A spy lurking around Bai Chongxi.

In recent years, spy war dramas have been very popular. In fact, the real spy war may be more exciting. Both countries sent agents to lurk in each other's camp to get information. Xie Hegeng is the underground party member of China's * * * production party. He lurks around Bai Chongxi and is trusted. His life is far more exciting than TV series, and he belongs to the kind that cannot be broadcast. ...

Xie Hegeng was born in Guilin, Guangxi in 19 12. 1March, 933, when he was a university student in Beiping, he was introduced by party member and Xuanxiafu and secretly joined the * * * production party.

Two months later, the Chahar Anti-Japanese Coalition was established, and Xie Hegeng was appointed as the secretary of Ji Hongchang, the leader of the Coalition, and concurrently served as a faculty member of the General Command. Since then, Xie Hegeng followed Ji Hongchang around the north and south. In less than half a year, the anti-Japanese Coalition forces failed in September because of their weak strength.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to change his strategy and use the factional contradictions within the Kuomintang from the periphery to achieve the goal of "forcing Chiang to resist Japan" with his strength. Guangxi, as a powerful faction in the local factions of the Kuomintang, is the focus of United front work. Therefore, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Xie Hegeng back to his hometown in Guangxi, and used his family power to infiltrate into the upper ranks of warlords in Guangxi.

Xie Hegeng family is very influential in Guilin, Guangxi, and is a famous local gentry. His second brother Xie Tiemin is also an influential figure and one of the leaders of the student movement during the May 4th Movement.

Before going south, * * * BeiFangJu explained the working principle to Xie Hegeng:

First, after gaining a firm foothold, investigate and study the military and political situation in the upper echelons of Guangxi.

Second, try to get close to Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other senior officials.

Third, carry out propaganda and agitation work in secret.

Fourth, every one or two months, write to the hotel manager in Ji Hongchang, Tianjin, and say a few irrelevant words in life, code-named "Bayi", with no real name. The purpose of this is to keep in touch and report peace.

In addition, Xie Hegeng's work deployment is only one-way contact with Xuan Xiafu. Xuan Xiafu reports directly to Li Kenong, and Li Kenong reports directly to Zhou Enlai.

1934 1 mid-month, Xie Hegeng met Feng Yuxiang in Taishan with a letter of introduction from Ji Hongchang. Feng Yuxiang realized that Xie Hegeng was an old subordinate of Chahar Anti-Japanese Coalition (Feng Yuxiang was the main leader of Chahar Anti-Japanese Coalition). The purpose of coming to Xie Hegeng is to hope that Feng Yuxiang can write a letter of recommendation to introduce him to work in Li Zongren or Bai Chongxi.

Feng Yuxiang may have doubts about introducing the other party directly considering that he is not so close to Guangxi. Therefore, he wrote a letter of recommendation to party member Li, a senior official of the Kuomintang.

Because the Guangxi Department received Li's support and help during its rise, there is no doubt about Li's recommendation letter. Bai Chongxi asked Xie Hegeng to be his confidential secretary.

Beside Bai Chongxi, Xie Hegeng redoubled his efforts. He has no experience in leading troops to fight, and he doesn't understand the military, so he can't have more exchanges with Bai Chongxi militarily. Xie Hegeng decided to impress Bai Chongxi with his writing.

Bai Chongxi loves reading, so he must spend some time reading every day. Every week, Xie Hegeng will carefully select three or five books and put them on the bedside table in Bai Chongxi, winning the favor of Bai Chongxi.

Xie Hegeng wrote a book, Economic Overview of Semi-colonial China. After the manuscript was written, he insisted on publishing it in the name of co-author with Bai Chongxi's brother-in-law. Scholars have a good reputation, and Bai Chongxi certainly hopes that his family and relatives can write books, which is his pride. Xie Hegeng knew this well and made good use of it.

Xie Hegeng's dedication to the Bai Chongxi family also touched him. Once Bai Chongxi's father-in-law broke a bone in Guilin. Bai Chongxi was too busy to leave, so he sent Xie Hegeng to help. Xie Hegeng brought a famous doctor to Guilin, and Bai Chongxi's father-in-law received emergency treatment for a fracture. Afterwards, Bai Chongxi was very grateful, so he gave Xie Hegeng and 200 yuan a message. Xie Hegeng insisted on not accepting, Bai Chongxi insisted on giving, and finally had to accept 50 yuan to express his gratitude.

1On July 7, 937, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out and the Japanese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China.

According to the instructions of the CPC Central Committee, Xie Hegeng wrote a long letter to Bai Chongxi overnight. The main content of the letter is to form a broad anti-Japanese front in the whole country for the survival of the nation, putting national interests first, putting aside resentment.

During the Anti-Japanese War, with the reuse of Bai Chongxi by Chiang Kai-shek, Xie Hegeng's position became more and more important, and he became the secretary of the National Defense Conference. However, at this time, Xie Hegeng was not the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang was worried about taking such an important position, so it hoped that Xie Hegeng would write an application for joining the Kuomintang.

Xie Hegeng secretly reported this situation to the CPC Central Committee. Zhou Enlai instructed that under special circumstances, special consideration should be given, and Xie Hegeng could join the Kuomintang, so as not to arouse suspicion.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the application for joining the Party was not strictly examined, which made Xie Hegeng "take advantage of the loopholes". After completing the procedures for joining the Party, you should send the form to the Central Party Department for the record, which is the last step to complete joining the Party. Xie Hegeng didn't send it, but everyone took it for granted that Xie Hegeng was a national party member, and no one went to verify it. So Xie Hegeng didn't actually join the Kuomintang.

1942, with the consent of Zhou Enlai, Xie Hegeng went to the United States to study in the name of "sending overseas students" by the Kuomintang government. Go with another underground party member Wang Ying, and they get married on 1950.

In the United States, Xie Hegeng studied at the American Institute of World Affairs and the Graduate School of Philadelphia State University successively, and served as the acting editor-in-chief of new york New Newspaper, an overseas Chinese newspaper, engaged in information work. Wang Ying studied at Yale University and Duncan Dance School successively, during which she interacted with Pearl Buck and Smedley. Wang Ying also wrote a biography of Zhu De for Smedley.

1954 Xie Hegeng Wang Ying's identity was exposed, and he was arrested by the US Immigration Service. Upon learning of this situation, Zhou Enlai instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the United States through a third country to exchange them for American prisoners of war captured in the Korean War.

1955 1 month, Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying finally returned to China. Zhou Enlai met Mr. and Mrs. Wang Ying in Xie Hegeng and said to them, "You two have gloriously fulfilled the mission entrusted by the Party and made important contributions to the revolutionary cause."

In peacetime, Xie Hegeng stopped being a spy and became a senior editor of World Knowledge, while his wife Wang Ying was assigned to work in Beijing Film Studio.

1957, Xie Hegeng suggested protecting the historic archway, opening the houses of "big landlords and big bourgeoisie", and even suggested that Zhongnanhai be opened to the people ... As a result, it was labeled as a "rightist" and sent to Yunshan Livestock Farm, 850 Farm in the Great Northern Wilderness to repair the reservoir.

1966, more than a dozen young people wearing red armbands took Xie Hegeng away again, and the charge was still "Rightists". His wife Wang Ying was also arrested on the charge of "American spy".

1974, Wang Ying, who was less than 6 1 year old, died and was buried in a mass grave in Xiangshan. A year later, Xie Hegeng learned that his wife had died in prison. There is no name on the death notice, only a numerical code, which is the code of Wang Ying's labor reform.

Xie Hegeng couldn't accept this fact and suffered a stroke and fell to the ground on the spot. Since then, Xie Hegeng's thinking has become very dull, his speech is not very agile, and his hearing has greatly declined.

1975, under the personal questioning of Premier Zhou, he was released from prison and arranged to do some idle work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Xie Hegeng died in 2005 at the age of 93.
