In 1938, the secretary casually handed Chairman Mao a cigarette, but the chairman found a flaw, and then was immediately transferred. This person's name is Shen Hui, and he came to Yan'an with the professor's delegation in April of that year, and it seems that he has seen the red atmosphere of Yan'an, and he strongly expresses his desire to stay in Yan'an. He had a good track record in his previous work, and he was also a member of our party in his early years, so the Central Committee approved him to stay, and he was soon transferred to Chairman Mao's side and became a secretary to handle the handover of documents. It's just that one day, Shen Hui handed Chairman Mao a cigarette and helped light it, this process made Chairman Mao realize that something was wrong, and immediately ordered Shen Hui to be transferred. What did Chairman Mao find wrong? Is there really a problem with Shen Hui? Pay attention to it, let's reveal the identity of Shen Hui, a model party member for seven years.
Shen Hui, as Chairman Mao's secretary, was transferred after not working for long, and many people talked about it. Some people think that Shen Hui is not familiar with the affairs of Yan'an and is incompetent in his work, and some people think that Shen Hui made a big mistake in his work, and Chairman Mao couldn't bear it and transferred him away. What is the real reason? This started when Shen Hui came to Yan'an.
It was April 1938, and two cars suddenly came to Yan'an, and the people sitting in the cars turned out to be Kuomintang officers, whose military rank was not low, and the leader of the team was a colonel. From the colonel's mouth, the sentry learned that the men had come to visit the visiting group of professors, including two professors and a seemingly capable assistant. The two professors, who originally worked at Peking University, went to Chongqing Central University after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, and they were angry at the Japanese invaders' poisoning of China and wanted to unite all forces to fight the enemy. Yan'an is their first choice, and learning more about the situation here is also convenient for the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
This was the first person to come to Yan'an to visit, and he was a well-known literati, so the central government attached great importance to their arrival and welcomed them into Yan'an to entertain them with delicious food and drink. Chairman Mao and others vacated the best rooms for them to live in, there was also a hot water supply every day, and there were special guards to protect them around the clock, which can be said to have given enough face. Chairman Mao personally received them, and the exchanges between the two sides were very friendly, and they spent a pleasant time. It's just that when they left, there was a small accident.
Their assistant Shen Hui suddenly proposed to stay here, not only Chairman Mao was puzzled, but the professors were also puzzled. Shen Hui explained that during his month in Yan'an, he had a very good impression of our army, and established a good relationship with the soldiers through playing basketball, and at the same time, he also very much hoped to continue to work in this place full of red atmosphere to realize his ideal ambitions, so he made this request.
Shen Hui's performance in this month was good, and after consideration, the organization thought that it was not a bad thing to have a progressive intellectual youth join, so they agreed to his request. It's just that the central government still has doubts about his identity, so the organization found underground comrades in Chongqing and asked them to collect information about Shen Hui. According to Shen Hui, he grew up in Henan, and two years ago he studied at Kaifeng Normal School, and during the war-torn period, he went to Chongqing and was admitted to Central University with hard work, which also had the help of professors.
The higher authorities sent Wang Fan, the deputy director of the security department, to investigate Shen Hui, and his response was not leaky, but Wang Fan still found that something was wrong. Wang Fan had a wealth of experience and a keen sense of underground struggle in Shanghai in his early years, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt weird. Chairman Mao also felt this way, so he transferred Shen Hui away. What exactly did they find? Could it be that there is really something wrong with Shen Hui's identity?
In 1938, Chairman Mao transferred the secretary who had just arrived because of a cigarette handed by his secretary, what did he find?
The organization attached great importance to Shen Hui's identity, and not only asked people to go to Chongqing to find underground comrades to confirm, but also asked Wang Fan, deputy director of the security department, to test it, and this temptation really found that there was a problem. The process of Wang Fan chatting with Shen Hui is very ordinary, that is, chatting about family life, but Wang Fan found that Shen Hui, who claimed to be from Henan, did not have a Henan accent, but had more accents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Wang Fan pretended not to care about asking this question, but Shen Hui did not show the slightest flaw, and explained with a smile: "I have a relative who works in Shanghai, and when I was a child, I went to the city for a few years, and I learned some accents over there. While speaking, Shen Hui also said a few words of Shanghainese. Wang Fan has worked in Shanghai for many years, and at first glance it sounds fine, but this only increases his doubts, why Shen Hui's answer seems to have been prepared in advance, so perfect that it is not true. But he couldn't find fault with it, so he could only wait for a reply from Chongqing. Before that, he could only arrange for some people to quietly stare at Shen Hui.
Chairman Mao worked a lot in Yan'an, and there were not enough people around him, Shen Hui, who performed very well at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, was highly recommended by Kang Sheng to work beside Chairman Mao. After Wang Fan discussed with Chairman Mao, he thought that he could be allowed to do it first, and Chairman Mao could also inspect Shen Hui. This investigation made Chairman Mao discover the problem.
We all know that Chairman Mao is a big smoker, and he often comes to one when he is stressed. As for the cigarettes smoked, Chairman Mao had a soft spot for a brand, but Chairman Mao rarely showed it, so many people didn't know this small detail. During a work, Chairman Mao suddenly wanted to have one, Shen Hui could see from Chairman Mao's expression, and immediately took out a pack of brand-new cigarettes from his pocket, took out one from it and handed it to Chairman Mao. Shen Hui said that he knew that Chairman Mao liked this kind of cigarette, and he was worried that Chairman Mao would suddenly not be able to find a cigarette to smoke, so he prepared a pack on his body.
After Shen Hui lit a cigarette for Chairman Mao, he continued to deal with the work, but Chairman Mao felt very wrong with the cigarette, how could Shen Hui, who had just come to Yan'an, know his preferences? Could it be that he was studied in advance? Take 10,000 steps back and say, if he is really dedicated to the revolution, even if he knows his preferences because of coincidence, how can he do such a suspected sycophant. Many colleagues who have worked with Chairman Mao for a long time do not deliberately pay attention to this, and Shen Hui's behavior makes Chairman Mao feel very uncomfortable, thinking that Shen Hui may have approached him with other purposes. Therefore, Chairman Mao quickly made a decision to transfer Shen Hui away from his side first and inspect it for a period of time.
Chairman Mao and Wang Fan's guesses are correct, Shen Hui is indeed not an ordinary person, his identity before coming to Yan'an, he turned out to be a military commander spy of the Kuomintang, and he was quite valued by Dai Li. It's just that his identity is well disguised, and the underground party comrades in Chongqing have not found any problems. So was Shen Hui discovered by the organization? What was the purpose of his coming to Yan'an? And how does it end?
In 1938, Chairman Mao transferred the newly arrived secretary because of a cigarette handed by the secretary.
The reason why Shen Hui came to Yan'an was very simple, that is, to collect information about our party for the Kuomintang, and by the way, to seek an opportunity to assassinate Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai and other leaders of our party. His original name was Shen Zhiyue, and with the relationship of his father, he joined the professor's visiting group, came to Yan'an as an assistant, and then stayed here with excellent performance. By mistake, he was assigned to work as a secretary by Chairman Mao's side, which can be said to be only one step away from the success of the task. But Chairman Mao's eyes are like torches, how could he give Shen Zhiyue a chance? He was quickly transferred.
After being transferred away by Chairman Mao, Shen Zhiyue knew that his best chance was gone, so he began to lurk, becoming more and more low-key, as a spy, he also felt that he was being watched, so he was extremely cautious in his every move. With the passage of time, Shen Zhiyue's identity has not been found out, and the questioning and surveillance of him by the security department have gradually decreased. Shen Zhiyue thought that his lurking had succeeded, but he didn't expect that this was actually a trap set by Wang Fan, the deputy director of the Security Department.
One afternoon, Shen Zhiyue went to play basketball as usual to maintain a relationship, and on the way back, he suddenly noticed that there were two stones on the side of the road that were very abnormal in shape. It was the code set by Shen Zhiyue and his superiors to transmit the news in this way, so he saw that there was no one around, so he quickly found out a cigarette case hidden inside. There was a password message in the cigarette box, which asked Shen Zhiyue to meet at the agreed place the next day. Shen Zhiyue was a little apprehensive in his heart, his task had not been completed, and he had not collected effective information, so he decided not to go to the appointment, which also made Wang Fan pounce.
So was Shen Zhiyue caught by our party? In fact, in those years, the security department arrested a large number of spies, for example, they once caught a monk, who was sent by the Central Unification to lurk, so as to find out a large number of spies, but Shen Zhiyue was too cautious and did not secretly contact his colleagues, so he was not found out. The security department only knew that a killer had infiltrated Yan'an, and it was not clear who it was, and there was no clue after searching for more than a year.
In March 1940, Shen Zhiyue suddenly disappeared and never appeared again, so the security department did not continue to track down Shen Zhiyue's identity, but Wang Fan had already determined that Shen Zhiyue was a spy, because Shen Zhiyue had recommended a person to come to work, and this person was found to be an agent of the Kuomintang, so Shen Zhiyue was likely to abscond in fear of crime.
Where did Shen Zhiyue go? It turned out that he returned directly to the military command, and because of his ability to lurk, he was appointed section chief. It was not until 1943, when Shen Zhiyue was appointed as the stationmaster, that our party knew that he was already an official of the Kuomintang. Later, he fled to Taiwan with the Kuomintang, and took many photos of Chiang Kai-shek's ancestral grave for Chiang Kai-shek, so that Chiang Kai-shek knew that his ancestral tomb had not been destroyed, so he was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek and served as a high-ranking official in the Kuomintang.
Returning to Wang Fan's side, he caught a large number of enemy agents because he saw through the schemes of the spies many times, and was recognized by Chairman Mao, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he rose step by step in the public security and procuratorial systems. There are still many revolutionaries like Wang Fan, and it is precisely because of their presence that the safety of many revolutionary cadres is guaranteed.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhiyue's identity in the two parties is suspicious, at first he made a revolution in Shanghai to join our party, after his arrest, he joined the military under the pseudonym Li Guodong, and later entered Yan'an under the pseudonym Shen Hui. Until his position as a station chief in the military command was known to our party, the organization always thought that Shen Zhiyue was a comrade. Seven of his nine years of seniority were exemplary party members, and he did not actually cause any damage to our party, so many people thought he was an agent of our party, even his subordinates in the Kuomintang. So is Shen Zhiyue an agent of the military command or an agent of our army? This may have become a puzzle that will never be solved.
