Liu Xian introduction
Liu Xian, also known as Liu Faxian, was born in October 1915 in Gongqiaonei Village, Puping Community, Lushan Town, Cangnan County. In June 1936, he joined the Advancing Division of the Red Army, serving as a special agent for Liu Ying and Su Yu, in September 1938, he was appointed secretary of the Dingping County CPC Committee, in 1939, he was elected as the "Seven Deputies" of the COMMUNIST Party of China, in February 1941 he arrived in Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, to participate in the rectification movement, the large-scale production movement and the Seventh National Congress of the Party, and in June 1964, he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the State Council's Development Daxinganling Battle Command.
In 1965, Liu Xian participated in production labor
On this year's Qingming Festival, the three of us and my father's old guard couple returned to their hometown to visit the place where my father once worked and lived, and in front of the "Monument to Comrade Liu Xian", they offered sweeps, planted trees, and presented flower baskets to express their sorrows. My father was a man who showed unlimited loyalty to the people, a high degree of responsibility for his work, and strict self-discipline for himself, whether in the war years or in the period of peace construction, and set a good example for us.
The process of his father joining the Red Army is full of legends; he broke through the siege to join the "Seventh National Congress" of the Central Committee, marched into the northeast to open up a base area, seriously injured and changed careers, and then struggled for ten years on the forestry front in the forestry field of Linhai SnowField, and single-handedly formed China's first provincial armed forest police corps. His loyalty, his poverty, inspired his children and grandchildren to grow throughout their lives. It has been 26 years since my father died, and I often feel that he has become a mountain, forest, lake, sea, sun, moon and star together with his comrades-in-arms.
Follow the Red Army: Poor people want to turn over
His father, whose name was Liu Faxian, was born in October 1915 in Gongqiaonei Village, Puping Community, Puping Town, Pingyang County (now Cangnan County), Zhejiang Province. At the age of 10, he herded cattle for the landlord, starved, and was bullied and scolded, so he had a stubborn and upright personality, and was jealous and hateful. In 1935, he learned that the Red Guards in the Alum Mountains had a great influence on the landlords and gentry, so he took a lot of trouble to join the Red Guards, hoping to turn over. In the procession, my father learned about the revolutionary deeds of the Red Army and had a strong hope of joining the Red Army.
At the beginning of 1935, Su Yu and Liu Ying were ordered by the central authorities to form the Advancing Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which was composed of more than 500 people, including the Political Department, the Security Bureau, the Health Bureau, and the Supply Department of the Regiment, which had broken through from the anti-Japanese advance team, plus the machine guns, guards, and communications detachments of the directly subordinate units, with Su Yu as the division commander and Liu Ying as the political commissar. In April 1936, Su Yu and Liu Yingbu entered southern Zhejiang and established the Provisional Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in Fujian and Zhejiang.
In June 1936, his cousin Liu Qingyang was sent by Ye Fei from Mindong, Fujian Province, to Gongqiaonei Village, Puping Township, to report to Liu Ying on the work of the guerrillas in eastern Fujian. Before leaving, Liu Qingyang mentioned his father's joining the Red Army. In order to cover up the eyes and ears of the Kuomintang, Liu Ying sent two Red Army soldiers to break into his father's home late at night and pretend to tie him up with his hands behind his back and take him away, and his father embarked on the revolutionary road.
However, his father's participation in the Red Army was still discovered by the local Kuomintang pseudo-armor commander, who ran to the town of Alum Mountain on the same day to report to the vigilante group. The next day, a squad of vigilante groups broke into my house, arrested my grandmother, tied me up and hung her on the flat beam of the house, and inhumanely burned my grandmother's body with two large bundles of lit incense.
Bold: Growing rapidly in guerrilla warfare
In order to consolidate the newly opened base area in southern Zhejiang, Liu Ying attached great importance to the training of local cadres, and some cadres in the advancing division also successively transferred from the troops to local work or concurrently held local leadership positions. His father was not tall, he looked like a tiger with a bear's waist, he was strong and strong, and he was still a bit cultured in the Red Army, plus he was bold and careful, brave in battle, and was deeply appreciated by Secretary Liu Ying. Soon he was transferred to work as a special agent (now known as a guard) and a Hokkien translator. In August 1936, his father joined the Communist Youth League.
In December 1936, Su Yu and Liu Ying led their troops to break through the blockade line of about 100,000 troops of the Kuomintang regular army and the security regiment, carried out an extremely arduous struggle against "encirclement and suppression", and won victories again and again in combination with the "sixteen characters" principle of Comrade Mao Zedong's guerrilla warfare and in combination with reality. My father participated in four major battles, including Lijiashan and Fengwen, and several small battles a month (guerrilla warfare in Taishun, Binh Duong, Fuding, Ruian and other places). In an ambush battle, two platoons of the enemy were destroyed at once, several machine guns were captured, and soon the enemy's plainclothes platoon and four companies of the security regiment were annihilated, which gave great encouragement to the masses, young people joined the Red Army one after another, and the guerrillas in southern Zhejiang developed even more rapidly.
In February 1938, his father joined the Communist Party of China through Liu Ying's introduction. In March, Su Yu led the main force of the advancing division to the anti-Japanese front, while Liu Ying remained in Zhejiang to persist in the struggle, and his father followed Liu Ying to the base area in southern Zhejiang. In April, the Zhejiang Provisional Provincial Party Committee decided to restore the Dingping County Party Committee, with Lin Huishan as the secretary of the county party committee and his father as the director of the youth department of the county party committee. In September, Lin Huishan was transferred to the secretary of the Fuding County Party Committee, and his father took over as the secretary of the Dingping County Party Committee.
During this period, coinciding with the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, a vigorous anti-Japanese salvation movement was set off throughout the country. He analyzed the situation at that time, focused his work on restoring the areas that were originally destroyed by the Kuomintang and opening up new areas, concentrated on propaganda and organizing anti-Japanese salvation, and consolidated and developed the anti-Japanese national united front. He personally presided over the launch of a training class for party members, and after achieving good practical results, he gradually popularized it in the whole county with a point by point, and then summed up a set of successful experiences in educating party members and the masses in the form of training classes, literacy classes, and night schools. At the same time, the method of "finding clues and relations" was adopted to actively develop party members and establish party organizations, and the revolutionary situation in The Dingping area entered a period of heyday. By October 1939, the Dingping County Party Committee had re-established more than 40 party organizations and developed more than 300 party members.
Rushing to Yan'an: Break through the siege to participate in the Seventh National Congress of the Central Committee
In July 1939, my father attended the first congress of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held in Guanjian and Matougang, Fengwu Township, Beigang, Pingyang, which was also the only party congress in Zhejiang Province during the new democratic period, with 26 participants representing nearly 20,000 party members in the province. Liu Ying made a political report and summed up his work, adopted the "Resolution on the Current Situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Tasks of the Party in Zhejiang," elected Liu Ying as secretary of the provincial party committee, and 12 people, including Liu Ying, Lin Yixin, Lin Huishan, and Liu Xian, went to Yan'an as Zhejiang deputies to attend the "Seventh National Congress" of the CPC Central Committee.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary authorities set off a second anti-communist upsurge, and the center of the suppression of the communists was moved to the rear of the Zhejiang General Rear, and the revolutionary situation in Zhejiang was very grim. The delegation received a telegram from the central authorities to the effect that the situation had been reversed, that the principal leaders of Zhejiang could not leave, and that they should persist in the struggle in Zhejiang. In addition to Liu Ying, there were also 4 people including Wu Yu who stayed at the same time, so the representatives who went to Yan'an were Lin Yixin, Lin Huishan, Liu Xian and other 5 people.
Along the way, there were many wars and difficulties, and under the escort of the underground party of the main roads, the deputies walked and fought at the same time, passing through countless enemy blockade lines, and it took more than a year to reach Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, in February 1941. In Yan'an, they were fortunate enough to be the first students of the Central Party School and the Marxist-Leninist Academy (formerly known as "Kang Da"). While studying documents such as the "Decision on Strengthening Party Spirit" and "Decision on Investigation and Study" of the Cpc Central Committee and some revolutionary works, the deputies also participated in the rectification movement and the large-scale production movement.
In April 1945, the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Yan'an. At the meeting, my father listened to the political report of Mao Zedong's "On the Coalition Government," Zhu De's "On the Battlefield in the Liberated Areas," and Liu Shaoqi's "Report on Revising the Party Constitution," as well as important reports by Zhou Enlai, Chen Yun, Ye Jianying, and Chen Yi. He recalled the congress many times later, still excited and honored, saying that he had since been baptized more thoroughly and confident in the establishment of a new regime and the communist road.
Blood and Fire Journey: Ordered to advance into the Northeast Frontier
In 1945, the Central Committee's "On Establishing and Consolidating the Northeast Base Area" was the strategy of the Party Central Committee during the Liberation War, and 100,000 troops and 20,000 party and government cadres advanced into the northeast and carried out the arduous liberation war for more than three years.
In September, my father went north with the party, government and army from Yan'an, transferred to the northeast battlefield after the surrender of Japan, participated in the three-year-long liberation war and the establishment of the new regime, and when he was the chief of the organization section of the headquarters of the South Manchuria Military Region, he successively participated in the Shenyang Liberation Battle and the "Siping Defense War", injured his left foot in the battle, and then transferred to local work, and followed the army to the heilongjiang river in northern Manchuria, while suppressing bandits and establishing a government.
In June 1946, the Tieli County Government was established, with Liu Xian as the secretary of the county party committee and Yuan Ye as the county chief, carrying out comprehensive work. Organize a 47-member pro-democracy movement team to go to the three districts of Tiansheng, Shenshu, and Tieli to transform the mass organizations of the peasant associations. In carrying out the struggle to liquidate against adultery and hegemony, Li Jingyun, the pseudo-armor chief "Nan Batian," was brought to justice on the spot. 8 peasant associations were reorganized and 96 people were raped. And mobilized young people to join the army to participate in the war, and 122 people in the county were conscripted into the army.
In February 1947, the Heinen Provincial Government was established, and Tieli County was directly under the jurisdiction of the province. The county working committee held a "training course for the backbone of land reform" and trained 60 activists. In late June, learning from the spirit of Yan'an, the county launched a "large-scale production campaign", expanded agricultural sowing, covering an area of 2600 yuan, and built a new Limin oil mill, Shengli Rice Factory, oil refinery, Shenshu Coal Mine, military quilt factory, etc., which was well received by the provincial government chairman Fan Shiren.
Lin Hai Snow Field: Ten years of forestry struggle towards victory
In 1949, the northeast was liberated first, and after the founding of New China, my father has been adhering to the northeast forestry front for more than 30 years: in 1949, he was appointed director of the Suihua Forestry Bureau of Heilongjiang, in 1952 he was the director of the Farm Management Bureau of Qiqihar Province, in 1954 he was the director of the Forestry Department of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee, the director of the Harbin Forest Engineering Bureau of the Forestry Department, the deputy director of the Provincial Forestry Department, in 1958 he was the commissioner of the Mudanjiang Prefectural Committee and the minister of forestry, in 1961 he was the director of the Forest building materials bureau of the Economic Committee of the Northeast Bureau of Shenyang, and in 1964 he was the director of the Forestry Department of Jilin Province.
In February 1964, the Party Central Committee and the State Council decided to develop and construct the Daxinganling Forest Area in accordance with the needs of national economic development and socialist construction.
In June 1964, Daxinganling established the Forest District Battle Headquarters, with Guo Weicheng, deputy commander of the Railway Corps, as the commander-in-chief.
In 1964, Premier Zhou issued a "letter of appointment"
His father was appointed deputy commander-in-chief and minister of production (Zhou Enlai issued a letter of appointment), and after attending a briefing meeting in Beijing in April, he led the deployment of battle tasks at the Harbin Headquarters in June, established the SAR government, and organized four major departments, including the Political Department, the Engineering Department, the Production Department, and the Logistics Department, and 26 departments. In November, the Central Committee of the State Council approved the establishment of the Party Committee of the Headquarters (64) No. 754, composed of 11 people, including Luo Yuchuan, He Huiyan, and Liu Xian, with Luo Yuchuan as the secretary of the special administrative region and Liu Xian as the first deputy secretary of the special administrative region. In March 1966, his father concurrently served as the director of the Forestry Management Bureau of the Daxinganling Special Administrative Region and the first secretary of the Armed Forces Department of the Special Economic Zone.
Under the direct leadership and command of the Ministry of Forestry and the Provincial CPC Committee, my father conscientiously implemented the "Planning Plan for the Development and Construction of Forestry in Daxing'anling Mountains," studied and put forward specific methods for "railway first," "counterpart contract construction," and "walking on two legs," adhered to the work style of "five sameness" and "five belts" among party and mass cadres (eating, living together, studying together, working together, and studying together; taking the lead in studying Mao, taking the lead in arduous struggle, taking the lead in overcoming difficulties, taking the lead in being diligent and thrifty, and taking the lead in abiding by the system), and adopting the spirit of "five smalls" (small climbing plows, small hand axes, small brick kilns, Small flat shoulders, small earth baskets), self-reliant, self-made, standing firm under extremely difficult conditions, settling down, and marching toward victory. In the past ten years of development and construction, the special zone has built 8 forestry bureaus and 51 forest farms, with an annual output of 2.76 million cubic meters of timber, a cumulative supply of 17.33 million cubic meters of timber, and a state tax of 160 million yuan.
During the Cultural Revolution, my father was brutally fought, and after the Cultural Revolution, he came back and suffered from cancer surgery in Shanghai. After recovering his body, he obeyed the organizational arrangements and formed the Heilongjiang Provincial Armed Forest Police Corps, the first unit on China's forestry front, serving as deputy secretary of the party committee and chief of the general team, which went from the forestry ranger team forty years ago to the public security police brigade and then to the armed police force. After retiring, his father was still concerned about the development of forestry, especially the "5.6" fire in 1987 and the "9.1" flood in 1991, he checked the map at home every day, paid attention to understanding the disaster, and contacted Chen Junsheng, then secretary general of the State Council, to talk about his experience in fire and disaster relief for many years.
In 1980, he spoke at the summary meeting of the second anniversary of the establishment of the Forest Police Force
Return from retirement: a wave of cloth full of affection
In 1982, after his father left the vice-provincial level, he was resettled back to his hometown as the vice chairman of the Wenzhou Municipal CPPCC Committee, and later spent his old age in the provincial cadre rest house.
His father was particularly loyal to the party, and at this time his health was already very bad, his left foot was injured, his right eye was removed, and his left eye had only 0.3 vision, which was almost invisible, but he had no complaints, and still insisted on going to the places where Liu Ying and Su Yu fought every year, going deep into the masses to investigate and study, going to the old areas in southern Zhejiang and remote mountainous areas, visiting villages and visiting the poor and suffering; collecting and writing hundreds of thousands of words of revolutionary historical materials, pouring out deep feelings for the old revolutionary areas.
He often said that Chairman Mao taught everyone during the Yan'an period that state affairs are the public affairs of the state, not the private affairs of one party and one faction, so he did his best to participate in the administration and discussion of state affairs, tell more stories of the Red Army and the spirit of Yan'an in all walks of life, and strive to play a role. After two years, he sincerely proposed to Wang Fang, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial CPC Committee: Let me give up my post to young comrades, who have good energy and good minds and can play a greater role.
My father was particularly poor all his life, and apart from the only Simmons, there was no furniture in the house. For him to receive a long-term revolutionary education, he felt that Simmons was also a luxury, and he was not used to sleeping, and later changed to a hard bed with his neighbors. He lives regularly, uses water and electricity, dresses and eats simply, cooks his own meals every day, and a bowl of noodles is enough. For others, it is generous, subsidizing college students to participate in social practice, leading the cadres and masses in their hometowns, building "Liu Ying Primary School", and building rural roads.
In 1991, when Peng Zhen, then chairman of the National People's Congress, came to Hangzhou, Tie Ying, the old secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, reported to Peng Zhen and introduced his father as a deputy to the Seventh Central Congress and a student of yan'an's "Anti-Japanese Congress", Peng Zhen was very happy and gave his father a precious gift, a box of "Nanniwan" tapes, and his father repeatedly sang after returning home, happy and happy like a child. In 1991, my father was rated as an outstanding communist party member in Zhejiang Province for two consecutive years and an outstanding retired cadre in Zhejiang Province for three consecutive years.
At 11:30 on May 22, 1995, my father died of illness in Harbin at the age of 80. In 1997, Li Zemin, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, wrote an inscription for him "Comrade Liu Xian's Monument".
Liu Bin (Liu Xian's fourth son), male, born in Harbin in 1954, went to the countryside in Wuchang, Heilongjiang in 1970, served in the Air Force Aviation Unit in 1973, successively worked in the training department of Shenkong and South Air Division Headquarters, transferred to local government departments in 1988, and then went to the sea to do business, and now lives in Hangzhou.
