More than 70 years ago, two American spies infiltrated Tsinghua University in China as professors, and the two lurked for many years, and finally were rescued by a student.
After being arrested, the two reluctantly admitted that they were U.S. naval spies. Their main task in coming to China is to sabotage in secret.
The Chinese names of the two American spies, one named Li Ke and the other named Li You'an, the two were husband and wife.
They came to China in 1948, and at first they lived in Shanghai, but then they felt that Shanghai was too chaotic, so they came to Beiping. After living for a while, the couple mixed into Tsinghua University because of their relatively high level of knowledge and served as teachers in the Department of Foreign Chinese Literature.
During their tenure, Li Ke and Li Youan tried to contact the students and often gave them some gifts. Therefore, the students liked these two teachers from the United States and always spoke actively during class. Because of their relatively good performance, Li Ke and Li Youan later received awards from the school.
According to the regulations at that time, the bonuses for the two men every month added up to about $150. It wasn't a lot of money, but it was a huge amount at the time. At that time, intellectuals who were professors at Tsinghua University were paid only $20 a month.
The bonus of Mr. and Mrs. Li Ke is equivalent to 7 times the salary of an ordinary professor. In addition to this money, the Li Kes often receive funding from the U.S. government, which is the funding of their activities in China and the sugar-coated shells that corrupt the traitors.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Ke always used the name of eating to communicate with the students in the school. If they find someone weak-willed, they will secretly tempt and use some inflammatory language to continue to corrupt his mind and gradually turn him into an instrument of the United States.
In this way, the Li Kes did seduce some people who were not determined, but their sugar-coated shells were not always useful. Once, the couple took a fancy to Ying Ruocheng, who was only in his 20s, and instead of succeeding in corrosion, they planted a big heel.
Ying Ruocheng is a student at Tsinghua University's School of Foreign Chinese, and Li Ke and Li You'an happen to be his foreign language teachers. Because of their studies, the two sides often contacted each other. Taking advantage of the opportunity of exchange, Li Ke and his wife passed on many wrong ideas to Yingruocheng and tried to transform him into a "pro-American element".
Although Yingruocheng is very willing to learn more knowledge and further improve his ability. But his thoughts did not waver in the slightest.
He knew very well that everything he had was given by the motherland, and he could not betray the motherland no matter what. Therefore, no matter how much the Li Ke couple seduced, YingRuocheng did not take it seriously.
In 1950, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, the central leadership decided to carry out a large-scale anti-counter-movement to arrest as many counter-revolutionaries as possible and eliminate the factors of instability. This town counter-movement is a very pleasant and good thing for ordinary people, but it is a huge threat to spies like Li Ke and his wife.
Because the couple had a ghost in their hearts, they always wanted to find an opportunity to leave China as soon as possible, but before they could escape, they were detected by the relevant departments as abnormal, and there was no opportunity to go through the departure procedures.
However, the two were not directly arrested, their public identities, after all, are professors at Tsinghua University, and if they are arrested without evidence, it is easy to cause unnecessary problems.
Therefore, the staff of the Ministry of Security, which is responsible for investigating the spy, decided to find a right-hand man to secretly search for evidence.
The staff inquired for a long time and found Ying Ruocheng, who had been in close contact with Li You'an and his wife. Ying Ruocheng, who had long been suspicious of the couple, quickly agreed to the staff's request after getting in touch with the staff of the state security department. Take the initiative to contact The Li Ke and his wife and secretly search for evidence of their crimes.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Ke have always felt that Ying Ruocheng is a young student who can be easily fooled, and they are not too defensive about him. This negligent thought gave Ying Ruocheng a good opportunity, and after a period of secret investigation around the two, he found enough evidence.
Eventually, he submitted all of this evidence to the national security services. The staff in charge of the case, after obtaining this intelligence information, immediately took action against Li Ke and his wife.
When they first became prisoners, the couple was still reluctant to cooperate, and even tried to use their status as foreigners to avoid punishment. After struggling for a while, they realized that it was all futile. In the face of overwhelming evidence, they simply cannot absolve themselves of responsibility.
Just when the couple hesitated, another small episode changed their minds. Once, after his trial, Li Ke returned to his room where he was being held, grabbed a cookie from the table and ate it, and it didn't take long for his stomach to start hurting.
Fortunately, the comrade in charge of supervising Li Ke found the abnormality in time and sent him to the hospital, otherwise he would have lost his life due to food poisoning.
Later, our security services, after many investigations, caught a spy lurking inside our side. The man's main task was to get rid of the Li Kes so that they would not leak classified Information about the United States.
In order to express their remorse, the couple also published a special book. The book is called "Self-Description of Two American Spies", and the two have written a lot of details in this book, which has certain historical research value.
The cadres in charge of security work used the clues provided by the couple to arrest some traitors with distorted thinking in the form of a smooth vine, which stabilized the situation in the country a lot.
It is worth mentioning that after the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Li Ke, they also received ideological education in our country. Their thinking gradually changed, and finally they made a blatant statement and broke with the U.S. government once and for all. After being imprisoned for a period of time, Mr. and Mrs. Li Ke received a state amnesty for their relatively good performance and had the opportunity to regain their freedom.
After returning to the United States, the couple completely changed their minds and publicized China's various benefits everywhere, hoping that more Americans would abandon their original absurd ideas and view China with a relatively objective attitude.
Ying Ruocheng, who once secretly collected evidence and sent the couple to prison, was impressed by the transformation of the couple. The two sides finally shook hands and made peace, leaving no hidden dangers.
Later, YingRuocheng became a famous film and television star because of his hard work, and many of his works are quite classic and worthy of careful savoring by future generations.
