In order to seek the truth of saving the country and the people, under the influence of the May Fourth Movement, Yang took an exam in Kaifeng and was admitted as the first batch of international students who went to France to work and study. On February 9th,19158 hot-blooded youths including Nie boarded the French passenger ship "Slock" (also known as Phoenix) at Yangcunpu Wharf. After arriving in France, he studied French, mathematics, physics, chemistry and other courses with Cai Hesen and Zhao Shiyan, and worked in rayon factory, tofu mill and St. Sha Meng Iron Works successively. Several of them share a small room, a set of stoves, take turns cooking, and sleep on the wet underground bunk. Without rice, they often have only one porridge a day. When you are hungry, unscrew the water pipe and drink cold water to satisfy your hunger. There is no cotton-padded clothes to wear in winter, so we rely on jumping and other sports to keep warm. Although life is hard, Yang can find pleasure in suffering and never be pessimistic. He discussed problems and excitement with his classmates. He was very excited and said, "I will return to China in the future. The revolution has succeeded. It will be interesting to look back at our study abroad life! " Zhao Shiyan said earnestly, "Did the revolution succeed? A set of anarchist fallacies that Li Shizeng and his family moved from bakunin? It is far away from us and cannot be deceived! " Yang Renjie asked in surprise, "What is the reason for saving the country and the people?" Zhao Shiyan smiled and handed it to Yang Shu, saying,' Here you are. You will understand if you study hard! "Zhao Shiyan knew that Yang was influenced by anarchism and was afraid that he would take the ramp, so as to extend a hand of friendship in time.
Yang opened the Bao Shu, which contained Marx and Engles' Manifesto of the Productive Party, Lenin's State and Revolution, and "Left-leaning Infantile Diseases in the Productive Movement". When Yang got these books, he was eager to study day and night. Ask Zhao Shiyan, Cai Hesen, Li Fuchun, etc. if you have questions you don't understand or don't know. Yang was deeply attracted by the contents of the book. He said, "Brother Zhao! You lit a lamp in my heart! This Marxism–Leninism is really a magic weapon of revolution. Without your guidance, I would have fallen into the mire of anarchy and could not pull it out. Then live in vain for a lifetime! "
Yang was originally the leader of Henan students studying in France. He not only studied Marxism-Leninism hard, but also introduced his experience to others so that everyone could benefit from it. He led Henan students studying in France to take an active part in the May 4th Movement overseas led by Cai Hesen and the struggle to occupy the Sino-French University in Lyon. Soon, he was approved to join the European Department of the China Youth Party, attended the first congress of the European Department of the China Youth Party in June 1922, and attended the temporary congress of the European Department of the China Youth Party in June 1923. Under the leadership of Zhou Enlai and others, the China Youth Production Party in Europe was renamed China. Soon, Yang was approved to be officially transferred to party member. Yang Jie is happy that she has found the revolutionary truth, and proud that she is a fighter. He wrote a passionate letter to his mother who was far away from home. The letter said, "My son came to France, traveled across the ocean, and worked and studied. My son has been running around in recent years, not only for his home, but also for his country. I know our family is poor. Foreigners transport all our gold from China to other countries every year. You don't know that foreigners buy our wheat from China, but it is very expensive. If we China people don't try to drive away foreigners, we will all become foreign slaves. Your son is abroad, and he sees foreigners going to China with helmets, bayonets and cannons. Your son will have a great hatred with foreigners ... "
At the end of 1923, the party organization arranged for Yang to study at Moscow Oriental University in the Soviet Union. 1 14 10. In October, he and Li Weinong and other 20 people arrived in Moscow from France. Here he studied the history of the October Revolution, the history of the Communist Party of China, the history of the workers' movement, the history of the world revolution, political economy and so on. , and also conducted a field survey on the situation of workers and peasants in the Soviet Union after the October Revolution. He said excitedly, "The October Revolution is our example. We will also overthrow the reactionary ruling class in China and establish a people's democratic country in which workers and peasants are the masters. "
After returning to China, Yang will go to the revolutionary fighting post. He walked happily into the office of the Beijing-Hankow Railway Federation of Trade Unions. The trade union leaders warmly received him and told him that he was sent to Anyang (Zhangde) to take charge of the revolutionary work of Han Jing Railway from Xinxiang to Xingtai and Daoqing Railway from Daokou to Jiaozuo. After introducing the brief situation of the area, the trade union leaders told us to rely on the masses when we got there, and to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of current Sino-US cooperation to restore and establish party groups and trade union organizations there first.
Yang has completely changed since he left the Jinghan Railway Federation of Trade Unions: his suit and tie were replaced by a worn cotton-padded jacket and a pair of thick cloth shoes, and a worn felt hat covered his thick little black head. The exquisite suitcase disappeared and was replaced by a shabby little bamboo basket. He is no longer a handsome young man, but a travel-stained beggar. However, his bright eyes and resolute attitude have not changed. He is determined to restore and establish the destroyed party and trade union organizations in Anyang as soon as possible, blossom everywhere in northern Henan and turn the old world upside down!
After Yang came to Anyang, he lived in the home of railway workers. According to the spirit of the First Plenary Session of the Third Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "Henan Province should start with restoring the Party's organization in Anyang", he devoted himself to his work, sometimes talking with workers, and sometimes going in and out of institutions, schools and business circles. He also held various meetings to analyze the situation, discuss problems and arrange work, and soon cultivated a number of party member, such as Luo Renyi, Cheng Yuxuan and Hu Jinshan. These backbones used the method of "stringing candied haws" to mobilize, induce and inspire one by one. In just a few months, Anyang Railway Station, Locomotive Depot, Guangyi Cotton Mill, Zhenxing Iron Factory, Liuhegou Coal Mine and Provincial No.11 Middle School have successively established youth league branches and trade union organizations. When the conditions were ripe, Anyang Teke and Secretary Yang Ren were established in time. Soon, Yang was elected as a member of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions. Yang believes that the foundation has been laid, and the next step is to ignite the flame of the revolution and make it more and more fierce.
1925 At the beginning of June, the news of the May 30th massacre in Shanghai reached Anyang. Yang immediately held a meeting with the Kuomintang County Party Department, Luo Renyi (the academic director of the eleventh provincial middle school), Xu (then the political instructor of the Sixth Huncheng Brigade Training Camp of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army) and Kong. Yang angrily reported the incident to everyone, and said, "In the May 30 tragedy, when our compatriots were in trouble, people all over the country were furious and stood up and vowed to be the backup of all walks of life in Shanghai. All walks of life in Anyang have great responsibilities. We must act quickly and encourage all walks of life to do it with great fanfare. Only in this way can we form a strong force, oppose imperialist atrocities, safeguard national dignity and swear to be the backing of Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles. " After the meeting, everyone split up and Yang He went to Provincial No.11 Middle School to hold a teacher-student meeting. Wearing a cap and a worker's uniform, he angrily boarded the platform and delivered an impassioned long speech. His forceful words and fiery grief deeply infected the audience. Everyone raised their arms and shouted "unite and overthrow British and Japanese imperialism!" "Severely punish the murderer and avenge the dead martyrs!" "I won't stop until I reach my goal!"
Then, Yang actively organized contacts, and successively established the Anti-Imperialist League of Anyang from all walks of life and the Anyang Student Union. On June 7, he sent a telegram to support Shanghai through the Daily of the Republic of China: "The Daily of the Republic of China was sent to the Shanghai Student Union and various industrial and commercial organizations for reference. The British captured and killed their compatriots, and the Anyang youth vowed to be the backing, which was outrageous! " On the same day, Yang and others sent letters and telegrams to the Guangdong National Government, the government of the Republic of China in Beijing, governors, divisions and brigades, federations from all walks of life, and newspapers and periodicals in the name of the Kuomintang Anyang County Party Department. The telegram said: "In the May 30th tragedy, the national warlords closed patriotic organizations in Shanghai, Tianjin and Shandong for no reason. Its tendency to flatter foreigners is obvious, and its willingness to be a running dog is also obvious. Please ask the people of the whole country to condemn urgently ... our department vows to be the backing of the people and is eager for power. "
Subsequently, Yang, Luo Renyi, Kong and others led more than 30 lecture teams, carrying 654.38+million leaflets, went deep into factories, villages and schools, took to the streets, made reports to people from all walks of life, told the story of the tragedy, called on the whole people to unite, set off an anti-imperialist patriotic climax, and denounced the heinous crimes of British and Japanese imperialism that harmed my compatriots!
On June/KOOC-0/925 June/KOOC-0/0, Yang and others organized more than 3,000 people from all walks of life in Anyang and more than 8,000 coal mine workers to participate in massive demonstrations and fund-raising activities. Schools are on holiday, shops are closed, offices are closed, and publicity is carried out in various places to "launch a mass education campaign to let compatriots know patriotism". The grand occasion of the anti-imperialist and patriotic struggle in Anyang and other places in northern Henan has aroused great concern in the press. Influential newspapers all over the country, such as Republic of China Daily, Morning Post and Beijing Daily, have reported continuously.
In order to make mass movements in other parts of northern Henan more extensive and in-depth, Yang also held several joint meetings of leaders of party organizations and trade unions such as Jiaozuo Coal Mine, Anyang Station, Guangyi Cotton Mill and Liuhegou Coal Mine. He said: "If we want to recover the concession, expel foreign powers, and abolish the privileges of Britain and Japan in China, we must unite, support each other and act in concert." He personally led the strike in Liuhegou Coal Mine, and Jiaozuo sent representatives to support it, negotiating directly with capitalists on behalf of workers. He directed the strike in Jiaozuo Coal Mine, which lasted for more than eight months. He not only mobilized the masses in Qinyang, Xiuwu, Wuzhi and Huojia counties near Jiaozuo, but also sent delegations from Anyang and other places to Jiaozuo for support, thus winning the strike struggle. Yang's work in Anyang was highly praised and fully affirmed by the higher party. 192665438+1October 4th, * * said in a report to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League: "Yang has many benefits, and his hard-working, simple and proactive work spirit is rare among comrades working in Henan. The workers, students and staff here trust him very much ... and he is very outgoing. " Many newspapers in this country. Have made a detailed report. Mao Zedong spoke highly of this strike, seamen's strike, railway strike and Kailuan coal mine strike in the article "Social Class Analysis of China". Taking this series of strikes as an example, it shows that industrial workers in China are particularly capable of fighting.
1926, Henan was once again caught in crossfire, and the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army was defeated. Wu, make a comeback, suppress the revolution and slaughter revolutionaries. Yang was re-appointed as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Weihui Party Secretary. In the winter of that year, he was appointed as the head of Anyang District Committee and secretary of Anyang County Committee, and went underground from the public to carry out secret revolutionary activities. At the meeting held by the Executive Committee of Central Henan Province, "Under the leadership of the * * * Production Party, unify the gun associations of the whole province and the peasant self-defense forces and carry out the struggle against the warlord government", Yang said: "For the convenience of contact, from today on, I changed my name to Wang Sanwei!" Ma Cunhan, a county officer, said with a smile, "San-wei wang, this name is so fresh! Yang explained: "I am afraid that the three are local tyrants and evil gentry, corrupt officials and feudal warlords." As a result, "Wang Sanwei" became the secret code name of Anyang County Committee.
At that time, Tianmen Society was the largest peasant self-defense armed organization in Anyang. In order to do a good job in Tianmen Club, Yang came to Dongyou Village in Linxian County alone to meet Han, the head teacher of Tianmen Club. Before he entered the village, he was caught by the members of the Tianmen Society on guard, tied up, blindfolded and sent to the headquarters of Tianmen Society, saying that he was a spy sent by Feng Jun. Han felt that it was of great importance and personally questioned: "What's your name? What are you doing here? Tell the truth! " Not afraid, Yang said, "My name is Wang Sanwei, and I came to join the army because of the prosperity of Tianmen! I won't say anything until I see Mr. Han! " Han's eyes lit up, oh! This man is really well connected! Then he said, "I'm Han. Please speak! " Yang confidently said, "Do you treat people sent by your boss like this?" Han smiled and said, "Untie!"
After taking a seat to serve tea, Yang motioned Han to step down, and took out a certificate from the Commissioner of Wuhan National Government and a letter from Anyang District Committee to Han, as well as documents such as Resolution on Peasant Movement, Letter to Farmers and Resolution on Red Gun Movement. And asked Han to read it carefully. He said: "The national government knows that Tianmen will be the largest peasant armed force in northern Henan. You strive to establish and develop Tianmen Club! Now that the Northern Expedition has developed successfully, it will enter Henan in a few days. I hope your department will pay close attention to rectifying the organization, strengthening discipline, improving combat effectiveness, cracking down on the army and welcoming the Northern Expedition! This is the gist of my coming to the head teacher! "
Yang's words spoke from Han's heart. As soon as Han came into contact, he felt that Yang was majestic and had an extraordinary speech. After talking, he thought Yang was a great man. The more they talk, the closer they get, and the more they talk, the more speculative they are. In a very short time, Yang helped Korea to formulate the tenet of Tianmen Society, that is, "eliminate violence, tolerate and help each other, resist soldiers and bandits, resist exorbitant taxes and levies, oppose corrupt officials and overthrow local tyrants and evil gentry". They drafted the articles of association of Tianmen Association and the way to develop the congregation, stipulating that Tianmen Association can be eclectic with peasant associations and allowed to put forward corresponding slogans according to different situations. 1927 In March, Yang led Guo Youyuan, Zhou Shilong and other representatives of Tianmen Society to attend the Henan Armed Farmers' Congress, and brought back many documents, which further made the backbone of Tianmen Society accept the idea of the * * * production party ideologically.
With Yang's specific help, Tianmen Society has rapidly developed into a peasant armed force of 300,000 to 400,000 people, covering more than 20 counties in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan. In Jixian, Huaxian, Xiuwu, Huixian and other places, the underground party organizations in China have close ties with Tianmen Society, and they are all willing to accept the command and dispatch of the production party organizations.
At the beginning of 1927, in order to cooperate with the Northern Expeditionary Army in marching into northern Henan, Yang and Han called on organizations at all levels in Tianmen society to take every opportunity and take various measures to crack down on them in various places, and led their troops to defeat them four times in southwest townships and railway stations in Cixian County. Soon Yang sent Jiao Fuan and Zheng Gang to contact Cixian Teke Li Xiangyu, led more than 2,000 people to conquer Linzhang County in one fell swoop, and posted notices supporting Wuhan National Government and opposing warlord government. Then, Yang personally directed the workers of Liuhe Gou coal mine and Tianmen congregation to blow up the Zhanghe Railway Bridge, interrupted the railway transportation, obtained the military supplies for the whole train, armed themselves and attacked. Under the leadership of the underground party in China, Tianmen Association and peasant associations all over the country acted in unison, burying mines, erecting old guns, sinking ferries, cutting railways and power lines, which made the troops frightened and lost their footing, and abandoned countless munitions and other munitions. Wu Jin, Director of Foreign Affairs of Feng Jun, lamented: "An Guo Jun (that is, Feng Jun) lost to Hebei this time because farmers' organizations such as Red Gun Association and Tianmen Association were surging and unable to cope. "
1In the winter of 933, Yang went to Tianjin to find a party organization. He was betrayed when he met a traitor named Zhang in the teahouse. Unfortunately, he was arrested and put into the fourth prison of Baoding Army. In the face of imprisonment, Yang fell into deep sorrow and resentment.
After Yang led Tianmen Society in 1927, he organized two armed riots in Anyang in order to meet the counter-revolutionary rebellion of Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and Feng Yuxiang, but both failed because of traitors' betrayal. In Kaifeng prison, he was tortured, and the enemy even smoked his anus, wrists and ankles with lighted candles, leaving him covered in blood and no good place. He is indomitable, upright and has no regrets.
This time in Baoding prison, the enemy's punishment was even more cruel and he was knocked unconscious many times. Facing death, he gritted his teeth.
Unable to find any evidence, the enemy sentenced Yang to 10 years in prison for "disturbing public order and endangering national security". In prison, Yang used the opportunity of fresh air to secretly contact with the party organizations in prison, participated in the leadership hunger strike many times, and was sentenced to another five years.
The heavier punishment for the enemy further inspired Yang's revolutionary fighting spirit. He has risked his life to make the final arrangement. He wrote to his relatives and friends and said, "I have suffered from stomach trouble many times (referring to the hunger strike of the leaders), and I am afraid it is rare to recover." I have a son named Dian Chen, who is now an apprentice in the charcoal oil furnace factory in Tangzhuming, Yangshupu, Shanghai. Please take care of his son when he grows up. "
At 2 o'clock in the morning on 23rd, Yang, together with other personnel of China Prison Bureau, led a prison break riot. He first seized the guns and keys of the warden and the guards, then opened the cage, smashed the instruments of torture, led thousands of prisoners out of the prison, and went straight to the small south gate to prepare for leaving the city. Unexpectedly, the underground gatekeeper was replaced and could not leave the city. The security team of the pseudo-Hebei Provincial Public Security Bureau rushed out to suppress it crazily, and the prisoners involved in the riots were once again locked in high walls. Of the seven organizers and leaders of the prison break riot, except for two who escaped, all five people including Yang were killed.
1936 12.30, yang was killed in Baoding prison, Hebei province at the age of 37. His eldest son, Yang Diansheng, was also implicated and killed in Xi.
1946 Spring, Qinyang was liberated. Yang Jie's wish to fight for it has come true! The people's government held a memorial service in Chongyi Town, Yang's hometown, to commend his achievements and ratify him as a revolutionary martyr.
