Lee Kwang-dou
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Li Guangdou (1905-1942), formerly known as Li Xuechen and Li Weixin. Born in Dingmazhuang, the fifth district of Qingping County, Shandong Province (now part of Weiwan Town, Linqing City), to a poor peasant family, he went with his parents to Ning'an County, Jilin Province (now part of Heilongjiang Province) to earn a living at an early age. In 1928, he studied at the Jilin Provincial No. 4 Middle School. After graduating from junior high school in the same year, he was promoted to the Normal Department of High School of our school. Li Guangdou was intelligent and studious, ideologically progressive, took the initiative to approach the school party group organization, actively participated in revolutionary activities, joined the Communist Party of China in 1929, and became one of the leaders of the school party group. </h1>
Li Guangdou actively organized the Party's peripheral organization, the Reading Club, organized members to circulate revolutionary books and periodicals, carried out ideological education on communist enlightenment, and expanded the Party's political influence. In the re-election of the student union cadres, the party group organization foiled the school's conspiracy to control the student union and elected Li Guangdou as the president of the student union. Adhering to the will of the Kuomintang education authorities, Wang Ziren, principal of Jilin Provincial No. 4 Middle School, promoted the "Reading of the Scriptures with Respect for Confucius" in the school, and propagated the pro-Japanese traitorous remarks of "Sino-Japanese promotion, coexistence and common prosperity." In addition, he committed corrupt acts in the construction of school buildings, and the majority of teachers and students had long been indignant at him. The Fourth Central Party Group organization conformed to the dissatisfaction of the masses and the student union came forward to hold a meeting of teachers and students of the whole school. At the meeting, Li Guangdou took the podium, counted on Wang Ziren's criminal deeds, and requested that Wang Ziren be removed from his post and investigated; this initiative was adopted by the conference, and many progressive teachers expressed their support, and fellow students in foreign villages and progressive groups from other places also called and wrote letters of solidarity. The student wave lasted for more than two months, and finally the Kuomintang Jilin Provincial Education Department had no choice but to dismiss Wang Ziren and announce the expulsion of Li Guangdou. After that, Li Guangdou went underground and served as the secretary of the Ning'an County Party Committee of the Communist Youth League.
After the "September 18" incident in 1931, Li Guangdou engaged in organizing the anti-Japanese salvation congress. Later, he joined the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army led by Zhou Baozhong and served as the regimental commander. In an encounter with the Japanese puppet army, unfortunately he suffered serious head injuries and was transferred to Burleigh for treatment. After recovering from his injuries, with the approval of the party organization, he went to the Pingjin area to participate in the Northeast Students' Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement, and later worked in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces led by Ji Hongchang. At the end of 1936, Li Guangdou returned to his native Qingping County to continue his anti-Japanese activities.
After the "July 7" Incident in 1937, the Japanese army drove south along the Jinpu and Beijing-Hankou railways and directly approached the Jilu Plain. At this time, Zhao Renquan, commissioner of the Kuomintang's four districts of Shandong Province and commander-in-chief of the Lubei Militia Regiment, attempted to coerce the Zhuang Ding and guns of the Lianzhuang Association of Linqing and Qingping Counties, and fled east across the Yellow River to the south. After Li Guangdou learned of this news, he used his connections to connect with some powerful figures in the fifth and second districts of Qingping and formulated a strategy for the struggle with guns. When the kuomintang governor of Qingping County gathered the members of the Lianzhuang Association in the county seat to give a lecture, the members of the Lianzhuang Association of the Kuomintang rose up in a clamor, rushed out of the city gate, and scattered in one fell swoop, thus smashing the conspiracy of the Kuomintang capitulation faction to flee south with guns and winning the struggle to keep guns. This gun-keeping struggle showed Li Guangdou's organizational and command ability. Since then, his name has spread in the Qingping area.
After Zhao Renquan fled south with the county officials of the four districts, some leaders of the Qinghong gang and bandits in Qingping took the opportunity to seize the people's guns and self-proclaimed themselves "anti-Japanese commanders" and dominated each side. Li Guangdou seized this opportunity and, together with Liang Zhichao and others, persuaded the township chiefs of several large townships east of the canal in the fifth district of Qingping to hand over the guns of the Lianzhuang Association to him for unified command. Through the relationship between Wang company and company level, Li Guangdou accepted the reorganization of this part of the gun by Wang Shantang and organized it into the second battalion of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, with Li Guangdou as the battalion commander. At the end of 1937, Fan Zhuxian, commissioner of the sixth district of the Kuomintang shandong province and commander of security, inspected the counties in the north of Liaocheng, and Wang Shantang, inspired by Fan Zhuxian's patriotic spirit, accepted Fan Zhuxian's reorganization and was named the twenty-ninth detachment of the anti-Japanese guerrilla in the sixth district of Shandong Province, Li Guangdou was still the commander of the second battalion, and Liang Zhichao was appointed as the clerk. During this period, higher-level party organizations successively sent party members and cadres to work in the second battalion, and established party branches in the second battalion.
In the autumn of 1938, Fan Zhuxian organized his detachment into three columns, the twenty-ninth detachment belonged to Qi Zixiu's second column, and Li Guangdou was promoted to the commander of the twenty-ninth detachment. In November, the Japanese puppet army invaded Liaocheng, and Fan Zhuxian was martyred. Li Guangdou and others led some comrades to break out separately. After that, Li Guangdou served as a reconnaissance staff officer in the advance column of the Eighth Route Army, and returned to the Qingping and Boping areas with the army to carry out the work of expanding the influence of our party and our army, which encouraged the confidence of the people in the enemy-occupied areas to persist in the War of Resistance.
In the spring of 1939, the advance column of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army marched east through Qingping, leaving several cadres for Qingping, one of whom was a female cadre named Shuibo, who went to the Fifth Brigade to do political propaganda work. Shui Bo, a native of Guizhou, was originally an exiled student in Pingjin, went to Yan'an after the "July 7" incident, studied at Northern Shaanxi Public School, and had a close relationship with Li Guangdou during his work in the Five Brigades. At the beginning of 1940, the Rusi District launched the "Sutuo" campaign, and Shuibo was mistakenly labeled "Trotskyist". In connection with the relationship between Li Guangdou and Shui Bo, he suspected that Li Guangdou had been pulled into the "Trotskyist" organization by Shui Bo and dismissed Li Guangdou for examination. In January 1940, Liu Dianchen, secretary of the Weidong County Party Committee, introduced Li Guangdou to the anti-Japanese government of Linqing County, and because his problems had not yet been concluded, he was temporarily arranged to serve as a military staff officer in the county government. Li Guangdou was carrying political baggage, and his revolutionary fighting spirit was still very high. In the spring of that year, he found that the relationship between the two cadres of the county government and the motion committee and The Kuomintang diehard Li Zijun was very abnormal, so he reported to the leaders of the county government and monitored the two cadres. Later, a platoon leader of the county brigade launched a rebellion in an attempt to kill the county government leader, and after interrogation, this platoon leader was instigated by the Kuomintang member Li Zijun in collusion with these two cadres. The Linqing County government promptly arrested the two traitors. In the autumn of that year, a company commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Hebei Northern Military Region violated the law and discipline, and the people's indignation was great, and Li Guangdou, without the approval of the organization, assigned several fighters to hang the company commander to death. After the incident, the Eighth Brigade pursued the matter and escorted Li Guangdou to the Ji'nan Public Security Bureau for review. During the trial, Li Guangdou took the initiative to admit his mistake to the organization and state the problem. Before his problems were clarified, with the permission of the organization, he also used his status as a "prisoner" to conduct reconnaissance work among prisoners, and some important cases were handled and closed after Li Guangdou's reconnaissance.
In early 1942, after repeated examinations, the Ji'nan Public Security Bureau determined that Li Guangdou was not a "Trotskyist" element and prepared to acquit him. However, during this period, there was an important case that required him to conduct reconnaissance, so he "secretly let go of the light" and temporarily left him among the prisoners. Shortly thereafter, the Japanese army implemented the "iron wall encirclement" in southern Hebei, and Li Guangdou was unfortunately shot and killed in Wei County along with the prisoners on the way to the transfer.
On January 16, 1988, the Liaocheng Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China submitted in a report to the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on the review of the Luxi Sutuo case and its opinions on handling: "Luxi District Sutuo is an unjust, false and wrongly decided case, and all comrades who have been wrongly arrested and wrongly killed and who have not yet been rehabilitated and corrected will be rehabilitated and their reputations restored. For decades, the political grime that had hung over Li Guangdou's body had finally dissipated. (Courtesy of Linqing Municipal Archives)
