"The Pretender" is a spy war drama that caused a nationwide craze after it aired in 2015. In the play, Ming Lou, played by Jin Dong, is a handsome and hidden protagonist, who lurks in the pseudo-**, showing extraordinary wisdom and talent, injecting infinite charm into the plot.
In fact, the character of Ming Lou is not fictional, he has a historical prototype. His original name was Yuan Shu, although his appearance was ordinary, his background was complex, and he had the five identities of the CCP, the Central Union, the Military Commandery, the Japanese Puppet and the Qinghong Gang.
He died in Beijing in 1987. The charm of this drama is that it is not only an entertainment work, but also a carrier to reveal the truth of history.
Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Xiaolan, devoted himself to the revolution in his early years, and later emerged in the top echelons of the national **, and was an influential figure. However, he had no feelings for his wife, and soon married an even more beautiful wife, causing Yuan Shu's mother and son to be forced to leave.
Yuan Shu was successful in his studies, often read progressive books such as "Marxism", and was deeply influenced by revolutionary aspirants, and made rapid progress. If such talents are not recruited, it is really a huge loss.
So, ** Tek's comrades found Yuan Shu and expressed their desire for him to join Tek. At that time, Yuan Shu was distressed that he had no way to serve the country and could not display his talents. How can you miss such an opportunity?
The two sides hit it off.
On the stage of information warfare, Yuan Shu, with his outstanding wisdom and courage, danced on the tip of the knife every day. He hides his true identity and is in danger, but he is always able to save the day and obtain a lot of valuable information.
Later, he joined Zhongtong by chance and became his second identity. In this way, Yuan Shu's social contacts are wider and his role is greater. By chance, he met Eiichi Shioi, which made him see an opportunity.
In order to win the trust of Eiichi Shioi, he revealed some important plans of the people in the military, and this strategy really worked, impressing Eiichi Shioi.
Yuan Shu's outstanding ability attracted the attention of the people, who urgently needed to find someone who could have close contact with the Japanese, and Yuan Shu was exactly the person they were looking for, he had served the Japanese for a long time and had good relations with the high-level.
After Yuan Shu obtained information from the Japanese, he first transferred all of it to Yan'an, and then passed on some of the information to the people** after screening. However, Yuan Shu's identity was revealed, and he was imprisoned.
Although the military commanders tortured him to extract a confession, he only admitted that he was a member of the Central Command, and this was the only mistake he made. However, who can not make mistakes? Fortunately, Yuan Shu did not reveal his partisan identity.
At that time, the Green Gang was powerful and active. After the Japanese captured Shanghai, they urgently needed the help of the Qinggang to maintain law and order. Out of self-interest, the Green Gang began to hesitate, making it difficult to guess their true intentions.
Yuan Shu was deeply hidden, doing secret work, and few people knew that he was a party member. People only saw that he was ostensibly serving the military commander and entangled with the Japanese, but they did not know that he actually stole a lot of information, destroyed Japan's powder magazine, and made great contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the war, the people wanted to punish this"National scum", but fortunately, the CCP secretly protected him and allowed him to escape death. However, even so, after the founding of New China, Yuan Shu was still imprisoned for his espionage work.
What happened to him seems to confirm the saying, "Whoever engages in intelligence will not end well." It was not until 1982 that he was released. After that, he was rescued, but he ran away from home because of his spirit, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, and the end was extremely miserable.
However, when it comes to his dominating life, Yuan Shu has no regrets. On his deathbed, he firmly stated that if he was given another chance, he would choose the same path.
His experience shows that even in the face of numerous trials, he always adhered to his original intention, which is what he is a true party member.
