Kong Yuan’s personal deeds

Backbone of the Peasant Movement

The Anyuan party organization quickly discovered this good seedling. In the autumn of 1924, the Anyuan Youth League organization sent him to Pingxiang County Middle School to carry out revolutionary work such as the student movement and the youth movement with his public and legal status as a student. After entering Pingzhong, he first established a "mutual aid society" mass group in the school in accordance with the instructions of the league organization and personally served as the director-general of the mutual aid society. Soon it was changed to "Cequnshe", which was a peripheral organization of the Pingxiang Youth League. Most of the participants were progressive young students and teachers, as well as some handicraft workers in the county.

In 1925, in order to develop and strengthen the party organization and further carry out the student movement, Pingxiang Middle School established a student union, and he was elected as the president of the student union. During the Kuomintang cooperation period, Kong Yuan also served as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Department. The county party headquarters is completely under the control of the party organization. In 1926, the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived in Pingxiang. They mobilized and led the masses to post slogans, distribute leaflets, hold rallies, create revolutionary public opinion, inspire the people, disturb the morale of the enemy troops, inform the Northern Expeditionary Army of information, serve as their guides, etc., in order to cooperate and support the Northern Expedition. made important contributions. The impressive results of the student movement pushed Kong Yuan to the leadership positions of the picket director of the Pingxiang County Federation of Trade Unions and the member of the County Agricultural Association and director of military training. In 1926, in order to suppress the local tyrants and evil gentry, a special court in Pingxiang County was established to try the local tyrants and evil gentry after a liaison meeting between the Kuomintang county party headquarters and various revolutionary groups decided. Kong Yuan served as the president of the special court and became an early judge in Pingxiang.

In May 1927, the party organization sent Kong Yuan to the Wuhan Arsenal to buy guns. Because Wang Jingwei rebelled against the revolution, the revolutionary situation changed suddenly and the guns were not purchased. The party organization decided to send Kong Yuan to Nanchang to attend the Provincial Farmers' Congress, and he stayed in Nanchang to work from then on. On the eve of the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising, about 10 or 20 workers from Anyuan and some progressive students from Pingxiang Middle School went to Nanchang to find him. Kong Yuan, who was also the director of the Agricultural Cooperative Picketing and the Organization Director of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, introduced him to the event. Army, and later they participated in the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising together. From then on, Kong Yuan left Pingxiang and embarked on a new revolutionary course.

The rehabilitation of Zhang Guotao’s brother

In September 1984, the Pingxiang Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall was ready for display and was in the leadership review stage. Kong Yuan returned to Pingxiang and came to the Anyuan Hall to guide the work. After listening to the report on the display outline and display content of the Pingxiang Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall, he taught the staff earnestly.

Comrade Zhang Guoshu was an early leader of the Provincial Central Committee (former Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee). At that time, the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee was destroyed, and he was ordered to restore the party organization in the face of danger. The work was very difficult. He was arrested soon after taking office and was killed by the Kuomintang not long after. The couple sacrificed their precious lives for the party and the people.

Afterwards, in order to pursue the truth and clarify the facts, Kong Yuan sent people to the Central Archives, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places to check relevant newspapers and periodicals ("Shanghai Declaration") and other materials, and copied the relevant paragraphs in order to It proves that Comrade Zhang Guoshu did not surrender. On September 26, 1985, at the Capital Jingxi Hotel in Beijing, Kong Yuan met with relevant responsible comrades of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and solemnly discussed his views on this issue, and also pointed out some shortcomings in Pingxiang's propaganda. He also repeatedly stated: "The opinions I put forward may not be accurate. They (referring to the relevant comrades in charge of display and publicity in Pingxiang) are asked to report to the Pingxiang Municipal Party Committee. If the Municipal Party Committee has different opinions, they should report to the Provincial Party Committee, and the opinions of the Provincial Party Committee shall prevail." Later. , the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee instructed comrades from the Anyuan Memorial Hall and the Party History Office to submit relevant materials to the competent business departments step by step. Later, with the approval of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, Comrade Zhang Guoshu was exhibited and publicized as a martyr, restoring the true appearance of history.

In November 1986, Kong Yuan returned to Pingxiang to attend the 80th anniversary of Pingxiang Middle School. Kong Yuan was very happy to see the exhibition in the Martyrs Hall and the truth about history. Yang Guixiang, who was the director of the Anyuan Memorial Hall at the time, still clearly remembers that he was in a particularly good mood during the meal. During the dinner, his lover Comrade Zhang Hong did not let him drink more or eat hoof meat (because he suffered from hypertension). ), he was so excited that he couldn't listen at all, and stood up again and again to raise his glass.

Yin Yin Nostalgia

Comrade Kong Yuan has been engaged in secret work such as investigation and intelligence for a long time. Therefore, during his tenure, he rarely met people from his hometown. Despite this, Comrade Kong Yuan still showed his kindness and kindness. Nostalgic, I tried every means to meet some comrades from Pingxiang. For example, in 1958, he met with an agricultural delegation of more than 30 people organized by the Pingxiang County Party Committee in Beijing. He and Wu Lie, another leader from Pingxiang, invited Fu Kaizong, Liu Zhonghuan and other representatives to have dinner at the Wangfujing central leadership reception. Although there were guards standing guard at the door, which seemed a bit strict, during the meal, Kong Yuan and other leaders were particularly kind and kind. They asked about the production situation in their hometown, the living conditions of the people in their hometown, and where in Pingxiang you are from. Yeah...the exchange of greetings and laughter during the banquet drove away the strict and formal atmosphere, setting off an emotional wave of "fellows see fellows, tears well up in their eyes". Kong Yuan’s amiable and respectable voice and smile are still unforgettable to us!

After Kong Yuan was appointed as a member of the Central Advisory Committee in 1977, his work was not as intense as before. He seemed to want to make up for the nostalgia, family affection, and friendship he had lost before. In March 1979, he inspected the Sino-Vietnamese border and took the time to return to his hometown, where he met with city leaders, visited relatives and friends, and visited the Anyuan Memorial Hall. He happily wrote an inscription for the memorial hall, encouraging comrades engaged in party history propaganda to do a good job in party history propaganda: "We must march forward bravely to build a modern socialist China in the current new long march." After that, in September 1984 and 1986 In November, he returned to his hometown, visited his neighbors, alumni, and classmates, and met with comrades from the Party History Office of the Municipal Party Committee and the Anyuan Memorial Hall. When fellow Pingxiang people come to Beijing and ask for help, he always takes the time to warmly receive them and take care of them as much as possible.

When Kong Yuan returned to Pingxiang in November 1986, the leaders of Anyuan Town and Zhangjiawan Village invited him to go back to the old house where he lived, because the original house was dilapidated and the village It has been repaired. He was invited to go, and when he arrived at the Kongjiawuchang in Jiuliping, the villagers stood there spontaneously waiting to greet him. Kong Yuan was overjoyed and excited! He shook hands with the villagers and greeted them one by one. He also cordially asked the older people about the names and conditions of some of their neighbors. After hearing their clear answers, he expressed his deep gratitude and sincerely invited them to visit Beijing.

Then Kong Yuan walked into his old house and said to the town and village leaders in a happy and grateful tone: "Thank you for repairing the house! But don't put up the sign. I am nothing, I will join the revolution." "It is my duty to work for the party and the people, and there is nothing to promote. I will not come back to live in this house, so let the neighbors with families live in it." Later, the leaders of the town and village followed Kong Yuan's advice. The opinions were adopted. Although Kong Yuan's house is not listed for publicity, it has become a testimony of Kong Yuan's noble character of caring for his fellow villagers and people, and will forever be engraved in the hearts of the people of Anyuan, Pingxiang.
