The Envoy's and Professor Shen's, yes, but Shen Wei is the whole person; he's the Envoy as much as the professor. (Sometimes people imply that Professor Shen is more who Shen Wei "really" is and the Envoy is just a role, but that's not what you mean, is it?)
No, you're right, they're both roles; Shen Wei is the person. I was going to say that it's easier to see Shen Wei in the professor, because the Envoy is so often (deliberately) a cipher, but on second thoughts, I think that's what the meetings with Chu Shuzhi in the park (eps 2 and 4) are for -- so we can see Shen Wei in him there, too.
Of course, Zhao Yunlan didn't get to witness those meetings, so for him, the Envoy is more of a mystery.
