Deng Xiping: A riot shines through the ages

Deng Xiping (1898-1931), formerly known as Deng Jiabao, was a native of Xiping Village, Zeqin Township. One of the founders of the Ruijin Party organization, outstanding leader and organizer of the peasant movement. In April 1930, he successfully led the Anzhi Rebellion, raising the first banner of armed struggle in the county. In July of the same year, he was elected as the first secretary of the Ruijin County Committee of the Communist Party of China. In July 1931, he was mistakenly killed along with his mother and younger brother at Xiangzuigang on the outskirts of the city.

Speaking of Deng Xiping, many people may associate these words with these words: one of the founders of the Ruijin Party organization, the leader of the Anzhi Rebellion, and the first secretary of the Ruijin County Party Committee. Indeed, these words can basically summarize Deng Xiping's glorious and short life, in his 33 years of life, except for the painful childhood and the full reading era, basically dealing with the revolution, it is precisely because of his dedication and enthusiasm for the revolution that he has achieved his immortal legend.

The reason why Deng Xiping has future achievements is that he has a great relationship with his father Deng Changhe. Although he was born into a poor peasant family from an early age and relied on rented land to support his family, Deng Changhe was not at all ambiguous about the education of his children. In order to allow Deng Xiping to receive a better education, his father borrowed money to let him go to private school. Deng Xiping also lived up to expectations, and was admitted to Ganzhou No. 4 Middle School with excellent results, and successfully completed his studies with the financial support of the public court. During his time in school, Deng Xiping studied very hard, read many progressive books, and accepted the new ideas of patriotism and democracy.

In the spring of 1926, after six years of study in Ganzhou, Deng Xiping returned to his hometown of Chishatian. After six years of studying abroad, he learned about the outside world, but he did not choose to go out to develop. At that time, Chisha tin was not attractive to Deng Xiping, who returned to his hometown, and he still remembered the suffering of his youth. The local tycoon Yang Jiati insisted that Uncle Deng Xiping adopted and tortured his niece to death, so he arbitrarily and ruthlessly dragged the young Deng Xiping to the street, and the fleshy little Xiping healed for more than a month before saving his life. Cruel oppression sowed the seeds of hatred in Xi Ping's heart. When his parents borrowed money to send him to private school, he was determined to make a difference. Studying in Ganzhou made him know the difficulties of life, and he mastered and understood the connotations of terms such as state, politics, revolution, and warlords. The establishment of a school to inspire the people's wisdom and people's consciousness was the first wish that Deng Xiping wanted to realize after returning to Chisha Tin in 1926.

The idea of establishing "Xingqun Primary School" was discussed by Deng Xiping with his young friends Xie Renhe and Liu Zhongen from the same village, and he was approved. Starting a school is not a simple thing, just having ideas is not enough, but also has to have funds and talents to do the support. How did the funding come from? Deng Xiping and his party decided to go up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it to raise funds for running the school. Where did that textbook come from? Deng Xiping used what he had learned to personally compile teaching materials. With all the funds and teaching materials, the school will naturally be run smoothly. A few months later, the sign of "Xingqun Elementary School" was hung on the wall of the house in Chisha Tin, and the children of the poor came to study, becoming a school in opposition to the private school Mongkan "Choi Mei Tang". Here, Deng Xiping taught new ideas and new cultures to the students, propagated progressive ideas, and laid the ideological and mass foundation for the future Anzhi rebellion.

The Anzhi rebellion was a bombshell, unveiling the prelude to the Ruijin people's opposition to the Kuomintang's reactionary rule and raising the banner of the first armed struggle in Ruijin County. The leader behind this uprising was Deng Xiping.

In late August 1927, the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising troops went south to Guangdong via Ruijin and were stationed in the county seat. After Liu Zhong'en heard the news, he invited Deng Xiping and Xie Renhe to rush to the county seat at night to assist the troops in writing slogans and distributing leaflets, organizing citizens to cook tea and entertain the rebels, and at the same time mobilizing young and middle-aged people to join the rebel troops. During this period, Deng Xiping, Liu Zhong'en, Xie Renhe, Yang Rongcai, Yang Shuqiao, and others joined the Communist Party of China. In early September, the first party branch of Ruijin County was established in Mianjiang Middle School (now the old school building of Ruijin No. 1 Middle School), and Liu Zhong'en served as the secretary of the party branch. Deng Xiping, Yang Rongcai, Yang Shuqiao, and Xie Renhe are members of the party branch.

On September 7, 1927, He Long and Ye Ting led the Nanchang Uprising troops and left Ruijin County. Later, the White Terror re-engulfed Ruijin. The county party organization was destroyed by the enemy, and Liu Zhong'en and others were forced to return to Anzhi Township to carry out underground activities, and in the name of "Guanyin Society" and "being the host," they secretly established peasant associations and began to restore party organizations. In March 1928, the first township-level party branch in the county was established——— the Anzhi Township Party Branch of the Communist Party of China, with Deng Xiping as the secretary of the party branch, which soon grew to fifty or sixty communist party members.

The rapid development of the revolutionary forces in Anzhi Township made the Kuomintang government very panicked, so it sent the brigade headquarters of the Kuomintang army Li Wenbin to attack Anzhi, and Xie Renhe and Liu Zhong'en bravely took action in this encirclement and suppression.

In order to implement the spirit of the "Second Seventh" Conference of the Party in Southwest Jiangxi, the climax of the agrarian revolution was quickly set off, and the workers and peasants were established. On March 27, 1930, Lan Xiaqiao, commissioner of the Cpc's Minxi Special Committee, sent a letter from Xunwu instructing Deng Xiping to immediately prepare 60 red sleeves and three red flags to prepare for the riot. After receiving the letter, Deng Xiping arranged for Xie Renhe's wife Lai Zhongzhong and others to invite local women to rush to do it overnight. On the evening of April 2, Yan Huan and Lan Xiaqiao came to the home of Deng Xiping in Chishatian, Anzhi Township, to hold a secret meeting to study the plan of the riot, and the meeting decided to first raise a flag in Anzhi to riot.

On April 3 (the fifth day of the third lunar month, two days before the Qingming Festival), more than 300 rioters armed with long guns, bird hammers, and large knives gathered at the bridgehead in front of Anzhi, and planted the red flag of the riot, shouting "Down with the local tycoons and inferior gentry!" Avenge the martyrdom! " slogan. The rioters killed Yang Jiati on the spot, and handed over 4 long guns and 1 short gun, and then the riot team members rushed to the home of the local tycoon Zhang Xueming, who hid in the "Tuweizi" in an attempt to resist, but could not withstand the full attack of the riot team members and fled alone. The rioters immediately smashed open Zhang Xueming's home, confiscated his property and grain, and distributed them to the poor peasants on the spot.

From Anzhi to the county seat, the riot sparked. A month later, Ruijin was liberated for the first time. Two months later, Deng Xiping was elected secretary of the county party committee, and after that, under his leadership, Ruijin formed a Soviet government, carried out the first division of land, and the poor peasants began to have their own land.

Just when the revolutionary situation in the whole county was developing rapidly, Deng Xiping suffered a disaster. In 1931, he was imprisoned by Li Tianfu, the commissioner of western Fujian and the second secretary of ruijin county party committee, and he was mistakenly designated as the "leader of the Social Democratic Party", and together with his elderly mother and young brother, he was wrongly killed in Xiangzuigang, south of Xianghu City. However, it is gratifying that the mistake was finally rehabilitated, and in August of the following year after Deng Xiping's death, Deng Xiaoping, who served as secretary of the Ruijin County CPC Committee from Shanghai to the Central Soviet Region, on the basis of full investigation and research, realistically rehabilitated Deng Xiping and executed Li Tianfu in public trial.

In 1956, in order to commemorate Deng Xiping's great achievements, the Ruijin County People's Committee decided to name Deng Xiping's hometown as the Xiping Brigade, and in 1984 it was renamed Xiping Village. Just like The name of Xiping, after decades of development, especially thanks to the policy of poverty alleviation in recent years, the life of Xiping villagers has become more and more prosperous.
