Chapter 42 5. Lin Boqu wrote poems about Farewell to Shuheng

The main force of the Red Army is about to march westward.Everyone understands in their hearts that this departure is not a short-term short-distance operation, and it is likely to require a long-term separation.The common fighting life and the deep class feelings, once we are separated, we all feel reluctant to say goodbye and cannot part.The comrades who left and those who stayed wanted to do something for each other before parting, or leave something to commemorate. He Shuheng, one of the founders of the CCP and the representative of the party's "big one", was left behind because he was not liked by the "left" leaders.

He Shuheng was eager to go on an expedition with the army.When he saw Zhang Wentian's article "Everything to Defend the Soviet" on "Red China", he felt that the main Red Army might be transferred, so he talked with Dong Biwu about his willingness to transfer with the army.At that time, he and Dong Biwu worked in the same organization. One day, he asked Dong Biwu: "If the main force of the Red Army moves, would you like to stay here or go with the army?" "If possible, I would like to go with the army." Dong Biwu replied. "The Red Army is running fast, can you run?"

"It's no problem to run sixty miles a day, and it's barely enough to run eighty miles. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to run a hundred miles. This is what I experienced when I came to the Soviet area," "I'm better at running than you. I have prepared two pairs of very strong sandals. Are you prepared for anything?" "Of course you are better at running than me. I only prepared a pair of new straw sandals, and I still have half-new ones on my feet." Although He Shuheng prepared two pairs of strong straw sandals, he never expected that his name would be included in the list of left-behinds by the decision makers.

Why don't "Left" leaders like He Shuheng?What is the difference in principle between He Shuheng and the "Left" line? The most important thing is that He Shuheng dared to uphold the truth and openly resisted the "Left" erroneous line, especially the "Left" line of eliminating counter-revolutionaries. The leaders and executors of the "Left" line will obviously not let He Shuheng's public resistance and repeated "disobedient" behavior. At the beginning of 1933, the temporary central government under the rule of "Left" adventurism moved from Shanghai to the Soviet area.In order to attack Mao Zedong's prestige among the people and local organizations, they mistakenly launched the so-called anti-Luo Ming line struggle.

Unsurprisingly, the anti-"Luo Ming line" has been criticized and attacked one after another by local and central government agencies, and He Shuheng has also been regarded as "another tendency of the Luo Ming line".By the beginning of 1934, he was removed from all leadership positions.Before the Long March, when discussing who would go and who would stay on the list, although Mao Zedong hoped that He Shuheng, Qu Qiubai and others could set off with the army, and He Shuheng made preparations for action, due to the disagreement of the "Left" leaders, He Shuheng, Qu Qiubai and others finally joined the army. It was still left behind.

He Shuheng is a very emotional person. Mao Zedong once said that "He Huzi is a bunch of emotions".When he knew that he was being left behind, he went to the market to buy some meat and fish, killed a self-raised chicken, prepared sake and peanuts, and held a casual banquet in Meikeng to bid farewell to his friends.Everyone's heart is very heavy.After lunch, He Shuheng gave his two pairs of straw sandals to his comrades in the expedition.He also used a horse to send Xie Juezai back to Yeping, where he lived, and gave Xie Juezai the pocket watch and small steel knife he had used for many years as a souvenir.

That night, He Shuheng prepared another jug ​​of sake and a plate of peanuts, and invited Lin Boqu, an old comrade-in-arms who was about to go on an expedition.The two huddled together for a drink and talked all night, saying how much they cherish each other.When parting, He Shuheng took off a sweater specially knitted for him by his daughter He Shishan, and generously gave it to Lin Boqu. Lin Boqu, also known as Lin Zuhan.He participated in the Tongmenghui in his early years and joined the Communist Party of China in 1921.During the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, he helped Sun Yat-sen reorganize the Kuomintang and determined the three major policies, making great contributions.

In 1927, he participated in the Nanchang Uprising and served as a member of the Revolutionary Committee and chairman of the Finance Committee. In 1928, he went to Moscow to study at Sun Yat-sen University, where he was in a special class with He Shuheng, Xu Teli, Wu Yuzhang and Dong Biwu. After returning to China in 1932, he entered the Central Soviet Area and served as Minister of National Economy and Minister of Finance of the Central Workers' and Peasants' Democratic Government. He is a very prestigious old comrade in the party. Faced with He Shuheng's sincere affection, Lin Boqu was so moved that he immediately wrote a poem "Farewell to Meikeng":

Unexpectedly, the reunion of the two elders in Meikeng turned out to be a farewell. After the Red Army marched westward, the base area fell quickly, and He Shuheng and other comrades were in an extremely difficult and difficult situation. In February 1945, Li Liuru, an old friend of He Shuheng, faithfully reproduced the situation of He Shuheng and other comrades in their persistent struggle in a letter of thanks to Juezai: Comrade Shu Heng lived with the team in Gongguan Township, Yudu County, Jiangxi Province for a short period when the Soviet Area was reduced to a guerrilla area in 1935.The party sent him to help the township government mobilize. He supported a crutch every day and went out at night and returned late. Although it was very hard, he had no complaints.Although we did not dare to say that this kind of work was assigned to an old man who is nearly 60 years old, we were very sad.The most distressing thing was that when the township sent him out of the Bai area with Qiubai, Zhang Liang, and Zhou Yuelin, he had no shoes on his feet (wearing a pair of worn-out shoes).

When I left, I came to ask me: "Liu Ru, do you have any shoes?" Before I could say anything, my eyes became red and wet. Immediately, I gave him a pair of new gray rubber shoes given by Chen Xiangsheng, director of the Jiangkou Trade Bureau, and he sighed, "Oh! Liu Ru, unexpectedly, my old bones will be sent to the White District!" In February 1935, He Shuheng and others were unfortunately surrounded by the enemy on their way from Jiangxi to Fujian.Zhang Dingcheng once heard from Deng Zihui that when they were crossing a river somewhere in Fujian, the enemy chased him, and old man He couldn't run, even if Deng Zihui supported him.He was afraid that Deng would die together, so he wanted Deng to run away, and said to Deng: "Run quickly, don't get tired, I have no choice but to shed the last drop of blood for the Communist Soviet."

He Shuheng died in this way at the age of 59.His unfortunate death has aroused the grief and indignation of many comrades.Dong Biwu, his old comrade-in-arms, said with great grief when he learned that he had indeed died after arriving in northern Shaanxi during the Long March: "In the Central Soviet Area, Yin Shuheng, Teli, Juezai, Boqu and myself were five people. We are a little older, and all the comrades call us the "five elders". When we set off, Teli, Juezai, Boqu, etc., and I all moved with the Red Army. Countless times, the enemy has raided countless times. The wild Jedi in Miaoshan, the camping in the grassland and snowy mountains did not hinder us. We all arrived at the destination with the army. Only Comrade Shuheng stayed in the Soviet area and fell into the hands of the counter-revolutionaries. What a sad and indignant thing it is to be their victim! Comrade Shuheng's body was wiped out, but his spirit is immortal. Now hundreds of thousands, millions of people march forward to commemorate his blood. He. He died personally, but he lives on in the hearts of millions."
