Early experience

Hu youyou was born on September 1, 1911 in a merchant family in Fenggang county, Guizhou Province. Fenggang, located in the Dalou mountains in the northeast of Guizhou Plateau, is a poor mountain area with the so-called "no three li ping in the land and no three cent silver in the people". Hu Huaizhong, his father, ran the business of yellow silk and salt. Unfortunately, he died in the flash flood in his early years. Hu youyou has a brother and a sister. Hu youyou has a stubborn personality since childhood. His sister always likes to call him "brother Niu". He was a private school student at the age of six and a senior primary school student at the age of fourteen. He is intelligent and diligent. He is one of the best students in the county. Every time the school takes an exam, he is always at the top of the list. In 1929, Hu youyou passed the provincial Guiyang normal school with excellent results. After six years in school, he achieved excellent results and won the teacher's esteem. He not only studied the texts seriously, but also liked to read literary works and progressive books and periodicals. Under the influence of progressive teachers and the influence of revolutionary thoughts, he sympathized with the working people, dissatisfied with the poison of imperialism, feudal warlords and bureaucrats on the people of Guizhou, and determined to smash the evil old society and serve the working people. When he graduated from Guiyang Normal University in 1935, he was passing by Guizhou during the long march of the Red Army. The Red Army's forced crossing of Wujiang River, flying over Loushan and conquering Zunyi took place near his hometown. The victory of the Red Army inspired the suffering masses of all ethnic groups in Guizhou and aroused Hu youyou's strong desire to join the revolution.

Revolutionary career

In 1936, when he was working in Guiyang Sino Soviet cultural association, he was introduced to join the Communist Party of China. Soon after, he was admitted to Wuchang private Chinese University, and used his spare time to set up Yunnan Guizhou monthly to publicize revolutionary ideas. After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese war in 1937, Hu youyou returned to Guiyang to study in private Daxia University. In the name of "reading forum" and "wartime scientific forum", he organized progressive youth to study revolutionary theory, read Xinhua Daily, discuss current affairs, and explore the grand plan of resisting Japan and saving the nation. On August 13 of the same year, he was arrested by the authorities because he actively participated in and organized the "vanguard of the Chinese nation's Liberation" and published the people's Guide newspaper. After half a month in prison, he did not give in and sang "the song of the Democratic pioneers" with the arrested "democratic pioneers" every day. He wrote in his diary: "for the sake of democratic liberation, this struggle has added a lot of experience and lessons. We should maintain our fine tradition and continue to work hard." After being released on bail from prison by his relatives and friends, he taught in the primary school affiliated to Guiyang Normal University, founded primary education weekly, and continued to engage in Anti Japanese propaganda. At the same time, he studied Russian in Guiyang Branch, a Russian language specialized school sponsored by the Sino Soviet cultural association, so as to make full preparations for studying revolutionary theory and construction skills in the Soviet Union in the future. In the autumn of 1939, Hu youyou left Guiyang for Chongqing to study in Yan'an Anti Japanese university. Because the Kuomintang reactionaries launched the first anti Communist climax, they wantonly hunted and killed young people who went to northern Shaanxi. With the consent of the party organization, he came to Chongqing China Vocational Education Society to work and carry out united front activities, which won the praise of Huang Yanpei, the head of the society, and Shen Junru, a famous Democrat. After Chiang Kai Shek made the "Southern Anhui Incident", the white terror in Chongqing became more serious. He moved to northern Sichuan to do underground work. In 1943, he returned to Chongqing and taught in Cuntan central school, Guangyi middle school, Jianchuan middle school and Zhonghua Vocational School. Under the leadership of the youth group of the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, he actively carried out revolutionary activities according to the instructions of "study hard, work hard and make friends diligently". During this period, his relatives and friends in his hometown repeatedly urged him to return to Guizhou to run for the National Congress. Some people also recommended him to be the head of Fenggang county and the director of Zunyi education. He politely declined. He said, "I'm not interested in political work. What I love is education." In fact, he abandoned his personal reputation completely for the need of revolution and obeyed the party's decision to stay in Chongqing to engage in revolutionary struggle. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee moved to Nanjing, and the Party established the Sichuan Provincial Committee in Chongqing. The next year, the underground Chongqing Municipal Committee was established. At that time, under the leadership of Peng Yongwu, a member of the municipal Party committee, Hu youyou was mainly engaged in the work of student movement. In order to better lead and carry out the student movement in the city, the municipal Party committee decided to set up three special branches of the student movement, namely, shaci, Beibei and the South Bank of the city. Hu youyou served as the Secretary of Beibei special branch and was responsible for the party organization and school movement in Beibei. Beibei is one of the important cultural areas in Chongqing. There are dozens of middle and large schools, such as rural construction college, Xianghui school movement and Mianren middle school. The party is relatively strong. The party members are respectively led by the youth group of Nanfang Bureau and the local Party organizations in Chongqing and Baxian. In the same school, there are three systems that are not connected with each other and do not form a unified fighting organization. Hu youyou first spent a lot of effort to clean up relations and establish a unified Party branch. One summer day in 1947, the sun was burning in the mountain city. Hu youyou came to Lianhuachi in the city against the fierce sun to assign work to Gan Guangyu, a student Party member of Xiangjian University. After listening to Gan Guangyu's report on the situation of the University, he also conveyed to Gan the decision of the municipal Party committee: "to establish a unified branch of Xiangjian University, you should be the Secretary of the branch. When you go back, you should mobilize the student organizations as soon as possible." Later, under the direct leadership of Hu Youyou, the student movement in Beibei hit the Kuomintang reactionaries hard. Our party's organizational development work was also very active, and a number of outstanding young people joined the organization.

Heroic sacrifice

In the spring of 1948, just when the patriotic student movement was so powerful that the enemy was in a mess, the secret service found the advance newspaper, which was secretly printed and distributed by the Chongqing municipal Party committee. Then, traitors appeared in the party, and the situation worsened. In the middle of April, Hu youyou received an urgent notice from his superior saying that there were traitors in the party and asked him to be more vigilant to prevent accidents. At the same time, I learned that ran Yizhi, his direct leader and Deputy Secretary of the municipal Party committee, had moved from the city to Beibei. Fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, he promptly informed relevant comrades, destroyed and transferred secret documents, and made various emergency preparations. on the afternoon of April 17, 1948, he was arrested by the spy. (betrayed by ran Yizhi). On the evening of the 17th, an American made prison car galloped along the Jialing River toward Chongqing. In the car, handcuffed Hu youyou fell into a deep meditation: why was he suddenly arrested? Why did the enemy know Jiang Qiyu's address and Gan Guangyu's name? With years of underground work experience, he analyzed that it might be the leader at a higher level who had a problem. He felt that it was most shameful for a communist to betray the party and betray his comrades under the threat of the enemy. Therefore, no matter how severe a test he faced, he must unswervingly defend the organization and protect his comrades. Hu youyou soon learned that his arrest was due to the betrayal of Ran Yizhi, deputy secretary of the municipal Party committee. Jiang Qiyu and Gan Guangyu were also confessed by the traitors. Fortunately, due to Hu youyou's clever suggestion to Jiang's wife, Jiang Qiyu was able to escape from danger, and Gan Guangyu and other party members in Beibei did not happen, so the party organization in Beibei was preserved. Besides, when the enemy knew from the traitor that Hu youyou was the Secretary of the Beibei special branch of the underground Party of the Communist Party of China, they tried to open a gap in him and take all the members of the Communist Party of China in Beibei. After exhausting all kinds of torture and getting nothing, the agents had to take out the last "trump card" - let the traitor "confront". "Lao Hu, come on. They know all about me and your identity and position. " Ran Yizhi, the traitor, looked at Hu youyou with timid eyes and "persuaded" him in a low voice. "Shameless!" Hu youyou stood up, yelled at the traitor and said to the spy, "since you know I'm a communist and Secretary of the special branch, you can't ask anything." Although Hu youyou was tortured, none of the dozens of Communists he led and developed was exposed. On July 27, 1948, Chongqing newspapers published the traitor ran Yizhi's "confession" and "confession": "Hu youyou of Beibei District once recruited Jin ChenLin in Xianghui college, Lu wenran and other party members in Xiangjian college, and there were three people in Beibei Normal University, namely, the creation research society and the masses." According to Ran's confession, the enemy arrested Jin ChenLin, LV wenran, Gan Guangyu and others. Since Jin, Gan and Lu were led by Hu Youyou, ran Yizhi did not meet them, did not dare to "confront" them, and could not provide the party members they led, so the enemy still tried every means to make suggestions on Hu youyou. Under the extremely dangerous situation of traitors' identification and the enemy's severe punishment for extorting confessions, Hu youyou knew that LV wenran was a Communist Party member, Gan Guangyu was the Secretary of the Party branch, and Jin ChenLin was the same party group as himself, but he always insisted on not recognizing them as members of the Communist Party of China. Hu youyou firmly defended the strong line of defense to protect his comrades, which enabled these comrades to deny that they were party members, plead in public trials, and be released on bail at the Republican talks in early 1949. The party organizations of Xiangjian college, Xianghui college and Beibei Normal University, where they worked, were not destroyed until the liberation of Chongqing. The enemy didn't get anything from Hu Youyou, so he was imprisoned for a long time in the gloomy and terrible human devil's cave, the dregs cave. On November 14, 1949, Hu Youyou, Jiang Zhuyun, Yang Yushang and more than a dozen other difficult friends were shot and killed by the reactionaries in LAN
