Photos, information and heroic deeds of the little hero Liu Hulan

Liu Hulan (October 8, 1932 - January 12, 1947), formerly known as Liu Fulan, was a native of Yunzhouxi Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province. Famous revolutionary martyr and outstanding Communist Party member.

Liu Hulan went to the village primary school at the age of 8 and joined the children's league at the age of 10. She entered the Women's Cadre Training Class of the Communist Party of China in 1945. In 1946, she went to Yunzhouxi Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province to do women's work, serving as secretary and later director of the Women's Rescue Society, and became an alternate member of the Communist Party of China. He was recruited as a probationary member of the Communist Party of China at the age of 14 and died heroically at the age of 15. Chairman Mao Zedong was very sad when he found out about it and specially wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "Greatness in life, glory in death." She is also the only hero to whom three generations of leaders have inscribed their names.

On the night of January 11, 1947, her superiors notified her of transfer. At dawn the next day, the Kuomintang suddenly surrounded Yunzhou West Village, escorted Shi Sanhuai, who had been arrested earlier, back to the village, and forced the entire village to gather at the Guanyin Temple. Liu Hulan was arrested for informing the traitor. She also came to the venue with the crowd. The Kuomintang arrested Shi Shihui, Chen Shurong, Liu Shushan, Zhang Niancheng, etc. on the spot and forced her to appear and confess. During the interrogation, the Kuomintang tried every possible means, using both soft and hard tactics, to induce her to reveal her accomplices and promise her land. Liu Hulan refused to obey in every possible way and died calmly.
