Intelligence Work Experience Of Yuan Shu(1931-1945)

As the grassroots intelligence agent, Yuan Shu experienced all kinds of party history related events including Chinese Civil War and Sino-Japanese War from1931to1945. After experiencing courses of history from "Five Martyrs of Leftist Writers","Strange westerners’ case" to "the Whole Intelligence Work to Japanese of Pan Hannian", his own historical evaluation is full of contradictions and disputes when he turned himself into a communist party spy with many facets from an ordinary journalist.Till now, there are two opposite opinions about his evaluation. The first one mainly focuses on Yuan Shu’s arrest because of the Pan Hannian Case, and the Party gave him the reversal until1982. This opinion holds the idea that Yuan Shu was actually a spy, traitor, and Japanese agent of Kuo Min Tang sneaking on the Communist Party. The other idea mainly focuses on the period after the reform and opening-up policy, and the main evaluation is that he was loyal to the revolution, got deep behind our enemies, also he was a brave and excellent communist intelligence agent.The writer does not agree with these two ideas. He made an outstanding contribution to the Communist Party, as he was the first one to report the news of "Five Martyrs of Leftist Writer", also he made great contributions to obtain the information for the Communist Party and make strategic disposition. However, his political stain was also obvious, as he was expelled from the Communist Party because of his betrayal, and his real intention was not concealed as he did a lot of damage to the New Fourth Army during the Japanese aggression against China. Therefore, the writer holds the idea that whatever people criticize or praise him in the past time, Yuan Shu, as the intelligence personnel with flesh and blood, his ambiguous actions would definitely cover some real responsibility and motivation, and such psychological motives kept changing during the process of the interaction between history and himself.The current article used the historical deduction method to analyze the whole intelligence work experience of Yuan Shu from several perspectives. His complex mental states behind his actions were revealed. He not only had the confidence in the victory of the Communist Party, but also kept the ambition for his career success. Yuan Shu was not a revolutionist with determined faith, but a confident gambler who bet his whole life on the judgment of the political situation. The success of his intelligence work lies in his excellent social skills and the correct judgment of historical trends. And the reason why he was sent to prison in his late life was because of his wrong judgment of the revolutionary regime. Through the analysis of Yuan Shu’s intelligence work, the current article restored the true situation of a grass-roots agent struggling between real wars and ideological battles.
