He United Zhou Xiwu, head of the garrison headquarters of the Northern Expedition army in Yueyang, and Ren Yinping, a member of the National Party, to reorganize the Yueyang Municipal Party headquarters of the Kuomintang into the county Party headquarters, and was elected as a member of the Standing Committee. In addition, mass organizations such as the Yueyang prefectural committee of the Communist Youth League of China, the Yueyang County farmers' Association, the general trade union and the women's Federation were successively established, which made the workers' and peasants' movement in Yueyang, Linxiang and Huarong develop rapidly. In March 1927, there were 20 farmers' associations in Yueyang County, more than 80 in Yueyang Township, and more than 100000 members in Yueyang County.

Main achievements

After the horse day incident in 1927, he went to Wuchang and then to Nanchang. After the August 1 Uprising, he served as a member of the Jiangxi provincial Party committee and director of the workers' Movement Committee, and went to Poyang County to restore the party organization. In October of the same year, he served as secretary of the special committee of northern Jiangxi, reorganized the party organization, and founded the special committee communication and political communication. Soon, he served as secretary general and alternate executive member of the provincial Party committee. After May 1929, he was appointed secretary of the special committee of western Jiangxi. He and Cai Shenxi, Secretary of the Military Commission of the provincial Party committee, sent Zhao Xingwu to sneak into Luo Binghui's Department, commander of Ji'an Jingwei army, to instigate an uprising. After many efforts, Luo agreed to rebel against Jiang. Liu Shiqi and Cai Shenxi, on behalf of the party organization, accepted Luo Binghui's Secret membership in the Communist Party of China. After the successful uprising, the fifth independent regiment of the Red Army in Jiangxi Province was formed.

Introduced by Guo Liang and Xia Minghan, he joined the Communist Party of China in 1924. In June 1926, Liu Shiqi, appointed by the party, came to Yueyang County and established the Yueyang local committee of the Communist Party of China as secretary. In just a few months, more than 30 party branches were set up in urban and rural areas of the county, with more than 100000 members of the Agricultural Association, setting off a vigorous peasant movement. In 1929, Liu Shiqi served as the Secretary of the special committee of northern Jiangxi Province and married he Yi, the younger sister of he Zizhen. In February 1930, at the party's February 7th meeting, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zeng Shan, Liu Shiqi and pan Xinyuan were elected members of the Standing Committee of the former enemy Committee of the fourth, fifth and sixth armies of the Red Army, with Mao Zedong as secretary. According to the land law of Jinggangshan, Liu Shiqi, Secretary of the southwest Jiangxi special committee, and others formulated a more complete land law of the southwest Jiangxi Soviet. "The decision to confiscate all land, distribute it equally according to the population, and draw more to make up for less" was warmly supported by the masses in the Soviet area. The rapid expansion of the Soviet Area laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the Central Soviet area.

In 1933, Liu Shiqi, commander of the 27th Red Army, was killed at the age of 31 by the Hubei Henan Anhui provincial Party committee who carried out Zhang Guotao's wrong line in Hongan County, Hubei Province.

In 1945, at the party's "Sixth National Congress" meeting, Liu Shiqi was vindicated and pursued as a revolutionary martyr.

Anecdotes and allusions

In February 1930, he presided over the formation of the Sixth Army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army and served as a political commissar and Secretary of the Military Commission. In February, the 4th, 5th and 6th army of the Red Army and the special committees of Western and southern Jiangxi held a joint meeting in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. He attended the meeting as a representative of the 6th army of the Red Army. According to the instructions of the Central Committee, the front Committee of the 4th Red Army was expanded to the 4th, 5th and 6th Red Army and the general front enemy Committee of Southwest Jiangxi, Southern Fujian, Dongjiang and Hunan Jiangxi borders. He and Mao Zedong, Zeng Shan, Zhu De and pan Xinyuan formed the Standing Committee. At this time, the three special committees of West Jiangxi, South Jiangxi and border Hunan and Jiangxi merged into southwest Jiangxi special committee, which was directly under the leadership of the General Front Committee. On March 15 of the same year, the first party congress of Southwest Jiangxi was held in Futian, Jiangxi Province. The special committee of Southwest Jiangxi was formally formed as secretary and Minister of propaganda department. Then, the 20th army of the workers' and peasants' Red Army was established in southwest Jiangxi. He served as secretary of the Military Commission and later as a political commissar. He actively led the agrarian revolution, developed the Red Army and red guards, expanded the revolutionary base in southwest Jiangxi, and made it enter its heyday. However, in August 1930, at the second congress of the special committee of Southwest Jiangxi, he was denounced as a "conservative separatist concept" and wrongly criticized, and was dismissed as secretary of the special committee. He went to Shanghai to report to the CPC Central Committee and was left to study and work in the central authorities.

In July 1931, he was assigned by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui and served as the director of the Political Department of the Fourth Red Army (composed of the former 1st Red Army and the 10th Red Army). After leading the troops to conquer Yingshan County with commander Xu Qianqian, they occupied Qishui (now Xishui), Luotian and Guangji. In November, he joined the 25th Red Army as the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army and served as director of the political department.

In August 1932, Chiang Kai Shek launched the fourth "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and the Red Army lost the battle and turned to fight with the army in Southeast Henan and Northwest Anhui. On the way, he joined Guo Shushen's department at dongjianling, the junction of Anhui and Hubei. At the beginning of October, the 79 regiment led by Suo established the 27th Red Army with Guo Bu as its commander. The troops had been fighting in Anhui for more than 40 days, and many local people were forced by the burning and killing of the Kuomintang troops. They had been following the troops, which brought great inconvenience to the movement of the 27th army. In order to get rid of this passive situation, he decisively decided to dispatch troops to escort the masses following the troops to the Soviet area.

In November 1932, after the main force of the red 4 front army marched to the west, he led his troops back to Qiliping, Huangan County, where the provincial Party committee of Hubei, Henan and Anhui was located. The provincial Party committee decided to abolish the 27th Red Army and incorporate the two regiments into the 25th Red Army.

In the first half of 1933, when the "anti rebel" movement began, he was falsely accused by the Hubei Henan Anhui provincial Party committee, who carried out Zhang Guotao's wrong policy, of "flinching away" and "losing the masses" and was wrongly identified as "reformist" and "counter revolutionary" and killed unjustly. He was only 31 years old.

In 1938, Liu Shiqi was rehabilitated at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
