On April 19, 1974, Fu Zuoyi died of illness at the age of 79. When talking about Fu Zuoyi, we have to mention the great scene of the peaceful liberation of Peking back then.
Fu Zuoyi
On January 22, 1949, an announcement on the "Agreement on the Peaceful Liberation of Peking" was officially issued, and Fu Zuoyi's troops evacuated from Peiping. The People's Liberation Army officially entered Peiping without spending a soldier and no sacrifice, and the people of Beiping welcomed each other.
Subsequently, Fu Zuoyi changed his camp and served the Communist Party. He set an example whether it was promoting the peaceful liberation of Suiyuan or participating in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
Following to the Communist Party and promoting the peaceful liberation of Peking was the most correct thing Fu Zuoyi has ever done. However, until his death, he didn't know that the person around him who had been using was actually a member of the hidden front of the Communist Party. If this person had not been persuading him with great sincerity, he would not have chosen to give up on his resignation to Chiang Kai-shek. This person would have been his personal secretary, Yan Youwen.
Yan Youwen
What kind of person is Yan Youwen? What contributions did he make to the reverse of the situation?
After many years, one day in 1946, Yan Youwen encountered a strange thing.
In the headquarters of the Chief of the Twelfth War Zone, due to the introduction of his colleague Xue Qilu, a face-to-face fur merchant claimed to be Zhang Zhigong. When he saw Yan Youwen, the then deputy director of the Political Department of the 12th War Zone of the KMT, excitedly asked about his brother's whereabouts.
Yan Youwen, who was reading the newspaper, paused, lowered the newspaper in his hand, glanced at Zhang Zhigong, and said lightly without expression: "I don't know the younger brother you mentioned, let alone this person." Zhang Zhigong could not find out what he could ask, so he hesitated for a while and had to retreat first.
thought the matter came to an end, but unexpectedly, Yan Youwen met Zhang Zhigong again. But this second side was caused by Mr. Zhang Zhi.
Yan Youwen Mansion.
"I'll bother you a few guards, I want to see Chief Yan." Zhang Zhigong was holding the snacks he bought in his hand, which shows his sincerity.
"No, how could you meet Chief Yan at any time?" The guards were unwilling to be at a disadvantage and insisted on their post responsibilities.
is neither left nor right, but Duke Zhang Zhi knew that he had to meet Yan Youwen! Suddenly, Zhang Zhigong saw the old woman sweeping the floor in the yard. He had an idea and shouted sadly: "Let me meet Chief Yan. My mother was almost crying in order to find her younger brother. As a brother, I must find her younger brother."
Zhang Zhigong
The old woman listened to Yu Xin's heart, so she said to the door: "Let him come in, Youwen is still having a meal, and I will lead you to see him after he eats."
The old woman was actually Yan Youwen's mother. She spoke, but the guards didn't dare to resist, so they let Zhang Zhigong in.
Mr. Zhang thanked the old woman repeatedly.
Yan Youwen just finished his meal when he saw Duke Zhang Zhi appear in front of him.
Seeing Zhang Zhigong again, Yan Youwen was a little surprised. He didn't know that he would find the mansion again. Could it be that the reply he gave him last time was not clear enough? Before Yan Youwen could ask questions, Mr. Zhang Zhi asked three questions.
"You are Yan Youwen, right?"
"You are from Ronghe, Shanxi, right?"
"Are you a graduate of Shanxi University?"
asked three questions in a row, and Yan Youwen nodded while frowned frequently.Why would a stranger ask him about his personal affairs, not his brother's affairs?
When Yan Youwen was puzzled, Zhang Zhigong said excitedly: "Comrade Yan Youwen, I sent me from the Yan'an Party Central Committee to contact you."
Party Central Committee? After hearing these words, Yan Youwen stared at Zhang Zhigong like a ray of light, and was very happy: "Are you sent by the Party Central Committee? That's great, I'm so looking forward to this day!" Why is
said to be hopeful? What happened again?
In January 1939, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang was held, and the strategy was adjusted and the choice was to shift the finger from the Japanese army to the Communist Party. Subsequently, the Kuomintang, located across the country, began to take action in an all-round way, creating a series of incidents to restrict the Communist Party. For a time, the relationship between the two parties quickly dropped to freezing point.
For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek also criticized Yan Youwen's boss Fu Zuoyi for being the Communist Party. The reason is that Fu Zuoyi did not follow the command of his superiors and still had contacts with the Communist Party.
Fu Zuoyi
In May 1939, in order to better carry out anti-Japanese activities, Fu Zuoyi held a "Symposium on the Founding of the People's Republic of China" in Baichuanbao. The relevant rotation training not only included some Kuomintang cadres, but also some Communist Party members and non-party members.
It has to be said that Fu Zuoyi's move plays an important role in the subsequent output of powerful armed forces. However, in Chiang Kai-shek's view, his achievements were a rebellious and completely incompatible with the policies formulated by the Kuomintang. So the superiors sent people to stare at Fu Zuoyi and asked him to clear away the Communist Party around him.
Anti-Japanese resistance was Fu Zuoyi's proposal as a patriot, but people had to bow their heads under the roof. He did not attack the Communist Party by other Kuomintang members, but instead called Chiang Kai-shek back: I want Chairman Mao to invite them, so they have to be sent back safely. In this way, the Communist Party members returned to Yan'an.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the party organization had no time to contact Yan Youwen and discussed who to contact and how to contact him afterwards. is like this, Yan Youwen is like a kite with a broken string, and can only think about crossing the river by himself, thinking that as long as his identity is not exposed, he will definitely have the opportunity to contact the party organization again.
However, this wait has almost seven years passed.
In August 1945, Wang Yu received an order from his superiors, asking him to look for Yan Youwen, an underground party member who had been missing for nearly seven years.
Wang Yu was thinking on the way to perform the task: In seven years, flowers bloom and fall, spring goes and winter comes, things are commonplace. Can Yan Youwen strengthen his beliefs and continue to be used by the Party? Wang Yu thought about the question of
for a long time, but there was no answer. Only after contacting it, this question seems to be concluded, and his own safety questions will also have different results according to the answer.
So, Wang Yu became Zhang Zhigong by name, dressed up as a furry merchant to hide his eyes and then inquire about it along the way. Hard work pays off. When Wang Yu was having a meal in a restaurant, he met Xue Qilu, a subordinate of Fu Zuoyi. Wang Yu quickly became familiar with Xue Qilu and successfully met Yan Youwen through his recommendation. However, due to the people around him, he could not speak directly, so he had to find an opportunity to meet Yan Youwen alone.
Although Yan Youwen acted like a long-awaited organization's return, it remains to be observed.
has made many contributions and outstanding achievements
In fact, the joy that Yan Youwen can reconnect with the organization is not fake. When the July 7 Incident broke out, it was Yan Youwen who went to college. Seeing foreign countries bullying our people and territory with their hateful faces, the youth's blood and energy inspired Yan Youwen to embark on the road to saving the country.

Originally, Yan Youwen was going to Yan'an to surrender to the Communist Party, but on the way, he met Fu Zuoyi's team recruiting new people. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing, he decided to take the opportunity to surrender here first, and then came to Yan'an. However, a comrade in Yan'an encouraged him to stay in Fu Zuoyi's tribe. After all, Fu Zuoyi was also a patriotic general in anti-Japanese war, and he did the same career with him.
In the early stage, Fu Zuoyi and the Communist Party were closely involved, and Yan Youwen was exposed to a lot of content and thoughts about the party. After systematic training, Yan Youwen graduated with excellent results. Fu Zuoyi valued him very much and ordered him to be the political director of the regiment of the 35th Army.
In September 1938, CCP special envoy Pan Jiwen had a secret conversation with Yan Youwen, and he decided to join the Communist Party secretly and become a hidden worker. Who knew that before I could work for the organization, I lost contact with the organization.
However, Yan Youwen, who cared about organizational discipline, never wanted to betray the organization for a moment. During the days when he could not get in touch, he always maintained his original intention and strived for the best. With his outstanding writing style and reliable service style, he gradually won the trust of Fu Zuoyi and became a confidential secretary around Fu Zuoyi. At the same time, we also wait for the comrades who came to the organization to connect.
This time, Wang Yu came to Yan Youwen to convey the instructions from his superiors.
Because Yan Youwen's special identity is already a confidential secretary beside Fu Zuoyi, his identity needs to be taken care of not being exposed. Therefore, Yan Youwen can only contact specific superiors in a single line, which means that only a very small number of people will know his true identity.

In addition, because of his convenient identity, Yan Youwen can find out the real strength of Fu Zuoyi's tribe. Through Fu Zuoyi, you can also see the strategic trends of the Kuomintang. Another important point is to pay attention to the subtle relationship between Fu Zuoyi and Chiang Kai-shek.
The central leaders still highly recognize Fu Zuoyi's positive performance in the anti-Japanese war. However, the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and the civil war was about to break out. If Fu Zuoyi could be used by the Party, it was the party who was happy to see it. However, there was still a lot of work to be done in the early stage, which was also the reason for instructing Yan Youwen to work.
Yan Youwen kept his mission in mind. After years of silence, he finally began to officially open again.
First of all, the top priority is to settle Wang Yu first, so that the contact between the two and the intelligence transmission work can be smoothly carried out.
Wang Yu is an old comrade, so he naturally knew that his identity needs to be packaged so that he would not show any flaws. So he opened a warehouse for fur business with several merchants in Baotou, which is also in line with his previously revealed identity.
Everything is arranged, just wait for Yan Youwen to convey useful information to report it to his superiors.
In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a civil war. In September, Fu Zuoyi led his team to attack Zhangjiakou in a large-scale battle. In the Battle of Suidong, not only Fu Zuoyi was asked to confront the Communist Party head-on, but even Yan Youwen was forced to see the situation of his colleagues killing each other.
The Suidong Battle was won step by step with Fu Zuoyi's victory, and finally won Zhangjiakou to end. For a moment, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy and waved his hand to order him to be the "Suppression Headquarters" of North China.

In July 1946, Fu Zuoyi came to Yan Youwen after the victory of the Jining Battle and asked him to write an open letter to Chairman Mao to express Fu Zuoyi's attitude and position at this time.
letter reads: As long as Mr. Mao joins the government, if you don’t dislike me, I voluntarily become a subordinate of Mr. Mao, a lowest-level employee, and absolutely faithfully obey you.
On September 20, 1946, the "Open Telegram to Mao Zedong" was published in the "Struggle Daily", which then caused a sensation and was reprinted crazily within the Communist Party and the Kuomintang. All the Communists who saw the contents of the letter were angry by Yan Youwen's sharp writing style. All the Communists cheered up and did not want to see the enemy's victory again. The writer Yan Youwen caused even more resentment.
However, many people don’t know that Yan Youwen hesitated several times before taking the writing, and even found Wang Yu to come up with an idea. news reached Premier Zhou. Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou supported Yan Youwen's writing, and it must be written "pretty excessive", so that the "Open Telegram to Mao Zedong" that inspires the party will be born.
In May 1948, in order to accelerate the process of liberation, the Liaoshen Campaign, the Huaihai Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign came into being. Li Kenong sent Wang Yu to urgently contact Yan Youwen to find out the situation of Fu Zuoyi, the "Suppression Headquarters of the North China" in the shortest time and the detailed military deployment to see if Fu Zuoyi can be persuaded and at the same time ensure the victory of the three main battlefields.

Yan Youwen analyzed: The contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek and Fu Zuoyi is gradually emerging, and there is a great opportunity to convince him to change his camp. There are several reasons:
First, Chiang Kai-shek was attracted by Fu Zuoyi's ability and recruited him under his command, but he could not become a direct legion, and could only be regarded as a local army. But Chiang Kai-shek was not relieved and always sent people to closely monitor Fu Zuoyi, and even wanted to install spies to his various departments.
Second, the Kuomintang is corrupt and has no responsibility that soldiers should have. Fu Zuoyi, who experienced the chaos, was very disappointed with Chiang Kai-shek.
Third, in the previous battles, Yan Youwen had repeatedly persuaded Fu Zuoyi to negotiate with the Communist Party. Fu Zuoyi's attitude loosened several times, but in the end it was not realized due to various reasons.
Therefore, Yan Youwen believes that Fu Zuoyi's persuasion work is likely to work.
Is the facts like Yan Youwen’s analysis? The peaceful liberation of Peking has made it all.
The identity has not been restored, and there is no regret in his life
1948 On November 2, 1948, Chiang Kai-shek, who was defeated in the Liaoshen Campaign, asked Fu Zuoyi to retreat to the south for him. Fu Zuoyi was unwilling to be Chiang Kai-shek's watchdog at all. He showed a strong attitude of being able to hold on to North China, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel shaken.
Chiang Kai-shek's reply not only avoided the re-expanding of the Kuomintang's strength, but also gave the party organization the opportunity to convince Fu Zuoyi.
On November 29, 1948, the Pingjin Battle started, and based on the information provided by Yan Youwen, he decided to "encircle but not fight" and "separate but not surround" the troops in Peiping, which made Fu Zuoyi unable to escape or win.
Fu Zuoyi
At this time, as the military advisor of Fu Zuoyi, Yan Youwen kept persuading Fu Zuoyi to negotiate with the Communist Party, and Fu Zuoyi's daughter Fu Dongju is also a progressive person and is actively promoting the peace talks. After repeated thinking, Fu Zuoyi finally made a decision and sent representatives to negotiate with the People's Liberation Army. After several twists and turns, the matter finally settled.
On January 22, 1949, Yan Youwen read out the Peaceful Liberation Agreement on Peking on behalf of Fu Zuoyi. Peiping was liberated peacefully.
On February 22, 1949, Chairman Mao cordially met with Fu Zuoyi and others who came in Xibaipo. He not only praised Fu Zuoyi's decision, but also praised the open letter written by Yan Youwen in a double sentence.
1949 On February 22, 1949, Yan Youwen (6th left) followed Fu Zuoyi (4th left) to Xibaipo to visit Chairman Mao and the Prime Minister. Although the problems of Fu Zuoyi and Peking were resolved, Yan Youwen's identity was not immediately restored. The organization ordered him to assist in the reorganization work within Fu Zuoyi's department and assist in the smooth progress of the Suiyuan Uprising.
After the founding of New China, the people have no more pain caused by war, and living and working in peace and contentment have become the dominant theme of society. After
, Fu Zuoyi, who had no war, was transferred to the Ministry of Water Resources as Minister, and Yan Youwen still worked under him.
On September 25, 1962, Yan Youwen passed away. Until the last moment of his life, his identity was not declassified, but Yan Youwen didn't care about it, but just told his family: if you have something to do, he found an organization.

1993, Wang Yu mentioned Yan Youwen and his family at the Spring Festival friendship meeting in the public security system, and stood up to prove to Yan Youwen's children that the secret matter that had been buried for more than 40 years was opened.
