On August 14, 1932, an Han, Li Yizhi and Qin Ziming led the Shaanxi industrial investigation team to Shangluo, Ankang, Hanzhong and Baoji from Xi'an to investigate most of their counties, which provided valuable information for the development of reclamation industry in these areas.

So far, he has personally experienced most areas of the motherland and mastered a lot of information about agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, water conservancy and geology. In the summer of this year, an was also an instructor of Lushan summer training group of the Military Commission of the national government. In the autumn, he and Zhu Qinglan set up the Huanglongshan Reclamation Area Administration Bureau of Shaanxi Province. Zhu Qinglan was busy with the national relief work. Although an was the deputy director, he presided over the reclamation area work. Under his supervision, by the beginning of 1940, the Huanglong reclamation area had opened 70000 mu of fertile land and resettled more than 90000 refugees who had been homeless due to Japanese invasion in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Anhui and Soviet provinces. In June 1938, an Han was elected as a senator of Shaanxi Province. This year, the Ministry of economic affairs and the relief committee decided to develop the Liping (now Nanzheng) reclamation area in southern Shaanxi. An was appointed as the head of the investigation team of the reclamation area. He led 13 experts in agriculture, forestry, geology and mineral resources to investigate the area of Liping in Hanzhong, and wrote the investigation report of Liping reclamation area. At the beginning of 1940, Liping Reclamation Area Management Bureau was established, with an as the director. After more than a year's efforts, by July 1941, Liping reclamation area had reclaimed more than 60000 mu of wasteland, resettled more than 30000 refugees and victims, built three roads with a total length of more than 90 km, raised pigs, cattle, horses and sheep, planted vegetables, opened wineries and wood factories, and set up kindergartens and primary schools. In 1940, the Ministry of the interior of the national government appointed an Han as a member of the Ningxia provincial government and director of the Department of construction. He is willing to take up the post of director of Liping Reclamation Area Management Bureau. He is determined to do a good job in Liping reclamation and do more practical things for his hometown. In the summer of 1941, Shaanxi was plagued by rain, and an advocated the establishment of Nanzheng Famine Relief Committee. At the inaugural meeting, he made an impassioned speech, accusing the authorities of failing to fulfill their duties for the people, causing dissatisfaction among Hanzhong officials. Soon after, Wang Luyi, the Shanxi Shaanxi inspector of the national government's supervisory yuan, came to Hanzhong to inspect and stay in an apartment. Urban and rural gentry came one after another to expose the fact that Hanzhong officials were tyrannical and abused the people. Wang Luyi received them one by one and recorded them in the book. In the presence of Nanzheng County Magistrate sun Zongfu, an said to Wang Luyi: Zhu Shaozhou (then commander in chief of the police of the Hubei Shaanxi Gansu border region and commander in chief of the police of Hanzhong at that time) had no knowledge and no skill, and he was a little bit high. Afterwards, sun Zongfu flattered Zhu Shaozhou and fabricated a lie to frame an Han. Zhu and sun then planned the "case of armed opium cultivation in Liping reclamation area". After the Dragon Boat Festival in 1943, the police headquarters of the Hubei Shaanxi Gansu border region and the Hanzhong High Commissioner's Office jointly formed the so-called "consolation group in Liping reclamation area" to search for the "crime" in Liping. First, they pulled out all the tobacco seedlings planted by Liao University, the head of miaoba Protection Bureau, and Sun Peng, the vice-president of the detachment. Then they sent people to transport them to the Liping Reclamation Area Administration Bureau. They framed an's tobacco and arrested an and sent him to Zhu Shaozhou. During his detention, Wang Luyi arranged for Huang Tong, director of Shaanxi Provincial Department of education, to come to Hanzhong for rescue, but failed to achieve his goal. Later, he asked Yu Youren, President of the national government's supervisory yuan, to write to the Military Commission, demanding that an be transferred to Chongqing for trial. The Military Commission of the national government then called Zhu Shaozhou, commander in chief of the police of the Hubei Shaanxi Gansu border region, to wish xie'an to go to Chongqing. I wish that "the criminals are numerous, the vehicles are limited, the road is far away, and I'm afraid of accidents", as a pretext, will not be released. Zhu Shaozhou, sun Zongfu and others were afraid of long night and dreams, so they secretly killed an at the Yinzhu bridge in the west gate of Hanzhong City at dawn on November 24, 1943.
