Synopsis

Zheng Yaoxian, an ace agent of the Kuomintang's Military Statistics Bureau (Juntong) in Chongqing, is known for his cunning, resourcefulness, and ruthlessness. In truth, he is “Kite,” a Communist agent embedded in Juntong. To ensure that “Kite” remains a sharp knife lodged in the enemy’s heart and can deliver a fatal blow to the Kuomintang at the most critical moment, Zheng has no choice but to become Juntong’s Sixth Brother—a man his own comrades believe deserves death. The sacrifice of his handler leaves him out of contact with the organization. After the liberation, he assumes the alias Zhou Zhiqian, a retained Kuomintang employee, and continues to provide important intelligence to the organization in his own unique way. Even after the organization confirms his identity as “Kite,” he continues to work covertly, assisting the Public Security Bureau in cracking numerous cases involving hidden enemy agents. Over a more than thirty-year career as an intelligence officer, he is long pursued by his enemies and endures separation from his wife and children. To him, being an intelligence officer means sacrifice, and for a person to be worthy of sacrificing himself for the country is the best proof of his own value.
