"I am a screw in the CCP's special intelligence machine, and I have only fulfilled my promise to the party. Under the leadership and cultivation of the party, I took root, sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit. "
This is Shen Anna's description of her 11-year thrilling ** career in her later years. Although some people call her the most legendary female **, the woman who holds Chiang Kai-shek's pulse, she modestly compares herself to a screw and silently contributes her strength.
In 1931, at the age of 16, Shen Anna bravely went to Shanghai with her sister in order to help her sister escape the shackles of an arranged marriage. In Shanghai, they were admitted to middle school with excellent grades, and Shen Anna met her revolutionary partner, Hua Mingzhi.
However, at that time, Shen Anna did not expect that she would become a red **, and she was worried about her livelihood. Having lost contact with her family and the high cost of tuition in Shanghai, Shen Anna made a decision in 1934 to enroll in the Shanghai Bingxun Chinese Shorthand School to solve the problem of living expenses.
Studying in a shorthand school for half a year will not only allow you to master shorthand skills, but you will also be able to graduate with low tuition fees. Shen Anna successfully enrolled in the school with a higher education level than ordinary students.
When she was about to graduate, she received a job offer as a stenographer of the national **, a position that was sourcing in the eyes of everyone. However, Shen Anna refused after careful consideration.
She knows very well that the perverse behavior of the national ** is against the will of the people, and if she goes to work for the national **, it will be to help the abuse. She told her boyfriend Hua Mingzhi about this, but Hua Mingzhi looked thoughtful after hearing it, and suggested that Shen Anna should not rush to make a decision first.
A few days later, Hua Mingzhi revealed a shocking news to Shen Anna.
Hua Mingzhi told Shen Anna seriously that it was only at this moment that she realized that her boyfriend Hua Mingzhi was actually an underground party member. Under his influence, Shen Anna's heart was filled with revolutionary enthusiasm, and she was always eager to make sacrifices for the party organization, even giving her life.
Therefore, she raised her head and expressed her determination to Hua Mingzhi: "In January 1935, I successfully passed the probationary period of the Kuomintang Zhejiang Province ** and officially became a stenographer of the Zhejiang Provincial ** Secretariat.
Within Zhejiang**, I was trusted because I seemed to be just a weak woman, and people didn't think I was capable of doing intelligence work. But in fact, an intelligence network is quietly forming, and the tasks of the higher authorities are being issued one after another. ”
At first, Shen Anna was not good at intelligence work, and even a little reckless. I remember one time, she brought out the provincial ** meeting folder and stuffed the letter directly into the mezzanine of the briefcase, although it was successful, but in retrospect, I still have palpitations.
Therefore, she began to be more cautious, learned to use ** ink, wrote documents in code, and exercised the ability to remember, for the documents that could not be carried out, she directly memorized them in her head.
However, suspicion is always accompanied by intelligence work, and after Shen Anna worked in the province for a while, she returned to the dormitory one day and found that the suitcase had been pried open, and the ink was gone.
Shen Anna was so frightened that under questioning, it turned out that someone from the dormitory had opened her suitcase. Because of her bottle of ink, she could be charged. Luckily, Shen Anna kept her cool at the critical moment, she snatched the white ink bottle from her colleague's hand, poured out the clear liquid, and explained to everyone that it was just a subriberi potion, and she could find a doctor to prove it if needed.
Shen Anna's performance was very firm, and everyone believed that it was just a misunderstanding. As a result, although the incident was thrilling, it was finally resolved peacefully. Shen Anna still had palpitations when she recalled this incident, so she found an opportunity to ask the section chief to rent a single room for herself, successfully avoiding the risk of her suitcase being prying.
There are many difficulties in the transmission of information, and the love between Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi has become their cover. They dated every week, and in 1935, under the arrangement of the party organization, Hua Mingzhi moved to Zhejiang, they simply held a wedding, and a year after the marriage, Shen Anna gave birth to a lovely son.
Although life is thrilling, their family life is also warm. Two years later, however, that warmth was shattered. The outbreak of the July 7 Incident, Japan's full-scale invasion of China, and the people's ** moved south, and they, as underground workers, had to go to different regions.
In the process of carrying out their mission, Shen Anna and Hua Mingzhi unfortunately lost contact with the party organization, making it impossible to transmit the information in their hands. This puts them in an unprecedented predicament, feeling as if they have been abandoned by the whole world.
However, they did not give up, but persistently searched for news of the party organization. After a period of exploration, they finally learned the news that the Eighth Route Army had set up an office in Wuhan, and they also knew about the existence of *** and others.
But because they were Kuomintang functionaries on the surface, they could not publicly contact the party organization. So, Shen Anna pretended to be sick and asked for leave, pretended to be a progressive student, and quietly infiltrated Wuhan.
In order to avoid being tracked by the spies, she did not go directly to the office of the Eighth Route Army, but mixed in the parade to look around. In the end, she met their party introducer on the street, and she was both excited and emotional.
Shen Anna went through a lot of twists and turns, and finally met *** After seeing Shen Anna, she was extremely happy and gave her a more important task - to break into the core class of the Kuomintang.
This task sounds very difficult, but for our party at that time, as long as there is the slightest possibility, we must go all out. Shen Anna thought of her old boss, Zhu Jiahua, chairman of Zhejiang Province, who had now been promoted to secretary general of the Kuomintang center.
The Kuomintang Secretariat definitely needs stenographers, so Shen Anna went to visit Zhu Jiahua with large bags of gifts. For the sake of his own future, he begged his old boss, and there was absolutely nothing suspicious about this matter.
Because of her diligence, ability and outstanding ability, Shen Anna was appreciated by Zhu Jiahua and successfully completed the work transfer. However, Zhu Jiahua reminded her that to mix in the upper echelons of the Kuomintang, she must be a member of the Kuomintang.
In order to dispel the suspicion of the enemy, Shen Anna resolutely decided to join the Kuomintang. Subsequently, her husband Hua Mingzhi also came to Chongqing through his wife's job transfer.
Once again, the husband and wife fought side by side on this intelligence line. After Shen Anna entered the secretariat of the Kuomintang, she found that her situation was very favorable.
Due to the extremely loose and chaotic organizational structure of the Kuomintang, the stenographic department had only two intelligence officers at that time, including Shen Anna, who used two completely different shorthand methods.
This meant that within the entire Kuomintang, only Shen Anna could understand her shorthand symbols. Despite this, Shen Anna still felt insecure, so she researched a set of shorthand symbols herself, so that no one in the world could decipher her symbols.
However, due to Shen Anna's low rank within the Kuomintang, she could not contact Chiang Kai-shek and others, and therefore could not obtain the most core information. However, in the midst of the Kuomintang's management loopholes, Shen Anna found a unique opportunity.
Magic Channel**! The Kuomintang's secrecy loopholes led to a mountain of discarded documents, and Shen Anna took the opportunity to secretly search for information among the piles of documents when she passed by the printing office every day.
Her ingenuity and perseverance eventually earned her trust within the Kuomintang and she was able to get close to Chiang Kai-shek and become an intelligence officer.
When Chiang Kai-shek was at a meeting, Shen Anna served as a stenographer and provided first-hand information for our party. The speed at which she obtained news from the Kuomintang was faster than that of the Kuomintang officers at the front, and there was even some information that Chiang Kai-shek had not yet seen the official version, ** and *** already knew.
Under this kind of intelligence siege, the Kuomintang naturally could not win. In order to maintain this intelligence line, Shen Anna paid a huge sacrifice, she did not take a day off for many years, and she was always in a high tension during the day, not letting go of any information that could be unearthed.
