—— A Brief History of pingshan in the COMMUNIST Party
After the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, along with the rapid development of the revolutionary situation throughout the country, the CPC Central Leadership Center in Yan'an, in order to seize the opportunity to create a large strategic base area from north China to northeast China, formed a strategic decision, that is, the principle of "developing to the north and defending to the south." On the evening of September 19, 1945, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting to redeploy troops in accordance with the new policy, dispatch troops, and decide to dispatch 110,000 troops and 20,000 cadres to the northeast and Jireliao, thus also kicking off the prelude to the north, the south of the Jin-Cha-Ji cadres.
Pingshan and Jianping County (west) were the first batch of cadres who were dispatched to the north to open up new areas, of which more than 100 were drawn for the first time, including Song Wen, Zhang Xiang, Zhang Jinchun, Zheng Hao, Gao Zhiyuan, Sun Xuewen, Niu Dejun, Liu Wanchun, and Zhang Guangsheng. Immediately after that, according to the instructions of the superiors, the county party committee carried out a second draw, adding more than 30 people, including Liu Lihua, Duan Xiuqing, Zheng Ruiping, Qi Zhanwen, Tian Yongfeng, Zheng Qimao, fan Yougong, and so on. At the same time, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region transferred four regiments of troops from the Fourth Military Subdistrict to the north and formed the Tenth Brigade of the Military Region, with Ma Long, commander of the Fourth Sub-District, as the brigade commander. According to Zhang Guangsheng's later recollection, in September 1945, he served as a security officer in the East Huangni District, and was ordered to urgently assemble in the Fourth Military Subdistrict of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and together with a large number of cadres drawn from Pingshan, four regiments led by Brigadier Ma Long advanced to the northeast with the large army to expand the liberated area. When they reached the vicinity of Xuanhua, the situation changed, Fu Zuoyi's troops arrived at Chaigou Fort to seize Zhangjiakou, and their superiors ordered the entire brigade of Ma Long's army to block Fu Zuoyi's Nationalist army in the direction of Chaigou Fort. Local cadres entered Zhangjiakou. Soon after the enemy collapsed, local cadres were assigned by the Chahar Provincial Party Committee. Some of these cadres who went north continued to advance with the army into the three northeastern provinces, such as Liu Lihua went to Heilongjiang and later became the director of the Provincial Planning Commission; Yang Jianzhong went to Jilin Province, and later he served as deputy director of the Provincial Bureau of Standards and Metrology; and Li Congpu was appointed secretary general of the Standing Committee of the Changchun Municipal People's Congress; Zhang Muting waited until he arrived in Liaoning Province, and then he served as deputy director of the Provincial Building Materials Bureau, Wang Zunzhi as deputy director of the Provincial Construction Commission, Li Ping as deputy director of the Provincial Archives Bureau, Duan Xiuzhi as secretary general of the Standing Committee of the Shenyang Municipal People's Congress, and Duan Xiuqing as deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Dandong Municipal People's Congress. Zheng Ruiping served as vice minister of finance and trade of Chaoyang City, Tian Yongfeng served as deputy director of the Standing Committee of Jinzhou Municipal People's Congress, and Qi Zhanwen served as deputy secretary of the party committee of the aluminum alloy factory, making his own contributions to the development and construction of the three northeastern provinces. The other part was left by the Chahar Provincial Party Committee to assign work, such as Niu Dejun and Sun Xuewen, who later served as the secretary of the party committee of Xuanhua Construction Machinery Factory, and Sun Xuewen first worked in the department of cleaning up enemy and fake materials, and then transferred to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions as deputy director of the general office. Song Wen, Gao Zhiyuan, and others were sent to Yanbei, where Song Wen, Zhang Xiang, Zhang Jinchun, and others were killed by kuomintang reactionary forces, and Gao Zhiyuan went south to Chengdu with the army in April 1949 and served as the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Nationalities Committee. In March 1946, Ganshan and Jianping County (West) dispatched the second batch of cadres to the north, including Li Fanglin, Guo Zhenwen, An Qingchuan and others. Later, Li Fanglin was sent to Wei County as the secretary of the county party committee; Guo Zhenwen and others were sent to Inner Mongolia; An Qingchuan was appointed as the chief of the Zhangjiakou Anti-Smoking Bureau, and later transferred to Beijing. In 1946, only Jianping (West) exported 128 cadres. According to statistics in 1987 40 years later, there are still 386 people living in hohhot city in Inner Mongolia, Datong in Shanxi, Taiyuan in Shanxi, and Zhangjiakou in Hebei, including 28 in Hohhot, 10 in Datong, 283 in Taiyuan, and 65 in Zhangjiakou.
On December 26, 1947, the Central Working Committee sent a telegram to the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau and the Jinsui Branch Bureau and reported to the CPC Central Committee: "At present, the situation in central China is in full swing, and a large number of cadres are urgently needed to work in the south, and it has been decided to transfer 2,000 people from Jin-Cha-Ji and 800 people from Jinsui to the south, and the district party committee, prefectural committee, county party committee, sub-district committee, outstanding township-level cadres, party, government, military, and civilian financial and economic cadres are all required." Pingshan and Jianping (west) began to dispatch a large number of cadres to accompany the army south, and the first batch of cadres going south were Du Xiwen, Gu Hai'an, Kang Guoyun, Zhang Xiangfu, Mao Xingeng, Bai Yunqi, and dozens of other cadres. Jia Yiping was transferred from the Pingshan County Self-Defense Force Headquarters Headquarters to the instructor of the Xingtang County Headquarters in the spring of 1940, and later he successively served as the director of the Armed Forces Department of Pingxi Fanglai zhuo county, the cha nanwei county armed forces, the director of the Xuanhua City Armed Forces Committee, the chief of the political section and the chief of the operations section of the armed forces department of the Chahar Military Region, and also the mobilization director of the former headquarters of the military region branch. In the work of the first batch of cadres in Jinchaji and Chaji going south with the army, he was responsible for the organization and command of the front station of the entire cadres going south. He recalled the situation of the first batch of cadres going south: In early 1948, a large number of cadres who had been transferred from Jincha reward were concentrated in Pingshan, and then went south through Shijiazhuang, from Handan through Changzhi, and Jincheng through Daxing Mountain, across Huang ci, into the western Henan region. Before organizing and mobilizing the masses, he also cooperated with the main force to liberate Zhengzhou, an important town in Henan, to form the Zhengzhou Municipal Government and the working bodies of various district governments, and immediately carry out work to restore social order and stabilize the market. In order to prepare for the Huaihai Campaign, he also organized the mobilization of forces to repair the highway, carry out the support front, and ensure the supply of the front line. After Yu, Anhui, and Su were joined together, they immediately rushed to repair the highway and supported Siye to go south. In May 1949, after the liberation of Wuhan, a group of cadres entered Wuhan with the army to establish the Military Control Commission, and organized forces to repair highways and Yangtze River ferries, promptly ensuring that Siye marched to Hunan and Jiangxi in three ways, and Erye marched to the southwest. Among the cadres from Pingshan and Jianping (West), Du Xiwen successively served as deputy secretaries of the Yilu and Song county party committees in Henan; Kang Guoyun successively served as secretaries of the Luohe, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, and Zhumadian municipal party committees and prefectural party committees; Bai Yunqi and others entered Guangzhou with the army, and later served as deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department.
In October 1948, Chairman Mao Zedong proposed: "Thirty thousand to forty thousand subordinate, middle, and senior cadres must be prepared, and these cadres must be able to advance with the army within the fourth year, and they must be able to advance with the army and be able to manage the newly opened liberated areas of about 50 to 100 million people in an orderly manner." In February 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the Instructions on Dispatching Cadres Preparing to Cross the River with the Army. On February 10, 116 cadres (48 in Pingshan and 68 in Jianping) left their hometowns and went to Zhengding to participate in training. On March 12, 648 people from the four detachments of Beiyue South, led by Zhang Bin and Qi Weili, set off from Zhengding and headed south via Jin County, Shulu, and Hengshui. On April 25, the southward detachment entered the Guichi area of southern Anhui Province, and formed a prefectural committee, an administrative office, and a military sub-district. Pingshan southbound cadres went to Taihe County to form county party committees and county governments, and Jianping southbound cadres were assigned to Guichi regional organs and counties. According to 1987 statistics, there were still 63 pingshan cadres who had gone south to Anhui, distributed in 12 urban districts and counties in the province, including Shi Junjie, chairman of the provincial CPPCC committee, Liu Lianmin, deputy director of the provincial Advisory Committee, Tian Lanyu, director of the provincial personnel bureau, and Kang Zhaoyu, secretary of the Anqing municipal party committee. In April 1949, the third batch of cadres from Pingshan and Jianping (West) who were drawn to the south also set off in full gear, including more than 70 Pingshan cadres, including Zhang Shilin, Wang Yu, Qi Zhiting, Zhang Yan, and so on. The third group of cadres who went south followed Siye Xiao Jinguang and Huang Kecheng to the south. After the liberation of Hunan, Zhang Shilin, Li Yuping, Li Huizhen, and others stayed in Hunan to work; Wang Yu successively served in Changsha City as an instructor of the prefectural party committee construction cultural and labor troupe, as director of the organization department of the prefectural work committee of the Communist Youth League, and later transferred to the Ministry of Education; Qi Zhiting and others entered Jiangxi, after which he served as director of the building materials bureau of the province; Zhang Yan, Xu Yingda, and others entered the Meixian area of Guangdong, and zhang Yan successively served as secretary of the Meixian and Fengshun county party committees; and Xu Yingda served as the chief procurator of Meixian County for many years. In addition, because Pingshan County is an old revolutionary area, a large number of cadres were exported as early as the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Some of them later participated in the north and south in other places, such as: in June 1939, Qi Weili, who was transferred to the county magistrate of Jinghe United County and later served as the deputy commissioner of the Bureau, and in March 1949, he went south to Chizhou in southern Anhui province as a commissioner. Zhao Fenpu, former commander of the Pingshan County Headquarters Department, and later deputy director of the Armed Forces Department of the Jijin Military Region, director of the Armed Forces Department of the Third Military Subdistrict, and minister of the Armed Forces of Chahar Province, went south to Hunan with the army in 1949 and successively served as deputy commander of the former headquarters of the Hunan Branch, deputy director of the Provincial Transportation Department and director of the Material Bureau, director of the Provincial Cooperative Undertaking Management Bureau, director of the Provincial Grain Department, and deputy director of the State Five Machinery Department. In 1939, he was transferred to the beiyue district party committee organization department, and then successively served as the propaganda director of the Fuping County PARTY Committee, the director of the organization department of the Laishui County CPC Committee, the secretary of the Laishui County CPC Committee, and the propaganda director of the Pingxi Prefectural Committee. In June 1951, Jiao Linyi transferred to the work of eastern Guangdong, and successively served as deputy director and minister of the organization department of the party committee of eastern Guangdong District, first deputy secretary and secretary, vice mayor of Guangzhou, executive secretary and first secretary of the municipal party committee, secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the first secretary of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee, director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee, secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, deputy director of the Provincial Advisory Committee, and deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Advisory Committee. He is an alternate member of the Ninth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, a member of the 10th, 11th and 12th Central Committees, and a deputy to the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th National People's Congress.
While dispatching a large number of cadres from the north to the south, Pingshan and Jianping (west) have also repeatedly dispatched cadres to work in Jijin District, southeastern Jin, shijiazhuang, Tianjin, Beijing, and other large and medium-sized cities. In order to be ready to export cadres to the outside world at any time, the county party committee has made a decision to allocate, train, select, and transfer cadres, and has equipped the second and third sets of leading bodies in counties and districts, and set up the first deputy posts and the second deputy posts. The Central Working Committee and the North China Bureau also opened a party school in Donggang Shangcun to train cadres, Bo Yibo concurrently served as the principal, and Xu Teli and his cultural and educational work group personally taught. The conditions for recruiting cadets are party members and cadres who have graduated from junior high school or above, and every one month after graduation, they will go south with the army to open a new district. On November 8, 1948, the Central Marxist-Leninist College opened in Lijiakou, and Liu Shaoqi concurrently served as the principal. According to incomplete statistics, in the course of the liberation war cadres going north, south, the county party committee directly transferred 968 cadres from the county and district incumbents, of whom more than 180 were more than 180 people who served as directors of various ministries, commissions, departments, and bureaus of the state after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
When marching north and south, the cadres mainly relied on walking, they ate and slept in the wind, traveled at night, and traveled day and night, experiencing all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and suffered from extreme heat, rain, hunger and mosquito bites. After arriving in the new district, he overcame the concept of hometown and regional concept, and worked tirelessly and night in the new district with a very difficult environment. In order to open up and build new areas, some have charged into the front for the revolution, some have accumulated hardships for the revolution, and some have buried their loyal bones in other places.
