In January 1929, in order to crush the enemy's encirclement and suppression, Mao Zedong and Zhu De led their troops to leave Jinggangshan to develop in southern Jiangxi.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was bound to uproot the Communist Party, did not intend to let them go. He sent his subordinates to chase them all the way and publicized them in the newspapers. As long as Mao Zedong’s head was taken, he would be rewarded 250,000 oceans, and Zhu De’s head would be able to be rewarded. Reward 100,000 oceans.
Zhu De and Mao Zedong
On February 1, 1929, the troops of Mao Zedong and Zhu De and others stopped and stopped all the way and were exhausted, so they camped in Xiangshan in Xunwu. In the early hours of the morning, they were suddenly surrounded by the Kuomintang Liu Shiyi troops who were following them.
Zhu De left in order to protect Mao Zedong and government officials, but broke up with his troops.
Zhu De brought his wife Wu Ruolan, who was four months pregnant, and five soldiers with submachine guns around him, looking for opportunities to break through. The Kuomintang watched the soldiers holding the best guns, believing that there must be a high official in them, and bit them all the way.

Zhu De and others, who were not familiar with the terrain, finally hid in a ruined temple. At the time of extreme danger, Wu Ruolan knew that Zhu De would never go first, but at this moment the enemy surrounded the small temple.
She lied that Zhu De was a husband, and pushed him and a soldier out of the temple,But she yelled: "I am Zhu De's wife, come and catch me if you have the ability."
finished speaking, she raised her double guns, killed the enemy surrounding the door, and brought another Four soldiers rushed out of the temple. When Liu Shiyi's troops learned that she was Zhu De's wife, they went crazy to chase Wu Ruolan and ordered her to be captured alive.
Wu Ruolan and the four warriors fought fiercely with the enemy, and finally ran out of ammunition and food. She was hit in the right leg by the enemy, unable to move, and was eventually caught by Liu Shiyi's men and sent to the prison in Ganzhou.
In the prison, Wu Ruolan was tortured, and finally she died heroically at the age of 26. The four-month-old child who died with her shows how cruel the enemy is.
The death of Wu Ruolan
When Wu Ruolan was put in prison, Liu Shiyi couldn't wait to ask Chiang Kai-shek of the Nanjing government for credit. Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, and especially confessed that he must be tortured severely and must obtain information about the Red Army from her.

asked her: where is the Red Army?
Wu Ruolan said: is in the hearts of the people.
Liu Shiyi
Seeing that Wu Ruolan doesn't eat hard at all, the more you torture her, the stronger she becomes. Liu Shiyi began to pretend to be kind, and persuaded Wu Ruolan to give priority to the child in her stomach and raise her hand to surrender to save her life, but it still didn't work.
Wu Ruolan is a loyal and patriotic woman, chivalrous and loyal to the party, she is a greedy person and fearful of death, she said angrily: "Communism will surely win, the revolution will surely succeed, you This group of reactionaries will definitely be destroyed!"
This touched Liu Shiyi's mold, and he beat Wu Ruolan severely. Considering that Zhu De is a high official in the Red Army, Liu Shiyi tempted her: As long as she breaks away from Zhu De, she will let her survive.
Wu Ruolan, who was dying tortured, said firmly: "It is impossible for me to break away from Zhu De. If I were to bow my head, unless the day came out from the west, the Ganjiang River would flow back!".
Liu Shiyi, who was exhausted and patient, sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek in despair, requesting the disposal of Wu Ruolan. When Chiang Kai-shek learned that Wu Ruolan didn't eat hard and soft, and couldn't use it for himself, he replied: was executed as soon as possible, and his head was cut to show the public.
February 12, 1929, the day the telegram was received,Liu Shiyi immediately escorted Wu Ruolan to the execution ground and beheaded in public.

In order to deter the Red Army, Wu Ruolan's head was cut off and hung on the gate of Changsha for three days and three nights.
Yang Kaihui in Changsha witnessed the tragic death of Wu Ruolan. She sorrowfully wrote an article "Sorrow from Appreciating the Head" in the newspaper, denounced the behavior of the Kuomintang.
"This time I was awakened by the murder of Zhu De's wife! It turns out that we haven't got rid of the civilized atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty, and the principles of sin and punishment of the nine races are still fluctuating in people's hearts! In addition, I actually did it again. I know that killing is not only not a tragic thing, but a human head is simply a kind of artwork that is universally needed!"
Zhu De cried to Mao Zedong, she died for me
Zhu De was in the broken temple To escape, due to the rush, on the dark road, the soldier who followed him accidentally stepped on the air, fell into the cliff and fell seriously injured.

At noon the next day, the soldier died of heavy casualties and did not receive timely medical attention, and finally stopped breathing on his back.
Zhu De spotted the warrior on his back,The body was already stiff, and tears flowed out. He tearfully dug a cemetery for the soldiers, buried it, took off his military cap, and bowed deeply to the cemetery.
Until the next night, Zhu De finally found the troops. At this time, he was covered with mud, his clothes were stained with blood, and there were faint tears that could be seen drying away on his face.
The soldiers heard that the commander had returned, and they gathered around him and found him alone. Chen Yi asked anxiously: "Where is Comrade Ruolan?" Zhu De shook his head: "I don't know her, what's going on now?"

In order to gather more information for Zhu De, Wu Ruolan disguised as a commoner and traveled throughout the mountainous area.
In the evening, she was under the oil lamp, sorting out information, or copying articles for her husband to read.
