The hit espionage drama Silent Glory is set during the White Terror, when underground operatives on the isolated island met tragic and heroic deaths.
The main plot is adapted from historical events, but differs greatly from publicly available accounts.
The White Terror was only the tip of the iceberg in the career of the drama’s villain, Gu Zhengwen, an intelligence agent.
In truth, he was a treacherous turncoat, ruthless and vicious, with no limits in pursuit of his goals.
Robbery, kidnapping, murder, terrorist attacks, and displaying corpses in public,
were all among the despicable tricks he routinely employed.
His life was defined by betrayal, not faith, and his hands were stained with blood.
People called him the Living King of Hell.
He was the mastermind behind the White Terror. At least 3,000 underground party members were killed because of him, and nearly 10,000 people were sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
Let us begin in Beiping in 1946 and uncover, layer by layer, the mountain of blood debts owed by the villain, Director Gu.
