"Hardship can destroy people's flesh, and death can take people's lives, but no force can shake the ideals and beliefs of Chinese Communists." Looking back at the century-old course of our party, countless heroic models have emerged that have touched the earth and the earth, and generation after generation of strivers have stubbornly struggled and struggled unremittingly, and they have written a magnificent chapter of song and tears for the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people with wisdom and sweat, and even blood and life. Since May 6, China Civilization Network has launched a series of reports on "Striving for a Hundred Years, Setting Sail for a New Journey, Counting Popular Figures", to feel the noble character of heroic models and draw spiritual strength.
Count the merry figures
Dan Xin Yongzhao "Later Generations"
Xia Minghan
Located in The former residence of Xia Minghan in Minghan Village, Hongshi Town, Hengyang County, Hunan Province, the former residence of Xia Minghan is endlessly visited, and some even held a "micro-party lesson" on the front of the former residence. Today, it has become a popular local party history study and red tourist destination.
Yang Hua'e, a villager in Zhajiang Town, Hengyang County, with her 5-year-old daughter, has come to Xia Minghan's former residence for the third time. She said: "Seeing the suffering they have suffered and looking at the blessings we have enjoyed, we feel even more that we must vigorously carry forward the spirit of the revolutionary martyrs and let more people know that a happy life is not easy to come by." ”
Staunch Marxist and outstanding communist fighter Xia Minghan (1900-1928), also spelled Guigen, was born in Zigui, Hubei Province, where his father lived in the government, and returned to his hometown of Hengyang with his family at the age of 12. The young Xia Minghan was close to the toiling masses and showed strong dissatisfaction with the foreign powers. Once, when he and his mother were passing through Hankou, they saw the ships flying foreign flags on the mighty Yangtze River rampage, and their hearts were extremely indignant, and they immediately wrote a poem that "the shame and hatred of the country are hard to dispel."
In the spring of 1917, xia Minghan went against his grandfather's wishes and dreamed of "industrial salvation" and was admitted to the Third Grade A Industrial School in Hunan Province. In 1919, when the May Fourth Movement broke out, he and his classmates went out of school and launched a series of patriotic campaigns such as boycotting Japanese goods.
In 1920, Xia Minghan met Mao Zedong in Changsha. In 1921, through the introduction of Mao Zedong and He Shuheng, Xia Minghan joined the Communist Party of China. After joining the party, Xia Minghan engaged in the workers' movement in Changsha, participated in leading the strike struggle of rickshaw workers, and on behalf of the rickshaw pullers, solemnly stated to the authorities the position of "we oppose rent increases, we want to live", and led the labor movement to victory.
In 1924, Xia Minghan became a member of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, responsible for the work of the Agricultural Committee. In February 1926, he went to Wuhan to serve as secretary general of the All-China Peasants' Association and secretary of the Mao Zedong and the Central Peasant Movement Training Institute. In June 1927, Xia Minghan returned to Hunan as a member of the provincial party committee and head of the organization department. In July of the same year, after the defeat of the Great Revolution, he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising. In October, Hunan Province appointed him concurrently as the secretary of the Pingjiang Liu (Yang) Special Committee, leading the Pingjiang peasant rebellion.
In January 1928, the party organization decided to transfer Xia Minghan to the Hubei Provincial Party Committee to take up leadership work. On March 18, 1928, Xia Minghan was arrested for betrayal by traitors. In the early morning of March 20, he was escorted to the execution ground. Before the execution, the enemy asked Xia Minghan what else he had to say, and he shouted, "Yes, bring me a pen and paper!" At the last moment of his life, the 28-year-old Xia Minghan wrote the magnificent poem of righteousness: "It doesn't matter if you cut off your head, as long as the doctrine is true." Kill Xia Minghan, and the people who came after him! ”
On March 22, after Xia Minghan's death, his younger brother Xia Mingzhen died heroically in the Shonan Rebellion. In June of the same year, her younger sister Xia Mingheng was martyred in the face of the enemy's capture. His younger brother Xia Mingpi and nephew Wu Yizhuang also sacrificed their young lives for the revolution.
After the founding of New China, Xia Minghan's wife, Zheng Jiajun, made a special trip to Wuhan to hang himself, and composed a poem of the Seven Laws with great affection, which read: "White bones push the waves and roll huge waves, and Dan Xin will always shine on future generations." Happy to see this dynasty, the heroic soul looked at the morning light with a smile. ”
In recent years, Hengyang County has held a series of mass commemorative activities with the theme of "promoting the truth of doctrine and being a good posterity". Not far from Xia Minghan's former residence, the newly built "Xia Minghan Party Sex Education Base" is solemn and atmospheric, which has theme exhibitions such as "Faith is Light" and "Faith is Iron". In the hall, a group of statues of revolutionary ancestors with red sandstone sculptures "came" head-on, and on them were six large relief characters - "Iron Faith".
Tang Zhichun, director of the Party History Research Office of the Hengyang County CPC Committee, said: Xia Minghan composed a song of praise for faith with his life and is an eternal example for Communist Party members. Learning from Xia Minghan is precisely to not forget the original intention and create a better future.
The purest and noblest love
Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun
What kind of love is the purest and noblest love in the world?
In Chancheng District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, in the Tiejun Park, the white jade statue of Chen Tiejun stands tall, she holds the scroll in her right hand, the fist in her left hand, and the fearless heroism in her resolute eyes. Under the statue, a group of young people are raising their fists to take an oath.
Not far from here, at the entrance of Foshan Tiejun Primary School, there is also a bust of Chen Tiejun, whose eyes are shining with energy. "When new students enter school, the first lesson is to learn the deeds of chen tiejun martyrs." Zhang Liqin, principal of Tiejun Primary School, said that guiding students to inherit the red gene with the spirit of Tiejun as the core and buttoning the first button of life has been integrated into the school's school philosophy.
Chen Tiejun, formerly known as Chen Xiejun, was born in Foshan in 1904 to a wealthy family of returned overseas Chinese. In 1920, Chen Tiejun entered the Jihua Second Class Girls' School (now Foshan Tiejun Primary School) and gradually received an enlightened education of new culture and new ideas.
In 1924, Chen Tiejun was admitted to the preparatory department of the College of Letters of Guangdong University (now Sun Yat-sen University) and actively participated in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal National Revolutionary Movement. After the outbreak of the "May Thirtieth Massacre" in Shanghai in 1925, Chen Tiejun participated in the Anti-Imperialist Patriotic Parade in Guangzhou. In the face of all the fallacies of the Right Wing of the Kuomintang and the ferocious features of imperialism, she strengthened her belief in communism and changed her name from Chen Xiejun to Chen Tiejun, expressing her determination to break with the old self and carry the revolution through to the end.
In 1926, Chen Tiejun joined the Communist Party of China and successively served as a member and secretary general of the executive committee of the Guangdong Women's Liberation Association, and the director of the provincial and Hong Kong striking working women's school. She took off her student clothes, changed into cardigans and wide-legged pants, went deep into the grassroots to carry out revolutionary work, and went to the "civilian night school" to teach her co-workers.
On April 15, 1927, the Kuomintang reactionaries launched the April 15 counter-revolutionary coup in Guangzhou, and Chen Tiejun disregarded his personal safety and disguised himself as a noblewoman to infiltrate Guangzhou Rouji Hospital, and promptly informed Deng Yingchao, secretary of the Women's Committee of the Guangdong District Committee of the CPC, who was hospitalized, of the counter-revolutionary coup d'état, so that he could evacuate safely.
After the April 15 counter-revolutionary coup, Chen Tiejun was expelled from school and came to Hong Kong. In August of the same year, Chen Tiejun accepted the organizational arrangement, pretended to be a husband and wife, and returned to Guangzhou to resume party work and prepare for the Guangzhou uprising.
Zhou Wenyong was born in Kaiping, Guangdong in 1905 and joined the Communist Party of China in 1925. He once served as a member of the Working Committee of the CPC Guangdong District Committee, the chief of the Guangzhou Workers' Picket Team, the director of the Organization Department of the CPC Guangzhou Municipal Committee and the secretary of the Working Committee of the Municipal Cpc Committee.
Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun rented a room in Guangzhou, established a secret party organ, and carried out revolutionary work. On November 1, 1927, Zhou Wenyong led thousands of workers to surround Wang Jingwei's mansion and demand the release of the arrested workers. During the petition demonstration, Zhou Wenyong was arrested and imprisoned. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee immediately set up a rescue team, chen Tiejun directly participated in the planning and rescue operation, and successfully rescued Zhou Wenyong from prison. In the common revolutionary work and rescue operation, the relationship between the two deepened day by day.
In the early morning of December 11, 1927, the Guangzhou Uprising broke out, and on the morning of the same day, the "Guangzhou Soviet Government" was proclaimed, and Zhou Wenyong was elected as the People's Labor Commissar and Minister of Education of the Guangzhou Soviet Government. However, due to the rapid counterattack of the reactionary forces and the disparity between the enemy and our forces, the Guangzhou Uprising eventually failed, and Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun withdrew to Hong Kong.
At the beginning of 1928, Zhou Wenyong was elected as a standing committee member of the Cpc Guangdong Provincial Committee and a standing committee member of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee, and once again returned to Guangzhou with Chen Tiejun disguised as a husband and wife according to the organizational arrangements to rebuild the party organs. Because of the betrayal of traitors, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun were arrested by the enemy at the same time.
In prison, the enemy used torture such as "crane planes" and "tiger stools", but Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun remained unyielding and did not reveal any secrets of the party organization. In his cell, Zhou Wenyong wrote a magnificent poem on the wall: "The head can be broken, the limbs can be broken, and the revolutionary spirit cannot be destroyed." The head of the strong man is the party fall, and the body of the good man is a group of cracks. ”
Before being escorted to the execution ground, Zhou Wenyong made a request: take a group photo with Chen Tiejun. In the photo, the two men stand in front of the prison door, looking at each other with a relaxed look, as if they were dead.
On the afternoon of February 6, 1928, the two were escorted to the Honghuagang Execution Ground in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou. Along the way, the two chanted "Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries" and "Long live the Communist Party of China."
Before the execution, they decided to publicize their deeply buried love and solemnly announced their marriage. On the execution ground, the two stood side by side, heroic and righteous. The execution ground became an auditorium, and the gunshots of the reactionaries became a salute for their marriage.
In Chancheng District, Foshan City, Chen Tiejun's hometown, in recent years, we have vigorously carried forward the "spirit of the iron army" in the new era, and carried out the practical activities of "learning from the iron army, doing the iron army, and building the iron army -- I do practical things for the masses" in connection with the study and education of party history. "Promote the party members and cadres in the whole region to consciously integrate the spirit of the iron army into their blood and combine it with the work of the masses, and constantly draw strength from it to advance." Huang Shaowen, secretary of the Chancheng District PARTY Committee, said.
