The Pacific War broke out at the end of 1941

This person was evacuated from Hong Kong

He was arrested by the Kuomintang authorities

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China immediately launched rescue work

After the rescue was successful

Who is it

It was important for Zhou Enlai and Dong Biwu to personally send a letter to rescue him

Just when he was full of fighting spirit

When you're ready to make a big show

His father, Liao Zhongkai, was assassinated by the Kuomintang rightists

Night Reading | Called "the baby within the party" by Mao Zedong, his life is legendary and tortuous

During the investigation

Liao Chengzhi saw a lot of criminals

They were once guests of honor at home

I can't help but fall into reflection

Soon after

Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup

A large number of Communists and revolutionaries were massacred

In this bloody storm

Liao Chengzhi was completely disappointed in the Kuomintang

Resolutely quit the Kuomintang

He was assigned to the Red China News Agency

Specializing in foreign telecommunications

He served as a telegraph translator in German, Japanese, French and English

Comprehensive, sorted out, and provided to the central leadership for reference

Mao Zedong often stayed between 11 p.m. and 12 p.m

Come here on time to Liao Chengzhi

Get the latest news abroad for the day

And sit with him for an hour or two

Talk about things at work and in life

For this

Young people who are called "party babies" by themselves

Mao Zedong was very fond of it

But the most important thing is still

Liao Chengzhi's characteristic optimism

Chairman Mao ordered the preparation of the Eighth Route Army's office in Hong Kong

January 1937

After the Party Central Committee moved from security to Yan'an

The head of the Eighth Route Army office was previously dispatched

They are all heavyweights in the CCP and in the military

Such as Ye Jianying, Chen Yun, Lin Boqu

Xie Jueya, Li Kenong

Just when everyone thinks that the hong Kong office is the candidate

This standard will also be followed

Mao Zedong made an unexpected decision

He nodded at Liao Chengzhi

He served as the director of the Eighth Route Army Office in Hong Kong

Liao Chengzhi is only 29 years old in age

But it has been nearly 10 years of the CCP

and a wealth of experience in the party

The reason why Mao Zedong took a fancy to Liao Chengzhi

There is a deeper reason

That's his deep family background

After all, Hong Kong is different from the mainland

If Liao Chengzhi encounters difficulties in working in Hong Kong

When it is not convenient to contact the organization

With the family prestige of Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning

Liao Chengzhi can also resolve the difficulties one by one
