78 years ago today, on September 27th, 1947 (August 13th, 1947 in the lunar calendar), Mao Zemin was killed. Mao Zemin was killed by Sheng Shicai, chairman of Xinjiang Province On September 27, 1947, Mao Zedong's younger brother Mao Zemin was killed by Sheng Shicai, a warlord in Xinjiang. Mao Zemin was born on April 3, 1896, and his courtesy name was Yonglian, which was later changed to Runlian. Mao Zemin only attended a private school for four years as a child, studied farming since childhood, and was an industrious, simple and honest farmer. Influenced by his father, he can still write and calculate. His parents died in 1919 and 1920. At that time, the eldest brother Mao Zedong was engaged in revolutionary activities abroad, and the younger brother Mao Zetan went to school in Changsha. All the housework and the burden of supporting his brothers fell on Mao Zemin alone. He planted the 20 mu of land left by his parents well, managed his housework in an orderly manner, and lived a life of food and clothing. However, years of melee between warlords, especially the rampant exploitation of landlords, gentry and clan rights, made him suspicious and dissatisfied with the old society. He loves to fight against unreasonable things, and is full of heartfelt sympathy for poor farmers, but he is puzzled by the causes of all kinds of corruption in the old society. During the Spring Festival of 1921, Mao Zedong returned to his hometown because of business, and talked about the situation of national disaster, saying that the fundamental reason for the difficulty of people's livelihood was that the system of the old society was not good. Only when everyone worked together to change the old society and establish a new social system could the country and the nation have a way out. Advise Zemin to give up his family for the country and give up his own for the people. My eldest brother's words made Mao Zemin understand the truth that only by revolution and overthrowing the old system can we save thousands of poor farmers in Qian Qian. But I asked puzzled: How can I have food if I don't work after leaving home? The eldest brother told me about his revolutionary work. Mao Zemin also thought of the property problem at home. The eldest brother said: These are all easy to handle. The house can be given to others to live in, and the fields can be planted by others. The money we owe others will be paid off at once, and what others owe us will be written off. We don't want it. Zemin completely followed his eldest brother's advice and quickly and properly handled housework. A few days later, I arrived in Changsha with my whole family and simple luggage. In Changsha, Mao Zemin first worked as a school officer in the primary school attached to the provincial First Normal School, and at the same time studied in Changsha Workers' Tutorial School. In 1922, Mao Zemin engaged in general affairs at Hunan Self-study University founded by Comrade Mao Zedong. While working, he studied Marxism-Leninism. His thoughts made rapid progress, and soon, he joined the Communist Party of China (CPC). From then on, Mao Zemin devoted himself wholeheartedly to the revolution and became a professional revolutionary until his final sacrifice. At the end of 1925, after studying in Guangzhou Peasant Movement Workshop, Mao Zemin rushed to Shanghai, took over as the manager of the Publishing and Distribution Department of the CPC Central Committee, and set up a distribution network all over the country. There are bookstores in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Changsha, Ningbo and other places, and even Hong Kong and Paris, France have sales offices. In the late autumn of 1931, Mao Zemin was responsible for the preparations for the First Soviet Congress and managed logistics affairs. The conference officially opened in November. During the meeting, it was decided to set up the National Bank, and Mao Zemin was responsible for the preparatory work of the National Bank and served as the president. Mao Zemin served as the first governor of the National Bank, not only because of Mao Zemin's strong working ability, entrepreneurship, loyalty and honesty, but also because of his rich experience in financial work. When Mao Zemin began to prepare for the establishment of the National Bank, he was faced with the arduous task of unifying finance, adjusting finance, strengthening economic construction in Soviet areas and ensuring the Red Army's operations. It only took him more than two months to transfer personnel and build institutions, start empty-handed, and the official opening of the National Bank. At first, there was only one accountant, one bookkeeper, one cashier, and one general manager, even himself. People who come to work in banks are not very educated and unfamiliar with business, so Zemin taught these comrades to keep accounts and count money hand in hand. Cao Juru, who has been the governor of the National Bank since liberation, grew up with his training and help. Mao Zemin was not only the leader of the bank in the Soviet area, but also the first general manager of tungsten mines. He expanded three mines and exported tungsten to Hong Kong. In 1933, the output of tungsten reached 1,800 tons, and in 1934, the output value reached more than 2 million yuan. He also served as one of the leaders of the confiscation collection committee. In order to raise food and funds, he often went to the front line and accompanied the troops. At the beginning of 1934, the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign failed repeatedly, and the enemy strengthened the economic blockade against us. The financial situation was very difficult. Coupled with the rumors and troubles spread by bad guys, the circulation of paper money was blocked and the reputation was seriously reduced. Mao Zemin was very anxious. For this reason, he ran to the front line again and again to raise materials, and informed the front-line troops to transport all the seized materials back to the Soviet cooperative. Then instruct the vault to take out Guangyang and silver dollars and openly exchange them for Soviet banknotes. In October 1934, the Red Army was forced to march on the Long March, and the Ministry of Finance and the National Bank formed 15 brigades. Mao Zemin was appointed as the captain and deputy director of the confiscation collection committee (Lin Boqu was appointed as the director), responsible for the grain raising, fund-raising and all supply work of the entire Red Army. After arriving in northern Shaanxi, Mao Zemin served as Minister of National Economy. At the end of 1937, Mao Zemin became ill from overwork, his stomach trouble became more serious, and his body was extremely weak. The central government arranged for Mao Zemin to go to the Soviet Union to recuperate and study, and went to the Soviet Union via Xinjiang. However, when he arrived in Urumqi, due to the plague on the Sino-Soviet border, the traffic line was temporarily cut off, and he failed to make the trip. At that time, Sheng Shicai was asking the Chinese Communist Party to send cadres to build Xinjiang. Therefore, the central government approved Mao Zemin and others to stay in new jobs. Mao Zemin first served as the director of finance and later as the director of civil affairs, and made great contributions to the liberation of Xinjiang people.
