Those Pioneers A Hundred Years Ago (51) (Wang Xiangqian)

On September 7, 1888, Wang Xiangqian was born into a landlord family in Xiangzhou Town, Zhucheng City, Shandong Province (the Wang family of Xiangzhou in Zhucheng lasted 400 years as "the family sound is impressive, guan hai daijian", and the writer Wang Tongzhao is also from this family). He studied private school at an early age, and in 1907, he graduated from Qilu Middle School and was later admitted to the Beijing Translation Academy to study German. Because Germany forcibly leased Jiaozhou Bay and borrowed the Jiaoji Railway to infiltrate its forces into the interior of Shandong, it was easier to find errands when reading German and returning to Shandong. I didn't want Wang Xiangqian to read German but read Marx. During this period, Wang Xiangqian once knew Sun Baoqi. Sun Baoqi later served as the governor of Shandong and once wrote a letter inviting Wang Xiangqian to be his staff, but Wang Xiangqian ignored it. When the Xinhai Revolution was about to break out in 1911, he came into contact with some Western culture and progressive books, sympathizing with and yearning for the revolution. In 1912, he searched for ways to save the country and the people, and resolutely went to Jinan to serve as the editor of dadong daily. The following year, he returned to his hometown to run a voluntary school, and appointed himself as a principal and teacher, spreading new ideas and cultivating a new generation of intellectuals. Because of the establishment of a new school, angering the local gentry, under pressure, he left his hometown for Jinan in 1916 to explore the revolutionary road.

After the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, Wang Xiangqian approached the young students and became good friends with Wang Gemei. In November 1920, together with Wang Gemei, Deng Enming and others, he initiated the establishment of the Lixin Society. In the spring of 1921, he joined the early organization of the Communist Party of Jinan. This year Wang Xiangqian was 33 years old. In May 1921, the early organization of the Jinan Communist Party founded the "Jinan Labor Weekly" in the supplement of the "Dadong Daily", with Wang Xiangqian as the editor-in-chief. In order to improve the status of workers and improve the lives of workers, public opinion is created. Wang Xiangqian not only volunteered to serve as the newspaper's editor-in-chief, but also sewed a cloth pocket with a red cloth on it and the words "Labor Weekly" written on it, and personally took the newspaper to the street to publicize and sell. In 1922, the Shandong Branch of the Secretariat of the China Labor Union was established in Jinan, and at the same time published the "Shandong Labor Weekly", and Wang Xiangqian was again the editor-in-chief. After the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Cpc Central Committee sent Chen Weiren to Shandong to guide the work. With the help of Chen Weiren, the Jinan branch of the Communist Party of China was established, and Wang Xiangqian was one of the nine members of the branch. In September of the same year, the Jinan Local League of the Chinese Socialist Youth League was officially established, and Wang Xiangqian, 34, became a special member of the League. In August 1923, under the leadership of the party organization, Wang Xiangqian founded the publicly published "Morning Bell Newspaper", and served as his editor-in-chief, insisting on publishing it for more than two years, which was very influential in society. He has written many popular articles exposing the authorities' satire of the times.

From 1916 to 1923, Wang Xiangqian taught at Jinan Fazheng School, Yuying School, Girls' Normal School and Qingzhou Provincial No. 10 Middle School. Everywhere he went, he used his classroom to propagate Marxism, guide young students on the revolutionary road, and develop party members. In 1920, Wang Xiangqian went to the Jinan Girls' Normal School in Shandong Province to carry out student work under the cover of being a substitute teacher. Wang Xiangqian selected articles from publications such as "New Youth" and directly introduced books and periodicals such as "The Communist Manifesto" and "Guide" to students, guiding female teachers and students to oppose old traditions and old etiquette. This caused dissatisfaction among the school authorities, and Wang Xiangqian was dismissed. Although Wang Xiangqian did not have a long time in female teacher substitute classes, he developed more than a dozen party members among female teachers. In October 1922, Wang Xiangqian was sent by the Jinan Branch of the Communist Party of China to Qingzhou to carry out revolutionary work. After arriving in Qingzhou, he served as a Chinese language teacher at Shandong Provincial No. 10 Middle School. He often used the classroom to introduce students to socialist ideas and inspire students to care about the future and destiny of the country. The first lecture he selected and printed was Class Struggle. He guided students to set up book clubs and recommended progressive books and periodicals to students, such as the Communist Manifesto, the Materialist View of History, the Discussion On Socialism, chinese youth, and the Guide, which opened up new fields of knowledge for the students. Through Wang Xiangqian's education and guidance, progressive young people Li Yunsheng, Liu Zijiu, Zhao Wenxiu, and Wang Yuanchang joined the regiment one after another, laying a foundation for the establishment and development of party organizations in the Qingzhou area.

In March 1925, the Shandong Local Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, and Wang Xiangqian was elected as a member. In April of the same year, he and other members of the prefectural party committee rushed to Qingdao to participate in the strike struggle led by Deng Enming. After the May Thirtieth Massacre, he actively organized mass demonstrations to protest the atrocities of imperialism, and was elected as a member of the Preparatory Committee of the Jinan Citizens' Snow Shame Association, drafting declarations and telegrams for the congress. In the second half of 1925, Zhang Zongchang entered Lulu, reactionary arrogance was rampant, and Jinan fell into white terror. Wanted by the enemy, Wang Xiangqian was forced to lead his family back to Zhucheng Xiangzhou and broke away from the party organization. However, he still used various forms to propagate Marxism, mobilize the masses to participate in the revolution, cover the party's underground workers, and secretly pass on a lot of information for the party.

In order to divert the attention of the stubborn forces of the same ethnic group, Wang Xiangqian deliberately grew long hair, bearded, and worked bare-chested in the fields, and later sold "good wine dishes" (roasted pork head meat), calling himself a garden, which was to respect the sacred intention of laborers. Poor people often buy meat he often does not want money, everyone affectionately calls him "good wine and six masters". Those who did not know the truth, especially those of the same ethnic group, called him "Liu Chao" (Wang Xiangqian ranked sixth, "Chao" is the vernacular of Zhucheng, meaning fool) or "Crazy Six", wang Xiangqian ignored him. In August 1927, Sun Zhongqu, who was engaged in revolutionary activities in other places, returned to Zhucheng according to the instructions of the party, and was introduced by Wang Xiangqian to the Wang Private Primary School in Xiangzhou, where he used his status as a teacher as a cover to publicize the revolution, and often held secret meetings in the school. In the autumn of 1928, Sun Zhongqu returned to the village to organize a peasant rebellion, and Wang Xiangqian substituted for him. In 1928, Wang Xiangqian's eldest daughter Wang Xiangqian (Huang Xiuzhen), who was working underground outside, was arrested in Wuhu and imprisoned in Anqing for two and a half years. Wang Xiangqian has been trying to keep sending money and clothes to encourage her to persevere in the struggle. After Wang Wei was released from prison, he went to work in the northeast, and the environment was quite difficult. Wang Xiangqian always wrote to her, encouraging her to be brave and witty. Later, the 6 sons and daughters gradually grew up, and Wang Xiangqian sent them to the front line of the War of Resistance. In 1932, Wang Naizheng, the eldest son of Wang Zhimei, was admitted to Zhucheng Junior High School. A year before graduation, Wang Xiangqian heard the news of Wang Naizheng and wrote to him, saying that he wanted to see him. Soon the school was closed, and Wang Xiangqian went to Zhucheng to find Wang Naizheng and said to him: "Your family is so difficult, I will be responsible for your schooling in the future." He also told Wang Naizheng that he would be sensible in the future, "If you want to participate in political activities, join your Lao Tzu's party." In this conversation, Wang Naizheng was greatly influenced by Wang Xiangqian, and received progressive books and periodicals such as Popular Philosophy from him. In May 1936, Wang Naizheng returned to his hometown due to the dissolution of Qufu Normal College and came to Wang Xiangqian's home. Wang Xiangqian then introduced him to meet with Zhao Zhigang and Dong Kunyi (pseudonym Liu Zhiqi), the leaders of the Zhucheng Provisional County Committee at the time, and they introduced him to the Communist Party of China. In 1942, Xiangzhou fell into a white terror, but Wang Xiangqian's family had always been a secret transportation station for the underground party, and even in the dark days under the cruel rule of the enemy and the puppets, Wang Xiangqian was never intimidated by the fierce flames of the enemy and the traitors. The pseudo-district chief once led Ou Ding to break into the Jixing Hall (Wang Xiang Qianjiatang) and threaten Wang Xiangqian to defect, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring and he was not afraid of danger. Li Yongping, a pseudo-coastal garrison stationed in Qingdao, sent people to hire Wang Xiangqian as a staff officer with heavy courtesy, but Wang Xiangqian was not moved, and also scolded Li bitterly in his reply letter. In the spring of 1945, Wang Jixiang, commander of the pseudo-Zhang Buyun Division's first division stationed in Xiangzhou, arrested Wang Xiangqian into the stronghold, and his brother Wang Zhenqian and Wang Ruiyong of the same village were implicated and imprisoned, next door to Sun Bingchao, an underground party member who had been imprisoned earlier. During this period, Wang Xiangqian, Wang Zhenqian, and Sun Bingchao encouraged each other, denounced the enemy, and were unyielding. In the summer of that year, the old sixth regiment of the Binhai Luzhong unit suddenly surrounded the stronghold, and after a night of fierce fighting, more than 700 officers and men under the false deputy division commander Wang Bangji and regimental commander Sun Junfeng were captured, more than 200 people were killed, and more than 300 people drowned by the river. Prior to this, Wang Jixiang, commander of the pseudo-Second Division, was stationed at the Shuangmiao Temple, and that night Wang Jixiang was killed by insiders. Xiangzhou was liberated, and Wang Xiangqian and others were rescued.

After the liberation of Xiangzhou, Wang Xiangqian was elected as a senator of Zhucheng County. In 1946, he was appointed as a senator of Shandong Province, and in 1950, he participated in the first people's congress of the province, and was elected as a deputy to the provincial people's congress, a member of the provincial CPPCC committee and a member of the land reform committee. After that, he studied diligently and worked hard, and died on May 29, 1956, at the age of 68.
