Peng Pan was born in 1896 in Haifeng County, Guangdong Province. In May 1921, Peng Pan returned from studying in Japan and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year. 

In July 1922, Peng Pan established the "Six-Member Peasant Association". On January 1, 1923, Peng Pan established China's first county-level agricultural association organization, the Haifeng General Farmers' Association, which has since developed rapidly, and by the time the Guangdong Provincial Farmers' Association was established in July of the same year, the number of members had reached 200,000. 

In April 1924, Peng Pan went to Guangzhou to lead the peasant movement. 

In November 1927, Peng Pan led the establishment of the country's first Soviet power, the Hailufeng Soviet Power. In November 1928, Peng Pan was elected a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee and served as secretary of the CPC Central Committee, member of the Central Military Commission of the CPC Central Committee, and secretary of the Military Commission of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the CPC. 

On August 24, 1929, Peng Pan was arrested for betrayal by traitors, and on August 30, he was secretly killed by reactionaries in Shanghai at the age of 33. He was called "the king of the peasant movement" by Comrade Mao Zedong. 

In September 2009, Peng Pan was named "100 Heroic And Exemplary Figures who Made Outstanding Contributions to the Founding of New China". 

Chen Huojin, director of the Memorial Hall of the Red Square Site of Haifeng Red Palace: The spirit of Peng Pan is actually the spirit of daring to be the first and selflessly dedicating. He did not think about living a life of pampering himself, but about the fact that the vast number of toiling people in the depths of the water could live a good life. Today, when we study the history of the Party, we must draw from these red cultures the spiritual strength of overcoming thorns and starting a business and serving the masses of the people.
