An Important Early Leader of the Communist Party of China -- Luo Yinong

"Zhe Shi, farewell forever. The spirit and knowledge will embrace you forever. I hope you will learn what I have learned to comfort me."
This is the eternal warmth that Luo Yinong left to his wife, and it is also a bright expectation for the world.
On April 21, 1928, Luo Yinong was only 26 years old. He became the first member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to die.
Luo Yinong used his hot life to turn into a long-term fire, piercing the night sky and lighting the dawn.
Today, let's get closer together.
Party Member Model Luo Yinong
Luo Yinong was born in Xiangtan, Hunan in 1902.
In 1919, after the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, the 17-year-old Luo Yinong resolutely left his hometown despite the opposition of his parents and came to Shanghai, which he had been longing for for for a long time, to find the truth of saving the country and the people.
He got a job as a proofreader at a small newspaper in the French Concession. This not only solves the problem of accommodation, but also can read all kinds of books and periodicals in the newspaper office in his spare time.
New Youth magazine, like the torch of enlightenment, shines the dawn of Marxism into Luo Yinong's heart. Chen Duxiu became an idol he admired. After many inquiries, Luo Yinong finally learned Chen Duxiu's address in Shanghai, so he visited the star of Chinese thought.
Chen Duxiu, Li Hanjun, Yu Xiusong, Shi Cuntong, Chen Gongpei, etc., established China's first early Communist Party organization in Shanghai. In order to train the early organizational cadres of the Shanghai Party and make all kinds of preparations for studying in the Soviet Union, they founded the Foreign language Society.
At that time, the early party organization of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai selected revolutionary youth in batches to study at the Communist University of Oriental Laborers in Moscow. Luo Yinong with outstanding performance, became the first batch of selected students.
Moscow was the center of the international communist movement. Here, the students can not only systematically study Marxist Leninist works, but also greatly expand the political vision of observation and thinking.
As a result of serious study, study hard, Luo Yinong's Russian level by leaps and bounds. Soon, he was able to directly understand the teacher's lectures and read Russian books and periodicals fluently. He can interpret the newly published Lenin's works into Chinese and explain them to his classmates. As a result, Luo Yinong's dormitory has become the second classroom for Chinese students to solve their learning difficulties, and it is always crowded with people after class.
In the winter of 1921, Luo Yinong changed from a member of the Socialist Youth League to a member of the Communist Party of China. Due to his strong organizational ability and high prestige among his classmates, he was elected secretary of the Moscow branch of the Communist Party of China and introduced Liu Shaoqi to join the Communist Party of China.
In January 1924, the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party accelerated the pace of the Chinese revolution, and the great revolution was surging. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is in urgent need of a large number of cadres who can be responsible for guiding and independent work. Luo Yinong, who received the order, immediately set foot on the way home and went into the fiery battle.
In October 1925, Luo Yinong went north from Guangdong to attend the first enlarged meeting of the Fourth Central Executive Committee of the party. After the meeting, Li Dazhao specifically found Luo Yinong.
Li Dazhao appreciated this young man who had returned from Soviet Russia and had extraordinary abilities. He sincerely hopes that Luo Yinong can stay in Beijing, preside over the work of the Party School of the Northern District Committee, and serve as the first president. Luo Yinong readily agreed.
On the second day after the start of school, Luo Yinong lived in the school and studied and lived with the students. His class, logical, reasoned and passionate, is very popular with students.
Luo Yinong works late every day. He wasted all his energy and enthusiastically sowed the revolutionary fire. In this secret little world, he eagerly hoped to impart everything he had learned in Soviet Russia to these young party members without reservation.
Two months later, Luo Yinong was appointed secretary of the Shanghai District CPC Committee by the CPC Central Committee. He finished his work in the party school and immediately rushed to Shanghai to take up his post.
After Luo Yinong came to Shanghai at the end of 1925, he secretly held training classes to train more than 100 backbones, and quickly restored and expanded the party organization to accumulate strength for the revolution.
In October 1926 and February 1927, Shanghai workers held two armed uprisings, without success. But Luo Yinong was not discouraged. With his encouragement and encouragement, the emotions of the comrades were once again ignited.
On March 21, 1927, Luo Yinong issued the order of the third armed uprising.
At 12 noon, ships and sirens from various factories on the Huangpu River sounded in unison. 800000 workers in Shanghai begin a general strike. Trams stopped running, ships broke down, shops closed, schools went on strike. At 1 p.m., the general strike turned into an armed uprising. Workers' pickets launched an onslaught on the various strongholds of the reactionary warlords.
At 6: 00 p.m. the next day, Zhabei railway station stronghold was successfully captured by workers.
So far, after 30 hours of bloody fighting, the third armed uprising of Shanghai workers has won a complete victory.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup d'etat, killing communists and workers' pickets. In just three days, more than 300 people have been killed, more than 1000 arrested and more than 5000 are missing. During the crisis, Luo Yinong was ordered to be transferred from Shanghai. His name, however, has since been on the death list of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
At the end of 1927, Luo Yinong returned to Shanghai again despite the danger. Because of the traitor's betrayal, Luo Yinong was unfortunately arrested. In the face of torture interrogation, he was determined not to reveal any party secrets.
On April 21, 1928, under the heavy escort of the enemy, 26-year-old Luo Yinong walked calmly into the execution ground. In the face of the gun, he was firm-eyed, fearless, and generous.
The next day, "Shen Bao" published a large photo in a prominent position, entitled "Famous Communist Party Luo Yinong Shooting Photography". Luo Yinong in the photo, lying on his back on the grass, tall. Although his face has long been blurred due to the long history of the times, the text next to the photo allows us to understand the real situation of him when he was sentenced: "Luo Yinong", "wearing a straight tweed jacket, gray serge robe, The clothes are very neat".
When the bad news came, Li Zhe, his wife, who had just been married for 4 months, was heartbroken and devastated. Two days later, Zhou Enlai brought a note, a letter from Luo Yinong.
"Zhe Shi, farewell forever. The spirit and knowledge will embrace you forever. I hope you will learn what I have learned to comfort me."
This short 25-word last word is full of enthusiasm and sincerity, and it is also full of perseverance. Knowing that her husband's career was unfinished and he ended up with hatred. Li Zhe endured his grief and went to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow to study. After returning home, he devoted himself to Chinese women's work.
Countless successors have also learned what they have learned, struggled and sacrificed, and changed China and the world in a hundred years.
