The two were arrested in 1983 and charged with espionage. Shi and his “son,” whom he had purchased from a doctor in China, joined Boursicot in Paris, where Shi won acceptance in the French community with his cultural performances, even appearing on television. Boursicot turned over as many as 150 French embassy documents through Shi to the Chinese secret service before returning to France in the early 1980s. Shi convinced Boursicot that he was actually a woman disguised as a man, and the two began a love affair that continued for 20 years, during which time Shi also told Boursicot that he had become pregnant and had a son. Shi met French embassy clerk Bernard Boursicot in Beijing in 1964, while teaching Chinese to diplomats’ families. One of the most unusual cases in espionage history involved Chinese opera singer Shi Pei Pu.
