Carrying out the study and education of party history is a major policy decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core based on the new starting point of the party's century-old history, and is a major event in the political life of the whole party. In order to deeply interpret the main content and basic spirit of party history, draw forward wisdom and strength to forge ahead from party history, reminisce about the glory days, and inherit the torch of the times, Huasheng Morning Post "Guangxi in Party History" continues to publish "Red Traces" for readers.
Site of the Bantang stronghold of the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China
In July 1942, after the "July 9" incident in Guilin, under the white terror of the Kuomintang rightists, the Guangxi Party Organization decided to shift the focus of its work to the countryside in accordance with the cpc Central Committee's policy of "concealing and capable, laying ambush for a long time, accumulating strength, and waiting for the opportunity" in the Kuomintang-ruled areas in order to preserve its strength. This is a strategic shift from the city to the countryside. In August 1942, Huang Zhang, deputy secretary of the Cpc Guangxi Provincial Working Committee and head of the organization department, moved to Dawan Township in Laibin County as a businessman. Huang Zhang instructed Gan Huamin, a local Communist Party member, to set up a "Tianma Transport Line" in Dawan Township to raise funds for the party organization's activities and establish a transportation station for the provincial working committee at the "Tianma Transport Line." Due to the economic prosperity of Dawan Township, the personnel and environment of the people coming and going are complex, and the staff of the provincial working committee organs are at risk of exposure. After huang Zhang's activities in Dawan Township for a period of time, through the relationship between Ganhuamin's father, he opened a working base in Bantang Village, Chuanshan Township, Liujiang County.
Bantang Village is located at the junction of Liujiang, Xiangxian and Laibin counties, commonly known as "three regardless of the region". Mo Dingchao, a villager in Bantang Village, once the general manager of the Chuanshan Militia Regiment, recognized "Lao Geng" with Gan Huamin's father. Mo Dingchao was rich and powerful, and he was very prestigious in the Chuanshan area, and his youngest son Mo Zhengrong was the same age as Gan Huamin, and the two families often had contacts. After Gan Huamin took Huang Zhang to Bantang Village to meet with Mo Dingchao, he discussed the matter of running a brick kiln, and Mo Dingchao quickly agreed.
In the winter of 1942, Huang Zhang, his wife Gao Tianmei and the staff member Liu Qiong arrived in Bantang Village and stayed at the home of Mo Zhengrong, the son of Mo Dingchao. Gao Tianmei and Liu Qiong were both members of the Communist Party. Under the cover of running a brick and tile factory, they carried out revolutionary activities in Chuanshan Township. After they were at the foot of The Village of Bantang, it became a liaison point for the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee.
After Huang Zhang arrived in Bantang Village, he immediately began to prepare for the construction of a brick and tile factory. They asked people to dig up soil in the west of The village of Bantang Village to dig up soil and build kilns. Huang Zhang's public identity is the "boss" of the brickyard, Gao Tianmei is the "boss lady", and Liu Qiong is a "helper" in the family. Because Huang Zhang is the boss, he can often go out and move around, only Gao Tianmei and Liu Qiong live in Bantang Village for a long time. Huang Zhang also often went to various localities to understand the situation, mobilize the masses, and carry out struggles against the enemy. When they first arrived, they lived in Mo Zhengrong's house, and soon after the brick and tile factory started, they moved to a hut used to dry tobacco leaves in Mo Dingchao's family, not far from the village, which the locals called "tobacco room". In order to carry out underground activities, all those sent by party organizations or superiors to meet Huang Zhang were arranged by Gan Huamin and introduced by Yang Lin, a member of the Communist Party; all correspondence exchanged and exchanged were forwarded by Yang Lin. In August 1943, after Huang Zhang's party members who had retreated during the July 9 incident were properly placed, he began to consider arranging party work.
In August 1944, Qian Xing, secretary of the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, went to Bantang Village to meet with Huang Zhang to study how to implement the spirit of the instructions of the CPC Central Committee. In accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the CPC Central Committee and the Southern Bureau, and in light of the actual situation in Guangxi, the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee adopted the famous "August Decision" on "extensively mobilizing the masses and waging guerrilla warfare" to carry out armed anti-Japanese struggle. This decision was quickly conveyed and became the program of action of party organizations everywhere. The "August Decision" pointed out that the central task of the Guangxi Party organizations at present is "everything for the purpose of building anti-Japanese armed forces" and "everything for the development of guerrilla warfare." The Guangxi Provincial Working Committee instructed party organizations in various parts of the province to expose the policy of the Kuomintang diehards to retreat without a fight, expose the anti-communist acts of the Diehards of the Guangxi clique, mobilize and organize the masses to carry out guerrilla struggle to resist Japan and protect their hometowns, strive to create anti-Japanese armed contingents, and establish anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. The "August Decision" also pointed out that in order to avoid the blows of the Guizhou authorities, it is necessary to take part in various armed struggles organized by the Guizhou clique, to win leadership from them, to do a good job in united front work, to win the support of local fathers and gentlemen, to establish party organizations in the army, and to do a good job in ideological and political work.
The August Decision's highest requirement for Guangxi to carry out the anti-Japanese armed struggle is the creation of anti-Japanese base areas, which hold that the following conditions must be met: 1. The ruler has fled or disintegrated; 2. Our forces are quite strong; 3. It is suitable for carrying out guerrilla warfare; and 4. It has a period of more than two years. The Provincial Working Committee held that northeast Guizhou and southeastern Guizhou were the key routes for the Japanese army to invade Guangxi, and our party's strength was relatively strong, and there were conditions for creating base areas. The minimum requirements for waging the anti-Japanese armed struggle are: 1. If it is impossible to establish a base area, it will expand the party's political influence and publicize various progressive democratic measures in the liberated areas of north and central China; 2. Expand the party's organizations and mass organizations, especially the armed aspect; 3. Temper, educate, and understand cadres in the course of fighting, and learn from the armed struggle; 4. Seize some weapons from the enemy as much as possible; 5. Solve the problem of some economic difficulties and establish the party's economic foundation. The Provincial Working Committee also demanded that all special committees, county party committees, special branches, and branches fight independently according to the situation. Therefore, the provincial working committee concentrated its main forces on Guidong, northeastern Guizhou and southeastern Gui, and secretary Qian Xing was responsible for guidong and northeastern Gui, and acting deputy secretary Huang Zhang was responsible for southeast gui. Shortly after Qian Xing left Bantang Village, Huang Zhang also left Bantang Village to convey the spirit of the "August Decision" to the county party committees, special branches, and branches in Guidongnan. In December 1944, Gao Tianmei and Liu Qiong withdrew from Bantang Village, and this stronghold of the Provincial Working Committee was naturally abolished.
The "August Decision" of the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee has timely conveyed the spirit of the CPC Central Committee on letting go of the masses in enemy-occupied areas and vigorously publicizing and organizing the anti-Japanese armed struggle, so that the party organizations in various parts of Guangxi have a clearer goal of struggle and regard organizing and carrying out armed struggle as the party's central task; it is of great historical significance for systematically cracking down on the Japanese invading army and enhancing the confidence of the broad masses of the people in the victory of the War of Resistance.
From 1942 to 1944, the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China set up a working base in Bantang Village for two years, which played a great role in leading the revolutionary struggle in Guangxi. Only part of the ruins of the Bantang stronghold of the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China are now left.
The former site of the organ of the Guangxi Special Committee of the Communist Party of China
The former site of the Guangxi Special Committee of the Communist Party of China is located in Lijiazhuang, north of Wayaotou Park in the urban area of Beiliu City.
After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising on December 11, 1927, due to the serious damage of the Guangxi Party organization, the Guangdong Province of the Communist Party of China in Hong Kong appointed Comrade Zhu Xi'ang to lead Yu Zuoyu and others back to Lijiazhuang in Beiliu to carry out the work of forming the Guangxi Party organization as an organ.
At the beginning of 1928, Comrade Zhu Xi'ang held a meeting in Lijiazhuang, and the main task at that time was to restore the Party organization in Guangxi and at the same time develop the peasant movement, the labor movement, the military movement and the student movement. In June, the Guangxi Special Committee of the COMMUNIST Party of China held a meeting in Guixian County, and Comrade Zhu Xi'ang was elected secretary of the special committee and continued to work in Lijiazhuang.
Through the work of Comrades Zhu Xi'ang and Yu Zuoyu, the peasant movement in various parts of Guangxi has scored great achievements. In Yulin Five, the struggle for rent and interest reduction was carried out. In Beiliu, secret labor peasant associations were organized successively in Fucheng, Zhuwei, Niucitang, Jiudaipo, Baimi, Lingya, Fulai and other places, and the membership of local labor peasant associations in the county areas grew to more than 2,000 people. In June 1929, after Comrade Zhu Xi'ang was arrested and sacrificed in Yulin, Yu Zuoyu and other comrades still persisted in the struggle in Lijiazhuang. Soon, Yu Zuoyu transferred to Nanning and Longzhou to work, and Huang Jiagu, secretary of the Beiliu County CPC Committee, was still leading local revolutionary activities in Lijiazhuang. In October 1930, Comrade Huang Jiagu went to Zhumei Village in Yulin to attend the meeting of the Five Clan Committees, planning to organize the Five Clans Rebellion, but was arrested and killed for informing traitors. The special committee organs were transferred from Lijiazhuang.
Lijiazhuang was founded in 1925 as the home of Li Yan, a member of the Communist Youth League. The house sits west to east, consisting of three main buildings and gate towers, turrets and outer walls, covering an area of 2561.04 square meters, with a construction area of 1061.04 square meters, green brick floor, green tile roof, brick and wood structure, two-story hard hilltop building.

The meeting put forward the general policy and tasks of "all struggles for the preparation of an armed uprising.". This was an important meeting, and the strategic shift in the focus of Guangxi's revolutionary work from underground struggle to open armed struggle was realized in a timely and smooth manner, and the revolutionary struggle in Guangxi was pushed to a brand-new stage. After the meeting, party organizations in various parts of Guangxi successively organized about 6,500 revolutionary masses in 21 counties to hold armed uprisings. On September 4 of that year, the Hengxian County Committee of the Communist Party of China organized the masses to hold the famous "Hengxian Uprising", and the uprising team grew to more than 1,300 people and captured 13 township offices.

The former site of the Preparatory Committee of the Guangxi Yujiang Special Committee of the Communist Party of China
The former site of the Preparatory Committee of the Guangxi Yujiang Special Committee of the Communist Party of China is located in Mugenwei, Kuiyang Town, Xingye County.
In the spring of 1935, Through the introduction of Tang Ren, the head of the party organization in Xingye County, Chen An went to Mugenwei in Kuiyang, Xingye County, to find Huang Wenguang, an underground party member under the cover of a doctor. After that, Huang Wenguang recruited advanced elements into the party in the peasant movement and established the Mugenwei (Kuiyang) branch of the CPC.
On November 7, 1935, Chen An and others held a meeting of the Preparatory Committee for the Reconstruction of the Yujiang Special Committee at the Mugenwei Yongyuan Inn in Kuiyang Township, Xingye County.

The meeting decided to establish a preparatory committee for the Yujiang Special Committee, elect Chen An as secretary of the preparatory committee, and Huang Zhang, Yang Diqi, as members, and set to convene the Yujiang Regional Party Congress at an appropriate time the following year. After the establishment of the Preparatory Committee for the Yujiang Special Committee, the main task was to continue to establish and develop party organizations. By November 1936, Guangxi had established county committees in 5 counties, including Luchuan, Beiliu, Yongning, Binyang and Hengxian, and 6 counties in Guixian, Xingye, Yongchun, Cenxi, Cangwu and Qianjiang, with more than 600 party members. The Preparatory Committee of the Yujiang Special Committee has restored contact with the Laosu District of Youjiang, creating conditions for the establishment of a provincial-wide party leadership body.
From November 7 to 8, 1936, the scheduled Yujiang District Party Congress was held in Sanliluo Village, Guixian County. Nearly 20 representatives of party organizations from various localities attended the meeting, and since the delegates attending the meeting had gone beyond the scope of the Yujiang area, Li Shouchun, a liaison officer sent by the CPC's Southern Provisional Working Committee, suggested that the Yujiang Party Members' Congress be changed into the CPC Guangxi Provincial Congress. The congress elected the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee of the CPC, elected 6 members, and Chen An served as secretary and director of the organization. The establishment of the Provincial Working Committee realized the unified leadership of the Party organization in Guangxi and restored the organizational relationship with the superiors that had been interrupted for 4 years.
