129 years ago today, on September 10, 1896 (August 4, 1896 in the lunar calendar), why was Ye Ting not a Communist Party member for a long time?. Ye Ting (September 10, 1896 ~ April 8, 1937) was formerly known as Ye Xun. On September 10, 1896, Ye Ting was born in a peasant family in Zhoutian Village, Huiyang County, Guangdong Province. In early 1919, he joined the democratic revolution led by Sun Yat-sen and joined the Chinese Nationalist Party in the same year. In 1924, after the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he went to Moscow, Soviet Union, and successively studied in the Communist University of Eastern Workers and the Chinese Class of the Red Army School. He joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League in October of the same year and transferred to the Communist Party of China (CPC) on December 1st of the same year. In September 1925, Ye Ting returned to Guangzhou after completing his studies and participated in the formation of the independent regiment of the Fourth Army with Communist Party members as the backbone, serving as the head of the regiment. During the Northern Expedition in 1926, he led the independent regiment as the advance team, and was known as the "famous general of the Northern Expedition", and his unit was called the "Ye Ting Independent Regiment". On August 1, 1927, Ye Ting was appointed as a member of the Former Enemy Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Together with Zhou Enlai, He Long, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, etc., he led the Nanchang Uprising. After the uprising, he served as the former enemy commander and commander of the 11th Army. On December 11 of the same year, he led the Guangzhou Uprising with Zhang Tailei and Ye Jianying and served as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army. Ye Ting made important contributions to the establishment of the People's Army led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the turning point of the Chinese revolution. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japan in 1937, he supported the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to unite and resist Japan, actively participated in the reorganization of the Red Army guerrillas in eight southern provinces into the newly organized Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and became the commander. In November 1940, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Central China New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army General Command. In January, 1941, the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek clique caused the Southern Anhui Incident, and he was forcibly detained when he was sent to negotiate with the Kuomintang army. Since then, he has spent five years and two months in captivity in Shangrao, Guilin, Chongqing, Enshi and other places. After the victory of War of Resistance against Japan, Ye Ting was released on March 4, 1946 after the struggle and rescue of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the peace negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. On April 8th, Ye Ting went from Chongqing to Yan'an to attend the reorganization meeting of the whole army. He was killed in Heicha Mountain, Xing County, Shanxi Province due to a plane crash on the way. His body was buried in the April 8th Martyrs Cemetery in Yan'an. Ye Ting, then the commander of the New Fourth Army, served as the commander of the Independent Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army (i.e. Ye Ting Independent Regiment), the commander of the 24th Division, and the commander of the 11th Army during the First Civil Revolutionary War. In 1934, Ye Ting, the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance organized by Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu in Hong Kong, took a group photo of his family: from left to right, Ye Ting, eldest son Ye Zhengda, second son Ye Zhengming, fourth son Ye Huaming, eldest daughter Ye Yangmei, second daughter Ye Jianmei and wife Li Xiuwen (embracing seventh cotyledon Ye Zhengke). Reading: Why hasn't Ye Ting been a Communist Party member for a long time? Chen Shiju, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, talked about why Ye Ting was not a Communist Party member for a long time? Ye Ting is the superior of my father Chen Shiju. He held important positions in the army for a long time, but he was not a Communist for a long time. My father knows Ye Ting very well. When he talked about Ye Ting's unique situation in the late 1970s, he said, "Ye Ting is 13 years older than me. He was born in a farmhouse in Huiyang County, Guangdong Province in 1896. His father opened a small pharmacy and worked in Nanyang. Strictly speaking, Ye Ting is an overseas Chinese general. He was still in middle school at the age of 15. It was the Revolution of 1911 that he took the lead in cutting braids and went to jail. He was released soon. Later, he was admitted to Hubei Army Preparatory School and Baoding Military Academy, the highest military institution in China, which Chiang Kai-shek also attended. Later, he was influenced by New Youth magazine edited by Chen Duxiu and began to yearn for revolution. "Ye Ting served as the battalion commander of the second battalion of Sun Yat-sen's guard regiment. When Chen Jiongming's' rebellion 'bombarded the presidential palace, Ye Ting was a hero who protected Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling from danger, so he won Sun Yat-sen's trust. In 1924, Sun Yat-sen trained Ye Ting as a military talent of the Kuomintang and asked him to study in the Soviet Union. He was influenced by Li Dazhao and Communist Party members among his classmates at Oriental University, and asked to join the Party in the Soviet Union and was approved. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Ye Ting led the independent regiment to go out of southern Hunan as a pioneer, and won successive battles and captured Wuchang all the way. He was promoted to major general by the National Government as the head of the regiment. Subsequently, the regiment was expanded into two divisions, and he served as the commander of the 24th Division. In December 1927, the Guangzhou Uprising played the banner of 'Red Army' for the first time, and he served as commander-in-chief. In just two days, the Guangzhou Uprising failed. At the beginning of 1928, under the actual auspices of Li Lisan, the uprising was described as useless, saying that Ye Ting had made the mistakes of military speculation and blindness, wavered at a critical moment, and failed to command the uprising. The leaders of the central uprising were given various punishments, and Ye Ting, the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, was placed on probation for six months. Ye Ting ran away from Western Europe in a rage and broke away from the party. "Ye Ting was a little desperate when he first arrived in Germany. Soon, Zhou Enlai, who attended the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Moscow, went back to China via Europe and saw Ye Ting in Berlin. The two men had a heart-to-heart conversation. Ye Ting perked up again. He knew that Germany was a military power, and wanted to study military affairs there, and then returned to China to work. "Ye Ting studied while opening a restaurant in Germany. He made a special inspection of the German Army, further studied new military science, mastered knowledge about engineering and other aspects, and studied blasting technology. After five years in Europe, Ye Ting returned to Macao." After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Ye Ting rushed to Yan'an without hesitation, and the Communist Party greeted him with high standards. Mao Zedong personally presided over the welcome meeting held in the Anti-Grand Auditorium. However, the Communist Party also has rules. If you leave the Party, you can't re-join the Party soon, and you have to accept the test of the Party for a long time. Entrusted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Ye Ting negotiated with the Kuomintang as a non-party member, reorganized the Red Army guerrillas in eight southern provinces into the New Fourth Army, and served as the commander. However, Ye Ting was not comfortable in the New Fourth Army. As we all know, this is an open secret, that is, his relationship with Xiang Ying, secretary of the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China, is tense. "Before the Southern Anhui Incident, Ye Ting was already wary of the Kuomintang. On January 5, 1941, the troops of the New Fourth Army arrived in Maolin area, and it rained heavily. Ye Ting said that to be alert to the Kuomintang, in order to avoid becoming a turtle in a jar, it is best to change the route, not to climb the mountain from the southeast to Jingde, but to march eastward from the southwest and then to the north. However, Xiang Ying disagreed and marched according to the line designated by the Kuomintang. At the foot of Piling, the 40th and 144th divisions of the Kuomintang attacked frantically. The New Fourth Army was very brave, fought bloody battles and fought fiercely for several days. In the end, it suffered heavy losses because it was outnumbered. Ye Ting was captured. Chiang Kai-shek immediately bitten back, announcing the 'mutiny' of the New Fourth Army, canceling the designation of the New Fourth Army, and dismissing the general commander Ye Ting and handing him over to military law for trial. Knowing the weight of Ye Ting, Chiang Kai-shek personally came forward to persuade Ye Ting to surrender. Ye Ting's answer is' Please shoot me! ' "Ye Ting was imprisoned for several years and changed several prisons. Chiang Kai-shek thought that he might be softened after suffering enough, and ordered to be taken to Chongqing. Ye Ting still didn't give in, and wrote a famous prison poem in Chongqing, which was widely circulated. It is the song 'The door for people to enter and leave is locked, and the hole for dogs to climb out is open...'" My father said: "Because of the long-term negotiations of the CPC Central Committee, Ye Ting, who was imprisoned for five years, was released in March 1946.
