Located in Yunyun Avenue, Lifeng North Road, Rongqi Street, Ronggui Street, Shunde, the former residence of Du Qizhi, surrounded by ancient banyan trees, is solemn and solemn, which is the former site of the Pearl River Delta Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In 1949, with the rapid development of the national liberation war victory situation, the underground party organizations and armed forces in the Pearl River region also ushered in a new period of great development. Under the leadership of the party, the rural party, league organizations, and revolutionary mass organizations in the counties of the Pearl River Delta have developed rapidly, various forms of mass struggle against the "three marches" have surged up, young people and progressive students in society have enthusiastically responded to the party's call and actively participated in the people's armed forces, and the activities of the armed workers' brigade have expanded rapidly.
In March of the same year, the Pearl River Delta Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Pearl River Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China") was established in Rongqi Town, making great contributions to the liberation of the Pearl River Delta by the southward army.
Du Qizhi's former residence is the former site of the Pearl River Delta Local Committee of the Communist Party of China and the former site of the Wunitang Conference.
Lead the masses to oppose the "three levies" and be violent
After the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin, the People's Liberation Army basically eliminated the main force of the Kuomintang army, the Kuomintang ruling clique tended to collapse, and the liberation of the whole country was just around the corner.
Despite this, the kuomintang government, which was at the end of its rope, continued to practice the harsh administration of the "three marches" (conscription, grain requisition, and taxation) in the counties of the Pearl River Delta region, expropriating tyranny and fishing the people, so that the broad masses of the people were even more in a deep and fiery situation. The Kuomintang local armed forces of the various counties and policemen stepped up their efforts to "clear and suppress" the people's armed forces, and the first column of the Guangdong reorganization of the Kuomintang army immediately entered Zhongshan County and Shunde County.
In January 1949, the Hong Kong Branch of the CPC Central Committee issued a new directive in light of the rapid changes in the situation and the accelerated development of the People's Liberation Army: "In the delta zone, mass work is still mainly based on opposing the 'three marches' and 'double reductions', and the focus of the party's work is to readjust institutions, establish systems, and develop and train cadres. ”
In March 1949, the Pearl River Delta Regional Working Committee of the Communist Party of China was abolished, and the Pearl River Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, which was subordinate to the Party Committee of the Guangdong-Gansu-Xiang border region. In late October of the same year, it was transferred to the South China Branch of the CPC Central Committee. The Cpc Pearl River Prefectural Committee is subordinate to the Zhongshan County CPC Committee, the Shunde County Working Committee, the Panyu County Working Committee, the Nanhai County, Sanshui County, and Zhongshan County Districts, the Commissioners of the Eighth, Third, and Ninth Districts, and the organs are stationed in Rongqi Town, Shunde County.
From late April to early May 1949, the Pearl River Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China borrowed the family of Du Qizhi of Wunitang in Rongqi Town, Shunde, to hold a meeting of the heads of party organizations in the counties and districts under its jurisdiction, also known as the "Wunitang Conference".

This was a meeting of great historical significance on the eve of the victory in the People's War of Liberation. The meeting further defined the future work policy, stressing that mobilizing the masses in the struggle against the "three marches" is still the central link at present; it is necessary to strengthen the party's work, develop armed struggle, and let go of the mobilization of the masses to oppose the Kuomintang's "three marches" and violence, do a good job in all aspects of work, and welcome the army to the south.
In order to adapt to the development of the situation and strengthen the party's leadership over all aspects of the work of ushering in liberation, the local party organizations in the Pearl River region have further adjusted and enriched the party's leading organs at all levels in accordance with the instructions of the Hong Kong Branch of the CPC Central Committee and the spirit of the Wunitang meeting of the Pearl River Prefectural Committee. In May 1949, the commissioners of Nanhai, Sanshui and other places were abolished one after another, and the CPC South (Hai) San (Shui) Hua (County) Working Committee and the CPC Central (Shan) Shun (De) Border County Working Committee were established one after another, all of which were subordinate to the CPC Pearl River Prefectural Committee.
Since its establishment, the Pearl River Prefectural Committee of the CPC has conscientiously implemented the principle of struggle of "decentralizing development, exploiting gaps in the enemy, annihilating the enemy's small units, strengthening oneself, and covering the masses," and has developed and expanded the people's armed forces through in-depth armed struggle.
While carrying out guerrilla warfare in depth and developing and expanding the people's armed forces, the CPC Pearl River Prefectural Committee and the county (worker) committees have vigorously carried out united front work, launched political offensives, and disintegrated the enemy army. After the education and persuasion of the local organization of sanshui county and underground worker Huang Chengyu, ou fang, a local power faction in Lubao town, Sanshui County, was willing to draw closer to the communist party. In July 1949, The Nansanhua Workers sent Du Lu as a representative to Lubao Town to negotiate with Ou Fang's representative Ou Guiliang (Ou Fang's eldest son), and Ou Fang, on the premise of asking for the safety of his family and property, basically accepted the conditions proposed by the South Sanhua Work Committee and surrendered his arms when the People's Liberation Army reached the border of Sanshui County in the south. In August 1949, Du Qizhi, an underground member of the Communist Party of China and mayor of Rongqi Town in Shunde County, drove liang and a group of reactionary forces led by "Big Heaven Er" out of the Ronggui area through legal struggle, and established an independent fourth detachment of the Rongqi Town People's Self-Defense Brigade.
At the same time, the CPC Pearl River Prefectural Committee and the county (worker) committees also led the work of establishing political power in the central areas of Zhongshan County and Shunde County. Under the leadership of the Shunde County Working Committee and the Zhongshunbian County Working Committee, the Rongqi Town Construction Committee with Du Qizhi as the director was established in Rongqi in May 1949 to play the role of the "white-skinned red heart" regime. In August 1949, the Shunde Southern District Working Committee invited enlightened gentry from Ronggui District to set up the Ronggui District Support Liberation Committee in Guizhou Xiaojiao Township. Various localities have successively established political power and played an important role in mobilizing and organizing the masses to do a good job in supporting and welcoming the People's Liberation Army in the liberation of the Pearl River region
With victory in all-round liberation in sight, party organizations at all levels and people's power in the Pearl River region of the CPC have mobilized urgently to actively do a good job in supporting and welcoming the People's Liberation Army to take over the city, and making positive contributions to the liberation of the Pearl River region. In September 1949, the people's armed forces in the Pearl River area had grown to 1,260 troops, and the mass armed forces were about 2,000 people.
In November 1952, according to the decision of the South China Branch, the Pearl River Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China was abolished and the Party Committee of Central Guangdong District was established. In February 1956, the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China abolished the Guangdong Central District Party Committee and established the Foshan Prefectural Committee as the dispatched agency of the Guangdong Provincial Committee.
