After dinner on March 13, 1951, the city hall in Jinan City, Shandong Province was full of laughter. This is a rare occurrence in a relatively serious office setting. The war at home has ended, and socialist China has found a way forward. Perhaps this is also the reason why the participants laughed heartily. This day is the day when the Cultural Department of the Shandong Military Region held a cultural forum. More than 1,000 comrades from relevant departments attended the scene, and more than 200 cadres at and above the section level were present. The relevant leaders of the Ministry of Culture were the first to speak, followed by Huang Zuyan, director of the Political Department of the Military Region. 
After the meeting, the quyi program was on the stage, and it was really nice to see these shows in that era when entertainment was scarce. The turbulent China has only just been reborn, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. The same is true of the ** auditorium in Jinan City, which is said to be an auditorium, but in fact it is just a slightly less old house, which is slightly decorated. If you want to let the former Kuomintang officials come here, you must think that this place is shabby, and there are no luxurious solid wood chairs under the stage, only rows of simple benches. Fortunately, there are separate seats in the seats of the leaders at the front. At that time, most of the cadres retained the Xi of the war years, wearing military uniforms and carrying guns with them. So everyone looks the same, like having a tea party in the army. And Huang Zuyan, who finished speaking, sat on the wooden chair in the first row. The positions in the first row were empty, except for Huang Zuyan, the other positions were empty, and it turned out that Xu Shiyou and other leaders of other military regions happened to have something to do today, and it was difficult to attend the meeting, so there was only Huang Zuyan in the entire first row, which was very easy to recognize. 
The cadres and soldiers who were happily enjoying the atmosphere of the party at the scene could not have imagined that at this time, a pair of evil eyes had already stared at the biggest leader present - Huang Zuyan!Huang Zuyan, a cadre who is deeply trusted by the leaders of the Republic of China, is about to die in the small auditorium of Jinan City, and unfortunately becomes the first person to be assassinated and sacrificed in the Republic. What caused Huang Zuyan to suffer this fate?Who was he and by what means did he kill?First of all, let's learn about the life of Huang Zuyan and his people. 
Huang Zuyan was born in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province in 1908. Like most cadres of our party and army, his family was poor, his father was a poor handicraft laborer, and the whole family was very difficult. Huang Zuyan's childhood memories are full of bitterness, and hunger and poverty are his best teachers. The whole family saved money for him to finish primary school and know how to read, but after that, he could no longer afford his tuition, so Huang Zuyan dropped out of school and went home to work with his father. At that time, the ideological trend of the Great Revolution was surging, and every aspiring young man threw himself into the revolution with the belief of strengthening the country and enriching the country and saving the country, and Huang Zuyan was no exception. In his work and Xi, Huang Zuyan gradually leaned towards communist ideology, and finally he joined the party in 1927 and was in charge of local agricultural work. 
On April 12, 1927, a day in Chinese history, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup d'état in Shanghai. As a result, the political landscape at home and abroad changed greatly, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was originally pro-Soviet, began to purge the party. A large number of Communists were arrested and the Great Revolution was declared a failure. A grain of ash of the times, falling on the head of an individual, is an unbearable weight of life. Since Huang Zuyan was already a cadre in our party at that time, he was the key target of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and under the butcher's knife of "white terror" wielded by Chiang Kai-shek, Huang Zuyan's entire family was implicated in him, and he could not escape the poisonous hands of the Kuomintang. His father was killed, and his mother was also killed in the displacement. People in the era of peace may have forgotten what class struggle is, but the bloodstained Chinese characters in the history books tell us the truth about the brutal struggle!The second general, Xu Haidong's family of 66 (the reactionary forces slaughtered the village and killed Xu Haidong's distant relatives) were killed by the reactionaries, and Huang Zuyan's family of four sacrificed their lives for the revolution (and two brothers died later). 
It was not only his firm belief that the revolution would be victorious, but also his incomparable dedication to the defeat of the reactionaries, which made him firmly walk on the road of revolution step by step. In the early days when the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was founded, when it was necessary to use armed forces to achieve revolutionary victory, Huang Zuyan performed extremely well. In terms of local work, he has served as the secretary of the county party committee for a long time, in charge of local affairs, no matter whether he is in the first place, he does not have to worry about money and food. In terms of military tasks, he usually served as the commander of the county brigade or county guerrilla unit, and in several "anti-encirclement and suppression" battles, he led his troops to defeat the enemy and develop the revolutionary base areas in the Soviet area bigger and bigger. During this time, he also came into contact with an "idol" he admired, the great leader of New China in the future, * In 1929, ** led more than 4,000 people to southern Jiangnan, and the main person in charge here was Huang Zuyan. Huang Zuyan is much younger than *** born in 1893, a difference of 15 years, but they hit it off at first sight. When Huang Zuyan was a teenager, he read the masterpieces "Analysis of All Classes in Chinese Society" and "Hunan Agricultural Movement Investigation Report". These two articles are really groundbreaking and hit the nail on the head (** relied on his profound thoughts and concise writing to conquer many people). He couldn't think of what kind of person could write such an article until he met *** himself. After a long talk all night and night, Huang Zuyan learned a lot of nutrients from the "Jinggangshan experience", and *** also formed a deep friendship with the "little brother" in front of him. This laid the foundation for the long-term work of the two in the future. 
In 1931, the Chinese Soviet was established in the Provisional Period, with the capital set at Ruijin, with the chairman. At the same time, Huang Zuyan won a big victory in early 1931, and the following year he had an outstanding performance and was commended by his superiors. Coincidentally, there was a lack of a secretary around **, so in 1933, Huang Zuyan was officially transferred to the post of *** secretary. As you know, the position of secretary next to important cadres is very important, and at the same time, the requirements are also very high. Huang Zuyan's own primary school culture was considered a scholar at that time, but if he wanted to be a good "** secretary", this was definitely not enough. During his time in the secretarial department, Huang Zuyan continued to study cultural knowledge diligently, and he was hungry and thirsty, combining his previous practical work experience in the local area with theoretical knowledge. He is already smart and clever, coupled with so many years of work experience, soon, he is more and more relied on in his own position. 
The two are not only close at work, but also very good in personal relationships. It is said that there was a serious illness before the Long March. Like a pendulum, it is sometimes cold and hot, and the fever continues to go away, we must know that in that era, due to the poor medical level and lack of medicine, a cold may kill a person. **The condition at that time can be said to be very serious. Seeing this situation, Huang Zuyan decisively went to invite Fu Lianhuan, the best doctor in the Red Army at that time (after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fu Lianhuan was awarded the rank of lieutenant general). After Fu Lianhuan arrived, he immediately judged that *** was suffering from falciparum malaria, and then applied symptomatic medicine, and under the care of Fu Lianhuan, Huang Zuyan and others, *** quickly recovered. After recovery, *** said to Fu Lianhuan: "We also have Hua Tuo now, and Dr. Fu is Hua Tuo." And few people know that Fu Lianyan was invited back by Huang Zuyan after climbing dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight. 
As the old saying goes, "It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow." "The relationship between Huang Zuyan and *** is not only manifested here, but it is especially obvious that Huang Zuyan supports him during the trough period. Since Gu Shunzhang was arrested in Shanghai in 1931, the first organization in Shanghai has been repeatedly destroyed, so comrades at all levels have gradually moved to Ruijin, where the first is located. Due to the influence of Wang Ming's erroneous ideas at that time, Bogu, Li De and others frantically suppressed him and expelled him from the Politburo, and the Liusu faction gradually seized power. At that time, ***, who had a good relationship with everyone, suddenly had a lot of doors, and everyone was afraid to avoid it, **often smoking alone under the big tree and pondering. It's right to think about it, from one side: Bogu and others left all the comrades who had a good relationship with *** in the Soviet area before the Long March, and most of them died bravelySo everyone began to avoid it unconsciously. But Huang Zuyan doesn't!At work, he not only treated *** as before, but even in his personal feelings, he often went to chat and drink tea, which was extremely rare at that time. It should be said that ***'s personal charm has infected a considerable number of comrades. Even if he offends Bogu and others, he still has to express his respect for *** on the bright side. 
** For Huang Zuyan, it is not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, he is Huang Zuyan's teacher, and he is also Huang Zuyan's friend. In January 1935, after the "Zunyi Conference", the correct line of ** gradually became the mainstream, and I gradually became the supreme commander. The status has become higher, but ***'s attitude towards Huang Zuyan has not changed, and ** often goes to Huang Zuyan's cave when he has time. **Not only discussed work matters with Huang Zuyan, but also his views on the current situation, his understanding of the war, and even his parents' shortcomings, and he also chatted very happily about personal matters. Comrade Li Yaoyu, a guard of Huang Zuyan during his time in Yan'an, once recalled: "* The chat with Huang Zuyan was relaxed, casual, and careless, with rich and colorful content, and a wide range of skies, from domestic to foreign, from work to life, from party and state affairs to personal and private affairs. "From here, we can also see a more flesh-and-blood, fuller and more glorious chairman. When I was in Yan'an, every Spring Festival, ** always took He Zizhen to Huang Zuyan to pay New Year's greetings, you know, at this time, *** has completely established a leading position in the party, and the feelings of these two people are sincere and extraordinary. The last time the two met was in the spring of 1938, Huang Zuyan left Yan'an to go to the front line to resist the Japanese, and for the friends who were about to leave, ** saw them off in person. He took four guards and went to Pagoda Mountain, which he had only been to once in his life, and said to Huang Zuyan with red eyes: "I don't know if you and I can meet in the future!""The revolution has succeeded, let's meet again!".Huang Zuyan replied open-mindedly. But what no one could have imagined was that this meeting would be a great sound, and it would be the last time they would meet in their lives. Thirteen years later, the sun rose in the east, and New China was founded. 
At this time, Huang Zuyan served as the director of the Political Department of the Shandong Military Region and made great contributions to the revolution. On March 13, 1951, Huang Zuyan attended the Shandong Military Region Literary and Art Forum. He was sitting on the right-hand side of the first row, and tonight's meeting was supposed to be presided over by Xu Shiyou himself, but he couldn't be there because of something. And Huang Zuyan himself was suffering from a fever, so he wanted to go home first after he finished speaking, but when he saw that all the leaders present were not there, he decided not to sweep everyone's interest, stayed, and watched the performance. But the sinful eyes were fixed on the weak Huang Zuyan, and the grim reaper slowly came straight towards him. The third program of the party was the Xihe drum, and at the end of this program, a black shadow quietly circled behind Huang Zuyan, and the audience applauded warmly, and there were people walking back and forth in the venue, and no one noticed the appearance of this black shadow. At around 9 p.m., the fourth show Allegro began, and the crowd cheered again. "Bang"!A gunshot rang out, and the joyous atmosphere came to an abrupt end. Huang Zuyan had already been shot in the head, but he did not fall down immediately. He may still be groggy and don't know what happened, or maybe he recalls his revolutionary career for decades and the marquee lights are lit up in his mind, or maybe at the last moment of his life, he thought of his good friend who was alone in Beijing. Huang Zuyan's body gradually lost its strength, and the revolutionary belief that supported him gradually dissipated with blood loss, and he fell to the right side, leaving this world forever. The heroes of a hundred battles died at the hands of Xiao Xiao, which is sad and lamentable!At the same moment when the gun rang out, the battle-hardened cadres in the auditorium subconsciously crawled to avoid the bullets, and then pulled out their portable guns and began to look for the "spies". The deputy director of the Direct Work Department of the Political Department of the Military Region was the first to react: "If there are bad guys, catch the bad guys quickly." Then he rushed at the gun-wielding bad guy. The other comrades who reacted also rushed towards the enemy, and according to the custom, the capture of the enemy alive could obtain more information. And the strange thing is that the enemy actually pointed the gun at his head after firing another shot. "Bang"!"The third gunshot rang out, and the enemy committed suicide. We failed to catch the live "spy", and Huang Zuyan also died that night at the age of 43.
The cadres present thought that this was a targeted assassination and that it must have been the work of the enemy's spies lurking in Shandong, but as the investigation continued to deepen, the truth was shocking. This assassination was not committed by Kuomintang agents, and his identity was extremely special. is actually a grassroots cadre within our army, why did he want to assassinate Huang Zuyan?Let's solve the puzzle together. ** Named Wang Jumin, a native of Shandong, in 1940, he joined the Eighth Route Army, and the following year he managed to join the party. After that, he also served as a grassroots cadre for a long time, served as an instructor, and then was promoted normally, and also served as the deputy section chief of the propaganda and cultural and public departments. Judging from these aspects, there is no problem with his resume, but after investigation, it was found that this person has a big problem. This man came from a family of landowners. Many fighters in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) come from different families, but Wang Jumin has extremely obvious reactionary tendencies. According to the investigation of the public security comrades, in 1944, part of the local policy was changed from "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" to "reducing rent and interest", and it should be said that this kind of policy was part of "uniting all forces that can be united", and it was more moderate to the landlord class.
However, when Wang Jumin found that his family's interests had been damaged, he showed great passive resistance, and he was already a grassroots cadre of our army at that time, because of this incident, he pretended to be sick for a long time to recuperate at home, and did not participate in normal production and training work. It can be said that at this time, the root cause of Wang Jumin's bane has been deeply buried among the grassroots cadres of our party. At this time, Wang Jumin not only had a negative work, but he often said some reactionary words, such as: "The soldiers fought the world, and the mass movement messed up the soldiers", "I was oppressed by feudalism before, and I am still oppressed now" and so on. Wang Jumin's remarks should have been punished accordingly, but for various reasons, he was not dealt with. According to the author's speculation, it may be due to the unfortunate death of his father in this incident, which also made the relevant leaders feel compassion for Wang Jumin. But Wang Jumin is like the poisonous snake in "The Farmer and the Snake", he did not thank the relevant leaders for taking care of them, but instead bred greater resentment in his heart. In 1950, as the deputy head of the mission section, he tried in vain to give the information to prove that his father was not a landlord bully, but after investigation, the situation did not match the facts. His superiors rejected his request, and now Ziwang Jumin completely degenerated into the endless abyss. He could not see how 40,000 of his compatriots had gone from being enslaved to standing up, and he could only see the "glory" of his family in the past and the tenants he had hired were now on an equal footing with him. He has a beam of explosives in his heart that can be ignited at any time, and all it takes is a fuse for his sins to burst out. Unfortunately for such an excellent cadre as Huang Zuyan, the fuse came. In 1951, in response to the complicated situation at home and abroad, a large-scale campaign to "suppress counter-revolution" was launched, and the situation of Wang Jumin's father was also exposed.
Maybe there are some good people among the landlords, but in the dark old society, the vast majority of the landlords are "Huang Shiren" in "The White-Haired Girl". Just seven days before Huang Zuyan was killed, on March 6, the Huimin Army sub-district received a letter of report. It is a joint letter written spontaneously by many people in Wang Jumin's hometown, which expounds in detail that Wang Jumin's father is a complete landlord and old wealth, and bullies men and women in the fish and meat township. Not only that, but more importantly, this letter also revealed that Wang Jumin himself had informed the local armed forces of the Kuomintang in 1938, resulting in the arrest of two underground members of our party. From here, we can see that Wang Jumin has no belief in the revolution, and in the old saying, "it is a grass on the wall, the wind blows that way, and he falls that way."
After Wang Jumin heard about this, he completely lost his mind, thinking that it was time for "the fish to die and the net to be broken", and he planned to kill a big official to support himself. In the following days, he carried a pistol with him, and even put the gun under his pillow when he slept, even in the war period (there were bandits at home, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was being carried abroad), Wang Jumin's behavior also aroused the doubts of some comrades. It is a pity that the leaders of relevant departments did not pay attention to it. Not only that, but the relevant leaders did not notice Wang Jumin's special features at this time, and let him participate in the cultural work symposium of the Shandong Provincial Military Region as usual. At the meeting, because the leader of the first row only came to Huang Zuyan, he was killed and died. And some people have such doubts, if Xu Shiyou came that day, would there be one less founding general?The lesson of blood is at hand. On the evening of March 13, Huang Zuyan was still in the ambulance, and unfortunately died, which was the fifth life that his family sacrificed for the revolution.
On the night of Huang Zuyan's death, the relevant comrades of the Military Region and the Public Security Bureau immediately organized an investigation and reported the results to Beijing. I don't know how sad his expression was when he heard the news, but according to his usual character, he may be on a lonely night, lighting a cigarette, and remembering this old friend and comrade-in-arms very sadly. **The relationship with Huang Zuyan is indeed not ordinary. On March 18, ***, who was busy with his busy schedule, personally drafted a circular and sent it to key units across the country in the name of **: "This is the ...... of a senior cadre of my party who was assassinated by a counter-revolutionary hidden in the party."This is obviously the retaliatory action of the "counter-revolutionaries" at a time when our party and the people are resolutely suppressing the "counter-revolution". I would like to inform you that you would like to inform you of this. On March 20, after reading the report of the Shandong Branch, ** wrote down a paragraph of criticism and sent it to the whole country in the name of **. On April 19, ** made another comment on the joint report submitted by the first Minister of Public Security of New China and other comrades. In just one month, three instructions were given on Comrade Huang Zuyan's sacrifice, and it can be said that this is unique and extremely rare in the entire history of New China.
Moreover, we must know that since the beginning of 1951, New China has launched three large-scale battles (third, fourth, and fifth battles) on the Korean battlefield, and the opponent is the US military, one of the most powerful armies in the world. ** The main focus is on the Korean battlefield, the rapidly changing Korean war situation, the supreme commander of the republic who cannot tolerate the slightest slackness. Even so, ** also made three instructions in person, it can be said that Huang Zuyan has a great weight in his heart. On October 27, 1952, the first stop of the inspection in Jinan was Huang Zuyan's cemetery. With tears in his eyes, the leader of the republic, who was about to be in his sixtieth year, stood in front of Huang Zuyan's tomb and bowed to express his condolences. He said to Xu Shiyou, who accompanied him: "Zu Yan is a good comrade, he used to be my secretary, and he left a deep and good impression on me;Zu Yan can be literate and martial, talent is rare, he is loyal to the party, serious work, for the revolution his family sacrificed 4 relatives, his sacrifice is a heavy loss for our party and our army. "In the history of the Republic, only Huang Zuyan was the only one who was personally mourned at the grave by the party's supreme commander and leader after his death. It's unprecedented.
Huang Zuyan's own contributions to the revolution will always be passed on, and his friendship with *** is also moving. To use a famous quote from a foreign dignitary to describe the relationship between the two, that is: I am willing to reunite with you for the river!
