Chapter 28 Xunwu investigation

(May 1930) This is the largest survey I have done.I have done seven systematic investigations in Xiangtan, Xiangxiang, Hengshan, Liling, Changsha, Yongxin, and Ninggang in the past. Gang two were made in the Jinggangshan period (November 1927)[1].The five in Hunan were placed in the hands of my lover Yang Kaihui. She was killed, and the five investigations were probably lost.Yongxin and Ningkang were placed in the hands of a friend on the mountain when the Red Army left Jinggangshan in January 1929, and they were also lost when Jiang Guihui attacked Jinggangshan[2].I am not in a hurry to lose anything else. Losing these surveys (especially Hengshan and Yongxin) makes me think about them often and will never forget them.The investigation in Xunwu was conducted when the Fourth Army arrived in Xunwu in May 1930, just after the Pitou meeting[3] (the joint meeting of the Front Committee of the Fourth Army and the Special Committee of West Jiangxi on February 7), Tingzhou Before the conference[4] (joint meeting of the Front Committee of the Army on June 4th and the Special Committee of West Fujian), I did not fully understand the issue of rich peasants in China, and at the same time I was a complete layman on the business situation, so I made great efforts to do so. this survey.The person who helped me organize this investigation was Comrade Gu Bai, secretary of the Xunwu Party (a middle school student, a bankrupt small landlord, a former elementary school teacher, chairman of the county revolutionary committee and county Soviet, and a native of Huangxiang).In terms of materials, Guo Youmei (59 years old, grocery store owner, former county chamber of commerce, native of the city), Fan Daming (51 years old, poor peasant, employee of the county Soviet Union [5], urban People), Zhao Jingqing (30 years old, middle peasant, worked as a cast iron worker and a small businessman, Chen Jiongming[6] served as a soldier and became a platoon leader, and is currently a member of the County Soviet Committee, from Shuangqiao District), Liu Liangfan (27 At the age of 18, the County Office's money and food collection clerk, the current Chairman of the Suburban and Township Soviet, and urban residents) four people, all of whom often go to the investigation meeting.In addition, Li Dashun (28 years old, a poor peasant, once served as a member of the District Soviet Committee), Liu Maozai (50 years old, an old boy, once opened a casino, did a small business, was originally a small landlord, was reduced to a poor person, and served as a county revolutionary committee member. Committee member, the current District Soviet Committee), also provided some materials, and occasionally came to our investigation meeting.There are also Liu Xingwu (forty-six years old, a farmer, a small businessman, a member of the Township Soviet Union, and a native of the city), Zhong Buying (twenty-three years old, a student of a normal school in Meixian County, the chairman of the district government, a member of Shi Pai), Chen Zhuoyun (39 years old, graduated from the Institute of Self-government, worked as a seamstress, started a small business, and worked as a primary school teacher), Guo Qingru (62 years old, scholar, went to the township examination, worked as a primary school teacher, urban residents) four people , I have been to one or two investigation meetings and provided some materials.Our investigation meeting was held by me and the above eleven people, and I was the chairperson and the recorder.Our meeting lasted more than ten days, because the Red Army units were divided into Anyuan, Xunwu, and Pingyuan to do the work of mobilizing the masses, so there was time for us to hold an investigation meeting.

The county of Xunwu is located at the junction of the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. After knowing the situation of this county, the situation of the counties at the junction of the three provinces is probably not far from the same. A major shortcoming of this survey is that it did not analyze middle peasants, farm laborers, and hooligans.Also, in the "distribution of old land", the land of rich peasants, middle peasants, and poor peasants was not separated.
