two consecutive paragraphs:

"In front of a wall carved with relief sculptures stand four statues of prominent agents. These are Wu Shi, a Nationalist general who became Taiwan’s deputy defense minister; his two deputies, Chen Baocang and Nie Xi; and Zhu Feng, a woman who had been sent to collect intelligence from General Wu, whose allegiance had shifted to the Communists. Ms. Zhu’s remains were found by a researcher in Taiwan and sent back to the Chinese mainland in 2011.

"The four were exposed when Cai Xiaoqian, a leader of the underground Communist Party in Taiwan, was captured and revealed the names of hundreds of agents. The group was accused of passing on extensive details about plans to defend Taiwan against an invasion from mainland China. All four were executed on June 10, 1950.
