Deng Zihui's Medicine Box

Deng Zihui, an outstanding proletarian revolutionist and politician, used this medical kit in Zhangpu more than 80 years ago, and it is now displayed in the glass cabinet of the Zhangpu County Revolutionary History Memorial Hall. At that time, Deng Zihui, carrying a medical kit and dressed as a village doctor, went to villages in the western part of Zhangpu, such as small mountain city, ivory village and neighboring counties in Pinghe and Nanjing, secretly mobilized the masses, established peasant associations and established revolutionary base areas. His luggage was stored in Wu's residence in Puwei Natural Village, Ivory Village. After 1949, the owner of the house sent Deng Zihui's used clothes box and medicine box as revolutionary cultural relics to the Party History Research Office of Zhangpu County Party Committee, leaving a physical witness.

Deng Zihui lit the beacon of the mountain city in Zhangpu, organized the Red Three Regiment, and wrote the "Investigation Report on the Small Mountain City of Zhangpu" on March 20, 1932, detailing the situation of organizing farmers' anti-donation and armed struggle. He connected with the peasants and became one with each other. He would not only check the pulse and treat people, but also diagnose social suffering and prescribe a good prescription for revolutionary struggle, thus quickly creating a new revolutionary situation.

Deng Zihui was appointed by the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in December 1931. As an inspector of the Xiamen Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he came to Zhangpu and other places. The task was to change the purely military views of the Zhangzhou guerrillas and make the guerrilla activities closely related to the mass struggle. stand up. After listening to the report of the guerrilla leaders, Deng Zihui believed that the mountainous area at the junction of Jinghepu in the west, far away from Zhangpu County, was a good place to establish a base area. He came to the small mountain town village of pomegranate town in Zhangpu county to lead the peasants to carry out armed anti-donation struggle, to publicize revolutionary principles among the masses, to establish secret peasant associations in ivory village and surrounding villages, and to respond and support the armed struggle in the small mountain town.

Deng Zihui wrote in his recollection article: "this place (referring to Shancheng Village) is located at the junction of Nanjing, Pinghe and Zhangpu counties. The enemy's ruling power is relatively weak, with high mountains and dense forests, dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a good place to create a red guerrilla area. "The mass movement in the small mountain city has grown from small to large, from economic struggle to political struggle, from peaceful struggle to armed struggle, from anti-taxation and banning grain, distribution of grain to distribution of fields. This development foundation is relatively stable, and it is in the struggle. Cultivate the backbone of leadership. In a short period of time, the masses were victorious on their own. From this we can see that the interests of the masses have to be fought for by themselves, and the mass struggle is replaced by gifts. The consciousness of the masses is not raised high, the boundary between ourselves and the enemy is not clear, and it is easy to be deceived by the landlords. After the struggle, the masses are different, and they know very well who is the enemy and who is the friend. "In terms of struggle strategy, he gradually guided the peasants from economic struggle to political struggle, armed struggle and agrarian revolution, thus quickly creating a group of rural soviets, developing a red area with a population of more than 40000 on the Jinghepu border around the mountain city village, and opening up a rural revolutionary base with Zhangpu mountain city as the center.

Although Deng Zihui has only been in Zhangpu for a short period of half a year, he has deep revolutionary feelings for the people of Zhangpu and remembers this revolutionary experience in Zhangpu. After liberation, this outstanding revolutionary personally replied to the old contact household, Comrade Wu Huoming, the head of the original Red Guard of Ivory Zhuang, in his busy schedule, encouraging him to make new contributions to socialist construction. He also wrote the article "Beacon Fire in the Small Mountain City", recalling the revolutionary course in Zhangpu, providing and enriching the precious historical facts of the Zhangpu revolution, and leaving precious spiritual wealth for the people of Zhangpu. On June 24, 1962, he personally wrote an inscription to the newly edited "Zhangpu County Annals": "Carry forward the heroic spirit of the Zhangpu people's hard struggle during the revolutionary period, according to the party's general line of socialist construction and the simultaneous development of industry and agriculture, large, medium and small, The policy of simultaneous development of soil and ocean will build Zhangpu County into a paradise for a socialist society with economic prosperity, political unity, and cultural prosperity! "ardent expectations are placed on the people of zhangpu.
