Jiang Guangnai (1887-1967), originally known as 煚, was later changed to Guang Nai (光鼐), literally 憬ran, a native of Dongguan, Guangdong. Graduated from baoding army officer school. In his early years, he served as the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the chief of staff of the Fourth Theater, and the deputy commander of the Seventh Theater. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he participated in the preparation of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. After the founding of New China, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a deputy to the National People's Congress, and a minister He died in Beijing on June 8, 1967. Jiang Guangnai's ashes were first stored in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing, and were buried with Cai Tingkai in the tomb of generals in the Cemetery of the 19th Route Army songhu anti-Japanese martyrs in Guangzhou in 1997.

In December 1888, Jiang Guangnai was born into a family of scholars in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. In 1906, Jiang Guangnai was admitted to the Huangpu Guangdong Army Primary School and joined the League, determined to save the country and save the people. During the Xinhai Revolution, he arrived in Wuchang with Chen Mingshu, Li Zhangda and others and surrendered to Huang Xing. As a member of the student army, he immediately participated in the landing of the Dragon King Temple in Hankou and the battle to recover Hankou. In 1912, he was selected for military merit and sent to baoding military academy. The following year, the "Second Revolution" broke out, and Jiang Guangnai participated in the Hukou Uprising led by Li Liejun. After the failure of the uprising, he went to Japan to study in the military training class "Haoran Lu" sponsored by Huang Xing, met Mr. Sun, and has been following Mr. Sun ever since. He successively served as the commander of the guard battalion of the Guard Headquarters of Marshal Sun Da's Office, the staff officer of the Guangdong Aid Army formed by Mr. Sun, and the guard regiment attached to the base camp of sun Da's presidential palace, and accompanied Mr. Sun on the Northern Expedition. When Chen Jiongming rebelled, Jiang Guangnai participated in the battle to defend the presidential palace, and he died nine times, which was very difficult.

After Sun Yat-sen's death, Jiang Guangnai inherited his legacy, the Northern Expedition, and repeatedly built Qigong. In the Northern Expedition, the Fourth Army made repeated achievements and was known as the "Iron Army". In the Great War of the Central Plains in 1930, Jiang Guangnai was the first to capture Jinan and made great contributions. In order to reward him, Chiang Kai-shek's government decided to merge Jiang Guangnai's 61st Division with Cai Tingkai's 60th Division and reorganize it into the 19th Route Army, appointing Jiang Guangnai as the commander-in-chief of the whole army.

Jiang Guangnai is not only an excellent soldier with a sense of responsibility, but also a patriotic general with the heart of the world. In his view, the outcome of the war is important, but for whom the war is fought is more important to the future of the country and the future of the nation. Throughout his life, he adhered to a belief, that is, to resist foreign enemies, oppose civil war, and save the survival. After chiang kai-shek's government won the final victory in the warlord melee, Chiang Kai-shek, who was proud of himself, did not choose to suppress the invading Japanese army, but instead proposed that "foreign countries must first be safe inside," and quickly pointed the spearhead of the struggle at the people's armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party, which was constantly developing and growing. At the end of 1930, the Nanjing government transferred the 19th Route Army to Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, to "encircle and suppress" the Red Army, which aroused Great Disgust of Jiang Guangnai, who was unwilling to allow being humiliated by foreign enemies and did nothing, and resolutely decided to leave the army he loved and go to Shanghai to recuperate.

Following the "918 Incident", in 1932, the Japanese army created the "1.28" incident in an attempt to occupy Shanghai. The Chinese army stationed in Shanghai at that time was the 19th Route Army, and Jiang Guangnai served as the supreme commander. Under the influence and impetus of the nationwide people's anti-Japanese upsurge and the Cpc's call for anti-Japanese national salvation, Jiang Guangnai was determined to resist the Japanese and defend Shanghai. He left the hospital with his illness, rushed to the front, personally commanded, and telegraphed the whole country, "inching into the grass, can not give up", expressing the determination to defend the country to the death and resist the strong enemy. When he received the ultimatum from the Japanese army, he resolutely ordered: "Answer him with cannons." He refused the order of the Nanjing government to stop resisting, commanded the 19th Route Army, fought tenaciously, and held on for more than a month, crushing the Japanese army's wild words of "occupying Shanghai in four hours", causing it to change commanders and increase reinforcements many times. The Songhu War of Resistance dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Japanese imperialism, inspired the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the people of the whole country, and provided valuable experience for the future all-round war of resistance. At that time, Zhou Enlai warmly praised Jiang Guangnai: "Mr. Zhou took the forerunner of the Anti-Japanese Resistance as the pillar of peace and democracy in South China, and tried to turn the tide and look forward to the whole country." ”

After the Songhu War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Jiang Guangnai was transferred to Fujian as provincial chairman and director of the Appeasement Office. In 1933, together with Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, Cai Tingkai and others, he launched the "Fujian Incident" and served as the minister of finance of the People's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China, and went to Hong Kong after the defeat. In 1935, together with Li Jishen and others, he established the Chinese National Revolutionary League in Hong Kong, advocating the unity of all parties to resist Japan. He donated 100,000 silver dollars from the Anti-Japanese Provident Fund of the 19th Route Army to support the Red Army's Long March.

In 1936, Chen Jitang, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi raised the anti-Japanese banner and officially opened the prelude to the "Two Guangdong Incident". In order to strengthen the anti-Chiang Kai-shek forces, they invited Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai, and other generals of the former 19th Route Army to guizhou to participate in the anti-Japanese activities in the southwest. On September 22, 1936, Mao Zedong wrote to Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai, giving him a high degree of affirmation and hope for the War of Resistance: "The glorious 19th Route Army system, under the leadership of Mr. And others, continued to struggle and continued to work hard. "The real task of saving the country must have many people and benevolent people who are truly sincere in saving the country" and "enthusiastic and patriotic as Mr. "Mr. This letter encouraged Jiang Guangnai and also brought the two sides closer. In the same year, the "Xi'an Incident" broke out, and the situation of the civil war became tense again. In the face of the great national righteousness, Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai strongly advocated avoiding civil war and working together to resist foreign enemies.

After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Jiang Guangnai successively served as chief of staff of the Fourth Theater and deputy commander of the Seventh Theater, and received the rank of general.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek disregarded the desire of the people of the whole country for peace and insisted on waging a civil war. In 1947, Jiang Guangnai secretly engaged in democratic revolutionary activities, and together with Li Jinshen and He Xiangning, jointly planned the creation of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. It also cooperated with the Communist Party of China and other democratic parties to jointly oppose the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang. On New Year's Day 1948, the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee was founded, declaring a public political break with the Kuomintang authorities. At the first Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, Jiang Guangnai was elected as a member of the Central Executive Committee.

In late June 1949, Jiang Guangnai arrived in Beijing from Hong Kong and successively participated in the preparatory work of the New Cppcc Committee and the first plenary session of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference, participated in the formulation of the common program and the founding of the People's Republic of China, and made contributions to the birth of New China.

After the founding of New China, Jiang Guangnai was appointed minister of the Textile Industry Department of the Central People's Government, in charge of the production of the national textile industry. In order to be familiar with the development of the textile industry, he attaches great importance to learning, humbly listens to the opinions of professional and technical personnel, conducts in-depth investigation and research on the production site, and strives to solve the outstanding contradiction that textile raw materials cannot keep up with the development needs. In his work and life, he set strict demands on himself, was arduous and simple, was honest and honest in performing official duties, sincerely cooperated with and consulted with the leading cadres of the Communist Party, and enjoyed a high prestige among the masses. As the leader of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, Jiang Guangnai successively served as a member of the first Central Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, a member of the Standing Committee of the Second, Third and Fourth Central Committees, and served as the chairman of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee and the acting director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee. He presided over the work of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang for seventeen years, and did a great deal of work and played an important role in the consolidation and development of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang.

At the time of Jiang Guangnai's death, Premier Zhou Enlai personally drafted the outline of the eulogy of the leaders of the CPC Central Committee, which had four aspects: "First, in the early years, he joined the League and followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen in his revolution. 2. Lead the "1.28" War of Resistance. 3. In the Fujian People's Government, the Anti-Chiang Kai-shek anti-Japanese activities of the United Communist Party were carried out. 4. Participate in the preparatory work for the political consultative conference of the Chinese people, and participate in the socialist revolution and socialist construction. These four aspects summarize the main aspects of Jiang Guangnai's lifelong contribution.
