In the revolutionary history of our Party, there have been such people who have made great contributions to the revolutionary cause, but for various reasons, the outcome is lamentable. Today we are going to introduce such a character, his name is Gan Yuanjing. Gan Yuanjing's starting point can be said to be quite high, as early as 1930, he was already elected chairman of the Soviet government of the Eyu-Anhui Border Region. At that time, the First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established in the Eyu-Anhui Border Region, with Xu Jishen as its commander and Xu Shuai as its deputy commander, so Gan Yuanjing was also Xu Shuai's superior.
However, after the establishment of the Red Fourth Front, Xu Shuai became the commander-in-chief, while Gan Yuanjing's status quickly declined, and he was demoted to the political commissar of the Tenth Division of the Red Fourth Army, and the main reason was that there were quite fierce contradictions and conflicts between him and Zhang Guotao, and he was once imprisoned. In 1936, Gan Yuanjing followed the Western Route Army on a western expedition and was unfortunately captured in Gansu, which was two years until he was released from prison in 1938. Gan Yuanjing, who had regained his freedom, chose to return to his hometown of Dabie Mountain and serve as the chief of staff of the Military Headquarters of Southern Henan, leading the army and the people to fight against the Japanese Kou.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Gan Yuanjing returned to the ranks of our army and served as the director of the Arsenal of the Central Plains Military Region. Later, as the war situation continued to change, Nakano decided to evacuate some cadres and transfer them on the spot, and Gan Yuanjing was also inside. And Gan Yuanjing, who left the army, did not eat for several days, he was really hungry, so he decided to venture home, but he did not expect that this time there would be a big incident, it turned out that Gan Yuanjing had long been targeted by the national army, and the township chief Huang Wenbo took the lead in rushing to the Gan family, grabbed Gan Yuanjing, forced him to write a letter of self-surrender, for the safety of his family, Gan Yuanjing wrote a letter of self-surrender against his will, and then became the security chief of the national army, responsible for collecting public grain at the local level. In this way, Gan Yuanjing was reduced from a big figure who started a base area in our party to a small security chief of the national army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gan Yuanjing was arrested again because he had written a letter of surrender, although some people later came forward to intercede for him, and it seemed that he should also be released for the sake of his contributions to the revolution. However, under years of physical and mental torture, Gan Yuanjing had already suffered from a body of illness, and finally one day in 1952, Gan Yuanjing ended his life at home.
