He is a playboy, who is not worried about the dangers of the country, and is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, but he can spend thousands of dollars to rescue communists. The world spurned him as a spy, but Zhou Enlai praised him. He was the "great secret agent" Yang Dengying, and before his death, he repeatedly stressed that he was not a secret agent, and Zhou Enlai finally returned his innocence and let the world realize Yang Dengying's true identity.

Yang Dengying was born in Xiangshan, Guangdong in 1893, and the year he also gave birth to the future national leader Mao Zedong, so Yang Dengying's birth seems to be inextricably linked to the revolution. At this time, China was in a very passive state, the frequent harassment of Western powers, so that the people fell into the water, Yang Dengying, who saw all this in his eyes, knew the importance of knowledge to save the country.
During his trip to Japan, the great theory of Marxism deeply immersed Yang Dengying, and he began to frequently read relevant books, and the revolutionary fire in his heart became more and more intense. Many years of study abroad experience have enabled Yang Dengying to have a deep understanding of Japan's cultural and political fields, which also laid the foundation for his future revolutionary road.
In 1919, the May Fourth Revolutionary Movement broke out in China, and Yang Dengying, who graduated from Waseda University, resolutely joined the revolution after returning to China. Subsequently, Yang Dengying, who was fluent in Japanese, began to work for the Nippon News Agency, and because of his ability to speak well and be knowledgeable, Yang Dengying soon became familiar with the Japanese, the Shanghai gang, and the patrol house
In 1924, Yang Dengying became a member of the Kuomintang. In the Kuomintang, there will always be one person around Yang Dengying, that is, Yang Jianhong. The fate of Yang Dengying and Yang Jianhong originated from the May Fourth Movement, although the two did not have much common language, but because of the hometown, the two could not help but get closer and closer, and even to the same pot of rice, sleep in the same bed of intimacy.
At this time, Yang Dengying did not have a "reaction" to the Nationalist government, but what Chiang Kai-shek did next made waves in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek unilaterally sabotaged the kuomintang-Communist cooperation plan, and Yang Dengying was very angry at Chiang Kai-shek's approach and could not help but say a few ugly words. Yang Dengying's words were transmitted to Chiang Kai-shek's ears by people with hearts, and then Chiang Kai-shek sent people to arrest Yang Dengying and imprison him.
After Cai Yuanpei's rescue, Yang Dengying was successfully released from prison. Shortly after his release from prison, Yang Jianhong found Yang Dengying in front of him, but now Yang Jianhong's identity has changed a lot. Yang Jianhong, as the Shanghai commissioner of the Kuomintang Central Investigation Section, came this time to persuade Yang Dengying to join the Central Investigation Section, first, the two had a close relationship, and second, Yang Jianhong really needed a helper.
Yang Jianhong's proposal made Yang Dengying a little embarrassed, he did not want to embarrass his friends because of his refusal, nor did he want to continue to work hard for Chiang Kai-shek. Yang Dengying, who did not know how to be good for a while, informed another friend Chen Yangshan of his inner troubles. Unlike Yang Dengying's position, Chen Yangshan is a Communist Party member, so how did these two become close friends?
Yang Dengying and Chen Yangshan were introduced by others, and there was a sense of seeing between the two, Chen Yangshan would often ask Yang Dengying questions in Japanese, and Yang Dengying naturally knew the identity of Chen Yangshan's Communist Party, but this did not hinder the friendship between the two.
After Chen Yangshan learned of Yang Dengying's views on Chiang Kai-shek and his current difficulties, he told Chen Geng about it, and Chen Geng could not help but become interested when he heard that Chen Yangshan was full of praise for Yang Dengying. After Zhou Enlai learned about Yang Dengying from Chen Geng, he asked Chen Geng and Yang Dengying to talk alone, and Zhou Enlai's idea was to pull Yang Dengying into the communist side and act as an internal line in the National Government.
After a detailed conversation with Chen Geng, Yang Dengying deeply understood the nature and mission of the Communist Party, which made him decide to serve the Communist Party. When he learned of the arrangements made by the party for him, Yang Dengying did not hesitate to agree. Later, Yang Dengying found Yang Jianhong and expressed his willingness to join the Kuomintang intelligence agency.

With his knowledge and what he saw and heard, Yang Dengying was quickly appreciated by Chen Lifu and Zhang Daofan, and successfully penetrated the middle and upper echelons of the Kuomintang. Yang Dengying had more and more intelligence in his hands, and as soon as he had time, he would convey the secrets he knew to Chen Geng in a timely manner. After Yang Jianhong's death, Yang Dengying's status was raised one level higher.
In the decades that Yang Dengying has been a "secret agent," although kuomintang government officials have changed one after another, Yang Dengying has always been able to establish good relations with newly appointed officials. Yang Dengying's relationship with Chen Lifu was relatively good, and Chen Lifu's cousin Xu Enzeng was also extremely co-opted by Yang Dengying. Unconsciously, Yang Dengying woven a very large network of relations in the Kuomintang.
In order to obtain more information, the Kuomintang began to set up commissioners in many large cities, and Yang Dengying easily won the important position of Shanghai commissioner with strong connections and superb ability. During his reign, Yang Dengying successively delivered many important messages to the Communist Party, saved communists several times, helped eliminate traitors such as Bai Xin and Dai Bingshi, and made important contributions to the victory of the revolution.

In 1931, Gu Shunzhang, who was arrested by the Kuomintang, openly defected, and in order to win the trust of the Kuomintang government, Gu Shunzhang, who held many important secrets of the party organization, reported to the Kuomintang government without saying a word, of which Yang Dengying did things for the Communist Party.
After being arrested and imprisoned, Yang Dengying firmly denied doing anything for the Communist Party, and despite the Kuomintang's coercion and inducement, he never revealed any information about the Communist Party. Half a year later, Zhang Daofan rescued Yang Dengying from prison. Later, Yang Dengying was again appointed by the Kuomintang government as the vice president of the "Reflection Institute" in Nanjing, but at this time, Yang Dengying no longer had the previous scenery.
After the founding of New China, Yang Dengying was arrested by the Nanjing government for being a spy, and during interrogation, Yang Dengying repeatedly stressed that he was introduced by Chen Yangshan to do things for the Communist Party, and Chen Geng could prove it for himself. Looking at Yang Dengying, who did not seem to be cheating, the Nanjing government then sent a letter to Chen Geng who was far away in Beijing to inquire.
Chen Geng replied to the letter explaining Yang Dengying's major contributions to the party, and then Chen Geng arranged for someone to send Yang Dengying to Beijing. In the decades of losing contact with the party, Yang Dengying looked at Chen Geng, Chen Yangshan and other friends and not only sighed with emotion, but when he learned of Yang Dengying's difficult life, Chen Geng and others also gave him great help, and told him that he could always seek help when he had difficulties in the future.
In 1969, Yang Dengying left this world, and before his death, he always stressed that he was not a secret agent, and Premier Zhou knew his identity. After learning the news of Yang Dengying's death, Premier Zhou sent people to visit his family members while sad and expressed his condolences. Even on his deathbed, Premier Zhou kept chanting Yang Dengying's name.

Yang Dengying's life has experienced great ups and downs, he was once the head of the secret service who held great power, and he was also an ordinary person who was forced to be poor. People who don't know Yang Dengying will think that he is a traitor and a traitor, but those who really understand him understand what kind of contributions he has made to the Chinese Communist Party, and his life should not be criticized by others, because he is a truly patriotic person.
