A family photo from 1928, the man staring at the camera is Wen Jihou, a staunch party branch secretary. **, his closed eyes are not sleeping, but heroic sacrifice. Behind this ** is a magnificent story.
Wen Jihou, born in 1903 in Weinan, Shaanxi, came from a wealthy family, but he was not tainted with the conformism of the children of the family. When he was studying, the influence of the old principal Shi Bizhi made him deeply understand the meaning of the revolution and strengthened his determination to speak out for the poor people.
In 1926, Wen Jihou returned to his hometown with the revolutionary fire, carried out agricultural activities, and took over as the principal of Qilisi Primary School. During this period, he bravely challenged the bandit warlord Liu Zhenhua to seek justice for the people. Wen Jihou organized the people to participate in the agricultural campaign and expelled those who oppressed the people.
In 1927, he assisted the party members in preparing for the Huaxian National Assembly and established the Huaxian Peasant Association Committee, and the peasant movement gradually grew. However, the enemy's counterattack followed. Reactionary Liu Mingchu attacked the Communist Party-run Xuanhua High School and beat students and teachers. The Kuomintang suppressed the mass uprising, searched for party members, and Wen Jihou and others were identified.
In May 1928, Wen Jihou held a party branch meeting at Qilisi Primary School and was captured by the enemy. In the face of torture, he stood firm in party secrecy and was finally summarily executed on May 29 at the age of 25.
After Wen Jihou's wife Cao learned of her husband's death, she made a request: she wanted to take a family photo with her child and husband. This ** witnesses the heroic spirit of Wenji's small family for everyone.
In 1958, ** personally issued a martyr's certificate and posthumously named Wen Jihou as a revolutionary martyr. His sacrifice is the cornerstone of our beautiful life today. Let us inherit the spirit of our ancestors and contribute to the great cause of the motherland.
