During the Republic of China era, intelligence agencies such as the Military Statistics Bureau, the Central Statistics Bureau, and No. 76 engaged in covert struggles. In this unique and turbulent situation in Chinese history, frequent assassinations and the ambiguous, deceptive human hearts provided later literary and artistic creators with ample room for imagination and inspiration. Starting from the autobiographical recollections of Sun Yaodong, the confidential secretary of Zhou Fohai, why was No. 76 born on Jessfield Road? How did the Wang Jingwei regime and the Military Statistics Bureau shift from the peak of bloody vendettas to the Chongqing side using the Wang Jingwei government for peace negotiations? How did the Military Statistics Bureau, whose success or failure rested solely on Dai Li, go from its zenith to decline? Please listen to this episode's insightful sharing by Sha Qingqing.
