"The flame of our hearts is burning fiercely/ Our rapid blood is jumping excitedly/up/work/work/grey fog is filling the sky..." This is 1929, in the face of the booming peasant movement, An Zhe, the first secretary of the CPC Rizhao County Party Committee, was full of pride Written splendid poems. This passionate and high-spirited poem seems to bring us back to the glorious years of burning passion. In 1906, An Zhe was born into a wealthy family in Anjia Village, two towns in Rizhao. In the spring of 1921, An Zhe was admitted to Jinan Provincial No. 1 Middle School. In August 1925, under the advocacy of Deng Enming and Ding Junyang, together with Zheng Tianjiu, Chen Lei (Mu Chunting) and other Rizhao students, he established the party's peripheral organization "Juvenile Rizhao Society". They gather together regularly to study Marxism-Leninism , discuss current affairs and politics, and actively participate in revolutionary activities. In the spring of 1926, after being introduced by Ding Junyang, he joined the Communist Party of China. In February 1928, according to the instructions of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, An Zhe was sent to Rizhao County to be responsible for the preparation of local party organizations. An Zhe risked his life to return to his home in Anjia Village, Liangcheng, and secretly connected with Chen Lei and Zheng Tianjiu, who had returned earlier, to jointly study matters related to the establishment of a party organization. Thanks to their hard work, in the spring of 1928, the Rizhao County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, directly under the leadership of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. It was the first county-level party organization in Yimeng area. . This is the first county party committee rooted in the Rizhao area. Since then, Anzhe has not only been responsible for the leadership of the county's revolutionary work, but also in charge of carrying out party activities in the two cities north of Rizhao City, Yujia Village and Wangjiatan with Anjia Village as the center.Using his identity as a primary school teacher as a cover, he used various occasions to secretly explain revolutionary principles to the poor people, publicize progressive ideas, recruit new party members, and establish party organizations. On October 13, 1932, An Zhe and others led the Rizhao riot. An Zhe served as the commander-in-chief. The uprising team he led confiscated guns and ammunition from more than 20 villages, burned land deeds, opened warehouses and released food, and provided relief to villagers. The riot lasted for 13 days, and after more than 30 battles, it finally failed due to the disparity between the enemy and the enemy. This was a peasant armed uprising organized and launched directly by the Communist Party of China. It was the largest and longest peasant armed uprising in Shandong Province at that time. Later, An Zhe moved to Dalian and continued to carry out revolutionary activities.

1933 On June 23, An Zhe was arrested and jailed for betrayal by a traitor. An Zhe, who was in prison, was tortured but did not lose heart. Instead, he turned his firm belief in communism into a light that led to the light in the dark, and led the inmates to fight with each other. Prison authorities wage a life-and-death struggle. In the winter of 1934, An Zhe, who was only 28 years old, died in Shenyang Prison.

The artillery fire of the Rizhao riot has disappeared under the rut of history, and the revolutionary martyrs have exchanged their fiery blood for the peace and peace of the country. History is eternal because of memory, and spirit is immortal because of inheritance. We must cherish the memory of the revolutionary martyrs' historical merits, learn and carry forward their lofty spirit of unswerving determination to revitalize China, stick to the original mission, follow the red footprint, and continue to struggle and forge ahead.
