Li Xiuzhen (CNS/Wu Huican)
Witnessing inhumane conducts of Japanese soldiers, Li Xiuzhen, then 12, hated Japanese soldiers from bottom of her heart. Li felt it was necessary to fight against those invaders through helping Chinese soldiers.
A year later, her village was surrounded by Japanese army. She cursed the Japanese soldiers after she saw they killed two of her neighbors. She was then beaten and began to bleed. "I do not know anything," Li told the Japanese soldiers when they asked her the whereabouts of the supplies of Chinese army.
Taking advantage of her low age and disguised as a peddler, Li successfully collected and delivered intelligences to the guerrillas and screened them to get through barriers of Japanese soldiers. Li handed over a piece of intelligence to a guerrilla’s base near a Japanese stronghold without hesitation in 1942.
Besides, Li assisted local officials to remove a dirty agent in her village at the end of 1943.
Li secretly joined the communist party at the beginning of 1944 and continued to serve the anti-Japanese war.
