Cixian County is the cradle and birthplace of Handan's Red Revolution, and nine "firsts" such as the first Communist Party member in the history of Handan were all born in this hot land. Among them, the first party branch in the Zhinan area was born in Xihut Village, Cixian County. Recently, the reporter came to the Memorial Hall of the First Party Branch of the Communist Party of China in Zhinan to trace the footprints of the revolutionary martyrs and listen to the stories of the revolutionary hometown.
The Memorial Hall of the First Party Branch of the Communist Party of China in Zhinan is used to commemorate the establishment of the first Communist Party branch of Handan and even the first Communist Party branch of the Communist Party of China in Handan and even in the Zhinan region - the special branch of the Communist Party of China Cixian County and the first county party committee of the Communist Party of China in Zhinan - the place where the Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China Cixian County was established.
Walking into the memorial hall of the first party branch in Zhinan, you will be greeted by the sculpture of the scene of the eight party members solemnly swearing to the party flag when the first party branch of Cixian County was established. The exhibition hall is divided into three unit themes: "Zhangban Fire", "Spark Burning Plain" and "Zhinan Flag", with 246 precious pictures of various revolutionary periods and 35 relics of the prince and Qing Dynasty telling visitors about that magnificent history——
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Ci County, located in the south of Zhili Province, was in a period of warlord melee.
On May 4, 1919, Wang Ziqing, who was studying in the 13th Provincial Middle School, took a train to Beijing to participate in the "May Fourth" Movement and met Li Dazhao. At the invitation of Li Dazhao, in November 1920, Wang Ziqing took a boat to France to work and study. During this period, he became acquainted with a large number of progressives such as Zhou Enlai and Cai Hesen, and accepted the ideas of Marxism and scientific socialism.
In December 1921, Wang Ziqing was introduced by Li Dazhao to join the Communist Party of China in Beijing and became the first member of the Communist Party of China in the Zhinan area. At this time, there were only more than 100 Communist Party members in the whole country.
In the winter of 1922, Wang Ziqing responded to the call of the Northern District Committee of the Communist Party of China to develop the Communist Party organization in his hometown, and established the first party group in the Zhinan area, with Wang Ziqing as the leader. After the establishment of the party group, under the care and instruction of Li Dazhao, Wang Ziqing and others quickly carried out the work of recruiting party members, establishing party organizations, and mobilizing the masses in Cixian County, and the spark gradually became a prairie fire.
Between 1923 and 1924, Wang Ziqing and others went to the coal kilns to propagate theories, recruit party members, establish trade unions, and spread Marxism-Leninism among teachers seeking progress. In July 1925, eight Communist Party members, including Wang Ziqing and Li Xinran, held a meeting in the West Cottage Primary School and established the first party branch in the Zhinan area, the Cixian Special Branch of the Communist Party of China, which opened a new chapter in the fighting history of the local party in Zhinan.
The flame of the first party branch of the Communist Party of China in Zhinan burned all over the land of Zhinan from Xihut Village, and revolutionary martyrs such as Zhan Yuan, Tang Shoushan, Yang Sanchao, and Zhang Zhaofeng emerged, as well as Wang Weigang, Li Qi, and Huang Hua, who held important leadership positions after the founding of New China, leaving a glorious page in the history of Handan's party.
Inherit the red culture and carry forward the revolutionary spirit. In 1990, Handan City erected a tombstone for Wang Ziqing in the Shanxi-Hebei Luyu Martyrs Cemetery to forever remember his revolutionary spirit and immortal exploits of daring to be the first and selfless dedication. In September 2020, the Memorial Hall of the First Party Branch of the Communist Party of China in Zhinan was completed in the West Cottage of Cixian County, becoming a patriotic education base. Since the completion of the new museum, tens of thousands of people have visited and studied here.
