actually has a more intuitive impression of Saifuding than an accompanying trip, from a classic photo of the founding ceremony on October 1, 1949. In this photo of
, Chairman Mao in the front row is reading into the microphone. Behind the chairman stands a young man wearing a hat. He looks only 30 or 40 years old and has three-dimensional features. He is particularly eye-catching among a group of generals. .
This young man is Saifuding Aizezi, and he just led a delegation to the Soviet Union and came to Beijing within half a month.
Saifuding and his entourage shoulder the mission of peace. He has just represented the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang in the first session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. On September 30, on the last day of the meeting, Sai Fuding was elected as one of the 63 members of the Central Committee.
On the afternoon of October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony was grandly held. Chairman Mao and other leaders stepped up to the Tiananmen Gate.
Sai Fuding originally stood at the west end of the tower. Chairman Mao saw him at a glance and greeted him cordially: "Come here, you come!" Then, Mao Zedong enthusiastically took his hand and walked towards the middle of the observatory. In this way, the 34-year-old Sai Fuding stood between Dong Biwu and Lin Boqu in the second row and attended the founding ceremony at a distance of only two meters from the chairman.
Sai Fuding heard Mao Zedong solemnly declared: "The People's Republic of China Republic The Central People's Government is established today!" Seeing the crowds cheering in Tiananmen Square and the waving flags, Sai Fuding was full of excitement and joy. Among. This is the most memorable moment of happiness in his life, and it is also a great honor for the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.
The Xinjiang delegation was able to rush to Peiping to attend the meeting, and Saifuding was able to catch up with the founding ceremony. In fact, it experienced a lot of twists and turns and made great sacrifices behind it.
On September 15, 1949, in order to peacefully liberate Xinjiang, the central government sent a liaison officer, Deng Liqun, to lead three staff and a radio station into Xinjiang from the Soviet Union to establish "Liqun Radio Station" and maintain radio communication with the Central Committee.
At this time, Xinjiang has established a three-zone liberated area, led by the Xinmeng, and the chairman is Ahematijiang , and Sai Fuding serves as the vice chairman and head of the propaganda department.
Through this "Liqun Radio", Deng Liqun built a bridge between the "Three Districts" and the Northwest Field Army and the Central Committee. Deng Liqun conveyed the central government's intentions to the leaders of the three districts and, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, invited the three districts to send representatives to attend the upcoming Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beiping.
The three-zone revolution started as early as August and September 1944. The fuse was the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai forcing the people of all ethnic groups to donate 10,000 horses. This is the "horse donation movement" of Sheng Shicai . The people of all ethnic groups could not bear the oppression, set up guerrillas and the national army to launch an armed uprising, defeated the Kuomintang army in a row, and established the revolutionary government of Iraq, Afghanistan and Tajikistan in 1945.
Xinjiang is located in a remote area. In the early stage of the revolution, some reactionary forces seized the leadership and attempted to violate the will of the people of all ethnic groups. But soon he was expelled, and people who were deeply influenced by the Chinese Communist Party, such as Ahmad Jiang and Saifuding Aizezi, put the revolution back on track.
The invitation of the Central Committee is something that the three districts have long been looking forward to. The leaders of the three districts gladly accepted the invitation and made it clear that on the issue of the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang, they agreed with all the propositions and decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and have done a lot of work for this .
Through the "Liqun Radio", the Party Central Committee established contacts with the leaders of the three districts, bringing the revolutions in the three districts into the torrent of the Chinese People's Democratic Revolution and strengthening the peace forces in Xinjiang.
On August 23, the Xinjiang delegation went to Peking by plane via the Soviet Union. On August 25, the delegation flew to Irkutsk.
stayed there for two days due to bad weather. On the third day, the plane took off in a thunderstorm. While flying over Lake Baikal, it crashed into a mountain due to its inability to ascend. Unfortunately, all 17 people on board were killed.
Upon learning of the bad news, Deng Liqun immediately reported it to the central government, who sent a telegram of condolence.Condolences, but the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is about to be held. Whether the Xinjiang delegation can attend is of great importance. Therefore, Deng Liqun and Saifuding agreed that Saifuding would organize another delegation to attend the meeting in Peking. When
led a delegation to Beiping in Ahe Mai Tijiang, the work in the three districts was presided over by Sai Fu Ding. The busy work and the unfortunate death of his comrades made Sai Fu Ding more pressure, and all the heavy burdens fell on him. In addition to grief, he also deeply felt the heavy responsibility. The most urgent task was to accept the invitation and organize another delegation to Peking. Under the active operation of Saifuding, a Xinjiang delegation with Saifuding as its head and Ali Mujiang and Tu Zhi as members was soon formed.
On September 8, Sai Fuding led the Xinjiang delegation to set off, first by plane and then by train, and finally arrived in Peking safely on September 15.
Since all the members of Xinjiang’s first delegation were killed in a plane crash, Mao Zedong and other central leaders gave Saifuding and his entourage more warm reception and care. On the 16th and 17th, arrangements were made to pick up the dust for them. On the 18th, Chairman Mao formally met with the Xinjiang delegation at Juxiang Bookstore .

Sai Fuding later recalled that Chairman Mao first took everyone to the center of the living room and expressed solemn condolences for the unfortunate death of Ahematijiang and others before they sat down to discuss. After
praised Saifuding and others for their revolutionary enthusiasm and actions to safeguard national integrity, Chairman Mao explained to them a series of guidelines and policies for the establishment of a new China. He said to Saifuding: "I invite you to participate in the CPPCC National Committee. It means that everyone discusses the country together and unites compatriots from all ethnic groups to build a new China." The three district governments represented by Saifuding have always supported reunification and peace talks. Saifuding himself has long admired the Communist Party of China and Chairman Mao. It has been difficult to get direct contact with the mountains and rivers far away. Deng Liqun’s radio station was an opportunity. Now he finally realized his long-cherished wish. Mao Zedong’s tolerance and openness made Sai Fuding even more impressed. He said to Chairman Mao: “Being able to participate in such an epoch-making conference, It is Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee’s great concern for our Xinjiang. As a representative of the Xinjiang people, I feel the supreme honor." On the evening of September 21, 1949, the first session of the CPPCC National Committee was held in Huairentang, Zhongnanhai. Saifuding took the stage to speak on behalf of the people of Xinjiang, expressing the desire of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang for liberation, and expressing resolute obedience to the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
