Who knows the revolutionary history of western Fujian?

Minxi, the Central Soviet Area, is a revolutionary base area opened earlier in China. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, Wang Jiaxiang and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation fought and lived in this red land and carried out great revolutionary practice activities. Nine marshals, eight generals and many famous generals of New China have fought and lived in western Fujian. Western Fujian is the place where the Red Army grew and grew, and it is the cradle of generals in the Republic of China. After the Long March, Minxi, the main force of the Red Army, launched an arduous three-year guerrilla war, and the friendship between the army and the people at the turn of fish and water overcame many difficulties and obstacles and won. Minxi is a strong fortress where the red flag cannot fall.

Mao Zedong, a great man, stayed in western Fujian for more than a year. He creatively combined the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of the China Revolution, explored the road of encircling cities from rural areas to save China, and founded the party and army building program: the party's absolute leadership over the army. This was decided by the resolution of Gutian Conference. This incident soon spread to the whole party and army, thus enabling the China revolution to win step by step. In the "Xiecheng Store" in Gutian, Mao Zedong is far-sighted and optimistic about the prospect of China revolution: "It is a ship standing on the coast overlooking the sea, and the tip of the mast can already be seen. It's a red sun standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the east. It's a baby that is about to mature. " Persuade some pessimists patiently about how long the red flag can last. Mao Zedong has always attached great importance to investigation. During his stay in western Fujian, he went down to the company and the grass-roots units as soon as he had time, and went to the homes of soldiers and ordinary people to investigate and mastered a lot of first-hand information. "Without investigation, there is no right to speak. How many truths have been created by revolutionary practical activities such as opposing bookishness, investigating Caixi Township, caring about people's lives and paying attention to working methods? ! Minxi is an important birthplace of Mao Zedong Thought.

The old revolutionary base areas in western Fujian include Longyan (now xinluo district), Shanghang, Yongding, Wuping, Changting, Liancheng, Zhangping, Mingxi, Liu Qing, Ninghua and a part of Pinghe County.

As early as the first revolutionary civil war, the organization of the * * * production party was established in western Fujian. Launched a vigorous revolutionary movement; During the Second Revolutionary Civil War, this was the central area of the Central Revolutionary Base.

After the May 4th Movement of l9 19, a large number of intellectuals in western Fujian, influenced by the new ideological trend, went to France, Japan and other places to seek revolutionary truth, joined the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal torrent, and urgently demanded the establishment of revolutionary organizations in order to better spread revolutionary ideas.

192 1 In the spring of, Deng Zihui, Chen Ming, Zhang Duqi, Lin Xianting and others went to Dongxiaotong Port, Longyan, and the primary school set up a "Qishan Bookstore" to read revolutionary books such as Producer's Manifesto, New Youth and Guide, criticizing the shortcomings of the times. More than 200 teachers and middle school students joined the club.

1September, 923, Deng Zihui, Zhang Juejue, Zhang Duqi and other 37 people organized the Voice of Rock in Qishan Bookstore to actively publicize new culture and new ideas, expose social darkness, report mass struggles, arouse the masses of workers and peasants, publicize revolutionary ideas, publicize socialism, Marxism-Leninism, and record Sun Yat-sen's alliance with Russia, * * *, and the peasants and workers. The Voice of Rock is the earliest and most influential revolutionary publication spreading Marxism-Leninism in western Fujian. The organization of Qishan Bookstore and the founding of The Voice of Rock, Lei Ting published by Changting, Lianzhong Monthly published by Liancheng, Red Hate published by Shanghang and other publications made ideological preparations for the later establishment of the China * * * production party organization in western Fujian.

1924, Zheng and Chen Zukang, who studied and worked in other places, joined the central organization. This year, Wu Ping and Xie Bingqiong were admitted to Shanghai University, which was established by the central organization to train cadres, and joined the central organization the following year. Xiang, a young man from Liancheng County, joined the central organization in Zhejiang. In the same year, Li Yungui, a young man from Liancheng, joined the party at the Chaoshan branch of Huangpu Military Academy. He Yaoquan of Yongding joined the Party in Guangzhou. In September, 1925, the 5th Guangzhou Peasant Movement Workshop hosted by Peng Pai, the producer of * * *, opened. Lai Qiushi and Lai Yushan from Yongding went to study and join the * * * organization. 1In May, 926, the sixth workshop of peasant movement hosted by Mao Zedong was opened in Guangzhou. Guo Diren, Chen Qinglong, Li Lianxing, Wang Kuifu and Hu Yongdong from Yongding, Wen Jiafu from Shanghang and Zhu Jilei from Pinghe went to study and joined the organizations in China. That year, Li Juemin from Yongding joined the Party in Guangzhou, Lai and Jiang Dexian from Wuhan Military Academy, Deng Zihui from Chongyi, Jiangxi, Hu from Shantou, Zhang Dingcheng 1927 from Wuhan, Zhang Chinan from Wuhan and Lan Hongxiang from Shantou. Lin Xinyao,, Lu Zhongzhong,, Lan and Zhong Wu, who are studying in the normal department of Jimei School in Xiamen. Xie Jingde, Zeng Muchun and Yang Shining also joined the * * * organization successively. Most of the above-mentioned intellectual youths in western Fujian who joined the * * * production party organization in other places were sent by the party organization and returned to their hometowns to carry out revolutionary activities.

1926 In early summer, Xiamen Party Organization assigned party member Ruan Shan and Lin Xinyao to return to Yongding. Later, the first party branch in western Fujian was established in Hululei, Yongding, with Ruan Shan as its secretary. In February of 65438+, Zhu Jilei and Wen Jiafu established party branches in Pinghe and Shanghang counties respectively. In June 5438+the following year 10, Chen Qinglong, Guo Di and others set up a branch in Longyan.

1927 In March, the "Shuting Eight County Social Sports Personnel Training Center" was established in Shanghang County, which trained a large number of backbone farmers who actively carried out the national revolutionary movement. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, Kuomintang reactionaries in western Fujian also stepped up their efforts to suppress the revolution, and Lin Xinyao, the leader of the Party organization in western Fujian, was arrested and martyred. In September, Zhu De, He Long, Ye Ting, Hui and others led Nanchang Uprising troops south, passing through western Fujian, giving great support and encouragement to the people of western Fujian, helping western Fujian to restore some party organizations, and counties such as Shanghang, Longyan, Yongding and Pinghe successively established county committees. According to the spirit of the August 7th meeting in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Party organizations in western Fujian led the people to actively prepare for armed riots.

1On April 3, 928, Guo Diren, Deng Zihui and others led the Houtian Uprising in Longyan, and put forward the battle slogan of burning title deeds, not paying rent, and dividing fields, which started the first sound of the agrarian revolution in Fujian. On the 8th of the same month, Zhu Jilei led a peaceful riot. On June 25, Guo Baiping, Deng Zihui and Fu led a riot in Shanghang, killing and injuring more than 20 Kuomintang troops, and then turned to Dagou Mountain to launch a guerrilla war. At the end of the same month, Zhang Dingcheng, Ruan Shan and Lu Zhaoxi led the biggest riot in western Fujian-Yongding riot, and captured Yongding county. Subsequently, the peasant armed forces were transferred to the southwest village, and the first Red Army unit of workers and peasants in western Fujian was established, with Justin Cheung as the battalion commander and Deng Zihui as the party representative. On July 15, leaders of party organizations in Longyan, Yongding, Shanghang and Pinghe counties held a meeting in Gumudu, Yongding, and established a temporary special committee and a riot prevention committee in western Fujian. In August, based on the establishment of Soviet regime in 13 township, Li Xinan established the district Soviet government, which was the first Soviet area in Fujian province. The party led the peasants to carry out the agrarian revolution, and the land reform and land division were successfully completed in three towns and villages in the whole region/kloc-0, with more than 20,000 people.

On March 1929 and 1 1 day, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army to March from Gannan to Changting, the capital of Sidu. /kloc-In the morning of 0/4, the Red Army launched an attack on Guo Zhuli, an indigenous warlord of the Second Huncheng Brigade of the Kuomintang Fujian Provincial Defence Force, who was holed up in Shenghua Mountain, killing more than 2,000 people, killing Guo, the brigade commander, and liberating Tingzhou. Changting County Revolutionary Committee, the first red county-level political power in the Central Soviet Area, was established. 1 year in April, gongsijun returned to Gannan, Deng Zihui heard the news, wrote a report on the struggle and the situation of friends and enemies in western Fujian over the years, and sent people to the front Committee of gongsijun. So, Mao Zedong led GongSiJun into Fujian for the second time at 438+05 on May 6th. With the strong support of workers and peasants in western Fujian, gongsijun captured Longyan city occupied by Chen Guohui, the first Hunchenglv of the Kuomintang Fujian garrison, for the first time on 23rd, liberated Yongding city on 25th, and established the revolutionary committee of Yongding county with Justin Cheung as its chairman. Subsequently, GongSiJun divide troops to counties and villages to mobilize the masses, have held riots. On June 3rd, Li Longyan, the third column of GongSiJun, with the cooperation of Longyan local revolutionary armed forces, captured Longyan City for the second time and established Longyan County Revolutionary Committee with Deng Zihui as the chairman. Soon, the main force of GongSiJun moved to Shanghang, and moved to the border areas of Shanghang (Shanghang), Changting (Chang) and Lian (Cheng). Most of Shanghang County, south of Changting and south of Liancheng County, east of Tingjiang River, successively established red Soviet areas, which were connected with the Soviet areas of Longyan and Yongding counties. On June 17, the Red Fourth Army learned that the main force of the indigenous warlord brigade had returned from Guangdong, that is, it set out from Liancheng Xinquan and attacked Longyan City again on June 19 to annihilate Chen. After World War III, * * * wiped out more than 3,000 people. Since then, there has been a gratifying situation of "land distribution is really busy" in the vast areas of western Fujian.

On July 2 1 day of the same year, the party organization of western Fujian held its first congress in Wenchang Pavilion, Yang Jiao, Shanghang County, and Mao Zedong personally guided it. Deng Zihui, Zhang Dingcheng, Tan Zhenlin, Cai Xiemin, etc. 15 were elected as members of the special committee, Deng Zihui was appointed secretary of the special committee, and Zhang Dingcheng was appointed secretary of the military commission. The meeting formulated political resolutions and land policies and regulations. More than half a year after the meeting, workers and peasants' democratic governments in more than 50 districts and 500 townships were established in Guixi. According to the provisions of the land law, farmers were led to carry out the agrarian revolution, and about 800,000 poor farmers got land. In September and 10, Longyan, Shanghang, Yongding, Wuping and other counties successively held the first congress of workers, peasants and soldiers, and elected the county Soviet government.

1929 65438+On February 3rd, Gongsijun launched a large-scale political and military training and consolidation in Liancheng Xinquan. Due to the change of the enemy's situation, GongSiJun hastily moved to Gutian and Shanghang. At the end of the month, the ninth congress of the production party of great historical significance-China Hongsi Army was held in Gutian, Shanghang County. The meeting adopted the resolution of the Ninth Congress of the Fourth Army of the Chinese Red Army drafted by Mao Zedong, and formulated the construction program of the Party and the Red Army. 1930 1 In Yoshida, Mao Zedong wrote the inner-party communication "A single spark can start a prairie fire", and put forward the idea of encircling cities with rural areas and finally seizing the national political power, which theoretically solved the road problem of China revolution.

On March 1930, the first congress of workers, peasants and soldiers in western Fujian was held in Gaoyan City. Deng Zihui was elected as the main emperor of the Soviet government in western Fujian, and Zhang Dingcheng, Guo Diren and Lu Zhaoxi were appointed as executive members. Decided to establish the local main red army in western Fujian-the ninth army of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants (later renamed the twelfth army of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants). After the meeting, Yu Lian and Changting held the first congress of workers, peasants and soldiers in April and June respectively, and elected county Soviet Ninghua, Liu Qing and Guihua (now called Mingxi) to set up county revolutionary committees one after another, which became an integral part of the Soviet area in western Fujian.

On June 1930, the Red Fourth Army entered western Fujian. On June 1 1, Mao Zedong presided over a joint meeting of the front committee of the Gongsijun Army and the special committee of western Fujian, that is, the "Nanyang Meeting", at which two resolutions on the rich peasants and hooliganism were discussed and passed. The Resolution on the Problem of Rich Peasants formally affirmed the principle of "pumping fertilizer to supplement thinness" created by Minxi Party, which made the rich peasants unable to control the fertile land. After the Nanyang Conference, according to the instructions of the Central Committee, Gongsijun, Minxi Gongshi Army and Gannan Gongliu Army were reorganized in Tingzhou, and the First Corps of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army was established, with Zhu De as commander-in-chief, general political commissar, director of political department and chief of staff.

After the Red Fourth Front Army entered Fujian for the first time, after one year and three months' efforts, it established a revolutionary base area with a population of nearly one million and a length of 300 miles. The Party's organizations have developed and strengthened in the struggle, effectively playing the role of core leadership. There are 7 county committees, 5 1 district committee, 530 township branches, 18 special branches and 7,566 people in party member. At the same time, Soviet governments in 6 counties, 62 districts, 577 townships and 3,298 villages were established. 187300 households, 66800 poor farmers were allocated land, accounting for more than 80% of the total number of households and population in the area at that time. At this point, the two revolutionary base areas in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian have been integrated, and the central revolutionary base area has been formally formed.

1932 In February, Fujian Military Region was established in Shilipu, Changting, with Luo Binghui as commander and Tan Zhenlin as political commissar. It has three military divisions: Shanghang, Yongding and Longyan form the first military division, and Changting, Liancheng and Liu Qing form the second military division; Ninghua and naturalization form the third army division.

1932 At the beginning of March, the second congress of the Central Soviet Area of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi was held in Tingzhou. According to the instruction of C.O. of Soviet area, important documents such as "The Current Situation in Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi Soviet Area and the Party's Resolution" were discussed and adopted, and Luo Ming was re-elected as acting secretary.

1March, 93218th, the first congress of workers, peasants and soldiers in Fujian province was held in Tingzhou, and the democratic government of workers and peasants in Fujian province was established, and Justin Cheung was elected as its chairman.

Under the leadership of the Party and the Soviet government, the people in western Fujian actively joined the army and participated in the war, actively supported production, worked hard to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and organized all manpower, material resources and financial resources to support the revolutionary war. The political power, economy, culture and military construction in the Soviet area have achieved remarkable results, and there have emerged models of construction, expansion and support in the Soviet area, such as Caixi Township in Shanghang and Fangtu Township in Changting. In terms of joining the army, 65,438+10,000 people in the Soviet area in western Fujian joined the Red Army. Caixi District in Shanghang, Hongfang District in Changting, Huaitu District in Ninghua and Hekou District have all become models for Fujian to expand the Red Army. Zhong Fang Township, Changting District won the award flag of "Fighting for Defending Soviet Area" in Fujian Military Region. In supporting the front line, the people in the Soviet area in western Fujian supported the front line with great enthusiasm. In addition to organizing the masses to transport military supplies to the Red Army, they also actively donated money and materials, and donated food and military supplies. Only women made 65,438+10,000 pairs of cloth shoes in Shanghang and 200,000 pairs in Changting, and donated millet, meat, eggs, sugar and vegetables. In the winter of 1933, in order to sum up the experience in the construction of rural revolutionary base areas, Mao Zedong went to Caixi Township for more than 10 days and made an in-depth and detailed investigation, and wrote a brilliant book "Investigation of Caixi Township", which summarized and popularized the typical experience of Caixi Township in China.

With the further implementation of white terror by the Kuomintang reactionaries, in June, the Kuomintang army launched a crazy "encirclement and suppression" against the central revolutionary base area. The fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" failed because of the wrong leadership of Wang Ming's "Left" line. 1934 10 the main force of the red army made a 25,000-mile long March from Changting and ninghua in Fujian, Ruijin and Du Yu in Jiangxi.

Among the more than 80,000 Central Red Army soldiers who participated in the Long March, there were nearly 30,000 soldiers in western Fujian, almost all over the Red Army. The most concentrated ones were:

The thirty-fourth division of the Red Fifth Army Corps, with more than 6,000 people, was adapted from the original independent eighth, ninth and tenth divisions in western Fujian. 1934165438+1At the end of October, the Central Red Army stormed the Xiangjiang River and broke through the fourth blockade of the Kuomintang. The Red 34th Division was ordered to be the defender of the whole army, and most of the soldiers fought bloody battles in Xiangjiang River and died heroically.

There are more than 2,000 people in the 22nd Division of Hong Jiu Legion, which was adapted from the 35th Division of the Red Army 12 Army in western Fujian. In the battle of Gao Tai in western Gansu, most of them died heroically;

The third regiment of the first division of the Red Army Corps and the fifth and sixth regiments of the second division. Among them, the third and sixth regiments were adapted from the thirty-fourth division of the original Red Twelve Army in western Fujian. The Fifth Regiment was first reorganized from the Third Route Army in western Fujian into the 12th Division of the Third Column of the Red Fourth Army, then co-edited with the 11th Division of the Red Army, and changed to the 5th Regiment of the Second Division before the Long March. These regiments often served as forwards in the Long March, and they were unstoppable in the battles of crossing Xiangjiang River, outwitting Zunyi, flying over Luding Bridge and breaking through the natural barrier Lazikou. The 15th Division of the Red Army Corps and the 14th Division of the Red Army Corps each have a regiment, which is composed of soldiers from western Fujian, the former international division and the model worker division.

In the ranks of the Red Army's Long March, a large number of outstanding sons and daughters in western Fujian emerged, including Guo Diren, Huang Yaguang, Liu Yalou, Yang Chengwu, Liu Zhong, Luo Shunchu, Yuan,, Chen Renqi, Zhang Nansheng, Lu Rencan, Luke, Chen Zhongmei, Zhang Yuanpei, Su Qisheng, Leon, Xiong Kui, Zhang Yibu, Que, Wang Pingshui and Lai Guangxun. Lan Tinghui, Wang Guide, Qiu Guoguang, Liu, Ding Ganru, He Tingyi, Ye Qingshan, Huang Weihua, Tu Zesheng, Wu Dai, Tu, Lin Biao, Luo Hongbiao, Zhong Chi, Guo, Guo, Lin, Yang Shangni, Zhang Shuifa, Lin Wei, Liao Buyun, Bin Luo, Lan Wenzhao and Kong Junbiao. , Xiao, Lin Haiyun, Cao Juru, Tong, (female), Jiang,, Lei Haomao, Dai Zhengqi, (female), etc. Some of them have served as teachers, heads or political commissars of the Red Army, leading troops to defeat the enemy; Some work in the general staff departments at all levels and plan military aircraft; Some doctors and nurses save lives in the war; Some do local work and mobilize people of all ethnic groups along the way to support the Red Army. They made outstanding contributions in the Long March, among which more than 20,000 children in western Fujian gave their precious lives on the way.

After the Long March of the main Red Army, the Kuomintang reactionaries made a comeback, and hundreds of thousands of heavy troops brutally "cleared" the Soviet area in western Fujian, and the people in western Fujian were in a severe guerrilla warfare environment. 1in April, 935, a meeting of leaders of the party, government and army in western Fujian was held in Chizhai, Yongding, and the policy of "launching a wide-ranging, flexible and mass guerrilla war" was formulated. The Southwest Fujian Military and Political Committee was established, with Zhang Dingcheng as chairman, Deng Zihui as finance minister and democratic department (later vice chairman), Tan Zhenlin as military minister (later vice chairman) and Guo Yi as party secretary. Divide the Red Army guerrillas in southwest Fujian into three combat divisions. In, under the leadership of Zhang Dingcheng, Deng Zihui and Tan Zhenlin, the people of western Fujian and the Red Guerrilla persisted in waging an arduous guerrilla war.

In order to break the enemy's blockade and encirclement of the Red Army, the people in western Fujian tried their best to support and protect the Red Army guerrillas. Especially in the most difficult days of 1935, many people in the villages in the revolutionary base areas used their wisdom to create and invent more than 20 ingenious methods, such as "stringing salt" (pounding bamboo joints and putting the delivered goods into bamboo tubes), "double-tube rice manure" (putting fertilizer on the upper layer and rice on the lower layer) and "big-bag rice". They crossed the enemy blockade at the risk of their lives. Party member, from the Party branches of Houtian, Lijiashan and Dongkeng in Longyan, used his saved salt, vegetables, sweet potatoes and other materials as party dues and gave them to the Red Army guerrillas in the mountains. The masses would rather sacrifice themselves than protect the Red Army guerrillas. Once, the wounded of guerrillas lived in Dayang Sacrifice Village, Hulushan District, Yongding County. When the enemy found out, they surrounded the village with only eight families, gathered the whole village and asked the masses to tell them where the wounded lived. The crowd firmly replied, "We don't know." The crazy enemy pulled out three young people from the villagers and killed them in public, threatening to die, but the crowd gnashed their teeth and still didn't say where the injured lived. Huangtu Village, Laiyuan Township, Liancheng County, sent food and medicine to the Red Army guerrillas and covered the wounded and sick. The enemy captured 24 people in the village and killed them in Daping. Twenty-seven lives (including three pregnant women) were killed and became "uninhabited villages". The sufferings and threats of the enemy did not frighten the strong people. The broad masses of the people are still risking their lives to actively send messages to the Red Army guerrillas and cooperate with the fighting, so that the Red Army guerrillas have a strong backing, strengthened their confidence in defeating the enemy, and even sacrificed their lives to protect the people.

1938 65438+ 10, more than 2,600 Red Army guerrillas in southwest Fujian were reorganized into the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, with commander Zhang Dingcheng, deputy commander Tan Zhenlin, chief of staff Luo He and director of the Political Department. On March 1, this unit went to the anti-Japanese front line of Jiangsu and Anhui, opened up the anti-Japanese base area centered on Maoshan, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors. Party member and the revolutionary people who stayed in western Fujian waged a tit-for-tat struggle against the plot of the Kuomintang die-hards. 194 1 10 after the southern Anhui incident, the Kuomintang die-hards planned the "western Fujian incident" and stepped up their suppression of the revolutionary people in western Fujian. The local party organizations in western Fujian led the people to carry out a series of revolutionary struggles centered on "protecting cultivated land". There are 100 townships, and130,000 farmers have preserved more than 200,000 mu of land revolution achievements. 194 1 winter, the party organization moved to the mountains to hide and carry out the production self-sufficiency movement. 1943 and 10, the China * * * Fujian-Guangdong Border Committee decided to "restore armed self-defense and solve economic difficulties" and successively established the Southwest Fujian Armed Economic Work Corps. 1944 and 10 set up "Wang Tao detachment", with Liu Yongsheng as the detachment leader, Wu Xianke as the detachment leader and Chen Zhong as the detachment leader. In the winter of the same year, the "Kangrong detachment" was established, and the revolutionary armed forces in western Fujian launched a "rational, favorable and restrained tenacious self-defense struggle, which smashed the enemy's armed attacks many times.

1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war, and the people of the whole country rose up to fight. The Committee of the Border Region of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi carried out the policy of "striving for peace and democracy and implementing decentralized development" and left the guerrilla base areas. The China People's Liberation Army (PLA) East Guangdong detachment, which is developed with guerrilla fighters of Wangtao detachment in western Fujian as the backbone, is led by commander Liu Yongsheng and political commissar Wei Jinshui. Relying on the people in the border areas, it took western Fujian, southern Fujian, eastern Guangdong and Chaoshan areas under the rule of the Kuomintang as battlefields and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. During the struggle, the army has grown to more than 22,000 people (in addition to nearly 30,000 militiamen).

1In June, 947, the Central Working Committee of the Border Region of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi determined the general task of "planning and building the People's Liberation Army and the liberated areas in the Border Region of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi", mobilized the masses freely, launched guerrilla warfare extensively, opposed the "three levies" (opposing conscription, grain expropriation and taxation) and reduced rents and interest rates, thus smashing the "six-way attack" and "horizontal sweeping" of the Kuomintang army.

1949 On New Year's Day, the China People's Liberation Army column in the border region of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi was established, with commander Liu Yongsheng, political commissar Wei Jinshui, railway construction as deputy commander and chief of staff, and Zhu Manping as deputy political commissar. With the cooperation of the troops from the south, * * * annihilated more than 30,000 enemy troops, and successively liberated 30 counties in the border region of Fujian and Guangdong and Shantou city, and liberated the whole territory of western Fujian in the early days of 1 1.

In the struggle of the new-democratic revolution, the people in western Fujian were severely devastated by the Kuomintang reactionaries' "Three Lights" policy. According to incomplete statistics, there are 539 affected villages in the whole region, 65,438 houses were burned +0 16858, 90,722 houses were collapsed, 37,724 households were destroyed, 26,876 people were arrested and 65,438 people were forced to flee.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), there were 6 10 basic villages that were rated as firmly supporting the revolutionary armed forces' long-term struggle against the enemy, distributed in 7 counties (cities, districts), belonging to 67 townships (towns), 3 12 administrative villages, with 25,744 households, 1 16939. (According to the First Working Conference on Old Liberated Areas of the Provincial Party Committee 1952, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs 1979 "Discussion Minutes on the Division of Old Liberated Revolutionary Areas" and "Standards for the Division of Old Revolutionary Areas", there are 553 basic villages that should be evaluated but not evaluated); 7809 villages in the old revolutionary base areas, with 227469 households and 920 169 people; More than 23,600 martyrs died for the revolution (including 23 men182, 387 women, 53 people at the provincial level 15, 236 people at the county level, and 8 people were awarded the title of "model hero"). There are 9,003 families with 43,800 martyrs, accounting for about half of the total number of martyrs in the province; 620 disabled revolutionary soldiers; There are 1387 families without news; "Old people" 1530 1 person, including 2,402 old underground party member, 235 old traffic policemen, 358 old associates, 4,860 old guerrillas and 4,223 old Soviet area township cadres.

In 1950s and 1960s, there were 68 generals from western Fujian (including 2 generals, 7 lieutenant generals and 59 major generals), accounting for 82% of the total number of 83 generals in the province.

The people in western Fujian made great sacrifices and contributions to the victory of the China Revolution, and wrote a glorious page in the history of the China Revolution with their blood and lives.

In the long-term revolutionary struggle, the people of western Fujian have always been firm in the belief that the revolution will win, persistent in their pursuit, and the spirit of sharing weal and woe with their descendants, daring to struggle and innovate, and daring to win has been continuously carried forward in the construction of the socialist motherland, and they have won one brilliant victory after another.
