Wang Gemei, formerly known as Wang Ruijun, was one of the founders of the Communist Party of China and an early organizer and leader of the Shandong Party organization.
But unfortunately, due to his years of travel, he finally became ill due to overwork, and died of illness in Qingdao on August 19, 1925, when he was only 27 years old.
Although Wang Gemei died young, he made great contributions to the founding of the party and the Chinese revolution, so the country and the people will not forget him.
In September 2009, Wang Gemei was selected as one of the 100 heroic and exemplary figures who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.
Wang Gemei was born on June 14, 1898, to a tenant family in Zhucheng, Shandong Province. Unfortunately, Wang Gemei's father died of a sudden illness four months before he was born, so that neither father nor son had met, so he had been dependent on his mother since childhood.
At that time, although Wang Gemei's family was poor, he also knew the importance of reading, and he had no choice but to pay for reading.
Fortunately, there was a chance reading opportunity that Wang Quanmei encountered, that is, he gave the landlord's son a reading companion.
The son of the landlord who knows how to study is not as good as the aesthetics of wang quan as a companion.
After that, Wang Gemei was able to enter the village private school, the primary primary school, and the senior primary school successively, because he studied hard, plus he was originally intelligent, so his academic performance has always been very good.
Of course, although Wang Gemei was able to study all the time, his family was too poor, so in 1915, when Wang Gemei finished primary school, he dropped out of school to work in the fields at home, when he was 17 years old.
Wang Gemei worked in the fields at home for two years.
In these two years, he not only learned the farm work at home, but also made him more deeply aware of the difficulties of the working people.
The most important thing is that Wang Gemei also sees unfairness and inequality.
Because at that time, the working people worked hard all day long, but after a year, even the most basic food and clothing were difficult to solve, let alone support the family. And the landlord does not have to work every day, but he is clothed and eaten, glorious and rich,
Therefore, Wang Gemei felt that this was unfair to the working people, but at that time he had not yet found a suitable solution.
At this time, although China was poor and weak, some progressive ideas and progressive spirits had spread in the land of China. In this regard, Wang Dumei did her best to find progressive books and periodicals in order to seek progressive ideas.
Through books and periodicals, Wang Gemei accepted progressive knowledge, and his thinking also underwent a great change, and gradually established the belief in saving the country and the people.
Whenever she thought of this, Wang Gemei had a strong desire to seek the road to save the country and the people. Of course, he also deeply knows that his current knowledge is far from enough, and he still needs to learn.
In 1918, the provincial city of Jinan official school can apply for the examination, and in April, Wang Gemei bid farewell to his newly married wife and went to Jinan. In July of the same year, Wang Gemei was admitted to the preparatory class of Shandong Provincial First Normal School.
On May 4, 1919, the May Fourth Patriotic Movement led by Chen Duxiu broke out, and this patriotic movement developed rapidly and soon swept across the land of Shenzhou.
The direct cause of the May Fourth Patriotic Movement was the Shandong problem, so when the May Fourth Movement spread to Shandong, Shandong people were more enthusiastic and active in joining it.
Of course, Wang Gemei is no exception.
At that time, Wang Gemei and her classmates participated in the assembly and parade together, organized a strike together, and propagated patriotic ideas, during which he was also draped obliquely with a cloth strip that read, "Return my mountains and rivers."
The May Fourth Patriotic Movement was a patriotic movement against imperialism and feudalism. It was this movement that directly influenced the birth and development of the Communist Party of China, which opened the prelude to the new people's revolution and also opened the beginning of the new democratic revolution.
After that, the spread, research and propaganda of Marxism in China gradually became the mainstream of progressive ideological circles. After the baptism of the May Fourth Movement, some advanced intellectuals also gradually accepted Marxism and embarked on a journey to seek the road of the Chinese revolution, and Wang Gemei was one of them.
In March 1920, Wang Gemei and Li Dazhao of Peking University initiated the "Marxist Doctrine Research Society" and became a correspondent of the research society in Jinan.
In the autumn of the same year, Wang Gemei and Deng Enming and others established the Marxist Theory Research Association in Jinan, and in November, Wang Gemei and Deng Enming initiated the establishment of the Lixin Society.
In this process, Wang Gemei gradually accepted Marxism, determined the belief in Marxism, and gathered a group of advanced intellectuals who shared the same ideals as himself, and it was precisely because of these factors that he laid a good foundation for the establishment of the party organization in Shandong later.
In August 1920, the Shanghai Communist Party was established early, with Chen Duxiu as secretary, and then Chen Duxiu joined forces with Jinan, Shandong province to organize the Communist Party.
In the spring of 1921, with the efforts of Wang Gemei, Deng Enming and others, with the help of the early organization of the Shanghai Communist Party and the early organization of the Communist Party of Beijing, the early organization of the Jinan Communist Party was finally established.
The establishment of the Jinan Communist Party organization has brought hope to the future of the people of Shandong.
In 1921, the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Shanghai, and representatives of Communist Party organizations in various places attended this significant meeting, of which Wang Gemei and Deng Enming attended the meeting on behalf of the Jinan Communist Party organization.
As a major representative of the party and one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, Wang Gemei's exploits will forever be recorded in the annals of history, and his life has begun a new journey.
After the founding of the Communist Party of China, Wang Devoted herself wholeheartedly to the development of the workers' movement and party organizations.
However, because he worked non-stop all year round, he was overworked and contracted tuberculosis. But even if he were, for example, he still traveled to Jinan, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places.
On August 19, 1925, Wang Gemei finally fell seriously ill and died of illness in Qingdao at the age of 27.
Wang's life was a life of revolution, a life of fighting, and a brilliant life. He is a revolutionary ancestor who will always be remembered by future generations.
