In 1909, at the age of 13, Lin Yuying entered an old school. Soon after, he dropped out of school because of family poverty and ran the ancestral hand-made dyeing and weaving industry with his father. in 1919, Lin Yuying took part in the popular lecture club founded by his younger brother Lin Yunan in his hometown. Under the influence of Marxism Leninism, he carried out patriotic activities in his hometown. When Lin Yunan was admitted to the Affiliated Middle School of Wuchang "China University" from Huanggang, he met Yun Daiying, director of academic affairs, and then joined the "mutual aid society" founded by Yun. In July 1921, Yun Daiying, Li Qiushi, Lin Yunan and Lin Yuying initiated the establishment of the "coexistence society" with Communist nature in their "Junxin primary school", which is the origin of the "Communist group" in Hubei before the formal establishment of the Communist Party of China. In February 1922, Lin Yuying was introduced by Yun Daiying and Lin Yunan in Wuchang and joined the Communist Party of China.

Leading the workers' movement

The newly born Communist Party of China devoted all its energy to mobilizing the workers' movement, and Lin Yuying became the backbone of the early "workers' movement" of the Communist Party of China. After the February 7th strike, he was ordered to work in Changsha and enthusiastically encouraged rickshaw pullers to carry out a labor movement demanding lower rents. In May 1924, Lin Yuying went to Moscow Communist Labor University to study. In July of the next year, Lin Yuying returned home under the pseudonym of "Lin Chunshan" and soon took part in leading the workers' movement in Shanghai. On December 6, the Shanghai Federation of trade unions held a meeting of 10000 people. They were stabbed in the head by bayonets and hit by the butt of guns, leaving serious sequelae. After the failure of the great revolution, he helped to restore the Hunan provincial Party committee and form a trade union in Changsha. Later, he trudged to Shanghai as a monk because he was hunted down.
In April 1930, the central government sent Lin Yuying to the northeast to organize the Manchu provincial Party committee. In May, the provisional provincial Party committee of Manchuria province was established as secretary of the provincial Party committee. Soon after, Lin Yuying was arrested by the Japanese because of the traitor's report. In January 1932, Lin Yuying was rescued from prison, but his body had been seriously injured.

Return to Yan'an

In January 1933, Lin Yuying was ordered to go to Moscow as the representative of the all China Federation of trade unions to the red workers international and the representative of the CPC Central Committee to the Communist International. In July 1935, the Communist International held its Seventh Congress. In order to convey the spirit of the Seventh Congress of the Communist International to the CPC Central Committee on the way of the Long March, the Communist International decided to send Lin Yuying back to China. Lin Yuying, pseudonym Zhang Hao, came to China from Outer Mongolia, disguised as a businessman, took a secret code, LED a camel, waded across mountains and rivers. After more than a month, he crossed the boundless desert and finally came to Wayaobao in Northern Shaanxi, where the CPC Central Committee is located Go to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Persuading Zhang Guotao

The arrival of Lin Yuying was a great event in the history of the Communist Party of China. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China restored contact with the Comintern. Lin Yuying played an important role in the formation of the Anti Japanese national united front. Later, at the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau held in Wayaobao in December 1935, Lin Yuying conveyed the spirit of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist International and the contents of the August 1 declaration, which laid the ideological foundation for the strategy of the Anti Japanese national united front of the Communist Party of China. At the end of December 1935, the Central Committee decided that Zhang Hao should persuade Zhang Guotao to lead the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army northward. The "Central Committee" set up by Zhang Guotao in zhuomukiao, Lipan County, Sichuan Province, has not been democratically elected by the Party Congress, nor has it reported to the Comintern, nor has it been approved by the Comintern. At that time, the Communist Party of China was a branch of the Communist International, and all major issues and organizational changes had to be approved by the Communist International. Mao Zedong knew that Zhang Guotao listened to the words of the Communist International, and it was most appropriate for Lin Yuying to do Zhang Guotao's work as a representative of the Communist International. Zhang Hao accepted the task and called Zhang Guotao to explain that the Comintern "sent me to solve the problem of the first and fourth front forces" and "I have got the password to communicate with the international community. If my brother has the power to communicate with the international community, my brother can transfer it". On June 6, 1936, Zhang Guotao was forced to announce the abolition of the second "Central Committee". On August 3 and September 3, Lin Yuying, Mao Zedong, Zhang Wentian, Zhou Enlai and Bo Gu jointly sent a telegram to Zhu De and Zhang Guotao. They were welcome to join forces and Lin Yuying was sent to meet them in person. On September 27, Zhang Guotao, Zhu De, Xu Qianqian and Chen Changhao jointly called Lin Yuying, Zhang Wentian and Mao Zedong to express their respect for the instructions and opinions of the Communist International and the Central Committee and never change them. On October 19, Lin Yuying set out from Bao'an, representing the CPC Central Committee to meet the second and fourth front forces of the Red Army in Tongxin City, Ningxia. After several days of rapid march, the second and fourth front red army arrived in Tongxin city on November 3. Lin Yuying met with Zhang Guotao and Zhu De at guanqiaobao, and made a report at the Fourth Front Red Army activists' meeting, introducing to the cadres the great significance of the CPC Central Committee in formulating the anti Japanese national united front policy. A few days later, Zhang Guotao returned to the security guard.

Political commissar of the Western aid Army

In late October 1936, more than 20000 vanguards of the former Red Square army crossed the Yellow River westward to carry out the Ningxia campaign plan. In early November, according to the decision of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, the troops crossing the river were called the West Route Army. After crossing the Yellow River, the west route army fought alone for four months under extremely difficult conditions and wiped out more than 20000 enemy troops. However, due to the fact that the battle of crossing the Yellow River to the West was a strategic mistake, which did not play a significant role in tactics, and that the troops were not well prepared, the environment was unfamiliar, there was no rear area, and the supply was difficult, the West Route Army was in trouble. After entering the Qilian mountain area, the West Route Army successively sent power to the central government and requested the central government to send troops for rescue. On February 27, 1937, the Central Military Commission issued an instruction on the formation of an aid army to the West. The Military Commission decided to transfer the Fourth Army, the 28th army, the 31st army, the 32nd army and a cavalry regiment to form the Western aid army, with Liu Bocheng as the commander and Lin Yuying as the political commissar.

On the battlefield of resistance against Japan

After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, with three divisions under its jurisdiction, namely, 115, 120 and 129 divisions. Lin Biao is the commander of the 115th division and Lin Yuying is the political commissar of the 129th division. In the spring of 1938, Lin Yuying was transferred back to the Central Committee due to injury. He was replaced by Deng Xiaoping, deputy director of the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army. During his stay in Yan'an, Lin Yuying took charge of the work related to the workers' movement. In the middle of March, Lin Yuying served as the leader of the staff brigade of anwubao youth training class, and Cao Ying served as the instructor. From September 29 to November 6, 1938, the Party Central Committee held the enlarged Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee in Yan'an. Lin Yuying, an alternate member of the Central Committee, attended the meeting. Lin Biao also attended the meeting. Because of Lin Yuying's outstanding contribution to the revolutionary cause, the Congress elected him as a member of the Central Committee.

He died of illness

On April 30, 1940, Lin Yuying, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other central leaders were invited to Yan'an youth culture ditch to attend the May 1 International Labor Day celebration conference. After the meeting, there was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Because of the timely rescue, Lin Yuying was not in danger of life, but he could not stand up, let alone work for the party. In August 1941, Japanese warplanes flew over Yan'an and bombed the offices of the CPC Central Committee and the residences of CPC leaders. Lin Yuying's condition deteriorated sharply. After full rescue in the Central Hospital, the patient was slightly improved. On February 14, 1942, Lin Biao, who received a message from Lin Yuying, returned to Yan'an to visit Lin Yuying. In the late February of 1942, Lin Yuying's condition worsened day by day. On March 5, Lin Yuying called the guard, secretary, wife and others to his side in a weak voice and said, "I can't do it anymore. The revolution has been going on for 20 years. I'm sorry that I can't see the victory of the revolution. After my death, please organize to bury me on taohualing opposite Yangjialing, so that I can look at the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao every day! " At 1:45 a.m. on March 6, Lin Yuying died in Yan'an central hospital. In the afternoon, the Central Committee set up Lin Yuying's funeral Committee, which was composed of Li Fuchun, Lin Biao and Deng FA. The body was moved to the central auditorium. On March 7, the front page of Yan'an Jiefang Daily published the news that Comrade Zhang Hao, a member of the CPC Central Committee, died of illness after a long hard work. Leaders of the CPC Central Committee, such as Chen Yuyun, Chen Jianying, and Ren Bishi, took turns. From 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on March 8, more than 10000 people from all walks of life in Yan'an attended the farewell ceremony of Lin Yuying's body. At 9 am on March 9, the public memorial ceremony was held in the square in front of Yan'an Central Party school. Ren Bishi, Secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, was the chief mourner, while Li Kenong read the funeral oration. At the end of the ceremony, more than 10000 people attended the funeral. Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Ren Bishi, Yang Shangkun, Xu Teli and other central leaders personally carried the coffin to taohualing for burial. This was the only time in Mao Zedong's life that he carried the coffin. On the day of burying Lin Yuying, Xinhua Daily published an editorial "mourning Comrade Zhang Hao (Lin Yuying)", which made a high evaluation of Lin Yuying's contribution and achievements in his life. Mao Zedong also inscribed "Zhang Hao" on his tombstone
