Hu Can, Whampoa Military Academy Phase III student, the first secretary of the Jiangxi Xingguo County Committee of the Communist Party of China. He lives in a shabby room and has a heart for the world. The three characters "also live" not only demonstrate the arduous and simple feelings of the Communists, but also reflect the lofty revolutionary optimism spirit of the Communists.
Hu Can’s Old Residence
In the old revolutionary base of Xingguo , there is a special house called "Also Residence", which is the private residence of Hu Can, the first secretary of the Xingguo County Committee of the Communist Party of China. "Also House" not only has a weird name, but the house is also extremely simple, but only three adobe houses. However, these three shabby rooms showed the noble integrity of a communist.
Hu Can was born in a poor family of umbrella workers in Xingguo in 1895. In 1924, he was admitted to the Third Infantry Division of Huangpu Military Academy and joined the Communist Party of China in the spring of the following year. At that time, Hu Can's family cousin Hu Qian served as Deputy Chief of the Military and Political Department in Sun Yat-sen's Generalissimo's Mansion. If Hu Can wants to get promoted, this is a very rare way. However, Hu Can dismissed this approach.
One day, Hu Qian sent someone to find Hu Can, and after some greetings, he said to him that he wanted to build a house near the Hu Family Ancestral Hall, but there was a piece of Hu Can’s homestead there. If Hu Can persuades his father to sell the homestead, Hu Qian would like to exchange it with the hotel on West Street.
Hu Qian’s conditions were generous, but Hu Can’s father had clearly stated that he refused to sell the homestead. Hu Can also considered that he had different beliefs from Hu Qian and did not follow the same path, so he demanded Hu Qian Flatly refused. Later, after repeated entanglements, Hu Qian had to reduce the scale and built a beautiful small western-style building next to the Hu Family Shrine. He also titled it "Yiyangxuan", which means the year of life.
In March 1925, Hu Can enrolled in the vanguard of the Huangpu Student Army to fight against the rebel Chen Jiongming. Unfortunately, he was wounded in the Battle of Huizhou. The following year Hu Can returned to Xingguo to recover from his injuries. He built a house with an injury allowance, just across from Yiyangxuan. There are only three houses with earthen walls and tile roofs, which are very simple. Hu Can doesn't think that these three houses are inferior to others. The title of the house "Also Residence" on the door lintel has the meaning of tit-for-tat opposition to Yiyangxuan.
In April 1929, Mao Zedong led the Red Army to Xingguo and guided Xingguo to establish a Revolutionary Committee. Hu Can was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs. In June, the Kuomintang Zhang Yuren troops invaded Xingguo, and Hu Can led the guerrillas to fight. In July, he led his troops to kill a regiment of the enemy army, including as many as 30 people, including its commander. The enemy turned into anger, publicly offering a reward to capture Hu Can, and setting fire to Hu Can's house.
After learning that the enemy had burned "Also House", Hu Can wrote a letter to comfort his wife. There was a poem in it: "It doesn't matter if the house is burned, just ask people for money. Communism is to be realized, and class hatred will always be remembered. "The three simple houses not only reflect the simplicity and frugality of the Communists, but also the revolutionary optimism of the Communists.
After Hu Can led the crowd to regain the county seat, he rebuilt the house that was burned down by the enemy. After Hu Can's sacrifice in 1932, the folks of Xingguo kept this "Also Residence" as a witness to the history.
