The red agents of the CCP's intelligence protection system in the wartime period have been excavating a lot today, but in fact, in terms of personnel and merits, they are still the tip of the iceberg. During the war, the intelligence relationships established overseas are still secretive today. These red agents are buried in the archives of history, paraphrasing the famous saying of Xishan Square: Your names are unknown, and your exploits are also alive in the world.
In the 1940s, the Kuomintang Military Command (Secrecy Bureau) set up an intelligence station in Thailand, which was also infiltrated by the CCP's "red agents".
Sun Peiwen, formerly known as Liang Bingshu. Lin Yusheng, Lin Anzhi and so on were used in covert work. His ancestral home is Xikuowei, Taishan County, Guangdong Province. Born in 1923 in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand (Siam).
In 1943, Sun Peiwen graduated from high school and entered the Thai Yisancang Business School, a French Catholic school that has been in operation for about 60 years. The school is divided into 4 years of primary school, 6 years of middle school, 3 years of business classes, and later 2 years of college preparatory classes. There are two types of English and French, Sun Peiwen chooses to read English, except for history and Chinese, the rest of the subjects are taught in English textbooks. During his time at the school, Sun Peiwen enrolled in the school's military training (communication soldiers). According to Thai law, all overseas Chinese young people born in Thailand who have reached the age of 20 are required to serve in the military for 3 years; as long as they have undergone military training, they can replace military service. After 3 years of training, he became a 3rd class military trainee. This military training career was of great benefit to his future work on the hidden front (intelligence, united front, defense, etc.).

In February 1946, Sun Peiwen officially became a member of the hidden front under the leadership of the Thai Overseas Chinese Party of the Communist Party of China. Since then, he has become a formal "Red Agent".
Sun Peiwen was led by two people to embark on the red road: one was his eldest brother Lu Xun, and the other was Qiu Ji, the head of the Thai Overseas Chinese Party of the Communist Party of China.
Lu Xun, whose original name was Liang Bingcai, was introduced by Ye Jianying to the Canadian Communists in his early years and infiltrated into the military command organization, major intelligence officer. After The surrender of Japan, Lu Xun was sent to the Military Command Thailand Station, ostensibly as a "senior member" of the Military Command Station in Thailand, but his hidden true identity was that he was one of the leaders of the Thai Overseas Chinese Party of the Chinese Communist Party. For his younger brother Sun Peiwen, who has a sense of justice and patriotism, he taught him by example and instilled revolutionary ideas in his brother through bits and pieces: introducing the history and culture of the motherland and how the motherland can achieve independence, freedom, prosperity and strength. Then assign some tasks to his brother to do, so as to test and train his brother. When Sun Peiwen was in middle school, he secretly printed propaganda materials for his eldest brother and others, and sent them to the interior of Shanba for revolutionary propaganda. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, 14-year-old Sun Peiwen was instructed by his eldest brother Lu Xun to secretly collect donations and raise funds from the workers of the Nailu Shipyard, and sent them to Liao Chengzhi of the Eighth Office of Hong Kong to transfer to the Eighth Route Army to support the motherland's military and people in resisting Japan and save their lives, and was encouraged by a letter from the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

It propagated the anti-Japanese struggle and spread the situation of the world anti-fascist struggle, especially the anti-Japanese struggle in China, and had a great influence on Thai-Chinese society.
Sun Peiwen himself was a loyal reader of the newspaper, and he naturally became the secret contact between the eldest brother Lu Xun and Qiu He, passing messages between them, and acting as a guard when the eldest brother Lu Xun met with Qiu He to ensure safety. At the same time, through the relationship of the eldest brother, Sun Peiwen also entered the Military Command Thailand Organization, became a confidential officer of Chen Yingqun, the station chief of the Military Command station in Thailand, and controlled a secret radio station.

People (even relatives and friends) only know that he is a business owner in public, but they do not know that he is a "military command agent", let alone that he is a RED agent of the CCP.
At 10:00 p.m. in 1947, after Sun Peiwen discovered in Bangkok that the Thai police were going to round up the hidden personnel of the Thai Overseas Chinese Party at 5 a.m., he tried to notify Qiu Ji, the head of the Overseas Chinese Party, before 12:00 p.m., so that several hidden personnel could quickly move to Vietnam in the fastest time to avoid being killed.
