The success of the Whampoa Military Academy is that the military academy attaches special importance to political education and places political work in the same important position as military work, which is the first Whampoa Military Academy in Chinese history to do so, so at that time the military academy set up a special institution called the Political Department, and the head of this department was called the director of the Political Department. Next, let me tell you about who were the directors of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy in the early days (in cooperation with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party)? What happened after that?
The first director of the political department was Dai Jitao.
Dai Jitao (1891-1949), a native of Guanghan, Sichuan, went to Japan to study at the age of 14. He had good relations with Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek. Having served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary, he was keen to study Marxism and join the Communist Party in his early years, but later resigned from the party due to Sun Yat-sen's opposition. In January 1924, he participated in the Kuomintang National Congress as a representative of Zhejiang Province, and was elected as a standing committee member and propaganda director of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee, and it was at this time that he was appointed as the first director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Dai Jitao was scolded away before his ass was hot in the position of director of the political department of the military academy. On June 18, 1924, the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee held a meeting, at which Zhang Ji and others raised the issue of Communist Party members' activities in the Kuomintang, and clashed with Dai Jitao. Zhang Jida scolded Dai Jitao as a lackey of the Communist Party, calling him "a complete capricious villain from royalist to communist", and raised his fist to hit him. Dai Jitao is a pen player, a cultural person, scolding and scolding, hitting can not be beaten, angry on the spot crying, the next day he resigned and left.
Dai Jitao later served as president of Sun Yat-sen University, dean of the Examination Institute, and director of the National History Museum.
The second director of the Political Department was Shao Yuanchong.
After Dai Jitao left, the position of director of the political department became vacant, and Shao Yuanchong, a political instructor at the military academy, took up the post.
Shao Yuanchong (1890-1936), a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Graduated from Zhejiang Higher Education School, he joined the League in his early years and was closely related to Sun Yat-sen. From 1919 to 1924, he was ordered to go abroad to investigate the Kuomintang's party work overseas, and studied at the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University in the United States.
Shao Yuanchong,in the position of director of the Political Department, also came and went in a hurry. He took over on June 25, 1924, worked for two months, and on August 25 ran back to Shanghai to marry his daughter-in-law, and when he returned, it was more than October, when he was no longer in charge of the affairs of the Political Department. In November, as Sun Yat-sen's confidential secretary, he accompanied Sun Yat-sen to the north of Guangdong. Therefore, he has only been working in the position of director of the political department for two months.
Later, Shao Yuanchong later served as the director of the Republic of China Daily, the director of the Youth Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee, a member of the Zhejiang Provincial Political Branch and the mayor of Hangzhou, the vice president of the Legislative Yuan, the acting president, and the chairman of the Kuomintang Central Propaganda Committee, and was killed in the Xi'an Incident in November 1936.
The third director of the political department was Zhou Gongenlai.
Zhou Gong'en was able to enter the Whampoa Military Academy thanks to the recommendation of Zhang Shenfu. This Zhang Shenfu, he is a person with a story, and he will have the opportunity to tell it later.
The fourth was Bu Shiqi.
Bulshich was a translator for the Russian adviser Borodin at the time.
Bu Shiqi (1902-1964), a native of Yiyang, Hunan. He was also a pseudonym in the military academy, and rarely worked seriously, and later replaced him with Bao Hui monk. After returning to China, He served as the editor of international affairs in the Organization Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee, the chief of the Foreign Affairs Section of the General Office of the Military Commission of the National Government, the director of the Department of Yaxi Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, and the director of the Institute of International Relations.
The fifth director of the Political Department was Bao Huisheng.
Bao Huisheng (1894-1979), a native of Huanggang, Hubei Province, was an early member of our party and participated in a major congress. Due to the fierce partisanship among the cadets in the military academy at that time, he balanced left and right, did a careful job, and was stable. Later, he was transferred to the Party Representative and Director of the Political Department of the Independent Fourteenth Division of the National Revolutionary Army, a counselor of the General Headquarters of the Army, Navy and Air Force, a counselor of the Kuomintang Ministry of the Interior, a director of the Department of Household Affairs, and a director of the Population Bureau.
The sixth term was concurrently held by Shao Lizi, secretary general of the military academy.
Shao Lizi (1882–1967), a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He was one of the earliest members of our Party. When he acted as director of the political department, he was also a member of the Communist Party. But his ties to the Kuomintang were also deep. When Shao Lizi was the director of the political department, he only went around the military academy every day, and the specific things were all pushed to Xiong Xiong, deputy director of the political department. His approach to relations with military school teachers and students was to "fight haha." Shao Lizi did not stay long in the military academy, and after the rise of the Northern Expedition, he left the military academy.
Shao Lizi later served as chairman of Gansu Province, chairman of Shaanxi Province, director of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang, and ambassador to the Soviet Union.
In the early days (in cooperation with the Kuomintang and the Communists), the last director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy was Xiong Xiong.
Xiong Xiong (1892-1927), a native of Yifeng, Jiangxi, participated in the anti-Yuan struggle in his early years, fled to Japan after defeat, joined Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Revolutionary Party, went to France in 1919 to work and study, then joined the German Communist Party in Berlin, and returned to China in 1925 to become a political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy. When Shao Lizi was the director of the political department of the military academy, he presided over the actual work.
During xiong Xiong's presidency of the Whampoa Military Academy during the period when he was in charge of the Political Department, he tirelessly taught young cadets that, first, they should distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, love the workers and peasants, and unite with the masses; second, they should not be greedy for money and money, not afraid of death, and love the country and the people; third, they should abandon the concept of personal merit and fame and profit, and strive and sacrifice for the interests of the oppressed nations and the interests of the workers and peasants.
Xiong Xiong also founded the "Whampoa Daily" and conducted lively revolutionary ideological education for Whampoa trainees through various forms such as holding regular seminars, organizing propaganda teams, and participating in popular movements.
In the summer of 1927, when cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists failed, Xiong Xiong was arrested and secretly killed at the age of 35.
