In many Chinese film and television dramas, we can see the appearance of beautiful spies. They not only have beautiful appearance, but also have extraordinary skills and military qualities. Therefore, many of us think that the female spies that once existed in reality should look like that.
Although the facts will definitely not completely coincide with the movie and TV series, there is indeed a real beautiful spy in Chinese history. This beautiful agent is named Zhang Hua. In order to hide her identity as a dancer, she was willing to marry a northwest farmer. But she lived an extremely happy life and gave birth to 8 children in 30 years.
In this regard, many people have lamented how they can live together with such an identity gap. Today we will take a look at the identity transformation of a beautiful military spy.
The military command secret service under Dai Li
If it can be said that before the liberation of China, the continuation of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been the last struggle of the Chiang family, then Dai Li is definitely the most reliable wing of the Chiang family. As an officer of the Nationalist Government who was admired by Chiang Kai-shek , Dai Li's greatest gift to Chiang Kai-shek was that he single-handedly founded the military command and trained many capable and ruthless spies.
According to the results of the US Intelligence Agency's investigation of Dai Li, Dai Li trained at least 180,000 agents in the military, and they were spread across many countries, including China, Japan, the United States, and Myanmar. They Dai Li provided intelligence and carried out the tasks assigned to them by the military commander, and they followed him to the death. There is also a reason why Dai Li can gain the loyalty of his subordinates.
First of all, in military command, the training for agents is very strict. This is not only because of the extremely high quality requirements for agents, but also because Dai Li himself graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy and received professional training. Therefore, he also put the training requirements for the military personnel in Whampoa Military Academy into the training of agents. This rigorous attitude also won the trust of the students.
Moreover, he not only personally provides guidance every week, but also gives a certain amount of pension to the families of the fallen agents, which is quite humane. In addition, he will also conduct strict assessments on these agents, including gun battles, martial arts, intelligence communications and other aspects. Even for girls, there is no exception, because Dai Li is not a pity person.
But he valued a female agent very highly. This female agent was Zhang Chunlian, a woman with both beauty and ability.
Femme Fatale Zhang Chunlian
Zhang Chunlian was not initially arranged to enter the army by Dai Li, but was brought in by Mao Renfeng. But after she entered the military command, Dai Li quickly noticed her. Because Zhang Chunlian not only has excellent military qualities, but also has peerless beauty and charming figure. This is exactly Dai Li's ideal standard for a female agent.
In the military command, Zhang Chunlian relied on her own abilities to successfully complete a number of trainings and participated in many important operations. As a result, Dai Li appreciated her more and more and entrusted her with important responsibilities.
For a female agent to be appreciated by Mao Renfeng and Dai Li, the outside world will inevitably have different opinions. Many people speculated that she had an inappropriate relationship with these two men, but we don't know what the truth is.
How much Dai Li values Zhang Chunlian can be seen from the tasks assigned to her. In 1946, Dai Li asked Zhang Chunlian to go to Shaanxi to steal intelligence, and the two of them were in separate contact. Zhang Chunlian received the information and immediately sent it to Dai Li via the radio. The two had a single line of contact, and no third person knew about it.
Until Dai Li died in an accident in a plane crash, the military command changed hands and Mao Renfeng took over. Zhang Chunlian, who was far away in Shaanxi, could not get in touch with her superiors and could only wander around Shaanxi. Since Dai Li originally asked her to perform a three-year mission in Shaanxi, she did not dare to return to the military command without an order, for fear that her identity would be exposed in the process.
In this way, Zhang Chunlian has been staying in Shaanxi. By 1949, the Kuomintang had lost all power and retreated to Taiwan.No one remembers this once-famous female spy. In desperation, Zhang Chunlian could only choose another life.
Anonymous Marrying as a Farmer Couple
Although the Kuomintang has withdrawn, it had already arranged many agents to stay on the mainland before the retreat, and the rest went to Taiwan together or were scattered abroad.
Our party has been making every effort to clear up these people, but it is inevitable that some will slip through the net. In order to escape, they concealed their names and hid in the market. Zhang Chunlian was one of them. After she stayed in Shaanxi, she was worried that her former identity would be exposed, which would lead to disaster. In order to avoid pursuit, she had no choice but to hide her name, changed her name to Zhang Hua, and fled to a small village in Shaanxi.
At that time, this was a relatively poor area in China, with a backward economy and a small population. The reason Zhang Hua chose such a place was because he thought no one would come here. It turns out that she was right. But in order to survive, it is not enough to remain anonymous. You must also find a way to make a living here.
So, Zhang Hua set his sights on an old bachelor who was alone and living a lonely life. Zhang Hua decided to commit himself to him and spend the rest of his time here. The bachelor saw that Zhang Hua had such a graceful figure. Even though he was wearing rags and disheveled hair, he could not hide his beauty under the dust.
Afterwards, the two of them had no wedding and no witnesses, so they began to live a different life in the small mountain village. At first, there would be talkative neighbors who would advise him: Don't want such a woman of unknown origin, especially a spy.
But the bachelor has never doubted his wife. In his heart, Zhang Huan can live with him and his life is complete. Moreover, Zhang Hua lied that he was a widow who had escaped from the disaster and was left alone and helpless. This made the bachelor feel pity for her.
And Zhang Hua did not have any other bad intentions, he just followed her husband wholeheartedly. This has been 30 years, and she has given birth to 8 children for her husband. This kind of life is what this bachelor dreams of, but he doesn't know that his wife was once a spy who killed without blood.
Many years later, Zhang Hua was seriously ill and was about to die, so he confessed the secret of the year to his family. I wonder if I can recall that unforgettable experience when I was still Zhang Chunyan.
We have not experienced that turbulent era, but we can see from film and television works how turbulent that society was, and how the military special agents arrested and persecuted members of our party. It is precisely because of this that we hate the military commander so much. Even if it is just a product of the changing times, we still cannot forget the harm we have done.
