The mention of the word "traitor" generally evokes associations of betrayal and spurn. However, if we have a deeper understanding of the history of that time, we will find that some people did not become "traitors" out of their own volition, they still have noble patriotic feelings in their hearts, and they always identify themselves as Chinese. Today I want to talk about such a "pseudo-traitor", Xia Wenyun. Xia Wenyun was born in 1905, his family was not wealthy, his parents were just ordinary workers, but they attached great importance to his education. They did not hesitate to spend on Xia Wenyun's Xi, except for basic living expenses, almost all of the money was spent on his Xi materials. Xia Wenyun's Xi has always been very good and has been widely recognized by teachers. In 1919, he successfully entered the Lushun Normal School, and after graduation, he was recommended by the school to continue his studies at Meiji University in Japan with excellent results.
During his time studying abroad, he developed a strong interest in advanced Japanese culture and mastered the Japanese language through self-study. After returning to China, he worked as the principal's secretary at a school, however, the outbreak of the 918 Incident led to the fall of Dalian and Xia Wenyun's school was forced to close. Because he was fluent in Japanese, the Japanese army arrested him as a translator, was Xia Wenyun willing? He can only obey his fate. By chance, Xia Wenyun became acquainted with Communist Party member Li Renzong, who believed that Xia Wenyun was very different from other traitors and had extremely high patriotic feelings, and decided to train him to become an underground intelligence worker of the Chinese Communist Party. Xia Wenyun was eager to do his part for the motherland, so the two were like-minded. Since then, Xia Wenyun has worked harder in the Japanese army, deliberately currying favor with Japan, serving Japan wholeheartedly, and even marrying a Japanese wife. He has completely lost his vigilance.
He continued to rise through the ranks, and was even assigned to North China as a full-time interpreter for the commander. As a result, he had access to more extensive and confidential intelligence. He used every opportunity to convey useful information, including information related to many major battles such as the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan. During the Battle of Taierzhuang in 1938, Xia Wenyun delivered a secret report to Li Zongren. Although it was only eight words, it was of great help to the victory of the Communist Party. Xia Wenyun is a heroic figure who has been ignored by history for a long time. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, as a "traitor", he successfully penetrated deep into the enemy and won valuable intelligence for the party and the country.
The secret report only briefly stated that "the Japanese army moved in the south but did not move in the north", but Xia Wenyun was keenly aware that this meant that the focus of the Japanese army was to develop to the south, and he quickly adjusted his strategic deployment, arranged troops for support, and finally defeated the Japanese army in the Battle of Taierzhuang and achieved a major victory. In addition, he repeatedly rescued or covered many arrested Communists, silently doing dangerous work in the rear of the enemy. Although Xia Wenyun's actions were highly praised by the party, in the process of working for Japan, his friends gradually left, and his family members also expressed incomprehension. However, he was well aware of his mission, and he was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and insisted on lurking in Japan to obtain more information for the party and the country and rescue more compatriots of the nation. It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that he became known. Although his identity was once criticized, fortunately, Li Zongren corrected his name in time, and Xia Wenyun was saved from misfortune.
Xia Wenyun is an extremely ordinary but extraordinary hero who silently dedicated his life to the motherland and the people. It is precisely because of such heroes who are silently making efforts for the War of Resistance Against Japan that our victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression can be realized. In the troubled times, Xia Wenyun did not forget his original heart, did not lose the mission in his heart, he is our great national hero!
