https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Boursicot 

Bernard Boursicot (born 12 August 1944) is a French diplomat who was caught in a Chinese honeypot trap (seducing him to participate in espionage) by Shi Pei Pu, a male Peking opera singer who performed female roles, whom Boursicot claimed he believed to be female. This espionage case became something of a cause célèbre in France in 1986, as Boursicot and Shi were brought to trial, owing to the nature of the unusual sexual subterfuge alleged.^[1]

The case was again back under a public spotlight when a play loosely based on this affair, M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang, premiered in 1988 and yet again as the film adaptation of the play directed by David Cronenberg was released in 1993. Periodic restagings of the play and television airings of the film based on it continue to spark interest in the espionage case at the heart of the fictional works of art.

Relationship with Shi

Boursicot first met Shi Pei Pu in China while posted to the French Embassy in Peking as an accountant in 1964. They met at a party just before Christmas held by Claude Chayet at the French Embassy and shortly began a relationship.^[2] Reporter Joyce Wadler, who wrote the book Liaison about the affair, would later attribute Boursicot's belief that Shi was a woman to Shi's unique ability to retract his own testicles, which, combined with the manipulation of his own penis, created the illusion of labial lips and a clitoris and allowed for shallow penetration.^[2]

In 1965, Shi claimed to be pregnant and was able to use a baby boy called Shi Du Du (later called Bertrand by Boursicot and his family), who had been bought from a doctor in Xinjiang,^[3] and was a Uyghur.^[4] Boursicot believed he was a mixed-race Chinese and French, and that there was a family resemblance between him and the boy.^[2][5]

Over the next decade, they continued their on-again off-again affair as Boursicot moved from posting to posting in Southeast Asia. During this period Boursicot embraced his own bisexuality, having multiple liaisons with women while also engaged in a long-term relationship with a Frenchman named Thierry, with whom he one day hoped to form a family including Shi Pei Pu and Bertrand.^[2] Boursicot has stated that he began passing documents to Shi when the Chinese Cultural Revolution made it difficult for him to see him. He was approached by a member of the Chinese secret service, "Kang", who offered him access to Shi in exchange for his passing documents. He believed Shi's safety was at risk if he failed to participate.^[5]
