Today's column "Striving for a Hundred Years, Setting Sail for a New Journey, Counting Popular Figures" takes you to know Wei Baqun, who bravely dedicated his life to the revolution.
Wei Baqun, born in 1894, is a native of Donglan, Guangxi. In his early years, he studied at the Guangxi Guilin Law and Politics School. In the summer of 1923, he commanded the peasant army to fight three times in Donglan County, which opened the prelude to the armed struggle of the peasants in Youjiang. At the beginning of 1925, he entered the Guangzhou Peasant Movement Training Institute to study, and after graduating, he returned to Donglan to continue to engage in the peasant movement. He joined the Communist Party of China in the winter of 1926. In December 1929, he participated in leading the Baise Uprising, established the Youjiang Revolutionary Base Area, and served as a member of the Youjiang Soviet Government and the commander of the Third Column of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. After the main force of the Red Seventh Army was ordered to go north, Wei Baqun led more than a hundred people to stay in the Youjiang base area and persist in guerrilla warfare. On October 19, 1932, Wei Baqun was killed by traitors in Donglan, Guangxi, at the age of 38.
Liu Aixin, associate professor of the School of Marxism of Guangxi University: Comrade Wei Baqun interpreted with his life the noble spirit of loyalty to the party, single-mindedness for the people, pursuit of truth, indomitability, consideration of the overall situation, and selfless dedication, and his spirit inspired the sons and daughters of china to forge ahead courageously on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
