Die for your faith, die for what you deserve.
Since the Xinhai Revolution, there have been countless people of good will who have dedicated themselves to this place, who are not afraid of sacrifice and have the courage to fight for their faith. In particular, many members of the Communist Party of China faced not only the fierce Japanese Kou, but also the encirclement and blockade of many reactionaries.
Wen Jihou was such a Communist Party member, and he fulfilled his promise with blood.
In his home, there is still an old photograph of his wife and newborn child, as well as him in a birthday jacket with his eyes closed.
Yes, Wen Jihou had already sacrificed when he took the picture, and this photo was his wife to fulfill his last wish.
One last thought left for the child.
He threw himself into the revolution and twice drove out the bully county magistrate
In the era when Wen Jihou was born, warlords ran rampant, and the people lived in deep trouble.
When Wen Jihou was in middle school, shi Bizhi, the principal of the middle school at the time, was a member of the Chinese Communist Party. He was jealous and hateful, and spoke out for the people many times,
Under the influence of the principal, Wen Jihou was very concerned about the major affairs of the country and the well-being of the people.
But the headmaster's words and deeds had long been a thorn in the side of the local warlords and landlords, and soon after, the headmaster was killed by the local warlords.
The people who were afraid of the warlords did not dare to come forward to collect the body of the old headmaster.
Wen Jihou was very cold, and when he was only a teenager, he took a group of students to collect the body of the old principal and held a funeral.
The death of the old headmaster made Wen Jihou understand that only by overthrowing these warlords could the people live a good life, otherwise they could only live in fear for a lifetime.
Wen Jihou was a young man full of revolutionary fighting spirit, he actively carried out various peasant movements in his hometown, and later through the introduction of his fellow villagers,
He joined the Communist Party of China.
Wen Jihou, who became a party member, became more enthusiastic about the revolutionary struggle.
He and some Communist Party members set up agricultural cooperative committees in the local area to lead the peasant movement and protect the rights and interests of the peasants.
In the revolutionary wave of the peasant movement, Ye Zhenben, the county magistrate who had just been in office for 43 days, blatantly shielded the corrupt officials and was ousted by the peasants.
Later, Wen Jihou also organized a county-wide anti-smoking activity in the local area, and his wife Cao Wenshi discovered that the famous local squire historian was still opening a big tobacco house, and revealed the incident to Wen Jihou.
Wen Jihou acted quickly and led the members of the Agricultural Association to destroy the Shijia Tobacco House in one fell swoop.
Wen Jihou is a revolutionary, the peasant association will often call him away, Wen Jihou also served as the principal of the primary school, worrying about all kinds of things large and small in the school, and sometimes he will not take care of the family.
Cao Wenshi never complained and took good care of the family.
The husband and wife cooperated tacitly and worked together with one heart and one mind, and made great contributions to the local revolutionary activities. Soon after, two people's children were born, and the lives of two people became colorful.
Tortured to death without regret
However, the good times did not last long, and with the support of the Kuomintang, Ye Zhenben returned to be the county magistrate, and the members of the Agricultural Cooperative met overnight, and Ye Zhenben was driven away the next day. It was a sensation at the time and later became known
Xuanhua events
。
Tangtang, a county magistrate appointed by the Kuomintang, was driven away by the peasants, and this was not the case
A joke. The Kuomintang Shaanxi provincial government ordered the army to thoroughly investigate the beginning and end of the matter and arrest the culprit.
For a time, the agricultural cooperatives were investigated and dealt with, and the party members were also in danger.
Although Wen Jihou grew up in a landlord's family, because his father was adopted, he was not valued and welcomed among his relatives.
Moreover, Wen Jihou's behavior had already offended these landlords and gentry.
These people secretly reported members of the Agricultural Cooperative, and also demanded that Wen Jihou and the Communist Party members under his leadership be strictly punished. Later, when the party members held a party branch meeting, they were surrounded by the Kuomintang military and police, and it turned out that someone had secretly informed them of the meeting and told the local army about their meeting.
After a vicious fight, Wen Jihou and two other Communists were arrested. At first, these people were still smiling.
Tell the Wen family that taking three hundred oceans can redeem Wen Jihou. The grand Kuomintang army was simply indistinguishable from bandits.
And the relatives of the Wen family had long seen that Wen Jihou was not happy, how could they take money to ransom him.
The failure to get the ransom had annoyed these people enough, and at that time a peasant uprising broke out in Shaanxi Province, and Soviet power was established, which greatly shook the Kuomintang's rule in Shaanxi.
They began to use torture to force Wen Jihou to account for the whereabouts of the party organization.
During several days of torture, Wen Jihou never revealed the name of a comrade-in-arms.
It was also in this way that the enemy became angry and decided to put Wen Jihou to death.
When Wen Jihou was in prison, the comrades outside never gave up rescuing him, but the enemy received a tip-off and knew that there was an ambush on the way to the execution site of Wen Jihou, so he decided to execute him, so Wen Jihou died at the enemy's gun.
After a heroic sacrifice, Chairman Mao personally issued a martyr's certificate
The sacrificed Wen Jihou was only 25 years old, and the child was still in his infancy.
His wife, Wen Caoshi, carefully wiped his body, his body was covered with scars, and there were obvious marks on his chest, which showed how he had been beaten before he died.
Wen Caoshi shed tears while helping him put on his two-year birthday clothes.
She and Wen Zhide, who sent her husband's body, said that Wen Jihou has been very busy, and after the birth of the child, he has not taken a family portrait, can you give a family portrait of three to their family.
Wen Zhide tearfully helped Wen Caoshi call a photographer.
Behind the chair, Wen Caoshi supported Wen Jihou with his body, holding the child, but the corners of his mouth could not squeeze out a little smile.
Wen Zhide stood behind the family, pressed his hat very low, and helped Wen Cao stand.
In this way, the photo is frozen in the last moment of a family.
Not long after, Wen Jihou's wife fell ill and died in the winter of the same year.
After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao personally awarded Wen Jihou the title of martyr, and his story was passed down from generation to generation.
epilogue
Wen Jihou sacrificed. But countless revolutionaries stood up.
Neither the warlords nor the Japanese invaders of China were able to wipe out Wen Jihou's spirit.
The more ferocious they are, the more they prove that they are weak-minded, and the louder the cries of revolutionaries representing justice will be.
In the harsh environment of struggle, these revolutionary martyrs never gave up. They go forward and succeed, not afraid of sacrifice, in their view, they can sacrifice for their faith and die for what they deserve.
Although the families of those revolutionaries have faced many hardships, they are also making their own contributions to the revolutionary cause, which deserves our respect.
