Of Hebei origin, air-force officer retiree, Mr. Chou, now diligently learning Taiwanese, met "Chang Jiang No. 1," China's top secret agent during the Sino-Japanese war, in a Peking opera'-seminar. Chou's dull life then had a spark. He started to talk about the heroic feats of this "Chang Jiang No.1." .
