The male protagonist of "Latent" is called Yu Zecheng, and in the CCP's underground intelligence organization, there are countless real 'lurking'. Among them, during the Third Civil Revolutionary War, one of the heads of the CCP intelligence organization in Beiping also had a 'Cheng' character in his name, and his name was Li Cheng.
Born in Tongxu County, Henan in 1921, Li Cheng joined the revolution in 1937 and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year.
In May 1937, Li Cheng arrived in Yan'an and was assigned to study at the 14th Team of the Second Phase of kang da (red army university). Two months later, Kang University graduated.
In July 1937, due to his young age, he continued to study at Shaanxi North Public School in the first phase of Shaanxi Gong 2 team.
In September 1937, Li Cheng joined the Communist Party of China at The Northern Shaanxi Public School.
In August 1938, Li Cheng was transferred to zaoyuan's special secret training class (Zaoyuan training class) of the Central Security Bureau, which was later renamed the Ministry of Social Affairs, which was the second training class, and the trainees at the same time included Lin Yi (Mrs. Teng Daiyuan, who was the secretary general of the Central Social Affairs Department during the Yan'an period, chief of the intelligence section of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters), Luo Qingchang, etc., which was a training course for senior intelligence personnel in the CCP system. After the training, the National War Youth Congress was held in Yan'an, and Li Cheng participated as a representative of Henan Province.
In October 1937, Li Cheng was sent to work in the Central Youth Committee, and successively served as an officer of the Academic Affairs Office, the secretary of the Party Branch of the Second Company, and the deputy chief of the Personnel Section in the Anwubao Youth Training Class.
In February 1939, he was transferred to the Second District Regiment of the Northwest Youth Field Work Group as the general secretary and secretary general of the party.
In January 1940, he returned from the Youth Committee to the Intelligence Protection System (Ministry of Social Affairs), where he worked with Lin Yi and Wang Yantang (Lian Xiang-brother-in-law, later deputy directors of the Central Investigation Department) in the Zaoyuan Office; worked with Xu Ming in the Notification Group; and worked with Liang Huazhi and Luo Qingchang in the Political Research Office.
In November 1942, in order to strengthen the former General Intelligence Work, Li Cheng was sent to the Dispatch Section of the Former General Intelligence Office as a staff officer. His job was to be responsible for liaison between the headquarters and the dispatched personnel in various places, and he conveyed the instructions of the headquarters to the intelligence personnel who had penetrated into the enemy's interior, and then brought back the information obtained by the intelligence personnel. He often traveled to and from intelligence stations and transportation stations in Beiping, Tianjin, Xingtai, Handan, Anyang, Kaifeng and other places.
This is an extremely important and dangerous position, and it is also a link between the lurker and the decision-maker. Li Cheng often returns to the headquarters to report on his work, and then has to leave again after staying for a few days. Once, I got off the train in the early morning, knocked on the door at the contact point, and had to turn back to the train station and snuggle up to the baked sweet potato stove until dawn. Once, while suffering from malaria, I couldn't bear to walk, so I had to lie under a big tree and wait until the fever subsided, and then continue to move forward. During the day, along the way, he was often blackmailed by the puppet army and inspected by the Japanese army; at night, he was too tired to fall into a dry well, injured his leg, and fell with permanent scars.
Relying on his willpower and spirit of faith, he overcame many dangers and obstacles, and on many occasions secretly brought instructions from his superiors and important documents of the CPC to the enemy-occupied areas, and also brought back to the base areas the movements and distribution maps of the army, police, constitution, and special forces in the enemy-occupied areas. Over the years, he has successfully completed the important tasks entrusted to him by the organization countless times. The important documents of the "Seventh Congress" meeting were personally handed over to Wang Jianping (Wang Yueshi, later deputy chief of staff of the Brigade Garrison District) who had infiltrated the enemy headquarters in Beiping; Yao Jiming's "Qianxiang" dried and fresh fruit shop, Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, and No. 20 of the 5 Articles at the Palace Gate were all liaison stations frequented by Li Cheng.
In June 1946, due to the exposure of Yao Jiming, the former head of the Beiping Intelligence Station, the headquarters ordered Li Cheng to take over Yao's work and enter Beiping. Shen Xiaocong entered Peiping with him, the real 'lurking'
Former intelligence worker of the General Intelligence Department of the Eighth Route Army, Shen Xiaocong
Shen Xiaocong was originally his father who evacuated Beiping in 1937, and stayed in the old capital with his mother Kang Li (Shen Bochun's ex-wife) and fourth sister Shen Xiaobai. In 1944, on the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when Kang Li had died, Li Cheng infiltrated Beiping and sold a house of the Shen family, the money was converted into gold and handed over to the then Underground Organization of the Communist Party of China in Beiping to redo the funds for the activities, and Li Cheng took Shen Xiaocong back to the Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the base area, matian, to be reunited with his father Shen Bochun. Since then, Shen Xiaocong has also entered the CCP's intelligence system to study and work. And in the future mission, the husband and wife relationship with Li Chengyu became a real couple.
In Beiping, Li Cheng's public identity was that of the deputy manager of the Beixinqiao Industrial and Commercial Bank, under the pseudonym Liu Changfu, but was actually the head of the Pingjin Regional Intelligence Group of the former General Intelligence Department of the Eighth Route Army. Shen Xiaocong's identity is Mrs. Liu.
Soon after they entered Peiping, Lin Yi, the chief of the dispatch section, arrived in Beiping and instructed: The storm is coming soon, the military investigation department cannot be transferred for half a day, it seems that the civil war still has to be fought, you have to make plans to hide here for a long time, make more friends, and hide. ”
On the second day of Lin Yi's instructions, they moved from their original place of residence to No. 5 Huazhi Hutong, the house of Zhang Honglie, a CHINESE propagandist, whose brother-in-law Liu Rulin and his wife took the little girl to live in this courtyard. The little cong couple moved here, ready to live in seclusion.
In February 1947, Li Cheng was arrested due to the betrayal of Wang Junqing, a relative of Yao Jiming, the former head of the intelligence group. At this time, Shen Xiaocong was pregnant, and she was a twin, and she was about to give birth. Shen Xiaocong kept in mind Li Cheng's usual instructions: "If the organization is destroyed, your first task is to notify the people you know to transfer immediately, and finally you will transfer again." She told Liu Rulin to leave quickly, and at the same time relayed the situation to the organization.
The Kuomintang secret service closely monitored the small courtyard. Due to Li Chengping's usual caution and Shen Xiaocong's timely notification of the organization, not a single relationship was exposed or arrested. Shen Xiaocong held up his big belly and circled between the enemies. After 18 days, the surveillance was withdrawn. Shen Xiaocong ran around to rescue Li Cheng, and as a result, he was born prematurely. Gave birth to a daughter and a man, the daughter is an older sister, called Xiaoping, the son is in the back, difficult to give birth, called Xiao An, very light and very small. More than a month later, the CCP organized people to rescue Shen Xiaocong and return to the base area. Xiao Cong could not take two children, Xiao An's health was very weak, and he was afraid of not being able to feed him, so he was sent to a nursery school and raised by Yao Jiming's wife, Li Yuying. It was not until 1953 that Mr. and Mrs. Li Cheng, who were working in Guangzhou at the time, picked up Li An.
Eight months later, Li Cheng was released from prison.
At this time, the child Li An suffered from pneumonia, whooping cough and meningitis, and was saved by the organization funding gold and admitted to the Central Hospital.
In the spring of 1948, Li Cheng returned to the base area, and the husband and wife were reunited. Later, he participated in the training class for cadres of Donghuangyuan and prepared to receive Beiping City.
In February 1949, after entering Beiping, he served as the director of the Second Foreign Branch of the Beiping Municipal Public Security Bureau.
After the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Li Cheng served as the director of the Political Protection Department of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, the deputy chief procurator of the Guangzhou Municipal Procuratorate, the secretary of the Party Committee of the Guangzhou Iron and Steel Factory, the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and a member of the Municipal Advisory Committee.
Shen Bochun is one of the leaders of the intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army system of the Communist Party of China
Li Cheng's father-in-law, Shen Bochun, was a seasoned CCP intelligence expert with eleven members of his family, including ten Lao Balu and a revolutionary martyr. Among them, in addition to the second son-in-law Cheng Yin is the director and the second son Shen Zhongyi is an engineer, the nine are all red agents, they are: Shen Bochun, wife Guo Xi (follow-up, the famous female Eighth Road of the 129th Division, combat staff), the eldest son Shen Zhongren, the second daughter Shen Shen, the second daughter-in-law Qi Xiangyan, the third daughter Shen Xiaocong, the third son-in-law Li Cheng, the fourth daughter Shen Xiaobai, and the fourth son-in-law Wang Yantang. In fact, the second son, Shen Zhongyi, was the technical person in charge of the reconstruction of the radio station during the Yan'an period, compiled in the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission, one of the founders of the CCP's radar business, and his wife Qi Xiangyan was also engaged in communications and reconnaissance. Broadly speaking, they are still intelligence workers (signal technology reconnaissance intelligence).
