After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident in 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was in full swing. Shandong was invaded by the Japanese army, but the local people stepped forward and actively formed anti-Japanese guerrilla forces to bravely resist the invasion. Subsequently, the Eighth Route Army was stationed in Shandong and established the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army to lead the anti-Japanese activities in Shandong. As one of them, Liang Jiqing actively participated in the war against Japan under the command of the Eighth Route Army and made important contributions to the cause of national independence and freedom.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liang Jiqing was awarded the rank of major general and served as the secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee. In 1912, Liang Jiqing was born in a rural family in Laiyang County, Shandong. As a teenager, he excelled in his studies in his hometown, and was later admitted to the No. 9 Provincial High School in Shandong Province and became an outstanding intellectual. During his studies, Liang Jiqing came into contact with progressive ideas and actively participated in the process of saving the country and the nation as his own responsibility.

In 1931, Japan launched the September 18 Incident to invade and occupy Northeast China, while the Kuomintang authorities adhered to a policy of non-resistance, which made Liang Jiqing deeply indignant. So, he joined the "Anti-Imperialist League" in his hometown, and began to participate in anti-Japanese propaganda activities under the leadership of the party, becoming a local leader.

In 1933, Liang Jiqing was officially recruited as a party member and was ordered to engage in revolutionary propaganda work in various parts of Shandong, secretly expanding the ranks of party members and strengthening the revolutionary force. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Liang Jiqing returned to his hometown, founded an anti-Japanese organization, and established an anti-Japanese base in the Asan area of Jiaodong.

With the establishment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, Liang Jiqing's unit was incorporated into the Eighth Route Army, and then he was active in the Jiaodong area under the command of the team, witnessing the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan. It is particularly worth mentioning that in the "sweep" of the Japanese invaders in 1942, Liang Jiqing led his troops to successfully smash the "sweep" plan of the Japanese invaders, and expanded the base areas, connecting the base areas in the East China Sea and promoting the victory process of the War of Resistance against Japan.

Liang Jiqing was a general with outstanding performance during the Liberation War, and his unit was reorganized into the East China Field Army, participated in important battles such as the Laiwu Campaign and the Jinan Campaign, and made important contributions in the process of liberating New China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liang Jiqing successively served in the East China Military Region and was awarded the rank of colonel. Subsequently, he was transferred to the political commissar of the 27th Army, and in 1961 he was promoted to the rank of major general.

After the beginning of the ten-year special period, Liang Jiqing served as a political commissar in the Jiangsu Provincial Military Region and made some mistakes, but on the whole, his contribution is still outstanding. In 1970, Liang Jiqing was transferred to the political commissar of the Anhui Provincial Military Region, and then served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee. In 1977, Liang Jiqing died of illness in Beijing at the age of 65.
