Personal life

Xie Jinyuan

Zhongmin, a Hakka from Jiaoling County, Guangdong Province, was born on April 26, 1905. His father Xie Faxiang is a peddler, and his mother Li is the daughter of a fisherman. When he was young in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, he was good at playing chess, calligraphy and reading. He was honest, resolute and resolute. His youth was a period of sharp rise in China's ethnic contradictions. The Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, suffering from internal and external troubles, and the people were in dire need of livelihood. In the early years of the Republic of China, the warlords were separated and their lives were ruined. The heavy national disaster buried a fire of hatred for the invaders in his young heart. He took Yue Fei's "devotion to the country" as his motto and was determined to devote himself to his country.

Youth

Xie Jinyuan's childhood was in the period of 1911 Revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

In 1912, the new learning advocated by Cai Yuanpei and Wu Yuzhang was rising all over the country. At that time, the villagers of jiankeng village quickly accepted the new ideas, so they used a few old bungalows in the village to set up new schools and educate the people with the new ideas, so they named the school "Yumin school".

In the spring of 1913, his father sent 9-year-old Xie Jinyuan to Yumin school. In addition to teaching arithmetic and abacus, the teacher also taught three character classic, thousand character essay and Zengguang Xianwen as literacy textbooks. Teachers combine teaching to publicize Dr. Sun Yat Sen's three people's principles of nation, civil rights and people's livelihood, carry out ideological education of "the world is for the public" and love the people, and teach moral principles of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame" in life and work. After four years in Yumin school, Xie Jinyuan received the enlightenment education of the new cultural progressive thought.

In 1917, 13-year-old Xie Jinyuan was admitted to "Sanzhen public school" (now Jiaoling Jinyuan middle school) with excellent results.

In 1919, 15-year-old Xie Jinyuan was admitted to Guangdong No.5 Middle School (now Meizhou middle school) with excellent results. Xie Jinyuan's study life in Meicheng was very hard, but he was not discouraged at all. On the contrary, he worked harder and further realized that learning book knowledge well was very important in his career. It is easy for him to do good or bad things in order to improve his knowledge.

In 1919, many young students in Meizhou, including Xie Jinyuan, took part in the struggle against imperialism, warlords and traitors. In the propaganda activities, he deeply realized that if young people only want to talk about theory, not practical struggle, such struggle will inevitably fail. Therefore, Xie Jinyuan was determined to take the three people's principles as the principle and fight with his own efforts.

give up civilian pursuits to join the army

In 1925, Xie Jinyuan witnessed the imperialist aggression and atrocities in his struggle to support the May 30th Movement. He further realized that the Chinese feudal warlords were in chaos and the people were restless. At the same time, we also saw the revolutionary forces of the people and Zhou Enlai personally organized the students of Huangpu Military Academy to participate in the demonstration. As a result, Xie Jinyuan resolutely devoted his pen to the army, and wrote a poem: "the broken mountains and rivers are really sad, so stop being a mediocre man and love his hometown. I'd like to write from ban Dingyuan to shangliufang.

In December 1925, Xie Jinyuan graduated from national Guangdong University (now National Sun Yat sen University) and transferred to the fourth phase of Huangpu Military Academy. He was a student in the third team of the political brigade, first in the infantry department and then in the political department. Zhou Enlai is the director of the political department, Ye Jianying is the deputy director of the Professor Department, and Xie Jinyuan often listens to revolutionary ideological education.

In July 1926, the Guangdong revolutionary government decided to carry out the northern expedition. Xie Jinyuan, who studied in Huangpu Military Academy, graduated early and took part in the northern expedition. The eight armies of the National Revolutionary Army in the northern expedition were about 100000 people, marching in three routes: Central, Western and Eastern. At that time, under the command of Feng Yipei, the commander of the 14th division, Xie Jinyuan served as the platoon leader and led a platoon of people to fight bravely in the front line of the East Road Northern Expedition troops stationed in Shantou area and wipe out sun Chuanfang's troops in Fujian and Zhejiang. In October, he served as the platoon leader of the first division of the National Revolutionary Army and fought against sun Chuanfang, a warlord who occupied the five provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi. He took part in the battle of Longyou, the battle of Tonglu and the decisive battle of Longtan.

In early October 1926, Zhou Yinren, the Fujian military affairs supervisor of sun Chuanfang, took advantage of the weakness of the National Revolutionary Army in Guangdong, led four armies with more than 30000 people to attack Guangdong in three ways. They successively occupied Jiaoling, Songkou and Rao. And set up camp in Yongding to supply materials and command operations. Under such circumstances, Xie Jinyuan led a team to take part in the battle of attacking Yongding city. In three days and three nights, he conquered Yongding city and wiped out 4500 of its enemies. Zhou Yinren led more than 1000 people to flee across the city. On November 8, the 14th division won in Zhangzhou and approached Fuzhou. Xie Jinyuan took the lead in the battles of Yongding and Zhangzhou. He was brave and resolute, charged to kill the enemy, and made initial achievements. Therefore, he was promoted from platoon leader to company commander.

Less than half a year later, the Northern Expedition troops occupied Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces. In January 1927, the national government moved from Guangzhou to Wuhan, and held an interim joint meeting of members of the central executive committee of the Kuomintang and the national government.

On April 19, 1927, the national government of Wuhan held the second Northern Expedition oath meeting in Wuchang to continue the northern expedition. Xie Jinyuan arrived in Nanjing with the army and stationed in the east section of Jinghu road.

On the night of August 25, 1927, the north wind howled and the fog filled the air. Sun Chuanfang, with the main force of three divisions of more than 60000 people, crossed the Yangtze River from wangjiangting, chuanzikou and Dahekou in three routes and attacked Wulong mountain, Qixia mountain and Longtan in Nanjing border area. The positions held by the first army lost one after another and were forced to retreat to Nanjing. On the 26th, Sun Jun occupied Longtan east railway station. At this critical time, Bai Chongxi ordered Wei Lihuang, commander of the 14th division of the first army stationed in the east section of Jinghu Road, to lead his troops to counter attack Longtan. At the same time, Liu Shi of the second division of the first army in Hangzhou was ordered to return to the division to assist Longtan. After a bloody battle with sun Chuanfang for seven days and nights, he finally annihilated more than 50000 sun troops. Xie Jinyuan led a company to fight bravely and skillfully in this battle of counterattack against Longtan. He took the lead in fighting, fighting to death, fighting hard for seven days and nights, and finally won the battle. He established a miracle and was promoted to deputy battalion commander.

At the beginning of May 1928, the Northern Expedition army was stopped by the Japanese army in Jinan (known as "Jinan Massacre" in History). Xie Jinyuan, as the commander of the vanguard battalion, was seriously injured in the battle, and then transferred to Hankou hospital for recuperation. At this time, his girlfriend Ling Weicheng, whom he met in Shanghai a year ago, came to visit, and their relationship became deeper and deeper. In September 1929, Xie Jinyuan and Ling Weicheng married at Dahua hotel in Hankou.

Zhabei Anti Japanese War

In 1930, he served as the commander of the company. He was brave and good at fighting in the battle of annihilating the bandit Liu Guitang. He was transferred to the 19th Route Army Cai tingkai department as the battalion commander and staff officer. After that, the army entered Zhabei, Shanghai. Zhabei is an important land and water transportation area in Shanghai. It is a triangle formed by the junction of Songhu road and Jinghu road. This is the center of the war zone of the 19th Route Army. Xie Jinyuan and his troops are stationed here to defend Shanghai.

After the fall of the three eastern provinces, the Japanese imperialists intensified their efforts to mobilize the main forces of sea, land and air to attack Shanghai. From January 21, 1932, Japan mobilized an aircraft carrier to sail from Lushun to Wusong port in Shanghai. Then, four destroyers loaded with special Marines drove into the Huangpu River, and groups of marines landed at Huishan wharf. At a time when the situation in Shanghai was very serious, the 19th Route Army stationed in Zhabei, Shanghai, had already made all preparations for combat. The battalion led by Xie Jinyuan was already well prepared and ready for the order
