The flower drum play "Zhang Kundi, a pioneer of the labor movement", opened today
On the morning of June 20, the newly compiled flower drum play "Zhang Kundi, a pioneer of the labor movement", officially began rehearsals at the small theater of the Taojiang County Cultural, Tourism and Sports Bureau. Wu Xiaoling, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Taojiang County People's Congress and chairman of the Taojiang County Federation of Trade Unions, announced the opening of the platoon.
Zhang Kundi, born in March 1894, is a native of Longtangwan Village, Cormorant Ferry Town, Taojiang County. In April 1918, he and Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen and others initiated the establishment of the Xinmin Society in Changsha. In September 1919, Zhang Kundi crossed the ocean to France to work and study. In the spring of 1922, Zhang Kundi was introduced by Li Dazhao to join the Communist Party of China. Under the direct leadership of Li Dazhao, he participated in the early Workers' Movement in China, and as a commissioner of the Communist Party of China, lit the first fire of the Zhengtai Road Workers' Movement in Shijiazhuang and led the Zhengtai Railway Workers' Strike to victory. Later, he moved to Shandong, Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, and participated in the organization of the Shanghai workers' strike. In June 1928, he went to Moscow to attend the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In 1931, he went to the Western Soviet District of Xiang'e as a special commissioner of the Central Workers' Movement of the Communist Party of China. In the autumn of 1932, Zhang Kundi died in Honghu Lake, Hubei Province, at the age of 38. After the founding of New China, he was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr.
Zhang Huijun, screenwriter of "Pioneer of the Labor Movement Zhang Kundi", introduced that the play reflects the historical fact that Zhang Kundi participated in leading the northern workers' movement, organizing the Zhengtai Railway Workers' Strike and achieving the final victory in the form of art, and is expected to be staged at the end of July. "We created the script "Zhang Kundi, a pioneer of the labor movement", to publicize the history of the party in a literary and artistic way, and it is also a concrete embodiment of the true practice of learning history, learning history to increase trust, learning history to revere virtue, and learning history to practice. We believe that by publicizing and carrying forward the revolutionary spirit of martyr Zhang Kundi, we can be more inspired to forge ahead in the new journey of chasing the Chinese dream and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and present the party's centennial birthday with more outstanding achievements. ”
Today, Zhang Kundi's hometown of Taojiang County, Longtangwan Village, Cormorant Town, has built the Zhang Kundi Martyrs Cultural Square, erected a bronze statue of Zhang Kundi Martyrs, and has become a patriotic education and party history study and education base. At present, the Zhang Kundi Martyrs Exhibition Hall is being prepared to build a martyrs' cemetery.
