在取得执政地位之前,由于工作需要,中共的党员分为两种:一是公开身份的党员,二是不公开身份的秘密党员。不公开身份的秘密党员中,知名的有被称为前“龙潭三杰”的李克农、钱壮飞、胡底,被称为后“龙潭三杰”的熊向晖、申健、陈忠经,以及白崇禧身边的机要秘书谢和赓等。这些秘密党员和上级都是单线联系,有的直至病逝或牺牲,人们都不知道他是中共党员。 Prior to gaining the ruling position, due to work needs, there are two types of party members in the CCP: one is an open-member party and the other is a secret party member who is not known to the public. Among the secret members of the unopened identity, well-known are Xiong Xianghui, Shen Jian and Chen Zhongjing, who were known as “Longtan Sanjie” and formerly known as Li Ke-nong, Qian Zhuofei and Hu Di, formerly known as “Longtan Sanjie” , And Bai Chung-hsi’s secretaries around Xie Xie and others. These secret party members and their superiors all have one-way contact. Some people do not know that he is a member of the CCP until his death or sacrifice.
