July 1920: Took the initiative to go out of Sichuan to Shanghai in search of revolutionary truth
After the outbreak of the magnificent "May Fourth" Movement, Marxism spread rapidly in China, opening the prelude to China's new democratic revolution.
In Yibin at that time, the spread of Marxism was divided into three ways. First, Yun Daiying, an early revolutionary activist of the Communist Party of China, spread the revolution, came to Luzhou in search of "seeds" and taught at the Chuannan Normal School, bringing revolutionary seeds to the youth of Yibin. Second, Yibin County's native intellectuals Zheng Youzhi, Chen Xuansan, Jiang Zineng, and others began to systematically read progressive newspapers and periodicals such as "New Youth," "Guide," "Communist Manifesto," and "Pioneer," accepted Marxism, and spread them widely. Third, a group of progressive young people and scholars influenced by the new trend of thought took the initiative to go out of Sichuan and go abroad to find revolutionary truth with the desire to save China, and Liu Hua was one of the representative figures.
In July 1920, Liu Hua went to Shanghai after bidding farewell to his family in Nixi. After being introduced, he worked as an apprentice in the printing house of the Zhonghua Bookstore in Shanghai, and found the truth of the revolution by reading revolutionary books and periodicals such as the Communist Manifesto and the Guide. In 1923, he was accepted by Shanghai University as a part-time student, and later joined the regiment and joined the party with honor.

February 1925: "February Strike" Eat and live with workers
The reporter saw in the memorial hall that the glass display cabinet displayed the progressive books and periodicals they had read. Next to the display cabinet, the scene of Liu Hua leading the majority of workers to "strike in February" was restored.
In 1925, Liu Hua organized and led the "February Strike" in which more than 30,000 mill workers participated. He ate and lived with the workers, negotiated with japanese merchants on behalf of the workers, and finally won the victory after more than 20 days.
When the "February strike" broke out, Liu Hua devoted himself to the leadership of the strike. He went down to the factory every day to meet with the workers' representatives, analyzed the strike situation, studied the tactics of struggle, received representatives of the trade unions in various factories, assisted in the preparation of trade unions, and organized propaganda activities. After the daily work, he also personally went to the factory area to give a speech, develop party members, and strengthen the party organization. The intense work made Liu Hua often forget to eat and could not go to sleep. With the development of the labor movement, the party led the workers to establish the inner and outer cotton spinning factory trade unions, and Liu Hua was elected by the workers as the chairman of the trade union.
Then, under the instigation and leadership of Liu Hua, trade unions were set up in each factory, and the workers strengthened their unity and persisted in the struggle. In order to maintain order in the strike, workers' pickets were also established. The enemy panicked and was forced to negotiate with the workers. Party Liu Hua served as a negotiator, and he waged a tit-for-tat face-to-face struggle with the Japanese capitalists.
On March 1, 1925, the Japanese factory accepted the conditions for resuming work such as "no one must beat people for no reason", and the "February strike" that persisted for more than 20 days was victorious. Japan's Asahi Shimbun exclaimed, "This has caused a serious incident that shook the Far East." ”

May 1925: May Thirtieth Movement Sacrifice for labor
The victory of the "February strike" not only tempered the fighting ability of Shanghai workers, but also made Liu Hua famous.
In April 1925, the Japanese merchants dismissed the workers under the pretext that the yarn market was light. On May 1, Liu Hua, together with Li Qihan and Deng Zhongxia, represented Shanghai industrial workers and attended the Second National Labor Conference held in Guangzhou. At the meeting, Liu Hua was elected as an executive member of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Subsequently, the Shanghai Japanese Textile Industry Union demanded that the Concession Ministry and Bureau and the Duan Qirui government ban the trade unions, and also threatened to close the factory. On May 15, Gu Zhenghong led the workers to fight for legitimate rights and interests and oppose the conspiracy of Japanese businessmen to close the factory, but the factory actually shot and slaughtered the workers, creating the "Gu Zhenghong Massacre".
On the afternoon of May 24, Liu Hua presided over Gu Zhenghong's memorial meeting in Tanziwan, which was attended by more than 10,000 workers and representatives from all walks of life in Shanghai. Liu wrote a handwritten inscription on Gu Zhenghong and hung it on both sides of Gu Zhenghong's portrait on the stage. The upper link is: "Although the gentleman is dead, the spirit does not die"; the lower link is: "Where is the axiom of the murderer"; the horizontal criticism: "The vanguard of the workers". In his speech, he made an impassioned statement, saying: "There are 10 killed 1 and 100 fallen 10!" Fire cannot be extinguished! The blood of martyr Gu Zhenghong will not flow in vain, he will arouse more people to rise up and fight against the enemy!" The workers were indignant, "Avenge the martyrs!" Down with imperialism!" The slogan echoed over Shanghai, shaking The west of Shanghai and shaking the heavens and the earth of Shanghai.

On May 30, more than 2,000 young students and other people in Shanghai distributed leaflets and delivered speeches in the concession, shouting slogans such as "Down with imperialism." When they were arrested and shot by the British patrols, they killed and injured our Chinese compatriots, resulting in the May Thirtieth Massacre that shocked China and foreign countries.
On the night of the May Thirtieth Massacre, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting in Shanghai and decided to organize an action committee, establish an anti-imperialist united front of all classes, and launch a strike, strike, and class strike throughout Shanghai. At the same time, it was decided to make the organization of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions public, and Liu Hua served as vice chairman and director of the fourth office.
The anti-imperialist upsurge set off by this strike has indeed stirred up the land of Shenzhou for a long time, pushing the anti-imperialist movement of the Chinese people since the Opium War to a new stage.

December 1925: Sacrificed at the age of 26, the Weekly Guide praised him as "a true Communist"
The general strike lasted for three months in Shanghai, with more than 220,000 participants in industrial workers alone. During the strike, Liu Hua was heavily responsible and lived a hard life with the workers. In his fourth office, he received 16 copper plates a day and could only fill his hunger with porridge steamed buns. But he still worked without sleeping or eating, and even became ill with overwork and lung disease recurred. But he was still so optimistic, often encouraging his comrades-in-arms: "We have difficulties, and the difficulties of imperialism are at least 10 times greater than ours, and the more we persist for one day, the more we will deal the enemy with one more blow." ”
In September 1925, imperialism and the Beiyang warlord government joined forces to intensify the suppression of the May Thirtieth Movement. On November 29, in the face of a dangerous situation, Liu Hua was arrested while attending a mass meeting at the Nanshi Public Stadium despite his illness, after which the party organization tried unsuccessfully to rescue him.
"Secret shooting, extermination of corpses without announcement". At about 11:00 p.m. on December 17, near the Gaochang Temple in Shanghai, a burst of heroic slogans of "Down with imperialism," "Down with the warlords," and "Long live the Communist Party of China" broke through the silence of the wilderness and suppressed the sound of evil gunshots... Liu Hua spent the last moments of his life here. He was only 26 years old at the time of his death.
Two days later, the British imperialist office's Shanghai Public Concession Bureau's organ newspaper, Zilinxi Bao, published the news of Liu Hua's shooting and killing under the title "Liu Hua's Death Sentence." Liu Hua's sacrifice provoked the immense anger of the Shanghai workers. Despite the threat of being expelled and imprisoned, they shut down their cars and sabotaged their work, honked their horns, and used various forms to mourn their dearest and bravest leaders.
Liu Hua, the proud son born on the banks of the Minjiang River, devoted all his energies to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese working class and the entire nation. The weekly newspaper "Guide", a publication of the central organ of the CPC Central Committee, published an article entitled "Tribute to Comrade Liu Hua" in the headline, praising Liu Hua as "a fighter who can really protect the interests of workers and really support the interests of the nation" and "a true Communist Party member."
