Chairman Mao commented on Li Kenong: "If it weren't for him, Zhou Enlai would not have existed long ago." During a meeting with foreign guests, Mao Zedong once said humorously: "Li Kenong is a big secret agent of China, but he is only a secret agent of the Communist Party."
Li Kenong was diligent and earnest, worked hard and endured no grievances, gave full play to his unique talents in the posts assigned by the party and the people, and provided decision-making information to the central authorities at an urgent juncture, thus establishing great achievements for China's revolution and construction.

Li Kenong was born on September 15, 1899 in Chao County, Anhui Province, to a family of clerks. When Li Kenong was a teenager, he studied at Wuhu Shengya Church Middle School, the birthplace of the Xinhai Revolution in Anhui Province, and was educated and educated by progressive ideas. In the winter of 1926, he joined the Communist Party of China, and according to the needs of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he served as the director of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Wuhu County Party Department and cooperated with the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army.
Li Kenong in his youth
After the "4.12" counter-revolutionary massacre, the Wuhu area was also plunged into a white terror. In the spring of 1928, Li Kenong fled his hometown to shanghai, got in touch with the party organization, and served as a propaganda committee member of the Shanghai Central District Committee of the Communist Party of China. In November 1929, Li Kenong met his old friend Hu Di in the studio of a film company in Shanghai. Hu Di was also wanted after the defeat of the Great Revolution, and secretly came to Shanghai with Qian Zhuangfei, and in 1928 he became an actor at the Shanghai Film Company.
Li Kenong met Qian Zhuangfei through Hu Di, and Qian briefed Li Kenong on the fact that the Kuomintang was recruiting troops to expand the secret service organization, and hoped that the organization would use their opportunity to recruit radio news editors to beat up the Shanghai Radio Administration. Li Kenong quickly reported this situation to the CPC Central Committee through the Cpc Central Committee. The Central Special Committee attached great importance to this and immediately held a meeting to study it. Zhou Enlai believed that for the Kuomintang secret service organization, we should "take it over" and use it for my own use.
In accordance with the instructions of the central authorities, Li Kenong made meticulous preparations in a very short period of time in the near future, and took the shanghai radio administration with the first place result under a pseudonym. After careful inspection by the enemy, he was appointed as the radio news editor of the bureau. Li Kenong was brilliant, quick-witted, and fluent in writing, and Xu Enzeng, the head of the Kuomintang secret service, greatly appreciated all the investigation materials he had sorted out. In order to enable Li Kenong to gain the trust of the Kuomintang secret service, the CCP organization forwarded some expired documents to Li Kenong, and Li Kenong sent them to Nanjing in the name of "seizing communist documents." Xu En, who had read these materials, even claimed to praise Li Kenong: "You really have a way." After a period of overt inspection and secret visits, Xu En was glad that he had found a cadre. This Li Kenong often found some false information or documents that had become obsolete and lost value and handed them to Xu Enzeng, so he became more and more trusted by Xu Enzeng and others, and seemed to have become Xu Enzeng's close associates. Soon after, he was promoted to the head of the electric power unit, and although his official position was not large, his actual power was not small, and he had the great power to evaluate and register the national radio operators, and was an excellent position for obtaining intelligence.
After Li Kenong gained a firm foothold in the Shanghai Radio Administration, the "Central Special Committee" was well aware of the importance of Li Kenong's position as a special group, and Zhou Enlai warned them: "It is not easy for us to obtain this position, and we must hold it as much as possible, and we must not expose it until we have no choice but to do so." The Central Special Committee was also extremely concerned about Li Kenong's safety, and almost every day sent comrades to his residence to observe. Whenever Li Kenong left home, he always put items such as flower pots by the window to show safety.
Longtan Sanjie
Soon, Hu Di also took the opportunity to infiltrate the Kuomintang, and according to Qian Zhuangfei's arrangement, he was sent to Tianjin to participate in the establishment of the Kuomintang intelligence agency in the north, and the sign was "Great Wall News Agency." With the approval of the organization, Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di formed a CPC special group, with Li Kenong as the leader of the group, and Chen Geng, head of the intelligence section assigned by the Central Special Section, to be responsible for contacting them. Since then, li kenong, Qian Zhuangfei, and Hu Di, the "three masters of Longtan," have worked together with one heart and cooperated with each other to launch a special battle in the heart of the enemy and make great contributions to the secret work of the CPC.
