The achievements of the ancestors are in history, and the heroic style inspires future generations.
In the former garden of Tongming Village (formerly Nancun) in Fenghui Town, part of the former residence of the revolutionary martyr Chen Shugu, known as the "iron army wind bone", is still there. This is a valuable resource to dig deep, promote and pass on red education.
Former residence of Chen Shugu
One day in July 2018, I found a copy of the "Biography of Chen Shugu" in The Taihe of Qian's mansion in the home of Qian Guanglin, an old man of the Qian family. Why did a 79-year-old tongming qian family old man have a special love for this book?
Originally, the book recorded the name of the old man's father, Qian Zhengang, on page 72 of the article "The Model of Youth and the Pioneer of Anti-Japanese Resistance". In order to return to Suzhong and continue to fight, Chen Shugu was jointly funded by Qian Zhengang and Wan Zheng to solve the urgent need.

The following excerpt is by Wan Zheng
Originally published in Hell by Heaven
Zhejiang People's Publishing House was published in September 1991
One day, Comrade Yang Guang, secretary of the Shangyu County CPC Committee, came to the contact point of the party branch of the Shangyu Youth Service Corps and talked to me. He told me that Chen Shugu had returned, but he didn't know how he performed in the Shangrao concentration camp or how he ran out. He asked me to inquire about it and understand what Chen Shugu planned to do next, what was the difficulty? He also demanded that I not reveal my current membership in the Communist Party under any circumstances. I was introduced to the Party by Comrade Shugu, so how can I hide it in front of him? But I still resolutely followed the instructions of my superiors.
I was ordered to meet Comrade Shugu, and the two of them were overjoyed to see each other. After some greetings, I followed the instructions of the Party, asked him one by one, and then asked him where he was going. Shugu said that he would go to the Liberated Area of Northern Jiangsu. I asked him again what was the difficulty? He said: "There is no Panchuan fee. "I returned to the contact point and reported truthfully to Comrade Yang Guang. Yang Guang said: "We don't have any money, so you have to find a way." "So, I found Comrade Qian Zhengang, an underground party member, and he immediately took out 30 yuan from the union dues. I sold the grain in the seller, and I collected another 20 yuan, a total of 50 yuan, and gave it to Shugu. Three days later, Shugu told his old mother: "The eldest brother in Shanghai, Ruyu, has found me a job and wants me to go to Shanghai immediately. The mother believed it, sewed clothes for him overnight, and the next day sent her beloved son out of the door. Shugu left the gate and took three or four steps, looked back to see his mother in tears, and then turned and walked back to his mother and said, "Don't worry about it after I leave, after I arrive in Shanghai, I will write to you immediately, and when I defeat the Japanese devils and the world is at peace, I will take you to Live in Shanghai." The mother believed her son's words, and nodded her head in tears. Who knew that Shugu broke up with his old mother and became a forever trick!
Qian Zhenggang, an underground party member told by Wan Zheng, is Qian Zhengang, the father of the old man of Guanglin ("Gang" is homophonous with "Gang", which is now followed by the name recorded in the family tree). In the past two years, with the advancement of the family genealogy work, I have often exchanged contacts with Qian Zhengang's ancestors' family members, and the image of this little-known dongxiang underground party member has gradually become clear.

Qian Zhengang, Zi Xin Tian, And Mian Zhai. Born in 1907 in the Fenghui Qian clan mansion Chao Xi Wu, the 34th grandson of the Wu yue Qian clan, a descendant of the Tongming Qian clan, originally with the Lianghu Zhou clan.
In the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), "Shangyu Tongming Qian Clan Genealogy" Qian Zhengang Shilu
Qian Zhengang's father, Qian Tingpan, was a martial artist, and his mother, Liu Shi, was a native of fenghui Liu's family. Qian Zhengang has been diligent since childhood and has practiced a good hand since childhood. During his school age, due to the economic influence of his family, he was forced to drop out of school after completing the fourth grade of the private school founded by Qian Yixiu and others. At the age of 14, Qian Zhengang went to shanghai as an apprentice in a printing factory. After the apprentice, the boss saw that he was well-spoken and diligent, so he let him run the street (salesman). Qian Zhengang made a living in Shanghai for more than 15 years until the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Qian Zhengang's eldest nephew, Fang Chenggen, was a hui merchant who ran a lacquer shop in Shanghai before and after liberation, specializing in the purchase of raw material juice extracted from lacquer trees for lacquer and pigment making. Qian Zhengang wrote the signboard "Heyuan Lacquer Shop" for the store with ink pen atmosphere. Later, the people of the calligraphy club came to Qian Zhengang to hire him to their place, and Qian Zhengang was very low-key and humble, and politely refused the other party.
Qian Zhengang's only ink photo was provided by Qian Min, the daughter of Qian Guangwu, the third son of Qian Zhengang in Shanghai
Speaking of Qian Zhengang's calligraphy, it is also necessary to tell a past story related to Qian Junren, a celebrity in the Shangyu world, who "sunburned late rice".
In 1944, Qian Junren, the old master of late rice, died of illness in Taiheli. Qian Junren's funeral was placed on the south-facing TianBa of the Yuemiao Bridge for a short time, and when the funeral came out, a series of Taoist monks and paper people and paper people and horses hugged each other, and the funeral procession set off from Qian Jun's home, passed through Qian Chunji and Beicun, and then circled back to Taiheli from Tongming Ancient Weir. Qian Zhengang and another Haining County magistrate each wrote and read a sacrifice text. The county magistrate appreciated Qian Zhengang's pen and ink, asked to write a couplet and return zhang Daqian's painting of "Songhe Yannian" to Qian Zhengang. Qian Zhengang was embarrassed to get this famous painting, so he sent the county magistrate three buckets of rice money to show his gratitude.
In order to verify the authenticity of Zhang Daqian's painting, Qian Zhengang went to find Qian Zuosan, a mr. Chaofeng of Chaoxiwu. As a result, Mr. Qian Zuosan identified that the "Songhe Yannian" donated by the county magistrate of Haining County was indeed Zhang Daqian's original handwriting. Later, during the national "Four Qing" movement, Zhou Ping, vice minister of the Central Ministry of Culture and leader of the Nancun "Four Qing" Task Force, and Feng Jiaguang, the leader of the "Four Qing" Task Force in Nancun, confiscated four ancient paintings from his village, one of which was Zhang Daqian's "Songhe Yannian". On July 20, 2012, Zhejiang Daily published four famous paintings stored in Hangzhou's Xi'an Printing House and originating from Nancun.
On July 29, 2018, Qian Guanglu, the eldest son of Qian Zhengang, went to Fengming Mountain to look for his father's original calligraphy
Most of Qian Zhengang's life experience is in the era of war in which the wind and rain are fluctuating and the undercurrents are surging.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Qian Zhengang took his family home to live in the field house of Wubentang. Because he was from a working class background, Qian Zhengang had a profound understanding of the Communist Party at that time. In 1939, the higher-level party organization asked him to establish the first trade union organization in Shangyu County, and served as the chairman of the Shangyu County Chengguan District Porter Trade Union. In the same year, Qian Zhengang joined the Communist Party of China for half a year, and in the first half of 1940, he was approved as a full party member. After 1940, Qian Zhengang used the name of Qian Xintian to serve as the director of the Shangyu County Intelligence Bureau of the CPC. After 1942, he served as the chairman of the Mengyu Township Farmers' Association in Shangyu County. During his tenure as chairman of the trade union, he actively developed the party organization and befriended 10 brothers, including Xu Xian, Xu Zhixian, Xu Zhenxian, Xu Qingyao, Shi Bingyan, Wu Xiaqi, Shi Da, Wu Xinde and others, until liberation.
In September 1945, before the New Fourth Army withdrew to the north, Shi Da was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese. Qian Zhengang actively tried to rescue him, and later, with the help of the township mayor Qian Zhaoxi, paid for the bail release of Shi Da.
At the southeast of the Qian's large mansion hondo tianya, there was originally a large taimen and a second taimen, and the surrounding wall was four meters high. Qian Zhengang and his neighbor Qian Bainian had few adults and were very hidden. At that time, a few Japanese devils broke into the field house, and many women burrowed into the wide ramie field in front of the gate to hide, and the ramie grew about two meters high. Qian Zhengang boldly and calmly maneuvered with the enemy, opening all the drawers and boxes in his own home one by one for the devils to check. At that time, Qian Zhengang's eldest son, Qian Guanglu, was 5 or 6 years old, and the second son, Qian Guanglu, was only 2 or 3 years old.
Qian's Great Mansion Tian ya Old House Tian Ya was built by the 27th Zhen Zhai Gong Qian Bi Mei (1699-1767).
According to the 85-year-old Guanglu old man, there was once a company commander of three or five detachments who was recuperating at his home for more than half a year. During his tenure as chairman of the Mengtian Township Farmers' Association, Qian Zhengang learned about the suffering of tenants and reduced rent and interest for tenants. Despite his family's vigorous opposition, Qian Zhengang also sent more than 10,000 catties of rice to the Jinxiao detachment of the Zhejiang Vertical Third and Fifth Detachment. Because Qian Zhengang was an underground member of the Communist Party of China, on the eve of liberation, Zhu Qingyun, Zhu Guizhi, Ni Aishi, and others often came to his home for meetings.
In 1952, Comrade Qian Zhengang was classified as a "public court" landlord "without any reason." As a party member, he could have proved his innocence, but he just silently took on all this and taught his children to be upright people.
On May 1, 2021, I was with Qian Zhengang's family at The Field House in Tongming Village
The picture above shows me taking a group photo with Aunt Qian Qijuan, the daughter of 88-year-old Shanghai Qian Zhengang
Life is impermanent. On July 20, 1964, Comrade Qian Zhengang died of illness at the age of 58.
Ji Xianlin said: "On the road of life, everyone is a lonely traveler. ”
Whenever those distant memories are mentioned, the old man Qian Guanglu is full of pride and deep regret! He clearly remembers his childhood experience of following his father into the Qian family every Chinese New Year's Eve night to worship the ancestral idols. The most tearful thing for the old man was that his father called him to bed when he was dying, and said: "I am also a communist party member, in the second half of 1939, I joined the preparatory period for half a year, and in 1940 I turned to a single line of contact with Zhu Qingyun, chairman of the Shangyu County Farmers' Association..." The words revealed infinite loyalty and love to the higher-level party organizations!
Zhu Qingyun's profile, the picture comes from the propaganda wall of Zhuxiang Village in Yonghe Town
Wan Zhengshou once came to Nancun to look for Qian Zhengang before he was born, and when he met with Xu Xian and others in the Liming Village next door, he heard that Comrade Qian Zhengang had died of illness and deeply regretted it, and all of them sighed: "People regard him as an enemy, and we regard him as a red man." ”
The Slovaks are gone, but the spirit lives on!
"Profit is in one body, do not seek it, but those who benefit the world will seek it"!
Today, we recall and remember Comrade Qian Zhengang, a party member of the "tree roots," spread the glorious side of the humanity of our ancestors, and remember his spirit of not forgetting his ancestral precepts and silently dedicating himself to the party's revolutionary cause. For the Tongming Qian family, it is especially possible to influence how we hold the pulse of the times, build a community of family destiny, continue to spread the family style, be an honest person, do noble things, and contribute to regional cultural construction and economic development. This is probably a kind of home and country feeling!
Greetings to Comrade Qian Zhengang!
