On January 12, 1947, in the Village of Yunzhou West, where the wind was angry, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the blood of the revolutionary martyrs flowed out, staining the land they had vowed to defend to death...
In the midst of the heavy siege of the Kuomintang reactionaries, there was also a 15-year-old girl who was still not afraid in the face of the enemy's threats and inducements and severe torture.
"You just carried me a golden man out, and I didn't confess!" Those who want to kill and slash you, who are afraid of death, are not Communists! ”
This was the last voice she left for the world, and then she walked to the knife without hesitation, martyred herself, and saved her faith with her young life.
How majestic, how indignant!
15 years old! If it is placed today, a child of this age must be pampered by her parents in the palm of her hand, but she has taken up the burden of saving the country and the people with her young shoulders, and sacrificed everything for it!
She was the heroine Liu Hulan, and the youngest Communist Party member at the time of her sacrifice. In her cemetery, three generations of leaders have written inscriptions for her, inspiring generations of young people to learn from her fearless revolutionary spirit.

Liu Hulan was born on October 8, 1932, to a poor family in Yunzhouxi Village, Wenshui County, Lüliang City, Shanxi Province.
Both father and mother were honest farmers, facing the loess all year round with their backs to the sky to provide for the food and clothing of the whole family.
But the good times were not long, when Liu Hulan was four years old, her mother became ill with overwork, and the young Liu Hulan stayed in front of her mother's bed every day, cleaning the spittoon for her mother, carrying water and delivering medicine, hoping that her mother would get better soon.
But the day did not go according to people's wishes, and her mother finally gave up and left her.
Later, the father married his stepmother into the door. Fortunately, her stepmother Hu Wenxiu was a gentle and kind woman, and she regarded Liu Hulan as her own and carefully raised her.
As the "Little Yan'an" in the eyes of revolutionaries, the revolutionary atmosphere in Yunzhou West Village has always been strong, so her stepmother Hu Wenxiu often told Liu Hulan about the heroic deeds of the revolutionary martyrs when she was young, and when Liu Hulan was 8 years old, she was sent to the village primary school to study.
Subtly, Liu Hulan's heart also quietly planted a seed of devotion to the revolution.
Moreover, at that time, it was the brutal Japanese who burned and plundered on the territory of our country, and did all kinds of evil, and the innocent people were destroyed and displaced under the trampling of the Japanese Kou's iron hooves. As a member of the sons and daughters of China, how could Liu Hulan stay out of the matter?
At that time, the grocery store in the village was the secret sentinel for our party to pass on the news, because Liu Hulan's mother was a relative of the owner of the grocery store, so Little Liu Hulan often went to the grocery store to help, where she heard many blood-boiling and extremely tragic anti-Japanese heroic deeds.
Inspired by this, 10-year-old Liu Hulan joined the children's group in 1942, hoping that he would one day be able to join the battlefield like the heroes in the story, killing the enemy and repaying the country.
In January 1945, Liu Hulan participated in the xishe grain grab battle as he wished, and together with the revolutionaries, carried the grain bag with his thin shoulders.
In October of the same year, despite the strong opposition of her family, she came to Fenhe Guanjiapu Village alone to join the women's liberation training class.
Because Liu Hulan was selected as the leader of the group because of her excellent performance and positive thinking, Liu Hulan was not proud and complacent because of this, she became more and more serious, and eagerly absorbed the party's advanced ideas.
At the subsequent anti-hegemonic mass meeting, she made a generous statement, denouncing the feudal and bad habits that the bully landlords clung to, and exposing their crimes of oppressing and maiming the people, because of their outstanding performance, they were unanimously praised by the party organization.
After finishing his studies in the women's liberation class, Liu Hulan returned to Yunzhouxi Village and served as the secretary of the women's rescue association in the village.
She actively organized women to hold winter schools, made military shoes for soldiers, helped the families of soldiers and martyrs solve their living difficulties, and mobilized the masses and party members to comfort the troops and send public food to the front.
With the concerted efforts of the sons and daughters of China, the protracted War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was finally victorious, but the peace that the common people had hoped for did not come, because the Kuomintang reactionary government provoked a civil war for its own selfish interests, and the War of Liberation broke out.
Wenshui County, where Liu Hulan was located, was also affected by the war, and Liu Hulan was greatly touched by the hardships of the frontline fighters, so in February 1946, she enthusiastically signed up to fight against the armed forces of the Kuomintang led by Yan Xishan in Shanxi.
In the spring of 1946, Wenshui County issued a task of 200 kilograms of cotton, which was completed on the 20th. In order to ensure that the front line has no worries, Liu Hulan, who received the task, led the women to rush to work day and night, and completed the task in just 18 days.
Because of her outstanding performance, in June 1946, the 14-year-old Liu Hulan was honorably elected as an alternate member of the Communist Party of China (he could only officially join the party at the age of 18, Liu Hulan was too young at the time, and was posthumously recognized as a full party member on August 1, 1947).
After this, Liu Hulan always remembered the oath when facing the party flag: not to be afraid of suffering, not to be afraid of death, and to carry out the revolution for the liberation of mankind to the end.
In Liu Hulan's body, we see that the revolution has nothing to do with gender, let alone age.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109" >02 Calmly and righteously, martyred</h1>
In the autumn of 1946, the Kuomintang government issued an order to capture the Liberated Areas of the Central Plains, and Yan Xishan, who had been ordered, decided to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to attack the Jizhong region on a large scale, and threatened to "flood the Pingchuan River".
Major General Ai Ziqian of the Seventy-second Division under Yan Xishan led three regiments of troops to attack Wenshui County.
Suddenly, our Party was faced with a very critical situation.
After all, Yan Xishan started as a warlord, and behind him was the continuous weapon support of the Kuomintang reactionary government, and our party's strength in the Wenshui area was weak, so it was really not appropriate to confront him head-on.
In order to preserve the strength of our army, the Eighth Prefectural Committee of the CPC decided to transfer cadres up the mountain after discussion at the meeting to avoid head-on confrontation with the bandit army at Yan Xishan.
As long as the flame of the revolution is still there, one day, this spark will form a burning trend and win the final victory.
Later, when it was Liu Hulan's turn to transfer personnel, she shook her head firmly, saying that she was familiar with the local environment and asked to stay and fight.
In addition, he is young and not easy to attract the attention of the enemy, and it is more convenient to pass on news. After considering it, the party organization agreed to her request.
In this way, 14-year-old Liu Hulan stayed behind, running back and forth under the eyes of the enemy every day, secretly mobilizing the masses, burying grain, cooperating with the actions of the armed workers, and containing the enemy army.
However, at that time, Shi Peihuai, a bully in Wenshui County, as Yan Xishan's lackey, revealed to Yan Xishan the traces of the armed workers, persecuted the families of revolutionaries, and took the money and grain looted from the villagers to Yan Xishan.
Such a bully must be dealt with!
Liu Hulan and the members of the armed workers collectively executed Shi Peihuai in public, which made the people who were deeply persecuted by Shi Peihuai praise
The matter soon reached Ai Ziqian's ears, the life and death of a bully, Ai Ziqian naturally would not pay attention to it.
However, the unyielding attitude of the members of the armed workers made him very angry, and in his opinion, the actions of Liu Hulan and others were undoubtedly provoking him.
In order to maintain his little face, Ai Ziqian decided to lead an army to raid Yunzhou West Village. Liu Hulan, who contributed a lot to the execution of Shi Peihuai, became a thorn in the eyes of the reactionaries and a thorn in the flesh.
Liu Hulan's family was very worried, and they advised Liu Hulan to move up the mountain as soon as possible, they had already learned the cruel methods of the enemy, and if Liu Hulan fell into the hands of the enemy, he would definitely die.
After all, she was only a child under the age of 15! The best years of life have just begun. But Liu Hulan was resolutely opposed to this, and she wanted to stay and continue to fight the enemy and convey the enemy's movements for the members of the armed workers in various villages.
For the sake of the success of the revolutionary cause and for the liberation of the people, even if you die, what fear do you have?
Ai Ziqian, who was not much disturbed by the guerrilla warfare of the armed workers, quickly issued an order:
"The battalion's work this time is very lax, too soft and ... In the future, we must get rid of the book and get angry, and we must be tough, and we must no longer have the benevolence of a woman! Quickly arrest Liu Hulan, Feng Dezhao and others! ”
It was also at this time that Liu Hulan received a notice from the organization to let her transfer, go to the Village of Beiqi not far away, and join the people of the organization.
But the next morning (January 12, 1947), before Liu Hulan could leave, Yunzhou Xicun was already surrounded by Yan Xishan's bandit regiment, and all exits that could be left were firmly guarded by armed enemy troops...
Can't get out!
The enemy quickly gathered the villagers of the whole village and searched for the traces of Liu Hulan and others. Under the identification of traitors, Liu Hulan's identity was exposed.
After being arrested, in order to set up information about the large army, the enemy promised that as long as Liu Hulan confessed everything, money, houses, and power would be at his fingertips.
However, in the face of the enemy's inducements, Liu Hulan was not at all moved, and made it clear that even if the enemy moved a golden man out, she would never reveal half a word about the organization.
The unwilling reactionaries took her to the knife and killed in front of Liu Hulan the other six revolutionary comrades who had been arrested with her, in an attempt to destroy Liu Hulan's will and get the information they wanted.
Blood gushed from the bodies of his companions, and soon the yellow earth beneath his feet was red.
Liu Hulan clenched his fists, suppressed tears in the smirk of the enemy, and calmly asked the reactionaries: "Why do I have a way to die?" ”
"One kind."
After receiving the enemy's answer, Liu Hulan only lightly cut his hair and sideburns, and walked step by step along the blood of his companions to the knife, heroically righteous.
At that time, the people who witnessed the scene of Liu Hulan and other heroes' righteousness recalled, "Liu Hulan's death is strong! Before the sacrifice, the enemy grabbed her arm and wanted to ask something, but she threw it away, put on the turban and lay under the knife... What a cruelty! ”
She gave everything unreservedly to the party, to the revolution, and her life stayed forever at that moment.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="145" >03 Aoyama had the honor of burying loyal bones</h1>
Liu Hulan's sacrifice is undoubtedly a thunderbolt on a sunny day for his family.
But what made them even more sad was that the enemy was still looking at the tiger, and they could only secretly collect the bones of their daughter and bury her in a wasteland.
On March 26, 1947, chairman Mao led a large army to fight in northern Shaanxi, Ren Bishi reported to Chairman Mao Liu Hulan's heroic deeds of fearlessness of life and death and righteousness, and Chairman Mao was deeply moved after hearing this, and immediately wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "The greatness of life, the glory of death." ”
Liu Hulan's heroic deeds were also adapted into the opera "Heroine Liu Hulan" which was widely circulated in the army, and Yan Jizhou, the actor who played the executioner who killed Liu Hulan, even aroused the anger of the soldiers because the performance was too realistic, and on the spot, some soldiers pointed guns at his head.
Yan Jizhou recalled: "Fortunately, I was stopped by someone, and later, whenever I performed this paragraph, I was shocked. ”
In this way, Liu Hulan's story was passed on by word of mouth, and opera performances were widely circulated, which greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers to kill the enemy heroically and contributed a lot to the victory of the Liberation War.
In March 1953, the Wenshui County government held a solemn grave relocation ceremony for Liu Hulan, relocating her bones to the martyrdom place in the village for burial, and erecting a tombstone that reads "Liu Hulan Martyrs Are Immortal".
Regrettably, this heroine who is not afraid of death has not left a single photo before she died, and we have no chance to see her true face, and the white jade statue standing in front of Liu Hulan's tomb was also created by the famous sculptor Wang Chaowen based on Liu Hulan's stepmother Hu Wenxiu's dictation of Liu Hulan's appearance and body shape.
In 1962, Comrade Deng Xiaoping wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan, saying: "Liu Hulan's noble qualities and his spiritual outlook will always be an example for Chinese youth and teenagers to learn." ”
On February 2, 1994, when General Secretary Jiang Zemin inspected the work in Shanxi Province, he also wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "Carry forward the spirit of Hulan and dedicate himself to the great cause of the four modernizations." ”
And Liu Hulan is also the only hero who has won the inscription written by the three generations of leaders, but such an honor, the peace of the future generations, she will never see again.
In 1996, in order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Liu Hulan's sacrifice, the Wenshui County government added a film and television room for Liu Hulan's deeds and a calligraphy and painting room to the Liu Hulan Memorial Hall, and the leader's inscription.
On March 15, 2014, Liu Hulan's younger brother Liu Jilie came to pay tribute to his sister who died prematurely. The 15 pine trees that surrounded the tomb were still green, as tenacious as her revolutionary spirit.
As Zang Kejia said: "Some people are dead, but he is still alive." ”
Although Liu Hulan has been sacrificed, her unyielding revolutionary will and heroic feats without fear of life and death have forever remained in people's hearts, inspiring generations of descendants to learn and strengthen themselves...
