I don't know if you have ever heard the word "Longtan Sanjie"? The "Three Masters of Longtan" are the three most important agents of our party's hidden front, namely Qian Zhuangfei, Li Kenong, and Hu Di. They lurked around the Kuomintang, risked their lives to send important information to our party, saved the party organization at a critical moment, and made great contributions to our party. Today we will talk about Qian Zhuangfei, one of the "Three Masters of Longtan".
Calling Qian Zhuangfei "Longtan Sanjie" shows that he is one of the best red agents in our party, Qian Zhuangfei was born in 1895, he is a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang. Influenced by progressive ideas when Qian Zhuangfei grew up, he joined our party in 1925 and officially became a member of our party. However, in that era of inconvenient communication, Qian Zhuangfei lost contact with the party organization shortly after joining the party.
In order to make a living, Qian Zhuangfei came to Shanghai and was admitted to the Wuhan Radio Training Class with the first place. At that time, Xu Enzeng, who was in charge of the Central Unification, was also a native of Zhejiang, and qian Zhuangfei was a fellow villager, and the radio training class that Qian Zhuangfei was admitted to was a secret service organization affiliated with the Kuomintang and was managed by Xu Enzeng. Seeing that Qian Zhuangfei was such an excellent student, Xu En, as a fellow countryman, wanted to transfer Qian Zhuangfei to his side.
Later, with the approval of the party organization, Qian Zhuangfei became Xu Enzeng's confidential secretary, and at the same time, Qian Zhuangfei also introduced the other two Li Kenong of the "Three Masters of Longtan" to Xu Enzeng together with Hu Di, and the three of them broke into the Intelligence System of the Kuomintang and became red agents on the hidden front.
Qian Zhuangfei was cautious, bold and careful, and could be called the best agent, so he gradually gained the trust of Xu Enzeng, but Qian Zhuangfei was eventually exposed, why was this? It turned out that when Gu Shunzhang defected in 1931, he confessed a lot of secrets of our party. Gu Shunzhang has been in a high position for a long time and holds many important secrets of our party, and his rebellion has put the organization in danger of extinction.
After Gu Shunzhang's defection, he immediately gave up a lot of important secrets, and explained to the Central Unification personnel at that time, remember not to send a telegram to Xu Enzeng. Because Gu Shunzhang knew that Qian Zhuangfei was lurking next to Xu Enzeng, if he sent a telegram to Qian Zhuangfei, he would definitely intercept the telegram at the first time.
However, the Central Unification personnel at that time did not trust Gu Shunzhang at all, and sent six telegrams to Xu Enzeng at the first time. These six telegrams all arrived in Qian Zhuangfei's hands, and Qian Zhuangfei was shocked after reading them, and then he told the party organization the news regardless of the danger to his personal life, and asked the party organization to transfer it as soon as possible. After that, the organization was transferred in a timely manner and was preserved. Gu Shunzhang's defection caused serious losses to our party, but because of the wealth and strong flight, this loss was reduced to a minimum.
However, because of this incident, Qian Zhuangfei was exposed, after which Qian Zhuangfei calmly left Xu Enzeng and returned to the party organization. In 1934, after the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, the Red Army began the Long March, and Qian Zhuangfei also followed the Red Army to participate in the Long March. During the Long March, in April 1935, Qian Zhuangfei mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Looking at Qian Zhuangfei's life, it was definitely a magnificent life, although his life was short but absolutely brilliant, he was willing to risk his life to lurk around the enemy after joining the party organization, delivered important information for our party at a critical moment, saved the party organization, and made important contributions to the party organization.
In 2009, Qian Zhuangfei was named one of the 100 heroic and exemplary figures who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China, which is also well-deserved for the hero.
