to untie Chen Yuting's knot. Ye Xiangzhi knew that if Chen Yuting followed Zhao Yunfei to Yan'an like this, the unresolved doubts would become a stumbling block on her way forward, affecting her to play a role in the new environment and new work.
Therefore, Ye Xiangzhi persuaded Zhao Yunfei to go alone first, and when the time was ripe, he would inform Chen Yuting of the results of the investigation. Only by getting rid of this major problem in her heart can Chen Yuting truly untie the knot in her heart and devote herself to the cause of New China.
Fourth, a new journey, tempering and testing
After arriving in Yan'an, Zhao Yunfei was personally received and assessed by Luo Qingchang, the person in charge of the Langshan Base Area in Yan'an, of the Communist Party of China. Luo Qingchang looked at the young man who had defected from within the Kuomintang, and he had heard some news about Zhao Yunfei many years ago. Luo Qingchang first asked Zhao Yunfei to explain in detail why he left the Kuomintang and joined the Communist Party, and then conducted a strict assessment of his political consciousness and military literacy.
After some understanding and investigation, Luo Qingchang spoke highly of Zhao Yunfei and praised him for his courage and resourcefulness, and he was a rare and valuable revolutionary talent. At the same time, however, he also warned him that if he wants to gain a foothold in the great revolutionary cause of the Communist Party, he must be tempered and tested, and he must strengthen his ideals and convictions and work hard like his predecessors.
Subsequently, Li Kenong, the leader of the Communist Party of China, also personally met with Zhao Yunfei. Li Kenong said earnestly: Now is the most crucial period, the arrogance of the Kuomintang reactionaries has reached the highest point, and we must closely unite and work together to achieve the final victory. He instructed Zhao Yunfei to take the revolutionary martyrs Zheng Qun and Xiao Qi as examples, strengthen his faith, and dedicate everything to the revolutionary cause.
After leaving Yan'an, Zhao Yunfei accepted a difficult task, which was to infiltrate the communications group of the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan's team and steal important military information. In order to hide his identity, Zhao Yunfei risked his life and successfully infiltrated the enemy with tricky means. Within the troops, he had to hide not only his true identity, but also to be cautious so as not to expose the whereabouts of the revolutionary. He has been in desperate situations many times, and he has defused the crisis with keen insight and extraordinary resourcefulness.
5. A new path for patriots
During Zhao Yunfei's risking his life to infiltrate the Kuomintang troops, Chen Yuting was not always immersed in pain. She quickly regained her fighting spirit and continued to work under Ye Xiangzhi. Although Ye Xiangzhi is old, he still pays attention to the changes in the situation, and as always, he adheres to the firm belief of not being afraid of power and opposing corruption.
Ye Xiangzhi found that Chen Yuting's doubts about the cause of the death of her adoptive father Chen Guocai had become a major psychological burden for her at work. Chen Guocai was a Kuomintang general during his lifetime and was unfortunately killed during the War of Resistance Against Japan. But there has never been a transparent official explanation of the exact cause of his death. Chen Yuting is convinced that her father did not die accidentally, but was plotted.
In order to untie Chen Yuting's knot, Ye Xiangzhi used his huge network of contacts to secretly launch a secret investigation, hoping to find out the truth for her. After a period of time, Ye Xiangzhi finally found some key clues, which all pointed to Gao Zhenyi, the betrayer of the Military Command Bureau, who was behind the scenes. Gao Zhenyi was once a senior general of the Kuomintang, but during the Anti-Japanese War, he actually served the Japanese army and became a traitor. He harbored a grudge against the Military Command Bureau, and on many occasions laid a net to kill the personnel of the Military Command.
Soon, Ye Xiangzhi informed Chen Yuting of the investigation. Although Chen Yuting was deeply saddened by her father's plot, her inner doubts were finally resolved. She is determined to seek justice for her father, and she is ashamed. At the same time, she also realized that it was impossible to change the status quo by staying within the old military class, and that only by joining the Communist Party could she overthrow the rotten old system.
At this moment, the comrades sent by Zhao Yunfei came to meet Chen Yuting in Qingjiang and invited her to Yan'an. Chen Yuting readily agreed, she had untied her heart knot, and she wanted to fight side by side with Zhao Yunfei and contribute her own strength to the cause of New China. So, Chen Yuting resolutely left Beiping and opened a new chapter in her new journey in life.
