A hundred years of party history, study the sound of "Longyuan Fire Sower - Xuanxia Father" one

"Longyuan Fire Broadcaster - Xuanxia Father" (I)

Comrade Xuanxia's father, also known as Yao Huo, the soul of the sword, a native of Lanxiang, County, Zhuji County, Zhejiang Province, was born on December 5, 1899 in a small intellectual family with a poor family. His father, Xuan Tieshan, was a talented primary school teacher, who was honest and honest, and left a deep impression on the young soul of his father. His father studied with his father from an early age until he graduated from elementary school. In the summer of 1916, he was admitted to the Fishery and Waterlogging Department of Zhejiang Jiazhong Aquatic School. He studied diligently and was influenced by new ideas, so he ranked among the top in the summer 1920 graduation examination, obtained the official qualification to study abroad, and then crossed to Japan to enter the Fisheries Major of Hokkaido Imperial University to study biology.

During his time in Japan, Marxism had been introduced into the country, especially the victory of the October Revolution in Russia, so that he saw the light in the faint, so he worked hard to learn the experience of Marxism-Leninism and the October Revolution, looked for the reason for saving the country and the people, and began to realize that only by taking the road of the October Revolution could China be saved, thus abandoning the illusion of industry and saving the country, and actively participating in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutionary struggle carried out among Chinese students studying in Japan. When the Zhejiang Fisheries School learned of his participation in revolutionary activities in Japan, it stopped his official study abroad treatment. In 1922, he was forced to leave Japan and return to Hangzhou, consciously devoting himself to revolutionary activities. In 1923, Xuanxia's father joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League in Hangzhou, and soon became a member of the Communist Party of China. After that, in accordance with the instructions of the party, he actively developed party members and established grass-roots organizations of the party.

In 1924, Comrade Xia Father was sent to Guangzhou by the Zhejiang Party Organization and was admitted to the Whampoa Army Officer School to study, becoming the first batch of cadets of the school. He studied politics and military affairs diligently, and achieved excellent results in various subjects. He was later expelled for opposing Chiang Kai-shek's violation of the Kuomintang's organic law and returned to Hangzhou.

In the spring of 1925, Xuanxia's father was sent by the Party Central Committee to work in Comrade Li Dazhao. After he arrived in Beiping, Li Dazhao recommended that he lead a group of Communists to Zhangjiakou as a public member of the Left Kuomintang to do political propaganda work in Feng Yuxiang's Nationalist Army. After his father arrived at FengBu, he was appointed as a propagandist, and he did a lot of work with full political enthusiasm and flexible struggle tactics. On the one hand, he had extensive contacts with General Feng Yuxiang and his upper-level officers, united and fought for work. On the other hand, he learned from the experience of the Political Propaganda Work of the Soviet Red Army, opened clubs, libraries, and held training courses, conducted enlightenment education to the vast number of officers and men, propagated the Ideas of the New Three People's Principles and our Party, and secretly propagated Marxism-Leninism, thus opening up a new situation in the political work of our Party in the National Army. At that time, the Nationalist Army was ideologically chaotic, Christianity was prevalent, and there was a lot of resistance to propagating revolutionary theories and carrying out political work. But Father Xuanxia soberly realized that "the theory of revolution, of course, is not a theory of heaven and hell to comfort mankind and surrender to the status quo, but to arouse the courage of mankind and point out its way out, to struggle with the status quo." Therefore, in his struggle against religious forces, he adhered to both revolutionary principles and the art of struggle. Once, in order to test Xuanxia's father's attitude toward religion, Feng Yuxiang asked him, "Have you seen Gandhi's biography?" What about Gandhiism?" The chivalrous father replied euphemistically. "Gandhi doctrine, the value in India is the same as that of the Three People's Principles in China, India has the history and present situation of India, and their regime has been completely deprived by British imperialism, so non-cooperation is the way out of the way. As for China, although its economy has fallen to the status of a sub-colony, it is still an independent country in name only, and it is meaningless to merely be a movement of non-cooperation, and further active revolutionary action is necessary. Feng Yuxiang said that he wanted Chivalrous fathers and others to publicize Sun Yat-sen's New Three People's Principles in the army. Subsequently, the hero father used Feng Yuxiang to drive the priest out of the club, and since then the revolutionary theory has gradually penetrated into the hearts of the army.

In the same year, Li Changqing, commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Gansu Army, expelled Lu Hongtao, military superintendent of Gansu and commander of the First Division of the Gansu Army, and made himself the commander of the division. In August, the government of the Beiyang warlord Duan Qirui appointed Feng Yuxiang as the military governor of Gansu to suppress it. Feng Yuxiang sent Liu Yufen, commander of the Second Division, as the commander-in-chief of the Gansu Military Affairs Inspectorate, and Liu Yufen led the Second Division from Baotou to March to Gansu via Ningxia in September. Comrade Chi Father was ordered to also accompany the ministry on a western expedition. Along the way, he and Qian Songquan (that is, Qian Zhenbiao) and other Communist Party members had extensive contacts with people of all nationalities from all walks of life, learned about the political situation and folk customs in the northwest, personally drafted bulletins and leaflets, propagated the Three People's Principles to the military and the people, propagated the idea of opposing imperialism to overthrow the warlords, propagated the national revolution, and won the broad sympathy and support of the masses of all nationalities.

In October, Comrade Xuan gang's father marched more than 2,000 miles with the troops to Lanzhou, a major town in the northwest. At that time, Gansu was still under the cobwebs of warlord rule and feudal forces, and in order to carry out political work, Xuanxia's father and Qian Kunquan held workshops in the Nationalist Army, and Xia's father's self-sufficient middle- and lower-level officials taught courses such as "Three People's Principles," "History of Imperialist Aggression against China," and "History of the National Revolution." His lectures are practical and interesting, and the students are always attentive and quiet. Father Chi also often went deep into the barracks to give speeches and conduct revolutionary education for the vast number of soldiers. Once, when father Xia was dressed in plain clothes and went to the Wuquan Mountain Barracks in Lanzhou to give a speech, the deputy of the battalion thought that he was a Christian priest, so he gathered the officers and men to close his eyes and pray first, and Father Xia smiled and solemnly told everyone: "I am really happy to hear such melodious hymns and such sincere prayers today." But I, the pastor, do not talk to you about the heaven after death, but with you about how to break the hell of this life. The question was raised so sharply and clearly that it immediately attracted the officers and men who listened to the lecture. Then, he exposed the evils of the reactionary rule of the feudal forces, mobilized everyone to participate in the revolutionary struggle against imperialism and feudalism, and saved the suffering of the people and the misfortune of the country. Because of his active political work, he effectively instilled revolutionary ideas in the Nationalist Army, so that the army could quickly defeat the feudal warlord forces in Gansu.
