In 1934, in accordance with the requirements of their superiors, Fang Zhimin and Liu Yuxi led the Red Tenth Army north into southern Anhui, the purpose of which was to cover the Long March of the Red Army.
Soon after the Red Tenth Army's more than 10,000 people entered southern Anhui, they were surrounded and blocked by the enemy, coupled with insufficient supplies, and the losses of the troops were very large. Subsequently, the troops returned to the Anhui-Gansu border, encountered the enemy on the road, and were scattered and divided into two sections. At that time, Fang Zhimin led a part of the troops out of the encirclement, but he saw that the large troops did not follow, so he decided to return. Su Yu, chief of staff, asked Fang Zhimin to go to northeastern Gan first, and they would go back to pick him up. However, Fang Zhimin was not at ease, and ordered Su Yu to let them go first, and then resolutely entered the enemy's encirclement. In the end, Fang Zhimin found the remaining team of more than 2,000 people, but was soon surrounded by 14 regiments of the enemy, and the situation was extremely critical due to the lack of ammunition and food in the Red Army.
Fang Zhimin was undaunted and led the team to fight heroically, and finally only more than 80 people were left. In the end, Fang Zhimin and the troops were separated, and only Wei Canfa, a personal guard, was left by his side. The two hid in a cave because they had eaten all the food they had brought with them, and Wei Canfa told Fang Zhimin that his sister was near Huaiyu Mountain, and he quietly went to his sister's house to get some food. Fang Zhimin knew that without food, the two obviously could not hide in the cave for long, so he agreed to let Wei Canfa go and get food.
Unexpectedly, before Wei Canfa reached his sister's house, he was discovered by the enemy who was searching everywhere. After interrogation and identification by others, the enemy learned that Wei Canfa was actually Fang Zhimin's personal guard, and he suddenly became energetic. The enemy believed that Wei Canfa must have known Fang Zhimin's whereabouts. The enemy first tortured, and then threw bait, promising to enjoy the glory and wealth and reward the woman and silver dollars by saying where Fang Zhimin was.

Wei Canfa followed Fang Zhimin for many years, but he could not bear the punishment and inducement, and finally became a traitor, telling the enemy that Fang Zhimin was still on the mountain. When the enemy received this news, he immediately organized a large number of troops to conduct a carpet search. On January 29, 1935, Fang Zhimin was finally captured by two Soldiers of Chiang Kai-shek near longshou village in Huaiyu Mountain.
These two soldiers thought that a "big official" like Fang Zhimin would have a lot of money on him and could take the opportunity to catch a handful of oil and water. Unexpectedly, they searched Fang Zhimin's whole body, found only a pocket watch and a pen, and finally could only take Fang Zhimin away in disappointment.
When Jiang Shi learned of Fang Zhimin's arrest, he was very surprised and ordered the Jiangxi Party Department to try to persuade Fang Zhimin to surrender. While in prison, Yu Boqing of the Jiangxi Party Department said to Fang Zhimin: "The chairman of the committee attaches great importance to you, has been looking for you, and must be entrusted with a big responsibility." ”
Fang Zhimin was dismissive: "Jiang is nothing in my eyes!" ”
Yu Boqing: "Your team has been broken up and has failed." ”
Fang Zhimin: "Failure is temporary!" ”
[The main leaders of the Red Tenth Army, Fang Zhimin (center), Liu Yuxi (left), and Wang Ruyi (right), were captured. They know very well that if they fall into the hands of the enemy, there is no chance of survival, they are already ready to sacrifice, and their eyes are full of contempt for the enemy.
A true revolutionary like Fang Zhimin, the enemy's persuasion has no effect. The enemy exposed his original form and tortured Fang Zhimin in an attempt to destroy his will and force him to surrender, but Fang Zhimin was unmoved by the iron bones, endured great pain, and did not yield.
It was in such an extremely harsh and difficult environment that Fang Zhimin was full of passion and loyalty and wrote classics such as "Qing Poverty" and "Lovely China". On August 6, 1935, Fang Zhimin was killed in Nanchang at the age of 36.
What is "righteousness awe-inspiring"? Fang Zhimin's heroic gaze before righteousness is the best interpretation
Fang Zhimin was secretly killed in Xiashawo (now part of Nanchang Donghu District) in Nanchang City, and the exact location of the martyr's body is unknown, and the whereabouts of his bones are difficult to find. Until 1957, 22 years after Fang Zhimin's sacrifice, a local chemical fiber factory was excavating the foundation in Xiashawo, Nanchang, and found a bunch of bones with a pair of shackles next to the bones!
This is clearly related to the martyrs who were killed at that time. After receiving the report, the local personnel immediately organized personnel to seal off the scene and organized technical personnel to conduct an investigation. At the same time, Ling Fengwu, director of the Nanchang Detention Center, who was detaining Fang Zhimin at that time, was asked to identify him. After careful identification, Ling Fengwu confirmed that the shackles next to the bones were exactly what fang Zhimin's feet were worn on that year.
Martyr Fang Zhimin died with an infinite yearning for a lovely China. After Fang Zhimin's sacrifice 14 years, he and his comrades-in-arms dedicated their lives to the founding of New China. The shackles he wore on his feet later became a basis for identifying his remains.
Such a major discovery, it is obviously not enough for one party to identify it by memory. In December 1957, the bones were handed over to the Forensic Research Institute for laboratory testing, during which time Soviet medical experts were invited to help. Experts conducted laboratory tests and research analysis on the height and sex of the bones, and finally determined in May 1958 that this was the remains of martyr Fang Zhimin.
Unfortunately, although the remains of martyr Fang Zhimin were confirmed, it was a special era at that time, and the burial of the martyrs was repeatedly postponed, and his remains were kept in the forensic laboratory of the Public Security Department. After the end of the special era, the burial ceremony began. On August 6, 1977, Fang Zhimin's remains were placed in a special coffin made of Han Baiyu, covered with party flags, and escorted by people.
Meiling, Nanchang, Tomb of Martyr Fang Zhimin
Fang Zhimin's mausoleum was built on the mountainside of Meiling in Nanchang. On the way to the martyrs' tomb, cypress trees were planted. In front of the tomb, there are majestic cedars, like the Red Army that followed him, loyally guarding the heroic spirit.
