After unremitting efforts, the "One-Soviet Conference", which was postponed four times, confirmed the final timetable-November 7, 1931. The founding of the country is imminent, but until October, the constitution, land law, marriage law and many basic laws of the Soviet Republic have not been enacted. If there is no way to establish a country, what kind of country is the country?It is urgent to formulate red laws.Mao Zedong, who was about to become the chairman of the republic, had urgent consultations with the Standing Committee of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area and asked, "Can Ruijin find someone who drafted these laws?" Ren Bishi immediately shook his head.

Mao Zedong thought for a while, and said helplessly: "There is only a telegram to the Central Committee. Please hurry up and draft the telegram over there." "Over there" refers to the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai.A few days later, Ren Bishi came excitedly and told Mao Zedong: "There is a way, the central government sent us a red legal expert!" "Oh, that's great, who is he?" Mao Zedong asked happily. "His name is Liang Baitai, an early member of the Communist Party of China. In 1921, we went from Shanghai to Moscow to study together with Liu Shaoqi, Xiao Jinguang, and Wang Yifei. There, he and Cai Hesen, Qu Qiubai, Wu Yuzhang, Lin Boqu, Ye Jianying, Liu Bocheng, Liu Bojian, Xiao San, etc. He is very familiar with people, and later, he specialized in legal work and is also very familiar with government work." "Where is he, let's go and see him." Mao Zedong was very encouraged, and got up to meet people.

"He and his lover, Comrade Zhou Yuelin, have already arrived in Changting. The road is not smooth, and they are temporarily stranded in the Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee to help with work." "Oh, hurry up, and send Comrade Liu Bojian to work hard to pick them up." A few days later, Liu Bojian led an elite small army to open the Jiangxi-Fujian passage, and took Liang Baitai, Zhou Yuelin, and Lu Dingyi's wife Tang Yizhen all the way to Ruijin Yeping Village. Ren Bishi, whom the society met, met Mao Zedong, Zhu De and others.Liang Baitai was ordered in a hurry and immediately started to formulate red laws: "Constitutional Outline", "Marriage Law", "Organization Law", etc. After the "One-Soviet Conference", he became the Minister of Justice and later concurrently the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Zhou Yuelin served as the head of the Women's Department of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China because of a chance. At first, in the Soviet Provisional Central Government, Zhou Yuelin was in charge of women's work, and the name was not the Women's Department, but the Central Committee for the Improvement of Women's Lives.Zhou Yuelin is the director, Jin Weiying, Fan Lechun and other comrades are committee members.The provisional central government discussed and approved the "Organization Outline of the Women's Lives Improvement Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic".After a period of investigation and research, Zhou Yuelin started to focus on three aspects of work.

The first is to carry out foot movement.Although the women in the Soviet area enjoy the equal rights of men and women politically, they have been given the same land economically as men. Because they have small feet, they have limited mobility and cannot farm or participate in productive labor. Send water.Thus, it is impossible to achieve true equality economically.In response to these situations, the Soviet area vigorously publicized the benefits of big feet, and launched a foot-free movement. Most women let go of foot binding, and more women no longer have their feet bound since then, ending hundreds of years of foot binding bad habits.

Husbands beat and scold their wives, and parents-in-law abuse child brides-in-law, which has always been serious in rural areas.The Soviet government has just promulgated marriage regulations, and it is difficult to implement them well. Some district and township Soviet government chairmen don’t know what the marriage law is. All married.The Women's Life Improvement Committee focused on the implementation of marriage regulations, vigorously promoted the freedom of marriage between men and women, prohibited the adoption of child brides, and exposed some cases in the "Red China" newspaper to criticize the ugly behavior.The women were very happy and strongly supported the Soviets.

The women are all mobilized, and the focus of Zhou Yuelin's work is to expand his popularity.In the red zone, red expansion teams, condolence teams, and laundry teams were generally established, setting off an upsurge among women to send their husbands and children to the Red Army.Link the focus of women's work with the expansion of the Red Army by one million iron, and with the entire Soviet regime. Some women are very happy to promote the freedom of marriage between men and women, and mistakenly think that: freedom means that you can do whatever you want.As a result, random things happened in some places.Some women are on good terms with one person today, and another one tomorrow, going from side to side.There are also some people who are opposed to women's equality and women's liberation, and take the opportunity to say: This is the communism and the wife.As a result, it has caused adverse effects among the masses, and many people have opinions on women's work.

The central government convened a meeting of the heads of counties, and some people proposed that Zhou Yuelin should speak, which was actually a trap. Zhou Yuelin went in if he didn't know, and acted according to the usual practice. He went when he was invited, and he spoke as soon as he opened his mouth.Unexpectedly, after the speech was over, the applause was sparse, and people at the grassroots level began to ask questions in turn: "Freedom of marriage, does it mean that marriage is casual, why do some women mess around?" , I will go to heaven!"... Most of the men present at the meeting were constrained by traditional ideas and old local customs, and were dissatisfied with the equality of men and women. At this time, they talked a lot, and you competed for each other, and put forward a basket of opinions. They wanted Minister Zhou Yuelin to answer. They also wanted to take the opportunity Look at what this young and beautiful female minister is capable of.

Zhou Yuelin is a person who drinks water from big rivers. Not only is she not timid about this kind of scene, but she also longs for this opportunity to publicize it. After listening carefully, she answered patiently: "Implementing marriage regulations, advocating freedom of marriage, and implementing equality between men and women, I did not say that messing around is allowed. However, what everyone said is also true, and it will be inevitable for a while. Women have endured thousands of years of feudal oppression, and they are liberated all at once. Like a bird in a cage, it suddenly flies out of the cage, and does not know how to fly. This requires us to do more publicity and education work. Women's work is not just women's work. Everyone should do it together. The Soviet government at the higher level, especially all the leaders here..." Speaking of this level, she began to talk about the work: "All the leaders here are county leaders, and some of them are very busy. You are required to do it every day. Women's work is also unrealistic, but which one of you doesn't have a mother, wife, sister-in-law, or sister? You should help me first and do your homework well..." Women's work is actually a matter for the Soviet governments of the counties. It is the work of each person present.

After saying this, no one in the meeting room made a sound. From then on, everyone knew that this young and beautiful minister of women was very powerful. In Ruijin, people can often see Zhou Yuelin with short haircut and wearing military uniform, riding a bay red horse, busy and busy. After the "One-Soviet Conference", more than a dozen ministers appeared in Ruijin at once.These ministers had never engaged in government work, and they came to Liang Baitai when they encountered problems, and Liang Baitai became an adviser to various ministries.He Shuheng was the one who came to find the most. He used to do party affairs, and suddenly became the chairman of the Supreme Court of the Chinese Soviet. He encountered some cases almost every day.Judging a case is not like other things. If a big problem is not done well, it will kill someone. If a small problem is not done well, it will also intensify conflicts, so we must be cautious.

Many people filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court, saying that Liu Kai was putting on airs and that bureaucracy was particularly serious.Liu Kai was the head of the General Office of the Central Government at the time. He was highly educated and somewhat proud of his work, which received great feedback from the masses.Xiang Ying and He Shuheng came to discuss with Liang Baitai, to figure out how to punish Liu Kai according to the law. After listening to the fact introduction, Liang Botai said: "Bureaucracy is bad, but we are still comrades. To oppose bureaucracy, it is not appropriate to use the law, and education should be used to solve it." "What kind of education method should be used?" Xiang Ying, He Shuheng asked. Liang Baitai thought for a while and said: "For example, we can use the method of 'public trial'." "Public trial, how public trial?" Xiang Ying and He Shuheng looked at each other. There are many examples of "public trials" in the Soviet Union, and Liang Baitai introduced the procedures.Xiang Ying and He Shuheng had never heard of it, but when they heard it, they thought it made sense.Xiang Ying repeatedly nodded and said yes, and said: "Okay, then let Chairman He Shuheng come to 'public trial' him!" "No, no," Liang Baitai said again: "For important cases, the chairman can appear. The chairman does not appear. This kind of "public trial" is different from a trial of a case. There is no need for the court to appear, let alone the chairman, and you can just ask someone else to go." Too strict will not work, and it will not work if it is not serious, so who should be called? !Xiang Ying discussed with He Shuheng for a long time, and decided to call Zhou Yuelin as the presiding judge.In order to show democracy, Deng Zihui was appointed as a jury.The venue for the public trial was set up outside the gate of the Supreme Court. A platform was set up on the Daping, and government officials and some members of the public were gathered together to criticize Liu Kai's shortcomings and mistakes face to face.That form is equivalent to today's congress criticism.This not only educated Liu Kai himself, but also educated everyone. "Public trial" is a novelty.On that day, everyone came to watch the excitement, and there were many people present.Zhang Wentian also came to the meeting, and at the end of the meeting, Zhang Wentian spoke.He said: "Today's public trial was held well, and the chief judge did a good job. The government has such lesbians doing women's work, but the central government has not yet. Well, our party central should also have..." Soon, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China added A women's department transferred Zhou Yuelin to serve as the minister of women.Liang Baitai and Zhou Yuelin became the famous "Minister Couple". On January 21, 1934, the "Ersu University" was held in the central auditorium of Shazhouba in Ruijin.Both Zhou Yuelin and Liang Baitai were elected as members of the Central Executive Committee.Zhou Yuelin's position is even more important. She, Mao Zedong, Xiang Ying, Zhang Guotao, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian, Bo Gu, Zhou Enlai, Qu Qiubai, Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yun, Lin Boqu and other 17 people formed the Central Presidium, which will be the highest political organ after the closing of the Executive Committee.She is the only woman on the bureau. At that time, Zhou Yuelin felt uneasy about this honor, and once suggested to Bogu that it would be more appropriate to choose Deng Yingchao as a member of the presidium in terms of political level and work ability. Bogu replied: We will come according to the number of votes. Not long after the "Second Soviet University", Chairman Mao talked to Zhou Yuelin, and asked her to serve as the director of the newly established National Hospital in the Central Soviet Area. Since Zhou Yuelin and his wife entered the Central Soviet Area, they went straight to Yeping Village, Ruijin, the seat of the Chinese Soviet government, to report for duty, and initially lived in Xie's Ancestral Hall.Later, because the traitors informed, the planes of the White Army bombed and strafed this area, and the temporary central government agency was transferred. They then moved to Yang's private house in Yuantaiwu, Shazhouba Village; The couple worked together with Mao Zedong and his wife in the Soviet central government agency. They have always been next-door neighbors and often meet.She and He Zizhen often visit each other and are quite familiar with each other.Once, when she was in He Zizhen's room, Mao Zedong came in with a book.Zhou Yuelin thought it was a Marxist-Leninist work.Later, He Zizhen told her that yes, Chairman Mao had watched it 5 times and was still watching it. In October 1934, the main force of the Red Army was forced to withdraw from the Central Soviet Area. People were worried about their fate, and the first thing they said when they met was often to ask whether they would stay or not.Zhou Yuelin thought: Mao Zedong is the chairman, and he will never stay.All she cares about is her own fate. When Zhou Yuelin saw Mao Zedong that day, he asked, "Chairman Mao, why are you leaving?" Mao Zedong replied, "Hey, I'm leaving." Zhou Yuelin hurriedly asked again, "Are we on the list to leave?" Chairman Mao: "Yes, both of you will go." Although the future is uncertain if you follow the main force of the Red Army, it will definitely be bad luck if you stay.Therefore, the basic choice in people's mind is: strive to go. There is a lot of reluctance to leave.Zhou Yuelin began to make preparations to leave. After returning to China, Si'er was very eager. They really gave birth to another son, who is already more than one year old. Because he was born in Shazhouba, Ruijin, he named him Shazhou.Before the Long March, the central government made a decision that children could not join the army and should be given away. With one more child, one more painful farewell.After discussion, they shed tears and gave Xiaoshazhou to a local rural women cadre. The day of departure has come——in early October, some personnel have already set off early.Zhou Yuelin also made all the preparations for the expedition. At this time, the situation changed drastically. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China suddenly decided in October that the left-behind comrades should set up a sub-bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the Central Soviet Area, an office of the Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic.The Red Army and people responsible for leading the Central Soviet Area and the adjacent Soviet Areas continued to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries.Xiang Ying served as the secretary of the Central Branch, and Chen Yi served as the director of the office.Because Chen Yi was injured and unable to walk, the central government decided to leave one more person in charge of government work. The person has not yet been determined, and Xiang Ying will choose it. Therefore, Xiang Ying will become someone's god of destiny, and after repeated consideration, this person is actually Liang Baitai.He asked Liang Baitai to stay and serve as a member of the Central Branch Bureau and deputy director of the Central Government Office.Xiang Ying approached Liang Baitai to talk about work. When she saw Zhou Yuelin, she tapped her acupoint and said, "You stay with Liang Baitai too, and do women's work in the Soviet area." "No, I still want to be with the main force of the Red Army." Let's go." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the main force of the Red Army leaves, Ruijin and the entire Central Soviet Area will soon fall.There are not many women who are easy to do. She refused to stay and went to the central government to ask for it. The weather is getting colder, the military situation is urgent, and the situation is getting worse day by day. The expedition is in full swing.Central leaders hold meetings all day long, dealing with life-and-death matters, leaving no time for other matters. Zhou Yuelin searched several times, but the venue was heavily guarded and could not find the leader.They come and go, but they encounter a series of life and death, which happen in the painful red city. The central government determined that Qu Qiubai, who was seriously ill, stayed behind to fight.Qu Qiubai knew that it would be bad luck to stay, so he asked to go with the main force of the Red Army, but Wang Ming flatly refused. Qu Qiubai was exhausted physically and mentally, and was ready to sacrifice.Xu Teli went to say goodbye, and Qu Qiubai asked his strong groom to follow Mr. Xu, and exchanged his good black horse for Mr. Xu.He Shuheng, who decided to stay, prepared sake and peanuts in Meikeng, where he lived, and invited Lin Boqu for an evening talk.It was winter and the journey was difficult, so He Shuheng took off his sweater and gave it to Lin Boqu.With a heavy heart and many thoughts, Lin Boqu wrote a poem "Biemeikeng": The common cause is still difficult, and the wine is full of bottles, and we are happy. Dare to engage in politics and law for Ye Ping, and Xinran Shaba engages in finance and economics. Going to pay attention to the mood is too heavy, and the wind and rain are looking forward to the early crowing. Give me a robe with unlimited meaning, shake hands attentively and bid farewell to Meikeng. Saying goodbye to He Shuheng, Lin Boqu said goodbye to his confinement wife.After discussing with his wife Fan Lechun, he reluctantly gave up his only 14-day-old son to be raised.Fan Lechun is a native of Yongding County, Fujian Province. He participated in the Jinsha Riot in Western Fujian in 1928. He served as Chairman of the Soviet Government of Yongding County, Minister of Land of the Soviet Government of Western Fujian Province, and Director of the Bureau of Preferential Treatment of the Red Army in the Central Soviet Area. He is a strong Communist.During the Long March of the Red Army, she returned to her hometown Yongding and led the arduous three-year guerrilla war with Deng Zihui, Zhang Dingcheng, Tan Zhenlin and others.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, she served as a member of the CCP's Western Fujian Chaomei Special Committee and Minister of Women. Due to overwork, she became ill and died in Xixi, Yongding in 1941. Zhou Yuelin went to find Mao Zedong, and Mao Zedong had already gone to Yudu first.Xie Juezai, Mao Zedong's secretary and secretary-general of the central government, was saying goodbye to his wife, Guo Xiangyu.Guo Xiangyu and Xie Juezai love each other deeply.However, Guo Xiangyu was forced to stay because her feet were bound and she was unable to move.This farewell is also an eternal farewell.Guo Xiangyu returned to his hometown and was still active in revolutionary work.Unexpectedly, he was informed and was secretly arrested by the White Army on the night of September 3, 1940.The enemy tried to pry her mouth open with all kinds of torture, but Guo Xiangyu was stubborn and would rather die than surrender.The vicious enemy was so enraged that he dug a hole in the village and buried Guo Xiangyu alive with his head down.Unfortunately, he was only 44 years old when he was martyred.When the bad news reached Yan'an, Xie Juezai missed Guo Xiangyu and looked south, unable to sleep all night.He wrote in his diary "Huanxisha?Reminiscing Comrade Guo Xiangyu: "Being steadfast and industrious, I pity Qing, so I have a blind date and go on a long journey. Yiyi stays in a horse and I am so affectionate. Only one tooth is still spurting blood, and a hundred whips can be fired without hearing a sound. Two words are like a jade for a long time." Jianguo Later, Xie Juezai successively served as Minister of Internal Affairs, President of the Supreme People's Court, and Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He died in 1971. Scenes of life and death were tear-jerking, leaving Zhou Yuelin confused and anxious.The good-tempered Liang Baitai persuaded her: "At this time, the leader is even more miserable. Forget it, just stay." With the final word, Zhou Yuelin's tragedy began.
