Some people may be unfamiliar with the name Li Yun, but her red past always makes people unable to help but give a thumbs up:

Soong Ching Ling and Li Yun Ching Ling

What kind of amazing character are Li Yun? What unknown red hero stories are hidden in her body?

received the baptism of advanced revolutionary ideas since childhood

Li Yun was born in Haining, Zhejiang in 1915. Her family conditions were acceptable. At a young age, she followed her brothers and sisters to study in a private school. Li Yun herself is also smart and can learn everything, which is very popular with the teacher.

Li Yun

Under the influence of his eyes, Li Yun was exposed to many advanced revolutionary ideas, and also had his own unique insights on "save the nation and strengthen our China", and thus developed the great ideal of serving the motherland.

12 years old, Li Yun, who was young, completed an urgent task under the entrusted by his class teacher (actually an underground Communist Party member). It was precisely because of this task that Li Yun's extraordinary talent in growing into an excellent red agent.

On this day, Li Yun packed his schoolbag and was about to finish school, when he was suddenly called by the head teacher with a panic look on his face.

Li Yun

"The teacher has an urgent task to you. Can you promise the teacher to complete it and keep it absolutely confidential?" the class teacher of said sternly.

Li Yun scratched his head, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher!" After

, the head teacher handed Li Yun a letter, with nothing written on the envelope, just informing Li Yun that must deliver the letter to a Mr. Huang within half an hour, and it must not attract others' attention during this period, and it needs to be carried out in a very low-key manner.

This Mr. Huang is wearing a gray suit, black-framed glasses, holding the latest newspaper in his hand, and is sitting by the window of a cafe.

"Okay!" Li Yun took the letter from the teacher's hand, put the letter carefully into his schoolbag, and then left the school and trotted quickly towards the cafe six kilometers away.

About twenty-five minutes passed, and Li Yun finally arrived at the cafe with a strong breath. But what puzzled Li Yun was that in the window of the cafe, there were two gentlemen wearing gray suits, black-framed glasses, and holding the latest newspaper in their hands.

Then who is Mr. Huang who received the letter? Li Yun was in trouble for a while.

At this time, there were less than five minutes left before the teacher's instructions. Although Li Yun was very anxious, he did not lose his position because of this. She knew very well that the teacher had given her many instructions, which was enough to show the importance and concealment of this letter , so she did not dare to go forward and ask directly.

Li Yun

At this time, Li Yun slowly chose a position to sit down and began to carefully observe the two Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang on the left looked leisurely, and he was flipping through the newspaper intently, and only took a small sip of coffee in three minutes.

, but Mr. Huang on the right was completely opposite. His mind seemed not to be in the newspaper. As soon as the waiter added the coffee, he picked it up and drank it all. During this period, he looked at the pocket watch in his hand from time to time, and kept looking at the inside and outside the cafe with his light...

Through a short three-minute observation, Li Yun immediately identified that the person on the right was the real Mr. Huang, because the words and deeds of the Mr. Huang on the right were enough to show that he was anxious about whether he could receive the letter on time.

Seeing that the 30-minute prescribed time had come, Li Yun hurriedly went up to him, blocked his schoolbag, and quietly handed the letter to the real Mr. Huang, thus successfully completing the task assigned by the class teacher.

The next day, when Li Yun returned to school again, the head teacher had disappeared. Some people said he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives, some people said he resigned and found another job, , but Li Yun knew in his heart that this must have something to do with that letter.

Since then, Li Yun has become more active in studying advanced revolutionary ideas and soon becomes an excellent member of the Communist Youth League. In 1930, when Li Yun was 15 years old, he officially became a glorious member of the Communist Party of China under the recommendation of the party organization.

Later, because Li Yun showed mature calmness and extraordinary courage beyond his age in many secret tasks, she was successfully recommended by the organization to work in the Shanghai Central Special Branch, specializing in the secret transmission of internal information of our party.

times completed the important tasks of Central Special Section

"Strictly keep the party's secrets, firmly stand up for his position, and firmly obey the party's distribution..." After entering the Central Special Section, Li Yun always kept this purpose of action in mind.

1932, the Central Special Section arranged a very important task for Li Yun and her partner Xu Qiang, which was to go to Henan to instigate the battalion commander of the 80th Division of the Kuomintang Hui Dongsheng .

Li Yun and Xu Qiang

Hui Dongsheng is a man from Hebei. He once served as the first instructor of Whampoa Military Academy , and was also the life-saving benefactor of Chiang Kai-shek . However, this person did not join Chiang Kai-shek in conjunction with Chiang Kai-shek, but was devoted to the country and hated the corruption of the Kuomintang government.

Under Li Yun's influence, Hui Dongsheng quickly realized that the Communist Party of China was a truly excellent organization for the country and the people, so he did not hesitate to secretly reveal "the fourth plan to 'encircle' the Red Army'" to Li Yun.

intelligence was obtained, but in the face of the strict surveillance of the Kuomintang spies, how can we skillfully pass it back to Shanghai?

hui Dongsheng

At this time, Li Yun was only 17 years old, but she was not timid about completing this difficult task. She was quick to learn that she copied the "Fourth 'Encirclement and Suppression' Red Army Plan" on the inner page of a book, and then sent the information out through a quilt.

Afterwards, after obtaining the information, the organization immediately arranged for Red Army soldiers to prepare and transfer in advance, which avoided a large number of casualties. It has to be said that Li Yun's work was done very well this time.

At the same time, the Kuomintang government was not idle either. They soon found out the initiator of the "Fourth 'encirclement and suppression' Red Army Plan". Then, not only did Hui Dongsheng be executed on the spot, but also issued a wanted order throughout the city, stating that they would kill Li Yun and Xu Qiang.

In such a critical situation, Li Yun showed an unusual calmness. She first asked someone to inquire about the external situation, then disguised herself and Xu Qiang, then chose the right time to separate her and acted, and finally made an appointment to meet in Shanghai.

Before leaving, Li Yun and Xu Qiang reached a unified understanding, that is, they must strictly abide by the secrets of the party. If someone is unfortunately arrested, they will not betray the party.

Fortunately, after many twists and turns, both of them returned to Shanghai successfully.

After returning to Shanghai, Li Yun's leader considered that she was still young and planned to let her rest for two days, so he treated it as a way to digest the worry that she had experienced over the past few days, but was rejected by Li Yun.

Li Yun said with a strong voice: "Which special science personnel has not experienced swords, guns, shells, I don't need to rest. I have energy. Please continue to delegate tasks to me!"

The organization was very pleased with Li Yun's enthusiasm for work. After , he would always delegate important tasks to Li Yun, and Li Yun was firmly convinced to face difficulties and face difficulties with the firm belief that he would not be afraid of life and death and could always complete it well.

During this period, Xu Qiang gradually developed a love for Li Yun, a brave female agent. After many pursuits, the two tied the knot, which was a rare and heart-warming happy event that happened in this war-torn era.

1935, 20-year-old Li Yun lived up to expectations and had become an excellent agent of the Central Special Forces.

Therefore, after careful consideration by the organization, an extremely important secret task fell on Li Yun. that is to find Chairman Mao’s two missing sons - Mao Anying and Mao Anying.

For half a year, I finally found Chairman Mao’s missing sons

The great leader Chairman Mao dedicated his life for the revolutionary cause, and his relatives also suffered many hardships in the turbulent era.

Chairman Mao has lost 6 relatives, namely his younger brother Mao Zemin and Mao Zetan, his wife Yang Kaihui, his cousin Mao Zejian, his son Mao Anying and his nephew Mao Chuxiong. They all have given their precious lives for the Chinese nation and deserve everyone's admiration.

1930, Yang Kaihui, who was responsible for confidential and transportation liaison work of the Hunan District Committee of the Communist Party of China, died heroically in Changsha at the age of 29.

After Yang Kaihui's death, Mao Anying, Mao Anying and Mao Anyong had no relatives to take care of him and were very pitiful at such a young age. So after research, the party organization decided that their uncle Mao Zemin would send them to Shanghai and hand them over to underground party member Dong Jianwu to raise.

At the beginning, the three brothers studied in Datong Kindergarten led by Dong Jianwu, and their lives were also guaranteed. , but Mao Anyong was in poor health and died of illness the next year.

Mao Anying, Mao Anying and Mao Anying, three brothers

1932, due to the bad situation at that time, Datong Kindergarten had to be closed. In addition, Mao Anying and Mao Anying had no monthly living allowance from the underground party, so they had to follow Dong Jianwu back to the Dong family to live.

At that time, every household was not living well. The originally penniless Dong family increased the food for two people for no reason, but it was really hard to get rid of it. For this reason, his family's attitude towards the two children was quite bad, but fortunately, with Dong Jianwu's care, he would go on.

Later, there was one time, when Dong Jianwu went out to perform a mission, the Dong family spoke even more harshly to Mao Anying and Mao Anying, forcing the two children to choose to leave.

Dong Jianwu

Since then, on the turbulent streets of Shanghai, there have been two lonely children with no relatives and no reason. They use the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed, and live on begging.

"Absolutely confidential, the task will be completed!" In 1935, after receiving the special task assigned by the organization to find Mao Anying and Mao Anying, Li Yun took action without stopping.

Li Yun, who has lived in Shanghai for many years, has seen too many children who died of illness and starvation on the streets of Shanghai. If Mao Anying and Mao Anying are not found as soon as possible, they will be in danger of their lives.

In this regard, Li Yun has formulated many search plans, and he will change his identity every once in a while and keep wandering in the streets and alleys of Shanghai. Whenever he sees a little boy in his 10s, he will come forward and observe silently, but unfortunately, he will return disappointed every time.

Once, Li Yun was almost killed by the Kuomintang spies while following the two little boys. If the spies had not had the marksmanship accurate enough, Li Yun might have died long ago. During

, in order to find two children, Li Yun often forgot to eat and sleep, and thus suffered from severe stomach disease . His whole face was pale and thin, which made people feel very distressed when they saw it.

It was not until half a year later that Li Yun finally found Mao Anying and Mao Anying next to a porridge shop near the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai.

Mao Anying and Mao Anying

At that time, the two children had their hair covered their ears, their clothes were covered with holes and were covered with soil, and they were skinny and bone-skinned. What was particularly uncomfortable was that the two children's dark eyes were full of fear...

After Dong Jianwu's personal confirmation, Li Yun took Mao Anying and Mao Anying back to his home, bathed and cut them, changed into clean clothes, and made a table of delicious food.

Li Yun said: "Watching the children eating in big mouthfuls, I feel that the hard work of the past six months is nothing!" Then, Li Yun gently touched Mao Anying and Mao Anying's heads, showing a knowing smile.

Li Yun

Since then, in order to implement the action purpose of "strictly keeping the party's secrets, firming one's own position, and resolutely obeying the party's distribution", Li Yun has been silent about the search for Mao Anying and Mao Anying.

Mao Xinyu and his wife visited Li Yun

1936, Li Yun was named Miss Qian and became the liaison between the Central Committee and Soong Ching Ling, and fell in love with Soong Ching Ling at first sight;

1949, after the founding of New China, Li Yun served as the representative of the army of the Shanghai Commodity Inspection Bureau, and took over the specialist;

1952, Li Yun returned to Soong Ching Ling again and served as the secretary-general of the China Welfare Association;

1978, Li Yun took over as the deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference until his retirement.

Li Yun

Maybe due to the nature of special science work in the early years, Li Yun herself is low-key and does not mention her past experiences. This is the direct reason why everyone has been unfamiliar with her for decades.

It was not until 2011 that Li Yun's red agent's deeds were known to the world in the mouth of an old cadre.

The most shocking one is Chairman Mao’s only grandson Mao Xinyu . Although she has heard of the early experiences of her uncle Mao Anying and her father Mao Anying, she did not know that there was a life-saving benefactor like Li Yun.

Mao Xinyu

For this reason, Mao Xinyu, accompanied by his wife, made a special trip from Beijing to Shanghai to meet Li Yun, and at the same time expressed his most sincere gratitude from the Mao family to the heroine.

On June 1, 2011, the wind was sunny and the air was fresh. Mao Xinyu and his wife came to Shanghai East China Hospital . Under the guidance of the nurse, they walked into Li Yun's ward.

At this time, Li Yun was 96 years old, with gray hair and black-brown reading glasses. Although it was not convenient to move, his whole body was in good spirits.

After seeing Mao Xinyu and his wife, Li Yun was very happy and took the initiative to say hello: "Come in quickly, can you taste my favorite rose tea?"

Seeing Li Yun so kind, Mao Xinyu and his wife's hearts were extremely warm, and then Mao Xinyu held Li Yun's hand tightly and said:

"Grandma Li, we both came here to express our gratitude to you. Thank you for finding your uncle Mao Anying on the streets of Shanghai back then, and my father Mao Anying, how about it? It's you, they may have sacrificed a long time ago."

Li Yun and Mao Xinyu

Li Yun smiled kindly and said gently: "Child, don't thank you. This is the task assigned to me by the organization and is my job!"

" I have been hiding this secret for 76 years. Now that I can share it with you, I am satisfied and can leave with peace of mind!" Li Yun paused for a moment and continued. After

, under Mao Xinyu's questioning, Liu Yun opened the long-clogged box in his heart and told the whole story of looking for Mao Anying and Mao Anying in Shanghai.

Li Yun

Although the meeting was short, Mao Xinyu developed a wonderful emotion for Li Yun. This emotion is not only gratitude to the life-saving benefactor, but also from the heartfelt admiration for such a courageous and legendary red agent.

After returning to Beijing, Mao Xinyu was very concerned about Li Yun and often called Li Yun to ask about Li Yun's recent physical condition, as if he had regarded Li Yun as his most beloved relative in his heart.

On August 16, 2013, Li Yun died of a disease attack and failed treatment at the age of 98.

In order to attend Li Yun's memorial service, Mao Xinyu immediately turned down all the work in his hand and rushed over. He personally presented flowers to Li Yun, bowed deeply three times, and expressed his gratitude to Li Yun again.

During the revolutionary period, gunpowder was filled with smoke and crises. Li Yun was able to grow into an excellent red agent not only because she was smart since childhood and had extraordinary talent, but more importantly because of her acquired efforts and her firm belief in serving the country.

Here, I would like to pay tribute to Li Yun and to countless glorious soldiers who have been through life and death for the revolution and sacrifice themselves for selflessness. Because of your hard work, our motherland can be prosperous and strong, and the lives of the people can be happy and fulfilling!

Li Yun

We will always remember history, study hard and work hard, and always warn ourselves that a better life is hard-won, cherish it all the time!
