Zhongguan County Party History Exhibition Hall

This exhibition hall was once the seat of the Western Shandong Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Northwest Shandong Prefectural Committee, the Seventh Prefectural Committee of Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and the First Prefectural Committee of Southern Hebei. There are 30 existing houses. Song Renqiong, Duan Junyi, Zhao Jianmin, Yang Yichen, Xu Mengxia and other older generation revolutionaries once worked and lived here. In the years of war, it was like a beacon guiding the people of Guan County and northwest Shandong in their long and arduous struggle.

As early as 1926, Qi Huiyun joined the Communist Youth League in Jinan and returned to his hometown to establish a six-member Youth League branch. Before that, some young students in Guan County, such as Zhang Haoran, Cun Lingjun, Zhang Yongchun, and Ren Changshan, etc. went to study abroad, accepted Marxist-Leninist theory, and joined the Communist Party of China in the early days of the First Civil Revolutionary War. Working underground in other places. In the summer of 1932, Zhao Jianmin was admitted to the First Rural Normal School of Jinan Province and joined the Communist Youth League of China in November of the same year. He returned to Guan County in February 1934 and introduced Sun Hong, Sha Yanxiao and Feng Gancai. From then on, there were party activities in Guan County.

In 1936, the Guan County Special Branch was established; soon after, it was renamed Guan County Working Committee, Guan County County Committee, and Central County Committee. Wang Weiqun serves as secretary. So far, the county has developed more than 50 party members, 18 grassroots branches, and 3 district committees.

After the "July 7" Incident, the majority of the people faced the disaster of national subjugation and genocide. However, how can the children of Yan and Huang be enslaved by Japanese pirates, and how can the sacred land of China be trampled by foreign countries! At this critical moment of life and death, the Guan County party organization was the mainstay, holding high the banner of national resistance against Japan, leading the people of the county to raise their unyielding backbone, and began the arduous eight-year war of resistance!

In the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Guan County and northwest Shandong, the story of "seven great daughters and seven great sons-in-law" is widely circulated. They are: Lin Bin - Yang Yong, Hong Lin - Zeng Siyu, Qi Tao - Gao Yuangui, Zhang Kun - Xu Mengxia, Wang Zhenfan - Hei Boli, Sha Xiaolu - Xu Yunbei, Wang Huiying - Li Kuiju. On one side, they are famous anti-Japanese generals who feared the enemy, and on the other side, they are heroines of the Hui youth in Guan County. Their youth shined in the years of war, and their love matured when "the two armies marched parallel in front of the formation".

During the Anti-Japanese War, the figures and footprints of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Geng, Song Renqiong, Yang Dezhi, Yang Yong, Yang Yichen and Zhao Jianmin were left in the Guanxian area. The regional party and government leading organs and divisional troops were stationed here for a long time, and it was known as "Little Yan'an on the northwest plains of Shandong" at that time; in this county with a population of 170,000, 15,000 people joined the army, and 1,908 heroes and sons and daughters were bloody on the battlefield. The people of Guan County made great sacrifices and contributions to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, came to Guan County three times during the war years. The first time was in 1938, the second time was in 1939, and the third time was in 1946.

On November 15 and December 5, 1939, Deng Xiaoping, political commissar of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, held important meetings respectively in Shenggouwan Village and Yingzhen Village on the banks of the Zhangwei River to provide support to the military and civilians in northwest Shandong. Perseverance in the war of resistance pointed the way.

In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war to fight for the fruits of victory. In July, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping led the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army from the Taihang Mountains into the plains of northwest Shandong, and crossed the Zhangwei River from Shenggouwan Village to Guanxian County. Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping established the river crossing headquarters in Shenggouwan Village and lived in the village for seven days.

During the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, the people of Guan County made huge sacrifices and contributions to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of the country.

During the Anti-Japanese War, 15,000 people from Guan County, with a population of 170,000, joined the army, and 1,908 heroes and heroines were bloody on the battlefield.

During the War of Liberation, Guan County, as an old liberated area, shouldered the historical responsibility of "strategic backing" and became the base and guarantee for frontline soldiers and material supplies.

In order to win the War of Liberation, the people of the whole county mobilized to fully support Liu and Deng's army in forcibly crossing the Yellow River and advancing into the Central Plains. In the entire year from July 1946 to July 1947, the county's Communist Party provided more than 600,000 combat support personnel, dispatched 2,029 militiamen, participated in the war for 86,000 days, and dispatched 3,481 stretchers and 27,848 people. There were 190 transport trucks and 5,358 transfer trucks, 1,238,000 kilograms of rice and flour were milled, hundreds of thousands of pairs of military shoes were made, and more than 10 million yuan was donated.

The people of Guanxian County, who had just conquered Japan and survived the famine, although their lives were still very difficult, still made selfless contributions to the cause of liberation of China without hesitation, fully demonstrating the fine revolutionary tradition of the people in the old district. and a high degree of political consciousness.

In November 1946, the Second Field and Second Column of the People's Liberation Army established a "rear hospital" in the north of the city, located in more than 20 villages. In three years, the hospital has received more than 30,000 sick and wounded patients. Laundry teams have been set up in villages where sick and sick patients are stationed to disassemble and wash clothes and make shoes and socks for the sick and wounded. Among them, Zhao Haiying, director of the Women's Federation of Houzhangping Village and member of the Communist Party of China, was rated as a special model for supporting the army by Jinan District.

Guan County is known as the mother county of cadres. For the sake of national victory and construction, during the War of Liberation, Guan County organized two groups of cadres to go north to support the construction of Northeast China and Beijing and Tianjin; and organized four groups of cadres to go south with the army to open up new areas and take over power. This alone has sent nearly 400 cadres to all parts of the country. As for the cadres sent out through the army, plus the cadres transferred during the Anti-Japanese War and the early days of liberation, the number is even greater. (In October 1945, a prefectural committee in southern Hebei transferred powerful cadres to work in the Northeast. On the 24th, Deputy Secretary of the Prefectural Committee Yang Yichen and Commissioner Zhou Chiheng led more than 100 cadres from Nanjie to work in the Northeast.)

The purpose of establishing the Zhongguan County Party History Exhibition Hall is to excavate, organize and make good use of the rich party history resources in Guan County, and to carry out patriotism and revolutionary traditions among the cadres, masses and young people in the county. Education, carry out advanced nature education for Communist Party members, and call on the people of the whole county to unite and work hard, forge ahead and make Guan County better under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China. At the same time, it will add a red tourist attraction to Guan County, expand the popularity of Guan County, and influence and promote the healthy development of urban construction, culture, education and tourism in the county.
