The TV series "Latent" has been well-known since it was released in China. The protagonist, a communist fighter played by Yu Zecheng, has always been engaged in life-and-death underground work. If he is not careful, he will be exposed and die. He stole very important intelligence information for the central government and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the war.

In the play, Yu Zecheng has a wise saying: "The Chinese hate the traitors more than they hate the Japanese." This is a true portrayal of the people's hearts in China when the people were in dire straits at that time. It was precisely because of the "traitors" that " The emergence of "traitors" enabled the enemy to master many important clues and intelligence, and a large number of communists were massacred as a result, so the people hated the traitors deeply.

So, there are "Han traitors" in China, and are there "Japanese traitors" in Japan? It is said that even if the probability of such a thing happening is low, it is still possible. In history, there have been "Japanese traitors" in Japan. They operated secretly, stole information, and passed it to the underground organizations of the Communist Party of China. , fighting for the cause of Japanese property owners, among whom the representative figure is Ozaki Hidemi.

Speaking of Ozaki Hidemi, we have to talk about his research on China. Before the end of World War II, among the many Japanese studies on China, Ozaki Hidemi’s research was the most in-depth and had the most perspective. His uniqueness, coupled with his communist connotation and his status as a cabinet senator, make his statements often difficult to distinguish between true and false. Of course, this is mainly because he has a special understanding of Chinese culture since he was a child.

Hidemi Ozaki was born in 1901. This authentic Japanese followed his father to Taiwan as soon as he was born. In 1922, in his early twenties, he was admitted to the University of Tokyo and began to study Marxism. Research.

He has been particularly interested in Chinese culture since he was a child. He would recite "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" when he was very young. When he grew up and started working, got married and had children, he did not forget to educate his children: "Chinese It’s our family skill.”

There are three main reasons why Hidemi Ozaki is so keen on studying Chinese culture: First, Hidemi Ozaki’s father and grandfather are researchers of Chinese literature and have taught in universities for a long time. His family background of Chinese literature education gave him the soil to be exposed to Chinese culture from an early age.

Second, Hidemi Ozaki followed his parents to Taiwan since he was a child. It can be said that he spent all his teenage years in Taiwan, which enhanced his understanding and integration of China.

In 1922, one year after the birth of the Communist Party of China, the Japanese Communist Party was born immediately. Like their compatriots all over the world, they believed in communism and for the cause of communism around the world.

Because China is a close neighbor and China has a profound and profound culture with a long history, Ozaki Hidemi has a special liking for China and is very interested in China's existing problems of coexistence of nationalities. He has been looking for opportunities to come to China and make contact with the Communist Party of China.

In 1926, Ozaki Hidemi, who graduated from university, entered the Asahi Shimbun, the most influential newspaper in Japan at the time. Since he had been studying Chinese culture, the Japanese Communist Party decided to send a When a commissioner came to China to contact the Communist Party of China, he was the first thing that came to mind.

Due to the impact of the U.S. economic crisis in 1921, Japan suffered unprecedented heavy losses. Japan was filled with strong dissatisfaction. The Japanese ruling class with a strong military mentality had long planned to use aggression to divert domestic conflicts. All " The ideas of "militarist", "emperor" and "fascist" were infected with each other within the government and spread rapidly.

Ozaki Hidemi and Japan’s communist fighters had already seen through the conspiracy of Japan’s top leaders, and he had a special understanding of China, so when the organization decided to send a communist to China When getting in touch with the Communist Party of China, the best candidate was none other than Hidemi Ozaki.

In 1926, Ozaki Hidemi came to Shanghai alone. Compared with Japan, China's "relatively relaxed" political environment gave this young man from Japan a sufficient stage to display his talents.

At that time in Shanghai, the left-wing cultural movement was in full swing. A group of elites represented by Lu Xun often held gatherings and alliances to promote ideas. Ozaki Hidemi took this opportunity to have a large number of contacts with left-wing art people, and he He was also highly appreciated by the cultural giant Lu Xun.

Due to the needs of the war, Chinese culture is often demonized and exaggerated in Japan. As a result, when Chinese culture is mentioned in Japan, everyone from the royal family to the common people regards it as a scourge. In order to avoid this impression, Ozaki Hide recorded the lives of Chinese people truthfully. The article is deeply permeated with great respect for the kindness and simplicity of the Chinese people at the bottom.

At that time, Mr. Lu Xun's masterpiece "The True Story of Ah Q" had been published and caused an uproar in the country. Due to the situation, local magazines and newspapers in China did not dare to expose the meaning of this article, and the Nationalist Government At this time, they tried every means to prevent the article from leaking out, so as to prevent it from bringing negative influence to the Kuomintang in the international community.

Mr. Lu Xun was very anxious and at a loss at this time. At this time, the young Ozaki Hidemi took the initiative to find Lu Xun and claimed that he could try to complete the work.

So Ozaki Hide used the pen name "Osaki" and translated the full Japanese version of "The True Story of Ah Q". In order to translate and proofread the article, he often visited Mr. Lu Xun, and the two became friends. I got off the New Year's Eve.

Lu Xun once praised this Japanese young man to a friend: "Although Ozaki Hidemi is from Japan, he is knowledgeable, open-minded, honest, honest, and very reliable." So under the guidance and recommendation of Lu Xun, he was fortunate enough to end a large number of literati fighters in the country at that time. Such as Xia Yan, Wang Xuewen, Tian Han and so on.

Hidemi Ozaki was deeply touched by the vigorous development of the Communist Party of China. In his view, only communism can bring peace to the world, and the idea of ??military aggression is hateful, even if this idea of ??aggression comes from his home country. During this period, Ozaki Hidemi published many far-reaching works under the pen name Shirakawa Jiro. He even sent some manuscripts back to Japan for publication in the Asahi Shimbun.

In addition to carrying out these intelligence transmission and feedback tasks, Ozaki Hidemi also actively organized the Japanese Communist Party in China, bringing everyone together, holding meetings to mobilize, persuading, and then using relationships to bring them together. Lurking into various important military and political departments of Japan in China.

In December 1936, progressives Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched the Xi'an Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries. The Japanese press at that time frantically exaggerated the incident and exaggerated it. Even the Asahi Shimbun The big news agency still reported: "More than 3,000 rebels rebelled in Xi'an. Chiang Kai-shek's residence was attacked by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. Chiang Kai-shek has been killed because of his deep personal grudges with Zhang Xueliang."

At this time, Ozaki Hide was able to overcome all opinions and reported the entire process and details of the "Xi'an Incident" in a very objective and detailed manner, and deeply analyzed the background, significance and final safety of Chiang Kai-shek. It can be said that without his truthful reporting, Japan’s domestic calls for “taking advantage of the situation” and quickly annexing China would have become louder and louder.

Due to work needs, Ozaki Hidemi was transferred back to Japan in 1932. On the cruise ship returning to Japan, he met a Japanese colleague who also fought for the cause of communism in China-Nakanishi Ko.

Through communication, Ozaki Hidemi was very impressed by the performance of the young man in front of him. Zhongxi Gong was deeply influenced by Wang Xuewen and had a strong interest in Marxism-Leninism. He even joined the Communist Party of China early. Youth League, the two hit it off and had an in-depth discussion on the current situation in China.

Ozaki Hidemi felt that the young man in front of him was very advanced in thinking and extremely determined, so he began to teach him to slowly engage in espionage work. Since then, Nakanishi Isao passed information to Ozaki Hidemi many times, and the two interacted with each other. Cooperate and work secretly for the Communist Party of China.

In 1934, under the introduction of Hidemi Ozaki, Isao Nakanishi joined the South Manchuria Railway. On the surface, the South Manchuria Railway was Japan's railway transportation organization in China, but its inside story should not be underestimated. This agency is an important spy intelligence agency installed by Japan in China, and can even be compared with the CIA of the United States at that time.

Zhongxi Gong lived up to expectations here and collected a large amount of important information and passed it to the Communist Party of China in a timely manner. Especially in 1941, after returning to Shanghai, Nakanishi Gong discovered the shocking secret that Japan would launch a surprise attack on the United States in the Pacific while reading Japanese materials.

The Communist Party of China, which received the news, also reported this information to Stalin of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union responded immediately, adjusted its forces, and ultimately won the battle to defend Moscow.

It can be said that Ozaki Hidemi is the leader of Nakanishi Kung. Without Ozaki Hidemi's recommendation and leadership, Nakanishi Kung, as a genius agent, would not have been able to achieve such great achievements.

In 1936, due to a job change, Ozaki returned to Japan. In view of his special status as a "China expert", he quickly became famous in Japanese political circles, which also provided information for his later intelligence. Work provides great convenience.

In 1937, Ozaki Hidemi was favored by the Prime Minister for his outstanding work performance, and became the personal advisor and secretary of Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro. From then on, he was exposed to more and more state secrets , is becoming more and more important. In order to win the trust of the Prime Minister, Ozaki Hidemi had to publicly express that if we want to completely solve the problem of East Asia Collaboration Theory, we can only completely defeat China. Giving up halfway is not feasible.

Behind the scenes, Ozaki Hidemi successively sent important national intelligence secrets to the Communist Party of China. His intelligence attracted great attention from the central government. Even Chairman Mao knew that this person was He played a major role in the Anti-Japanese War and admired him greatly. His intelligence has very important participation value in the strategic deployment of the Communist Party of China and even Stalin's strategic deployment of the Soviet Union.

During this period, German agent Sorge established the internationally famous "Ramza Group", which brought together spy elites from all over the world. Although they had different nationalities and identities, they had different identities because of their People with the same beliefs come together. One of the core members of this organization, known as the "Red Spy King", was Hidemi Ozaki, who was then the advisor to the Prime Minister of Japan.

On the one hand, Ozaki cannot bear to see the Chinese people in dire straits because of his beloved faith. On the other hand, his compatriots in his own country are also suffering from a lack of supplies and the people are living in dire straits. So in order to speed up the end of the war, Ozaki aroused a crazy idea in his mind.

In 1941, Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, as the main militant, fully supported the war of aggression against China. If he wanted to speed up the end of the war, the only way was to uproot the Konoe government, so Ozaki planned to blow himself up. By exposing himself and bringing about a storm of public opinion, he destroyed the Imperial Guards.

After learning his true thoughts, all his comrades and compatriots strongly opposed it, but Ozaki, who had made up his mind, had long been ready to "dedicate himself to the cause of communism."

This year, Sorge's true identity was exposed. Ozaki, who originally had the opportunity to escape to China, took a fancy to this opportunity. After weighing the pros and cons, he did not hesitate to deliberately leak his secret to the special agent. In high school, Ozaki was formally arrested by the Japanese government shortly after.

In 1944, Japanese fascist soldiers hanged Ozaki, and Ozaki Hidemi became the only communist fighter executed as a "traitor" in Japan during World War II.

Hidemi Ozaki's life was full of ups and downs. If it had not been for the war years, he could have been a very friendly international friend to China and have long-term exchanges with China.

As a great communist fighter, Ozaki relied on his firm international beliefs and fearless martyrdom to live and die. He has been engaged in arduous underground work and endured the name of "traitor" all his life. The fearful Hidemi Ozaki will only fight for his own beliefs and values ??throughout his life.

Countries have borders, but revolutionary spirit and beliefs have no borders. We must bear in mind that today’s victory of communism is the result of countless heroes like Ozaki who sacrificed their lives In exchange, as long as communist fighters around the world unite and continue to move forward, the world will eventually usher in true peace.
