In 1939, Feng Kehan and his wife Lu Zhizhen took a group photo in Yan'an.

It was nearly noon, and a meeting of cadres of the Wangjiawan District Cpc Committee in Ansai County (later subdivided into Zichang County) in Shaanxi Was underway. At this time, Mao Zedong arrived at the meeting place and rushed to see the comrades who were holding the meeting, and everyone was very excited.

In October 1935, the Central Red Army arrived in Wuqi Town, northern Shaanxi, and after meeting with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, Feng Kehan, then secretary of the Wangjiawan District Party Committee in Ansai County, in addition to organizing villages to send grain, oil and salt to the Red Army, also mobilized more than 100 young and middle-aged people to sign up for the Red Army. His outstanding work attracted the attention of the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong.

"I haven't had to eat the food yet, so what's the matter?" Feng Kehan, secretary of the district party committee, asked Mao Zedong to speak, and Mao Zedong said humorously, a sentence with a thick Hunan accent, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter from everyone. After having lunch with everyone, Feng Kehan asked Mao Zedong to speak again, and Mao Zedong said humorously: "After eating, what else do you talk about?" ”

Mao Zedong's simple words enabled the cadres present to understand a concise and profound truth: To do revolution is to solve the problem of eating. It was precisely in order to let the comrades attending the meeting and the people of all China have food to eat, Mao Zedong and other central leaders led the Red Army to climb the snowy mountains, cross the meadows, and eat the bark and grass roots all the way to the northern Shaanxi Dry Revolution. Feng Kehan secretly made up his mind: to follow the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong to carry out the revolution all his life, so that everyone in the world can live a good life.

In the winter of 1947, Feng Kehan, who was then the deputy commissioner of the Reliao Special Bureau.

On February 2, 1913, Feng Kehan was born in Fengjiaping Village, Hejiaji, Qingjian County (later changed to Zizhou County) in northern Shaanxi. It is a small remote mountain village, and due to the arid climate, the surrounding mountains are bare and there are no green trees in sight. Dozens of families in the village have been working this barren loess mound for generations, but they cannot change the poverty of lack of food and clothing. Feng Kehan's family of 9 people was crammed into a dark and broken cave. He is the eldest of the boys in the family, with 2 older sisters on the top and 4 younger brothers on the bottom, growing up to be a teenager, and the brothers have never worn shirts and vests.

The embarrassment of family life prompted him to aspire to study. At the age of 9, he was finally able to study at a private school in his village, and in 1926 he was admitted to the No. 4 High School of Heiquangou in Laojundian Town with excellent results. In the same year he entered the school, a group of Communists appeared at the school and established a party branch, from the principal to the teachers, almost all of whom were Communists. Teachers openly disseminate new ideas in the classroom, and he is impressed by Mr. Ma Ruizhang, who teaches historical geography. Teacher Ma said: "There is a Communist Party in China, which is to eliminate harm to the people, oppose people bullying people, and oppose all inequalities and injustices in the world. Feng Kehan was attracted by these new ideas, actively and consciously threw himself into the revolutionary activities led by the party organization, and was repeatedly sent to the countryside by the school to mobilize peasant households to resist taxes and wage struggles against reactionary vigilante groups.

One evening in March 1927, in a secluded place at the school, Mr. Ma Ruizhang asked him to talk solemnly. "In China, there is a group that does things for the people, do you know what kind of organization it is?" Teacher Ma asked a question, and Feng Kehan immediately replied: "It is the Communist Party of China." Because the Communist Party speaks for the poor and supports the poor against the oppression of the gentry, the servants, and the vigilantes. "Do you want to join the Chinese Communist Party?" Teacher Ma asked again, and Feng Kehan replied firmly: "I want to participate!" "Tomorrow morning, before dawn, you will go alone to the Temple of the Three Officials, where someone is waiting for you." Teacher Ma lowered his voice and instructed.

It was still dark, and he came to the deserted empty temple, the cold north wind blew the broken temple door back and forth, and it seemed that something was floating around in the darkness of the temple. He walked in with trepidation, and shadow suddenly saw someone inside, and fixed his eyes on it, and the person who was waiting for him in the temple was Teacher Ma. "To join a party organization, you must comply with two conditions." Teacher Ma said very seriously: "The first one should be absolutely confidential and cannot be told to parents, wives or anyone; the second must obey the party's command, and the blood sacrifice should not retreat." Can you do it? "I will certainly listen to the party and keep the party's secrets." Feng Kehan said firmly. A few days later, at a secret party group meeting in Huasiwan Village, 14-year-old Feng Kehan was accepted as a full member of the Chinese Communist Party.

In the autumn of 1927, after Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 Massacre in Shanghai, according to the instructions of his superiors, Feng Kehan and other student party members participated in the formation of the "student army" in Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, in the name of applying for the Second Middle School of Mizhi County. However, the acceptance letter had just come down, and before the school could be reached, the Shaanxi warlord had ordered the closure of the rice fat second middle school, which was too "red". In accordance with the decision of the party organization, he returned to his hometown to carry out the peasant movement and did a good job in the work of the Shegou party branch. In 1934, Feng Kehan met Liu Zhidan, the founder of the revolutionary base area in northern Shaanxi, for the first time. With the direct help and guidance of Liu Zhidan, he formed a Red Guard and served as chairman of the Shegou Township Soviet Government and secretary of the party branch, and from then on launched a guerrilla war with the Kuomintang reactionaries. At that time, the situation of the struggle was very severe, and some of the members of the team who joined him in the revolution began to waver, connect with each other, and prepare to return to the countryside to farm. After being discovered by Feng Kehan, that day he took a large blade in his hand and blocked them on the way home, angrily saying, "If any of you want to run home, you must first ask this knife to let you go!" Later, those partners who wanted to go home and farm, under his persuasion and persuasion, stayed and continued to work on the revolution. In the autumn of 1935, Feng Kehan was appointed as the head of the organization department of the Wangjiawan District Committee of Ansai County, and soon became the secretary of the district party committee.

On December 28, 1948, Feng Kehan (third from left in the back row), then president of the Liaoxi Provincial Court, and his wife Lu Zhizhen (second from left in the back row) and the guards took a group photo with the landlord's family.

Once, they were holding a district committee meeting in Wangjiawan, and due to the betrayal of the traitors, the Kuomintang sent an artillery battalion to surround the village. The situation was so critical that he immediately decided to evacuate. By the time everyone had climbed over the courtyard wall and he was the last to retreat over it, the enemy had already stormed into the courtyard and stabbed him with a bayonet from his gun. He dodged his bayonet nimbly, climbed over the courtyard wall, and rolled into the river outside the village. At that time, Feng Kehan could not swim, but in order not to fall into the hands of the enemy as a prisoner, he miraculously swam across the river.

In May 1936, Feng Kehan was transferred to Yan'an County as the head of the organization department of the county party committee, and in February 1937, he was sent to the Cpc Shaanxi Province as an inspector. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was selected to study at the Central Party School; after graduating from the Central Party School in October 1938, he successively served as an inspector in the Northwest Bureau and as the deputy chief of the Cadre Section at the Party School of the Northwest Bureau.

In November 1943, when the Eighth Route Army Cadres' School under the Central Military Commission needed a new principal, Li Fuchun, then deputy director of the Central Organization Department, approached the Northwest Bureau and proposed that Feng Kehan be appointed as the principal. The Eighth Route Army Cadres' School was a school specially arranged for the children of martyrs and the children of some cadres who were fighting on the anti-Japanese front, such as Liu Zhidan's daughter Liu Lizhen, Fang Zhimin's son Fang Ying, Xuanxia's father's daughter Xuanping, Xiang Ying's daughter Xiang Suyun, Li Weihan's son Li Tieying, and Ouyang Shan and Cao Ming's daughter Ouyang Dana, all of whom studied at this school at that time. After becoming the principal, he stressed at the school's weekly meeting: "Our school has more than 200 students in the first to fifth grades, although your parents have merit, but you have no privileges, no one can be special, all students must study hard, actively participate in labor, and be an ordinary laborer." ”

At that time, the school's site was in Dengjiagou, about 15 miles from Yan'an, and teachers and students lived in cave dwellings, and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday after school hours, he personally took a broom to the cave where the students lived and cleaned with his classmates. In the spring and autumn, he also often led his classmates to work in the vegetable garden about five or six miles away from the school, letting them personally plough the ground, sow seeds, water the ground, hoe the grass and harvest; divide the work for each class, responsible for cutting grass and making feed to raise pigs and sheep; teach them to push and grind, grind soy milk and make tofu with the beans they planted; organize female students to spin thread, knit sweaters, and learn to make shoes. On the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, the Central Military Commission decided to transfer Wang Zhen's 359th Brigade to the front line, and it was the harvest season, and the central authorities called on all organs, organizations, and schools in Yan'an to help with the harvest in Nanniwan, and Feng Kehan also led all the teachers and students of the school to participate in the autumn harvest.

At the beginning of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Central Organization Department decided to transfer Feng Kehan to work in the Rehe Provincial Party Committee. On September 6, 1945, he set out from Yan'an, trekked all the way, arrived in Chengde in early December, and was initially assigned to the Rebei Prefectural Committee by the Rehe Provincial Party Committee; in March 1946, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Linxi County; in June 1947, he was transferred to Reliao as a deputy commissioner; at the end of 1948, after the liberation of Jinzhou, he was appointed president of the Liaoxi Provincial Court; in June 1949, he was transferred to Anshan City and served as the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

In February 1950, the Party Committee of the Angang Ministry of Transport was established, and Feng Kehan was appointed as the first Party Secretary. On the "March 8th" International Women's Day of that year, a message came from the Dalian locomotive maintenance section, and with the help of Soviet experts, the first train composed of women from the driver to the driver to the furnace and the husband left the Dalian Railway Station. As a result, the first "38" locomotive group in New China was born, and Tian Guiying, the first female train driver in New China, was born. When the news came, it aroused Feng Kehan's great interest and great concern, and he began to rely on his own strength and efforts, personally organized and selected a group of young female workers, let them board the electric locomotive and steam locomotive for the first time, trained the first generation of female drivers of Angang Steel represented by Che Guizhen and others, and called out the "No. 38" charter group of Angang Steel in the province and the whole country.

In May 1951, Feng Kehan was transferred from Angang Steel and returned to the city, successively serving as the director of the Urban Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the minister of finance, trade and industry. In March 1979, after 10 years of the Cultural Revolution, Feng Kehan resumed his work and was transferred to the full-time standing committee of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.

On August 8, 1961, Feng Kehan, Lu Zhizhen, his wife and their children took a group photo in Anshan.

"To live is to work for the party and to follow the party all your life." From the day he joined the revolution, he unswervingly practiced his lifelong conviction and always maintained the fine traditions and work style of communists who struggle hard, settle for poverty, be honest in performing official duties, and have a clean wind in their sleeves. His youngest daughter returned to the countryside and became a middle school teacher, but at first she was uneasy and wanted to join the army as a female soldier. With his qualifications and his relationship, he can completely make his daughter satisfied, and he did not agree, educating his daughter: "It is most appropriate for a girl to be a teacher, and when a teacher has been learning all her life, she has been constantly improving herself in the process of educating others all her life." Later, he also went to the class himself, listened to his daughter's lecture, and after listening to it, he said with confidence: "You are a good teacher." In the early 1990s, the main leaders of the Anshan municipal government visited Feng Kehan at home, only to see that in the room where he lived, there was an old wooden bed, an old wardrobe and a three-person sofa with a long-damaged artificial leather cover, next to a washing machine, a sewing machine and a wheelchair car bought for his wife who suffered from cerebral thrombosis. ”
