Jilin is also a province that the People's Liberation Army liberated earlier during the Liberation War. During the Liberation War, industry had a considerable status in the country.
So who was the first provincial party secretary of Jilin after the founding of the People's Republic of China? The first provincial party secretary of Jilin was Liu Xiwu, born in Mengyang County, Henan Province. Liu Xiwu was born in 1904.
1920, he was 16 years old and studied at Andrew Middle School in Henan, which was a school opened by foreigners at that time. Liu Xiwu awakened revolutionary ideas very early and devoted himself to the revolution, so he was expelled. But he did not regret it and continued to work hard in the revolutionary cause. At the same time, he was also very good at studying. He was admitted to the Department of Social Sciences of Shanghai University and later participated in the Great Revolution. After the failure of the Great Revolution, Liu Xiwu was engaged in activities in the North China area and was unfortunately arrested. Later, he was rescued and later went to the northern Shaanxi base.
Cadres were arrested and rescued, which was also very common during the Agrarian Revolution. For example, Zhao Dezun was also arrested and later rescued. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee.
Because Liu Xiwu had good knowledge, he was arranged to be responsible for organizational work in the Yan'an base area. He served as the Officer of the Organization Department and the Director of the Training Department. He cultivated fresh blood for the Anti-Japanese Base Area. During the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Xiwu fought in North China and attacked the Japanese invaders many times.
During the Liberation War, Liu Xiwu was still in charge of administrative positions and served as Secretary of the Nenjiang Provincial Party Committee and Political Commissar of the Nenjiang Military Region. Nenjiang Province is a province established during the Liberation War. In the late period of the Liberation War, he merged with Heilongjiang and was called Heilongjiang Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he abolished the zoning and entered Heilongjiang. In short, this position helped him understand the situation in the Northeast and also trained Liu Xiwu's administrative ability.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Xiwu was appointed as the first provincial party secretary of Jilin Province. His term of office was from 1949 to 1952. Basically during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Jilin was close to the Korean battlefield. Therefore, Liu Xiwu actively mobilized the masses to contribute to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, which also received a keen response from the masses. Because Jilin is the place where material transportation passes, Liu Xiwu also ensures the smooth operation of material.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the bandits in Jilin were basically resolved by Liu Xiwu, and the land reform was basically completed because Jilin was liberated earlier. During Liu Xiwu's term, he vigorously developed Jilin's industry and built many new factories. Jilin accounted for three percent of the national output value in 1952, which was a very good achievement. In short, Liu Xiwu completed his responsibilities well and laid the foundation for the First Five-Year Plan in Jilin. Later, he was transferred to the Central Committee and served as a member of the Supervisory Committee, which is also an affirmation of his ability.
