The first female Communist Party member in Gansu, Qin Yizhen
Qin Yizhen, also known as Yizhen and Yizhen. Born in 1889 in a poor boatman's family in Qinjiabang, Shibao Town, Zhong County, Chongqing. Before giving birth to her, the whole family lived on that small boat. My father and brother drove on a boat to and from Yangtze River between Chongqing and Hankou , and used their lives to transport goods to others in exchange for meager hard-working money. Even this will not solve the problem of food and clothing for the whole family. To make matters worse, my father suffered from lung disease due to long-term malnutrition and overwork, and eventually died of no money for treatment. My mother took the 7-year-old Qin Yizhen and her brother to Kuizhou (now Fengjie County, Chongqing). In two years, her mother and brother died of illness one after another. In order to bury her mother and brother, Qin Yizhen borrowed money from the local tycoon, and she was arrested as someone else's child bride. Later, she relied on her father's kind boatman friends to rescue her, and she took the opportunity to escape from the devil's claws.
1901, 12-year-old Qin Yizhen wandered to Hankou, Hubei. Zhong Fantang and his wife who opened a pharmacy saw that she was pitiful, took Qin Yizhen in and recognized her as their adopted daughter. From then on, Qin Yizhen helped do odd jobs in the pharmacy. The suffering life experience has created Qin Yizhen's character of hard work, keeping promises, understanding, and clear distinction between love and hate. Everyone in the store likes this kind girl, and the smart Qin Yizhen also learned a lot of skills in running a pharmacy with her adoptive father. Among the clerks, there is a young man from Zhejiang named Du Qiaokang. He is serious and down-to-earth in his work, honest and kind-hearted. The two of them work together, and they have a good impression of each other and gradually develop feelings for each other. When Qin Yizhen was 16 years old, Zhong Fantang and his wife took charge and married her to Du Kaikang. In order to thank the foster father and family for their kindness, the couple worked hard to manage the pharmacy and became the capable general of the foster father Zhong Fantang.
Qin Yizhen in the elderly
In 1910, Zhong Fantang saw that his adopted daughter and son-in-law were so capable, so he sent Qin Yizhen and his wife to Lanzhou, Gansu, northwest to prepare for a branch. After arrived in Lanzhou, they rented three shops in "Xingwenshe" at No. 69 Daosheng Lane to open " Lanzhou Chinese and Foreign Pharmacy ". The pharmacies sold in the pharmacy are complete, and various Western medicines that can only be bought in big cities are also for sale. Husband Du Qiaokang is good at management, and the shrewd and capable Qin Yizhen is responsible for purchasing and dealing with the outside world. The couple is honest and kind, and the pharmacy business is booming. More than a decade later, the "Lanzhou Chinese and Foreign Pharmacy" is well-known, and many pharmacy owners from the northwest region come to their store to purchase goods. Boss Du and Mrs. Du have become local celebrities, especially Mrs. Du, who has a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament, is even more eye-catching. Qin Yizhen and his wife, who have already lived a wealthy life, are not satisfied with their own food and clothing. The couple who have experienced hardships are also thinking about how to change the fate of the working people in the world?
In October 1925, Feng Yuxiang 's Second Division of the National Army Liu Yufen came to Lanzhou, Gansu. In the army, there were Xuan Xiafu and Qian Rongquan and other Communists appointed by Li Dazhao. They and the Communist Party members of Lanzhou Yuzhong Zhang Yiwu formed the first party organization in Gansu Province - the Gansu Special Branch of the Communist Party of China. They carried out revolutionary propaganda work in Lanzhou. By listening to the speeches of these Communists, Qin Yizhen learned that poor people could change their destiny through revolution. Later, after getting to know them, I learned that Qian Songquan and her husband Du Qiaokang were both fellow villagers in Jiangnan, and their relationship was even closer. Inspired by the education of Qian Songquan and others, Qin Yizhen and his wife embarked on the road of revolution. In the spring of 1926, introduced by Qian Songquan and Wang Tao, Qin Yizhen joined the Communist Party of China and became the first female Communist Party member in Gansu. From then on, Qin Yizhen devoted himself to the revolutionary cause and regarded the home at No. 65 Daosheng Lane as a secret activity base and an important contact point for the Gansu Special Branch.
Under the leadership of the special branch, Qin Yizhen, as the female boss of a large pharmacy in Lanzhou, took advantage of the convenience of negotiating business and purchasing drugs to engage in transportation and logistics support. Many important meetings of the special branch were held at their homes, and the underground party links and exchange of information were also completed at home behind the pharmacy. Qin Yizhen personally stood at the counter to sell medicines and stood guard for the comrades.She has undertaken and successfully completed tasks such as personnel contact, vigilance, information transmission, and logistics procurement on many occasions.

In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei successively launched counter-revolutionary movements against cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In June, Feng Yuxiang also announced that "gifts" for Communist Party members to be released, and Qian Rongquan, Xuan Xiafu and others were expelled. The Gansu Special Branch was then suppressed by the Kuomintang reactionaries. Secretary Zhang Yiwu held an emergency meeting at Mani Temple in Wuquan Mountain to arrange for the exposed Communist Party members to evacuate and the safe Party members to work underground. Qin Yizhen was also in the ranks of retreat. She quickly burned relevant documents, photos and revolutionary books and magazines, entrusted the pharmacy to her husband, and brought her funds and gold and silver jewelry to prepare to evacuate. On November 23, Qin Yizhen left Lanzhou for Shaanxi with more than 30 comrades including Zhang Yiwu and Wang Tao who disguised as Hubei merchants in the name of purchasing medicines. On the way, I encountered investigations by the Kuomintang military and police many times. Every time, Qin Yizhen came forward to deal with him or took out money and bribes to evacuate to Xi'an without any danger.
At the end of 1927, the organization sent Qin Yizhen and other party members to Shanghai to prepare to join Qianlongquan, which arrived in advance, and carry out revolutionary work in the south. In early 1928, when they arrived in Shanghai after great hardships, they learned that Qian Songquan was arrested a few days ago. It turned out that Qian Rongquan organized and led two Jiangyin peasant uprisings in his hometown at the end of 1927, and won the victory and formed the Jiangyin Red Army. In order to arm the Red Army in , he ventured to Shanghai to purchase guns. He was found by a police officer at Zhabei Station and was arrested for "buying arms". Qin Yizhen learned from many sources that Qian Kouquan refused to admit his crime and the case has not been reported yet. So he took out all the funds for purchasing medicines, pawned the gold and silver jewelry he brought, spent a lot of money to bribe the police station, and rescued Qian Luquan. After Qian Liangquan was released from prison, he had the pseudonym Gao Dapeng and served as the secretary of the Jiangyin County Party Committee and continued to lead the Jiangyin peasant uprising. Qin Yizhen set up her former residence in Shanghai, No. 8, Yongxiang Xili, Hongkou District, as the Jiangyin Farmers' Movement Liaison Station in Shanghai, and continued to engage in underground work of collecting intelligence, exchanging information, and purchasing materials as a female boss of a large pharmacy in Lanzhou.

Although Qin Yizhen has never been to school, she is very smart. She will remember the location, terrain characteristics and house number of each contact point as long as she has been there once. She is clever and calm and decisive when encountering things. She can speak dialects of Chongqing, Wuhan, Shanghai and the northwest. She uses various social relations to successfully complete the tasks assigned to her by the party many times. The residence at No. 8, Yongxiang Xili, Hongkou District has also been elected by the party organization as the site for holding important meetings many times. During the meeting, she stood guard for her comrades as she did when she was in Lanzhou to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting.
Due to the betrayal of the traitors, the peasant uprising in Jiangyin eventually failed, and the Kuomintang reactionaries searched everywhere for Qian Luquan and other uprising backbones. When Qian Rongquan escaped from Jiangyin returned to Shanghai, he hid in the reed marsh for more than ten days. Due to the bites of lees and mosquitoes, his whole body was covered with festering blisters. Qin Yizhen treated his own brother, scrubbing his wounds and changing his dressings every day. Under Qin Yizhen's careful care, Qian Rongquan quickly recovered and entered a new battle, and once again organized and led the peasant armed uprising in 14 counties along Shanghai and Ningxia. On October 18, 1928, Qian Rongquan was arrested again while waiting for a meeting of comrades at the Dacheng Hotel in Changzhou. This time, the enemy had long known that what they had captured was Gao Dapeng, the commander of the Jiangyin Red Army. So there is no possibility of spending money to rescue.
Qian Luquan Martyr
Qin Yizhen, as her sister, bought delicious food and new clothes to visit Qian Luquan in prison. Looking at Qian Liangquan's wounds being tortured by torture, her heart was as squeezing as a knife and tears fell like rain. Qian Liangquan comforted him, "Sister , don't be sad, don't be afraid! There will always be sacrifices in the revolution. Please take care of me. ." After Qin Yizhen returned to Shanghai, she reported Qian Liangquan's situation to the party organization. The party organization decided to rescue Qian Rongquan at the Jiangyin execution ground.On November 25, Qin Yizhen and more than 60 comrades rushed to the execution ground to rescue Qian Liangquan, but the enemy killed Qian Liangquan in advance. Qin Yizhen accompanied Qian Songquan's sister and brother-in-law to handle his funeral.
When cleaning up the relics of martyr Qian Longquan, they found his will in Qian Longquan's quilt. Qin Yizhen mentioned twice in the will, expressing his love and gratitude for Qin Yizhen. The will read: "HTM6 is working hard for the Chinese revolution, and has been traveling north and south for many years, no time or rest, no production, and no family. The mother is blind, and the wife is divorced in the middle, without children, and has no seeds and heirs. Now that we are alone, we will also sacrifice for the revolution. When the revolution reaches this point, we can also ask ourselves for our own shame, but why are our honors? All my family and relatives should not be sad about my death, and we should call the revolutionary slogan with me... Yizhen loves his friend, don’t be sad if I die, I will protect you well and do good deeds to my mother...”
martyr Qian Longquan’s suicide note
The martyr’s last worry was his mother. After Qin Yizhen treasured this will, he took out his 300 silver dollars to pay the martyr’s mother. In the winter of 1929, Qin Yizhen once again visited Qian Chunquan's home to visit the martyr's mother and once again provided financial support. In the autumn of 1934, Qin Yizhen returned to Lanzhou. Before leaving, she handed over the will of Qian Liangquan to his classmate and comrade-in-arms Dai Pengtian, and said: " Yizhen assisted Qian Liangquan to work as a supporter of the Communist Party; cried Qian Liangquan to cry for the party and lose talents; in the past, she transferred money to help the party, and was also for the party. ." Later, Dai Pengtian handed the will to Qian Liangquan's student and comrade-in-arms Comrade Guan Wenmo. After liberation, Guan Wenmo, who served as vice governor of Jiangsu Province, handed Qian Songquan's will to the Nanjing Museum for permanent preservation as a revolutionary cultural relic. After dealing with Qian Liangquan's funeral, Qin Yizhen continued to serve as an underground traffic officer.
In January 1931, more than 30 party members including He Mengxiong , Lin Yunan, etc. were arrested. Qin Yizhen sold gold, silver and jewelry to rescue him, but many comrades were still killed by the enemy. She generously donated hundreds of silver dollars to pay the martyrs' families. In the Battle of Shanghai in 1932, Qin Yizhen donated all his family funds and raised a large number of anti-Japanese soldiers who supported the 19th Route Army. During this period, the secret contact point she was in charge of Desheng Leather Shoe Store was bombed and burned by Japanese planes, and she moved to No. 23 Changfengli, Tongfu Road to continue working for the party. Due to years of running around and hard life, her blood cellulose relapsed and she almost died of illness. In the autumn of 1934, Qin Yizhen, whose condition had improved slightly, ended the 7-year arduous battle in Shanghai and set off for Lanzhou with the approval of the party organization. When she passed by Xi'an, she took a batch of medicinal materials from the "Lao Deji" pharmacy to collect a batch of medicinal materials back to Lanzhou. While continuing to operate the Lanzhou Chinese and Foreign Pharmacy, she tried every means to contact the party organization.
The former site of the Eighth Route Army Office in Lanzhou
" Xi'an Incident ", the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated again, and the Party Central Committee established the Eighth Route Army Office in Lanzhou , referred to as the "Eighth Office" for short. Qin Yizhen fully assisted the "Eight Office" in actively carrying out reception, service, security and other work. When many important cadres of our party came and went to the Soviet Union, they would rest in the "Eight Office" when they passed by Lanzhou. Most of their lives were arranged by Qin Yizhen, and most of the medicines needed were also supplied by Lanzhou Chinese and foreign pharmacies. In the winter of 1938, when Liu Yalou and Yang Zhicheng of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University went to the Soviet Union to pass Lanzhou, they were sick and needed medicine in urgent need of medicine. Qin Yizhen immediately took medicine from the pharmacy without saying a word. Xie Hong, the daughter of the party representative of Xie Juezai of the "Eighth Office", once had a high fever that did not subside. Fortunately, Zhang Yiwu prescribed the prescription, and Qin Yizhen provided the medicine to turn the danger into safety. Many comrades from the south, when they first came to the northwest, would get sick because of their unacceptable environment. In order to help them recover from their health as soon as possible, Qin Yizhen would personally buy rice, vegetables, meat, and make delicious food for them to eat. Many young comrades affectionately called her " Qin Mama ".
In December 1937, the Japanese invaders occupied Jinan City and Zhang Yiwu, who had been imprisoned in Jinan Prison for more than five years, escaped from the demon cave while in the chaos. In 1938, Zhang Yiwu returned to Lanzhou. With the approval of the Gansu Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, he contacted Qin Yizhen in a single line.In the name of hiring a tutor for his child, Qin Yizhen asked Zhang Yiwu to live in his home at No. 70 Xiyuan Street, and applied for his household registration, took care of his life, and helped him continue to engage in revolutionary activities. Between 1939 and 1948, Zhang Yiwu was always a "criminal" pursued and wanted by the Kuomintang reactionaries. In order to ensure Zhang Yiwu's safety, Qin Yizhen often changed her residence. She always personally investigated the surrounding environment and personnel situation in advance, and made safety arrangements in advance before letting Zhang Yiwu move. Therefore, although Zhang Yiwu has experienced many threats and his life is extremely critical, he has been safe and sound under the careful protection and care of Qin Yizhen, so he has formed a deep revolutionary friendship with his comrade Zhang Yiwu. Qin Yizhen's spirit of ignoring his own life and devoting his family and devoting his business to the revolutionary cause won the respect of everyone.
