Xiang Jingyu: Unyielding? Absolutely loyal

On the top of the Guishan Mountain at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the trees are gray and quiet. The faithful bones of Xiang Hangyu are buried here, and on the solemn tombstone is the "Tomb of the Martyrs Xiang Hangyu" written by Deng Xiaoping ". Xiang Jingyu is the only female founder of the Communist Party of China, a proletarian revolutionist and one of the leaders of the women's liberation movement. In the harsh revolutionary struggle, she used her life to interpret her absolute loyalty to the cause of the party.

In July 1927, Wang Jingwei launched the "July 15" counter-revolutionary coup, and the three towns of Wuhan fell into white terror, making the revolutionary situation even more sinister. In November, Luo Yinong, the main person in charge of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, was transferred away and Xiang Jingyu took on the main leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and became an important target for the enemy to hunt down. Some comrades persuaded Xiang to move more than once, but she said firmly: "When there is a big wind and waves, you must be calm and calm! I must never leave! "Xiang Jingyu was not afraid to carry out activities in disguise as female workers and primary school teachers, which made great contributions to the organization and work of Hubei underground party. On March 20, 1928, Xiang Jingyu, alias Yi Xia, was arrested in Hankou French concession due to a traitor's informer. She was locked up in the prison of the Military Law Division of the Wuhan Garrison Command. The garrison commander came to "visit the prison". He "earnestly" persuaded the police: "Yi Xia, you are the first female member of the Communist Party and the first female minister of the Communist Party. It is a heavy responsibility. Unfortunately, you have gone the wrong way. Now, it is not too late to abandon the secret and throw the light! "The garrison commander also said that the party and the state cherish talents, he has to the" top "recommend to protect her as an official promotion, then handed to the police a letter of appointment.

In the face of the enemy's hypocrisy, Xiang yangyu said coldly, "the Communists only make calculations for the happiness of the people. I once set my mind, and it is my wish to save the country and the people! "Say, Xiang Hangyu tore the letter of appointment to pieces. The enemy became angry from embarrassment, and when he saw that the inducement failed, he ordered that he be punished. In the face of torture and brutal extortion of confessions, Xiang Hangyu always gritted his teeth and did not reveal a word about the party's secrets. She said righteously, "Kill if you want to kill! As for whether I want to go to the police, it doesn't matter much, you are all the executioners of the people! Revolutionaries don't survive with your butcher's knives! Wait, your end is tomorrow!"

The enemy was so angry that he killed Xiang. In the early morning of May 1, 1928, the executioners will be escorted to the execution ground. On the way to the execution ground, facing the crowd, Xiang Jingyu made his last impassioned speech: "I am Xiang Jingyu! I am a member of the Communist Party of China! I fought for the liberation of the working masses of workers and peasants, and shed blood and sacrifice! I die without regret! "Listen, the enemy panicked, frantically beat Xiang Hangyu, strangling her neck so that she could not speak. Xiang Jingyu struggled to break free, shouting with his head held high: "Long live the Communist Party of China! "Seeing this, the vicious enemy grabbed the stones on the ground and forced them into Xiang Jingyu's mouth, and tightly strangled her mouth and cheeks with a belt. The blood flowed down from the corners of her mouth, and the people along the way couldn't help but shed tears of grief and indignation. Subsequently, only 33-year-old Xiang Hangyu was shot by the enemy and died heroically.
