Wuzhou’s historical evolution, human geography, and legends craze in front of the eyes; the history of China since modern times has ups and downs in the drama of "world trend, mighty, those who follow prosper, and those who oppose perish". The events of the past, the people who renewed their lives and smashed into the sand, ascended the heights and shouted, the world gathered to respond, the new era of winning food and scenery, the second unfolding frame after frame...
Wuzhou, Wuhua Tianbao, The land of outstanding people, , Xunjiang, Guijiang, and Xijiang have been known as the "Sanjiang Confluence" since ancient times. As the east gate of Guangxi, a river of rivers in Jiangxi flows east from here, nourishing the land of and southern Guangdong . It is said that the origins of Cantonese, Cantonese cuisine and Lingnan culture have a certain relationship with Wuzhou. Wuzhou is known as "Ancient County of Thousand Years, Commercial Port of 100 Years, and Water Capital of Green City". Many firsts have been left in history. For example, the "Lingnan Provincial Government" of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history, Ming Dynasty The first Governor's Mansion, Zongbing's Mansion and Zongzheng's "Three General Mansion", the first Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, etc., there are also many historical sites such as Dragon Mother Temple, Qilou Street, Jinlong Lane, etc." Liubao Tea " and "Double Money Guiling Paste" are also famous. One side feeds the other people, and the other side leads the other people. Wuzhou’s profound historical and cultural heritage gave birth to Buddhist scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Guangxi’s earliest study of Buddhism Mouzi, famous generals Yuan Chonghuan in the late Ming Dynasty, and the first railway minister in the late Qing Dynasty. Guan Mianjun, famous democratic revolutionist Li Jishen, one of the three masters of contemporary Chinese martial arts novels Liang Yusheng, etc. Mr. Li Jishen and Li Zongren, Cheng Siyuan, Liang Shuming , Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, etc. in Guangxi since modern times, formed the most famous historical figures in the Gui family.
Since modern times, the Qing dynasty has been declining day by day, and incidents of bereavement, humiliation, and cede of land have occurred continuously. Facing the strong and aggressive ships of the Western powers, there is a tendency to encroach on China, dedicated to saving the country and the people, or facing the West, "learning from the West" and "learning from the barbarians to control barbarians." Or reenter the ivory tower, find a way to save the world from the arsenal of traditional Chinese thought. For a time, it can be said that the old and the new are mixed, and the differences are confounded. Under the background of this era, young talents are not only very active in their thinking, but also have more opportunities and platforms to display their talents than ever before. It doesn’t matter if you go straight to the law of historical development, whether the sword goes slant, or even becomes a stumbling block to history, whether you go all the way, or return to the original point, or even go the other way, it’s part of that period of history. Is it all that period of history or is it an experience or a part of a lesson.

Mr. Li Jishen,Zi Ren Chao was born in November 1885 in a scholarly family home in Liushen Village, Dapo Township, Cangwu County. He died in 1959 at the age of 74. In the Kuomintang, he served as the commander of the National Revolutionary Army Iron Army, Whampoa Military Academy vice president, army general and other important positions. He is one of the representatives and veterans of the military power. The best student". After the founding of New China, he served as the vice chairman of the Central People's Government, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference , and chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee. In November 1985, in his speech at the commemoration meeting to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Li Jishen, Comrade Yang Shangkun commented that Mr. Li Jishen was "a famous democratic revolutionist, a respectable patriot, and the founder and outstanding leader of the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee." He is also an old friend who has cooperated with our party for a long time. He has made important contributions to the democratic revolution, the establishment of New China, and the cause of socialism. He is worthy of our memory forever." There are eight big characters: "Democracy sets an example, and the evening festival is windy." It can be said that Mr. Li Jishen is windy in the evening festival. "The evening festival is windy" is Comrade Lin Boqu's evaluation of Mr. Li Jishen. Mr. Li Jishen's feast is not inseparable from the mind and deeds of his youth and adulthood. It is said that when he was 15 years old, a fortune teller surnamed Ma said that there was wealth in Li Ming. Mr. Li Jishen’s former residence recorded a poem with five words to express his aspirations: "The old man knows the fate of heaven, saying that I am precious. But if I make my country, why should I be a prince." After he was young, Mr. Li Jishen left home and went to the Baoding Military Academy. learning. In 1938, in the struggle for the anti-Japanese and national salvation, he wrote a poem and wrote: "The wind is going to and Yongning, to ask for the Yuan Rong power. The state affairs of the family, the size of the family may be common people."
Mr. Li Jishen In his early years, he participated in the Revolution of 1911, opposed imperialism and feudalism, supported Mr. Sun Yat-sen's "three major policies", and followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen's commitment to the National Revolution. During the Northern Expedition , the National Revolutionary Army was in charge of the military and political power of Guangdong and Guangxi. Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup and carried out the "Qing Party". As a member of the Kuomintang, Li Jishen was also in the toilet, which became his experience of "deeply guilty". When the Kuomintang gained state power and completely betrayed Mr. Sun Yat-sen and perversed, the relationship between Mr. Li Jishen and Chiang Kai-shek broke down, parted ways, and actively participated in the patriotic democratic movement and the War of Resistance Against Japan. After learning from the painful experience, perhaps it was this experience that made him even more cherish the cooperation and close friendship with the Communist Party of China and the Communists. "Pour peace of mind to the peace formation and build a prosperous future", which Comrade Mao Zedong called "we are all old friends and we all know each other."
After the break with the Kuomintang reactionary forces, Mr. Li Jishen actively supported the 19th Route Army’s Songhu resistance, and jointly initiated the anti-Jiangsu and democrats within the Kuomintang to launch Fujian Incident and signed the "Anti-Japanese and Anti-Chiang" The “Preliminary Agreement” supported the peaceful settlement of by the CCP and the establishment of the anti-Japanese national united front . It advocates that the leftist forces of the United Nations Democratic Party set up the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, which constantly demonstrates the “good wind”, and is just and upright. , Respected by patriots. As he recalled in his "Opinions on the Current Situation" published in March 1947: "I am a member of the Chinese Kuomintang. Our Kuomintang has been in power for 20 years. This has brought the country to this point. Of course, our party has to bear the same burden. Responsibility. It stands to reason that we should self-examine, apologize to our compatriots across the country, and truly return politics to the people. Originally, the Chinese Kuomintang was a revolutionary political party. The Three People's Principles left by Premier Sun was founded on democratic principles. National salvationism, but since the reign of the Republic of China in 17 years, all this has been forgotten or abandoned. Since then, our Kuomintang has gradually been isolated from the people and gradually enveloped in an atmosphere of dictatorship, so the revolutionary spirit is completely lost. Serve the people, and enslaved the people. There is really no democratic atmosphere in the party.” “Every party member who believes in the legacy of the Prime Minister should also rise up unceremoniously and correct the wrong policies of the reactionaries in the party, and should not passively let it go. Wrong to the end,Mistaking the party and the country will lead to the destruction of the commonwealth.
From the end of Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, from the chaos and the beginning of the Republic of China, from the chaos of you to sing me on stage, the party fights constantly, to the distinct camps of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the formation of an anti-Japanese national united front, and then to the east of Wanshui, defeating Chiang Kai-shek and liberating the whole of China, with Mr. Li Jishen. Through the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the New China, and through the three different historical stages of the old democratic revolution, the new democratic revolution, the socialist revolution and the construction, we have gone through a short-term twists and turns in the continuous progress, which is the same as that of China. From strangers and two camps, the Communist Party finally got a glorious home on the road of supporting each other, like-minded friends and comrades. Therefore, on May 5, 1948, Mr. Li Jishen, who was far away in Hong Kong, led the democratic parties. Calling Comrade Mao Zedong, he expressed his full support for the slogan of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China "to quickly convene a political consultative meeting to discuss and realize the convening of the people's congress and the establishment of a democratic coalition government." , The original purpose of You Fu Tongren, etc., wins over Qin Qi. "On the cargo ship going north from Hong Kong to the Liberated Area, Mr. Li Jishen wrote a 1949 New Year's speech: "We will help each other in the same boat, with one heart and one mind." For a major event. A major event for participating in the joint establishment of an independent, democratic, peaceful, unified, and happy new China. Together in the same boat. congratulations. Wholeheartedly. Come to do a big thing. Go forward, go forward. work hard. "After the National Day in October 1959, Mr. Li Jishen wrote the last poem of his life, "Writing Xing after the National Day": "Ten years of national day and 10,000 years of red, Henglu glorious forever. I am here with the whole people's ambition, and I want to see Kyushu together. "Speaking is the voice of your heart, and your actions are expressions. With poetry and actions, Mr. Li Jishen expressed his determination and confidence to "strive to build a new China of national independence, democracy and freedom, and a happy people's livelihood".
visit Li Jishen’s former residence, browse the exhibits, read the inscription and the recorded poems by Mr. Li Jishen, "Walk away and walk in Lanzhu, feel nostalgic for the ancients. "The feeling is that: the life of Mr. Li Jishen can be said to be a microcosm of 's modern Chinese history; the path that Mr. Li Jishen has walked can be said to be one of the people with lofty ideals and the old generation of leaders of the democratic parties in modern China. Paradigm.A drop of water and a stream, together, can become the Yellow River and the Yangtze River that are rushing towards the sea; one person's struggle, one person's ambition, together around the Communist Party of China, can become a majestic strength and a realistic achievement. Keeping the present and observing the past, keeping calm and observing the movement, and knowing that "not forgetting the original intention of cooperation, continue to move forward hand in hand" is a summary of the historical experience and good words of the older generation of leaders of the democratic parties.
