Li Dingming's life

Li Dingming (1879 ~ 1947) was originally named Feng Gong. Shaanxi mizhi people. When I was a child, my family was poor and I couldn't delay my teacher. In the twenty-first year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1895), I stayed with my uncle to study, learned a subset of classics and history, and also studied medicine. Twenty-nine years (1903), I went to Suide to take the exam and was selected as a student. The following year, he returned to his hometown to teach private schools and taught in Suide Middle School in Xuan Tong for two years (19 10).

After the Revolution of 1911, he supported Sun Yat-sen's political ideas, and advocated setting up foot, cutting hair, banning gambling, breaking superstition and setting up schools in the local area. 19 13 During his tenure as the head of the eastern district of Mizhi County, he used Jinshui Temple to open the first primary school in Mizhi County and concurrently served as the principal. 19 16 was hired as a Chinese and math teacher by Yulin Middle School in Lianhe County, northern Shaanxi.

19 18 returned to his hometown to practice medicine, and founded an ethnic high school in Tao Zhen, with the local people as the principal. 65438-0923, Li served as consultant and section chief of Yulin Daoyin Office.

1926 returned home due to illness to practice medicine and serve local public welfare undertakings. Despite financial constraints, he repeatedly refused the invitation of Ma Xingmin, the big landlord of Yangjiagou, to ask him to be a housekeeper. He is a fair man and upholds justice, so he is very influential in the local area. In many times of "encirclement and suppression" of the revolutionary base areas in northern Shaanxi by Kuomintang counter-revolutionaries, Li served as the director of the "counter-revolutionary" Committee in Mizhi East District.

1935 10 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China led the Red Army's Long March to northern Shaanxi. Due to the influence of China's * * policy and Japanese imperialist aggression and expansion, and the efforts of his students, party member, Ai Chun 'an, Zhang Hanwu and Cao, as well as the persuasion of his second son Li's early participation in the revolution, great changes have taken place in his thoughts.

1937 After the July 7th Incident, he gradually accepted the leadership of Zhong * * *, supported the political proposition of China * * * Producers' Party to unite against Japan, and opposed Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "settling down first when busy outside".

194 1 year, in order to strengthen the construction of democratic political power in the base areas, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region implemented the "three-thirds system" and launched a universal suffrage movement. Li Dingming, representing an enlightened gentleman, was elected as the Speaker of the Senate of Mizhi County and the Senate and Deputy Speaker of the Senate of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.

In the winter of the same year, at the second meeting of the first Council of the Border Region, he was elected as the vice chairman of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government. In his inaugural speech, he sincerely analyzed his thoughts. At this meeting, he contacted ten senators, including Ji, and put forward the idea that the government should comprehensively plan the economy, implement better troops and simplify administration, and avoid the phenomenon of making ends meet and economic disorder.

Mao Zedong attached great importance to this proposal and immediately wrote a comment: "This method is very good, which is the right medicine to transform our bureaucracy, bureaucracy and formalism." With Mao Zedong's support, after full discussion among members of parliament, a resolution was finally passed to streamline the army and simplify administration. The policy of "better troops and simpler administration" was not only implemented in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region, but also extended to various anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, which played a positive role in overcoming difficulties and improving work efficiency.

From 1942 to 1943, according to the geographical and climatic characteristics of northern Shaanxi, Li also put forward measures to develop production, such as intensive cultivation, variety of potatoes, popularization of sericulture, and land reclamation by immigrants.

Li Zhencheng supported the anti-Japanese national united front policy of China Producers' Party. 1in July, 942, when he received a gentleman delegation from northwest Shanxi, he said, "The * * * production party is a progressive party. Although I am 60 years old this year, I have made up my mind to share weal and woe with * *. ..... From the rectification of the three styles by the * * * production party, we can see that the * * * production party is actually cooperating with non-party people, which I am more convinced. "

1943 1 His speech at the symposium of non-party people held by Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the article published in the special issue on July 7th of the same year warmly praised the rectification movement in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

1943165438+10 In the closing speech of the Congress of Labor Heroes held in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, Li enthusiastically praised the Eighth Route Army and said, "I have never seen such an army. Therefore, we must support the army wholeheartedly. "

On 1944, when he saw that the troops in the border area had made great achievements in production saving, he told the reporter excitedly: "For thousands of years, all the soldiers raised by the state wore the clothes of ordinary people and ate their meals, but the Eighth Route Army, apart from fighting, also engaged in production and was self-sufficient to help the people plow in spring and harvest in summer. This is rare in the world. " In February, 65438, he made a special speech on "The Direction of Cultural and Educational Work" at the Second Senate of the Second Session of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and put forward many useful suggestions for literacy, intellectual training and popularization of health knowledge in the border region. Li is very concerned about the changes in the national political situation. Whenever the situation reverses or wins, he often publishes articles or talks. When Chiang Kai-shek launched the third climax against * *, he angrily pointed out that "opposing * * means opposing the Three People's Principles" and "attacking the border region means undermining unity and resisting Japan". He also published the article "Refuting the rumor that I was" dismissed from my post ",exposing the tricks of the Kuomintang die-hards trying to sow discord and undermine the anti-Japanese national United front.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Chiang Kai-shek attempted to launch a full-scale civil war, and China faced two fates and two futures. Li resolutely stood on the side of China's * * * production party and the broad masses of the people, and resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek's civil war dictatorship policy.

1in April, 946, in the election work report made at the third meeting of the Senate in the border region, he denounced Chiang Kai-shek's despicable behavior of turning friends into enemies, launching a civil war, deceiving and inciting people in Kuomintang areas to participate in anti-Soviet, anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-people demonstrations, and called on Democrats and the people of the whole country to unite and fight for peace and democracy. At this meeting, Li continued to be elected as the vice chairman of the border region government.

/kloc-in the spring of 0/947, Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Zongnan invaded the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region on a large scale, and he moved to northern Shaanxi with the border region government. In June+10 of the same year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China promulgated the Outline of China Land Law, which he strongly agreed with, saying: "The * * * production party mobilized the masses, thoroughly divided the fields, and censored cadres and party member. These two policies are extremely great. With these two policies, the success of the China revolution led by the * * * production party will be guaranteed. "

1947 65438+February 1 1 died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in Yihe Town, Suide County, the temporary residence of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government. The border government held a memorial service. The Central Committee, President Mao Zedong and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government all sent eulogies.
