Life of Li Tiancai

In August 1925, Liu Yufen, commander of the second division of the northwest army under Feng Yuxiang, led his department to Lanzhou via Ningxia. The CPC members, such as Xuan Xiafu and Qian Qingquan, who were doing political propaganda work in the Department, passed by zaoyuanbao to publicize the situation at home and abroad and the purpose of the northwest army's entry into Gansu, and put forward the political slogan of "get rid of the feudal warlords and overthrow the corrupt officials and local tyrants" Education, and actively distribute leaflets for the army. In September 1926, Feng Yuxiang's national army coalition passed through Ningxia, entered Gansu to aid Shaanxi, to coordinate the northern expedition, and passed by Zaoyuan. The CPC members in the army went deep into the school, spread Marxism Leninism, and carried out revolutionary activities. Li Tiancai took an active part in it. In the spring of 1929, Li Tiancai was admitted to Ningxia middle school and had a close relationship with sun Diancai. They often exchanged ideas and discussed the principles of saving the country and the people. They were determined to devote themselves to the revolution, find the Communist Party organization and devote themselves to the revolution. In the spring of 1930, Ningxia middle school hired Du Liting, a graduate of Peking University, to teach in Ningxia middle school and act as the dean of educational administration. Du Liting, a Mizhi native of Northern Shaanxi, was progressive in thought and inclined to revolution. In May, the northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China sent Du Runzi to Ningxia to set up the party organization, taking advantage of the relationship between Du Runzi and Du Liting, who are fellow villagers and alumni of Peking University. In Ningxia middle school, Li Tiancai and other progressive students actively approached the organization and enthusiastically participated in revolutionary activities. At that time, Du Runzi, a member of the Communist Party of China, and others planned the Nanjing middle school tide and put forward the slogan of "expelling Xu zongru, a gentleman, and supporting Du Liting as the principal". Li Tiancai and other progressive students responded positively. Under the active struggle of teachers and students, the learning tide won. after the victory of the learning tide struggle, the party organization seized the opportunity to take advantage of the contradictions and struggles within the Ningxia garrison to actively carry out the work of the military movement and prepare to establish a revolutionary armed force under the control of the party. In November, according to the instructions of the party organization, Li Tiancai went to Zhongning to contact more than 10 young students, such as Liu Chengdong and Zhang Xi, with Ma Zhongying's old garrison, who was then the leader of Ma Hongbin's department. The move was discovered by Ma Hongbin. Ma Hongbin is going to kill Ma Zhongying and related personnel. After Ma Zhongying got the news, he led the teaching team to flee the provincial capital and went to Zhongning to make an appointment with a group of more than 1000 young students, including Ma Qian, Li Tiancai and others, to rush to the Hexi corridor. After Ma Zhongying arrived in Jiuquan, Gansu Province, he was defeated. Li Tiancai and others left the horse department and returned to Ningxia. On November 20, Ma Hongbin stepped up his strict rule over Ningxia after the middle school student tide in Ningxia and Ma Zhongying's rebellion. The Ningxia provincial Party Department of the Kuomintang opened the post office and found that a teacher of Anbian primary school in Northern Shaanxi had a letter to Du Runzi suspected of "communicating with the Communist Party", so they arrested Du Runzi and Du Liting. Other progressive teachers were dismissed, and some were expelled from Ningxia. Ningxia middle school was in white terror. In early 1931, Li Tiancai returned to Ningxia from Jiuquan, Gansu Province, and continued to keep in touch with Du Runzi in prison. Soon after, introduced by Du Runzi, Li Tiancai joined the Communist Party of China. In August, taking advantage of the contradictions among various factions in Gansu, Feng Yuxiang instigated Lei Zhongtian, the old army, to overthrow his horse and detained Ma Hongbin, then chairman of Gansu provincial government, in Lanzhou. the main force of Ma Hongbin in Ningxia was ordered to go to Lanzhou to relieve the crisis, and Ningxia's defense was in vain. Du Runzi, who was in prison, thought that he should take advantage of this opportunity to organize armed riots in Ningxia. According to Du Runzi's instructions, Li Tiancai returned to Zhongning to instigate the local garrison to launch a mutiny. He contacted sun Tiancai, the company commander of the machine gun company of the seventh division secret service battalion of Ma Hongbin in ning'anbao, Zhongning, and Zhang Zizhen, the deputy battalion commander of Ma Hongbin's department and the former leader of the west road guard. After many conversations, they all supported the anti horse violence. After Li Tiancai returned to the capital of Ningxia Province and reported the situation to Du Runzi, Du agreed and decided to organize a riot operation in the spy battalion where sun Tiancai was and made a plan. In late December, he launched a military riot. Due to the leak of information, the enemy had been prepared, and the deployment was not good, so he was defeated. Li Tiancai was arrested and taken to the prison in Ningxia Province. In prison, although Li Tiancai was tortured, he never revealed the secret of the organization. At the beginning of 1932, Li Tiancai was released on bail after rescue. In March, Li Tianlu, the principal of Zaoyuan elementary school (Li Tiancai's cousin), hired Li Tiancai as the sixth grade Chinese teacher of the school. In the school, Li Tiancai taught students to "be the new masters of the new era, not to be slaves of subjugation, save the country and the people, and dare to charge.". In order to publicize the Anti Japanese War, he wrote his own songs and taught the students to sing: "students, listen carefully, great calamity has come; fierce, fierce, Japanese devil soldiers; devil soldiers, occupying the eastern province, burning, killing, looting, whatever. Save the compatriots, save the brothers, get up and fight the enemy quickly; take up the gun, take up the gun, defeat the devils and enjoy peace. " This month, Du Runzi was rescued from prison by Du Bincheng and others. He went to Zhongning jujube garden to find Li Tiancai and asked him to work in Lanzhou. After discussion, Du Runzi took the lead. In May, Li Tiancai went to Lanzhou and was introduced to work in Lanzhou Department store tax bureau for the time being. Du Runzi, together with Xie Zichang and Jiao weichi, organized and launched a water spring riot. Later, Li Tiancai also went to Shuiquan to participate in the Shuiquan military storm and served as an economic Commissar. After the defeat, Li was wanted in Gansu and Ningxia provinces. He disguised himself as a boatman and sailed through Baotou to Peiping. In the autumn of the same year, Li Tiancai found the Ningxia Lvping student union in Beiping, connected with Zhang Zihua, sun Diancai and others, and established a secret contact point at No. 7 shuiyue'an, Xicheng District. Li Tiancai lives here and often connects with Zhang Zihua, sun Diancai and others. During the day, they went deep into the factory to get familiar with the workers, organized red trade unions and publicized the Anti Japanese War; at night, they painted slogans and distributed leaflets. In order to prevent the police from catching them, they wrapped lime in paper in advance. Once they met the police, they beat the police in the eye with lime and took the opportunity to escape. At the beginning of 1933, Li Tiancai established two strongholds in Beiping backdoor foreign car trade union and Dongcheng Russian business school, and kept in touch with Rao Shushi, the head of North China Federation of trade unions Office. In order to carry out his work, Li Tiancai disguised himself as a rickshaw worker and often lived with the workers. Once when he went out to work, he found that the activity base was watched by the spy, and the comrades in it were in great danger. He ventured into the hospital and said loudly, "Lao Zhang, the treat is in DongLaiShun, and everyone is waiting for you there." The spies thought that the meeting place had been changed, but they didn't start at that time. They followed Li Tiancai and others and tried to catch them all. Finally, under the cover of the tram workers and the masses, Li Tiancai and others quickly changed their clothes and tactfully got rid of the spy who was following them. In order to avoid the spy's tracking, Li Tiancai sometimes hid behind the temple statues or under the coffin corpses when he was on duty, so he saved himself from danger many times. In July, the Chahar people's Anti Japanese Alliance Army repeatedly defeated the Japanese army and recovered a large area of northern Chahar. The army's prestige was greatly boosted and the masses cheered. Li Tiancai organized the masses to celebrate and also supported the general strike of railway workers to show his determination to "resist Japan and oppose surrender". In September, when Li Tiancai was engaged in the workers' movement in Mentougou, Beiping, he was unfortunately arrested and taken to Tianjin prison. in prison, Li Tiancai fought with the enemy with amazing perseverance. at first, the enemy bribed Li Tiancai by making a vow, but he was severely rejected. Later, the enemy used extremely cruel instruments of torture, such as tendon pulling bed, hot iron, naked rolling iron nail bed imported from Germany, to punish Li Tiancai. However, Li Tiancai clenched his teeth, looked at death with awe inspiring righteousness, and did not yield to the enemy. He denounced the enemy and said, "what's the crime of Chinese workers' freedom to love their country, oppose imperialist aggression, and defend national sovereignty? You traitors and traitors, who suppressed the workers for the Japanese aggressors, have committed heinous crimes. The people will not forgive you! " the cruel and inhumane enemy, who was insane, poured chili water into Li Tiancai's nostrils in the case of nothing, and was finally poisoned to death at the age of 25.
