On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao announced the founding of New China in Tiananmen Square, and those who could watch the ceremony in Tiananmen Square at that time were all leaders of our party and various parties, as well as leaders of industries with relatively great influence.
At that time, most people were already gray-haired, and there were few young people, but this did not mean that there were no young people, and beside Chairman Mao stood a young man, who was only 34 years old this year, but his status was very high, he was a member of the presidium of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Central People's Government Committee, and his name was Saifuding Aizezi.
Saifuding Azezi is a native of Artush, Xinjiang, born in 1915, when he was a teenager, Saifuding because of his good family, contact with a lot of advanced ideas, in 1935, at the age of 20, he went to the Soviet Union to study at Tashkent University in Central Asia.
After graduation, Sai Fuding returned to China and worked in the newspaper, at that time he also served as a teacher in the normal school and Tacheng Middle School, teaching history, literature, etc. Because it was a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Xinjiang was still relatively peaceful at that time, and some Communist Party members could also work openly and publicize in Xinjiang.
This situation lasted until 1942, when the attitude of the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai changed, he changed from pro-Soviet and pro-communist to anti-Soviet and anti-communist, and Saifuding, as a student who returned from studying in the Soviet Union and received new ideological education, was suppressed and ostracized by the Sheng Shicai government.
Soon, Saifuding was arrested by the authorities, and they interrogated Saifuding in prison, why did he study in the Soviet Union? What assignments were received at the Soviet consulate? Later, it was not until the bail of relatives and friends that Sai Fuding was released, and it was no longer possible to stay here, so Sai Fuding moved to Yining with his family.
In 1944, Sheng Shicai forcibly confiscated herders' guns in Ili, Tacheng, and Ashan, not only that, but he also had herders donating military horses, and if there were no military horses, they had to pay more than one-half of the market price.
At that time, the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang were already bearing more than twenty kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the land tax alone accounted for more than half of the peasants' annual income, and suddenly there was a horse tax, which really did not allow people to live.
In August, Partih Moslimov and others formed a Gongha guerrilla group in the Ulastai Mountain District of Gongha County, Ili, with the call of anti-horse sacrifice, under his leadership, the guerrillas captured the county seat of Gongha County, and then uprisings broke out in the Ili, Tacheng, and Altay regions of Xinjiang, known in history as the "Revolution of the Three Regions."
On October 11, the revolutionary army captured the city of Yining and established a provisional revolutionary government. In 1945, the Provisional Revolutionary Government formed the National Army, Saifuding participated in the Three Districts Revolution, and after the establishment of the Provisional Government, he successively served as the director of the Department of Education.
Chairman Mao spoke highly of the three-region revolution, saying: "The three-region revolution is part of the democratic revolution of the whole Chinese people and an important contribution to the liberation of all Xinjiang and the liberation of all China. ”
In November 1946, the Revolutionary Army made contact with the Chinese Communist Party, and they expressed their willingness to accept the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and since then, Saifuding has served as acting chairman of the Xinjiang League for the Defense of Peace and Democracy.
In 1949, Deng Liqun rushed to Xinjiang as a liaison officer of the CPC Central Committee and met with the leader of the three regions, Ahmad Tijiang Hasmu, and Deng Liqun told Ahmad Tijiang Hasmu that he was entrusted by the central authorities to invite him to lead the Xinjiang delegation to Beijing to attend the CPPCC meeting.
A few days later, Chairman Mao's invitation letter also arrived: Your struggle over the years is part of my all-Chinese people's democratic revolutionary movement, and with the development of the people's liberation war in the northwest, the total liberation of Xinjiang is not far away, and your struggle is about to achieve final success. We wholeheartedly welcome you to send five of your own representatives to the plenary session of the National People's Political Consultative Conference.
On August 23, Ahmadijan Hasmu led a Xinjiang delegation to Beijing to attend the CPPCC meeting, but unfortunately, when the plane flew through the city of Irkutsk and flew to the vicinity of Transbaikal Mountain, due to the harsh climate, it unfortunately crashed into the mountain, killing all 17 people on the plane.
After receiving the news, Sai Fuding was very sad, and after the decision of the party Central Committee, Xinjiang once again sent a delegation, headed by Sai Fuding Chinese, to Beijing to attend the meeting of the New Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Their spirit is immortal. ”
In Beijing, Chairman Mao also invited Sai Fuding to his home to eat: "Xinjiang is a treasure land with a vast land and rich minerals. The Uyghur people are an ancient and young people, simple, kind, industrious, hospitable, magnanimous, magnanimous, these are the outstanding virtues of the Uyghur people..."
Hearing chairman Mao's words, Sai Fuding was very moved, at the founding ceremony, Sai Fuding stood in the second row, he was behind Chairman Mao, this classic photo, was permanently preserved, this year, Sai Fuding was 34 years old, is a young man on the upper floor of Tiananmen Square.
At a press conference held by the Central People's Government on October 4, SaiFuding firmly pointed out: "Xinjiang used to be an inseparable part of China's territory, and it remains and will never change." ”
On the 15th, SaiFuding formally submitted an application to Chairman Mao to join the party, and Chairman Mao personally gave instructions and consent: agreed to Comrade Saifuding's joining the party. This letter was brought by Sai himself and sent to Comrade Peng Dehuai, that is, stored in Peng's office. After the establishment of the Xinjiang sub-bureau, Comrade Sai will perform the formalities for filling in the party form to the sub-bureau.
Since then, Sai Fuding has successively served as vice chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial People's Government and deputy commander of the Xinjiang Military Region, and Chairman Mao has also told Peng Dehuai, Wang Zhen, and others to show more concern for Sai Fuding, support his work in Xinjiang, and expand his influence in Xinjiang.
In 1954, Sai Fuding was elected vice chairman of the First National People's Congress Committee, after which he continued to serve as vice chairman of the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh National People's Congress committees, in 1993, he was elected vice chairman of the Eighth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and in 1998, Sai Fuding left his post to recuperate.
In 1955, Sai Fuding was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, which became a special example of the title that year.
From 1954 to his departure in 1998, Saifuding served as a deputy state minister for a total of 44 years, during which time he made outstanding contributions to the peaceful reunification of Xinjiang.
In 2003, Saifuding died of illness at the age of 88.
