"Writing can bring peace to the world, martial arts can make the world clear"
As the only founding general who has served as the Minister of Defense of , General Zhang Aiping fought decisively in the south and north, but in private he is elegant in temperament, with a good handwriting vigorous and powerful, and there are endless people who seek words.
1982, a newly elected member of the CPC Central Committee came to General Zhang Aiping's home. He thought the other party was also coming to ask for words, so he led him to the study room to meet. When the two shook hands, the other party asked softly: "Do you still remember your father Jiang Shangqing?"
General Zhang Aiping looked at the visitor and sighed in surprise: "It turns out that Jiang Shangqing is your father!"
it turned out that the person who came to visit was Comrade Jiang Zemin, and his father was the old friend and compatriot Jiang Aiping was longing for - Martyr Jiang Shangqing.
So, what deeds did Comrade Jiang Shangqing have done? What kind of story does he have with General Zhang Aiping?
The person holding the lamp
1939 Northeast region has a song widely circulated - "I hope you hold the giant lamp and shine us forward..." This is an elegy, written by his comrade Shu Fen after the death of a martyr on the Jiang Shangqing.
The martyr of Jiang Shangqing was only 28 years old when he died heroically. His wife Wang Zhelan and two daughters were heartbroken. His death was a huge blow to the entire Jiang family.
Since Jiang Shangqing did not leave his son, according to local customs, his eldest brother Jiang Shijun adopted his 13-year-old second son to him, and this child is Comrade Jiang Zemin.
Jiang Shijun asked his son to adopt him. In addition to not wanting to see his younger brother have no successor, he also hopes that his son can inherit Jiang Shangqing's will. Although Jiang Shangqing's life is short, the giant lamp lit for the revolution is enough to illuminate the figure of future generations to follow.
Jiang Shangqing was born in 1911 when the Xinhai Revolution broke out. His birth was accompanied by the changes of the times and the great changes in the Chinese people's thoughts. He was swept up by the times in this life, but he also made the times.
When he was just born, his original name was Jiang Shihou . His father, Jiang Shixi, is a famous Chinese medicine doctor in , Yangzhou . He is not only obsessed with medical skills, but also has great achievements in art in his spare time. The children of the Jiang family are deeply influenced by him.
In such a chaotic autumn, Jiang Shixi often educates children about their feelings for their family and country. The Jiang family also attaches great importance to the education of their descendants. Jiang Shangqing not only has excellent grades since childhood, but also has a strong patriotic and patriotic heart.
1927 Jiang Shangqing was admitted to the famous Nantong Middle School. The word "Sincere" is the school motto of the school (being sincere to be a person, being always in learning). In this famous school, Jiang Shangqing deeply understood "The right way is straight, and the accumulation of health is the hero" .
Students who can enter Nantong Middle School not only have excellent academic performance, but most of them are also concerned about current affairs. Jiang Shangqing met many fellow people here, including Gu Minyuan and Liu Ruilong who have joined the Communist Party of China.
At that time, China was undergoing great changes. Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" incident , followed by Wang Jingwei and joined the counter-revolutionary camp, and white terror enveloped China.
Although the new democratic revolutionary path established by the Communist Party of China has received deep support from the people, under the persecution of the reactionaries, the revolutionary forces of our party suffered huge losses.
Jiang Shangqing met Gu Mingyuan and Liu Ruilong, and learned from them the revolutionary direction and struggle concept of the Communist Party. Jiang Shangqing, who looked elegant and indifferent, was instantly ignited by the Communist Party's revolutionary enthusiasm.
Regardless of the terrorist threat from the counter-revolutionary camp, Jiang Shangqing joined the Communist Youth League under the introduction of Gu Mingyuan. He was active every time in the subsequent progressive student activities.
In September 1928, Jiang Shangqing returned to Yangzhou for some reason, but he still did not forget Gu Mingyuan and the others' instructions. still actively participated in student activities, and he soon became a thorn in the reactionary side.
During a progressive student activity, the Kuomintang reactionaries arrested him and were imprisoned and warded to Suzhou He was imprisoned for a full six months.
Faced with the doubts of the Jiang family, the Kuomintang gave the reason for arresting that Jiang Shangqing was a backbone of the student movement, but he could not give other reasons to give him sentences. The Jiang family ran around and wanted the Kuomintang to release him as soon as possible.
Jiang Shangqing, who was imprisoned, often faced the persecution and brainwashing of the reactionaries, but he never wavered his beliefs. In prison, he created many revolutionary poems and expressed his determination to actively revolution.
With the efforts of his family, he was released half a year later. Many friends came to visit and comfort Jiang Shangqing, who had just been released from prison, and were worried about his negative consequences due to the culprit disaster, but Jiang Shangqing comforted his friends:
"I should feel glad that I can go to jail for saving the country at the age of 17. I should feel grateful that the crimes added to patriotism are my honor..."
It is rare for a young man to have such insight and courage.
Jiang Shangqing considers that he will continue to firmly adhere to the revolutionary path in the future and is worried that he will cause trouble for his family. he quoted the "The song ends and no one sees, and the peaks of the river will be green." He changed his name to Jiang Shangqing.
With a new name, Jiang Shangqing can better devote himself to the revolutionary struggle. While insisting on student activities, he did not forget to improve his studies. In August 1929, he was admitted to Shanghai University of Arts with excellent results. After coming to Shanghai, he became a student of the literature department. With the active performance in the student movement, successfully joined the Communist Party of China. With the support of the França District Committee of the Communist Party of China, he served as secretary of the Art University Branch.
In order to better carry out the revolutionary struggle, he organized the underground red student union and often went to the factory streets in Shanghai to organize revolutionary actions.

In December 1929, when was attending a secret meeting of our party on North Sichuan Road, Shanghai, he was unfortunately arrested by the reactionaries and was detained in Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison.
Because he was arrested at a Communist Party meeting, unlike the last time he was arrested, which was a simple student movement, the reactionaries began to torture him.
torture left him covered in bruises. Even so, he did not reveal any information about our party. also used his ability to organize to incite his inmates to go on a hunger strike to resist the cruel treatment they encountered.
1930, with the help of our party's Fanan District Committee, Jiang Shangqing, who was covered in pain, finally walked out of prison. But a year of prison and torture did not change his original intention, but instead forged him into a persevering iron-blooded warrior.
Construction Northeast Anhui base
The disease was tortured in prison and suffered from asthma . After Jiang Shangqing was released from prison, he only spent a short time to recuperate his body and devoted himself to the revolutionary work again.
" September 18th Incident " broke out and Northeast fell. Faced with the ugly face of the invaders, Jiang Shangqing was very indignant. He created a song "Moving Forward".
This poem is widely circulated, inspiring the people's fighting spirit to patriotism and save the country. Jiang Shangqing also deeply understood the power of words.
In order to arouse the people's patriotic enthusiasm and determination to resist aggression, he and other patriotic youth founded many progressive publications, including "New Century Weekly" and "Anti-Enemy", which widely promoted Marxism and the Communist Party's thoughts.
While teaching and educating people, Jiang Shangqing has been spared no effort to change his mind and save China.
With the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, when the nation entered a critical moment of life and death, Jiang Shangqing immediately practiced it and established the "Jiangdu County Cultural Circle National Salvation Association Mobile Propaganda Team".
18 members of the Jiang Wen Group set out from Yangzhou, Hefei, Dabie Mountains ... all the way to Xishui , and took a 500-kilometer journey in one and a half years.
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world"
The villages and towns along the way left their busy backs. Through anti-Japanese dramas, anti-Japanese songs and speeches, the team members widely publicized the positive anti-Japanese patriotic thoughts and revolutionary spirit, and promoted a large number of young people to join the army to save the country.
As the Kuomintang and the Communist Party once again joined hands to fight against Japan in full swing, with the arrangement of our party, Jiang Shangqing's organizational relationship was transferred to the Anhui Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. He came to Dabie Mountains in August 1938 to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda work.
In November of the same year, the special branch of the Communist Party of China, with Jiang Shangqing as secretary, was established. In addition to fighting against Japan and saving the country, our party hopes that he can invade the Kuomintang in Anhui Province headed by Sheng Zijin and carry out united front work.
happened to be before Sheng Zijin arrived in Anhui. Under the control of the Kuomintang Guangxi clan, the leader of the warlord Wang Eryi was an old friend of Jiang Shangqing in his early years, but at this moment he was very dissatisfied with Sheng Zijin's airborne.
Sheng Zijin leaned on Dai Li was also dissatisfied with Wang Eryi. There was a rift between the two, which gave Jiang Shangqing a chance.
Under the arrangement of our party, he followed Sheng Zijin as secretary of the Kuomintang’s Commissioner’s Office of the Sixth Administrative Region of Anhui Province and deputy commander of security. was working with the Kuomintang on the surface, but in fact it was to open up the anti-Japanese base in northeast Anhui.
In order to do a good job in revolution, Jiang Shangqing could not let Sheng Zijin and Wang Eryi "fight in the nest" disrupt the "this game of chess" in northeast Anhui.
He specially visited his old friend Wang Eryi and expressed his tactful hope that Wang Eryi would regain his patriotism and not take the wrong direction for his own selfish interests. Wang Eryi is a smart person and listened to his advice.
Under the harmony of Jiang Shangqing, Sheng Zijin and Wang Eryi, who were originally incompatible, really sat together. they both trust Jiang Shangqing very much and affirmed his organizational management ability.
At the suggestion of Jiang Shangqing, Sheng Zijin took the lead in establishing the Northeast Anhui Military and Political Cadre School. After the establishment of this National Military Academy, Sheng Zijin only had Xiao Zhang's name, and the specific affairs were handed over to Jiang Shangqing.
Jiang Shangqing immediately secretly arranged many underground party members of the Communist Party of China to participate in education work, and many anti-Japanese training classes were instructors served as instructors from our party.
"Teacher Jiang often publicizes anti-Japanese national united front in his classroom, and also prints newspapers, which have reprinted " on protracted war "..."
After the founding of New China, Zhu Haifeng, the dean of Bengbu Tank Academy, who once taught in school, recalled that he was deeply touched by Jiang Shangqing's active publicity of the anti-Japanese and the Communist Party's policies and lines.
In this Kuomintang military academy, more than 2,000 students who came out became elites of the New Fourth Army, and 600 student cadres later became backbone of Huaibei Anti-Japanese Base .
Jiang Shangqing has outstanding abilities and is deeply trusted by Sheng Zijin. He took all opportunities to actively promote grassroots revolutionary construction, laying a solid foundation for our party's leadership in the late northeastern Anhui.
At the grassroots level of townships and rural areas, anti-Japanese mass organizations such as the Farmers’ Rescue Association, Women’s Rescue Association, and are soon seen. Anti-Japanese slogans spontaneously posted by the masses everywhere.
The revolutionary torch in northeast Anhui was passed down from generation to generation under the leadership of Jiang Shangqing. The key positions around Sheng Zijin were arranged for the Communist Party of China, and he also secretly cultivated many outstanding talents for our party.
was born great and died gloriously
Under the subtle influence of Jiang Shangqing and the continuous changes in the anti-Japanese situation, Sheng Zijin's attitude towards the CCP changed some times in
Under Jiang Shangqing's persuasion, Sheng Zijin put down his past arrogance, and made people contact Su Luyu's Eighth Route Army and Peng Xuefeng's New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment.
After many exchanges and communications between several parties, Sheng Zijin agreed to face-to-face talks with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. sat down in Luogang Village, Shuanggou Town, and reached an intention to unite.
At that time, the New Fourth Army photographed Liu Yuzhu, secretary of the Political Department, coming, and the senior staff officer Zhang Aiping came on behalf of the Eighth Route Army.
Zhang Aiping knew that if he wanted Sheng Zijin, the stubborn donkey, to take the initiative to propose cooperation, Jiang Shangqing must have made great efforts and praised his revolutionary work.
Through this historic talks, Sheng Zijin, on behalf of the Kuomintang in Northeast Anhui, agreed to our army to set up a liaison office in Northeast Anhui, and , the anti-Japanese national united front in Northeast Anhui was officially formed.
, wood is outstanding in the forest wind, and Jiang Shangqing's efforts have led to a joint talk, and has been rooted in northeast Anhui to develop anti-Japanese forces, which has long been coveted by some reactionaries.
For their own selfish interests, they will never allow the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to appear in northeast Anhui, and they are afraid that Sheng Zijin will follow the trend and make the power bigger and touch their cake.
There are many factions within the Kuomintang, many of whom have long been accustomed to making money against their conscience, and some even secretly communicated with the Japanese army.
New Guangxi system has signed a so-called non-aggression treaty with the Japanese and puppet troops. On the surface, they shouted slogans of anti-Japanese, so that the people who are unknown can pay for the anti-Japanese war, but in fact they make money for themselves, Xu Zhiyuan, the county magistrate of the new Guangxi system. He had previously looked down on Sheng Zijin because of the factional struggle within the Kuomintang. Now that his interests have been touched, he immediately jumped out to create friction and destroy unity.
Sheng Zijin represents the Kuomintang in northeast Anhui, and he looks down on Xu Zhiyuan and the Japanese army. The conflicts between them are getting deeper and deeper, which is very unfavorable for unity against Japan.
"We must try our best to unite all the forces that can be united..."
Jiang Shangqing and Zhang Aiping could not allow the Kuomintang's internal struggle to undermine the overall situation of unity and anti-Japanese war. Zhang Aiping immediately suggested that Jiang Shangqing promote reconciliation between the two sides.

face-to-face drums, and the two sides shook hands and made peace under the advice of Zhang Aiping and Jiang Shangqing. They both agreed to join hands to fight against Japan. Xu Zhiyuan also vowed to obey Sheng Zijin's instructions in the future.
But no one expected that behind the seemingly peacefulness, Xu Zhiyuan had already become murderous. He was unwilling to be beheaded by Sheng Zijin and was determined to kill him and Jiang Shangqing. After the meeting ended, it was already late. Sheng Zijin was eager to return to the station and took Jiang Shangqing back on the small road. When he arrived at the entrance of Xiaowan Village, Si County, Anhui, the gunshots.
dense bullets shot towards Sheng Zijin and Jiang Shangqing. They were not sure about the other party's background. Jiang Shangqing immediately sacrificed his life to protect the hard-won unity to protect Sheng Zijin's safety.
He fought against the sudden appearance of this armed force with the power of a squad, but because he was not prepared before, Jiang Shangqing was hit several bullets shortly afterwards and died heroically.
Comrade Zhu Boyong, who escorted Sheng Zijin with Jiang Shangqing, also died together. Many progressive people from the journey were also shot and killed. This is the horrifying "Xiaowan Incident".
Jiang Shangqing was only 28 years old when he died. The news of his death shocked northeast Anhui. Comrade Zhang Aiping was shocked when he heard the bad news and fell into deep self-blame.
After the talks that day, Zhang Aiping saw it was getting late and suggested that Sheng Zijin and Jiang Shangqing go back along the road. In order to hurry, Sheng Zijin turned around and took Jiang Shangqing on the road. Zhang Aiping deeply regretted that her failure to persevere made her comrades sacrifice.
Jiang Shangqing's sacrifice is a pity. In order not to waste his efforts, our party immediately put pressure on Sheng Zijin, and Sheng Zijin agreed to establish an office in northeastern Anhui.
Zhang Aiping became the director of the office. He then asked Sheng Zijin for a Kuomintang army of more than 2,000 people trained by Jiang Shangqing during his lifetime and joined the New Fourth Army. It did not waste Jiang Shangqing's efforts.
In 1942, our army annihilated Xu Zhiyuan's reactionary armed forces, and only then did Xu Zhiyuan himself be captured tell the truth about the Xiaowan incident that year.
After Jiang Shangqing's death, his widow Wang Zhelan expressed deep condolences to him with a song "Mourning Jiang Shangqing". Jiang Shijun, who had deep affection, adopted his second son to him and inherited Jiang Shangqing's revolutionary legacy.
1982 The remains of Jiang Shangqing martyr buried in Cuiji were moved back to the Sihong County Martyrs Cemetery. Jiang Zemin brought up this matter when he visited General Zhang Aiping.
What happened back then is vivid in my mind. Jiang Shangqing's sacrifice made General Zhang Aiping sigh. He personally picked up a pen to write the name of the stele for Jiang Shangqing martyr.
In 1985, Comrade Jiang Zemin brought his sister Jiang Zehui to the cemetery to sweep his father's grave. Jiang Shangqing's spirit of willingness to make sacrifices and not afraid of sacrifice is worth learning from later generations.
"He tried to bury the thin bones and often let the heroes sacrifice their blood clothes." When Jiang Shangqing went to North Anhui , he wrote "Self-Mour" for himself before he went to North Anhui . He had already prepared for him and sacrificed his life for the party and the revolution at any time.
2011 is the 100th birthday of the martyr of Jiang Shangqing. On the Qingming Festival that year, " People's Daily " published "Manjianghong·Jiang Shangqing's Birth Festival" written by Comrade Jiang Zemin:
" Since ancient times, heroes have relied on the vast world and the mountains to find the best. Receive ambitions, the iron window is cold, and the pan pond is majestic. The red plum blossoms in Shiling are slaying, and the moon is flying in the sky in the morning, and the cranes are flying in the sky. Ligus rainbow, the ghosts are cold and look at each other, and the soul is thrilling.
songs Yingshang , the flag is shining. Drive the enemy and the dust is soaring evil. Speak to the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the earth Du Yu , the star of the Bei withered. The spring water is green and the wind is warm, and the autumn mountains are red leaves are burning day by day. On Qingming Festival, I will tell the spirits of the past with wine, and the state of China will leap."
Although the martyr of Jiang Shangqing died, the noble cause he loved has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down from generation to generation. Comrade Jiang Zemin took over his mantle and embarked on the revolutionary road, becoming a new generation of "giant holding lamps".
The father and son illuminate our way forward, and their immortal revolutionary spirit is also worth remembering from generation to generation.
Comrade Jiang Zemin has passed away now. Perhaps in another world he can tell his father - the martyr of Jiang Shangqing, Now the country is rich and the people are strong, and this prosperous era is as you wish.
