Comrade Chen Xincai is a tried and tested loyal communist fighter, "whose safety is not the same as his ambition, and his heart is not changed by danger." In the course of several decades of fighting, no matter how great the difficulties encountered and how great the setbacks suffered, he always set the course of his life, followed the Communist Party closely, was unswerving in his loyalty to the cause of Communistism, and was extremely loyal to the people.
In 1925, Chen Xincai served as a major company commander and acting battalion commander in the third company of the Third Regiment of the First Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and when he was stationed in Guangning County, he supported the peasant movement and seized the armed forces of a squadron of the security regiment that suppressed the peasant army. In October 1925, Huang Xuezeng was appointed as the commissioner of the South Road of the Communist Party of China and came to the South Road to carry out revolutionary activities. In the same year, Chen Xincai resigned from the military post and returned to Wuchuan County to carry out the peasant movement, and in December he was introduced by Huang Xuezeng to join the Communist Party of China. From then on, he devoted his life to the magnificent cause of communism.
Chen Xincai was not intimidated by the massacre of the enemy, and in order to go to Hong Kong to find the party organization, he resolutely sold "piglets" to Nanyang, planning to escape in Hong Kong to find an organization. After Breaking free from the clutches of the devil in Hong Kong, he wandered the docks and streets, went through hardships, and failed to achieve his wishes. Chen Xincai, who survived the disaster, was not discouraged or discouraged, and moved with Peng Zhongying to Lizhou Island to carry out fishermen's activities, organize fishermen's associations, launch fishermen's strikes, and fight against the cruel exploitation of fishing tyrants. The Kuomintang authorities hated Chen Xincai to the bone and ordered him to be wanted, and Chen Xincai went to Qiangui to make a living in economy and trade, and continued to engage in revolutionary struggle.
During the period of the Great Revolution, Chen Xincai and the middle and upper levels of the Meiling garrison had close relations, and the day after the April 15 coup, the Meiling garrison sent someone to Huangpo to inform Chen Xincai, and Xincai immediately sent Li Zi'an to Meisu to try to inform Huazhou, Maoming, Dianbai, and other counties, so that these local party organizations had retreated and covered before the enemy's action, and did not suffer much loss.
From 1941 to 1942, Chen Xincai raised funds to zhao Shiyao to establish anti-Japanese newspapers such as "Youth Herald" and "South Road Youth" in Guangzhou Bay. In addition, Yang Ziru was also paid 100 yuan as the cost of training puppet theater classes, and Yang Ziru, Sun Wenshan, and Yuan Junyuan concentrated 30 puppet theater classes in Wuchuan for training, and then went deep into the countryside of Wuchuan, sang revolutionary operas, disseminated revolutionary truths, publicized the Communist Party's anti-Japanese ideas, exposed the Kuomintang diehards' conspiracy to surrender and compromise, awakened the masses of the people, so that the South Road area, especially Wuchuan, had a relatively good anti-Japanese mass base, and promoted the People's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement on the South Road, and the anti-Japanese upsurge on the South Road was higher than the wave.
In the spring of 1943, the Leizhou Peninsula fell, and the Cpc South Road Special Committee analyzed the situation at that time and still shouldered the historical mission of armed resistance against Japan. At that time, some responsible persons of party organizations working in Guangzhou Bay withdrew to Chen Xincai's hometown of Baigegang Village and decided to mobilize the masses to arm themselves against Japan. Chen Xincai organized more than 200 armed people in 21 villages in the township, and mobilized his brother Chen Shou to donate more than 10 personal rifles, six or seven pistols, and purchased a machine gun to enrich the equipment of the team.
This team later played an important role in the battles against the Japanese puppet army in Shimen and Hook and Kamak ridge. In addition, Chen Xincai also established the Anti-Japanese Joint Defense Zone and the Anti-Japanese Joint Defense Brigade in the Wuchuan and Lianwu Border Areas, and these armed forces later became an important part of the South Road People's Anti-Japanese Liberation Army. The development and growth of Wu Chuan and Lian Wu's anti-Japanese armed forces poured a lot of painstaking efforts into Chen Xincai. Chen Xincai's effective revolutionary work has provided a guarantee for the consolidation and development of the party organization on the South Road.
In February 1945, the Kuomintang concentrated its forces to attack the South Road People's Anti-Japanese Liberation Army, our main force suffered heavy losses in Lianxi, the revolutionary situation on the South Road was temporarily at a low ebb, the second detachment of the South Road People's Anti-Japanese Liberation Army led by Huang Jingwen and the brother troops formed a team to march west, and Chen Xincai served as the chief of the enemy engineering section of the South Road People's Anti-Japanese Liberation Army. The Kuomintang reactionaries were extremely frightened and hated Chen Xincai to the bone, setting fire to Chen Xincai's home and the Xinmin Primary School he founded, and looting the village of Baigegang.
However, Chen Xincai was not frightened, and continued to work selflessly for the party; he co-founded the Nanguang Middle School in Hong Kong with Zhang Yan's widow, Zheng Kunlian, to resettle the revolutionary comrades who had been evacuated from Hong Kong and train young people; to set up a southern trading company to raise funds for the party; to use the "Ma Shibi" ship to transport medicines to Vietnam to the armed forces transferred there, to convey instructions, and to arrange for the wounded and sick to go to Hong Kong for medical treatment; and also risked his life to escort patriotic democrats to the Liberated Areas through the "Central China Ship" in preparation for attending the National Political Consultative Conference. Arrested by the Hong Kong authorities in March 1949 and released on bail by the party organization, his revolutionary drive was not weakened in the slightest, and he still threw himself into the revolutionary torrent in full swing.
After liberation, Chen Xincai was not proud of his achievements; every time his post changed, he obeyed the organizational arrangements, never negotiated prices, made demands, set an example in his work, was honest and honest, was diligent in government affairs, influenced and led the comrades around him, set an example for comrades, and enjoyed a very high prestige among comrades.
During the "Cultural Revolution," Chen Xincai fell ill and was hospitalized, and his body was extremely weak, but he gave little thought to his illness, and was more concerned about the future and destiny of the country, always had a firm belief in the cause of the party and the people, always believed in Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, firmly believed in the leadership of the party, firmly believed that truth will overcome mistakes, maintained a revolutionary optimistic attitude, and accompanied his grandsons Jianya, Chaojie, and Xiaoran, who were still accompanied by his grandsons Jianya, Chaojie, and Xiaoran, who were still accompanied when he was seriously ill and bedridden, and read "People's Daily" and "Reference News" to him every day. And taught the comrades who went to visit him in the hospital to believe in the party and fight for the party's cause all their lives, "Now this situation will not be too long..... We must believe that the cause of communism will be realized...", which embodies the lofty ideological realm of communists.
In short, whether it was during the war years or in the period of peaceful construction, Comrade Chen Xincai was full of enthusiasm, committed to revolution, never wavered his conviction, showed his heart with his own actions, always followed the Communist Party, the revolution did not turn back in the end, no matter what work he was engaged in, Chen Xincai was conscientious, down-to-earth, and made achievements.
