"Born to Spy" shows readers an extremely special character - the spy Huashan. He was born in a military family and became mentally disturbed after his father was persecuted to death. Since then, he has embarked on a long road to find his father, fight against madness and enter the top level of China's national security. His career has intersected with China's revolution and reform and opening up, Japan's Great Depression and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, nuclear disarmament and nuclear sanctions, terrorism and the war on terror, and major changes in China's foreign policy and military strategy towards Russia, the United States, Taiwan, Vietnam, North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Israel, Laos, Vietnam and other countries and regions.
