Characters and deeds

Li Jiping, formerly known as Li Weixuan and formerly known as Wang Zhongbin and Zhou Zhiqing, was born in March 1908. He lived in the North lock lane of Jiangyin City. His father, Li Houzhai, was a scholar in the former Qing Dynasty. He used to teach in Lishi middle school. Li Jiping first studied in Fuyan primary school in Jiangyin City, and then studied in Lishi middle school where his father lived. At ordinary times, he was quiet and not good at activities. He was diligent in his lessons and achieved excellent results, which was highly valued by his teachers and friends. After graduating from junior high school at the age of 17, Li Jiping dropped out of school because of poverty and was introduced by his relatives to work as an apprentice in tianzhang silk shop. In 1926, he joined the KMT in cooperation with the Communist Party of China. At the beginning of the next year, he joined the Communist Party of China and served as a member of Jiangyin County Committee of the Communist Party of China, responsible for the workers' movement. After Chiang Kai Shek launched the April 12 coup, the reactionary government hunted and killed Communists everywhere. Li Jiping stands firm and takes a clear-cut stand. At a party meeting, he firmly said: "I will follow the Communist Party to the death and never be subjugated by evil forces." In order to train revolutionary cadres, the party selected hundreds of Party and League members from all over the country in the first half of 1927 and sent them to the Soviet Union for study. Li Jiping was one of them. One day in June, when Li Jiping officially received the notice from the provincial Party committee, he was very excited. When he was preparing his luggage, his parents found out, so they tried every means to prevent him from going, and his relatives and friends also tried to persuade him. Li Jiping was determined and did not move. On the third day after receiving the notice, he secretly took a boat to Shanghai with Gu Zhihe and Miao Shiyou. Dressed up as a small worker, he went to the Soviet Union's "Hengli" ship and arrived in Moscow via Vladivostok. He was assigned to study in the military and political class set up by the Oriental Communist Labor University. At that time, there were about 400 students in the school, which were divided into five classrooms. Li Jiping was in the first classroom. He often said to his classmates with deep feeling: "with my family and personal conditions, it is impossible to continue to study in China. How can I talk about studying abroad? Only the party gives me such conditions." He cherishes this learning opportunity very much. In class, he listens attentively; after class, he always studies in his bedroom, and seldom goes out. The school has three months of field military practice every year, which Li Jiping attaches great importance to. He worked in the heavy machine gun company. In every subject test, he always got excellent results, which was highly valued by Soviet instructors and team leaders. At the end of 1927, when the news of the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising spread to the school, Li Jiping and his classmates felt very heavy. At a memorial service to commemorate the martyrs, Li Jiping said: at the end of this term of study, he will not continue to study. He must return to China to take part in practical work to replace the comrades who died. When they arrived in Moscow for six years, they decided to go back to their school to study and work. "Learning is important, but work is more important, not to mention the urgent need for people at home," he said His request was soon approved by the Party Central Committee. In the winter of that year, after completing his studies, Li Jiping returned to the motherland with nearly 100 students studying in the Soviet Union, such as Miao Shiyou, ready to accept new revolutionary tasks. When he first arrived in Shanghai, the joint was destroyed by the enemy, so Li Jiping did not connect with the organization. Later, he disguised himself as a fruit vendor and waited patiently near the joint for nearly two months before he got into the relationship. Organizationally, he was assigned to be responsible for the work of Yangzhou county Party committee. At the end of 1929, he was transferred to Jiangsu provincial Party committee inspector to guide the work of Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Changzhou and other areas along the Beijing Shanghai line. Li Jiping's treatment of the inspection work is not to listen to the report by skimming the water, nor is he to give directions at the beginning of his journey and act like an "imperial envoy". He has a down-to-earth style and works hard. In every place, in addition to listening to the above reports, more is to go deep into the grass-roots party organizations, understand the situation and master the first-hand materials. On the new year's Eve in 1930, people went home to celebrate the new year, but Li Jiping was still working nervously. On this day, after completing his inspection work from Zhenjiang, he immediately arrived in Changzhou. In Changzhou City on New Year's Eve, the street lights are dim and the pedestrians are few. Every family is having new year's dinner. Li Jiping braved the cold and hunger to get in touch with the Changzhou party organization in the dark. During the two or three months of inspection work, Li Jiping often disguised himself as a student, businessman and worker and wandered along the Beijing Shanghai railway. In February 1930, when the inspection work came to an end, he made a written report to the provincial Party Committee on the inspection of Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Changzhou. In the report, he summarized "the current general situation and future", "the current situation of Party organizations and mass organizations" and "the struggle situation in various places", and finally put forward his own opinions. He believed: "in the white terror environment, the party's guidance to the lower level must be timely, detailed and accurate, otherwise it will become an obstacle to work progress It's a hindrance. "The party should often select and send some effective cadres from the organs to enrich the grassroots organizations and do more practical work," he said At the end of the report, he solemnly put forward to the provincial Party committee: "I hope I don't sit in an empty room." The provincial Party committee carefully read his inspection report and considered his requirements. In April of the same year, Li Jiping was transferred to Nanjing as a member of the municipal Party committee. After working for more than a month, he was transferred to Zhenjiang to take charge of the party's overall work. At this time, Li Lisan, who was actually in charge of the CPC Central Committee, put forward the wrong idea of urban riots because he overestimated the party's power in the white areas, and took Nanjing as a model of urban riots in the whole country. Forced to carry out this erroneous instruction, the Nanjing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) merged party, league and trade union organizations on May 16 to meet the needs of the struggle and established the Nanjing "red may" Action Committee. The party's work has also begun to shift from secret underground activities to open activities, such as "flying rallies", "demonstrations and struggles" and "five strikes" (strike, strike, class strike, post strike and exercise strike), which have completely exposed the party's strength to the reactionary forces. Although the Nanjing municipal Party committee has carried out a series of arduous organizational work, and the broad masses of Party members and the masses have also shown the revolutionary spirit of being brave and indomitable and not afraid of sacrifice, due to the wrong line, the party organization in Nanjing has suffered serious losses. From mid May to early July, dozens of Party members were arrested in just over a month. What's more distressing is that the Kuomintang Longtan military police company, which is controlled by the party, could have rescued the Communists when it was carrying out the task of shooting them. However, because it had to wait for the time of the so-called riot and could not disrupt the national riot plan, it had to shoot its own comrades. Afterwards, the soldiers of the gendarmerie company couldn't figure it out and cried bitterly. In the end, the armed forces dissolved automatically. On July 10, the municipal Party committee of Chengxian street was also damaged. Ren Xuetao, member of the municipal Party committee, and Tan Zhian, Secretary of the municipal Party committee, were arrested at the same time. Under such circumstances, Li Lisan not only did not sum up the lessons, but also thought that the leadership of Wang Bi, Secretary of Nanjing administrative committee, was weak. On July 15, the Committee of Jiangsu head office decided to transfer Wang Bi from Nanjing and Li Jiping from Zhenjiang to Nanjing as secretary of the Executive Committee. Li Jiping deeply understands that Nanjing is shrouded in white terror. At this time, going to Nanjing for a post and engaging in an open armed insurrection in the capital of the Kuomintang, where the enemy and we are very far apart, are bound to be more dangerous than good. But thinking of the organizational arrangement, he resolutely accepted the order and returned to Nanjing, showing the high degree of organization and discipline that a Communist has. After he came to Nanjing, he was guaranteed by Shi Jixian, an underground member of the Communist Party of China and working in the audit institute of the Kuomintang government. As a businessman, he changed his name to Wang Zhongbin and lived in the Jiaotong hotel. After settling down for a while, he began to work in a tense and orderly way. In order to meet the coming of the August 1 Uprising decided by the municipal Party committee, he completely ignored his personal safety. He went to Pukou and Xiaguan in person to check the preparations for the riot, to carry out the organization of the red vanguard and the workers' picket team, and to arrange the printing of relevant notices and leaflets during the riot The Nanjing uprising is on the verge of an immediate attack. Unfortunately, on July 29, just two days before the August 1 riot, because of the spy's surveillance, a riot commanding organ of the municipal Party committee located on the upper floor of Meihua barber shop in Xiaguan was found by the enemy. Six comrades, including Li Jiping, Secretary of the municipal Party committee, Xia Yuchu, member of the municipal Party committee, Guo Jitang, Li Wenru, Chen Baohua and song Ruhai, who were meeting upstairs, were on the spot
