The Hongyan spirit is a great revolutionary spirit cultivated, tempered and condensed in the practice of revolutionary struggle for national independence and people's liberation in Chongqing, the ruling center of the Kuomintang regime, and the areas under the jurisdiction of the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, during the period of the all-round Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation when modern China was facing a major historical turning point. Its formation and development in the concrete practice of the new democratic revolution, carrying the original intention and mission of the Communists, is the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese Communists and the Chinese nation. Since entering the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly expounded the spirit of Hongyan many times, and clearly proposed at the party history study and education mobilization meeting to educate and guide the whole party to vigorously carry forward the red tradition, inherit the red gene, and continue the spiritual blood of the Communists. always maintain the fearless spirit of the revolutionaries, and muster the spirit of marching into a new journey and forging ahead into a new era. This has further pointed out the direction for us to deepen our understanding of the Hongyan spirit, carry forward the great Hongyan spirit, and take the long march of the new era.
　　Accurately Grasp the Cultivation and Formation Process of Hongyan Spirit
The emergence of any great spirit always has its specific historical background and development context. The Hongyan spirit clearly embodies the theme and historical mission of the times during the period of the all-out Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, and its cultivation and formation process has gone through three important historical stages.
The Southern Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China headed by Zhou Enlai cultivated and formed the Hongyan spirit in the struggle to develop and strengthen the anti-Japanese national united front. During the period of the all-round Anti-Japanese War, under the correct leadership and guidance of the CPC Central Committee, the Communists and revolutionaries of the Southern Bureau, represented by Zhou Enlai and Dong Biwu, held high the banner of the anti-Japanese national United front in the complex and harsh environment of the Kuomintang-controlled area, extensively United the anti-Japanese democratic forces, promoted the development of the democratic movement, and enhanced the prestige of the Communist Party in the country and the world, taking "consolidating the party ideologically, politically, and organizationally" as an "extremely serious task" and "the decisive factor in accomplishing the party's political tasks" has effectively enhanced the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the Southern Bureau. it has created a new situation in the party's revolutionary United front and party building, and cultivated and formed the Hongyan spirit in the process.
The CPC delegation headed by Mao Zedong further enriched and developed the Hongyan spirit during the negotiation struggle in Chongqing. At an important historical turning point after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, for the future of the country and the destiny of the nation, a delegation of the Communist Party of China composed of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Wang Ruofei flew to Chongqing to conduct peace negotiations with the Kuomintang government of Chiang Kai-shek. During the negotiations, Comrade Mao Zedong was calm and composed. While fighting tit-for-tat with the Kuomintang government, he met frankly with friends from all walks of life and carried out extensive united front work. In order to safeguard the results of the Chongqing negotiations and the resolutions of the CPPCC, the Communists of the Southern Bureau continued to develop a broad people's democratic united front and further enriched and developed the Hongyan spirit.
The heroic group of Geleshan, represented by Jiang Zhuyun, Chen Ran and Wang Pu, further forged and condensed the spirit of Hongyan in the struggle in prison. During the War of Liberation, the Refuse Cave and the White Mansion in Geleshan were hell on earth for the detention and killing of revolutionaries. After the "Southern Anhui Incident", Ye Ting, a former commander of the New Fourth Army, was imprisoned here. Outstanding Communist Party members Luo Shiwen, Che Yaoxian, and Jiang Zhuyun were all killed here. In the face of the enemy's torture, the Chinese Communists detained here insisted on fighting the enemy under extremely difficult conditions in prison. Even at the last moment of his life, he used blood and life to condense eight "opinions in prison", leaving the party organization with "blood and tears" to administer the party strictly ". The feats of the heroes of Geleshan were further forged and condensed into the spirit of Hongyan.
　　Deep Understanding of the Rich Connotation of Hongyan Spirit
The Hongyan spirit is a concentrated reflection of the lofty ideals, firm beliefs, noble sentiments and excellent characters of proletarian revolutionaries, communists and revolutionaries. Its connotation is rich and embodied in: rock-solid ideals and beliefs, concerted patriotism, and arduous awe-inspiring fighting spirit and indomitable awe-inspiring righteousness.
Rock-solid ideals and beliefs are the political soul of the Hongyan spirit. Ideals and beliefs are the political soul of communists. In the stormy revolutionary war years, Hongyan's ancestors shouldered the heavy mission from resisting foreign enemies to national liberation. The reason why they were able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the way forward in the harsh struggle environment and cope with the unimaginable risks and tests lies in their firm belief in Marxism, belief in communism and absolute loyalty to the party and the people. Inspired and influenced by this ideal and belief, the Southern Bureau combined Marxism with the revolutionary reality in the Kuomintang-ruled areas, creatively implemented the line, principles and policies of the CPC Central Committee, and made outstanding contributions to the struggle for national independence and the liberation of the people. Whether it is Zhang Wenbin who "would rather die in prison than crawl out on his knees"; Lu Xuzhang, a red capitalist who dealt with the "devil"; Or He Gongwei, who generously said before his sacrifice that "I only need to rest and pledge to fight for the truth"; There is also Jiang Zhujun, who continued the revolution in the great grief of losing her husband and leaving her young son, who experienced all kinds of torture after being arrested and remained steadfast and unyielding. They all cast the eternal beacon and immortal monument of the Communist Party with their ordinary bodies.
The patriotic feeling of working together is the practice of Hongyan spirit. Upholding unity is a fine tradition of the Communist Party. During the period of the all-round Anti-Japanese War, in the face of the continuous friction and division of the Chiang Kai-shek Kuomintang clique within the United Front, three anti-communist climaxes were launched successively, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Southern Bureau headed by Zhou Enlai, under the correct leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with its magnificent bearing and inclusive mind, always put the national interests of the country first, and strive to safeguard the cooperation between the Communist Party, actively unite and win over progressive people and international friends from all walks of life, walk with all sincerity, and look at the world to make friends, thus effectively changing the class power balance of the Chinese revolution, and laying a solid foundation for winning the final victory of the Anti Japanese War and promoting the development of the Chinese revolution. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, for the realization of domestic peace, democracy, and unity, Mao Zedong, regardless of his personal safety, resolutely went to Chongqing to negotiate with the Chiang Kai-shek Kuomintang government. This once again confirms the patriotic feelings of the Communists in working together for the interests of the country and the people.
The arduous and awe-inspiring fighting spirit is the inner backbone of the Hongyan spirit. The spirit of struggle is the political quality of the Communist Party. In the Kuomintang-ruled area, the ancestors of the Hongyan Revolution stood upright in adversity and danger, and pioneered in the crisis and dilemma, which fully demonstrated that the Chinese Communists and the enemy dared to fight tit-for-tat, and were good at fighting for the interests of the nation. The awe-inspiring fighting spirit of persisting in the struggle to the end for faith and belief. After the Anti-Japanese War entered the stalemate stage, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to annex the Communist Party, the Communists of the Southern Bureau headed by Zhou Enlai dared to fight and categorically rejected the unreasonable demands of the Kuomintang with the word "impossible. In the face of the Kuomintang's policy of "dissolving the Communist Party, preventing the Communist Party, restricting the Communist Party, and opposing the Communist Party", the Southern Bureau adhered to the struggle principle of "reasonable, beneficial, and moderate", and made full use of the art of fighting between hardness and softness, which expanded the political influence of the Communist Party of China and effectively safeguarded the situation of the people from all walks of life and all parties based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In the course of the Chongqing negotiations, the Communist Party of China, represented by Mao Zedong, combined the firmness of the principles of the struggle with the flexibility of the strategy with amazing revolutionary courage and superb struggle strategy, and firmly grasped the initiative of the struggle. Chiang Kai-shek was forced to accept the principle of peaceful and democratic nation-building and signed the "double Ten Agreement." In order to build a brand-new China, the Communists imprisoned in Zhazidong and Baigongguan prisons would rather sit through the bottom of the prison and insist on fighting the enemy to the end.
The indomitable awe-inspiring righteousness is the personality portrayal of the Hongyan spirit. It is the political nature of the Communist Party to stress righteousness. In the sinister and arduous living environment, the ancestors of the Hongyan Revolution went through fire and water for the interests of the nation, the country, and the people, fully demonstrating the Communists' unswerving revolutionary feelings, the noble character of the mud and the heroic spirit of preferring death to surrender. The corrupt and depraved environment in the Kuomintang ruled area is like a quagmire. The Communists of the Southern Bureau fighting in this special environment, whether it is an open struggle or underground work, whether it is fighting in the political arena, or the ups and downs of the business world, always adhere to the ideals and beliefs of the Communists. Moral sentiment and professional ethics, "Mighty cannot frustrate its anger, profit cannot move its heart", willing to be lonely but not to hear, and always maintain the noble. Zhou Enlai has repeatedly warned the staff of the Southern Bureau and party members engaged in secret work to "flow in the same stream without pollution, and get out of the sludge without being stained". After the Southern Anhui Incident, Zhou Enlai and others expressed that "we should stick to the end" for the sake of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. "We should prepare for the worst and be prepared to sacrifice. We should sacrifice together!" On the eve of the liberation of Chongqing, Xu Xiaoxuan, Wang Pu, Chen Ran and other Communist Party members and revolutionaries who were detained in the Zhazidong under the Gele Mountain and the Baigongguan Prison showed no fear in the face of danger, and were unyielding and meticulous in the face of death. It vividly interprets the unyielding integrity of the Communists.
