In the winter of 1935, in the area of Laoximen, Shanghai. A young woman walks through the streets, her eyes searching for something. Her name is Li Yun, and she is a Communist agent who is on a secret mission - to find two boys living on the streets. Who exactly are these two boys? Why are they important? Li Yun didn't know the whole truth, but she vaguely felt that there was an amazing secret hidden behind it...
Background: The revolutionary road of the red female spy
Li Yun, the little-known red female spy, her revolutionary road can be described as full of twists and turns.
Born in Shanghai in 1915, Li Yun lived in a revolutionary atmosphere since he was a child. At the age of 8, she entered a special elementary school - the principal and teachers were almost all Communists. Here, the seeds of revolution were quietly planted.
In 1929, at the age of 14, Li Yun joined the Communist Youth League. A year later, she became an honorable member of the Communist Party again. You must know that China was in turmoil at that time, and the Kuomintang was launching a frenzied encirclement and suppression of the Communist Party. A 15-year-old girl dares to take the risk of joining the party, which is not small!
Li Yun was soon sent on various secret missions. She dressed up as an ordinary student and participated in student sports; Become a small trader and pass on information. On one occasion, she witnessed a debate within the party after Wang Ming came to power – the scene was so intense that it almost didn't get into a fight.
In this way, Li Yun crawled through the rain of bullets and soon grew into an excellent underground worker. Her performance attracted organizational attention, and in 1932 she was transferred to work in the Central Special Branch. Since then, Li Yun has officially embarked on the legendary road of the red female spy.
Cause: An unexpected mission
Who would have thought that an unexpected mission would involve Li Yun in a thrilling secret operation?
In the winter of 1935, Li Yun was on a daily mission in Shanghai. On this day, her husband Xu Qiang suddenly called her to her and gave her a special task: to find two boys.
"The older one is 13 or 4 years old, and the younger one is 11 or 2 years old." Xu Qiang briefly explained, "They are the descendants of martyrs, who escaped from their adoptive families and may now be living on the streets." "
Li Yun wondered in his heart: This task is too strange, right? What's so special about two little kids? But as a trained agent, she knew she shouldn't ask.
So, Li Yun began a long search. She walked the streets and alleys of Shanghai, mingling with street children. Every day at noon, she would appear in the area of the old West Gate. There are often well-wishers who give leftovers, and it is a favorite place for street children.
Li Yun carefully observed each child, hoping to find clues. But a month has passed, two months have passed, half a year has passed... Still nothing.
Li Yun was a little frustrated, but she didn't give up. Her instincts told her that these two children must be extraordinary. Perhaps, their identities are involved in some big secret?
Just when Li Yun was about to lose heart, an unexpected news came: the children had been found! And it has been sent to a safe place.
Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but there were more questions in his heart: Who found it? And where did you find it? Why didn't you let her know the details? It wasn't until many years later that Li Yun learned the truth: it turned out that what she was looking for was Mao Zedong's two sons - Mao Anying and Mao Anqing!
Conflict Development: The thrilling journey of the Red Female Spy
Li Yun's career as an agent can be described as thrilling and full of unexpected turns.
In 1935, the Central Special Branch suffered a heavy blow, and most of the comrades were exposed. Li Yun and her husband Xu Qiang became one of the few agents who persevered. They took over the Central Library, which kept important documents from the founding of the Party. If these documents fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Li Yun and Xu Qiang carefully transferred the library. They hide their documents in all sorts of unexpected places: in the soles of their shoes, in the layers of their clothes, and even in their dentures! Each transfer is a dance on the tip of a knife, and the slightest carelessness will be exposed.
In 1936, an even more thrilling mission awaited Li Yun. The organization sent her to be Song Qingling's liaison. You must know that Soong Qingling is Sun Yat-sen's widow, an important member of the Kuomintang, and is closely monitored by secret agents. Every time Li Yun went to see Song Qingling, he walked on thin ice, for fear of being targeted.
Once, as soon as Li Yun arrived at Song Qingling's house, he found two bullets and a threatening letter in the mailbox. If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely be scared and weak, but Song Qingling didn't care. Li Yun secretly admired Song Qingling's courage, and he was more cautious.
After the outbreak of the Xi'an incident, the situation became even more tense. Li Yun became an important link between Soong Ching-ling and the Communist Party. She wants to deliver the news under the noses of the Kuomintang spies, and the slightest carelessness is a big deal for her head.
In this way, Li Yun spent day after day in thrills. Every step she took could have been the line between life and death, but she never backed down. Because she knows that she has an important mission on her shoulders.
Climax: Thrilling moments and unexpected turnarounds
In 1937, the Japanese army attacked the Shanghai Concession, and the situation was critical. Li Yun received an urgent task: to escort Song Qingling to evacuate safely.
This is not an easy task. As an important member of the Kuomintang, Soong Ching-ling's every move was under the surveillance of the Japanese. How to get out of the hail of bullets safely? Li Yun racked his brains.
In the end, she came up with a bold plan. She asked Song Qingling to dress up as an ordinary woman, and she pretended to be Song's maid. The two mixed in with the fleeing crowd and quietly slipped out of Shanghai.
The road is thrilling. Once, they were almost discovered by Japan sentinels. At the last moment, Li Yun wittily asked Song Qingling to pretend to faint, and he yelled to divert attention.
Finally arrived in Hong Kong, Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, a bigger challenge awaited her. Song Qingling suddenly asked her, "Am I a party member?"
This question made Li Yun confused. Although Song Qingling has always supported the Communist Party, he has not officially joined the party. Li Yun did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he had no choice but to say: "You are as important as a Communist Party member."
Song Qingling was very happy when she heard this, but Li Yun was uneasy in her heart. She knew that the issue of Soong Ching-ling's joining the party must be decided by the Central Committee. If it is not handled properly, it may affect the work of the united front.
Just when Li Yun was in a dilemma, an accident happened. Her child suddenly fell ill and had to go back to Shanghai to take care of her. Li Yun thought that he would be able to return to Hong Kong soon, but he did not expect that there would suddenly be a new arrangement in the organization.
In 1939, Li Yun was transferred to Yan'an. She wrote a letter to Song Qingling, explaining that she could no longer be a liaison. Li Yun thought that his career as an agent was over.
