Chen Jing Lake: Green pine on the Northern Plateau

Reporter Liu Yong

Chen Jinghu, ziyintan, xiaoqiu, pseudonym Li Tieran. Born on October 25, 1901 in Habaqin Village, Jianping County, Former Rehe. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1923 and was an early member of the Communist Party of China in the northern region. In 1927, he was elected as a deputy to the "Five Congresses" of the Communist Party of China, successively served as the head of the Rehe Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the secretary of the Inner Mongolia Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, and was ambushed and killed by a reactionary militia group on May 12, 1933, on the way to the Zhangbei area to inspect the anti-Japanese armed forces. For the sake of the liberation of the Chinese nation and the success of the Chinese revolution, Chen Jinghu spilled his blood on the fiery northern land of Saibei, and his tall image was like a green pine on the northern Plateau of Saibei, eternal and everlasting.

In 1918, Chen Jinghu was admitted to the First Provincial Middle School directly under Tianjin; in August 1922, he was admitted to Nankai University in Tianjin; in 1923, Li Dazhao introduced him to the Communist Party of China, and from then on, he engaged in secret party work while studying. In June 1923, the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China decided that Communists should join the Kuomintang in their own name to establish a united front of democratic revolution. Chen Jinghu obeyed the party's resolution and joined the Kuomintang as a person, and from then on, he engaged in the party's underground work in his special capacity. In January 1924, he attended the First National Congress of the Kuomintang and became acquainted with Dr. Sun Yat-sen. In February, he was dispatched by the party to the patriotic general Feng Yuxiang as a detachment leader in the Northwest Army, and engaged in underground party work in Inner Mongolia. When Sun Yat-sen went north to Tianjin in December, Chen Jinghu met with Sun Yat-sen several times and was appointed by the Cpc Northern District Committee as Sun Yat-sen's special propagandist for going north to publicize the Declaration on Going North.

In order to facilitate the party's work, in early 1925, under the presidency of Li Dazhao, the northern regional committee of the CPC decided to establish four party working committees in Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, and Baotou. Chen Jinghu is the head of the Rehe Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and his public identity is that he is an executive member of the Party Department of Rehe Province of the Kuomintang. At the end of 1926, Chen Jinghu was sent by Feng Yuxiang to Pucheng County in Shaanxi Province as the county magistrate. On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup d'état, and Feng Yuxiang once implemented the policy of "cleaning the party". Faced with a serious situation, Chen Jinghu secretly left Shaanxi and returned to Beijing, where he engaged in clandestine party activities between Beijing and Tianjin under the leadership of the Northern District Committee.

In 1930, chen Jinghu lost contact with the party organization at all levels in the north. In order to connect with the organization as soon as possible, he and Liu Gang, a former member of the Inner Mongolia Special Committee, went on foot to the former Soviet Union to find the Communist International, and after connecting with the party organization, he immediately returned to China. After returning to China, Chen Jinghu served as the interim secretary of the Inner Mongolia Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, and was also in charge of organizational work, and from then on he assumed the pseudonym Li Tieran.

Immediately after the "918" incident, Chen Jinghu, in the name of the Inner Mongolia Special Committee, issued a call to the Mongolian and Han people of all nationalities in the whole region to "unite all nationalities in the whole country and oppose Japanese imperialist aggression." At the end of 1932, in the face of the Japanese imperialist invading army's wanton attack on Rehe, the Declaration of Resolute Resistance to Japanese Imperialism was issued.

In March 1933, the Japanese army invaded Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, and further invaded Tianjin and Chahar. At the critical juncture of national peril, the Communist Party of China took urgent measures to mobilize all patriotic forces to rise up against the Japanese invasion. Chen Jinghu was dispatched by the CCP organization to work in Feng Yuxiang's troops. In May, the Japanese invaders advanced step by step into the hinterland of Chahar Province, and Guyuan, Duolun, and others fell one after another. In order to establish and strengthen the people's anti-Japanese allied army as soon as possible, Chen Jinghu risked his life to mobilize the masses and organize armed forces, often running between Zhangjiakou and Beiping. His revolutionary actions attracted the attention of the reactionary Kuomintang authorities, and on May 12, Chen Jinghu was attacked by a reactionary vigilante group and unfortunately died.

In January 1983, with the approval of the Liaoning Provincial People's Government, Chen Jinghu was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr. In May 1985, the Cpc Jianping County Party Committee and the county government moved the remains of the martyr Chen Jinghu to be buried in the northern suburbs of the county, and the Chen Jinghu Martyrs Cemetery was built.
