Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Jian Family Brothers and Sisters

He Long and his entourage left Mengquan Township, crossed the path, walked along the barren beach, and walked towards Yangjiaxi in Cili County. Cili is located in western Hunan, 80% of which is mountainous, with a backward economy and inconvenient transportation.The life of the poor is extremely difficult, so it is very revolutionary. In late August 1926, Zou Wenhui, a member of the Communist Party, was instructed by the Executive Committee of the Hunan District of the Communist Party of China to go to Cili to prepare for the establishment of a party organization.Then Yuan Renyuan (named Yuan Minglian at the time, renamed Yuan Renyuan in 1929) and Zhang Yiming arrived in Cili, and formed the first party group in Cili County at the end of the year. Of.At the beginning of 1927, the Hunan District Committee sent Communist Party member Li Xiaqing from Cili to Cili to carry out the labor movement. Because Zou Wenhui was seriously ill and returned to his hometown in Taoyuan to recuperate, the Communist Party member Xiong Teling was instructed by the Hunan District Committee to go to Cili to take over. Clerk duties.Then the Hunan District Committee sent Communist Party member Liu Zijing, a special commissioner for the Youth Movement, Yang Wenhao, a special commissioner for the Women's Movement, and Zhang Changnian, an armed cadre, to Cili to strengthen the party's leadership in Cili County.After these party members arrived in Cili, they split up and went deep among the workers and peasants to carry out propaganda and mobilization, which made Cili's revolutionary movement develop vigorously.

On February 26, 1927, the Hunan District Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Plan for the Development of Party Organizations among Peasants", proposing that "every hundred members of the peasant association should have one comrade", so a group of backbone workers and peasants were absorbed into the party , In this way, four party branches were established in the county. In March 1927, the first party congress of Cili County was secretly held in the county seat.More than ten representatives participated in the meeting. The Cili County Committee of the Communist Party of China was elected at the meeting. The county party secretary, Zou Wenhui, included Xiong Teling, Yuan Renyuan, Wen Lianzhi, Liu Zijing, Yang Wenhao, and Li Xiaqing.

After the congress, the party's leadership was strengthened, and a number of party members were successively developed among the backbone of the workers' and peasants' movement.Before the "Ma Ri Incident", more than half of the districts in the county had established Communist Party organizations.The party organization leads the masses of workers and peasants to fight against the "ten control". "Ten Controls" refers to 10 bullies including Li Zhuchen, Dai Yiqiu, Song Ciyuan, Jin Ciren, Xing Xizhi, and Zhu Yunrong who control the county council, regiment defense, finance, education, chamber of commerce and other departments.The masses were mobilized to arrest and execute Dai Yiqiu, director of the Financial Management Office, and Li Zhuchen, the director of the county middle school's teaching affairs, among the "ten controls".Then Wu Woqi, a big landlord and bully who was hiding in Cili County in Jin City, was arrested and executed.For a time, people were very happy.The members of the peasant association soon grew to more than 10,000, and led farmers to reduce rent and interest throughout the county.At the request of the masses, the second batch of local tyrants and evil gentry were arrested, and just as the second batch of suppression was being prepared, the "Ma Ri Incident" occurred.

After the evil wave of the "Ma Ri Incident" spread to Cili, the reactionary forces in the county immediately launched a frenzied counterattack. At that time, Cili's garrison was garrisoned by Dai Douyuan, a miscellaneous army in western Hunan, with more than a thousand people. Dai Douyuan commanded his headquarters and the police to seal down the county party headquarters, the county federation of trade unions, and the county farmers' association.The guns of the workers' pickets and peasant self-defense troops were confiscated, all the landlords and gentry were released, and the Communists were arrested and killed. Fortunately, the members of the county committee were not in the county and were not killed, but they were wanted. In this way, Yuan Renyuan, Zhang Yiming, etc. into the ground.

After the "Ma Ri Incident", the Hunan Provincial Party Committee was destroyed. At that time, Yuan Renyuan, Li Xiaqing, Zhang Yiming and others who were going to participate in the "Provincial Democracy Movement Conference" in the provincial capital went to Wuhan together to find the party organization. In late June, they attended a meeting called by Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong talked about the lessons of the "Ma-Day Incident" and called on the participants to quickly return to their original jobs, restore their organizations, go up the mountain in the mountains, board the boat by the lake, pick up knives and guns, and carry out armed struggle.So Yuan Renyuan, Li Xiaqing, Li Caiqing, Xiong Maoshu, Wang Zhengkai and other six people went through Shimen, Jin City, and returned to Tongjinpu in Cili. They lived in Li Xiaqing's house.Due to poor secrecy, their whereabouts were discovered by the enemy, so Yuan Renyuan, Li Xiaqing, and Wang Zhengkai had no choice but to return to the provincial party committee.

After the three of them left, the Provincial Party Committee sent Communist Party members Li Lixin and Yan Wende to Cili to restore the party organization.Li Lixin, also known as Li Yekuan and Li Zizhen, was the eunuch of Cili Sanguan.Yan is Li's wife, from Li County.Li Lixin was appointed secretary of the Cili Branch of the Communist Party of China.After the two arrived in Cili, they started to restore and develop the party organization. At this time, Yu Aisheng, Jian Xianmei, Jian Xianrun, Zhang Chenchuan and other members of the Communist Party and some members of the Communist Youth League who were engaged in revolutionary activities in other places in Cili County also returned to Cili one after another.Li Lixin and his wife got in touch with Jian Xianmei and lived in Jian's house.

Cili Jian's family is a revolutionary family.The Jian family brothers and sisters are Jian Xianrun, Jian Xianmei, Jian Xianfo, and Jian Xianchao.Jian's family made a living by doing business, and their family was well-off. Because the father of the four siblings was progressive in thought, all four siblings participated in the revolution.Jian Xianrun was later renamed Jian Xianren, and Jian Xianmei was renamed Jian Xianwei.Jian Xianwei was born in 1911. He started studying in a private school at the age of 5, and later entered a high school. He graduated from high school in 1925, right after the "May 30th" tragedy. The atrocities of the imperialists aroused public outrage across the country. Jian Xianwei was very concerned about the fate and future of the country. He actively pursued the truth. He organized patriotic propaganda and speeches on the streets of Li, bringing a new vitality to the then closed Cili County.After graduating from high school, Jian Xianwei was admitted to Duize Middle School in Changsha, and joined the Chinese Communist Youth League in the spring of 1926. He sent his sister Jian Xianren the "Communist Manifesto" and "Guide Weekly" in letters, telling her that only communism is The fundamental way out to liberate the laboring people is to encourage my sister to leave the family and join the revolution.

Jian Xianwei's messenger, Sai Xianren, was very shocked, and she was eager to join the torrent of the Great Revolution.Because her grandmother was seriously ill and could not leave, she had to participate in revolutionary activities in her hometown. In the autumn of 1926, when his grandmother died of illness, Jian Xian went to the funeral to go home. The siblings met and talked freely. Jian Xianren told his younger brother about his learning experience and participation in the revolution. That is to say, I introduced my sister to join the Communist Youth League. At the beginning of 1927, Jian Xianren was also admitted to Duize Middle School.Soon, the organization sent Jian Xianwei to study at the Hunan Peasant Movement Workshop. On the morning of the second day of the "Ma Ri Incident", Jian Xianwei arrived at Duize Middle School. He was wearing only a shirt and a pair of shorts. Jian Xianren was worried about his safety. Seeing that his younger brother was safe and sound, his heart was hanging. lay down.The younger brother told the older sister that the workshop for the labor movement was surrounded by the enemy. Everyone resisted and was outnumbered. Some comrades died, some comrades were arrested, and the guns armed by the workers were confiscated. He was young and ran out while the enemy was not prepared. .

Two days later, Jian Xianwei's classmate, Zhou Ti from the Hunan District Organization Department of the Communist Party of China, approached Jian Xianwei and asked him to serve as a transportation officer, saying that he was too young to attract the attention of the enemy.Jian Xianwei fully agreed and promised to complete the task.Jian Xianren told him to be careful.It didn't take long for the enemy to know about Jian Xianwei's situation and pay attention to him.In this case, the organization sent him back to his hometown to escape, and Jian Xianren also returned to his hometown.After the siblings returned to their hometown, they met Li Lixin, Yan Wende and other responsible comrades of the Charity Party of the Communist Party of China, and arranged Li Lixin and his wife in their own home.Jian Xianwei told his mother that Li Lixin was his teacher and asked his mother to treat him well.

Due to the semi-paralyzed state of the party organization, the source of funds is insufficient.At that time, Jian's family had two workshops and two shops for business. In the name of helping the family's business, Jian Xian took some of the money his father did not put in the cabinet every day to help his comrades.Once, he took away 100 silver dollars to fund the party organization. When his parents questioned him, he said, "I took the money, so please don't get angry." His mother asked him, "You don't lack food or clothing, what do you do with so much money?" Jian Xianwei couldn't answer truthfully, so he had to keep silent.Later, under repeated questioning by his parents, he had no choice but to say: "You don't have to ask any more, you don't worry, it's just because you are afraid that I will use money to do bad things. I promise that I will not violate the teachings of my parents and never do bad things. I Everything you do is beneficial to the country. The old people oppose exorbitant taxes and exploitation every day. We are fighting against this dark rule. Don't you support us?"

Jian Xianwei's words made his parents stop asking.Just when Li Lixin, Jian Xianwei, Yan Wende, Zhang Chenchuan, and Jian Xianren were actively restoring the party organization, Tang Shengzhi went to Changsha in the name of resolving the Hunan issue, and disbanded the reactionary "party rescue party" organized by Xu Kexiang and others after the "Ma Ri Incident". Committee" and established the Hunan Provincial Party Committee Reorganization Committee.Wang Zhengkai was ordered by the party organization to get a post as a special commissioner of the Hunan Provincial Reorganization Committee and returned to work in Cili County.In this way, Cili's underground party organization gained the legal status of the struggle.The seats in the reorganization committee of Cili County are all members of the Communist Party, including Li Lixin, Wang Zhengkai, Yu Aisheng, Jian Xianren, Jian Xianwei, Xing Huanxi, etc. At the beginning of 1928, the Cili County Committee of the Communist Party of China held a joint meeting of party and league members at Zhang Chuntai's home in Shizi Street, the county seat.Zhang Chuntai is the landlord of Li Lixin and Yan Wende's rented residence.More than 50 people attended the meeting, chaired by Li Lixin. The meeting decided to strengthen political activities, develop and strengthen the party organization.It is also planned to use the county girls' school and the county lieutenant colonel as work bases, so that party and league members who come to work in Cili from other places can find public positions and obtain legal status. After the meeting, Communist Party members such as Jian Xianren, Xing Huanxi, Wang Peixian, Gao Suxin, and Wang Meihui separately connected progressive youths from the county girls' school and established the "Girls' Primary School Alumni Association". At the inaugural meeting, Jian Xianren spoke. At this time, Tang Shengzhi was kicked out of power by the warlords of the Guangxi clique. Tang's so-called Hunan Provincial Party Committee was forced to disband. Zhou Chaowu, the commander of Hunan Second Independent Division, entered Cili. After his department was stationed in Cili, the Cili County Reorganization Committee was disbanded. The local tyrants and evil gentry in Cili actively organized the "Cili Cleaning Committee" to arrest the party and leftists of the Kuomintang, and Cili was a white terror. Under such circumstances, Li Lixin convened an emergency meeting in Shangqingshan Temple with the participation of Yu Aisheng, Jian Xianwei, Jian Xianren, Wang Zhengkai, Yang Shuzi, Li Dazhang, Zhuo Renshu and other members of the Party and Youth League, and decided to stop collective activities. Those who are concealed should immediately go to the countryside to hide, and those who cannot hide in the county should quickly turn to other places. Li Lixin and Yan Wende went to Shimen, and continued to engage in revolutionary struggles in Shimen Nanxi and Baixianghu Primary Schools under the cover of teachers. At this moment, He Long, Zhou Yiqun, He Jinzhai and others arrived at Cili.
