Zhou Fu (1901-1943) was a hero of Anti Japanese war. Lieutenant general of the Chinese Kuomintang army. Born on March 15, 1900 in Zhoujia village, Shahu, Hunan Township, Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province. His father, Zhou Shilin, was a loyal and honest man. He was a poor farmer. He lived by farming two mu of thin land and doing small business from village to village. His mother, Deng, was hardworking and virtuous. She gave birth to six men and one woman. Due to the poverty of her family, five children died one after another, leaving Zhou Fu and his younger brother. Zhou Fu's father died at the age of eight. He and his three-year-old brother lived on their mother's behalf. In his youth, Zhou Fu was gifted and keen on reading. He was highly valued by his elders and private school teachers.

In 1924, he was admitted to the third military cadet team of Huangpu Military Academy. In the winter of the same year, Chen Jiongming's rebels took advantage of Sun Yat Sen's northward March to approach Guangzhou. Zhou Fu, who was studying, was incorporated into the Huangpu student army by the Guangdong revolutionary government. He took part in the rebellion of Chen Jiongming, Yang Ximin, and Liu Zhenhuan.

In May 1927, he was appointed secretary of the Political Department of the enrollment Department of Huangpu Military Academy and chief of the propaganda section of the Sanmin weekly of the general political department and Huangpu Alumni Association.

In 1929, he was appointed secretary of the Political Department of the military academy.

In 1931, he participated in the establishment of East Asia News Agency and served as section chief. In the same year, he was elected to the standing supervisory committee of the Nanjing municipal Party Department of the Chinese Kuomintang. After that, he went to Japan army sergeant school and then transferred to Meiji University to study law.

In 1932, after the Anti Japanese war in Shanghai on January 28, Zhou Fu returned home from school. In March, at the order of Chiang Kai Shek, he participated in the establishment of the headquarters of the three people's principles Lixing Society (that is, the core organization of the Chinese national rejuvenation society, also known as the blue clothes Society) in Nanjing. He served as the executive inspector and Secretary of the inspection committee, was responsible for the work of the Central Committee of the society, and became one of Chiang Kai Shek's confidants.

In 1935, he was transferred to the special commissioner of the Nanjing municipal Party Department of the Chinese Kuomintang.

After the July 7th incident broke out in 1937, Zhou Fu actively participated in the Anti Japanese War and served as the director of the Political Department of the first war zone of the Anti Japanese war.

At the beginning of 1939, the Rusu war zone was established, and Yu Xuezhong served as commander in chief. In March 1939, Chiang Kai Shek was a member of the party and Political Training Committee of the Soviet Union's special war zone.

From 1939 to 1943, Zhou Fu and Yu Xuezhong, commander-in-chief of the Rusu war zone, conducted a four-year Anti Japanese guerrilla war in the Rusu war zone. He not only became Yu Xuezhong's assistant to resist Japan, but also became Chiang Kai Shek's "supervisor" in the area.

At the beginning of 1940, Zhou Fu founded the "Chenzhong daily" in the luzu war zone in majiawang village of Anqiu County (the address of the community was later moved to majiatuyuzi village of yishuibei township), where he was also the president. In the two years from 1942 to 1942, the newspaper insisted on publishing every day, carrying out patriotic education for officers and soldiers, calling for anti Japanese and national salvation, and boosting the morale of the war zone. The Rusu war zone is isolated from behind the enemy and has a dangerous environment. Therefore, it is extremely important to vigorously carry out Anti Japanese propaganda and boost the morale of officers and soldiers. According to Zhou Fu's suggestion, a Zhongshan Hall, named "Zhongshan Hall", was built in the central square of cadre training regiment in tianqingwang village, North Yishui township. Senior generals such as Yu Xuezhong and Zhou Fu held weekly meetings here to make spiritual speeches. Zhou Fu also instructed that a large radio should be set up on the high platform of Zhongshan Hall to gather officers and soldiers to listen to the Anti Japanese war news broadcast in Chongqing every night. In addition, he organized the political work brigade to perform Anti Japanese War dramas regularly, teach and sing Anti Japanese and national salvation songs, and educate the officers and soldiers on patriotism.

In November 1941, the Japanese army, with its 12th army as the main force, attached more than 50000 people to the air force, tank force and puppet force, surrounded the Yimeng mountain area with iron walls in three ways in an attempt to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and the Rusu war zone troops. Zhou Fu assisted Yu Xuezhong, commander in chief of the theater, in commanding the troops of the Rusu theater and the Eighth Route Army to fight against the enemy. He persisted in fighting for more than 50 days, annihilated thousands of the enemy, and smashed the enemy's "mopping up". After the war, Zhou Fu and his political department moved to Fangzi village, Rizhao North Township.

On August 12, 1942, the Japanese army secretly dispatched the fifth and sixth brigades to encircle the headquarters of the Rusu war zone, which was moved to sanlipingtou, east of Juxian County, and captured Yu Xuezhong, Zhou Fu and other senior generals. After hearing the news, Yu Xuezhong and Zhou Fu led the troops to break through the encirclement before the Japanese army closed in. On August 20, more than 15000 Japanese troops surrounded tangwangshan and leigushan areas of Anqiu, the main defense areas of the No.113 division of the Rusu war zone. The headquarters and Political Department of the Ludong war zone, which were moved here on August 19, were also surrounded. Zhou Fu assisted commander-in-chief Yu Xuezhong in commanding the No.113 division to fight with the Japanese army for two days and nights, finally highlighting the encirclement. Yu Xuezhong was injured and Zhou Fu led the political department to move to dongjiazhai village, southwest Township, Anqiu.

After the long-term instigation of the Japanese aggressors, Wu Huawen, the commander of the new fourth division in the Rusu war zone, led the new fourth division and the first division to join the enemy on January 18, 1943. The war situation in Shandong suddenly became urgent.

On February 17, more than 20000 Japanese soldiers from the fifth and sixth independent mixed brigades and the first independent mixed seventh brigade stationed in Qingdao, Weixian, Jinan and other places, under the command of general Tuqiao once again launched a large-scale "sweep" against the Jiaodong Anti Japanese guerrilla base headquarters and the chengdingshan area of the No. 113 division in the Rusu war zone, in an attempt to find and annihilate the main force in the Rusu war zone. Yu Xuezhong organized all parts of the theater to meet each other and cut off the enemy's retreat by circuitous encirclement. The non combatants of all units in the theater were evacuated separately. Zhou Fu led the personnel of the political department to evacuate to the southwest Shuyuan mountain area of Anqiu, which was the defense area of Liwen Ministry of rites of the second column.

On the afternoon of February 20, the Japanese army approached Shuyuan mountain. Zhou Fu led more than 800 people to break through the encirclement eastward after dusk. At dawn on the 21st, Tongfeng Township, the Sixth District of Anqiu, Shandong Province, was surrounded by Japanese troops. In a hurry, Zhou Fu led his troops to seize chengdingshan in the southwest of zhangjialiu, and fought against the enemy. The Japanese army constantly increased its troops and surrounded Zhou Fu's troops. In the fierce battle, more than half of the casualties occurred in the surrounding areas. Zhou Fu ordered concentrated fire to break through the encirclement and led dozens of dare to die members to the front line. Halfway up the mountain, he was hit by a stray bullet in the chest, bleeding like a stream of blood. He endured the pain, continued to command the breakout, and finally died of his country. At the same time, there were also major general Zhang Zhiluo, chief of staff of the 113th division, and others who died. Han Ziqian, commander of the 113th division, and Li Wenli, commander of the second column were captured. The battle lasted for seven days, and each department of the Rusu war zone wiped out thousands of Japanese and puppet troops, and suffered huge losses.
