The Zunyi Conference is of great significance in the history of our Party, and at this meeting it established the leading position of the Chairman in the Party and the Red Army, corrected the dogmatism of copying the Communist International, and saved the Red Army and the Party at the most critical juncture of the revolution. At that time, most of the people in the meeting were supportive of the chairman, and only one person opposed the chairman, and this person was named Kaifeng.
Kaifeng, formerly known as He Kequan, born in 1906, a native of Jiangxi, served as the secretary of the Communist Youth League at Wuchang University, and went to Moscow Sun Yat-sen University in 1927, when Bogu, Wang Ming and other left-leaning dogmatic leaders were here, and Kaifeng also knew them because of this, and the relationship was good.
In 1930, Kaifeng returned to China, and in 1931, in order to act in secret, he once assumed the pseudonym Kaifeng, and later used the harmonic Kaifeng as his name. From this time until he arrived at the base area, Kaifeng had been working in the regimental center.
He served as secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of the Liangguang Youth League, director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the League, and was once arrested and imprisoned for being betrayed by traitors, but Kaifeng never thought of betraying the revolution. In 1934, Kaifeng arrived at the revolutionary base area, and soon after he was added as a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Central Executive Committee.
In September 1933, the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression war broke out, and Bogu and others, who were in charge of military leadership at that time, knew that the Red Army was not well equipped and the enemy's troops were strong and strong, but they still chose to fight hard with the enemy in position warfare, and the difference in strength was very different, and they also gave up the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that the Red Army was good at, and the result was that they lost one after another, and finally had to be forced to move.
However, in this way, Bogu and others have not learned their lessons and changed the method of warfare, and by the beginning of the Long March, the Red Army had been reduced from 86,000 people at the beginning to more than 30,000 people, which led to the Zunyi Conference when the Red Army commanders raised their hands and decided to revoke their leadership.
Kaifeng, on the other hand, did not realize the huge consequences of the wrong command of Bogu, Li De and others on the revolutionary work, so he still contradicted the chairman and had to support Bogu, so after the meeting, Kaifeng was dismissed.
And Kaifeng, he is a real revolutionary, not because of personal grudges and the chairman of the opposition. Kaifeng saw that it was precisely by relying on the correct command of the chairman on the Long March that the Red Army successfully jumped out of the enemy's encirclement and rekindled his fighting spirit, so he slowly realized his mistake and began to fully support the chairman. Since Kaifeng realized his mistake, he was reinstated.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, until the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Kaifeng was responsible for the propaganda work of the central authorities, local work, grain work, and very busy tasks. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Kaifeng was transferred to the Yangtze River Bureau and director of the Propaganda Department, and then went to the Central Propaganda Department, where he has been engaged in propaganda and cultural work.
As the person in charge of the Central Propaganda Department, Kaifeng made great contributions to the party's theoretical propaganda during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; he publicized the party's policies and the anti-Japanese national united front in Xinhua Daily.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Kaifeng still did his old job, became the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, in the work Kaifeng has always been conscientious, in 1948 because of the recurrence of the old disease went to the Soviet Union for treatment, but not completely cured, he was eager to return to China to continue to participate in the revolution, so his health has been very bad, in 1955 he died of illness.
