Jiujiang was liberated in May 1949. At that time, New China had not yet been founded, the War of Liberation had entered the final stage, the city's factories were suspended, roads were cut off, commerce withered, the enemy was lurking around, and bandits in mountainous areas were seriously affected. In order to meet the needs of the liberation work and the establishment of people's power, more than 100 cadres from the northeast took over Jiujiang and established a new political power, the primary task of which was to stabilize social order, restore production, and support the front.
Jiujiang, as the gateway of northern Jiangxi and the hub of transportation, is the main passage for the Erye and Siye troops to enter the whole province of Jiangxi and the south and southwest of China. Since the Nanxun Railway (present-day Changjiu Railway) was destroyed by the Kuomintang and could not be repaired and opened to traffic, Jiujiang Port became an important port for the southward movement of the army and the transfer of military supplies and grain.
The government organs at all levels in Jiujiang, led by cadres heading south, regarded ensuring transportation and raising grain as their top priority, and in all their work after the establishment of the new political power in 1949, they made remarkable achievements, made important contributions to supporting the war of liberation, and had a far-reaching historical impact on Jiujiang's social and economic development.
