Chapter 9 disaster relief

After being detained, Huang Ziwen was rescued and released by the party organization. He organized forces with Yang Zhizhong to kill Wang Houan, head of the militia in Wuzi District, and more than ten bad gentry, seized some weapons and ammunition, and continued the armed struggle. In September 1928, Zhang Bingren, secretary of the Sanyuan County Committee of the Communist Party of China, was forced by the situation to leave Sanyuan for Shanghai, and the work of the county party committee was interrupted.Under the insistence of Huang Ziwen and Tang Yuhuai, Wuzi District is still organizing and continuing activities.

From the autumn of 1928 to the spring of 1929, the continuous drought in Guanzhong, coupled with the looting and harassment of warlords and bandits, devastated the Weibei area, and the vast number of poor people lived on grass roots and bark.The disaster situation in Wuzi District was even more serious, and the victims were panicked and ran for their lives everywhere.Huang Ziwen was deeply saddened to see this.He anxiously summoned Sun Pingzhang, Ma Xianmin, and Tang Yuhuai, who were in charge of the district committee, to discuss relief for the victims.Ziwen said: "Now that the disaster is serious, we can't just watch people starve to death. We should establish a mass organization and call on everyone who has food to donate, and the amount of food to be donated to the wealthy gentry." Everyone agreed Ziwen Wen's proposition, immediately organized the "Wuzi District Local Relief Committee" in Xiwangbao, elected Huang Ziwen as director, Tang Yuhuai as deputy director, Ma Xianmin, Hou Shouyu, Hou Yongyi, Sun Pingzhang, Xue Hongdao, Li Yongfu, Kang Dekuan, Han Wenxi as a member.In order to deal with the local tyrants and evil gentry, the "Relief Association" also set up an armed defense force.Ziwen mobilized everyone and said: "Disaster relief is like firefighting. The burden of saving the lives of the victims in our hometown falls on our shoulders. Now we will publicize it in sections, and in a few days we will hold a meeting in Chang'aobao to report on the implementation. For the local tyrants and evil gentry, we plan to For the recalcitrant households, decisive measures must be taken." Ziwen then announced: "During the fundraising period, all administrative powers of the local administrators will be suspended." Local administrators can only participate in the fundraising work in their own names.

On May 13, a mass meeting of more than 2,000 people was held in Chang'ao Fort.Ziwen told everyone about the plight of the victims, and called on households with grain to donate surplus grain in a humanitarian spirit.After the mobilization, he took the lead in donating seven stones of grain.Driven by him, he reported on the spot to donate about fifty shi.After the meeting, the method of "eating the big households" was adopted for the local tyrants and evil gentry who refused to donate grain, and forced to collect grain.In this way, in less than a month, a total of 88 shi was raised and distributed to more than 3,700 hungry people without food, which solved the urgent needs of the victims, won the masses' trust in the Communist Party, and hit the local reactionary regime.Eighty-nine-year-old Xi Haosheng, who has been following Ziwen in the revolution, recalled: "The friendship between the second brother and the villagers is a friendship in adversity, a brotherhood!"

Huang Ziwen devoted himself to the revolution and left his personal affairs behind. He has reached the age of marriage, but he has never talked about it.Tang Yuhuai, a former propaganda committee member of the district committee, was anxious when he saw what he saw in his eyes, and went around to seduce Ziwen.Once, when he saw Huang Xiaxian leading back a female student with delicate features and gentle manners, his eyes lit up.After inquiring, I found out that it was my classmate Li Shengli's younger sister, named Sheng Yun, who was studying in Xi'an.So, he approached Li Shengli to explain his thoughts.Li Shengli admired Huang Ziwen's character very much, so he agreed to introduce his younger sister to Ziwen, and worked with Tang Yuhuai to do Sheng Yun's work well.

In August, Huang Ziwen married Li Shengyun, presided over by Tang Yuhuai and others, and took her on the road of revolution together. In September, in view of the suspension of the work of the Sanyuan County Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Shaanxi Provisional Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to form the Sanyuan Special Branch of the Communist Party of China by Huang Ziwen, Sun Pingzhang, and Tang Yuhuai, and Huang Ziwen was appointed as the special branch secretary.The party work in Sanyuan County became active again.
