138 years ago today, June 10, 1887 (April 19, 1887, the lunar calendar), he was already a member of the Communist Party of China before it was established. Wang Weizhou Wang Weizhou was born on June 10, 1887 in Qingxichang, Dongxiang County, Sichuan Province (renamed Xuanhan County in 1914). In his early years, he left his hometown to work in Chengdu. Later, he was admitted to Chengdu Engineering School part-time work and study, and participated in the Sichuan "Road Protection Movement". Soon after, he returned to Dongxiang to establish the "Dongxiang Road Protecting Comrades Army". On November 30, 1911, Wang Weizhou served as the commander-in-chief of the Dongxiang Armed Uprising, captured Dongxiang County and declared Dongxiang's independence. The Dongxiang Military Government was established on December 2, 1911, and Wang Weizhou served as the garrison captain of the Dongxiang Military Government. In April 1913, Wang Weizhou was admitted to the Chengdu Garrison Officer School. After graduation, he returned to Suiding Prefecture to serve as Suiding Garrison Commander. In 1915, Yuan Shikai prepared to restore himself and declare himself emperor. After Wang Weizhou learned of this, he immediately organized a defense of the country in Suiding to discuss Yuan's army and served as commander of the first column. In 1917, Sun Yat-sen established a law-abiding government in Guangzhou and launched a law-abiding movement. Wang Weizhou immediately changed the National Defense Army into the Yasukuni Army and served as battalion commander, later as regiment commander and border commander of Fengjie County. Later, Wang Weizhou saw the chaotic situation of Sichuan warlords dominating each other and determined to leave the old army and seek the truth of saving the country and the people. After the outbreak of the May 4th Movement in 1919, Marxism brought new hope to the China people. In May 1920, Wang Weizhou came to Shanghai. While seeking the truth of saving the country and the people, he met Kim Li, a member of the Communist Party of Korea. Under Jin Li's introduction, in May 1920, Wang Weizhou joined the Communist Party of Korea in Shanghai and participated in the work of the Shanghai branch of the Communist Party of Korea, becoming one of the earliest Communist Party members in China. In the summer of 1920, Wang Weizhou was ordered to study in Soviet Russia. At that time, the young Soviets were suffering a joint attack by the armies of Western imperialist countries. The country was extremely short of supplies and food, and they could only supply half a pound of black bread per person per day. Wang Weizhou and others actively responded to Lenin's call to "implement compulsory labor on Saturday" and often endured hunger to participate in voluntary labor to support the front line and the Red Army. On the fourth anniversary of the victory of the October Revolution in 1921, Wang Weizhou participated in the Red Square celebrations in Moscow and listened to Lenin's speech. He felt it deeply and would never be unforgettable. In the spring of 1922, Wang Weizhou returned to Beijing and together with the famous revolutionary educator Wu Yuzhang and others organized the "Red Heart Society" and the "Russian Disaster Relief Association" to promote Marxism and the October Revolution and raise funds to support Soviet Russia. In the autumn of the same year, he came to Shanghai again. Due to the assassination of Jin Li by the North Korean reactionaries, Wang Weizhou lost his organizational relations and independently carried out revolutionary propaganda in Shanghai and carried out fundraising and relief activities for Soviet Russia, and sent the donated materials to Moscow. Just as Wang Weizhou was carrying out planned revolutionary activities in Shanghai, he received an urgent telegram: "My mother is critically ill and quickly returns to Sichuan." Wang Weizhou had to leave Shanghai. In the spring of 1923, Wang Weizhou returned to his hometown of Qingxichang, Xuanhan County, and served as the principal of Hongwen Primary School. Wang Weizhou also established a communist group in Qingxichang in the same year (this was the first communist group in eastern Sichuan) to actively publicize Marxism and carry out revolutionary activities, and trained a large number of cadres for the revolution. Statue of Wang Weizhou In 1927, Wang Weizhou attended the Hubei Peasant Movement Institute chaired by Mao Zedong, listened to Mao Zedong and Peng Pai's lectures on the peasant movement, and understood the characteristics and tasks of China's revolution. This was the most important moment in Wang Weizhou's life and laid a solid foundation for his struggle for the China revolution and the cause of communism. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, the party twice sent Wang Weizhou to the warlord forces to carry out fighting work. He was fearless in the face of danger, resourceful and brave, and narrowly escaped death twice. In 1927, Wang Weizhou joined the Communist Party of China. After the failure of the Great Revolution in 1927, Wang Weizhou was ordered to return to eastern Sichuan and established the Eastern Sichuan Guerrilla Army. In April 1929, Wang Weizhou and others led the Gujunba Uprising and fired the first shot at Liu Cunhou, a warlord in eastern Sichuan. Subsequently, the revolutionary storm spread throughout Wanyuan, Xuanhan and Chengkou counties. Liu Cunhou mobilized superior troops to carry out "encirclement and suppression". The guerrillas fought for several years and smashed the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" many times. But in the end, because the enemy was too large and we were outnumbered, the guerrillas were defeated in 1930. In May 1931, Wang Weizhou attended a meeting held by the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in Chengdu. The Provincial Party Committee decided to reorganize the East Sichuan Guerrilla Army, with Wang Weizhou appointed Secretary and Commander-in-Chief of the East Sichuan Military Commission. After the meeting, Wang Weizhou returned to eastern Sichuan and held an emergency meeting in Bajiao Chang, Xuanhan County. He conveyed the instructions of the provincial party committee, summarized the lessons of the failure of the two uprisings, and determined the strategies and policies for fighting the enemy. From then on, the East Sichuan Guerrilla Army grew rapidly and formed into three detachments, with Wang Weizhou serving as the third captain. In the summer of 1933, in order to coordinate the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army to move south, Wang Weizhou reorganized and expanded the Red Army guerrillas, reaching more than 2000 people. Wang Weizhou also sent people to contact the Fourth Red Army. In October, in the Battle of Xuan (Han) and Da (County), the Eastern Sichuan Guerrilla Army cooperated with the Red Army to attack Liu Cunhou from front to back, causing his army to be defeated. In the Battle of Nanbachang in Xuanhan, 8 enemy regiments were wiped out, and the guerrillas successfully joined forces with the Fourth Red Front Army. The two armies jointly pursued the enemy to Yongxing and Baota Dam in Kaijiang River and Gaoqiao Pass in Kaixian County, making the guerrilla base areas quickly become red Soviet areas. In November 1933, a victory celebration meeting attended by tens of thousands of people was held in the playground outside the west gate of Xuanhan County. Chen Changhao, General Political Commissar of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, announced that the Eastern Sichuan Guerrilla Army was reorganized into the 33rd Army of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army, with Wang Weizhou serving as the commander and Yang Keming, Secretary of the County Party Committee of Liangda Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, serving as the political commissar. Soon, Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang instigated warlords, large and small, to launch a six-way siege on the Soviet area. Wang Weizhou was ordered to serve as a blocking mission of more than 100 kilometers from Bajiao Township to Fankuidian in the eastern part of Xuanhan and to cooperate with the 9th and 30th Red Army to serve as a defense mission of more than 50 kilometers in the west. He repelled enemy attacks many times and consolidated the defensive position. Just as the battle to defend the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area was unprecedentedly fierce, Zhang Guotao implemented the policy of eliminating counter-revolutionaries and expanding, causing heavy losses to the 33rd Red Army, and many revolutionary comrades were detained and examined. Wang Weizhou took the risk to go to the 295th Regiment to deal with the problem in person. He was very sad after seeing what happened. In line with the principles of taking the overall situation into account, maintaining unity, protecting cadres and stabilizing the army, he announced the release of detained cadres and soldiers on the spot at the entire regiment meeting after careful screening and in-depth and meticulous ideological work. At the same time, he removed the regiment's political commissar's position and protected a group of valuable revolutionary backbones in a timely manner. At the beginning of 1935, in order to cooperate with the Central Red Army's Long March, the Fourth Red Army decided to cross the Jialing River westward. The Jialing River is one of the four major rivers in Sichuan. On the west bank, there are 53 regiments of the Sichuan Army. They are deployed for 600 miles and built with solid fortifications in an attempt to hold dangerous areas and prevent the Red Army from developing westward. As early as the autumn of 1933, after Wang Weizhou led more than 10,000 outstanding sons and daughters of Eastern Sichuan to join the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army and was reorganized into the Red 33rd Army, he was discriminated against and ostracized by Zhang Guotao, who practiced a patriarchal system within the party. More than 1,000 people in the Red 33rd Army were killed for no reason by Zhang Guotao. Wang Weizhou was very painful and helpless, but he firmly believed in the future of the revolution and firmly believed that the Party Central Committee would eventually give a fair evaluation to the outstanding sons and daughters of eastern Sichuan. At the beginning of 1935, when the Battle of Crossing the River was about to begin, Xu Xiangqian, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Red Army, was under pressure from Zhang Guotao and hired Wang Weizhou. In 1935, the Fourth Red Army forcibly crossed the Jialing River and began the Long March. Many Red Army family members in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area followed the Red Army team. About 20 of Wang Weizhou's relatives and family members also participated in the Long March. The youngest was his niece Wang Xinlan, who was only 10 years old when they set out. The oldest is Wang Weizhou's mother-in-law, who is in her fifties and has small feet. Like all Red Army soldiers, Wang Weizhou and all his relatives who participated in the Long March followed the Long March of the Fourth Red Army and crossed the snowy mountains and grasslands three times. After countless hardships and dangers, no one flinched and insisted on reaching Yan 'an. Later, due to his mother-in-law's age and lack of education, she did not want to drag down the organization and returned to her hometown in Sichuan. Mao Zedong talked with Wang Weizhou During the Long March in 1935, Wang Weizhou was sent as the commander of the advance force to deal with ethnic minorities. Before the Red Fourth Front Army crossed the grassland, Wu Xian 'en, the supply minister of the Fourth Front Army, was responsible for raising the Red Army's food and fodder. One day, he and Wang Weizhou led security personnel to a Tibetan temple to visit the living Buddha who presided over the temple. On the road far away from the temple, I saw some Tibetan compatriots kowtowing step by step and making a pilgrimage to the temple. Wang Weizhou and Wu Xian 'en immediately dismounted and led the guards to march towards the temple in accordance with national customs. Just a few hundred meters away, they were all sweating and panting. The Tibetans along the way were very shocked and moved by this scene. As they approached the temple, the Big Living Buddha immediately came out to welcome them. The big living Buddha saw the imposing appearance of the leading Red Army big man Wang Weizhou, and guessed that he must be a high official. He was very moved by his ability to visit temples in an ethnic and religious way. The Great Living Buddha witnessed with his own eyes how the Red Army generals treated the Tibetans equally and respected Tibetan religious customs so much. He immediately ordered the Tibetans to raise food and fodder for the Red Army and help the Red Army pass through the Tibetan areas smoothly. In the winter of 1936, Wang Weizhou arrived in northern Shaanxi with the Long March of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. Wang Weizhou, together with Liu Bocheng and other leaders of the Fourth Red Army, were cordially received by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. Wang Weizhou recounted to Mao Zedong face to face the criminal facts of "Zhang Guotao's betrayal of the Party, opposition to the Central Committee, fomenting unity between the First and Fourth Front Armies, and all kinds of discrimination against the 33rd Army." Mao Zedong listened carefully to every sentence of Wang Weizhou and said with emotion: "You have suffered more and climbed more mountains this year. The revolutionary road is not without any twists and turns! One branch of the Fourth Front Army had not yet fully realized that the revolution suffered undue losses due to Zhang Guotao's line. When the time is ripe in the future, we will conduct an in-depth examination of this issue. I hope you will be prepared and keep it secret for the time being..."Chairman Mao's words gave Wang Weizhou great encouragement. During the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Weizhou successively served as deputy brigade commander, brigade commander and political commissar of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and commissioner of the Longdong Division of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. During the period when the 385th Brigade was stationed in Qingyang, eastern Gansu, Wang Weizhou insisted on fighting against the enemy on the one hand. On the other hand, he led all officers and soldiers to carry out a large-scale production campaign and opened many factories, greatly ensuring the supply of materials in the rear area. On June 3, 1942, Liberation Daily published Commander-in-Chief Zhu De's article "Comrade Zhu Weizhou's 56th Birthday." "Comrade Weizhou was an ancestor of our party. For half of his life, he was connected with the China revolution... Wang Weizhou completely regarded himself as the son and student of the masses, while the masses regarded him as a nanny and a gentleman. Zhu De called: "He should be worthy of learning from and respect from the whole party, the whole Border Region and the whole China people." Xu Xiangqian, Wu Yuzhang, Xie Juezai, Xiao Hua and others also wrote poems and articles, making a high summary and lofty evaluation of Wang Weizhou's revolutionary experience and great achievements. In January 1943, Wang Weizhou attended the Northwest Bureau Senior Cadres Meeting. Mao Zedong personally wrote a letter to Wang Weizhou with the certificate of "loyalty and loyalty, serving the Party and the country." When the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, Mao Zedong said in a conversation when reviewing the list of candidates for the Central Committee of the Seventh National Congress: "Comrade Wang Weizhou was one of the earliest members of the Communist Party of China. He was a member of the Communist Party of China before the Communist Party of China was established." At the Seventh National Congress, Wang Weizhou was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee. In 1945, after Mao Zedong went to Chongqing for negotiations, the Party Central Committee decided that Wu Yuzhang and Wang Weizhou would serve as Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China respectively. After the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided that the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee would conduct public activities, Chiang Kai-shek was deeply disturbed to learn that Wang Weizhou, a Sichuan army general and a deep mass base, had returned to his hometown. One day, Zhang Dulun, mayor of Chongqing and director of the acting camp, invited Wu Yuzhang and Wang Weizhou to his home in the name of treating him to dinner and conveyed Chiang Kai-shek's order: Wang Weizhou was restricted to three sunrise, otherwise he would be arrested and detained and his freedom would be restricted. Zhang Dulun also said: "Wang Weizhou is an expert specializing in mutiny and insurrection." The Kuomintang opposition was afraid that he would enter Sichuan, which the Kuomintang regarded as the rear area, as a Communist Party, and pose a threat to the Kuomintang's local power, so they found an excuse to send a plane to Nanjing to send Wang Weizhou and his family. Later, with the coordination of the Eighth Route Army Office in Nanjing, Wang Weizhou's family was able to turn around and return to Yan 'an safely. Wang Weizhou Memorial Hall During the War of Liberation, Wang Weizhou successively served as deputy commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Shanxi-Sui Joint Defense Army and deputy commander of the Northwest Military Region, assisting He Long in commanding battles such as defending Yan 'an and recovering Yan' an. After the founding of New China, Wang Weizhou served as vice chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, director of the Southwest Ethnic Affairs Committee, and concurrently served as president of the Southwest Institute for Nationalities. In 1956, Wang Weizhou was transferred to Beijing and served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Supervisory Commission for a long time. In 1956, Wang Weizhou was also elected as a member of the Central Committee at the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Wang Weizhou is an elderly and elderly revolutionary. He has established deep friendship with many veteran comrades and patriots. He has a friendship of more than half a century with the famous "five elders" in the party (Dong Biwu, Lin Boqu, Wu Yuzhang, Xu Teli, Xie Juezai). Dong Biwu wrote: "Most of the 20th century's classics are brilliant, and our Chinese revolution is typical. Running together with you one after another, looking forward to the red flag and spring ceremony." During the Cultural Revolution, Xie Juezai was paralyzed. When he heard that Wang Weizhou's house had been raided, he specially asked people around him to carry him to visit Wang Weizhou's house. In difficult times, they watch each other and encourage each other. On January 10, 1970, Wang Weizhou died of illness in Beijing at the age of 83. On December 29, 1979, the Party Central Committee held a follow-up meeting for Wang Weizhou in the auditorium of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing. Party and state leaders Li Xiannian and Hu Yaobang attended. In 1987, the people of Xuanhan, Sichuan Province built a marble statue of Wang Weizhou riding a war horse under the monument to the founding of the 33rd Red Army. On the stone tablet in front of the statue is inlaid with the inscription "Loyalty, Serving the Party and the Country" presented by Mao Zedong's book.138 years ago today, June 10, 1887 (April 19, 1887, the lunar calendar), he was already a member of the Communist Party of China before it was established.
