In the years of surging blood, the beacon of the Red Revolution burned in Gaoling, Shaanxi. A staunch Communist Party member, Liu Tianzhang, forged his tenacity into the backbone of the nation and became the pride of Gaoling. Today, we will take you into the long river of history and trace the life of this heroic revolutionary.
Liu Tianzhang, also known as Yunhan, was born in 1893 in Gaoling County, Shaanxi Province, to an ordinary peasant family. However, in that turbulent era, he became one of the early prominent leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. Liu Tianzhang's revolutionary path began on a university campus in Peiping. He was admitted to the preparatory department of Peking University in 1918 and was actively involved in the May Fourth Movement in 1919, advocating for democracy and freedom in China.
In 1921, Liu Tianzhang joined the Communist Party of China, marking his membership in the Shaanxi-Gansu District Party Committee, where he was jointly responsible for the propaganda work of the district party with Wei Yezhuo. After that, he founded the Shaanxi "National Daily" in Xi'an, contributing to the spread of communist ideas. However, in a stroke of fate, in 1930, Liu Tianzhang was sent to Shanxi to restore and develop the party organization.
However, in October 1931, the betrayal of the betrayer led to Liu Tianzhang's arrest. A month later, he died heroically in Taiyuan at the age of 38. His comrade Zhao Jiupeng wrote a poem for him: "When Taiyuan makes a revolution, it also sneaks in." Uprising in Pingding County, blood stained Fuping City. He Guang died bravely, and Tianzhang was tortured. The fire chain burned around the waist, and it was awe-inspiring through Changhong. The blood of martyrs is sprinkled, and mountains and rivers are replaced by light. Guanghua opens prosperity and luck, which is comforting in the heavenly spirit. "Liu Tianzhang is the pride and glory of the sons and daughters of the Three Qins.
However, Liu Tianzhang is not just a name, he is a shining star in the revolutionary cause, and his flesh and blood carry firm faith and tenacious will. During his short life, he was imprisoned four times, each time for defending communist ideals. On his last imprisonment, the enemy wrapped red-hot chains around his waist in an attempt to force him to reveal party secrets, but he stood by the noble integrity of a communist.
Liu Tianzhang's sacrifice and perseverance are the model of a generation of revolutionaries, who for the cause of the revolution, he was born for the revolution and died for the revolution, and used his life to interpret the true meaning of "heroes do not ask for a way out, but only how much to go".
Liu Tianzhang's influence was not only in his life, but also passed on to his children. His daughter Liu Xueqin and son Liu Desheng inherited their father's philosophy and firmness. After the liberation of the whole country, the party and the people found the remains of the martyr and held a grand burial ceremony for him at the Shuangta Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery in Taiyuan City.
There is a good saying: "Any nation needs its own heroes." "Liu Tianzhang is the hero of profound tragedy, he sowed the seeds of revolution, and although he was not able to witness the harvest day in person, his heroic deeds will always inspire us and become the eternal glory of the cause of Chinese communism." Liu Tianzhang, immortal.
