The hero of the anti-rape on the hidden front: Tan Zhongyu
On December 21, 2018, the party committee and government of Gucun Town, Baoshan District, erected the monument to the revolutionary martyr Tan Zhongyu in the green space next to the basketball court in Shengzhai Village, which became an on-site teaching point for party sex education. Tan Zhongyu, a hero and revolutionary martyr of the CPC Central Committee, was killed in Dingbian County in northern Shaanxi as early as 1936. On October 1, 2013, the Dingbian County People's Government built a tombstone for him at the Dingbian Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery and inscribed an article entitled "Tan Zhongyu Martyr, Chief of the Third Section of the Special Section of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China" to introduce Tan Zhongyu's revolutionary deeds.

Tan Zhongyu, also known as Tan Hongjiang, also known as Tan Zhongyu, Tan Zongyu, scientific name Tan Weiyue, pseudonym Zhou Ping, Chen Pingxin, etc., was born in 1906 in TanJiazhai, Shengzhai Village, Gucun Town, with a total of 6 brothers and sisters, ranking third. Zhongyu learned martial arts from an early age, would pull erhu, and began to study at a private school in his hometown at the age of 5, but was forced to drop out of school due to family difficulties, and at the age of 15, he went to The Xincheng Rice Shop on North Sichuan Road in Shanghai as an apprentice. Because of his integrity, intelligence and ability, a progressive-minded master, Hua Jingen, who lived in Pudong, often told him revolutionary stories, took him to workers' rallies, and borrowed some progressive books to show him and enlighten his ideological consciousness. In 1923, he joined the Red Trade Union, often participating in the shanghai rice strike and other activities. In March 1927, he participated in the Third Workers' Armed Uprising in Shanghai, worked as a traffic officer in The Huzhong District, and joined the Communist Party of China. In 1927, the CPC Central Committee established the Special Affairs Section directly under the Central Military Commission, and after the RETURN OF THE CPC Central Committee organs to Shanghai at the end of the year, the Special Section was led by the Central Special Committee and directly commanded by Zhou Enlai, which was divided into four sections: General Affairs, Intelligence, Operations, and Transportation. The main components of the three sections are the "red team" that frightens The Kuomintang agents and traitors, and their main tasks are to safeguard the safety of the Party Central Committee and its leaders, to abduct and rescue captured CPC leaders, and to suppress traitors who betray their organizations and traitors and spies who pose a threat to the CCP. Tan Zhongyu was soon transferred to the Central Special Branch Action Section and became the main young party member cadre in the early stage of special branch. As one of the leaders of the Red Brigade, from 1927 to 1932, he was active and brave, participating in the work of leading the Red Team to suppress traitors, rescue arrested comrades, and raise funds for the Party, the most influential of which was the sensational action of killing bai Xin, a traitor who betrayed Nanchuan Peng Pan and others.
In July 1929, Bai Xin, as the secretary of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, secretly surrendered himself to the Shanghai Municipal Party Department of the Kuomintang and betrayed Peng Pan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, secretary of the Agricultural Committee and secretary of the Military Commission of the Jiangsu Provincial Cpc Committee, and Yang Yin, alternate member of the Politburo. On August 30, Peng Pan and others were shot dead by the Kuomintang. When the news came, it aroused the grief and indignation of the whole party, and Zhou Enlai personally drafted articles such as "The Fourth Comrade Peng Yangyan Xing was Hunted and Killed by the Enemy," "The Manifesto of the Communist Party of China Against the Kuomintang's Massacre of Workers and Peasants," and "Answering the Counter-Revolutionary Massacre with the Revolutionary Struggle of the Masses," calling on people to "step on the blood of the martyrs who died, and keep working hard and fighting forward!" At the same time, he clearly ordered: "We must destroy the enemy and kill the traitor Bai Xin." Teco studied the strict action plan and decided that Tan Zhongyu and 10 other members of the red team would shoot Bai Xin with a pistol near Xiafei Road (now Middle Huaihai Road) where Bai Xin was staying and Fan Mansion at No. 43 Hefang Fourth Lane, and then quickly evacuate. In the afternoon of November 11, Tan Zhongyu and others infiltrated the alleys around Bai Xin's residence, dressing up as hawkers, tinkers, clothes deliveries, or passers-by. At 10 o'clock in the evening, two cars drove to the front of the Fan Mansion, and the bodyguards and servants carried their luggage for a while, but Bai Xin still did not show up. After about an hour of touching, six or seven people walked out of the back door of the mansion, bai xin was also among them, and the red team members quickly rushed over to shoot at Bai Xin. Wrapped around the crowd, Bai Xin was not hit by the first row of bullets. Realizing that a great disaster was imminent, he drew his gun and returned fire, while taking the road and fleeing. Three members of the red team chased after Bai Xin, who was running wildly, and finally knocked him down when he ran out of more than 20 gates, including Tan Zhongyu who fired a fatal bullet and killed him. Bai Xin, escorted by many bodyguards, still could not escape the pursuit of Teco, which shocked the whole of Shanghai. Dozens of newspapers rushed to report on Bai Xin's killing. Some newspapers also exaggerated it with red headlines, calling it "the first assassination in the East." The "Times" published on November 13 published an article entitled "The Truth About the Assassination of The Former Sunset Xiafeilu", which wrote: "Bai Xin was crouched on his side at the seventy-first gate, leaning against the door... It was wounded in the back of the head, and the white brain was red and blood flowing from the bullet. ”
In August 1930, Cai Fei, chief of the third section of the special section, was arrested and defected, and Tan Zhongyu succeeded him as the chief of the third section. After Gu Shunzhang's rebellion in April 1931, the Party Central Committee sent Chen Yun and Kang Sheng to lead the work of the special section, with Kang Sheng concurrently serving as the chief of the third section and Tan Zhongyu as the deputy section chief, continuing to lead the "red team". During this period, Tan Zhongyu married Zhou Huinian, a member of the special branch who had come to Shanghai from Xinyang, Henan, to engage in revolutionary work. On June 22, Xiang Zhongfa, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, was arrested. Zhou Enlai learned that Xiang Zhongfa had been arrested and immediately arranged for rescue, but soon the news came that Xiang had defected. Zhou Enlai was suspicious of this. Xiang Zhongfa lived with Zhou Enlai at that time, had the key to the door, and if he rebelled, he would bring agents to search for him. In order to verify whether Xiang Zhongfa really rebelled, Zhou Enlai instructed Tan Zhongyu to lead people to monitor his original apartment. Tan Zhongyu led a member of the red team to set up a wonton stall on Xiaoshadu Road. In the middle of the night, they saw a group of spies escorting a person to Zhou Enlai's apartment and using the key to open the back door... Obviously, the news of Xiang Zhongfa's rebellion was accurate. During the days of verifying and confirming Xiang Zhongfa's rebellion, Zhou Enlai took refuge in the homes of Tan Zhongyu and Zhou Huinian. Zhou Huinian recalled in his later years: After Zhou Enlai came, he and Tan Zhongyu rested in the big bed, and she moved out of the small bed to sleep in another place. In November, Tan Zhongyu's situation in Shanghai was made even more difficult by the arrest and mutiny of Wang Shide, a member of the Special Branch, and the party organization decided to send the couple to work in the Eyu Border Soviet District. Tan Zhongyu went to the Red 26th Division as the political commissar of the division, and Zhou Huinian went to work in the Women's Work Committee of the Soviet District Special Committee. Because the enemy was strong and we were weak, the base area was lost in just a few months. Tan Zhongyu and Zhou Huinian were forced to return to Shanghai in early 1932. However, Tan Zhongyu still had difficulty carrying out activities in Shanghai, so the central government sent him to the Soviet Union to study. Zhou Huinian stayed in Teco to work because he had just given birth.

In October 1935, the Central Red Army's Long March reached northern Shaanxi in victory. In the United States writer Hasson. Salisbury's book The Long March: Unheard Of Stories records that "since Chen Yun's arrival in Moscow in August 1935, the Comintern has stepped up its efforts to restore ties with China. It's not an easy job. They once sent a delegation from Outer Mongolia, disguised as caravans, carrying radio equipment, and tried to cross the desert into China, but south of the Gobi Desert, they were annihilated by Majia army cavalry or rogue bandits. This delegation is led by Tan Zhongyu (pseudonym Chen Pingxin). In March 1936, Tan Zhongyu and six other people dressed as merchants, led more than 10 camels, and crossed the desert to Gaomiao Bay and Gengzhuang in Xuezhuang Township, Dingbian County. Because they spoke with a southern accent and were unfamiliar with the road, they were discovered by the local reactionary vigilante group. After two days of fighting, Tan Zhongyu was arrested while negotiating with the vigilante group, and 5 other people were killed. On a dark and windy night in late June, the reactionary vigilante group buried Tan Zhongyu alive with 25 captured Red Army soldiers in the northwest corner of Anbian City. After the founding of New China in 1949, the Dingbian County People's Government moved the remains of revolutionary heroes who were killed by the reactionary militia to the Dingbian Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery for burial in 1955.
Wusong Railway Workers Leader: Sun Jinchuan
Martyr Sun Jinchuan
Sun Jinchuan, born on January 22, 1895, also known as Fang Gan, used the names Sun Jingchuan and Sun Jisheng, a native of Sunchang Village, Shuangqiao Town, Shou County, Anhui Province. Sun Jinchuan began studying at the age of 6 and was admitted to middle school after graduation. In 1908, due to the difficulties of family life, Sun Jinchuan's family moved to Nanjing, dropped out of school to start an apprenticeship life, and entered the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau to learn crafts and work as fitters. In 1917, Sun Jinchuan went to Shanghai Rihui Xingfa Machinery Factory to work, and then was unjustifiably dismissed by the factory for fighting for an injured worker, and returned to work in the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau in Nanjing. In 1922, his father died of overwork, and Sun Jinchuan led his family of 7 people to relocate to Zhao Jiazhai No. 2 opposite Zhang Huabang Wusong Machine Factory. Sun Jinchuan and his younger brother Sun Qingchuan entered the Greater China Spinning Mill to work. In the spring of 1923, the two entered the Shanghai Railway Wusong Locomotive Factory (the predecessor of the Qishuyan Locomotive Company of CRRC Group, relocated to Qishuyan in Changzhou before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937), and worked as fitters in the air-conditioning room of the No. 1 Factory. The tempering of hard life has created Sun Jinchuan's unique strong, upright, courageous and courageous character of daring to struggle.
In the second half of 1923, Xu Meikun, an executive member of the Shanghai Prefectural Committee and District Committee of the Communist Party of China and in charge of the Shanghai labor movement, established regular contact with Sun Jinchuan of the Wusong Machine Factory through the introduction of Chen Nianzhi, an underground party member of the Great China Spinning Factory, in order to work among railway workers. Since then, under the leadership of the party, Sun Jinchuan has begun to actively participate in the workers' movement and embarked on the revolutionary road. In April 1924, Sun Jinchuan, together with He Zhiqiu, a medical student at Tongji University, jointly founded the Wusong Workers' School (i.e., the Civilian School), which recruited workers from the Railway Factory, Huafeng Spinning Factory, and Greater China Spinning Factory to learn cultural knowledge and spread revolutionary ideas. On April 20, the Wusong Workers' School opened, and Deng Zhongxia, an executive member of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, attended the opening ceremony and came to Wusong many times to contact the workers and promote the development of the workers' movement.
On May 30, 1925, the "May Thirtieth" massacre that shocked China and foreign countries occurred. On the night of May 31, more than 100 workers of the Wusong Machine Factory, under the leadership of Sun Jinchuan, disregarded the obstruction and threats of the British factory director Mao Erwei and the foremen, and marched to downtown Shanghai on foot with thousands of workers and students in the Wusong area, including the Yong'an Second Factory, huafeng spinning factory, China Iron Factory and Tongji University, China Public School, Merchant Marine School, and Aquatic School. The next day, they participated in an unprecedented anti-imperialist patriotic demonstration on Nanjing Road. At the beginning of June, Peng Ganchen, a member of the Huangpu Special Branch of the CPC Central Committee, the All-China Federation of Railways, and the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, and Wang Jiandong, director general of the All-China Railway General And Commissioner of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, who had just returned from studying at the Eastern University of the Soviet Union, went to Wusong Machine Factory to open up the shanghai-Nanjing, Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo railway work. They discussed with Sun Jinchuan and decided to open a workers' voluntary night school (referred to as the workers' night school) at the Wusong Machine Factory, using the study of culture as a cover to unite and educate the workers and the masses in a legal form of organization. On August 21, Sun Jinchuan was introduced by Peng Ganchen and Wang Jingdong to join the Communist Party of China. Subsequently, the party organization arranged for him to participate in the work of the independent branch of Wusong and to lead the "Shanghai-Nanjing-Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo" two-way railway workers' movement. Soon, Sun Jinchuan was appointed by the National Railway General Administration as the commissioner of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. At the end of the year, Wusong Machinery Factory established the first BRANCH of the CPC, the Technical Branch, and Sun Jinchuan served as the first secretary of the Party Branch.
In the winter of 1926, Zhou Enlai came to Shanghai to participate in the leadership of the Shanghai workers' armed uprising. Soon after Zhou En's arrival in Shanghai, he came to the home of Sun Jinchuan, the second number of Zhang Huabang's Zhao family house, and was warmly received by the Sun family. Sun Jinchuan reported on the history and current situation of the Wusong Machine Factory and the Two-Way Workers' Movement, and Zhou Enlai gave detailed instructions on the preparations for the railway workers' movement, strikes, and uprisings. The first time the two met and talked, they left a good and deep impression on each other, and became friends with Mo Rebellion, and since then Zhou Enlai and Sun Jinchuan's family have established a deep relationship.
On February 17, 1927, the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Hangzhou. On February 23, in order to win the victory of the third armed uprising of the Shanghai workers, a special committee (hereinafter referred to as the "special committee") composed of eight leaders of the CPC Central Committee and the Shanghai District Committee, including Chen Duxiu, Zhou Enlai, Luo Yinong, Zhao Shiyan, and He Songlin (i.e., Wang Shouhua), served as the highest decision-making and command organ for the uprising, and at the same time established a special military committee headed by Zhou Enlai (hereinafter referred to as the "Special Military Commission"), and Zhou Enlai and Zhao Shiyan were appointed as the chief and deputy commanders of the third armed uprising of the Shanghai workers. In mid-March, in the name of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Federation of Trade Unions and the Strike Committee, Sun Jinchuan organized the Wusong Machine Factory and the Shanghai Railway Strike Workers and set up a 600-member picket brigade of railway workers, with Sun Jinchuan as the captain and Zhou Changfu, Lu Linqing, and Sun Qingchuan of the Wusong Machine Factory as the squadron leaders. On March 21, the CCP Special Committee issued an order to hold a third armed uprising. At noon on the same day, the main force of this railway workers' picket was arranged by the uprising command organ to participate in the uprising in the Zhabei district and the southern urban area of the north and south railway stations. Sun Jinchuan personally led more than 200 railway workers' pickets to participate in the Nanshi uprising. The railway workers' pickets fought bravely and bravely, were not afraid of sacrifice, played an important role as a commando team in the whole process of the uprising, and cooperated with the workers of the city to win the victory of the uprising. On April 7, the trade union federations in Wusong District held a trade union congress, and Zhou Enlai came to congratulate him and delivered an important speech. The congress elected 18 members and 6 alternate members, and Chen Hong and Sun Jinchuan were elected as the chairmen and deputy directors (also known as the chairman and vice chairman).
In mid-November 1927, Sun Jinchuan went to work for the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, and in March 1928, he was appointed Secretary of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee. In July of the same year, Sun Jinchuan was arrested and imprisoned for betrayal by traitors. The insidious enemy knew that Sun Jinchuan was an important figure in the Communist Party and tried to bribe him by means of coercion and inducement. They said to Sun Jinchuan: "As long as you say it, you can be released, and you can be reused, otherwise..." Sun Jinchuan replied emphatically: "If you throw a red flag, you will never throw a white flag." Before dawn on October 6, the enemy escorted Sun Jinchuan to the execution ground. Sun Jinchuan angrily rebuked the enemy: "Shoot me one, and there are ten more!" Shoot ten! And a hundred more! Thousands of revolutionaries, you can't kill them all! And chanted , " Down with the counter-revolutionary Kuomintang government !" "Long live the Chinese Communist Party!" The enemy hurriedly blocked Sun Jinchuan's mouth with a towel, tied Sun Jinchuan and others to the execution ground with a rope, and dragged Sun Jinchuan and others to the execution ground, and Sun Jinchuan was heroically sacrificed. On October 20, the 21st issue of "Shanghai Workers", edited and published by the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, published a eulogy "Mourning Our Dead, Comrade Sun Jinchuan": "Comrade Sun Jinchuan is a member of the Communist Party of China and the leader of our working class... Co-workers! Comrade Sun died fighting for doctrine, for the interests of our proletariat, and we should not forget his death and try to avenge him. In 1982, the tomb of Sun Jinchuan Martyr was moved into the Yuhuatai "Well-known Martyr" cemetery. In Huaxi Park, in the workshop area of The Qishu Machine Factory of CSR Group, a statue of Sun Jinchuan was erected in the 1980s.
Xu Keqiang, a famous hero of the War of Resistance
On August 24, 2015, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Ministry of Civil Affairs promulgated the second batch of 600 famous anti-war heroes (heroic groups), of which Xu Keqiang, political commissar of the Taizhou Independent Regiment of the 1st Division of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army and the 3rd Military Division of the Soviet Central Military Region, was listed among them, becoming the only Baoshan people listed as famous heroes of the War of Resistance.
Xu Keqiang (second from right) poses with refugees at shanghai International No. 1 Refugee Shelter
Xu Keqiang, whose nickname is Kaijia and whose scientific name is Shixiang, was born in 1908 to a peasant family in Nanxujiawan (now part of Songnan Township) in Yinhang Township, Baoshan County. In 1927, he joined the Communist Youth League and became a member of the Wusong District Committee of the Communist Youth League in February of the following year. Due to the betrayal of traitors, Xu Keqiang was arrested and imprisoned in May 1933. The dark and dark life and inhuman torture seriously damaged Xu Keqiang's thin body and contracted tuberculosis. Together with his friends, under the leadership of the party organization, he insisted on carrying out the struggle in prison. In 1937, after the "August 13" incident, Xu Keqiang was released and joined the Communist Party of China after an organizational inspection. In September of the same year, the Shanghai Party organization sent Xu Keqiang as an ordinary refugee to the First International Refugee Shelter to carry out anti-Japanese rescue work, and successively served as a member of the branch organization and secretary of the branch. He united refugees, propagated anti-Japanese propaganda, developed party members, and successively trained and transported hundreds of backbone cadres, contributing to the strengthening of revolutionary forces.
In 1941, Xu Keqiang successively served as the director of the organization department of the Suzhou County CPC Committee and the secretary of the Xiaolu District CPC Committee, the secretary of the Suzhou County CPC Committee, and the director of the organization department of the Cpc's Suzhou, Chang and Taigong Committees. In July, the Japanese and Puppets launched a "qingxiang" in the Su (Suzhou), Changshu, and Taicang areas with 40,000 troops, and built a fence along the Suchangtai Highway and surrounded the barbed wire fence, and the arrogance was very arrogant. At this time, Xu Keqiang, who was the head of the organization department of the Su Changtai Work Committee, according to the instructions of the East Road Special Committee, in order to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge and accumulate revolutionary strength, arranged for most of his personnel to retreat to the Cheng (Jiangyin) Xi (Wuxi) Yu (western Changshu) area outside the encirclement. When assembling on the outside line, Xu Keqiang suddenly found that there was another female cadre of the Suzhou County Party Committee named Wang Jing who had no news, and was probably still surrounded in the reeds. With the determination that he would never let a comrade fall into the enemy's mouth, Xu Keqiang disregarded his own life and ran into the encirclement circle that had been difficult to withdraw. He searched carefully one place after another, and finally found Wang Jing in a small boat in Ludang. I saw Wang Jing's face flushed, lying dying on the boat. It turned out that Wang Jing could not withdraw from the enemy's eyes due to the high fever for several days, and he could not withdraw from under the eyes of the enemy, so he had to hide on the ship and resign himself to fate. Wang Jing suddenly saw Xu Keqiang's tears rolling and his feelings were mixed. In the end, with the help of Xu Keqiang, she was safely out of danger.
According to Xu Ye (later renamed Qian Ye, who was then a member of the Xiaolu District CPC Committee of Suzhou County, who was then serving as a member of the Suzhou County Xiaolu District Cpc Committee), recalled: In the summer of 1940, on the orders of the Shanghai Party organization, I withdrew to work in Xiaolu District, Suzhou County, a guerrilla zone behind enemy lines in Jiangnan, and my superior was Xu Keqiang, who was then the director of the organization department of the Suzhou County CPC Committee and secretary of the Xiaolu District CPC Committee. Although Secretary Xu is very thin, pale, and often coughs, he often goes barefoot, rolls up his trouser legs, clips a pair of cloth shoes under his armpits, and travels back and forth on the passageways of counties and districts in a furious manner. Once, after arranging work, he seemed extremely tired and asked me to find a quiet place for him to rest a little before going back to the county. I put a wicker chair in the hall house of the landlord's sister-in-law's house and told him to lie down and close his eyes. It didn't take long to hear him call me urgently: "Little money, little money, fast, get me a bowl!" "I thought he was going to drink water, so I took a large bowl on the stove and gave it to him. I was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of me, and I didn't know what to do for a while, but my eyes stared straight at the blood in the bowl on his hand. When he saw that I was so frightened, he shook his hand at me vigorously. After he eased up slightly, he said to me lightly: "Don't panic, it's already an old problem, nothing, rest and rest will be fine." He did not take his illness to heart at all, but devoted his heart to revolutionary work day and night.
In the same year, according to the instructions of the East Road Special Committee, Xu Keqiang withdrew from the Suzhou, Chang, and Tai regions, transferred to the three sub-districts of central Jiangsu, and at the end of the year served as deputy secretary of the county party committee and director of organization of Tai County (present-day Jiangyan District, Taizhou). Beginning in the second half of 1941, after the Japanese and puppets repeatedly succeeded in "clearing the countryside" in southern Jiangsu, they mobilized their forces to expand into the central Soviet region in a menacing manner, and the people were not happy everywhere they went. Tai County, where Xu Keqiang is located, is surrounded by enemies and puppets, and the struggle situation in the three sub-districts of the Soviet Union and Central China is particularly bad. The Taixian County Party Committee and county government organs are often attacked by the enemy here, and the situation of struggle is difficult to open. In May 1942, Xu Ke was appointed secretary of the county party committee and political commissar of the Independent League. In the face of the dangerous environment, Xu Keqiang was fearless, organized local armed forces throughout the county, and coordinated with the New Fourth Army to actively carry out the struggle against "clearing the countryside" and "sweeping up" to deal a fierce blow to the enemy. They ambushed the enemy in the west of Taizhou, attacked the enemy's puppet stronghold in the sheng ancestral hall in southeast Taizhou, attacked the East Banqiao bridge in Jiangyan, broke through at the DongguanDuo, and stopped and swept away the Japanese and puppets at the Wangjia Bridge, achieving a series of battle results and inflicting heavy setbacks on the enemy.
On June 30, in order to open up the situation, the Taixian County Party Committee, the county government and the independent regiment advanced from yazhouzhuang in the central area to the west of the Jiang (Yan) and Huang (Qiao) rivers. On July 1, he went to the Miao family camp in Jiangduo District. Ignoring the fatigue of the long march, Xu Keqiang sought out local cadres and the masses overnight to understand the situation and publicize the party's principles, policies, and guidance work until late at night. At dawn on the 2nd, the sentries suddenly found that more than a thousand Japanese puppet troops had come from three directions, and the situation was critical. In the case of the enemy being outnumbered, Xu Keqiang calmly made a decision, took the initiative to ask the county magistrate to lead the team to break through, left himself behind, and led the blockers to fight along the side of the small river ditch and retreat. At this time, Xu vomited blood again, his body was very weak, and in a critical moment, he handed the document package to the correspondent Xiaoma and ordered him to rush out and not let the document fall into the hands of the enemy. Seeing that the correspondent was still hesitating, Xu Keqiang suddenly raised the box gun, aimed it at his head, pulled the trigger, and sacrificed heroically. Later, local cadres and the masses secretly buried Xu Keqiang's body at the Thousand Buddhas Temple in Gugao Township.
After liberation, the local party and government moved the bones of the martyrs to the Taizhou Martyrs Cemetery and built a monument in the original martyrs' cemetery. In 1982, in order to commemorate Xu Keqiang, the "Thousand Buddha Brigade" where the original martyr's tomb was located was renamed "Keqiang Brigade", later changed to "Keqiang Village", and in 2012 it was renamed "Thousand Buddha Village"; in 1978, "Keqiang Middle School" was established, and later renamed "Keqiang Experimental School". In June 1997, in Songnan Park, Songnan Town, Xu Keqiangshi's hometown, a statue of Xu Keqiangshi was erected, which became the district patriotism education base and the on-site teaching point of the district party education.
