In 1949, shortly after Hunan was liberated, a peasant woman named Zhu Yinmei came to the gate of the county government. She claimed that she wanted to find county party secretary Qi Shouliang. After the notice, Zhu Yinmei met the county party secretary Qi Shouliang, and then Zhu Yinmei handed over one pound and two taels of gold to Qi Shouliang.
At that time, Qi Shouliang was very puzzled, but after asking, he learned that the woman in front of him was actually the wife of Tu Zhengkun, director of the Pingjiang Communications Department of the New Fourth Army, and this gold was the funding of the Pingjiang Communications Department of the Pingjiang Communications Department of the year.
Tu Zhengkun is from Pingjiang, Hunan. He has been a very righteous person since he was a child. During the autumn harvest uprising in that year, Tu Zhengkun led the local peasant armed forces to actively participate. Later, after the failure of the Jinping Uprising, Tu Zhengkun led his troops into the mountains and engaged in guerrilla war with the reactionaries .
In July 1928, when Peng Dehuai revolted in Pingjiang, Tu Zhengkun led the guerrillas to support him. Later, Tu Zhengkun participated in the establishment of the Red Fifth Army, and he served as secretary of the Pingjiang County Party Committee and Minister of Finance of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Soviet Government. After the main force of the Red Army, the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border area entered the most difficult three-year guerrilla warfare period, Tu Zhengkun and the new provincial party secretary Fu Qiutao struggled to support the situation. After the July 7 Lugou Bridge Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated again, and the Red Army guerrillas in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi were adapted into the First Regiment of the First Detachment of the New Fourth Army. Under the leadership of Fu Qiutao, he went to the front line of anti-Japanese war in Jiangnan. Subsequently, the superiors established the Pingjiang Communications Office of the New Fourth Army, with Tu Zhengkun as the director of the Communications Office.
Because Tu Zhengkun actively promoted our party’s anti-Japanese propositions and progressive ideas in the communications office, this behavior caused panic among the reactionaries. So Yang Sen joined forces with the reactionaries in Pingjiang area to plan to secretly kill Tu Zhengkun. On June 12, 1939, the spy lied that he asked Tu Zhengkun to the district office for a meeting, but Tu Zhengkun was shot by a spy who had ambushed in advance and died heroically at the age of 42.
After Tu Zhengkun was killed, his wife Zhu Yinmei and son Tu Mingtao survived under the cover of the villagers. In order to avoid the pursuit, Zhu Yinmei hid in the mountains with her son and Huang Jin, and lived a bumpy and displaced life. She was also arrested and imprisoned during this period.
It was not until July 1949, after the liberation of Pingjiang, that Zhu Yinmei and his son were picked up from the mountains by their relatives, and then the scene of handing over gold in the previous article was followed.
