Based on the "John Bingham" novel of the same name, it is also the TV version of "The Tailor of Panama". It turns out that John Bingham admitted to being a spy.
In addition to rich imagination, is "personal experience" the best material for a novel? Agence France-Presse quoted London's "Times" interview record, the secret of the big-bang novelist John Le Carré: It turns out that a series of best-selling spy detective novels he wrote were based on his own experience in his youth.
Le Carré’s works include "Spy from the Cold", "The Potmaker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ", "Mirror Wars", and "Panama Tailor" which was adapted into a movie.
The 69-year-old Le Carré said in an interview that he found activities such as sneaking into other people’s homes or sending secret messages were very stimulating and difficult to resist. Therefore, when he was a student, he was recruited by British intelligence agencies to engage in secret work. It became the source of inspiration for some later novels.
He described that he had the spirit of being a "knight" since he was a child. When he was keen to participate in the activities of the British community at the University of Berne, he was assisted by a diplomat in intelligence operations. Although most of his tasks are just hanging around on the streets of Geneva, handing someone a package, or finding a man holding last week's Time magazine, he feels like the greatest spy in the world.
Le Carré, whose real name is Cornwell, later returned to Lincoln College in Oxford. Rumors about him as a spy during this time have been around for years, but he never came forward to confirm.
This time he broke his silence and confirmed that he was in charge of scouting the students in the school during this period to find out if there were any leftists who were gathered by the Soviet Union at the time. Although this job feels very heavy, he still enjoys the intriguing excitement of spy work. Lincoln College later awarded him honorary alumni recognition in 1984.
After finishing his student career, his espionage work has even developed. He has been recruited by the British army and civil organizations at different times to serve as intelligence work. From 1960 to 1964, he was a British diplomat stationed in Bonn, Germany, but he continued to perform underground missions. He was in West Germany when the Berlin Wall was built, and based on his experience at the time, he completed the famous novel "Spy from the Cold".
