Humanistic introduction of cangji town

Li Shouwei (1903— 1940), whose name is Xinfu, is from Dazhuang Formation, Li Lou Village, Cangji Town, Yanghe New District, Suqian City. There is also his own nephew in the village. The biggest official has a huge photo on the front page of his family tree, so he is the pride of Li. When I was a child, my family was not well-off, and I was very ambitious since I was a child. After studying in a private school for several years, I was introduced and funded by my relatives and entered the staff department of Nanjing Institute of Technology. 1After graduating in the summer of 924, I worked as a lathe worker in the French Concession Dalong Machine Factory, got to know party member countryman Chen, and actively participated in trade union organizations under the influence of his progressive thoughts. Soon he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy (the second phase), then joined the Kuomintang, and once participated in the leftist organization "Young Soldiers Federation". His father is a farmer, and Li Shouwei has five brothers. He lives in a long place, and his second brother, Li Shoukuan, graduated from the Kuomintang Jiangsu Military Police Training Course. Later, he was sent to the training class of officers of Luoyang Branch of Kuomintang Central Military Academy by Jiangsu Provincial Security Department. After graduation, he served as the platoon leader, adjutant and battalion chief of the Kuomintang security forces in Jiangsu Province. His third brother, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, transferred from Zhenjiang Middle School to a middle school in Hankou, Hubei, and then to Zhongshan Middle School in Sichuan. After graduation, it was rumored that he was admitted to Huaxi University in Chengdu and went to Taiwan Province Province with the Kuomintang after liberation. According to later records, he worked as a county magistrate in Taiwan Province Province, and his family settled in the United States in his later years.

1in may, 927, he went to the northern expedition with the third division of the first army of the northern expeditionary army (Shi Gu, chief of staff Han Deqin) and served as battalion commander. 193 1 served as deputy head of the supplementary regiment of the 52nd division of the army (teacher Han Deqin). In July, he participated in the third "encirclement and suppression" campaign in China Soviet area, and was completely annihilated in Fangshiling. After that, he followed Han Deqin to participate in the "suppression * * *" campaign in southern Henan. From 65438 to 0932, Li Shouwei was appointed as the head of the first Jiangsu Security Corps. 1933 was promoted to deputy director of major general. 1934 became one of the leaders of Fuxing society, the peripheral organization of the Kuomintang military system, in Jiangsu. Chiang Kai-shek promoted the "New Life Movement" throughout the country, and Li Shouwei was appointed as the executive director of Jiangsu "New Life Promotion Committee". 1June, 938, Han Deqin served as acting chairman of Jiangsu province and commander of the 89th Army, and served as deputy commander. The following winter, Han Deqin was removed from the post of commander, and Li Shouwei was promoted to lieutenant general commander and president of the Central Military Academy in northern Jiangsu, organization minister of Jiangsu Fuxing Society, secretary general of Jiangsu Province, and standing committee member of the Kuomintang Northern Jiangsu Battlefield Committee.

1July, 940, the new fourth army moved eastward, liberated huangqiao, established the headquarters of the new fourth army in northern Jiangsu, and opened up the anti-Japanese democratic base area in northern Jiangsu. In late September, Han Deqin besieged the New Fourth Army, and Li Shouwei led the main attack. On the evening of October 5th, 65438/KLOC-0, Li Shouwei was completely annihilated and the remnants fled. As soon as he got out of the hole of Huangqiao, he lost his way. At this moment, I saw an old man with a white beard and asked him for directions. The old man said: there are two ways to the northeast. One is from Lugoutou to Yewuji in the north, with Wuli Bridge in the middle; The other is to cross the river from Bachigou and go directly to the northeast. Li Shouwei thought, I can cross the eight-foot ditch with one jump, and the Wuli Bridge is too long. What if there is an ambush by the New Fourth Army? Then he rode to the eight-foot ditch. I didn't know that the eight-foot ditch was a place name, but it was actually called "digging a ruler ditch" because a copper ruler was dug when digging a ditch. This ditch is actually a wide and turbulent river, the Yellow River! Where did Li Shouwei know that? Jump into the ditch first, and the defeated soldiers behind will grab the ponytail, reins,,, and horses. That's a heavy burden? Can only be buried at the bottom of the river with its owner! When riding a horse across the "eight-foot ditch" in the north of Huangqiao, some clan children grabbed the horse and asked to escape with it. Ma Lijing won it, and Li Shouwei and Ma drowned.

The decisive battle of Huangqiao was the key battle for the survival of the New Fourth Army at that time. The battle was won and the New Fourth Army was alive and well. On the one hand, he gained a foothold in northern Jiangsu and seized territory, on the other hand, he got through the contact with the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. From the perspective of the anti-Japanese United front, it is guilty and indefensible for the New Fourth Army to fight against the national army (we call it stubborn army, not puppet army). Li Shouwei, commander of the 89th Army of Han Deqin's own, was stopped by Zhou Jianping, battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, a vertical regiment, and led his troops to take the back road. The battalion commander Zhou personally picked up the machine gun and shot at the officer riding a white horse. The enemy camp was in chaos, and the officer even fell off the bridge eight feet. It was later confirmed that this person was Li Shouwei, commander of the 89th Army. Su Yu and Qiao Xinmin were overjoyed and bought firecrackers. They plan to hold a celebration party in memory of the third battalion. When reporting to Chen Yi, Chen Yi said: "If Li Shouwei doesn't kill him, it is better to take him alive." . Since then, the matter has been mentioned in a unified way: Lieutenant General Onda committed suicide and Lieutenant General Li Shouwei threw himself into the river. In the First World War of Huangqiao, the New Fourth Army annihilated the Kuomintang Han Deqin Group with one army and one brigade, with more than eleven thousand people. Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and the hardliners in the Kuomintang insisted on revenge. Yan' an learned that something had happened to the military in southern Anhui, and ordered Ye and Xiang to immediately lead the army north to become one with Chen and Su. Xiang Ying still has illusions about Chiang Kai-shek and is slow to act. Knowing that Ye and Xiang had gone north without authorization, Jiang was afraid that the New Fourth Army would grow, and ordered an encirclement and suppression on the pretext that the New Fourth Army would not listen to military orders. Therefore, the southern Anhui incident began with the decisive battle of Huangqiao, which broke out three months later, which was the fuse that triggered the southern Anhui incident. Yan' an had to swallow the bitter fruit afterwards, instead of making a fuss and launching a propaganda offensive. Zhou Enlai only wrote a sentence in Xinhua Daily: A leaf in the south of the Yangtze River is a strange injustice through the ages. It can be seen that confidence is insufficient.

Mr. Kaiwu Cang Huanan Zi Huanan (1900- 198 1) was born in Cangji Town, Yanghe New District, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. Born as a landlord, his family owned more than 50 acres of land before liberation. When I was a child, I studied in my hometown, and later I worked in agriculture and business. I set up a six-store business in Cangji Street, and I often travel to and from the north and south of the river, selling peanuts, day lilies, fat pigs and other local products in Zhenjiang, Changzhou and Suzhou, and reselling industrial products such as cloth and cotton yarn to Siyang in the south. Because of his painstaking efforts, diligence and trustworthiness, his career is booming and he has accumulated more and more capital. It is quite famous in Shili Baxiang around Cangji.

Before liberation, people's lives were miserable because of wars and repeated disasters. At the age of "standing", he believed in Christianity, and the locals called him "Big Jesus". He took out a sum of money and built twelve churches at the eastern end of Cangji Street for hundreds of people around him to worship here. Cang South China is kind-hearted, upholding justice, helping the poor, supporting the * * * production party, supporting the revolution, making great contributions to the people's revolution and construction, and being trusted by the party and government and loved by the broad masses. After liberation, he was elected as a representative of Siyang County People's Congress and a member of Siyang County Political Consultative Conference. Helping the poor for the people, South China is willing to engage in charity and care about people's sufferings. People call him a "good man". Although his family used to have more than 50 acres of land, the annual rent was very small. Some tenants will not only rent food but also give relief in case of natural and man-made disasters. As early as before liberation, he took the initiative to distribute most of the land to tenant farmers, so he was called an enlightened landlord. He made a lot of money from business. First, he doesn't have to buy land. Second, he doesn't buy real estate. Instead, he used the money to help the poor. In the old society, there were nine disasters in ten years, and a large number of victims lacked food and clothing. Whenever this happens, he will donate food and money to give relief. During the Spring Festival, he will visit nearby families and send money to deliver meals, especially to the sick, the old, the weak and the disabled, and the relief will be doubled, which will be praised by all ages. Yang, a villager who is over 60 years old, recalled: "I don't know how many good things he did in his life and how many poor people he saved." He saved my life. In addition to sending food and money to the family every year, I also take special care of natural and man-made disasters. 1944 I have malaria and have no money to treat it. It's not good to drag on for a few months. I'm skinny and narrow. I went to the doctor and died. Father was so anxious that he had to go to his house for help. At that time, Cang Huanan agreed and went to see Dr. Wang Pucheng with his father. Wang Dong shook his head again and again, saying it was an incurable disease. He also said: three points to cure the disease, seven points to recuperate, the Yang family is too poor to even eat, and it is useless to take medicine! Cang Huanan asked for medical treatment many times, and he was responsible for all the expenses. At this time, Mr. Wang reluctantly wrote a prescription and took several doses of medicine. Cang Huanan took me to his house, personally decocted medicine for me every day, and cooked delicious meals for me. For several months, I have been well and strong every day. At this time, I asked to go home. Before I left, he made me a suit and gave my family a lot of money and food. During the Chinese New Year, I also sent pork to my family. These things have always been in my heart and will never be forgotten. Like my family, there are many families who have benefited from him, such as Liang Zhutang and Ma Deshan. They have all received his help. " Before liberation, there were frequent disasters here, thieves mushroomed, beggars fled because of famine, and sellers sold children and girls. In such a disaster year, he always gave generously, donating food and porridge to help. At home, a special person cooks porridge and gives each beggar a big bowl every day, which takes care of the elderly, weak women and children. One spring drought, the local market was short of food, so he raised money to buy two ships of food to help the victims in Zhenjiang. 1950 was a disaster year, and people's lives were difficult. Cang Huadong ran south, cooperated with the government and tried his best to help the victims. At that time, the government called for the organization of production to save itself and survive the spring drought. He responded positively and donated ten packages of cotton yarn (each package was worth more than twenty silver dollars at that time) as funds. Zhu, Xue Deshun and others took the lead in organizing the victims to spin and weave. At first, there were only a few dozen households, and later it grew to more than 100 households. Take the method of preserving capital and interest, and turn dead money into living money. This not only made the local victims put down the famine, but also set up textile cooperatives, which became more and more prosperous, saved money and made a lot of profits. Everyone wants to return the cotton yarn to Cang Huanan, but he won't accept any money. Later, the party called for the establishment of cooperatives, and he proposed that the money be owned by the collective as farmers' shares in cooperatives. Whenever it appears. People salute each other. Cangnan worked hard for the masses, doing business and farming, and all the money earned was spent on poverty alleviation. However, he lived a poor life: living in a low hut, wearing coarse clothes, eating humble food and enjoying life. He used to say before his death: "People leave their names, geese leave their voices, and people live in the world, so they should do more for the society and leave a good reputation;" Do your best and don't waste this life. "Mr. Cang Huanan has experienced three dynasties in his life, and he knows the sufferings of the working people in the old society. There is nothing he can do to liberate them and relieve them. It can only be a drop in the bucket and useless. He saw that the * * * production party is dedicated to the people and is the savior of the poor. So he sincerely supports the * * * production party, sympathizes with and supports the revolution. In the arduous revolutionary war years, the Cangji area has not yet established a consolidated democratic regime, and the enemies come and go, forming a seesaw zone, with his prestige in the local area, covering our revolutionary cadres and launching a struggle against the enemy. When some comrades come to his home, he always receives them warmly and makes careful arrangements to ensure safety. In case someone questioned him, he stepped forward, not as his relative, but as his friend. He often keeps close contact with Ma Ren and Lv Fenzhi, cadres of the * * * production party. Even in a bad environment, I am never afraid of taking risks. 1946, Kuomintang reactionaries attacked the liberated areas on a large scale, Siyang fell, and the enemy searched everywhere for the * * * production party. He tried every means to cover up, so that many comrades escaped from the jaws of death and saved the revolutionary forces. On one occasion, a battalion-level cadre of our army died in battle. When he learned about it, he gave a large piece of living materials at home to the martyrs in time. During the Cultural Revolution, some veteran cadres wrestled with each other, and he was very sad. Some so-called rebels asked Mr. Cang Huanan for information and asked him to provide the information of the censor, but he refused. And said: I can't falsely accuse a good man ... Mr. Cang Huanan sincerely cooperates with the producer of * * *, sharing weal and woe and treating each other with sincerity. He was willing to help the poor all his life, supported the party's principles and policies, did many good things for the party and the people, and left a good reputation in the world!

Chen, a native of Luo Zhuang Village, Cangji Town, Yanghe New District, Suqian City, 1888 was born into a landlord family in February. I read four books and five classics first, then went to Huaiyin No.3 Agricultural School, and lost my job after graduation. During the Northern Expedition, influenced by the great revolutionary trend, I entered Wuxi Institute of Social Education. After graduation, he served as social education instructor of Siyang Education Bureau and social education teacher of County Teachers College. During his tenure, he had more contacts with Siyang County Committee. 193 1 year, Iola, head of the underground party committee, was arrested by the enemy. He has been to prison several times and tried to rescue him. Chen Shengru, director of the Education Bureau of the Kuomintang, dismissed all his posts in education in the name of "blood-blooded elements". He refused to accept it, and some progressive youths set up night classes in the prison temple on the east side of Yanghe. Before school started, Donglao Temple was burned down by local bullies. Later, I went to Xiyezhuang in Cangji, and set up a primary school with my own funds to teach the children of poor farmers to read. It was not until 1938 that the Japanese bombed Yanghe that the school was closed. 194 1 year, the anti-Japanese democratic government of Siyang county in Huaibei was established, and he took part in the revolution. Although Chen was born in a landlord family, he was born in an honest and frank way, advocating justice, and was extremely dissatisfied with the warlord scuffle and the squire rampaging through the village at that time. His political views were gradually established and clarified in turbulent times. Instead of drifting with the tide, he consciously embarked on the road of betraying the exploiting class family and moving closer to the working people. After he worked, he learned the method of planting mulberry and sericulture from the old farmers as soon as he was free, and planned to transform the abandoned Yellow River beach. He has a deep affection for farmers, often visiting sick tenants and subsidizing countless medical expenses. Once, he gave the only antler left in his family to a dying patient to save him. He also adopted two orphans for his own, and later sent them to participate in the revolution. On one occasion, his daughter came home from a holiday in Xuzhou Women's Normal College and casually talked about the family difficulties of some classmates. When her daughter returned to school, he deliberately asked her to bring more money to help those students in need. Chen's "unconventional" behavior was criticized by some local people, saying that he destroyed the rules and family in the village. He dismissed the attacks with a contemptuous smile. After 1938, Iola, the head of Siyang Anti-Union, and others often contacted our party in northeast Anhui to carry out anti-Japanese activities. They often stop by Cang Ji's house to stay, study revolutionary theory with him, and learn Chairman Mao's Poems for a Long Time and other books. From then on, he accepted the revolutionary truth and consciously embarked on the revolutionary road. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/940, he first sent his daughter to work in Huaihai District, and then took his son Chen Jian to Huaibei to participate in the revolution. His 14-year-old daughter was sent to Huaihai Military Region Health Center for training, and people praised him as "the father of revolution". 1942 spring, Liu Ruilong, director of Huaibei Administrative Office, sent him back to his hometown to open up an anti-Japanese base area. He widely publicized the party's principles and policies among the masses, enlisted people from all walks of life to participate in the fight against counterfeiting, and mobilized more than a dozen young people to take part in the work. 1June, 942, a large-scale knife riots broke out on both sides of the canal. Under the temptation of the stubborn enemy, the leaders kidnapped and killed the New Fourth Army and local party and government cadres, and their arrogance was very arrogant. The democratic regime in Vision Wei District of Siyang County is seriously threatened. Some people with weak revolutionary will broke away from the revolution and even defected to the enemy. Chen stood firm and took a clear-cut stand, and vigorously exposed the crime of national scum selling their souls. In order to consolidate the anti-Japanese national regime and stabilize the social order on both sides of the canal, he took the initiative to find the secretary of the Siyang County Party Committee to report the situation and volunteered to go behind enemy lines to learn the truth. Relying on the masses, we went deep into the tiger's den, did some work of meeting leaders with knives, won the neutrality of some organizations with knives, made Siyang County Brigade pass through the neutral zone smoothly, defeated Wang Qike's stubborn bandits and the most reactionary leading backbone and their armed forces, and the situation tended to improve. 1942 In September, Huaibei Canal Special Zone was established. Chen, who was nearly sixty years old, took risks and worked hard all day for the establishment and consolidation of the Special Zone. 1943 In April, Chen was elected as the deputy director of the Canal Special Zone Office. In June of the same year, in order to divide and disintegrate the enemy, he went deep into the enemy stronghold of Xiong Wharf for three times and served as the squadron leader of the puppet army. He described the excellent battlefield situation in the liberated areas, expounded the lenient policies of the Party, won over dozens of people, made contributions to the consolidation of Vision Wei District, and paved the way for the development of Shuanghe District and Chengdaokou District. Chen is approachable, hard and simple, and close to cadres and the masses. He is the only "veteran cadre" in the SAR. He rolled up his trouser legs, held a small cigarette bag, and often talked with the masses. During the rally, he played songs with young people. He sang the Trilogy of Exile, and when he was excited, his eyes filled with tears, which deeply touched the audience and aroused people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm. /kloc-in the winter of 0/943, his hometown launched a campaign to reduce rent and interest. His family asked him what to do, and he said, "Do you still need to ask?" According to the decree of border politics, reduce it quickly! He also said to his family, "The land should be given to the poor who have no land to farm, and they will have to work for a living in the future. "1July, 944, he gloriously joined the China * * * producers' party during the rectification study in Huaihai prefectural party committee. After the cancellation of the Canal Special Zone, he became the deputy magistrate of Suqian County. 1In September, 944, the 10th Brigade of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army attacked Lingongdu stronghold, and Chen arrived at Lingongdu overnight as a logistics worker. He didn't sleep well for several days, risked his life to save the wounded and carried the stretcher himself. Chen joined the revolution, the masses supported him, and the party trusted him, but the enemy regarded him as a thorn in his side and offered a reward for his arrest. Under the protection of the organization and the masses, the enemy's plot never succeeded, and he was so angry that he set fire to his house as a threat. Chen paid no attention, and his anti-Japanese will became more determined. According to the loss of his family, the anti-Japanese democratic government allocated special funds to help him rebuild his home. He said, I'm not the only one whose house was burned down by the enemy. I can never ask for such special care. So he used the money to buy guns and ammunition to support local armed forces. 1August, 945, Japan surrendered. At that time, Chen was 57 years old, but he was full of vigor and vitality, actively responded to the call of the party, organized and mobilized the people in the newly liberated areas to save themselves, heal the wounds of war, carry out peace construction, and took the lead everywhere. He often said: "The harder you work, the more you should follow the Party wholeheartedly. As long as there is the leadership of the party, it will surely win. "1in the spring of 946, in order to prevent the Kuomintang reactionaries from breaking their banks in Huayuankou, Henan Province, the Yellow River water was allowed to rush into the canal, replacing soldiers with water and destroying the liberated areas. Suqian County Committee decided that Chen would take migrant workers to repair the riverbank and save people's lives and property on both sides of the canal. The dike restoration project of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is an important measure for the Jiangsu-Anhui border region government to realize peaceful and democratic founding of the country. Chen is the director of the supervision office of river embankment project in Suqian county. Every day, he goes deep into the construction site, travels back and forth for dozens of miles, carefully examines the dikes, grasps the progress of the project, and solves specific problems. Once he went to the construction site in Dasi Township, Zhahe District, where migrant workers were damming. When he closed Longmen, he patiently educated people who burned incense and kowtowed to the Dragon King, saying, "The purpose of damming is to prevent floods and ensure a bumper harvest. We should listen to the party, not blindly believe in the Dragon King, but believe in our own strength. "He and migrant workers share joys and sorrows and eat sorghum pancakes together. Sometimes when you can't drink boiled water, you hold canal water to quench your thirst. Due to overwork, he fell ill, had a high fever, and his lips were chapped and speechless. But in order to cure the flood and benefit the people, he persisted in his work regardless of his illness. After the county leader knew it, he arranged for a doctor to treat him in time, but it was too late. 1946 On May 22nd, Chen died in a temple outside Suqian at the age of 58. Chen died, and the cadres were extremely sad. Huaihai Daily and Xinhua Daily successively published mourning articles. In the mourning article, Gao Feng, secretary of the county party committee, praised him: "I am not confused by political ghosts, but I can recognize the bright direction in a turbulent and gloomy environment. "He joined the revolution and enthusiastically followed the party. His spirit is really hard to get! At noon on June 2 1, 1946, more than 2,000 cadres and masses in Suqian held a memorial service in the palace outside the east gate of Sucheng, and Ma Aiting, deputy county magistrate, gave a eulogy. Organs, schools and mass organizations offer elegiac couplets and wreaths. At five o'clock in the afternoon, a funeral was held and people sent it to the mouth of Dongguan River. The coffin of Deputy County Magistrate Chen got on the boat with tears in his eyes, and his body was buried on the abandoned Yellow River beach in his hometown where he fought before his death. After the meeting, the six secret service agencies in Jiangsu and Anhui ratified Chen as a revolutionary martyr.
