Speaking of revolutionary female martyrs, we can think of Yang Kaihui, imprisoned, Zhao Yiman, Jiang Zhuyun and others, their deeds are touching and worthy of being praised by future generations.
Chen Kangrong, a little-known revolutionary female martyr, a top student of Xiamen University, an intellectual, participated in the revolution for his ideals and joined the Communist Party. In 1940, Chen Kangrong was arrested for betrayal by a traitor, and he would rather die than betray confidential information, and was tortured to death by the enemy, and died heroically.
Patriotic overseas Chinese heroine
In 1915, Chen Kangrong was born in an overseas Chinese family in Myanmar, his ancestral home is Yongding, Fujian, and his father Chen Ximei studied in Japan in his early years, and joined the League led by Sun Yat-sen in Yangon, Myanmar, and actively participated in the Xinhai Revolution and devoted himself to the revolution.
Influenced by his father, although Chen Kangrong was born in Myanmar, he has always longed to return to China and devote himself to the revolutionary movement. Chen Kangrong was smart and studious, received education from an early age, and returned to his hometown Yongding with his father in 1930 to visit relatives, and has stayed and developed since then.
Soon after, Chen Kangrong entered Xiamen Jimei Normal High School to study, and during his time at the school, he participated in the patriotic salvation movement, accepted progressive ideas, and was willing to fight for the revolutionary cause all his life.
Under the pressure of the Kuomintang reactionaries, Chen Kangrong once returned to Burma, where he joined the anti-Japanese salvation movement while teaching at the local overseas Chinese girls' middle school, propagating revolutionary ideas, and allowing more young children to receive new ideological education and leave the family and join society.
In 1937, when the revolutionary situation improved slightly, Chen Kangrong returned from Burma and was admitted to Xiamen University and became a top student. During this period, Chen Kangrong joined the Communist Party and actively led and participated in anti-Japanese activities under the leadership of the organization.
After the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression after the July 7 Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party joined hands to resist Japan, Chen Kangrong personally went to the front line to comfort the anti-Japanese soldiers, as a weak woman, she has courage and courage, and she has a patriotic heart, which makes many men feel ashamed.
Under the leadership of Chen Kangrong, more and more patriotic overseas Chinese youths joined the anti-Japanese contingent and studied together in Xi classes led by the Communist Party, Xi cultivating a large number of young revolutionaries.
In March 1938, when the New Fourth Army went to the anti-Japanese front line in Jiangsu and Anhui, Chen Kangrong could have stayed in the rear to work, but she insisted on returning to her hometown Yongding to participate in the anti-Japanese struggle and put herself in danger.
In Yongding, Chen Kangrong actively publicized the anti-Japanese struggle to save the country, encouraged young people to join the army, and raised funds for the front-line troops. Under the leadership of Chen Kangrong, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people of Yongding was high, and she contributed a lot to those who had money and those who had people. At a time when the motherland is in danger, people like Chen Kangrong need to stand up bravely, she is a true patriot.
The heroine was tortured to death
It was a fortunate thing for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to join hands to resist Japan, and they never thought that the Kuomintang reactionaries would sabotage the overall situation of resistance against Japan for their own selfish interests and do things that were beneficial to the Japanese invaders.
In 1940, the Kuomintang diehards in western Fujian were openly anti-communist, aiming their guns at the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the communists. In the face of the provocation of the Kuomintang diehards, Chen Kangrong received the task of organizing and secretly set about forming a guerrilla force to combat the enemy's arrogance through armed struggle.
Unfortunately, in August 1940, Chen Kangrong was arrested at home for betraying him as a traitor. In order to make Chen Kangrong rebel, the enemy used both soft and hard, and first used a lot of money to buy her.
Chen Kangrong was furious, scattered the banknotes placed in front of him by the enemy, and said sharply: The communists don't want your stinky money.
Buying with money didn't work, and the enemy played the emotional card and wanted to introduce her to a partner to marry. Chen Kangrong resolutely refused to comply, saying that he would not hand over the list of Communist Party members, preferring to be beaten to death.
The enemy with poor skills showed his true colors, and threatened viciously: You will be given three days to write a good confession, otherwise you will be skinned.
Three days later, the enemy read the confession written by Chen Kangrong and saw two sentences on it: Youth is incomparably valuable, why mention reunion? For the sake of justice, why be afraid of peeling off heavy skins!
When the enemy at the head saw it, he trembled with anger and ordered his subordinates to drag Chen Kangrong out to humiliate and torture, she was beaten and bruised all over her body, and she was dying.
The enemy lost patience and finally asked: "Is it a trick or not?" Chen Kangrong was already tortured to the point that she couldn't speak, her expression was firm, she resolutely refused to give in to the enemy, closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
On September 15, the enemy escorted Chen Kangrong to the execution ground, dug a large pit, and buried her alive. When the executioner pushed Chen Kangrong into the pit, she used all her strength and shouted: Down with the traitors and traitors, long live the Communist Party of China, long live the people!
Chen Kangrong died heroically, only 25 years old, this is the best age for a woman, she can have a good life, for the motherland and the people, she sacrificed herself, awakened countless people, this great love is moving.
In order to commemorate the heroine Chen Kangrong, the Yongding County Party Committee decided to name a guerrilla unit as the "Kangrong Detachment" to praise her heroic deeds. After the establishment of the "Kangrong Detachment," the members of the "Kangrong Detachment" took Chen Kangrong as an example and fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, eliminate the Kuomintang diehards, continue to grow and develop, and won the final victory.
