Martyr story

Liu Martyr, formerly known as Liu Jian, was born in Sok Li, Xu Dong Township, Luofu City. He is brave and straightforward, irritable and wronged. His father, Liu, and his mother, Zhang, have two sisters, one brother and one sister. There are seven people in the family. They live in poverty and find life difficult.

When he 13 was in primary school, he dropped out of school because of poverty. Later, he and his uncle (the adjutant of Liu, a member of the Kuomintang army) worked together as orderlies in the army. After three years in the army, he saw that the Kuomintang was politically corrupt and distracted, and felt that there was no future in this way. He left the army and went home to farm, grinding beans and selling bamboo at leisure. Later, he worked as a militia in Xu Tiancun under Xie Ziyao. Because Xie set up checkpoints in the village to collect taxes and imposed heavy taxes, he was very dissatisfied with the heavy taxes and deeply sympathized with the businessmen, so he let the businessmen who had not paid taxes go. Later, Xie Ziyao found out and fired him, so he took a barge shell privately and left angrily. At that time, the revolutionary fire had reached Daxin, and the Daxin Soviet government had been established. * * Village, Liu and Liu participated in the revolution, and followed Liu and Liu Aihuan to Daxin Soviet Area to participate in the revolutionary work. After joining the revolutionary ranks, Wen Chuan was brave and active, and often carried out revolutionary activities in Daxing 'anling, Shimen, Xia Trading Company and other places, and was later promoted to be the platoon leader of the barge team.

During the period of 1927, Xie Ziyao set up a checkpoint in Xutian Village to collect taxes and extort money from the masses, which made him dissatisfied with the article. He hated it in his eyes, filled with indignation and resentful. So, at dawn one day, he came home with a gun in person and killed Xie and Xie on the spot. Later, he went to Luogang Xia Lan to catch Daxin's elder sister-in-law, which solved the economic difficulties in the revolutionary activities at that time.

1928, led the Red Army and Red Guards to attack the new house of Lai Gangu, the original owner of the rock, in Luofu Yixing. That winter, he attacked the militia of Danzhu Building in Lingfeng. After the bullets were captured, they led the Red Guards to attack the Luofuqiao Yundang. He led the Red Army to attack the Louvre three or four times. He often said to the soldiers, "Don't be afraid of fighting. As the saying goes, plowing is afraid of shit, and being a soldier is afraid of death. We turn over for the poor and are not afraid of beheading. It would be glorious if we died for the revolution. " Therefore, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and was promoted to company commander. When going out to war, he often rode a horse or mule, taking the lead, and a doctor, Wang Senxiong, also rode a mule with him.

Since Comrade Wen Chuan joined the revolution, the reactionary leaders in Xingning have been afraid of him and hated him. For example, Chen Yaogu led troops to Shi Cun twice, threatening to set fire to the house and take away his neighbors. As a result, people sold three kinds of crops in Wen Chuan's old house and redeemed eight people who were arrested. Wen Chuan's family has fled, and all the furniture and other things are gone, leaving only two rotten houses.

On September 26th, 1929, the Red Army in Daxin Soviet Area, led by battalion commander Guobiao Zhang, joined forces with more than 3,000 Red Guards and attacked Luogang from the left, middle and right directions. Liu, the company commander, led the Red Guards from the left-wing Lotus Village, but at that time, Chen Yaogu's troops joined forces with the enemy at the Luogang Club and arrived at Lotus Village to stop our left-wing troops from advancing. Because the enemy's weapons are numerous and sophisticated, we only have gunpowder guns and soil guns. If our army can't win, we will order a retreat. On the way forward, Comrade Liu leaned against the big pine tree with two mauser guns and fought fiercely with the enemy to cover the retreat of the Red Guards and stop the enemy's pursuit. As a result, he died heroically in the enemy's intensive gunfire, when he was only 22 years old.

Many years have passed, and the people in my hometown still cherish the memory of Zeng Martyr and cherish the memory of this Yangzhou-born pioneer of labor movement in various ways. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, journalists had the honor to have face-to-face contact with people returning from Shanghai and Baoji.

Zeng Meiyun, who just retired, is the eldest daughter of Zeng's adopted son Zeng. Zeng Meiyun recalled that many soldiers were killed in the "27" strike, and the local people were very concerned about the descendants of the martyrs, especially her family. After her biological mother died, her father used to be a train driver and often traveled on business. The neighbors took the initiative to take her and her brother back to live.

This time, Zeng's four children all came back. They all say that their dead father is a rare stubborn old man, and he will never let them touch the light of his grandfather. During the period of 1957, he left Wuhan to work in Baoji Locomotive Depot, Shaanxi Province, and leaders from Hubei Federation of Trade Unions and Zhengzhou Railway Bureau went to express their condolences. At that time, Lin Xiangqian's two grandchildren were taken care of and arranged to work in Jiang 'an Machine Factory. Considering that there were three unemployed children, the organization also hopes to help solve the practical difficulties of the Zeng family. Who knows that he didn't mention anything, but told the visitors that his family had no difficulties. The eldest daughter, Zeng Meiyun, heard about it when she came back from work, and advised her father not to be stubborn. Who knows, as soon as I opened my mouth, I stared: I didn't let my children take care of things at home, and lied to her that solatium had left Baoji. In fact, those people are still waiting in the hotel and have changed their minds.

1983, the 60th anniversary of his death. The All-China Federation of Trade Unions and the Trade Union of the Ministry of Railways sent people to Zeng's home to offer condolences. Seeing that several members of his family still lived in an old house that was less than 20 square meters and was about to be demolished, they immediately instructed the trade union of Baoji Locomotive Depot to improve the housing conditions of the descendants of the martyrs as soon as possible. I heard that the unit was going to divide the house, and I quietly moved the accounts of my unmarried youngest son and daughter to the collective accounts of their respective units. Only the names of myself and his wife (later married) were left in the account book, and finally I got a small house of 34 square meters. At that time, many neighbors said they had been a fool, but they did not agree.

I was very strict with my children and never allowed them to pretend to be descendants of martyrs. In this regard, the youngest daughter once felt the deepest. Zeng, 17 years old, graduated from Baoji Railway Middle School. According to regulations, the descendants of martyrs can apply not to go, and she can stay in Baoji. After learning about Zeng's life experience, the school teacher took the initiative to find Zeng and said that he had met the care conditions. But I insisted on letting my daughter go, saying that Grandpa Zeng was not even afraid of sacrifice, and we could not lose the face of our ancestors. He personally sent his little daughter to the hard Qishan county, encouraged her to behave well in the countryside and strive for the first batch to enter the city. 1993, in his seventies, he submitted an application for joining the party to the retirement office of the locomotive depot, saying that he would make contributions to the party and the people in his later years and make better use of his afterheat, just like his father did. Unfortunately, not long after, he was paralyzed in bed because of cerebral hemorrhage and died on 1997.

Influenced by his father, several of Zeng's children have led a strong life. After graduating from Baoji Textile School, Zeng Meiyun, the eldest daughter, was assigned to the twelfth cotton mill in Shaanxi. With her own efforts, she became a famous business leader in the factory, and was the head of the labor department in the factory before she retired. The eldest son, Zeng, is an honest bricklayer in a property company. A few years ago, his husband and wife were laid off. So far, he and his two unmarried sons live in a 34-square-meter public house left by his father. They never make any demands on the organization and silently overcome all kinds of difficulties in life; The youngest son, Zeng Guo Yue, suffers from polio, so it is not convenient to walk. For decades, he has been working as a maintenance worker in Baoji Locomotive Depot. The youngest daughter Zeng is 48 years old. She is a front-line worker of Baoji Power Supply Bureau. When the husband is laid off, the family expenses depend entirely on income. Her son suffers from congenital epilepsy, and the monthly drug cost is several hundred yuan. Her mother-in-law has diabetes and needs someone to wait on her. Everyone else is worried about her, but she is not pessimistic at all. She said that no matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as Grandpa Zeng's life. The unit often takes exams such as taking posts, and she has never fallen behind. Reporter's related links
