Han Zidong (1908— 1992), a native of yanggu county, Shandong Province, is the prototype of Hua, one of the main characters in the red classic novel Red Rock. During 1930, Han Zidong went to Beijing to study from his hometown. Because of his poor family, he had to work part-time, work in a bookstore, and attend lectures in the Economics Department of China University.

It was while working as a clerk in a bookstore that he got to know the underground party member and was absorbed into the Communist Party of China (CPC) on 1932. Because of the student's public identity, he was quickly ordered to infiltrate the undercover of the Kuomintang secret service organization "Blue Clothes Club", went deep into the core of enemy agents, and intercepted a lot of important information.

Two years later, the underground party organization in Beiping was destroyed, and Han Zidong was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned. The secret service hates the red scout who got in, and often tortures and destroys him in every way in an attempt to open a gap from him. Han Zidong's perseverance and strict secrecy made the spy helpless. The Kuomintang authorities listed him as a political prisoner and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
