Shouldering morality with iron shoulders, writing articles with skillful hands", Mr. Li Dazhao's words of encouragement are the words he wrote to himself, and they are also a true portrayal of his life.
In his short but splendid 38 years of life, Li Dazhao took the lead in carrying the banner of Marxism, led the founding of the Communist Party of China, and led the training of countless revolutionary youths, making great contributions to the cause of China's national liberation.
Of course, Mr. Li Dazhao has become a shining example of all revolutionaries, and he is also a spiritual beacon for his family's descendants. Li Dazhao has 5 children who have grown up, all of whom have followed in their father's footsteps and embarked on the road of revolution to help the world, and the same is true for their grandchildren.
Li Dazhao. In the exhibition hall of the National Museum of China, there is a national first-class cultural relic, a pair of rusty and bloodstained gallows. It is a special collection numbered 0001 among the more than 1 million precious cultural relics in the museum.
On April 28, 1927, Mr. Li Dazhao was in front of this gallows, and he firmly shouted, "You hang me, my soul will not die!" The revolution is not dead! After the slogan, calmly and righteously.
On April 6 of that year, the Qingming Festival, more than 300 military police surrounded the Soviet embassy in full armor, and they arrested Li Dazhao, his wife Zhao Yunlan, and several children with hideous faces. Only the eldest son, Li Baohua, escaped because he went out with Lu Xun to attend a party.
Although Zhao and the children were finally released from prison safely with the help of friends, the despicable reactionary warlords did not let them go. The gendarmes came to harass him twice in three days, and even did everything possible to obstruct Li Dazhao's burial, resulting in his death for six years before he could be buried in peace.
In order to protect Li Dazhao's family, people from all walks of life went around and did a lot of work, and finally succeeded in sending Zhao Yunlan and her four children back to their hometown in Hebei, Daheituo Village, Leting County. Only Li Baohua decided to study in Japan alone, just like his father chose to do in 14 years.
In 1913, 24-year-old Li Dazhao traveled east to Japan and entered Waseda University to study. And behind Li Dazhao's study in Japan, there is actually a little-known story. Li Dazhao's life is relatively miserable, less than a year after he was born, his parents died one after another, and he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child. He attaches great importance to the cultivation of Li Dazhao, and has always been a parallel cultural education and personality education. From childhood to adulthood, the sentence that Li Dazhao heard the most was that he should grow up and become a talent, give back to society, and pull the people out of the abyss of suffering. It can also be seen from this that the Li family has the same talent in educating their children.
Under the indoctrination and influence of his grandfather, Li Dazhao established the ultimate goal of life since he was a child, and vowed to find a way out for the vast number of suffering people. At first, Li Dazhao thought of "saving the country by law" and using the law to defend the rights and interests and safety of the people, for which he was also admitted to the Beiyang College of Political Science and Law. However, as everyone knows, in that era, the law could almost only restrict those honest people who had no money and no power, but any small gendarme dared to use chicken feathers as an arrow and wantonly oppressed the people at the bottom.
It was precisely after feeling that there was no hope for the road of legal salvation that Li Dazhao decided to go to Japan, where his mind was free and open-minded, to study political science, in order to find a good way to fundamentally save the country and the people. It was also during his three years in Japan that Li Dazhao came into contact with Marxism, thus laying a solid foundation for his subsequent development.

As the saying goes, "the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade". At that time, Li Dazhao personally opened up the wasteland and found a way to save the country for China. Li Baohua was able to avoid those twists and turns of trial and error, firmly followed his father's footsteps, went to Japan for further study, joined the Communist Party, and decisively abandoned everything after the outbreak of the September 18 Incident and returned to China to participate in the anti-Japanese patriotic struggle.
South Chen North Li, meet to build the party" This good story must be known to everyone. In 1920, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao agreed to form the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and Beijing at the same time, thus pushing China into a new era.
As the two pioneers of the Chinese revolution, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao can be called "one family full of loyal martyrs, and one family loyal and virtuous for generations". But the amazing thing is that they have the opposite idea of educating their children. Chen Duxiu can be regarded as a "tiger father", he is very strict with his children, believing that only by "working their minds, working their muscles and bones, starving their bodies and skin, and supporting themselves" can they cultivate new youth. There has been a special introduction to the story of Chen Qiaonian and Chen Yannian before, and you can take a look if you are interested.
On the other hand, Li Dazhao is definitely a model of "national father". In Li Baohua's memories, Li Dazhao never lost his temper with his family, although he only came to his father when he was 9 years old, he received a lot of care and companionship. Li Dazhao never deliberately instilled revolutionary ideas in them, nor did he ask them about their academic achievements, but unconditionally supported the children's hobbies and ideals.
Li Baohua. But it is said that "if there is a father, there must be a son", with a father like Li Dazhao standing in front of him, how could Li Baohua not be touched?
Friends who have watched "The Awakening Age" must know something about Li Dazhao, and his personality charm is very powerful. On the street, he met a poor couple who sold their bodies to raise money because their children were seriously ill, Li Dazhao emptied his pockets without saying a word, and even pawned all the valuable items on his body to help the strange child treat the disease.
In the revolutionary movement, when Chen Duxiu and others were still focused on the intellectuals, Li Dazhao had already taken the lead in entering the working class, propagating socialism in easy-to-understand words and calling on them to fight together.
Later, in the face of the wanted pursuit of the reactionary warlords, Li Dazhao was fearless, stuck to his position, and stood at the forefront to launch a charge. Even when he stood in front of the gallows, he was brave and fearless, convinced that the revolution would be victorious.
From the gentleness and humility in life, to the perseverance and courage during the revolution, to the patriotic heart for the country and the people. Li Dazhao's words and deeds have influenced countless Chinese, including his children.
Under the subtle influence of Li Dazhao, his five children Li Baohua, Li Xinghua, Li Yanhua, Li Guanghua and Li Xinhua all embarked on the road of serving the country, without exception.
Li Baohua, who was born in 1909, joined the Communist Youth League at the age of 16 and began to actively participate in *** On March 18, 1926, Li Dazhao led tens of thousands of people to gather in front of the Duan Qirui ** building in Beijing and launched a huge anti-imperialist demonstration. This demonstration is known as "March 18**" because during the conference, the demonstrators were violently suppressed by Duan Qirui**, and 47 aspiring young people were splashed with blood on the spot, including Liu and Zhenjun written by Mr. Lu Xun.
* After the incident, the city of Beijing was quickly enveloped in white terror. The reactionary warlords were like cats with their tails trampled on, baring their teeth and claws, frantically searching for and suppressing Li Dazhao and other revolutionaries. Li Baohua's patriotic fighting spirit was also stimulated to the peak during this period, and he stepped out of the "comfort zone" of demonstrations and officially participated in revolutionary work.
At that time, in order to avoid Duan Qirui's **, Li Dazhao went underground to work, and Li Baohua spontaneously acted as his father's correspondent and fought side by side with Li Dazhao. During that time, Li Baohua collected and transmitted letters, observed the movements of reactionary warlords, and provided information to revolutionaries, doing a lot of work within his capacity. His personal abilities and revolutionary convictions were further enhanced.
In 1927, after Li Dazhao's heroic uprising, Li Baohua assumed the pseudonym Yang Zhen and entered the Tokyo Higher Normal School in Japan to study. In May 1931, Li Baohua inherited his father's legacy, joined the Communist Party, and served as the secretary of the Tokyo Special Branch of the Communist Party of China. During his study abroad, Li Baohua actively propagated Marxism and socialist ideology to the compatriots in Japan while studying deeply and specialized in research, so as to develop strength for the organization.
After the outbreak of the 918 Incident, Li Baohua resolutely gave up his studies and rushed back to the motherland. During the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Baohua was in charge of the party's publication "Front", served as the president of the party school, and participated in the creation of the anti-Japanese base in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region. After the outbreak of the Liberation War, Li Baohua successively served as political commissar of the Beiyue Military Region and political commissar of the First Column of the North China Field Army, and made great contributions to the victory of the revolution and the liberation of the nation.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Baohua still insisted on the first front line for the country and the people for decades.
He is the pioneer and founder of China's water conservancy and hydropower industry, leading important projects such as the Three Gorges Project of the Yangtze River and the Jingjiang River Flood Diversion Project, and making outstanding contributions to river governance.
He served as the governor and party secretary of the People's Bank of China, and behind China's restoration of the legal status of the International Monetary Organization and the World Bank, Li Baohua's meticulous efforts are inseparable.
He successively served as the first secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee. During his tenure of office, he actively corrected rightists, improved people's livelihood, and grasped both industry and agriculture, comprehensively promoting the development of the two provinces, and won the reputation of "Li Qingtian".
It is worth mentioning that as the child who has spent the longest time with Li Dazhao and is most deeply influenced by his father, Li Baohua is also very good at educating children. According to Li Baohua's second son Li Hongta, Li Baohua's education method is very similar to that of his grandfather Li Dazhao, who has abandoned the shackles of rules and regulations, and has always emphasized teaching by word and deed.
As the president of the bank, Li Baohua has lived in a simple house all his life, is diligent and thrifty, and is reluctant to change the sofa until the spring is broken. Under the influence of his father, Li Baohua's three sons also insisted on honesty and integrity. For example, Li Hongta, before 2000, as the director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, he presided over the work of subdividing rooms four times, but he did not include himself on the list four times. Later, the provincial ** couldn't stand it, so he gave him a small suite, so Li Hongta was able to live in a new house.
It is said that "the tiger father has no dog", and there are two benchmarks of Li Dazhao and Li Baohua erected in front, and Li Baohua's children will naturally not be bad. Li Baohua has three sons, the eldest son Li Qing was the minister of Zhejiang Province, the second son Li Hongta was the director of the Anhui Civil Affairs Department, and the youngest son Li Yazhong is the chief engineer of the Hydrological Bureau of the Ministry of Water Resources.
In addition to Li Baohua's family, Li Dazhao's other four children who have grown up are also very good.
The eldest daughter, Li Xinghua, joined the Communist Party in 1932. She has participated in underground revolutionary work for a long time, propagating revolutionary ideas and rescuing ** comrades. After the country was stabilized, Li Xinghua abandoned Rong and began to "write articles with a good hand" like his father. Li Xinghua has created a lot of folk literature, the most famous of which is "Memories of My Father Li Dazhao".
Li Xinghua. The second daughter, Li Yanhua, has been walking on the road of education and education, when she was young, she worked as a primary school teacher in her hometown, and then entered the Jianguo College in eastern Hebei to cultivate talents for the construction of New China.
The second son, Li Guanghua, participated in the revolution at the age of 14 and rushed to Yan'an at the age of 18, and served as the Propaganda Minister of the Leting County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Electronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The youngest son, Li Xinhua, is also keen on education and has a bright future as the principal of Beijing Dayu Middle School. But not long after the liberation, Li Xinhua took the initiative to teach in poor mountainous areas, and then stayed here as the principal.
It is said that "children are a mirror of their parents", and family style and family education play a fundamental role in the growth and success of future generations. Revolutionary martyr Li Dazhao, who was both strong and soft all his life, served the country and the people, and he held high the banner and charged against the dark forces; On the one hand, he was sympathetic to the people's livelihood and took out all his family funds to help and relieve the people. Li Dazhao is the idol and benchmark of all revolutionaries, and a revolutionary hero in the eyes of thousands of Chinese people.
As the descendants of heroes, Li Baohua and others are also in their respective posts, making unremitting efforts for national construction and people's happiness. I believe that Li Dazhao's spirit and heroic stories will be passed on, and many years later, when people mention Li Dazhao's family again, it will still be the same sentence: Li Dazhao's family has been loyal and good for generations.
