More than a hundred years ago, due to the closed-door policy of the Qing Dynasty government, the vast land of China was completely derailed from the world and fell from the heavenly altar. When the Western powers opened the door of our country with cannons, many Chinese people woke up. But it was already too late. The corrupt Qing government signed many unequal treaties. From then on, the great powers acted recklessly in China, and the people lived in dire straits. In order to save the nation from danger, many awakened people with lofty ideals They devoted themselves to the revolution regardless of their own safety, and for the rise of New China, they used their blood and tears to create immortal monuments.

Continue to strive for self-improvement and use knowledge to awaken the patriotism of the Chinese people

In the 1930s, a film called "Cross Street" became popular in the streets and alleys of Shanghai, and the episode "In Spring" in the film became a household name. , almost everyone sang, "Spring comes with the fragrance of flowers, Lang Li Ge Lang Li Ge Lang Li Ge Lang, the warm sun shines in the sky, shining on my shabby clothes, Lang Li Ge Lang Lang Li Ge Lang, across the street Walking through alleys, coming here for food and clothing.” The lyrics in the song are all about yearning for a better life. And the person who created this song happened to be Guan Lu, our intelligence officer who broke into the Japanese and puppet troops.

Guan Lu, whose original name was Hu Shoumei, was born in Youyu County, Shanxi Province in 1907. Her father was a member of the Qing Dynasty and served as a county magistrate. It can be said that Guan Lu was born as a young lady with no worries about food and clothing. When Guan Lu was born, His father, Hu Ye, did not have any preference for boys over girls. In Hu Ye's view, women could also shine on the lintel of the family, so he named Guan Lu Hu Shoumei. Later, his mother gave birth to a sister for Guan Lu, named Hu Shouhua, and later changed her name. For Hu Xiufeng.

At that time, Guan Lu's family of four was happy and harmonious. Her mother was well-educated and very attentive to the education of the two sisters. She taught the two sisters from an early age not to be arrogant and domineering because their father was the magistrate. Instead, she often taught the two sisters to be independent and self-reliant. There should be no reliance on anything. Although Guan Lu was still ignorant at the time and did not understand what independence and self-reliance meant, and their mother did not expect them to understand these principles immediately, but planted a seed in their hearts. That’s all.

But the happy childhood time passed quickly. Guan Lu's father Hu Ye died of illness when Guan Lu was nine years old. The family's backbone was no longer there, and the financial resources were cut off. For the sake of the two sisters, her mother had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family. Going out early and coming back late every day, watching her mother working hard for life at a young age, Guan Lu also began to understand what her mother meant when she warned her to be independent and self-reliant when she was a child.

Guan Lu

But fate seemed unwilling to let go of this miserable family. When Guan Lu was 15 years old, her mother also died due to overwork, leaving only the two sisters dependent on each other. When Guan Lu had no relatives, their The aunt took them away, and her aunt's appearance seemed to bring a ray of sunshine to the miserable Guan Lu. But not long after, looking at Guan Lu's slim appearance, their aunt began to find a marriage partner for Guan Lu, because at that time In that era, generally speaking, marriage was ordered by the parents and the matchmaker said it. Guan Lu's parents were not here, so their marriage was naturally decided by her aunt.

Therefore, in order to help Guan Lu find a good family, Guan Lu's aunt took great pains and frequently introduced wealthy families to Guan Lu. However, Guan Lu had been educated by her mother since she was a child, and she also had her own ideas about marriage. Guan Lu is very disgusted with the old blind date and marriage, but Guan Lu also understands her aunt's good intentions for her. In order to find a good family for herself, she works all day long, but Guan Lu doesn't want to In order not to make things difficult for her aunt, she decided to take her sister and escape from here.

On the way to escape from marriage, the two sisters ran all the way. The world is huge, but they didn't know where to go. Fortunately, they met the person who could change their lives, Liu Daoheng.

Liu Daoheng, originally from Hengyang County, Hunan Province, in order to resist the corrupt Qing government at that time, he joined the Chinese Tongmenghui and participated in the 1911 Revolution and the Second Revolution. In 1932, he successfully joined our party and worked for our party. After ten years of hard work, he established a foothold on the hidden front in Hunan, dealing with the enemy invisible swords and shadows, which made our party under his leadership in an extremely difficult environment when other hidden fronts were dug out by the enemy. The "Central Special Branch Changsha Group" has never suffered any loss or damage. Even Li Kenong was full of praise for Liu Daoheng's talent, calling him one of the only remaining fruits of our party's intelligence work in the white area.

Liu Daoheng and Li Kenong

One day, when the two sisters Guan Lu ran away from their aunt's house, they were aimless and didn't know where to go. They only knew that the farther away from their aunt, the better. On the way, they met Liu Daoheng. After spending some time together, Liu Daoheng It was discovered that Guan Lu and Guan Lu had great potential to become members of our party, so they planned to train Guan Lu's sisters. When they learned that the two Guan Lu sisters fled to resist the marriage system of feudal society, they became even more determined. The minds of two sisters must be cultivated.

So when Liu Daoheng asked the two sisters about their next plans, the two sisters did not know where to go at this time. There was war everywhere and there was no safe place anywhere. When Liu Daoheng said that he wanted to fund their schooling The two sisters agreed without thinking about it, because they didn’t know where to go. So under Liu Daoheng’s arrangement, the two sisters were sent to Shanghai Law University to study, and later transferred to Nanjing Central University to study literature. Department for further study.

During this period, Guan Lu made many friends, refreshed her worldview, and became clearer about her beliefs. After the September 18th Incident in 1931, in the face of the brutal aggression of the Japanese army, Guan Lu, who was full of passion, Lu used the pen in her hand to describe the brutality of the Japanese army, which aroused the patriotism of countless young people. This also made Guan Lu famous. Together with Ding Ling, Zhang Ailing and others, she was known as the three most talented women in Shanghai.

In order to awaken more people to resist Japan's aggression, Guan Lu was out of control. As a cultural person, she traveled around the country and wrote articles about resisting Japan and saving the country with her patriotic passion. Language and writing inspired countless patriotic young people to dream of saving the country. In 1932, Guan Lu gloriously became a member of our party.

In 1937, the Japanese army completely tore off their disguise and launched a full-scale invasion of China. In November, Shanghai fell. When Shanghai fell, Guan Lu once wrote a poem, "I would rather die fighting for the motherland than be a survivor of the nation." , this The words greatly inspired countless patriotic young people. In order to resist the Japanese invasion, they bravely took the lead and sacrificed their lives for the country.

For the sake of victory, they endured humiliation and infamy, and a generation of patriotic talented women became traitors that everyone hated.

In the late autumn of 1939, under the iron hoofs of the Japanese army, China lost a large area of ​​land. In order to awaken more Chinese people, Guan Lu When she was revising her autobiographical novel "Old and New Times" at home, a loud knock on the door suddenly broke Guan Lu's thoughts and the trajectory of her life.

It turned out that the mission had arrived. As soon as the door opened, Liu Shaowen, the head of our party's intelligence work in Shanghai, appeared at Guan Lu's door. In his hand was the mission document that Ye Jianying handed over to Guan Lu. There was only one sentence in this secret message. , "Comrade Guan Lu, go to Hong Kong quickly to find Xiao Liao to accept the task." Guan Lu originally thought that the party was going to transfer her to Hong Kong to engage in cultural work, so as soon as she received the task, she packed her luggage overnight and hurried to Hong Kong. On the second day after arriving in Hong Kong, Liao Chengzhi led Pan Hannian to Guan Lu's collapsed hotel.

Liao Chengzhi, formerly known as He Liuhua, was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1908. His ancestral home is Huiyang County, Guangdong Province. He is now a native of Chenjiang, Huicheng District. Since he joined the revolutionary cause, he has been working hard for New China without any regrets. He is One of the outstanding party members and cadres of our party and an outstanding social activist. He was engaged in cultural salvation work in Hong Kong in the early days. He was also one of the leaders of our party's underground work in Hong Kong.

Liao Chengzhi

Originally Guan Lu thought that the organization transferred her to Hong Kong to work with Liao Chengzhi to preside over cultural salvation work, but what Pan Hannian said next deeply frightened her, that is, he wanted Guan Lu to give up everything. Reputation, penetrated into the heart of Wang Puppet No. 76, and looked for opportunities to instigate rebellion against Li Shiqun. This was a task to taint one's identity, which really shocked Guan Lu. Moreover, she had not received any training in underground work, and had never had any experience. The experience of working underground made Guan Lu very resistant at first.

At the beginning of Pan Hannian's life, it was not Guan Lu who was thinking of her, but her sister Hu Xiufeng, because in the early days, Li Shiqun was still a member of our party, but this person later betrayed our party after being captured by the reactionaries, and He joined the reactionary camp and became a general under Wang Jingwei . During his arrest, Li Shiqun's wife happened to be in childbirth. Because of Li Shiqun's arrest, his wife's life was very difficult. At this time, Guan Lu's sister extended a helping hand, allowing Li Shiqun's wife to overcome the difficulty, and Li Shiqun always remembered Hu Xiufeng's kindness.

In 1937, when the Japanese army began to invade China, he and Wang Jingwei defected to Japan and took charge of all the rights of No. 76, the Wang Puppet Secret Service Headquarters in Shanghai. Although Li Shiqun joined the Wang Puppet Government, he always remembered Hu Xiufeng's kindness, so if If Hu Xiufeng took the initiative, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Unfortunately, because Hu Xiufeng had other tasks at the time, she had no choice but to recommend her sister to the organization.

Inciting rebellion against Li Shiqun was a very difficult task, and the only ones who could gain Li Shiqun's trust at that time were Hu Xiufeng and her sister Guan Lu. Guan Lu also understood this truth, but letting her slander her identity and join the Wang puppet made her She couldn't accept it for a while. When she calmed down, after Pan Hannian told the pros and cons of instigating Li Shiqun in the war of resistance, Guan Lu finally agreed to break into the enemy's heart.

Guan Lu understands that once she takes this step, she will face various misunderstandings in the rest of her life and the danger of losing her life. However, in order to win the revolution and drive the Japanese invaders out of China as soon as possible, it is necessary Sacrifice is necessary. Guan Lu's eyes became firm after she wanted to understand this. No matter how many misunderstandings she had to endure and her reputation was lost, she would instigate Li Shiqun and win him into the anti-war team.

Li Shiqun

In this way, Guan Lu, who had just arrived in Hong Kong within two days, hurriedly embarked on the journey to Shanghai. When Li Shiqun learned that Guan Lu was going to visit him, he was naturally very happy and even sent his men to drive his own special car. Guan Lu was picked up at the airport, and Li Shiqun's wife was even more delighted with the arrival of her benefactor sister. She quickly ordered people to clean the room to welcome Guan Lu's arrival. In this way, Guan Lu openly stepped into No. 76, which was feared by everyone at the time. The mission is going well, and she plans to start with Li Shiqun's wife Ye Jiqing.

Li Shiqun and Ye Jiqing

When they learned that Ye Jiqing loved playing cards, Guan Lu played with her. Even if she couldn't play, Guan Lu would learn. Therefore, people often saw that a generation of talented women had fallen, and she and Ye Jiqing were paired up. Shopping, playing cards, and going in and out of No. 76 were just like home, looking like a traitor. Soon the news spread to Guan Lu's former friends. At first, the friends didn't believe it, remembering that Guan Lu once said "I'd rather be a traitor." You will die fighting for the motherland, but not for the survivors of the nation." What a sonorous and powerful statement! And how could someone who can say these words be willing to act as a traitor?

Until one day, Guan Lu and Ye Jiqing walked out of a store together. It happened that this scene was seen by Guan Lu's good friend Lan Lan. A shocking and incredible scene flashed on her face, and Lan Lan's eyes came back to her senses. After looking at Guan Lu with contempt and hatred for a while, she left with disappointment in her eyes without even saying hello. From that day on, her friends also believed that Guan Lu was once so proud and proud. Fallen.

Although Guan Lu was well prepared, when the day came, Guan Lu did not expect to be so uncomfortable. The looks of her friends with confusion and hatred deeply hurt her heart, and these She couldn't tell anyone and could only bear it silently, because the mission was above all else.

In this way, Guan Lu suffered infamy every day and continued to work with Ye Jiqing. Gradually, she also gained Li Shiqun's trust. During her long-term contact with Li Shiqun, Guan Lu also found that Li Shiqun was a very opportunistic person. He would always prepare an escape route when things happened, so Guan Lu felt that she still had great hope of instigating rebellion against Li Shiqun. Therefore, when she reported her views to the organization, the organization also affirmed Guan Lu's ideas and continued to gain Li Shiqun's trust.

In 1941, when Japan was deep in the quagmire of the China War, the Pacific War broke out, and the Japanese army, which was fighting on multiple fronts, began to be overwhelmed. This made Li Shiqun very unoptimistic about the future of the Japanese army, and he became confused and panicked about the future. , so Li Shiqun decided to start preparing a retreat for himself. Seeing that the time was ripe, Guan Lu came to Li Shiqun's home, revealed his identity to Li Shiqun and analyzed the current situation. If he continued to follow Japan, he was destined to perish. Li Shiqun also knew full well that These, but where to go? Now that Guan Lu has made her position clear, Li Shiqun, who is good at opportunism and has been working for the Japanese invaders, is not angry at all. Instead, he seems to have grasped a life-saving straw.

When Guan Lu revealed to Li Shiqun that her old friend wanted to see him, Li Shiqun was even more excited because he understood who the old friend Guan Lu was talking about was someone who had been in our party after all, so he was excited. Agreeing to meet, Li Shiqun soon met under the arrangement of Guan Lu. Li Shiqun, who was bent on seeking a new retreat, was also successfully incited to rebel during this meeting. From then on, he provided our army with a large amount of Japanese troops' instructions for the clearing of the Su-Shanghai area. Intelligence effectively avoided losses during the Japanese raids.

Lurking again, fighting for victory

When the task was completed, Guan Lu thought she could continue to engage in the cultural work she loved. She was in a good mood and wanted to return to the embrace of the organization, so she wrote a letter to her sister wanting to go home. , letters back to her parents, and the father and mother in Guan Lu's mouth are our revolutionary holy land Yan'an and various liberated areas. However, after several days of waiting, Guan Lu was immersed in her originally good mood because of her sister's letter.

In the letter, my sister Hu Xiufeng returned to Guan Lu, saying that my father and mother did not allow you to go home for the time being, and took the opportunity to enter the Japanese army's "Girls' Voice" magazine. This magazine was used by Japan to cover up their crimes during the war. The purpose of this newspaper is to confuse the Chinese people, claiming that the war they launched is a holy war, and its purpose is to rescue the poor Chinese people. However, Japan's wolf ambitions are well known to everyone, so their effect is very fruitful. Micro, and the person in charge of this newspaper was Toshiko Sato, a famous Japanese writer at the time.

Guan Lu

The purpose of the organization to let Guan Lu break into this newspaper was to be able to contact Japanese leftists through Sato Toshiko's relationship, and to find international communist friends, so as to provide our party and our army with more powerful intelligence. It happened that Sato Junzi's Chinese was very poor and he urgently needed translation from a Chinese editor. This was also Guan Lu's strength. In this way, Guan Lu continued to lurk.

During the time of "Girls' Voice" magazine, Japan saw little effect, so they decided to adopt a tolerant policy. As long as they were not anti-Japanese propaganda articles or articles about red, the rest could be published. As the Chinese editor, Guan Lu took advantage of this loophole of the Japanese army to publicize articles against feudal superstition, the marriage system of the old society, etc., turning the newspaper that originally promoted jihad for Japan into a tool to awaken the Chinese people.

In July 1943, the Japanese army, which was losing ground on the battlefield, attempted to make a big fuss in the cultural field, so it planned to hold the "Second Greater East Asia Literature Conference" in Tokyo. Sato Zijun saw Guan Lu's talent, so Guan Lu was invited to attend the "Second Greater East Asia Literature Conference" held in Tokyo, Japan. Guan Lu knew that once this trip was published in the newspapers, her future as a "cultural traitor" would be confirmed, and her former friends would despise her even more. She would feel even more uncomfortable, so she did not accept Sato Zijun's invitation immediately, but said she would think about it.

That night, Guan Lu reported the matter to the organization. Pan Hannian felt that during this trip to Tokyo, he could get in touch with the famous Japanese Professor Akita. This Professor Akita also had another identity, a Japanese left-winger and an internationally renowned friend of the Communists. Therefore, After receiving the news, Pan Hannian immediately wrote a letter and told Guan Lu that he must agree to Sato Zijun's trip to Tokyo and hand the letter into the hands of Professor Akita.

After hearing Pan Hannian's words, Guan Lu did not hesitate too much. In order to end the war as soon as possible and win over many left-wing elements in Japan, Guan Lu agreed. Even if Tokyo is a dragon's den and even if her identity can never be cleared, as long as the motherland needs it, She had no complaints, so she didn't think too much. A few days later, Guan Lu found Sato Zijun and agreed to attend the "Second Greater East Asia Literature Conference" held in Tokyo, Japan. Soon, under the arrangement of Sato Zijun, Guan Lu successfully flew to Tokyo to attend the "Second Greater East Asian Literature Conference" . During this period, Guan Lu visited Professor Akita in the name of a visit and handed Pan Hannian's letter to Akita. hands.

Due to Guan Lu's outstanding performance, she quickly became famous in Tokyo and made headlines. However, Guan Lu didn't know anything about all this. At this time, she had already boarded the plane back to China. She originally thought that the mission was completed. , she could have a good sleep, so as soon as she returned to Shanghai, Guan Lu fell asleep. Therefore, this trip brought too much physical and mental torture to her, but the development of things was beyond Guan Lu's expectation. She did not expect that she The meeting was reported so quickly.

When Guan Lu woke up the next day, her incident in Tokyo had already become known to everyone. When Guan Lu saw the news in the newspaper, one of the big headlines deeply hurt her heart , " Guan Lu was a completely different person, and her rebellion was not motivated by inducement or threat, but by her own self-destruction, selling her soul, and abandoning her country."

From then on, Guan Lu knew that she could not clean herself up no matter what. Others did not understand that everything she did was just for the mission, so she could only bear all the misunderstandings silently and resist everything alone, in order to win. , for the sake of the country that gave birth to her and raised her, she moved forward without any regrets or regrets.

National interests outweigh everything else. For the sake of the country, he is willing to give up his own emotions.

Perhaps in the darkest time, the only thing that can bring Guan Lu a ray of sunshine and support her persistence is her distant lover Wang Bingnan! Getting to know and fall in love with Wang Bingnan was perhaps the happiest time in her life.

Wang Bingnan, born in 1908, is a native of Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province. He is the same age as Guan Lu. In 1937, during Japan's massive invasion of China, two passionate young people rushed to save the nation from peril. We have known each other for many years, and people with common beliefs can easily come together. However, in special times, there is no such thing as everlasting life. The two of them have been separated from each other since they knew each other and fell in love. Only letters can explain the relationship between the two. The pain of lovesickness.

Wang Bingnan

Wang Bingnan is Premier Zhou's secretary. He follows Premier Zhou all day long and is busy with diplomatic work. Therefore, he can understand the distress in Guan Lu's heart. However, he suffers from the fact that in the revolutionary era, the two people had different divisions of labor. Watching Guan Lu endure the unforgivable It is a well-known misunderstanding that Wang Bingnan felt very sorry for Guan Lu, so he often sent letters to Guan Lu. In the letters, he even confessed that Guan Lu cared about her for a while, but he would protect Guan Lu for the rest of his life.

In August 1945, the difficult days of the Anti-Japanese War finally passed. Japan announced its unconditional surrender and we won. However, Guan Lu was also placed on the list of anti-traitors by the reactionaries because of her reputation as a "cultural traitor". For Guan Lu's safety, Guan Lu was specially taken back to the Huaiyin base in northern Jiangsu. Guan Lu originally thought that she could finally see the moonlight when the clouds opened. When she returned to the base, she felt very happy because she could finally see the lover she had longed for. , she was full of expectations for this.

However, due to the high reputation of Guan Lu from the outside world, Guan Lu was isolated and censored after arriving at the base area. The reactionaries also made a big fuss about this, openly claiming that our army and our party had harbored "traitors". Due to pressure and coercion, Guan Lu had no choice but to be detained. Guan Lu, who had been in a high state of mental stress, began to have mental abnormalities. She often talked nonsense alone. When Wang Bingnan learned the news, he felt very sorry for Guan Lu.

So Wang Bingnan made a very bold decision to marry Gao Lu. When he expressed his intention to marry Guan Lu to Premier Zhou, Premier Zhou, who had always been calm, felt that it was very inappropriate to get married at this time because of this. At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were negotiating, and they made a big fuss about Guan Lu in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the negotiation process. Therefore, for the sake of the party's reputation and reputation, Wang Bingnan and Guan Lu decided not to get married. Everything must be done from the party's perspective. and the interests of the people.

In the end, Wang Bingnan was convinced by Premier Zhou. For today’s victory, we sacrificed too much. Countless martyrs died heroically without waiting for this day. We saw that the numbers of sacrifices were not just Numbers, which even contained vivid lives, so Wang Bingnan, who had thought for a long time, had to give up this relationship and wrote to Guan Lu frankly about the reasons for the breakup. Guan Lu also understood that asking Wang Bingnan to give up this relationship would be very harmful to both of them. They are both very cruel, but for the sake of the country, they must break up.

Just like this, for the sake of the country, Guan Lu ruined her reputation and surrendered, thinking that she could successfully infiltrate the enemy. Now she gave up her love for the sake of the country.

Dedicated himself to the revolutionary cause without any regrets

Guan Lu had two major hobbies in his life, one was writing and the other was fond of children. However, he and Wang Bingnan never had a child of their own. Perhaps it was his early underground work career that made him Bearing too much psychological pressure, facing various misunderstandings from friends and other factors, and the absence of the only ray of sunshine, Guan Lu's mental problems began to worsen, but it was difficult to go to the hospital for a check-up. Nothing could be found during the examination. When her close friend learned about her condition, he saw that Guan Lu liked children, so he bought him a big plastic doll in an attempt to fill the emptiness in Guan Lu's heart.

Guan Lu, whose physical condition was getting worse and worse, still did not forget to write a memoir for Pan Hannian in her later years. Until she finished writing, she may have felt that she was finally free from worries. New China had been established and its national power was booming. Therefore, in December 1982 On March 5, 75-year-old Guan Lu ended her miserable life by herself.

Conclusion

Throughout Guan Lu’s life, the ups and downs of her life did not destroy the faith in her heart. She always held firm to her faith, was loyal to the party, and was loyal to the people. Guan Lu was just a microcosm of the rise of New China, and there were too many more. For the rise of China, the unknown unknown martyrs gave up everything, dedicated themselves to the motherland, and irrigated every inch of the motherland with their own blood.
