He was sent to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area as the commander of the 318th Regiment of the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, while his wife, Wang Genying, continued to work in the factory and led many workers' movements.
In the same year, Wang Genying was transferred to the head of the women's labor department. However, the traitor betrayed her, and she was unfortunate at home**. The reactionaries listed many of her crimes, but she was resilient and resisted by a hunger strike.
Although Wang Genying was finally sentenced to "8 years in prison" without valid evidence, she was prepared for the worst. Yet, every time she thought of her young son and husband in a foreign country, she silently shed tears.
In 1937, after 4 years in prison, Wang Genying was finally acquitted. After she was released from prison, she was like a phoenix and worked harder.
