Oulunbin (Chairman of Lechang Art Critics Association)
11950, the vicious remnants of the Kuomintang raised their butcher knife to the people in order to cooperate with the "counterattack on the mainland". More than 3,000 Kuomintang bandits hidden in the territory of Lechang launched a counter-revolutionary armed riot, and frantically attacked the Lechang County, District and Township People's Governments in an attempt to subvert the new people's regime. In the early morning of March 25, Bai Binghuan, the mayor of the Kuomintang Huangpu Township, gathered more than 300 armed bandits and besieged the People's Government of Huangpu Township, 5th District. Because of the large number of enemies and the small number of strength, the township government was captured by the bandits. Li Yingjie, the good son of the Lechang people, the district work team leader, and Li Yuanyue, the township chief, all of them were brutally killed by the bandits.
Excellent in terms of academic performance, patriotism, love for the party,
Li Yingjie, whose courtesy name is Wenjun, is from Dalingxia Village, Jingkou, Pingshi Town, Lechang County. He was born on August 13, 1916. He ranks second among the three brothers and sisters. Li Yingjie lost his mother at the age of 7, and his father alone took care of his family's livelihood. My father is loyal, kind, hardworking and frugal, and he devotes himself to farming throughout his life. In order to help him make up for his family, he does some small business locally during the slack farming period. In 1929, a fire burned the store that my father worked hard to ashes, and his father was also seriously injured and died soon after. Later, Li Yingjie defected to his uncle to live. When his uncle Li Yuanfeng was young, he engaged in the peasant movement in Guitang with Li Chuankai, the left-wing Kuomintang and the Lechang Minxuan County Mayor. In 1926, he served as the company commander of the National Revolutionary Army, and later returned to his hometown to work as a farmer and also engaged in small businesses. In 1932, Li Yingjie went to Pingshi with his uncle to do a small business, and during this period, he felt the desire to study and study. My uncle saw that he had the idea of studying and was determined to help him become a talent.

1933, 17-year-old Li Yingjie entered Pingshishang Township Academy to study. Because he was old and sensible, loyal and upright, diligent in studying, excellent grades, and was highly valued by teachers and respected by classmates, he was elected as the class monitor.
Japanese invaders invaded China on a large scale, and a large area of land became enemies. In October 1938, after the fall of Guangzhou, some colleges and universities moved to the rear of Guangdong during the war. At that time, Guangzhou Peizheng and Peidao Middle School moved to Pingshi, Lechang. The two schools merged and renamed "Pelian Middle School", and Li Yingjie attended Peilian Middle School. In the winter of 1940, the National Sun Yat-sen University moved from Chengjiang, Yunnan to Pingshi area of Lechang. Under the leadership of the underground party organization of the Communist Party of China, the school adheres to the working policy of the anti-Japanese national united front and the party in the Kuomintang-controlled district, exposing the Japanese imperialist crimes of invasion of China and the Kuomintang's conspiracy to surrender to the anti-communist party, and calls on students to read good books and care about national affairs. In this specific historical period and environment, Li Yingjie was deeply influenced by the patriotic ideas of the anti-Japanese nation and made great progress in his studies. In 1941, Li Yingjie jumped to high school one year ahead of schedule due to his outstanding academic performance. At this time, Li Yingjie often used his spare time to read the wall newspapers promoting patriotic and anti-Japanese content at the CUHK College of Literature and Science near the school, and went to the Jinbu Bookstore to purchase the Jinbu newspapers and books, and listened to and watched the situation report meetings, story meetings and literary drama performances held by Zhongbu University. On January 30, 1942, under the leadership of the underground party organization, progressive students from the Law School of CUHK held a conference to denounce corruption in Kong Xiangxi. After the meeting, more than 200 people were organized to march and demonstrate to Pingshi Street. When the parade passed by Li Yingjie's uncle's shop, Li Yingjie was coming home from school, so he quietly followed the team to join the parade. The next morning, he spread the news of the CUHK Law School's demonstration against Confucius and caused a strong response among the students of Peilian Middle School. In the autumn of 1944, Li Yingjie was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University with excellent results. At that time, the Japanese invaders stepped into northern Guangdong, and the Kuomintang authorities retreated in panic, and he moved universities and schools from other places to northern Guangdong one after another. In January 1945, after the fall of Lechang, CUHK immediately evacuated in two places. Li Yingjie moved to Sanjiang, Lianxian County (now Liannan County), with a teacher and student of a unit. Soon the school returned to his hometown during the winter vacation.
In Lechang's hometown, Li Yingjie witnessed the various crimes of burning, abducting, and massacre of the people by the Japanese invaders. He was filled with national indignation and deeply hated the Kuomintang's passive anti-Japanese and active anti-communist behavior. So, together with the people of his hometown, he actively participated in the fight against the invaders.At that time, along the Pingshi line of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, an anti-Japanese guerrilla self-defense force under the leadership of the Yile Working Committee of the Communist Party of China was active. Li Yingjie contacted the guerrillas through Li Ming, a guerrilla team in the neighboring village, accepted the task and participated in the operation. The guerrillas sent him a bomb. Once, the guerrillas received information: a small group of Japanese troops guarding the bridge were going to Jingkou Village in Gutang to harass and destroy it. The guerrillas decided to kill the enemy. Li Yingjie took the initiative to ask for participation in this operation. He and guerrilla Li Ming slaughtered a dog in advance, and made an appointment with two friends from the same village. In a house on the roadside to Jingkou Village, he showed that friends gathered to eat dog meat, lured the Japanese army to eat dog meat, and then triggered a bomb to kill him. However, the suspicious and cunning Japanese army did not dare to go to eat dog meat rashly, and finally lost a good opportunity to kill the enemy.
11945, Sun Yat-sen University moved back to Guangzhou one after another, and Li Yingjie also went to Guangzhou to continue his studies with the school. During this period, under the influence of progressive teachers and classmates, Li Yingjie began to accept Marxism-Leninism , and his world outlook and outlook on life changed greatly. In 1946, the Kuomintang reactionaries violated the peace aspirations of the people across the country and openly launched a full-scale civil war, massacred Communists and revolutionary masses everywhere, and implemented fascist rule. The Kuomintang’s actions against the times made Li Yingjie clearly realize that only the Communist Party of China is the savior to save the working people of the Chinese nation. From then on, Li Yingjie was determined to transform society and transformed from a patriotic student with a sense of justice to a revolutionary passionate young man who accepted and supported our party’s justice propositions and actively participated in the peace and democratic movement. On May 31, 1947, junior college students held a demonstration against hunger, anti-civil war and anti-oppression. Li Yingjie participated in the parade with a small colored flag in his hand, reflecting the sense of justice of a patriotic young man. During holidays, Li Yingjie returns to his hometown, and his brothers ask him about the situation in the outside world. Li Yingjie uses this to introduce various new ideas, new cultures and the new situation of the War of Liberation, publicize the Communist Party's policies and propositions, criticize the Kuomintang for launching the civil war, and re-push the people of the people in the war, and arouse the people in their hometown to oppose the Kuomintang's dictatorship and support the leadership of the Communist Party. Li Yingjie's progressive thoughts and simple words made the villagers feel friendly, so that the people of his hometown have long regarded him as a Communist Party member to spread the word.
In the autumn of 11948, Li Yingjie graduated from university. In order to facilitate his family, he gave up the opportunity to plan things in a big city and returned to his hometown of Lechang. He was hired to teach at Lechang County Middle School. At this time, after the victory of the three major battles of Liaoshen, Pingjin and Huaihai, the People's Liberation Army forced its crossing of the Yangtze River in April 1949, and the Kuomintang ruling group fell into a state of fragmentation and collapse. Lechang is a "model county" of the Kuomintang, with a complex social foundation and strong reactionary force. When Lechang was approaching liberation, the reactionaries were frightened and struggled to create a terrifying atmosphere, and frantically hunted and killed the Communist Party "suspiciously", and people were panicked for a while. In accordance with the instructions of the superior party and combined with the actual situation of the Lechang struggle, the Communist Party of China has made a working policy of "stabilizing people's hearts, exposing rumors, grasping the enemy's situation, strictly preventing sabotage, and welcoming liberation." In early 1949, the superior party organization sent Comrade Yang Wenguang to Lechang Middle School to engage in revolutionary work under the cover of teaching, and lived in the same room with Li Yingjie. Li Yingjie's straightforward personality, progressive thoughts, and distinctive expressions of love and hate were quickly gained Yang Wenguang's trust. They often talked about thoughts and politics together. In their conversation, Li Yingjie bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with the rule of the Kuomintang and was full of sympathy and yearning for the Communist Party. Yang Wenguang learned about his ideological foundation, political tendencies and family situation. During this period, after listening to the introduction of Li Yingjie's performance by the Lechang Party Organization, the Qujiang Working Committee instructed Yang Wenguang to strengthen his education, so that his ideological awareness can be continuously improved, and to strive for him to do more work for the Party. Yang Wenguang further united and helped him in accordance with the instructions of the party organization, and often borrowed some literary and artistic works from the liberated areas, such as "Li Youcai's Ban Dance", "Xiao Erhei's Marriage", "Wang Ji and Li Xiangxiang", etc. Li Yingjie felt very fresh about these books and magazines full of new life atmosphere. After guidance and education by the party organization, Li Yingjie's thoughts have undergone profound changes. He consciously studied some Marxist-Leninist theoretical books, discussed the laws of social development, further established a progressive outlook on life, and consciously devoted himself to the struggle to overthrow the Kuomintang's reactionary dark rule and welcome the national liberation.He used his ability to be a teacher to spread progressive ideas to students, introduce the living conditions of the people in the liberated areas, criticize the darkness and corruption of the Kuomintang, guide students to make progress, and do their best to build a new society.
11949, in order to save the impending reactionary regime, Xue Yue , in order to save the destruction of the reactionary regime, he fled back to his hometown of Lechang, and conducted anti-communist propaganda at Lechang Middle School and lured students to join his guard pistol company. The Lechang Party Organization decided to boycott it. Li Yingjie followed the instructions of the Party Organization and educated students in the form of individual conversations, pointing out that the reactionary government of the Kuomintang was about to perish, and participating in the pistol company was equivalent to becoming cannon fodder for the Kuomintang. Through persuasion and education, most of them became aware of the fact that few students were deceived, which made the Kuomintang's conspiracy to expand reactionary armed forces bankrupt.
Work actively, fearless and fearless
11949, Li Yingjie took the risk and kept in touch with Yang Wenguang, the head of the underground party, and actively accepted and completed the tasks assigned by the party organization. Since Lechang is facing liberation, superiors urgently need to understand and grasp the dynamics of the upper-class figures in Lechang, bureaucratic landlords and landlord armed forces, and use social relations to collect the above information. Li Yingjie happily accepted the task and collected and handed over the information to the party organization in a timely manner according to the instructions of the party organization, which played an important role in the PLA's army's journey south to Guangdong and the liberation of Lechang. During this period, Li Yingjie and others did a lot of work to welcome the liberation, collect enemy situations and convey intelligence, and were praised by the party organization. Based on Li Yingjie's thoughts and work performance, the Lechang Party Organization obtained the consent of the Qujiang Working Committee and decided to absorb him into the party. However, as the situation developed beyond expectations, the party members of the branch stayed at their respective posts and were busy welcoming liberation. They had no time to discuss his joining the party, and Lechang was liberated on October 19.
After the liberation, the people's government urgently needed many working cadres. Li Yingjie was recommended by the party branch to participate in the county people's government's grain collection team. In November, he participated in the grain collection pilot work in Nanxiang (Changlai) in District 2 and served as the leader of the Lingkou Village Working Group. After the pilot work was completed, he was sent to District 5 (Pingshi) as the district government secretary (some say the district mayor assistant) and the grain collection team leader. At that time, Lechang was soon liberated, and he was facing the arduous task of healing the trauma of war, stabilizing social order, consolidating the new people's regime, and carrying out urban and rural construction. At that time, the remaining reactionary armed forces and enemy spies were in a crazy manner, assassinating our cadres and activists among the masses, but Li Yingjie was fearless and actively devoted himself to the construction of the new people's regime with full enthusiasm.
11950, in accordance with the instructions of superiors to "clean up bandit special forces and stabilize order", the Lechang County Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed a work task centered on collecting grain and clearing bandits. Soon, the county's clearance of bandits and grain collection work was fully launched. Li Yingjie took the initiative to ask the district committee to work in Huangpu Township, located on the Hunan-Guangdong border. Huangpu Township is adjacent to Yizhang and Rucheng County in southern Hunan. It has a wide range of mountains, a complex environment, a closed traffic, a backward culture, and a deep conflict between folk sects. It is a place where gangsters and bandits have nowhere to leave. At the beginning of liberation, the remnants of the Kuomintang's reactionary armed forces gathered in this area, destroying and interfering with the implementation of the people's government's decrees, and becoming the most serious bandit-infestation in the county. Li Yingjie was not afraid of difficulties and volunteered to lead 11 working team members of the district government to Huangpu. He led the team members to go deep into the masses and publicize the government's policies and laws, first collect some of the stubs of the clan and ancestors and landlords, and then collect grain taxes to solve the problem of the masses' live-streaming wasteland
picture shows Li Yingjie's former residence. Li Aoxiang took
question, and received the support and support of poor farmers, which quickly opened up the situation in Huangpu's various work. The work of collecting grain from the bandits in the Qing Dynasty shakes the class foundation of feudal landlords, forcibly conquers part of their economic benefits from their exploitation, and arouses their hatred. The enemy attempted to seduce and intimidate Li Yingjie's relatives in Huangpu, but Li Yingjie acted righteously and impartially, shattering the enemy's conspiracy. Once, when a relative of Li Yingjie was collecting grain and confiscating civilian guns, he deliberately reported the grain production and guns, and the masses reported it to the work team. Li Yingjie and some cadres came to the relative's home. After ideological mobilization and policy publicity, he collected the grain funds and confiscated weapons according to the policy. This incident had a great influence in Huangpu. The landlord cursed him behind his back as a "blind dog who does not recognize his relatives." The grain collection team safeguarded the interests of the people and attacked the landlord's reactionary arrogance.The enemy is unwilling to accept failure, pretending to be honest on the surface, but secretly sharpens the knife. They secretly spread rumors and deceived the public. Luo Ji reacted with the army, forcing the masses to send food to the bandits and assassinated government cadres. One day, Li Yingjie's aunt hurriedly found him and said, "Jiezai, I heard that those people (referring to bandits) are going to plot against you, so you might as well leave as soon as possible." Li Yingjie said to his aunt frankly: "If the bandits forcefully fight against the people's government, the government will definitely not let them go. Please rest assured, aunt." Li Yingjie did not retreat and devoted all his energy to work.
failed to break through and sacrifice heroically
11950, the Kuomintang in Taiwan shouted for "counterattack on the mainland", and the bandits were ready to move. The bureaucratic landlords led by Lin Xian (Guominister Renhua County), He Kangmin (Guominister of Rucheng County, Hunan), and Zhou Dewen (Guominister of the Lechang County League Police Zhishan Committee), gathered the remnants of the Kuomintang's reactionary remnants in Lechang, organized counter-revolutionary armed forces such as the "South Hunan Border Region
Anti-Communist and National Salvation Guerrilla Command" and the "Fourth Army of the Anti-Communist and National Salvation Army" to plan riots and attempt to subvert the Xinsheng People's Government. On the 22nd, Xie Zhongshan, the head of the Lechang Langtian Dongxiang Township, Kuomintang, gathered more than 1,000 bandits and attacked the People's Government of the Third District. On the 24th, nearly 3,000 armed bandits led by Li Hong launched an attack on the people's governments of District 1, District 2 and District 4 and the county towns. On the 25th, bandits siege the People's Government of Huangpu Township, District 5. Early in the morning of that day, Bai Binghuan, the head of the Kuomintang Huangpu Township, colluded with more than 300 bandits including Zhang Wenzhao and siege the township government. Li Yingjie and the township chief Li Yuanyue and others were not afraid of danger. The command cadres occupied a favorable position and attacked the enemy with clever and flexibly, resulting in the enemy's repeated head-on attacks that failed to achieve their despicable goals. The enemy had no choice but to use another poisonous plan, and found Mao Chai and threatened to carry out a fire attack. Before the enemy took action, Li Yingjie discussed countermeasures with the township chief Li Yuanyue and other leaders. Everyone believes that bandits can do all kinds of bad things. If the enemy attacks with fire, the masses will suffer the same losses. It is better to use the night sky to cover up the organization's breakthrough. It was decided that Li Yingjie would organize cadres to break through the backyard. Because of the enemy from all sides, the bandits were very rampant. In addition, most of the district and township cadres had initial battles and lacked experience, resulting in the failure of the breakthrough. Li Yingjie and 18 district and township cadres were arrested by the bandits. Li Yingjie was in charge of the district government work team. The enemy beat him brutally with sticks, buttstocks and rocks like a vicious wolf. He also used a brown rope to cover Li Yingjie's neck and dragged him to the center of the street to "disclose". The reactionary village chief Bai Binghuan said to the masses fiercely: "This is a blind dog that is unrecognizable to relatives. Today it falls into our hands. We will peel him and dig his eyes." Li Yingjie opened his eyes with difficulty, looked around the audience, gritted his teeth, and said sternly: "You bandits who do evil deeds, don't be too happy too early. You will be arrogant for a few days. The Communist Party will not let you go." Before he finished speaking, Bai Binghuan ordered the bandits to drag them hard, and Li Yingjie fell into a coma. Our army, which was carrying out bandit suppression in Chishi, Yizhang, Hunan, heard that the Huangpu Township Government was besieged by bandits and immediately rushed to rescue them. The bandits fled in a hurry when they heard the news. A few days later, the evil bandits brutally killed the 18 comrades who were arrested. After the killing, they dug out their eyes and internal organs, cut off their genitals, and pushed the body down several feet deep in Baishi Xianglong Cave. Soon, the People's Liberation Army's bandit suppression troops and local people's armed forces quickly wiped out the bandits entrenched in the Huangpu area. People found the corpses of the martyrs in Xianglong Cave, but the flesh and blood were vague and difficult to separate. He Xiang, the mayor of District 5 (Pingshi), carefully identified the body of his comrades in his grief and anger. A pair of familiar military trousers made him recognize the body of Martyr Li Yingjie. It turned out that when Li Yingjie was working, his family was poor and he didn't even have a decent set of clothes. Out of concern for his comrades, the district mayor He Xiang gave him two sets of old military uniforms. When the martyr died, he wore a pair of military uniforms given by the district mayor. Later, the People's Government tried to kill the martyrs in public trial and shot the culprit in front of the martyrs' tomb, and people were very happy. Li Yingjie's heroic name will always be engraved in the hearts of the people of Lechang.
From the 1990s, more than 40 years have passed. When the old district mayor He Xiang remembered the scene at that time, he said with great regret: "Li Yingjie is capable and educated, has a high ideological awareness, has a bold style, and is actively responsible in his work. He is a rare good comrade, but unfortunately he sacrificed too early." In just a few words, he expressed his deep nostalgia for his comrades.
