In addition to learning textbook knowledge well, he also read books such as Lu Xun's works and Dialectics, which was deeply influenced by progressive thoughts. What he is most interested in is an article entitled "The Art of the North and South" in "A Model of Chinese Language". The article wrote: "Alas, the northern and southern armies, unfortunately killing each other, bleeding all over the ground, my heart can't bear it, people can't hurt!" ..... be a gentleman, can you not sigh ... He recited it over and over again every morning to understand its meaning, and he said to himself, "Why on earth is this? "Ma is a scholar in the Qing Dynasty and the principal of Fujunmiao Primary School. He treated teachers and students by means of feudal autocratic education, which caused strong dissatisfaction. He and his classmates Xu Hanru, Chai Dongsheng and Zhou Zhixue organized a student uprising, debated with Ma Jin and exposed his shady situation. After some struggle, the headmaster was finally ousted from the stage.

1926 In the spring, Li Gen was admitted to No.3 Middle School of Xi Province. After entering the school, he joined the Northwest Youth League, a peripheral organization of the * * * Youth League founded by Lei Jinsheng and party member Lv Yougan, and soon joined the * * * Production Youth League. During the siege of Ancheng by warlord Liu Zhenhua, the Communist Youth League and Student Union, presided over by Lei Jinsheng and Wu Huazhi, opened a summer school in the No.1 Provincial Middle School in the back street of Ancheng God Temple, with more than 500 party member and progressive youths participating. Li Gen took an active part in this research. He listened to the history of socialism, historical materialism, Leninism, imperialist aggression against China, classical literature and poetry by Lei Jinsheng, one of the early founders of Shaanxi Party, and professors Liu Hanchu, Wang Shoujin and Wu Huazhi. He gradually accepted Marxism–Leninism, got a better understanding of the politics and economy of China society, and became more convinced of the * * * production party. 1926165438+1October, he joined the China * * * production party with honor.

Under the leadership of the prefectural party committee, he took an active part in the struggle against Liu Zhenhua. 1927 during the spring festival, he wrote a unique couplet to his land hall, which was linked to "overthrowing local tyrants and evil gentry"; The bottom line is "eradicating local ruffians and hooligans"; With his heroic oath of "average land", Li Gen is determined to transform the corrupt social system and save the world and people.

This day has finally arrived!

1926 1 1 When Ancheng was cleared, Zhang (party member * *), Minister of the Peasant Department of the Kuomintang Party Department in Shaanxi Province, sent four propaganda teams to go deep into the countryside to publicize the idea of overthrowing warlords and opposing imperialism and feudalism. , Xue Zhuomao, Xu Hanru, Kang, etc. It was sent to the fifth floor of Chang 'an to organize farmers' associations to fight against grain and money, reduce rent and fight hegemony. In the dead of winter, they often endure hunger and cold and live in temples. Through hard work, this agricultural movement developed smoothly and soon spread to more than 2,000 farmers in dozens of villages on the south lawn of Huxian County. He Jingwei, Feng Yuxiang's headquarters in Huxian County, was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately sent a company commander with a letter to trap, Xue Zhuomao and Zheng. Later, with the help of Yu Youren, the three were released. After Li Gen and others were released, they continued to organize peasant associations to fight against grain and money, and put forward the slogan of overthrowing local tyrants and evil gentry. One day, Li Gen and the Self-Defense Forces of the Peasant Association arrested Xing Zhenwu, an evil gentry, in Pangguang Town, announced his crime to the masses, and executed him according to the wishes of the masses. On the fifth floor of Chang 'an, Zhang, an evil gentry, is rampant in the village and disrespectful. He once sent food and money to warlord Liu Zhenhua, and farmers hated it. Li Gen and Xu Hanru. Under the leadership of Zhong * * * and the fifth floor of Hechi Branch, Zhang was executed immediately after the trial in Yuhua on 1927+0, which did great harm to the people. Since then, Li Gen's name has been known to many Chang 'an people.

Under the activities of Li Gen and others, farmers' associations were established all over Huxian County, and soon, farmers' associations in Huxian County were also established. Li Gen and Xue Zhuomao introduced Liu Anren of Huxian County to join the China * * * Production Party. The three of them set up a party group headed by Li Gen, and absorbed some advanced farmers from Huxian Agricultural Association to join the Party.

After the counter-revolutionary coup on April 12th, the relationship between the two parties broke down, many party member were arrested, and the revolution turned into a low tide. In the case of very serious white terror, Li Gen did not flinch, did not waver, but became more determined. He often warns some comrades around him: "If anyone wavers in the revolutionary cause and has second thoughts, I will stab him with a spear!"

Under the leadership of the Party, Chang 'an peasant movement did not flinch because of Chiang Kai-shek's butcher's knife, but was in the ascendant and developed on a large scale, becoming one of the most powerful counties in the province. From the banks of Fenghe River to the banks of Bashui River; From the foothills of Zhong Nanshan to the Caotan area, the peasant movement flourished, which greatly shook the reactionary ruling foundation of the landlord class and the evil gentry. /kloc-in the winter of 0/927, when Zhang Xinfa was appointed secretary of the Central County Committee of Chang 'an, Li Gen was an organizing committee member. They organized the Third Bridge riots, destroyed the fifth floor and executed the "black poisonous insect" king.

1928 65438+ 10/2 The Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China established an uprising area centered on Chang 'an, including Xianyang, Huxian and Zhouzhi. The Central Committee of Chang 'an decided to appoint Li Gen as the commander-in-chief of the riot, thus launching a massive anti-white struggle in Chang 'an, Xian 'an, Hu 'an and Thursday counties.

Bai Xintai, the bully landlord of Majia Village in Xianyang, is rich and heartless, and relies on his nephew to be the brigade commander of the Kuomintang Security Command. He is bullying in the village, exploiting people at high interest, robbing women, colluding with the government and framing good people. Especially after the counter-revolutionary coup in 1942, counterattacks against the revolutionary masses were rampant and the people were extremely angry.

In order to cooperate with the Hua Wei Uprising, crack down on the arrogance of the evil gentry and inspire the revolutionary spirit of the people's struggle against hegemony, on May 16 of the same year, Zhang Xinfa, secretary of the county party committee, Wang Tianlu, Cheng Kaiyun, secretary of the Xianyang District Party Committee, secretly came to Balizhuang, the contact center, and informed the leaders of all points in the riot zone and party member to carry weapons, and gathered near Balizhuang that night.

That night, under the cover of the vast darkness, riot squad quickly assembled from all directions with swords, guns and darts, and was mobilized by Commander-in-Chief Li Gen. Li Gen made the crimes of the White House public and talked about the tasks, objectives, passwords, discipline and action deployment of the riot. After the mobilization, the riot squad went straight to Majia Village. When you arrive at your destination, close the city gate first and set up a sentry along the street. Li Gen and Wang Tianlu led more than 20 people, holding torches, and went straight to the White House. Unexpectedly, the culprit Bai Xin didn't go home at night, and his nephew and villain Bai Yunxiang took the opportunity to escape from the back door. In a rage, the riot squad caught Bai Nianwa, Bai Chongnian and Bai Cangnian, the nephews of Bai Xintai, and tied them to the pillars of the White House lobby. Seeing this, the ladies and gentlemen of the White House took out their possessions and begged for mercy. The riot squad snapped: "We are not bandits, we don't want your things, we want your people!" " Then Li Gen declared the White House evil. As soon as Li Gen's voice fell, the furious mob killed three tied White House personnel with a knife and set fire to the White House contracts and books. When the riot squad withdrew from Majiazhai, they shouted slogans: "Farmers unite and fight the White House to the end!" In the name of Chang 'an Party Committee, put up notices and slogans inside and outside the village. This struggle against hegemony educated the peasants and curbed the evil deeds of landlords and evil gentry to oppress, blackmail and blackmail the peasants.

After the failure of the Hua Wei Uprising, the situation was very grim, and the Party organizations went underground. At that time, life was extremely hard, and a few comrades had to work for a short time and fight for the revolution. Li Gen's family is also poor, but he still tries his best to solve the problem of eating in party member. His wife, Jin, is smart and wise, understands her husband's difficulties, always warmly welcomes comrades who come to her house and tries every means to shelter them from the wind and rain. 1April, 928, Chang 'an County Party Committee moved to No.46, Taiyangmiao Gate, Anshi. In order not to be noticed by enemy agents, through organizational research, the location of the office was disguised as a residential building, and an ordinary family was formed with his wife Jin. Li Gen readily agreed, so he took his wife and father to the city to build organs with his family. Several responsible comrades of the county party Committee are all relatives. Li Gen's father often brings rice and flour from the countryside to support his son in the Party's work.

/kloc-one night in 0/0, when several responsible persons of Chang 'an County Committee were at a meeting in the county-level organs, Pan, the secretary of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee who came to attend the meeting, was arrested by Kuomintang agents, and his wife was not spared. The enemy tied Li Gen and Zhang Xinfa up, then went into the room and rummaged through the files, but found nothing.

Li Gen was taken to the Imperial City, where the Kuomintang Shaanxi provincial government is located, for trial. Song, chairman of the Kuomintang Shaanxi province, personally went out. He assumed a condescending posture, hoping to scare the young man who was only 20 years old with power. But Li Gen held his head high and showed no fear.

"Are you a producer of * * *?" Song asked.

"yes." Li Gen replied flatly.

"Why do you want to join the * * * production party?"

"Why do you want to join the Kuomintang? ! "

This straightforward backchat embarrassed Song.

Song was helpless and snapped, "It's illegal to be a producer of * * *, do you know it?"

Li Genyi said sternly: "When the * * * production party is for the revolution, the revolution is not afraid of beheading. If you are afraid of beheading, it is not a * * * production party! "

This trial made Song speechless and had to give a thumbs-up and praise: "You are really a great man in the northwest!"

1930 165438+ In October, Song was defeated in the Chiang Kai-shek War, Yang Hucheng took Tongguan to Shaanxi, Song was expelled from Shaanxi, and others took advantage of chaos to escape from prison.

After Li Gen was released from prison, he served as member of the Standing Committee of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and secretary of xi Municipal Party Committee from 193 1 932. In Xi 'an, he organized and mobilized patriotic young students to carry out the anti-Japanese drive (Dai Chuanxian, then chairman of the KMT Central Examination) movement. This movement was suppressed by the Shaanxi authorities of the Kuomintang. Since then, Li Gen began to engage in armed activities cautiously and set out to create rural revolutionary base areas.

1932, Li Gen was appointed member of the Standing Committee of Shaanxi Provincial Committee and Minister of Organization. In September of this year, in order to establish the Red Army armed forces under the leadership of the Party, the provincial party committee sent Li Gen to Haodian, Ningxia, and entered the cadre tutorial team sergeant team in Deng Baoshan to instigate the mutiny. Twenty-six people were drawn from Deng's department and announced the establishment of the seventh detachment of the Shaanxi-Gansu Guerrilla of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants, with Li Huafeng as the team leader. After the defeat, only seven people remained, surrounded by the enemy in a village. Under the cover of Longdong Special Committee, Li Gen bravely rushed out of the tight encirclement and returned to Xi 'an.

Although the mutiny failed, Li Gen was not discouraged. Instead, he planned and persevered in creating armed base areas.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/932, the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army left the Hubei, Henan and Anhui revolutionary base areas for the Western Expedition, crossed the Jinghan Line, bypassed the Qinling Mountains, crossed the Qinling Mountains to the west and entered southern Shaanxi. At that time, in order to strengthen the leadership of the Red Army guerrillas in southern Shaanxi, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee quickly developed and strengthened the revolutionary armed forces and cooperated with the Red Fourth Front Army to consolidate and develop the Sichuan-Shaanxi revolutionary base areas. At the beginning of 1933, Li Gen, as a member of the provincial party Committee, was sent to southern Shaanxi to participate in the formation of the Red 29 army. In February of the same year, the 29th Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army was formally established in Hongmiao River under Maeryan in Xixiang County, with Li Gen as political commissar and Chen Qianlun as commander, and the command center located in Maeryan.

Ma 'eryan is at the foot of Daba Mountain, there is a forest in the southeast, and there is a narrow path winding among thorns. There are two main roads leading to Hanzhong and Ankang, which can be attacked and retreated. It is an ideal guerrilla zone, * * * governs more than 2,700 families with a population of 1000, and has a Soviet government.

Li Gen and Chen Qianlun visited the terrain for many times, analyzed the situation, and learned about the situation of the Red 29th Army. They believe that although most of the troops come from the working people, some of them are collected by landlords and immortals, and their composition is very complicated. In order to clean up military discipline and build the people's army, they formulated "No rape of women; Don't take the needle and thread of the masses; Fair trade; The house should be cleaned; Don't hit people or swear; There are no six disciplines such as Ralph. It also stipulates that the democratic style should be promoted and officers and men should be equal. In more than half a year, they attacked the enemy many times and experienced 23 battles, including 6 battles in which the weak defeated the strong; From small to large, from weak to strong, Red 29 army expanded its base area by 400 square kilometers, and confiscated the land of the landlords 1. 7.86 million mu; distributed of 1920 households with little or no land. It contained the strength of an enemy division and played an important role in the smooth development of the Red Fourth Front Army in northern Sichuan.

The landlords in Xixiang hated the development of the Red 29th Army, and they jointly requested the Hanzhong appeasement headquarters of the Kuomintang to "encircle" the Red 29th Army. And through the local militia in Xixiang, they colluded with Zhang, the head of the Xixiang God Corps hidden in the Red 29 th Army, and prepared to kill Chen Qianlun and others by spying.

On April 1933 and 1 day, due to Zhang's informer, while the Red 29th Army was holding a meeting of leading cadres, the Kuomintang troops and reactionary militia forces in Xixiang County suddenly launched a siege on Maeryan base area. Because most of the Red Army troops were fighting on the edge of the base area, Ma 'eryan troops were empty and outnumbered, and dozens of cadres were killed. Li Gen and Chen Qianlun. Strive to break through. They climbed the city wall, waded across the Trojan River, and arrived at Yinjiayan at dawn the next day. Tired from the journey and hungry for several days, I took a nap at Zeng's house temporarily and took out four silver dollars for Zeng's family to cook. Unexpectedly, Zeng's son Zeng an yun was a soldier of the 29th Army of the Red Army. Chen Qianlun was executed for robbing the masses of opium and refusing to hand it over. The Tseng family held a grudge and revealed the news of the trip to Zhang. When Zhang heard the news, he immediately sent someone to arrest him. Li Gen and others unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy.

1April 6, 933, Li Gen died heroically in Xixiang County, Shaanxi Province, at the age of 25. At the same time, Chen Qianlun was killed. In order to claim credit, Jackal Zhang cut off the heads of Chen Qianlun and sent them to the enemy headquarters in Xixiang County. The enemy hung the heads of two martyrs on the willows in the river dam outside the south gate of Xixiang County to intimidate everyone.

A strong man's revolution is not afraid of death, so his head should be hung abroad. Li Gen dedicated everything to the Party and the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation should be proud of having such a national hero! Chang 'an people should be proud of having such a good son!
