Zhao Nanqi was accused of being a spy, **What is the result of the investigation?
In 1987, due to physical reasons, Hong Xuezhi, Minister of General Logistics, took the initiative to retire, and recommended Zhao Nanqi to take over this position before retirement. Soon, Zhao Nanqi was successfully elected as a member of the 13th People's Congress and was officially appointed as the Minister of General Logistics.
However, a few days later, an anonymous whistleblower letter left Yang in confusion. The letter said that Zhao Nanqi was a spy sent by South Korea and that he could not be entrusted with a heavy task. After receiving the letter, Yang Shangkun immediately ordered the relevant personnel to keep the secret secret and asked ** for advice.
** An investigative team headed by Yang Shangkun was quickly set up to find out about the matter.
Is Zhao Nanqi a spy after all? A secret letter unravels the mystery of his identity. This incident is closely related to Zhao Nanqi's life experience. Born in 1927 into a poor family in North Korea, Cho Nam-ki was deeply influenced by his grandfather Cho Dong-sik and was full of hatred for Japan.
In order to resist Japan's cultural aggression, Zhao Nanqi chose to study at a private school in North Korea, dreaming that one day he would be able to inherit his grandfather's wish and drive out the Japanese. However, the cultural aggression of the Japanese became more and more serious, and they closed all local Korean schools, forcing them to speak Japanese and learn Japanese.
What is the truth of this incident? Yang Shangkun launched an investigation into this.
Under the guidance of his father, Zhao Longjiu, 13-year-old Zhao Nanqi embarked on a journey to "Manchuria" in northeastern China. They stopped at the Chalu River at the foot of the Changbai Mountains, where there were several villages where Korean compatriots lived at the time.
Zhao Nanqi's family settled here and spent five years. Finally, the news of Japan's defeat came, and Korea and "Manchuria" were about to be liberated. People were ecstatic and packed their bags to go home.
However, Zhao Nanqi made a decision that surprised everyone. He chose to join the PLA, stay in the country that gave them refuge when they were cornered, and join the army.
Zhao Nanqi, who was only 18 years old, walked more than 100 miles alone, found the autonomous army formed in the northeast, and officially became a member of the Northeast Autonomous Army. Although he has lived in China for more than five years, his Chinese language is not very good because of the predominantly Korean people in his village, and he can only engage in simple conversations, but he is not able to understand it deeply.
Due to the language barrier and his status as a North Korean, Zhao Nanqi was not reused in the army and was often questioned by those around him.
At the end of 1945, Zhao Nanqi finally found a way out of the predicament. Due to the blockade of the Kuomintang, his unit did not succeed in procuring supplies for a long time, and the cold weather in the northeast made it difficult for the fighters to hold on.
Zhao Nanqi took the initiative to stand up and said: "I can raise food, let me give it a try." Everyone was skeptical of his claims, and someone asked, "You?" Are you going to get food alone? ”
At that time, there were doubts about his identity. However, Zhou Baozhong, deputy commander of the autonomous army, looked at Zhao Nanqi's firm eyes and encouraged him: "You can go out, but you have to remember that you can't force the people." ”
With the commander's entrustment and the distrust of some comrades-in-arms, Zhao Nanqi left the camp alone. To everyone's surprise, a few days later, Zhao Nanqi came back with nearly 300,000 catties of grain.
Everyone looked at Zhao Nanqi in amazement and asked him about the doubts in their hearts. "How did you do that? Zhao Nanqi replied: "Before I joined the army this year, it was just in time for a bumper harvest year.
This year, everyone's harvest is good, and since I am both North Koreans with them, it is easier to communicate. Each family in the surrounding villages got together a little bit of food, which allowed us to get through this difficult time.
These grains not only filled our stomachs, but also warmed our hearts, allowing the estrangement between us to gradually melt and deepen the comradeship. After that, Zhao Nanqi was organized to study in a school in the Northeast.
During his time at the school, he diligently studied Chinese and professional knowledge. After graduating, he has been working in the Yanbian area. However, the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea changed Zhao's life and allowed him to set foot again in his hometown after many years.
On June 25, 1950, Zhao Nanqi was sent to the Korean battlefield to be responsible for the liaison between the two sides. After arriving in North Korea, Cho did not waste time reminiscing about the past, but immediately threw himself into a new job and went all out.
For the next year, Zhao Nanqi was mainly responsible for the documentation and translation work of the front-line command post, and occasionally served as an interpreter in the conversations between the two sides. At a meeting in Gokcheon-dong, half a year after Cho Nam-ki's arrival on the Korean battlefield, his fluency in Korean and unique insights caught the attention of North Korean Prime Minister Park Heon-yong, who was attending the meeting at the time.
When he learned that Cho Nam-ki was also a North Korean, Park Hyun-young asked *** if he could let Cho Nam-ki stay in North Korea to work. ** When asked for Zhao Nanqi's opinion, Zhao Nanqi replied without hesitation: "I am now a member of the Communist Party of China and a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
I love the country I live in, China has long since become my second home, my motherland. I hope to be able to stay in China and continue to contribute to the country. ”
Zhao Nanqi was transferred to the logistics department in June 1951 and became a member of the troops commanded by Hong Xuezhi. During his work in the Ministry of Transport, Zhao Nanqi took the risk of driving a car to deliver various stations and logistical support materials to the frontline under the fierce exchange of fire between the enemy and us, including 30,000 very dangerous grenades, and successfully solved the problem of insufficient ammunition on the frontline.
Surprisingly, Zhao Nanqi wrote a suicide note to his family before leaving and asked them to help convey, "Don't feel sorry for me. I am sacrificing for my country. ”
With his practical actions, Zhao Nanqi showed his love for the motherland, his supremacy of the Communist Party of China, and his firm belief in and protection of the people of the motherland.
In 1958, after Zhao Nanqi returned to the motherland with the Volunteers, he has been in charge of Yanbian work in Jilin Province. During his work in Yanbian, he always stuck to the front line, actively promoted the reform of Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture, and single-handedly grasped the cultural and economic development of Yanbian, making Jilin Province a national commodity grain base.
Although Zhao Nanqi cares about the people, his background has once again become the target of attack. Anonymous letter In 1987, an unsubstantiated anonymous letter was sent to Yang Shangkun, accusing Zhao Nanqi of being a South Korean spy, and had received a secret letter written to him by South Korea in 1979, asking him to disguise his identity and spy on our army's military secrets.
Furthermore, after 1980, we communicate with Korea through radio stations. This letter surprised Yang Shangkun, because Zhao Nanqi was a soldier with a revolutionary history and a candidate personally recommended by Hong Xuezhi, so it was impossible to be a spy.
Yang Shangkun deeply realized the importance of the matter, immediately reported to his superiors, and was approved. **It was decided that Yang Shangkun would be the main person in charge and set up an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the authenticity of the Zhao Nanqi incident.
He also specifically instructed Yang Shangkun: "We can't give any chance to bad guys, but we can't wronged any good comrade who serves the people." ”
After receiving the instructions, Yang Shangkun immediately began to investigate Zhao Nanqi. He listened to the evaluations of Zhao Nanqi by Hong Xuezhi, Zhou Bao, and others, and they all firmly believed that Zhao Nanqi was loyal to the party and the country and would not betray him.
Then, Yang Shangkun conducted an in-depth investigation into the two things mentioned in the anonymous letter, the secret letter and the radio station, and found that many insiders knew about these things, and Zhao Nanqi himself had reported it to **.
After checking it repeatedly, he found that there was a name mentioned in the letters and radio recordings - Zhao Nanyuan, a name that was very similar to Zhao Nanqi. Yang Shangkun personally questioned Zhao Nanqi for this, and when he learned that someone called him a spy, Zhao Nanqi was very shocked and strongly demanded that Yang Shangkun must seriously investigate and return his innocence.
Yang Shangkun comforted him and said: "Don't worry, the organization will definitely clear up your grievances." Then, he asked, "Who is Zhao Nanyuan?" ”
Zhao Nanyuan, my own brother, we have been separated for decades. He's in South Korea now, and I, as a Chinese ***, can't visit him. According to Zhao Nanqi, I learned that this minority general is not as beautiful as people see, and he also has some unspeakable hardships and unrealizable regrets.
It turned out that after Zhao Longjiu took Zhao Nanqi and them to the Northeast, our grandfather Zhao Dongzhi was depressed and his health deteriorated because he missed his hometown deeply. Half a year later, Zhao Dongzhi said to Zhao Jiulong:"I already know that my physical condition is getting worse and worse.
It is often said'Fallen leaves return to their roots'I just want to go back to North Korea and spend the rest of my life there. "Originally, Zhao Nanqi was supposed to accompany his grandfather back, but he took the initiative to say:"I want to stay in China, I love life here. "
So, Zhao Nanyuan returned to his hometown in North Korea instead of him. Although we can still receive letters from our younger brother, Cho Nam-won, he has been barred from communicating with us since the beginning of the Korean War because of his presence in South Korea. "
1.Zhao Nanyuan and Zhao Nanqi brothers were separated for many years, until 1979, when Zhao Nanyuan heard Zhao Nanqi's name on the radio, and he wrote to him with the mentality of giving it a try.

A year later, during the Spring Festival, Zhao Nanqi learned the news of his younger brother Zhao Nanyuan from the local population during his condolences in Yingcheng. After returning home, he reported to his superiors, and successfully retrieved a radio broadcast and collected it.
Yang Shangkun comforted Zhao Nanqi, told him the reason for the separation of his brothers, and hoped that they would meet again after the relationship between China and South Korea improved. Regarding the anonymous letter, Yang Shangkun and others conducted an in-depth investigation, and finally proved that what was stated in the letter was a distortion of facts, and Comrade Zhao Nanqi's innocence was indisputable.
During his tenure as head of the General Logistics Department, Zhao Nanqi was officially promoted to the rank of general a year later. In 2004, he visited South Korea on behalf of the Chinese delegation, the first time he had returned to his birthplace since leaving Cheongwon-gun.
However, although he missed his brother day and night, he was not able to see him as he wished. In the end, Zhao Nanqi left South Korea with regret and returned to China.
