Chairman Mao went to the hospital to see Guan Xiangying and was driven out of the ward by the nurse. The young nurse: Looks like a leader

Guan Xiangying was recuperating in this hospital. It has a lot to do with Chairman Mao: in 1940, because of his active work He became sick from overwork and his physical condition was not ideal. For his health, the chairman had to personally "order" Guan Xiangying to return to Yan'an to heal his injuries. This seemingly plain concern, buried underneath is Comrade Guan Xiangying extraordinary and moving. Revolutionary career.

Comrade Guan Xiangying

Young Talents

Guan Xiang was born in a Manchu peasant family in Jinxian County, Liaoning Province in 1902. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese seized him Russia’s privileges in Northeast China,His hometown was also reduced to a Japanese colony and enslaved education was practiced.

The Russo-Japanese War

When he was in school, Guan Xiangying entered a school founded by a Japanese to teach Chinese people, and later he was promoted to a Dalian public school. What the Japanese teach is nothing more than boasting about Japan and enslaving China.

But Guan Xiangying, a young man, was not poisoned by this kind of thinking. Under the strong contrast of witnessing the harassment of the elders in his hometown and the people's lack of livelihood, Guan Xiangying's will has become stronger and he is determined to expel the invaders and liberate the people.

After graduating from public school, he was arranged to serve in a Japanese shop. Not long after I worked, I resigned because of conflicts with the Japanese. He said: "Being a Chinese, you must have backbone!" After several years of instability, Guan Xiangying transferred to work at Taidong Daily, ushering in a turning point in his fate.

In the old society, newspapers were a node where the thinking was more advanced in comparison, and many opinions were exchanged and collided here. During his work here, Guan Xiangying came into contact with many progressive books, newspapers and periodicals.

In 1923, he met Li Zhenying and Chen who came to the newspaper to carry out the revolution, and joined the Chinese Communist Youth League through their introduction.

In May 1924, he followed Li Zhenying to Shanghai while helping them to go to Shanghai for revolutionary work. In September, he was sent to study at Moscow Oriental University . Before leaving, Guan Xiangying wrote a letter to his family he hadn’t seen for many years. There was a sentence in the letter : “'Span4span, the rise and fall of the world, everyone is responsible.'Do everything you can to save the people from ill-treatment, sacrifice their families, and fight desperately against the international imperialists. _Span5span fully embodies his lofty aspirations.

In 1925, the "May 30th" Movement broke out, Guan Xiang should be ordered to return to China and work in the Communist Youth League Committee of the Eastern Hudong District of Shanghai. Later, he moved to Shandong and Henan. Served as the secretary of the Communist Youth League prefectural committee.

Over the past few years, he has been a chef, a hawker, and a worker, and he has exhausted the hardships of the world. The rewards for his hard work, except for the needs of life, were all taken by him. _Span5span

May Thirty Movement

With the progress of the Northern Expedition, warlords everywhere began to notice this force that cannot be underestimated. In 1927, Guanxiang should I went to Shandong and started to rebuild the organization that was destroyed by Zhang Zongchang. With his efforts, many factories restored the regiment organization in half a year.

Compared with organizational construction, Guan Xiang should be in the party The construction of the ideological level also made outstanding contributions. In 1927, after the "April 12" and "July 15" counter-revolutionary coups, through the August 7th Conference, the "Right" tendency represented by Chen Duxiu's faction was corrected, but the left-leaning Mistakes began to clamor again. There were also many voices in the Communist Youth League.

In 1927, when Guan Xiangying, then head of the Communist Youth League Central Organization Department, Ren Bishi, secretary of the Central Executive Bureau of the Coordinating League, began to rectify the Communist Youth League and advocated the reduction of the Communist Youth League. The “avant-garde” that maximized the party’s “eliminationism” and questioned the party’s leadership capabilities, and the “vanguardism” that led all affairs with the League as the core was effectively curbed, and stabilized the situation of the Communist Youth League at an important juncture in the Chinese revolution. Stopped the spread of wrong ideas and played an important role.

Later, Guan Xiangying presided over the work of the Communist Youth League Central Committee and established various working departments of the Communist Youth League Central Committee.In Shanghai, he published "Lenin Youth", "Young Pioneer" and other magazines aimed at young people, making outstanding contributions to spiritual construction.

was accidentally arrested

After the 1930s, white terror shrouded the land of China. Due to changes in the form of the revolution, coupled with the false guidance of the Communist International , left-leaning errors continued to spread within the party. The Politburo meeting on June 11, 1930 passed the plan for a national central city uprising centered on Wuhan by Li Lisan, and became a landmark meeting where leftist dominance prevailed. Guan Xiangying was appointed as a member of the CPC Central Committee Action Committee and was transferred to Wuhan in early August.

As the Wuhan uprising was continuously planning, the white terror escalated further. Many comrades sent to Wuhan by the party were brutally murdered, and Li Lisan's adventurism hit a wall everywhere. At this time, Zhou Enlai and Zhai Qiubai returned from Moscow to convey the news of stopping the Wuhan riots and successfully prevented the party from being injured.

Due to the tense situation in Wuhan, Guan Xiangying who remained in Wuhan to continue fighting had to withdraw to Shanghai. At that time, Wang Ming's momentum in the party was extremely high. He engaged in adventurism and carried out cruel struggles and blows against comrades who disagree, causing everyone in the party to be at risk.

In January 1931, due to opposition to Wang Ming's left-leaning adventurism and discussing the Communist International's involvement in reorganizing the Central Committee, Guan Xiangying was demoted to an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and went to work in the Shanghai Workers' Union.

Wang Ming

However, shortly after taking office, the Shanghai Workers’ Union was destroyed because of the betrayal of the traitor. Guan Xiangying was improperly arrested, but because he was unyielding and unyielding in the face of interrogation. Don't be afraid, let your identity not be exposed for the time being.

In addition, a confidential document was taken away during the search, which not only made it possible to reveal the identity, but also seriously threatened the safety of other work in the party.

Knowing that Guan Xiangying was arrested, Zhou Enlai was very anxious.Important instructions were immediately given, allowing Central Teco Chen Geng to rescue them quickly.

Multi-party rescue

Chen Geng first contacted Yang Dengying, the "KMT Central Commissioner in Shanghai," Yang Dengying, who was an agent of the Chinese Communist Party at the time and had extremely extensive contacts. He first contacted Lampson, the inspector of the patrol house in the British concession, to inquire about the situation, and learned several important news: Guan Xiangying’s identity was not revealed; and that document, due to its complicated content and a large number of words, was not familiar with Chinese The British worry about it every day, and have not yet figured out the contents of the file. The Kuomintang tried to take the document several times but was rejected by the British. They wanted to monopolize the document.

Yang Dengying

This situation gives the rescue mission a great advantage. Zhou Enlai instructed: "Let's start with this batch of documents!" In this way, the party began to take action to rescue Guan Xiangying.

Chen Geng sent his assistant Liu Ding as an "expert" invited by Yang Dengying to help the British process documents.

Liu Ding carefully checked the documents, took away all the important parts, and told the British: The person arrested by is a scholar, and those documents are all academic documents, which are of little value to espionage. Seeing that he was not a "criminal", the British handed him over to the Kuomintang and detained him in Longhua Prison.

Once Guan Xiangying arrived at Longhua Prison, he became an important object of protection for the Communist Party branch in the prison. During his stay in prison, the party branch did not arrange any tasks for him, and made every effort to protect his identity from being exposed. Soon after, the intelligence personnel found Chen Zhigao, Chen Qishou and his sons who were progressive in thinking, rescued Guan Xiangying, and made a comeback in the contest with the Kuomintang.

Opening up the world

Soon after he was released from prison, in early 1932, Guan Xiangying arrived at the Western Hunan and Hubei Revolutionary Base to participate in the construction of the base. Before his arrival, Red Army had just been forced to evacuate to the western Hunan and Hubei base areas.As the "Left" trend was still spreading, Xia Xi, secretary of the Central Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Hunan and Hubei at the time, mistakenly abolished the party, regiment and political organs in the Red Army and implemented the expansion of counter-revolutionaries, which caused the Red Army to lose many outstanding achievements Talents. Coupled with the crazy encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army, the situation is very difficult.

After Guan Xiangying arrived, in order to rebuild the party's organization, he ran between the companies, personally presided over the registration of party members, organized party branches, and formulated the military's political work system.

In the hearts of almost every soldier, there is this committee member who wears straw shoes, eats and sleeps every day, and shares the joys and sorrows with them. Through his efforts, the base area has been stabilized and developed.

After the Red Army entered Guizhou, in October 1934, with the approval of the Central Committee, the number of the Red Second Army was restored. At the same time, the Central Committee sent He Long, Ren Bishi, and Guan Xiang to command the Red Second and Sixth Army to correct local mistakes.

After a year of hard work, the appearance of the western Hunan-Hubei base area has been completely renewed. The "Left" error has been corrected, and the enemy's multiple encirclement and suppression efforts have been smashed at the same time. It has retained vital power for the victory of 's Long March .

In November 1935, the Red Second and Sixth Army rectified their morale and began the Long March. During the Long March, the Second Red Army led by comrades Guan Xiangying resolutely stood on the side of the Party Central Committee and, together with other troops, resolutely fought against Zhang Guotao and others' actions to split the party and split the red army, and It has been supported by many cadres and soldiers. After their efforts, the Red Second and Fourth Front Army marched north together, and joined forces in Gansu in October 1936.

Guan Xiangying is not only superb in literary literacy, but also in military literacy. In the next few years, he focused on the political and ideological construction of the army, doing ideological work for soldiers and cadres, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he followed General He Long to fight against the Japanese invaders, Lingshou Chenzhuang fought and killed Lieutenant General. Kihide Abe is his honorable medal. Both the Yan'an newspapers and the front lines of the War of Resistance against Japan left his traces.

said He Long,We have to mention the profound revolutionary friendship between Guan and He. In 1932, when Guan Xiangying participated in the establishment of the Western Hunan and Hubei base areas, he began to work with He Long. At the Fengxiangxi meeting to correct the left-leaning mistakes, Guan Xiangying’s capable image left a very deep impression on He Long, and He Long praised the committee member sent by the Central Committee.

During the war, they learned from each other's strengths and cooperated with each other to achieve good results. As He Long recalled in "Cry Xiangying": "Whether we are on the battlefield or at work, we are always born to die... We can't remember when we are not together or when we are separated from each other."

Later, after He Long’s wife became pregnant, Guan Xiangying asked Guan Xiangying to give the child a name. Guan Xiangying said: "Didn't we often talk about Yue Fei, Yue Fei's word "Pengju", I think Pengju "Peng" and Yue Fei's "Fei", so how about "Peng Fei"? _Strong9strong After the child was born, Guan Xiangying gave the milk powder and nutritional supplements that he had given him to the child. He Long wanted to stop him, he said: "The child is the successor of the revolution. This old man should also be left behind. There is no son, don’t you always say congratulations and Guan together! Peng Fei is my son!”
