1923 At the beginning of February, the railway workers' movement broke out in Han Jing, which was the climax of the first workers' movement led by China's * * * Production Party, which showed the strength of the working class in China, expanded the influence of the Party in the hearts of the people of the whole country, and gave birth to the precious spiritual wealth in the history of workers' struggle in China-the Erqi spirit.
100 years ago, the "227" workers' movement broke out along the railways such as Beijing and Hankou, which closely linked the future and destiny of the party and the working class. Lin Xiangqian and other comrades died heroically in the "February 27th" revolutionary struggle and gave their lives for the cause of people's liberation.
On February 1923 and 1 day, representatives of railway workers held the inaugural meeting of the Railway Federation of Trade Unions in Zhengzhou, which was blocked by Wu, a northern warlord. The Federation of Trade Unions moved from Zhengzhou to Hankou Binjiang Office. In order to resist the atrocities of warlords, on February 4, workers on the entire Beijing-Han Railway went on strike.
More than 10000 workers from various trade unions in Wuhan held demonstrations, shouting slogans such as "Workers all over the world unite" and "Down with warlords", which lasted less than three hours, paralyzing the full-length 1000 km Jing-Han Railway. After the strike began, imperialism and northern warlords stepped up their collusion and plotted to suppress the workers. On February 7, with the support of imperialism, Wu sent troops to surround the Federation of Trade Unions and brutally suppressed the strikers.
