In April 1981, a senior monk named Zhong Xunren in Fujian died. Before his death, he specifically asked one of his good friends, Yang Daoming, not to reveal his origins to others. Seven years later, in 1988, Yang Daoming finally made up his mind to announce Zhong Xunren's life to the local government. Unexpectedly, this also involves a special history of the Red Army period. Originally, the identities of Yang Daoming and Zhong Xunren were not simple, and both were once senior generals of the Fujian Provincial Military Region during the Red Army period. In 1934, they also participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression struggle, and after the failure of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Red Army troops of the Fujian-Gansu Military Region were forced to go up the mountain to fight guerrillas.
In 1935, the team came to southern Fujian, during which time the commander of the military region, Song Qingquan, the commander of the military region, was frightened by the dangerous fighting environment and prepared to conspire to surrender to the enemy. Yang Daoming, then chairman of the provincial party committee, and Zhong Xunren, then secretary of the provincial party committee and political commissar of the military region, sensed something unusual, and after exchanging views, the two decided to lead the department to transfer. Sure enough, soon after, Song Qingquan took his troops to Xianyou to surrender to the enemy overnight, and Zhong Xunren and Yang Daoming only had more than thirty warriors left at hand. Surrounded and suppressed by the enemy, more than twenty warriors were smashed to death, leaving only nine people in the entire team. In order to reduce the target, the crowd finally decided to disperse from the yew to break through. After the breakthrough was successful, Yang Daoming took the pseudonym Xie Changsheng, and Zhong Xunren under the pseudonym Huang Jiafa withdrew to Yongtaixi. On the way, the two happened to encounter a temple, thinking that they were penniless and unfamiliar with life, so the two decided to stay in the temple for the time being to avoid the wind and make plans.
In April 1935, Zhong Xunren and Yang Daoming officially became monks. In order not to reveal their identities, the two began to be silent and no longer had contact with outsiders. Fast forward to 1943, when two underground workers in Minzhong passed by the Minting Temple, where Zhong Xunren and his two monks were monks. During the conversation, Zhong Xunren vaguely realized that the other party may be his own person. I had planned to talk to them in detail after lunch, but who knew that the man was in a hurry to leave directly. Zhong Xunren and Yang Daoming's hopes of finding the organization were shattered again.
After the liberation of the whole country, two comrades who had made great contributions to the revolution in their early years had always wanted to write letters to the organization, hoping to meet their comrades-in-arms. But whenever this happens, they will recall the defeated experience of the revolution in Fujian Province, coupled with the fact that they did not participate in the subsequent revolution, and they feel guilty about the revolution and organization. Therefore, the two decided to give up contacting the organization and live a low-key life.
