Luogenmo (October 18, 1908 - September 12, 2008) is a famous revolutionary and economist in our country. Originally named Ding Shitong, his name was Ding Longxiao, and he was once named Li Kangfeng, Li Zheng, and Li Baimeng. He is from Hengshan Village, Yuqian, Zhejiang (now Lin'an, Zhejiang). After graduating from Yuqian County Higher Education Primary School in the winter of 1922, he was admitted to Zhejiang Provincial Class A Business School (predecessor of Zhejiang Business Vocational and Technical College with excellent results) with excellent results.
While he was in school, he studied his studies tirelessly and enriched his scientific and cultural knowledge; while actively participating in social movements and striving to save peace in the motherland.

In the second half of the year, under his participation and leadership, he launched a struggle to oppose the implementation of feudal autocratic management methods of school supervisors and oppose the appointment of incompetent teachers by principals. Before his studies were over, the clarion call of the Northern Expedition was blown from South China to East China. In February 1927, the 17th Army of the National Revolutionary Army entered Hangzhou. He resolutely joined the army and became a propagandist in the Political Department of the 2nd Division of the 17th Army.

After returning to Zhejiang in August, he participated in the establishment of the Youth League branch and served as the branch secretary. In September, he served as secretary of the Communist Youth League’s district committee in Hangzhou, responsible for the work of the Communist Youth League in schools across the city. In November of the same year, the Hangzhou Party and Youth League organizations were successively destroyed. Because of the betrayal of the traitor, he was arrested and detained in the "Zhejiang Army Prison" in Hangzhou. During his more than 6 years of iron window career, he secretly insisted on self-studying the basic theoretical knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, pursuing political economy, laying a solid theoretical foundation for future revolutionary work, and at the same time, he compiled the "China Economic Intelligence Supplement" with his prison friend Xue Muqiao and others. After he was released from prison, he went to Shanghai to engage in economic research and collaborated with Qian Junrui to publish his first economic short review under the pseudonym of "Zhu Xinzhan". After that, he became uncontrollable. He began to make his mark in the economics community, wrote a large number of economic commentaries under the pseudonym of "Luo Gengmo", criticized the Kuomintang's economic policies, exposed the darkness of society, engaged in the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement, and promoted the revolution. In 1938, Luo Gengmo joined the Communist Party of China and served as a member of the United Front Work Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, secretary of the Cultural Work Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and a member of the Cultural Work Committee of the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China. During this period, he instructed Communist Party member Wang Wenshi Yu Qianhe Village to establish the National Daily, and initiated the organization of Zhejiang's fellow villagers to return home to the countryside, founded the "Mobilization Weekly", "Anti-Construction Forum", "Southeast Front", "South Anhui People" and other publications to promote the Party's anti-Japanese national united front and promote the national democratic revolution movement. After the Southern Anhui Incident, Luo Gengmo entered the anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines in Yancheng, northern Jiangsu, and served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance and Economics of the New Fourth Army. Since then, he has devoted himself to revolutionary economic work. From 1941 to 1949, he participated in leading local financial and military supply work in liberated areas such as northern Jiangsu, central China, and eastern China. He served as deputy secretary of the Finance Committee of the Party Committee of the North Jiangsu and director of the Finance Department of the Administrative Office of Yanfu District, director of the Suzhou-Zhejiang Military Region and Central China Military Region, logistics director of the Third Field East Line Corps, member and secretary-general of the Finance Committee of the China-Year-Second and Second Field General Committee.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Luo Gengmo served as member, secretary-general, and deputy director of the East China Finance Committee. In 1954, he served as deputy director of the National Planning Commission and also served as a member of the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a researcher at the Institute of Economics. In 1981, he served as an advisor to Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a member of the Economics Discipline Evaluation Group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee. In 1982, he was hired as a graduate professor and doctoral supervisor of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Since 1990, he has undertaken the "Theoretical Analysis of the Characteristics of Commodity Economy in the Primary Stage of Socialism in my country" and the "An Investigation and Typical Investigation Report on my country's Economic System Reform over the past decade".
Luo Gengmo was in the arduous revolutionary war years, while serving as a heavy leadership work, he began to engage in economic theory research since the 1930s and wrote endlessly. Since then, in the more than 40 years since the founding of in , it has achieved fruitful results and has made great contributions. On the one hand, he participated in the planning and management of national economic construction, and on the other hand, he studied Marxist economic theory in depth and systematically, while focusing on the research of economic policies and exploration of basic theories of political economy, and especially in-depth research on basic theories that have great guiding significance for the reform and development of the current economic system. For example, the important issues facing China's fiscal and economic economy, such as commodity currency relations, production labor relations, value and price, profit and land rent issues, and its political and economic research has become one of the theoretical schools of political economy in my country.
Luo Gengmo worked tirelessly and devoted himself to academic research, with fruitful results. From the 1930s to the 1990s Luo Gengmo published dozens of papers on revolutionary and economic theory. Judging from the content of the paper, it can be roughly divided into three stages: the first stage was before the founding of New China. At this stage, Luo Gengmo used the Marxist political economy perspective to conduct in-depth research on the serious problems in the development of China's rural economy in semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, pointing out that only by overthrowing the feudal and imperialist systems can China's economy have a way out; the second stage was established by the late 1970s. During this stage, Luo Gengmo boldly discussed the economic laws and major economic issues in my country's transitional period, pointing out that during the transitional period, our country's economy includes three economies: state-owned economy, capitalist economy and individual economy. They each have their own economic laws. Only by following their economic laws can the economy develop effectively; the early stages of reform and opening up to the 1990s were the third stage. During this stage, Luo Gengmo systematically studied major issues such as economic components, product distribution and exchange relationships, industrial and commercial products planning and distribution and market circulation, productivity and production relations, and played a positive role in promoting my country's establishment of the socialist market economic system and the prosperity of the socialist market economy theory.
