Sun Jinchuan, born in 1895 in Shou County, Anhui, also known as Fang Gan, once used the names Sun Jingchuan and Sun Jisheng. At the age of 11, he entered the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau in Nanjing (the predecessor of Changan Automobile) as a child laborer. After completing the division, he came to Shanghai to work in the Great China Spinning Factory (now the Eighth National Cotton Factory) and the Xingfa Machinery Factory. Later, he was fired from Xingfa Machinery Factory for fighting for an injured worker. In the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), he entered the Shanghai Railway Wusong Machine Factory as a fitter.
In the autumn of 1924, Sun Jinchuan met Peng Ganchen, a member of the Chinese Communist Party, in Shanghai and embarked on the revolutionary road under his influence. In August 1925, Sun Jinchuan joined the Communist Party of China through the introduction of Peng Ganchen and was elected as a member of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Workers' Association. Soon, the special branch of the Wusong Machine Factory of the CPC was established, and Sun Jinchuan was elected as the secretary of the special branch.
In order to cooperate with the Northern Expeditionary Army's attack on Shanghai, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to hold an armed workers' uprising in Shanghai. In October 1926, in accordance with the requirements of the party, Sun Jinchuan led the workers of Wusong Machine Factory to cut off the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, destroyed the logistics and military supply lines of the Beiyang warlords, created conditions for the first armed uprising of The Shanghai workers, and cooperated with the Northern Expeditionary Army. In March 1927, Sun Jinchuan led the workers of Wusong Machine Factory to hold a general strike, which opened the prelude to the third armed uprising of Shanghai workers. On March 28, Sun Jinchuan was elected chairman of the Shanghai-Nanjing and Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Federation of Trade Unions.
After the counter-revolutionary coup d'état, Sun Jinchuan traveled back and forth to Wuhan, Jiujiang, Shanghai, and other places to receive and resettle exiled comrades from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Gansu provinces on behalf of the All-China Railway Federation of Trade Unions, and secretly rectify and restore railway trade unions and party organizations in various localities. At the end of April and the beginning of May 1927, Sun Jinchuan attended the Fifth National Congress of the Party held in Hankou.
After the 1987 Session, Sun Jinchuan was sent to Nanjing to serve as secretary of the Nanjing Municipal CPC Committee. In the midst of the extremely serious White Terror, he immediately set about rectifying the Party organization, conveying the spirit of the Eighty-Seven Conference, mobilizing and organizing the masses, persisting in the underground struggle, and preparing for armed insurrection. In June 1928, the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Moscow, and Sun Jinchuan (who did not attend) was elected as a member of the Central Review Committee of the Communist Party of China.
One night in June 1928, the Nanjing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to hold a meeting at the home of Yao Zuotang, an underground party member on Dagong Street, and he was arrested by agents as soon as he walked to the door of Yao's house. In prison, Kuomintang military and police agents tried to use high-ranking officials Houlu and torture to force Sun Jinchuan to hand over party secrets and the list of underground parties in Nanjing, but they were resolutely refused. Beaten to death, Sun Jinchuan firmly said to the enemy: "If you want to kill, kill." Shoot me one, and ten more; shoot me ten, and a hundred. Thousands of revolutionaries, you can't kill them all! On October 5, 1928, Sun Jinchuan was taken to the execution ground. At the entrance of the prison was a table with wine and meat on it. Sun Jinchuan kicked over the table and yelled "Who drinks your bloody wine" Before his execution, he shouted "Long live the Communist Party!" "The blood of the martyr was sprinkled on the rain flower platform, and his heroic deeds were forever shining.
