Zhang Jing (1908-1968), also famous for a long time, used the names Zhang Jin, Rice Farmer, Yu Shi, etc., a native of Dujiazhuang Village, Shen County (now Shenzhou City). He studied at Tianjin Technology and Business University, Peking University, and Sino-French University, and actively participated in the student movement. After graduating from college, he worked as a translator in a French-run hospital in Minxiang, an eastern suburb of Beiping.

In May of the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931), Zhang Jing joined the Communist Party of China in Tianjin. Soon, he was sent back to his hometown by the party, and together with Song Xiguang and Wen Zhiyun, he formed the Raoyang Central County Committee and served as a propaganda committee member.

In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), he returned to the village and developed 12 people in the village, including Zhang Buqing and Wang Yunzhong and Ma Xiting of The Western Wei Village, as members of the Communist Party of China. In May, the Dujiazhuang Party Branch was established, and Zhang Jing served as secretary. In December, the Shenzhen County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, with Zhang Jing as secretary. After the establishment of the county party committee, Zhang Jing took cover as an ophthalmologist and established an underground liaison station for the special committee of the Baozhi Special Committee in the old city of Shulu County to facilitate the organization of liaison.

In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), at the temple fair in Shenxian County, he led several Communist Party members to distribute leaflets on resisting taxes, opposing Chiang Kai-shek's loans to the United States, and overthrowing Japanese imperialism, which shocked the Kuomintang shenxian authorities. That night, a frightened captain of the Public Security Bureau shouted loudly in his sleep: "Tonight there are 500 Communists coming here to riot!" As a result, all the officials of the county government were horrified and did not sleep all night.

At this time, Zhang Jing and others set up a secret printing house at Dujiazhuang Primary School. Fine sandpaper was used instead of steel plates for engraving, gauze was wrapped with cotton wool, ink was applied, and flyers were printed instead of mimeographs. After that, distribute the leaflets at the traffic intersection. To prevent being blown away by the strong wind, it is also pressed with bricks. Sometimes, Zhang Jing disguised himself as Young Master Kuo, dressed in suits and leather shoes, wore gold wire glasses, rode a bicycle, and threw rolls of leaflets into the crowd at the market.

In the winter of the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), Zhang Jing helped Dujiazhuang to organize a peasant night school attended by dozens of peasants, inspiring the peasants to consider why the poor were poor and why the capitalist landlords were rich, instilling revolutionary ideas and propagating communism. At this time, Fan Kemin, an inspector of the Special Committee for The Protection of The People's Republic of China, defected, and Zhang Jing was betrayed, and he very calmly informed the relevant comrades to move, and only then did he hide. However, he focused on recruiting party members among intellectuals, did not do enough to lead the rural class struggle, and did not get in touch with several rural party branches in the deep north in time to provide guidance, resulting in the shenzhen county party committee at that time not forming a strong leadership core.

From May of the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934) to January of the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Zhang Jing lost contact with the higher-level party organization, but insisted on working independently. He attached great importance to the cause of education in the countryside and carried out careful design and active publicity for the establishment of the Dujiazhuang Township High School.

In February of the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Zhang Jing opened a small pharmacy in the county seat of Pingshan County, and secretly served as the editor of the "Zhengyan Bao" of the Propaganda Department of the Shimen Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China. In the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), after the "July Seventh" Incident, Zhang Jing successively served as the secretary of the Xianxian County Party Committee, the secretary of the Xianxian County Party Committee, the director of the organization department of the Xianxian (County) Qing (County) Cang (County) Jianjian (Guo) Five Counties Central County Committee, the chief of the Organization Section and the Chief of the Cadre Section of the Organization Department of the Jizhong Provincial Party Committee, and the acting secretary general of the Party Committee of Jizhong District, and later went to yan'an Party School to study. After the liberation of Harbin, he served as the propaganda director, organization director and acting secretary of the Hadong Prefectural Committee. After the liberation of Tianjin, he successively served as the secretary of the 11th District Committee of Tianjin, the director of the Tianjin Porters Trade Union, the secretary general of the Tianjin Municipal Cultural and Educational Commission, and the deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Museum of Culture and History.
