Preface
1840, Britain used strong ships and guns to open the door to China. From then on, the old China, which was closed to the country, began a miserable life in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and countless progressive patriotic young people began to embark on a path of saving the nation.
Chairman Mao once set the character of the revolution, saying that it was riot:
"The revolution is not to treat guests to dinner, not to make articles, not to paint and embroidery, not to be so elegant, calm, gentle, respectful, frugal. Revolution is a riot, a violent action of a class to overthrow a class. Rural revolution is a revolution in the peasant class overthrowing the power of the feudal landlord class . If the peasants do not use great power, they must never overthrow the deep-rooted landlord power for thousands of years."
This means that the revolution must mean bloodshed and sacrifice . Since the Opium War , people have already paid their precious lives to achieve national independence and people's liberation. Countless patriotic patriots have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. For the sake of their ideals and beliefs in their hearts, they have embarked on this great and sacred journey one after another. This is especially true for the revolutionary groups led by the Communist Party of China. Especially in the early days, they faced not only the "encirclement and suppression" of foreign invaders, but also the "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and even the variables brought about by the internal rebellion and revolution of some of their own people.
1927 Chiang Kai-shek suddenly betrayed the revolution and launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup. A large number of Communists and progressive young people were brutally killed. The first great revolution ended with failure. The domestic revolution fell into a depression, and the whole country was shrouded in serious white terror.
It is in this context that Luo Yinong, the early leader of the Communist Party of China, was brutally killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries because he was betrayed by a traitor and unfortunately died. At that time, after learning the news, Zhou Enlai was very sad and angry. He buried his face in the basin and cried while washing his face, using this method to hide his grief.
Who is Luo Yinong? How important is he to the revolution of the Communist Party of China? Why did his sacrifice make Zhou Enlai so sad? Who is the traitor?
Luo Yinong: the warmest leader and the bravest soldier
Luo Yinong was born in Xiangtan, Hunan. When he was 14 years old, he was seriously warned by the school for participating in the fight to destroy Japanese goods, which made him angrily drop out of school.
1919, he left his hometown to Shanghai. During this period, the " New Youth " founded by Chen Duxiu had a great ideological shock to him. He began to come into contact with progressive new ideas and Marxist ideas, and also interacted with Chen Duxiu. Later, Chen Duxiu introduced that Luo Yinong became the first member of the Chinese Socialist Youth League.
1921, the party organization selected a group of outstanding young people to study at the Moscow Oriental Labor University in the Soviet Union, and Luo Yinong was among them. During his study in the Soviet Union, Luo Yinong became more determined in his ideals and beliefs. He was not only enthusiastic about helping others and doing ideological work for everyone, but also became the head of the Chinese class here. It was under his influence and introduction that many people joined the Communist Party of China. has attracted a large number of outstanding and progressive young people to our party and has grown into an important backbone member of our party.
1925, the domestic and international situation had undergone profound changes. Based on the actual situation, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to let Luo Yinong and others return to China to join the work. After returning to China, Luo Yinong plunged into the surging torrent of the workers' movement. This year, he went to Guangzhou to prepare for the Second National Labor Conference. After the meeting, he stayed in Guangzhou and served as the Propaganda Minister of the Guangdong District Committee of the Communist Party of China.
At the turn of spring and summer in 1925, warlord Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan launched a rebellion. For this reason, Luo Yinong and Chen Yannian and others held many meetings to discuss countermeasures, and established a temporary propaganda committee to actively speak out.
During the Hong Kong general strike, Luo Yinong always stood at the forefront of the battle, inspiring the fighting spirit of the workers and promoting the spirit of the struggle. In addition to ideological encouragement, he also assisted the strike committee and helped more than 200,000 Hong Kong strike workers have food and accommodation issues after entering Guangzhou.These practical actions have established a deep relationship between Luo Yinong and the working group, and also made him realize the importance of promoting progressive ideas and Marxism to the working group. So he began to actively publicize the Communist Party's philosophy, calling on the workers to unite, resist oppression and exploit their capitalists, and launch an active struggle for their vital interests.
11, Luo Yinong was ordered to work at the Northern District Party School. In the end, due to the influence of many factors such as the political environment, the Party School died after not being able to run it for long. Despite this, he still trained a group of outstanding cadres for our party.
At that time, Luo Yinong had realized that it was impossible for the revolution to succeed by relying on to engage in propaganda alone. Based on this, he proposed the importance of armed forces.
1926, the revolutionary enthusiasm in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was low. In order to break this situation, the central government decided to hold an armed uprising in Shanghai, with Luo Yinong taking charge. After coming to Shanghai, he first contacted the trade union in Shanghai, but the time was not yet ripe. The two Shanghai workers' uprisings launched in October of the year and February of the following year came to an end in failure.
1, 1927, Luo Yinong, Zhou Enlai and Zhao Shiyan once again took the banner and led the Shanghai workers to hold the third armed uprising and finally won the victory. However, the favorable situation had not lasted long, and the Kuomintang reactionaries suddenly betrayed the revolution and launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup that shocked China and the world, causing the Communist Party to suffer heavy losses. At the same time, Luo Yinong was also ordered to withdraw from Shanghai.
The occurrence of the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup also directly verified Luo Yinong's previous idea, namely the importance of establishing an armed force. Since then, armed seizure of power has also become an important line of the Communist Party of China.
is like this. In the process of constantly connecting theory with practice and applying it to practice, Luo Yinong gradually grew up to be an important leader of our party. In November 1927, he became a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and was one of the important leaders of our party. At the end of this year, due to work needs, Luo Yinong went to Shanghai again.
For a long time, Luo Yinong has been actively running on the front line of the revolution, which not only cultivated his rich combat experience and wisdom, but also enabled him to develop the ability to handle cautiously and resiliently. At the same time, it was no surprise that it also made him a "thorn in the eyes" and "thorn in the flesh" of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
1928 On April 15, 1928, Luo Yinong unfortunately fell into the hands of the Kuomintang reactionaries due to betrayal by a traitor. After suffering 6 days of severe torture and coercion and temptation in prison, he was taken to the Longhua execution ground for execution at the age of 26 when he died. He is also the first member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee that our party sacrificed.
The next day, Shanghai " declaration " reported on Luo Yinong's sacrifice and wrote about Luo Yinong's righteous attitude before leaving. He said that he was "wearing a straight tribute jacket, a gray serge robe, and his clothes were very neat." said that he was calm and took paper and pen, and wrote a last-minute letter on the spot, expressing his will and conveying the revolutionary integrity of looking at death:
"Go on the car generously, and I will go there for a long time. How can I cherish my remaining body? The enemy is in the face of the situation."
On May 30, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a special article "Mourning Comrade Luo Yinong", which made a very high evaluation of his short life:
"Comrade Yinong was murdered, the Chinese proletariat lost one of the most enthusiastic leaders, and the Chinese Communist Party lost one of the most heroic soldiers... Luo Comrade Yinong's enthusiastic revolutionary spirit can be a model for all members of the Communist Party of China. "
Since then, the image of Luo Yinong has always remained in the history of the party. When the old comrade Li Zheshi recalled Luo Yinong, his voice, appearance and smile suddenly appeared in front of him:
"Comrade Yinong's tall figure, hearty laughter, his alert and quiet expression, and enthusiastic and humorous character will be cherished forever and deeply in my memory."
Although he has passed away for many years, his fighting spirit has always inspired a generation of young people to strive for progress and dedicate themselves to the nation, country and people.
Central Special Correspondence unanimously decided to kill
In fact, before Luo Yinong returned to Shanghai to fight again in 1927, he had already realized that the crime was more good and good. At that time, Luo Yinong led the Shanghai workers' armed uprising three times, and his name was well-known in Shanghai.
Korean reactionaries offered a reward of tens of thousands of yuan to capture Luo Yinong. The military, police, constitutional, special forces, and even the concession police are always paying attention to Luo Yinong's whereabouts. Although the situation was severe, Luo Yinong still expressed his determination to his friends to leave:
"I set off to Shanghai today. The good and bad luck are uncertain, but the emperor ordered me to call me urgently. In addition, the itinerary is very important, so I decided to take the risk."
After arriving in Shanghai, Luo Yinong frequently met with party comrades from all over the country who came to Shanghai, listened to the report, and didn't even have time to find a house. He temporarily moved into the home of Zheng Linchao (the then Minister of Propaganda) on Hengchangli, Yuyuan Road.
And his newlywed wife Li Wenyi is a student of Shanghai Art College. Since Luo Yinong failed to find a house, she temporarily moved into the school dormitory. The two met while working in Wuhan, from comrades to comrades to revolutionary couples, and their relationship was very deep.
April 8, after finishing his work, Luo Yinong finally had some time for himself, so he and his wife Li Wenyi met in a hurry. Before leaving, Luo Yinong carted a rickshaw for her.
I don’t know if it was a bond of my family or a coincidence. Li Wenyi kept looking back at Luo Yinong after getting in the car, and his heart was full of reluctance and uneasiness, while Luo Yinong waved at her with a smile... They didn’t expect that this time the farewell was a farewell, and the last scene in Li Wenyi’s memory was frozen in the scene of her husband waving with a smile...
On the evening of April 14, since representatives from two provinces would arrive in Shanghai the next day, Li Weihan, who was then a temporary member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and Luo Yinong decided to meet with each representative to understand the situation. Luo Yinong chose a secret agency located on Gordon Road because the He Jiaxing and his wife stationed here were his secretary and they were very familiar with each other.
When he arrived at an alley, Deng Xiaoping first lowered his head and sorted out his wrinkled clothes, raised his foot and prepared to walk towards a house. However, at this moment, he glanced at him and found a young man in the alley with a shoe repair shop suddenly made an undetectable gesture to him, which surprised him.
So, Deng Xiaoping, who realized that there was a situation, gave up his preparation to go in and pretended that nothing had happened. quickly walked through the house and merged into the crowd.
, this shoe repair stall is the guard post established by the Central Special Section here. The purpose is to observe the situation at all times and to promptly convey messages to the comrades hiding in the central office of Gordon Road when there is danger and remind them to transfer.
Deng Xiaoping did not leave after the noisy abortion. He secretly observed the situation, and was very anxious to know what was happening in the house. A few minutes later, several Kuomintang spies in plain clothes rushed in with the police officers and arrested Comrade Luo Yinong, who had not had time to retreat.
In just a few minutes, the accident happened too suddenly, which caught all the comrades off guard. Deng Xiaoping, who was standing far away, rushed in to help Luo Yinong to rescue him, but he was suddenly grabbed by a comrade behind him and dragged him away. After arriving in a secluded place, the man lowered his voice and said: "Comrade Deng Xiaoping, do you know how dangerous your behavior was?"
"Is it just that Comrade Yinong was arrested?" Deng Xiaoping said sadly.
The man sighed deeply and said, "In the posture just now, Comrade Yinong must have been exposed, otherwise the enemy would not rush in and catch him directly.However, the enemy doesn’t know who else will come, let alone you come. If you just come forward rashly and are captured together, do you know what this means to the party? What's more..." The man in
paused slightly and whispered in Deng Xiaoping's ear: "I suspect there is a traitor in the party. "
Soon after, the news of Luo Yinong's arrest reached Zhou Enlai's ears. He was sad and angry inside. He held his spirits and immediately summoned Deng Xiaoping and others to discuss countermeasures.
April 18, three days after Luo Yinong was arrested, he was directly extraditioned to the headquarters of the Songhu Security Bureau. was in prison, and he suffered the most cruel torture and abuse from the enemy. He was asked to explain the secret of our party, but Luo Yinong was still unwilling to surrender and looked at the enemy's angry face coldly.
No matter it was the temptation of fame, wealth, money, or torture, he could not pry his mouth open. Finally, Chiang Kai-shek was angry and angered. A telegram of "slaying" was sent to the Songhu Security Bureau.
On April 21, Luo Yinong was taken to the Longhua execution ground in Shanghai for a squad. He went to Yi and died heroically at the age of 26. Since then, our party has lost an excellent Communist Party member.
After learning the bad news, Zhou Enlai was full of grief and anger. He didn't know how to face Luo Yinong's newlywed wife. He wanted to cry loudly but was afraid of disturbing the neighbors. So, he poured half a basin of water in the basin, buried his face in the water, and cried while washing his face.
After Luo Yinong's death, the Central Committee of the Party decided to Must find out the traitors within the party and punish them severely. The eyeliner of the Central Special Section in the police station was inserted into the police station. The information shows that Luo Yinong was arrested and reported. The reporter was a beautiful woman who spoke Sichuan dialect and could speak foreign languages. With these clues, the Central Special Section in quickly narrowed the scope of the investigation and targeted He Jiaxing and He Zhihua and his wife. After the Central Special Section reported the situation, Zhou Enlai still didn't believe it because He Jiaxing had served as Luo Yinong's secretary. The two had a good relationship and his work ability was obvious to all. How could he betray the party organization for no reason? But at the same time, he also issued instructions that must find conclusive evidence.
Later, the Central Special Section conducted a detailed investigation around He Jiaxing and his wife. . investigation found that He Jiaxing and He Zhihua were attracted by the luxurious life in Shanghai and often went to and from the dance hall. Almost all his expenses were spent here.
So when he saw the huge bounty from the Kuomintang reactionaries, he had a bad idea. asked his wife He Zhihua to contact the police station and betrayed Luo Yinong's whereabouts, in exchange for US$3,000 and two passports to go abroad.
On April 15, when He Jiaxing saw Luo Yinong talk to a local comrade, he immediately went to the police station to report, while He Zhihua continued to stay here. After a while, the police and spies came here. After He Zhihua talked to them in German , Luo Yinong was taken away, but she was safe and sound.
After investigation, the Central Special Section had obtained conclusive evidence. After Zhou Enlai discussed with relevant comrades, tml8 unanimously decided not to be tolerant of traitors, and finally made up his mind to "kill".
In order to avoid alarming the enemy, the Central Special Corps asked He Zhihua about the situation as usual. She pretended to look innocent and said:
"At that time, I told the police that I was just a translator, and all these materials were translated by me. They were used to sell money, not the person they were looking for. So, my information and I are safe and sound. Luo Yinong was someone they had been paying attention to for a long time, so I had no choice but to watch them capture Luo Yinong..."
After He Zhihua finished his explanation, the comrade of the Central Special Section said to her: "This place is no longer safe. The party organization ordered you to transfer quickly and go to Nanjing Road in the future. "
He Zhihua was secretly happy, thinking that he had not been exposed yet, and said happily: "Okay, okay... listen to the party's arrangements. ”
Early on the morning of April 25, the comrades from the Central Special Branch pretended to be a bride-welcoming team and came downstairs of He Zhihua and He Jiaxing.Afterwards, a team of comrades broke into the two of them. After got the list of addresses and information written by more than 350 Communist Party members, he took advantage of the sound of firecrackers outside and shot him to death. He Zhihua was also shot and dying.
Due to the tight time, the whereabouts may be exposed at any time. The comrades from the Central Special Branch hurriedly left the scene before they could beat He Zhihua to death.
At that time, the Communist Party member Zheng Chaolin , who also works in Shanghai, recalled this "homicide case", once said:
"At dusk, Deng Xixian walked in and asked me for the evening newspaper. I was quite surprised by his mysterious spirit and immediately went out to buy an evening newspaper. It was published on it today's French Concession h A assassination case occurred in tml6. The victim was a newly moved couple. The man died and the woman was injured in the bed, but she did not die. I immediately understood Deng Xixian's mysterious and arrogant attitude, and handed him the newspaper quietly. "
Luo Yinong's sacrifice was a huge loss to our party, but it was precisely because of countless "Luo Yinong" who went on one after another and rushed towards the revolution that the revolution had victory and a happy life today.
