In Chongqing in March 1946, Shen Anna, an agent lurking within the Kuomintang, was in danger of being exposed.
At the high-level military meeting that just ended, Shen Anna, as a confidential stenographer, took relevant records of the contents of the meeting.
But Chiang Kai-shek was very cautious when it came to some top-secret issues, and he asked everyone to put down their pens and only listen to them.
Shen Anna, who had a strong memory, memorized this information by heart, quickly wrote it down after the meeting and sent it to Yan'an.
The Kuomintang was very embarrassed to learn of the leaked secrets: they decided to thoroughly investigate the people involved in the meeting, and Shen Anna's shorthand section was undoubtedly the focus of suspicion.
At that time, in addition to Shen Anna, who was sent by the confidential department to participate in shorthand work, the other was the chief of the shorthand section.
But the chief of the shorthand section has been working for decades, and generally no one will suspect it; then the most suspicious person naturally fell to Shen Anna.
Seeing the danger approaching her step by step, Shen Anna in the desperate situation suddenly came up with an idea: to take advantage of the "infighting" between these cadres to take the initiative.
In the past eight years of lurking, Shen Anna has long understood the psychology of these people, and for them, the important thing is not to catch internal traitors, but to keep their own official road.
At the next day's investigation meeting, the heads of various departments were shirking responsibility from each other, and in the midst of the tongue-in-cheek argument, Shen Anna interjected very "at the right time".
"By the way, the reporter from the Central News Agency seems to have come more diligently lately."
A seemingly casual sentence instantly made everyone turn their spearhead to the reporter who was always around them to inquire about various news.
But at the end of the day, no one wants to actually investigate this journalist.
First, the reporter's backstage is very hard, and they are reluctant to provoke; second, they are afraid of involving themselves, and more is better than less.
The investigation work was so hasty, and this clever trick of "moving flowers and trees" allowed Shen Anna on the edge of the cliff to overcome the danger...
The above story is not a bridge in any spy drama, but a real history.
Shen Anna, who walked on the tip of the knife, sent a lot of important information to our party in her lurking career of more than ten years, so she was called "the person who held the pulse of Chiang Kai-shek."
In people's consistent impression, those glorious heroic deeds are often created by men;
But in fact, women like Shen Anna were not uncommon in the war years, and they also wrote many moving legends...
01, "I want to disassociate myself from Mao Zedong, unless the sea is dry and rotten"
"Yesterday, I talked to my brother about you, and I looked very ordinary, but the tears fell somehow, and I want to forget you." 」
It was a family letter and a love letter, sent by Yang Kaihui and received by her husband, Mao Zedong.
In 1918, Yang Kaihui was 17 years old, Mao Zedong was 25 years old, and two young people with a difference of 8 years fell in love in the winter of this year.
Like all people in the period of love, the two are often "tired" together: looking into the distance at the head of orange island, talking about life ideals in the love pavilion, imagining the possibilities of the future...
Two years later, Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui held a wedding in Changsha, although it was very simple, but the two were very satisfied.
In 1927, when the Revolution failed, Mao Zedong decided to go to the Xianggan border to organize the Autumn Harvest Uprising, when his youngest son Mao Anlong was only four months old.
Looking at Mao Zedong's fading figure, Yang Kaihui had a vague uneasiness.
But she did not expect that this was a farewell for the two.
In 1930, during the darkest period of the Chinese revolution, the Kuomintang carried out a nationwide hunt and massacre of the Communists.
Among the revolutionaries, the most attractive to them is undoubtedly Yang Kaihui.
The mere title of "Mao Zedong's wife" was a great temptation for the Kuomintang reactionaries.
On October 24 of that year, a Kuomintang agent who had been squatting in Yang Kaihui's hometown for a long time found that Yang Kaihui had secretly returned home, and immediately broke into Yang's house and arrested her.
"As long as you are willing to reform, your life is not in danger."
"Regarding politics, each has its own own interests, and my life has long been unconcerned, and if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent person."
In the face of the threats and temptations in prison, in the face of the imminent death, Yang Kaihui was relieved.
Although he was reluctant to have three young children, and although he still wanted to see his husband, whom he missed every day, Yang Kaihui knew that he could not live, only to die.
"Death is not a pity, but I hope that the revolution of Run will succeed as soon as possible."
On November 14, it was late autumn.
Yang Kaihui, who was tied up with flowers, was escorted by the execution team and paraded the streets for an hour, and finally stopped at the Literacy Ridge Execution Ground.
After the two gunshots, Yang Kaihui fell to the ground in response, but at this moment she was not dead, she was still holding her breath, and her fingers were dead in the ground.
Another gunshot rang out, and Yang Kaihui's life was frozen.
This year, Yang Kaihui was 29 years old.
02, "You are the eternal lover of the proletariat"
On May 1, 1928, Xiang Jingyu, who was about to set foot on the execution ground, cleaned himself up with dignity.
She deliberately straightened her hair and changed into the green cheongsam she wore when she married Cai and Sen, because for Xiang Jingyu, she was not greeted by death, but with a new life.
"In the future, if I can't do a big thing, I will crush myself to pieces and burn myself to ashes!"
This is a sentence written by Xiang Jingyu when she was a teenager, and it turned out that she was ready to do something big in the future.
At the age of 16, despite his parents' objections, he left home to study in Changsha, and at the age of 24, he joined the Xinmin Society founded by Mao Zedong, Cai and Sen, and Xiang Jianyu was definitely a well-known independent woman in that era.
One year, a warlord named Zhou Zefan took a fancy to Xiang Jingyu and intended to marry her as a concubine, which made Xiang Jianyu angry, and immediately went to the warlord's house to directly show the other party that this family affair was absolutely impossible.
Xiang Jingyu, who advocates freedom, would rather drift alone for a lifetime than live like this until she meets Cai and Sen.
On the ship to France, Xiang Jianyu and Cai and Sen chatted all the way, talked about the country and ideals, and talked about the future, and two like-minded people came together.
Xiang Zhenyu never thought that he, who had always advocated celibacy, would one day break through his defenses, fall in love with someone and marry him.
Not long after arriving in France, witnessed by friends, the two quietly held a wedding in a small town, and later gave birth to two more children.
However, after returning to China, Xiang Jianyu still focused on the revolutionary cause, for her, although the family is important, but only when the revolution is victorious, the family will get permanent happiness.
Even during the White Terror, Xiang Did not evacuate, but remained in Wuhan, the center of the storm, to continue her covert operations.
In March 1928, for betrayal by traitors, Xiang Was arrested and imprisoned, and two months later he was sentenced to death.
On the way to the execution site, he shouted slogans to the police in high spirits.
"Long live the Chinese Communist Party!"
The proletariat unites, and the days of the reactionaries will not be too long! “
Although we have read such words in many books, for Xiang Jingyu, who shouted this slogan, it was a sincere cry from the heart, an externalization of her inner emotions.
The police officer escorting her picked up the stone on the ground, stuffed it into Xiang Yu's mouth, and tightened her cheek with a belt, and soon Xiang Yu's mouth was covered with blood.
But she was still shouting in a muffled voice until the moment the gunshots rang out...
After Xiang Jingyu's death, Cai he and Sen wrote the following sentence in the letter: You are not he and Sen's personal lover, you are the eternal lover of the Chinese proletariat.
This year, Xiang Police was 33 years old.
03, keep the last bullet to yourself
In April 1940, the Japanese invaders were sweeping the Jinsui anti-Japanese base area.
Among those covering the breakout, one person stands out: a pregnant woman who has been pregnant for three months.
Her name was Li Lin, and she was a cadre in the Jinsui Border Region, and her superiors had originally planned to let her retreat with her, rather than leave behind to cover.
But Li Lin's attitude was very resolute: I must stay, there is no need to discuss!
Because in Li Lin's heart, she has never been able to forget the humiliation of being called "the sick man of East Asia" by foreigners when she was a child, and she wants the world to see that Chinese is not a sick man, not only a man, but also a woman who is strong enough!
Unlike many female comrades, Li Lin was unwilling to stay in the rear, but to learn his skills to kill the enemy on the front line.
In 1938, Li Lin formed the eighth detachment of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force in Northern Yanbei, and in many battles, he repeatedly accomplished great feats, and those who did not look favorably on her had to respect her.
This time, Li Lin rushed into the Japanese camp with her cavalry platoon, attracting enemy fire and buying time for the transfer of large troops.
After the breakthrough was successful, Li Lin, who had escaped from the encirclement, heard the sound of gunfire in the west, turned back to engage in a gun battle with the enemy, and finally was surrounded by several bullets by the enemy.
Li Lin in a desperate situation found that she had the last bullet left, she shook her head, touched her stomach, and made a final goodbye to the child in her belly.
A few seconds later, Li Lin aimed at his throat and pulled the trigger...
This year, Li Lin was 24 years old.
04, the power of "they"
The above stories are all from the series of documentaries "Daughters of the Party", which shows us the stories of 100 female party members in the past hundred years in the form of oral narration and scene interpretation.
We have learned more or less about them from history books, news, and documentaries, but we always feel that we are far away from our real lives.
But "Daughter of the Party" is different, it allows us to see the ordinary side of those female revolutionary pioneers and heroic models.
Just like the "Age of Awakening" some time ago, why can it become the "hit" of the main theme?
Because it is not limited to the word "great man", but to dye them with pyrotechnic gas and become "ordinary people" with seven passions and six desires and flesh and blood.
The same is true of "Daughters of the Party", which describes the extraordinary legends they have created as a chapter of adult life, an interlude.
Putting aside the aura of greatness, they are also mothers, daughters, and individuals with independent thoughts and pursuits.
As netizens said, men and women have such a clear line, as long as women support it, they are also well-known heroes.
