Zhang Ziyi's body double admits to being PLA spy
In the movie "The Banquet," 31-year-old Chinese actress Shao Xiaoshan,
was body double for female lead Zhang Ziyi,
Shao has revealed on her blog that she was a spy for 14 years,
responsible for gathering information for the PLA intelligence department.
She said the Chinese government hadn't paid her for years, and had threatened her with torture.
(Shao) "It's like living in hell in China, so I'd rather let it all out."
She said she offended a deputy minister in charge of information gathering in 2003, and had been harrassed by him ever since,
which included blocking calls with her fiancé in the US,
preventing her from seeking political asylum.
She later dated the son of the French ambassador,
and was forced to use her looks to steal information.
Her mobile phone was also monitored,
and even her taxi drivers were monitoring her.
(Shao) "These posts will see me end up in 216 military psychiatric hospital and jail for sure,
but I don't want to die without anyone knowing the real reason."
Shao also heaped scorn on the Chinese government in a series of posts.
Her agent Gao Jun told Apple Daily yesterday that
Shao was just letting off steam after a few drinks.
But Shao yesterday insisted that she was not making it up.
Gao took Shao away from her residence and they are currently out of contact.
