When they met, Xu Meihong was 26, a Chinese army officer, spy, and shining example of her country's best and brightest. Larry Engelmann, 47, was a rumpled history professor from California visiting China (just 10 months before the massacre at Tiananmen Square) as part of an academic exchange program. A true innocent abroad, he immediately began taking hundreds of pictures, showed his students "subversive" American films, and generally behaved as if he were in a free country.The Chinese viewed the oblivious professor with tremendous suspicion, and assigned one of their top officers, Xu Meihong, to spy on the suspected CIA agent.
