He Zizhen: A gorgeous "Flower of Jinggang"
Song Haifeng
The towering Jinggangshan is located in the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. It is known to the world as the "cradle of the Chinese revolution".
The establishment of the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base is the result of the collective struggle of the Chinese Communists represented by Mao Zedong. In this collective, there is a weak but beautiful figure, like a beautiful "Jinggang Flower", blooming on Jinggang Mountain. Made a unique contribution to the establishment of the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base. She is He Zizhen, the first female Red Army member and the first female Communist Party member in Jinggangshan.
On the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base, with admiration for the revolutionary pioneer He Zizhen, we walked into He Zizhen’s hometown - Huangzhuling Village, Yange Township, Yongxin County, under the Jinggang Mountains, and looked for a generation of female heroes who poured their blood into their ideals and used their lives to Follow the footsteps of your original intention. Local villagers told us that there are yellow bamboos everywhere on the mountains here, and there are green oases everywhere, so it is named Huangzhuling. In 1909, He Zizhen was born in this small mountain village with beautiful mountains and green waters.
Looking up at the bronze bust of He Zizhen when he was young and heroic in front of his former residence, I heard the praises of the older generation revolutionary He Changgong for He Zizhen during his lifetime: he was brave in battle, witty and agile, good at riding horses and shooting guns. He was a real person. Land, a heroine who has led troops and fought tough battles.
What is the power that allows a young girl from a mountain village to grow into a female Red Army soldier who adheres to her ideals, fulfills her original intention, takes on her mission, fights bravely, is loyal to the party, and exerts influence across time and space?
is the power of faith. In 1925, Ouyang Luo, the earliest Communist Party member in Yongxin County, was dispatched by the party and returned to Yongxin, Xinjiang to secretly open a night school for civilians. Every night, the three brothers He Minxue, He Zizhen and He Yi eagerly read progressive books such as "Guide", "Chinese Youth", " Communist Manifesto " in night school, and began to be exposed to socialist ideas and accept Marxism.
"Why do you want to join the party?" For Chinese Communist Party members, this is a lifelong question. Ouyang Luo asked when He Zizhen asked to join the party. He Zizhen replied: "In order to let thousands of mothers and children live a good life, in order to let the gray-haired elderly people enjoy their lives." Such a belief is so completely conscious and heroic. oath to join the party , witness the original intention. "...Fight for communism for life and be ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people...". One day in July 1926, facing the party flag, He Zizhen made an oath. Without burning faith, there would be no such burning oath.
Look at the original intention and responsibility on the front line of struggle. In the early morning of July 18, 1927, He Zizhen participated in organizing and leading the Peasant Self-Defense Army of Yongxin, Anfu, Ninggang, and Lianhua counties to attack Yongxin County, open the prison and rescued more than 80 arrested Communists and the revolutionary masses. Soon, two enemy regiments launched a frantic attack on Yongxin County in four directions. In order to preserve the revolutionary power, He Zizhen, together with comrades of the Yongxin County Party Committee, followed the team of his brother He Minxue's friend, Communist Party member, and commander-in-chief of the Ninggang County Peasant Self-Defense Army, Yuan Wencai, to the Jinggang Mountains.
Gazing at the sculptures of Mao Zedong and He Zizhen in front of the He Zizhen Memorial Hall in Yongxin County, I was suddenly brought into those red years. In the team welcoming the arrival of the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army led by Mao Zedong, Yuan Wencai pointed to He Zizhen and introduced to Mao Zedong: "Her name is He Zizhen, she is a member of the Yongxin County Party Committee..." Mao Zedong held He Zizhen's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Very good. Very good, let’s fight together from now on!”
In the battle of blood and fire in Jinggang Mountains, He Zizhen and Mao Zedong met, got acquainted, knew each other, and fell in love, and became revolutionary partners who shared each other. For the next 10 years, they shared weal and woe, accompanied each other in life and death, and walked side by side through the most difficult period of the Chinese revolution. A difficult journey.
This time, I also came to the Octagonal Tower in Maoping, Jinggangshan. Looking back on those days, Mao Zedong used the faint light to contemplate the path of the Chinese revolution.In order to collect information to help Mao Zedong write "Why China's Red Regime Can Exist" and "The Struggle in Jinggangshan", He Zizhen tried every means to collect newspapers such as " Declaration" and " Ta Kung Pao", and read the newly acquired newspapers carefully. , draw important circles for Mao Zedong’s reference when reading. I listened quietly to the narrator's story that Mao Zedong often sat at his desk writing manuscripts late into the night or even into the morning. At this time, He Zizhen sat aside and helped Mao Zedong read the manuscript, make comments, and copy the manuscript. Many of Mao Zedong's glorious works were transcribed by He Zizhen, then secretary of the CCP's Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee.
Tan Zhenlin once commented on He Zizhen in his later years. She graduated from a normal school and worked vigorously and vigorously. She was capable, knowledgeable about politics, had a good level, was eloquent, and had a strong ability to mobilize the masses. At the celebration meeting to celebrate the victory of Longyuankou, He Zizhen was wearing a gray military uniform and a belt around her waist. She was heroic and elegant. Her speech was enthusiastic and inspiring, winning rounds of applause from the audience. Zhu De praised, "Comrade He Zizhen is really an outstanding propagandist!"
The Luoxiao Mountains in autumn are full of colorful forests and magnificent scenery. I wandered in the Huangyangjie and sang emotionally Huangyangjie Defense War After the victory, He Zizhen sang the folk song from the bottom of his heart at the celebration meeting. : "The sound of Huang Yangjie's artillery made the White Army hide in the distance! The shit was pouring out and they crawled down to feed it, and the rats hurriedly shouted for grandma!"
He Zizhen is a gorgeous, enthusiastic "Flower of Jinggang" who doesn't like red clothes and prefers weapons. During the battle to defend Huangyangjie, He Zizhen, who was more than three months pregnant, insisted on piling wood, rolling stones, breaking bamboo, cutting bamboo nails, and frying bamboo nails on the battlefield. She was busy here and there again. That, often staying up all night. With the heroic fighting of He Zizhen and the Red Army officers and soldiers, the Red Guards and the people, the battle to defend Huangyangjie was won, and the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area was saved. When the good news reached Mao Zedong's ears, he happily wrote the famous " Xijiangyue·Jinggangshan ".
A writer said that the heroes created by the times are like the pure gold treasures generated by the stratigraphic structure. They are the crystallization of the essence of loyalty, liver, righteousness and courage, and are the foundation of the backbone of the national soul.
He Zizhen is tall, slender, beautiful yet heroic, and is as brave as men when marching and fighting. She is a decisive, brave, and brave female general. Just after New Year's Day in 1929, in order to relieve the siege of Jinggangshan, Zhu De and Mao Zedong adopted the strategy of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao" and led the Fourth Red Army to attack southern Jiangxi. On January 23, the Fourth Red Army captured the city of Dayu County in China. . The next night, the Kuomintang Army's Jin Handing Division suddenly surrounded the headquarters of the Fourth Red Army. At this critical moment, He Zizhen held the gun with both hands and shot left and right, killing two Kuomintang army officers who were pursuing him, and protected Mao Zedong's safe escape.
During the most difficult period of the Chinese revolution, He Zizhen and Mao Zedong spent the turbulent fighting years together, leaving a glorious footprint on the road to the victory of the revolution. Her perseverance, strength, bravery and great mind for the common people during the revolutionary years are still shining in the annals of history even today. The road to
is always tortuous. In June 1929, at the Seventh Congress of the Fourth Red Army of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong was forced to leave the Front Committee and took He Zizhen to Sujiapo Village, Shanghang County, western Fujian to recuperate. At this time, Mao Zedong was suffering from falciparum malaria. He was shaking all over and bedridden with a high fever. He Zizhen disguised herself and went to a nearby village to find a doctor, and then to a distant town to find an old Chinese doctor looking for home remedies. Under He Zizhen's careful care, Mao Zedong's illness gradually improved.
Reminiscing about the past, the years are full of vicissitudes.
Wandering around Yunshan Temple on Yunshi Mountain, I was tracing the story of Mao Zedong’s lofty ideals of communism and his unswerving devotion to the revolutionary cause after he suffered the misfortune of being doubted, excluded, and dismissed from his post in Ruijin. The pursuit of my dreams, who else could have shouldered my responsibilities and diligently strived for the great years.
Thinking back to 88 years ago, He Zizhen worked hard day and night at Yunshan Temple, comforting her husband spiritually and caring about his life. His wife's careful care and emotional comfort made Mao Zedong, who was in a bad mood and suffering from illness, feel better and brighter.Mao Zedong personally went to the front to supervise the war to minimize the losses of the Red Army; he studied Marxist-Leninist works endlessly, summed up the experience and lessons of the struggle against the enemy and the construction of the party and the army, and prepared for the future of the party and the Red Army...
Turning over the history of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's Long March, there were many ups and downs and many storms. He Zizhen accompanied the Central Red Army's through mountains and rivers, experienced untold hardships, and withstood the test of blood and fire, life and death.
An oil painting in the lobby of He Zizhen Memorial Hall attracted people's attention. The picture shows He Zizhen bravely rescuing the wounded during the Long March. It was an afternoon in early April 1935. When the Red Army members of the Cadre Recuperation Company of the Central Column dragged their exhausted bodies to the Wuli Platoon near Panxian County, Guizhou Province to rest and camp, they were attacked by several enemy planes who took turns swooping, strafing, and bombing. At this time, He Zizhen, who had gone into hiding, discovered that Zhong Chibing, the political commissar of the 12th Regiment of the Third Red Army, who had been seriously injured in the leg during the battle at Loushanguan, was lying on a stretcher unable to move and was in an extremely dangerous situation.
Fire makes gold. At the critical moment of life and death, He Zizhen jumped out of the ditch without hesitation, threw herself on the stretcher without hesitation, and blocked the flying shrapnel with her body. Zhong Chibing was not injured anymore. The bomb fragments were embedded in her head and back, and the bright red blood It flows continuously and dyes the land red. 1
Isn't He Zizhen's act of risking his own life a vivid illustration of the selflessness and fearlessness of a Communist Party member who dares to sacrifice his excellent qualities?
After the Red Army's Long March victory reached Yan'an , the Chinese revolution entered a new stage. In August 1937, He Zizhen came to the Soviet Union to study medical treatment. Fire refines gold. While in the Soviet Union, He Zizhen knitted her own clothes and grew vegetables, lived frugally, and took good care of her daughter Jiaojiao and brothers Mao Anying and Mao Anying, allowing them to survive with difficulty during the Soviet Patriotic War . In August 1947, with the help of Wang Jiaxiang and his wife, He Zizhen took Li Min and An Qing back to Northeast China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, He Zizhen settled in Shanghai. In June 1953, when meeting with He Minxue, Mao Zedong said affectionately: "Comrade Zizhen has endured hardship. She joined the revolution at the age of 16 and joined the party at the age of 17... After completing the 25,000-mile Long March, Comrade Zizhen is indeed a Those who endured hardship..."
Looking at the " People's Daily " on June 6, 1979 in the display cabinet, a historical picture emerged in front of my eyes. At the fourth meeting of the Fifth National Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, when the meeting approved the addition of He Zizhen as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the audience burst into applause. Regarding the late honor, He Zizhen said happily: "Thank you to the party, thank you comrades..." On April 19, 1984, He Zizhen died of illness at the age of 75.
She closed her eyes and meditated, covering her books in reverie. He Zizhen grew up in the torrential storm of the revolution, matured in the hail of blood and fire in Jinggang Mountains, and experienced the entire process from the beginning to the growth of the Red Army. Her fate was the same as that of the Chinese Communists. Struggle and perseverance are inseparable. Her selfless spirit and quality are a glorious reflection of the red warriors in Jinggangshan.
Listen to the echoes of history and gain historical enlightenment. He Zizhen's great loyalty to the party and unswerving struggle witnessed the original intention of a communist and gave people the strength to move forward.
