On this day, 85 years ago, on February 10, 1940 (January 3, 1940, the legendary female agent of "Lust, Caution" died. The film "Lust, Caution" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture at the 64th Venice Film Festival. Zheng Pingru, the prototype of the novel's heroine Wang Jiazhi, also emerged from the dust of history. What is unknown is that this legendary "female spy" is from Lanxi. She is a famous beauty in Shanghai who came from the family of a senior Kuomintang official. She is also a Chinese-Japanese anti-Japanese female martyr. Zheng Pingru was born in 1918 and is of mixed blood between China and Japan. She was a celebrity in Shanghai, and the largest pictorial in Shanghai,"Good Friends Pictorial", used her as a cover girl. After the fall of Shanghai, he secretly joined the Central Government and used his unique conditions to mix among Japanese and puppet personnel to obtain intelligence. Later, he participated in the assassination of Ding Mo Village, the head of the Japanese puppet spy agency, and exposed his identity and was arrested. He insisted that he was trapped by love and hired a murderer to kill people, which became one of the major tidbits of Shanghai Beach at that time. In February 1940, he was secretly executed in a wasteland beside Zhongshan Road in western Shanghai. He was shot three times in a row. He was 23 years old at the time. Zheng Pingru's father, Zheng Yue, also known as Yingbo, studied at Hosei University in Japan in his early years. He followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to run for the revolution and joined the League. He can be said to be a veteran of the Kuomintang. While in Tokyo, he met Hanako Kimura, a famous Japanese girl. Hanako sympathized with the China revolution. After the two got married, Hanako returned to China with her husband and changed her name to Zheng Huajun. They have two sons and three daughters. Zheng Pingru is the second daughter. She has been smart and understanding since childhood, and has learned fluent Japanese from her mother. After returning to China, Zheng Yingbo served as a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai and served as the chief prosecutor of the Second Branch of the Jiangsu High Court. When Zheng Pingru was studying at Mingguang Middle School, Ding Mocun was the principal of this middle school, so the two had the friendship of teachers and students. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zheng Pingru resolutely participated in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement. After the fall of Shanghai, she took advantage of her superior conditions (good social connections and excellent Japanese ability) to work underground in the fight against Japan. She joined the Central Government when she was only 19 years old. She was in the mood for love and graceful. She was a famous beauty on Shanghai Beach. At that time, the most important and influential pictorial book in China-"Good Friends" Pictorial, used her as the cover girl in the 130th issue of July 1937. It was just because of her special identity that she only called "Ms. Zheng" without her full name. Zheng Pingru was an excellent intelligence officer. She relied on her mother's connections to deal with senior officials among the Japanese invaders. She once had a close relationship with Hayamui, the peace talks representative sent by Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimo to Shanghai. Then through Hayamui's introduction, she met Konoe Fumo's sons Konoe Fumo and Tadamo Konoe, as well as Takeo Imai, deputy chief of staff of the Central China Dispatch Army, and others. She once wanted to kidnap the Japanese Prime Minister's son Fumitaka Konoe. After Wen Long, the guard, fell in love with Zheng Pingru. "If we control Buntaka Konoe, wouldn't we be able to force the Japanese Prime Minister to make a truce and make concessions?" She probably had this consideration. But her superiors ordered her to stop this dangerous game, and Wentaka Konoe unknowingly escaped the fate of political vote. In high school, Zheng Pingru learned important intelligence that Wang Jingwei was "about to move" and reported it to Chongqing through secret radio stations. Unfortunately, the government did not pay attention to it at first. It was not until Wang Jingwei left Chongqing to join the enemy that Zheng Pingru had already grasped this intelligence, so the government relied heavily on her. Therefore, they handed her the important task of sanctioning the traitor Dingmo Village. Ding Mo Village was originally a hungry ghost, and she was naturally overjoyed to meet Zheng Pingru, who was as beautiful as a flower. Zheng Pingru pretended to be a young girl who had not been deeply involved in the world and from time to time, relying on her pampering and coquettishly. She kept Ding Mo Village from time to time, making Ding Mo Village salivate and fascinated. Seeing that the time was ripe, the Central Tong made arrangements. In the first operation, Zheng Pingru invited Ding Mo Village to visit her home and arranged sniper personnel near Zheng's house. However, Ding Mo Village was full of tricks. When his car was about to reach Zheng's house, he changed his mind and turned around and left, and the plan failed. At this time, Zhang Ruijing was the person in charge of Zhongtong's Shanghai District. He re-planned the second "Ding stabbing". He arranged for Zheng Pingru to trap Dingmo Village in a Siberian leather store on the grounds of purchasing leather coats. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruijing was arrested by Li Shiqun at this time. Zhang and Li had a relationship. When Zhang He told the truth about the "Ding Sting" plan, it hit the heart of Li Shiqun and his wife. In order to prevent the deeds from leaking out, they first protected Zhang Ruijing. However, Zhongtong Shanghai District saw that there was no abnormality, so the original plan was implemented as usual. On December 21, 1939, Dingmo Village had lunch at a friend's house in Huxi. He called Zheng Pingru to attend. Zheng rushed to Huxi to accompany Dingmo Village until evening. Ding said she was going to Hongkou and Zheng said she was going to Nanjing Road, so the two of them drove in the same car. When the car drove to the Siberian leather goods stores on Jing 'an Road and Gordon Road (now Jiangning Road), Zheng Pingru suddenly proposed to buy a leather coat and asked Ding Mo Village to get off the car with her to help her choose it. Dingmo Village's professional reaction is to go to a place that is not previously agreed upon and stay for no more than half an hour. Logically speaking, there should be no danger. She thought that Zheng's insistence on asking him to go with him was just to take the opportunity to rip him off. So he followed her off the bus, but while Zheng was selecting leather coats, Dingmo Village suddenly noticed two suspicious-looking people in short clothes outside the glass window, looking at him. When Ding saw that something was wrong, he took out a stack of banknotes from his big pocket, threw it on the glass counter, and said,"You pick it yourself. I'll go first." After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran out. Zheng saw Dingmo Village suddenly running out. He was stunned at first. He wanted to chase him out, but after taking two steps, he stopped again. At this time, the Zhongtong secret agent wandering on the sidewalk outside the store did not expect that Dingmo Village would suddenly rush out of the store before picking up the things. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and asked him to rush across the road. When Ding's driver saw him rushing out, he had already started the engine and opened the car door. By the time the gunshot sounded, he had already gotten into the car and closed the door. The bullet hit the bulletproof door. He walked away unscathed. However, the sniper personnel sent by Li Shiqun were only "assisting" elements, so they did not contribute much, and the assassination operation was a failure. But for Zheng Pingru, she was unwilling and lucky, so she decided to go deep into the tiger's den and kill the enemy alone. So she continued to pretend to be coquettish with Dingmo Village, but secretly hid a Browning pistol and was ready to wait for an opportunity to attack. However, she did not know that Dingmo Village had already laid a net and was waiting for her to take the bait. Therefore, on the third day, when Zheng Pingru drove to No. 76 to meet Ding Mo Village, she was detained by Ding's confidant Lin Zhijiang, and she was put in cell No. 76. Li Shiqun's wife, Ye Jiqing, soon learned the news. She sent She Aizhen and Shen Gengmei to interrogate her. Dingmo Village naturally couldn't stop her. Zheng Pingru denied her relationship with Zhongtong and only admitted that she assassinated Ding Mo Village because she was unwilling to be played with. Although Ding Mocun hated Zheng Pingru for participating in his murder, he was really obsessed with her beauty. Therefore, he did not want to kill her. He just wanted to lock her up for a while before letting her out. However, Ding Mo Village's wife Zhao Huimin secretly found Lin Zhijiang and gave him advice face-to-face. So Zheng Pingru was secretly transferred to the Fourth Route Command of the "Peace National Salvation Army" at No. 37 Yidingpan Road. Even Ding Mo Village and Li Shiqun knew about this. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon on February 10, 1940, Lin Zhijiang invited Zheng Pingru out of his cell and falsely claimed that Dingmo Village was looking for her. The car made seven turns and came to a wasteland next to Zhongshan Road in West Shanghai. Zheng Pingru was shot three times in a row and fell. She was only 23 years old when she died. According to records, Zheng Pingru looked calm before her execution. She said to the executioner: "Be clean and don't make me a mess." After Zheng Pingru died, Mr. Zheng Zhenduo once praised her: "It is more heroic than dying on the battlefield!" On June 6, 2009, the bronze commemorative statue of Zheng Pingru, the prototype of the heroine in the movie "Lust, Caution", was unveiled at Shanghai Fushou Garden, recreating the true image of this once-suffering heroine in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The base of the sculpture is a tilted cross structure. The horizontal background simulates the assassination of the traitor Dingmo Village by a Siberian leather shop. The sculptor uses a simulated binding shape to recreate the scene of Zheng Pingru going to die. In 1924, Zheng Pingru's family took a photo of Zheng Pingru on campus. In July 1937, Zheng Pingru's photo was published on the cover of the 130th issue of "Good Friends" magazine. Comments: They are all female spies, Yoshiko Kawashima, Li Xianglan, and Zheng Pingru. The three women live in the same era. After all, they were all famous for a while and have some connections. Li Xianglan has long known Yoshiko Kawashima. Coincidentally, Li Xianglan's real name, Shuko, pronounced "Yoshiko" in Japanese, and Yoshiko also pronounced "Yoshiko". Therefore, Li Xianglan called Fangzi Brother (because Fangzi liked to dress up as a man at that time, Fangzi called herself by Li Xianglan). They had a good relationship and often had contact until Li Xianglan left Manchuria. The connection between Li Xianglan and Zheng Pingru still comes from Zhang Ailing. Shortly before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Xianglan came to Shanghai. Under the call of the puppet regime, Zhang Ailing and Li Xianglan met. The Japanese hoped that Zhang Ailing would write a movie script specifically for Li Xianglan. Zhang hesitated. At that time, she was already writing "Lust, Caution" about Zheng Pingru assassinating traitors, and traitors were so vague to her.
