Today (31st) morning, the launching ceremony of the major theme publicity activity of "Using Youth to Shine the Light of Faith" was held in Shanghai Longhua Martyrs Cemetery (Longhua Martyrs Memorial Hall).
Before the founding of New China, 42 members of the CPC Central Committee died heroically. Yun Daiying is one of them. At the scene of the event, Yun Daiying's granddaughter Yun Mei read a letter to her grandfather.
Yun Daiying was one of the leaders of the Chinese revolutionary youth movement. Graduated from Wuchang Zhonghua University. Before and after the May Fourth Movement, it played a great role in the spread of new culture and Marxism. The Chinese Youth, which he edited, has educated and influenced an entire generation of young people. The vast number of young people regard "Chinese Youth" as a good teacher and good friend, and regard Yun Daiying as a guide. As Guo Moruo said: "Before and after the Great Revolution, all the young students who had a little progressive thinking, who did not know Yun Daiying and who had not been influenced by him, could say that there were none." ”
In 1924, during the first period of Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, Yun Daiying participated in the work of the Shanghai Executive Department of the Kuomintang, and later participated in leading the May Thirtieth Movement, the Nanchang Uprising and the Guangzhou Uprising. In February 1926, Yun Daiying published "Party Discipline and Military Discipline" in the tenth issue of the Whampoa Military Academy's journal Revolutionary Army, emphasizing that the army "must understand and obey the party's doctrine and fight against the enemy of the Chinese nation under the guidance of the party."
In 1930, he was arrested while serving as secretary of the Hudong District Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and was imprisoned at the Songhu Police Headquarters of the Kuomintang in Longhua, and then escorted to the Kuomintang's "Central Military Prison" outside the Jiangdong Gate of Nanjing. After his arrest, Yun Daiying, alias Wang Zuolin, claimed to be an unemployed worker from Wuchang who had come to Shanghai to find work, never revealed his identity, and in Longhua Prison, he insisted on continuing his revolutionary work with speeches and words. In April 1931, Yun Daiying's identity was revealed, and the Kuomintang Xu persuaded him to abandon the revolution with a high-ranking official Houlu, but Yun Daiying did not give up his faith. This mentor of the Chinese youth, with his heroic life, realized his ideals, and Zhou Enlai affectionately called him "the model of the Chinese revolutionary youth."
"When Grandma went to prison, she saw that Grandpa was very thin because he had tuberculosis at the time, but he was still very firm, and his faith in the revolution was very firm. Grandma showed him the picture of his father, and Grandpa said to Grandma that we must educate our children well, no matter how hard we are and tired, we must cultivate our children well, he is the hope of the revolution. This is the story that Yun Mei heard most from her father.
"Wandering the rivers and lakes and traveling in the old days, the lives and deaths of thousands of years, have fought for the common things, and left proudly as a prisoner." This is a poem written by Grandpa in prison, and then he sang the "Internationale" and spoke generously to the executioners. To his death, he did not bow his head to the enemy's guns, but shouted 'Long live the Communist Party of China', shedding the last drop of blood for the cause of the Chinese revolution. Yun Mei said, Grandpa, how can we forget you?" In prison, you told your grandmother that he was the hope of the revolution to raise his children well; today, the new China for which you shed blood and sacrificed your life has stood up, become rich, and become strong, and countless young people, countless children who live happily and grow up, are continuing to become the hope of the future of this ancient nation.
Grandpa, did you see that?
