In 1949, on the eve of the liberation of Liuyang, Hunan, a farmer named Zhu Shuiqiu found the underground party organization in Liuyang, hoping to restore relations with the party organization and arrange a job for him. After reviewing relevant information, relevant personnel of the underground party organization discovered that the identity of the farmer in front of him was not simple. He turned out to be the former head of the Central Guard Corps.

However, what puzzled the comrades of the underground party organization was that, as a Why did Zhu Shuiqiu, the leader of the Central Guard Corps, live in seclusion in his hometown and become a farmer? What happened?

Zhu Shuiqiu is from Liuyang, Hunan. He served as a soldier in Ye Ting's Northern Expedition in his early years. After the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, Zhu Shuiqiu followed Mr. Zhu to fight. He also participated in the riots in southern Hunan and went to Jinggangshan with Mr. Zhu. .

Under the training of the party, Zhu Shuiqiu grew up rapidly. By the eve of the Central Red Army's Long March, he was already the commander of the 6th Regiment of the Red Division. In January 1935, after the Central Red Army broke through the Wujiang River, it immediately marched towards Zunyi. Zhu Shuiqiu led his troops to capture Zunyi. He personally led the first battalion and the reconnaissance platoon as the vanguard and took the lead in marching. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, They unexpectedly launched a surprise attack on the enemy defenders in Shenxi Shuishan and captured more than 200 people alive.

After careful planning, Zhu Shuiqiu led a battalion disguised as the defeated Qian army, led by 10 prisoners, and arrived at Zunyi City. When the defenders saw that they were their own, they immediately opened the city gate, and Zhu Shuiqiu quickly led his troops to attack. In the city, he outsmarted Zunyi City and effectively guaranteed the convening of the Zunyi Conference .

In February 1937, in order to strengthen the security work of the Party Central Committee and the Military Commission headquarters, the size of the original Central Guard Corps was further expanded, and Zhu Shuiqiu served as the leader of the Central Guard Corps. After the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, the Central Guard Corps was reorganized into the special agent regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, with Zhu Shuiqiu as its commander.

Zhu Shuiqiu could have shown his talents on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, but due to fighting every year in the past, he fell ill and was not treated in time. In 1938, an old injury recurred, which seriously affected his daily work. After approval from his superiors, Zhu Shuiqiu went south for treatment in Wuhan, where the medical conditions were slightly better. During the treatment, Luo Ziming, head of the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Special Committee and Zhu Shuiqiu's hometown, reported to the Yangtze River Bureau.

In order to strengthen the rear work, Luo Ziming transferred Zhu Shuiqiu to the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Special Committee with the approval of his superiors. In June 1939, the reactionaries caused the Pingjiang Massacre that shocked the whole country. Many leaders of the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Special Committee were arrested and killed. At that time, Zhu Shuiqiu was away on business and escaped death. Because the party organization was destroyed, Zhu Shuiqiu changed his name and surname, returned to his hometown Liuyang , and lived in seclusion in the countryside as a farmer. This led many people to think that he had died.

After the founding of New China, the party organization began to look for the lost Red Army. After review, Zhu Shuiqiu's regimental-level treatment was restored and he was appointed deputy minister of the Liuyang County People's Armed Forces Department.
