1920 in may, Ji Hongchang's father was seriously ill. When Ji Hongchang went home to visit, he saw his father's reluctant eyes and knew that he had something to say. He said, "Dad, if you have something to say, you must remember to do it." His father said earnestly, "My son is honest and brave. He can rest assured for his father, but I have a word to say to you: to be an official, you should be honest and clean, and think more about the poor in the world." Being an official is not allowed to get rich. You just have to do this and die for your father. Otherwise, I can't sleep in the grave! " Ji Hongchang endured grief and replied with tears: "The child wrote it down, please rest assured!"
After his father died of illness, Ji Hongchang wrote the words "Being an official is not rich" on a fine porcelain tea bowl and gave it to a ceramic factory for imitation and firing. After the porcelain bowl was burned, he pulled it to the army by truck, gathered all the officers and men and held a serious bowl-dividing ceremony. He said, "Although I am Ji Hongchang, I will never oppress the people and rob them of their wealth. I must remember my father's teachings. Being an official is not to get rich, but to do good for the poor in the world. Please supervise me. " Then, he personally distributed bowls to all officers and men to encourage them to be honest and clean. At that time, Ji Hongchang was a battalion commander under Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army. He was only 25 years old.
From then on, Ji Hongchang took the fine porcelain tea bowl with him that said "Be an official and don't get rich" as a mirror to remind himself how to behave. This bowl accompanied General Ji Hongchang until his death at the age of 39.

He carefully inspected the situation in the anti-Japanese base areas, visited many schools and worked with local soldiers and civilians.

The condolence telegram accepted Zou Taofen's dying request, ratified him as party member, the Communist Party of China, and fully affirmed his achievements: "Mr. Tao Fen fought for the national salvation movement, democratic politics and cultural undertakings for more than twenty years. Although I am in exile, I will never give in to violence and will never change my mind until my last breath. Still talking about the people of the motherland, their spirit is longer than the world, and their works are immortal. "
Li Dazhao died generously.
On the morning of April 6, 1927, a large number of military and police officers rushed to the embassy district of Dongjiaomin Lane.

On the afternoon of his arrest, Li Dazhao was interrogated. In prison, Li Dazhao was not stubborn, but took a circuitous way of struggle.

According to the newspaper report at that time, when Li Dazhao was tried, he was "very refreshed and calm, and he was a believer in Marxist theory, so he joined * * *, saying that he knew nothing about all other behaviors and was under strict supervision".
On the 6th day after Li Dazhao's imprisonment, that is, in the early morning of April 1927, China began a sudden crackdown, and Shanghai began to bleed, which flooded the spring in China 1927. Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed Zhang: "Execute the arrested party member immediately to avoid future trouble."

At 6: 438 p.m., Li Dazhao and other 20 people were taken in six prison wagons and escorted by armed soldiers to a huge gallows at Shi Jing Detention Center in Xijiaomin Lane.
At this time, Li Dazhao, dressed in a cotton robe, calmly left the last photo in front of the enemy's camera and calmly watched the noose swaying in the wind. The first one boarded the gallows and the first one died peacefully. At that time, he was not yet 38 years old.
4. Fang Zhimin's faith
"The enemy can only cut off our heads and never shake our faith! Because the doctrine we believe in is the truth of the universe! We are very willing to sacrifice for communism and bleed for the Soviet Union! "
Fang Zhimin, 1899, is a native of Yiyang County, Jiangxi Province. /KLOC-0 joined the Socialist Youth League of China in August, 922. 1March, 924, transferred to China. 1928 1 month, participated in leading the Yiheng Uprising, founded the Soviet area in northeast Jiangxi, and led the formation of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants 10 Army.

He combined the universal truth of Marxism with the reality in northeast Jiangxi, and created a whole set of experience in party building, army building and the establishment of red political power, which was called "Fang Zhimin-style" base area by Mao Zedong.
1934165438+1at the beginning of October, Fang Zhimin was ordered to lead the Red Army's anti-Japanese advance team northward, and Ren Hongjun 10 was the chairman of the military and political committee. When we arrived in Anhui, the Kuomintang army was besieged and blocked by heavy troops. After fighting hard for more than two months, it was besieged by an enemy force seven times its own. He led the vanguard troops out of danger, but in order to meet the follow-up troops, he re-entered the encirclement and was finally captured in Longshou Village, Yushan, Jiangxi Province on June 27th. 1935. On the day of his arrest, two Kuomintang soldiers searched Fang Zhimin's whole body, but there was no money except a pocket watch and a pen.

Wang Yangming is aboveboard.
On the night of the 28th lunar month 1528 1 1, Wang Yangming woke up from a beautiful dream. He changed his clothes and sat upright against a waiter, so he sat all night.
The next morning, he called his disciple Zhou Ji in. Zhou Ji rushed in and Wang Yangming had fallen. It was a long time before I opened my eyes, looked at Zhou Ji and said, "I'm leaving."
Zhou Ji wept silently and asked, "What was the teacher's last words?" Only Wang Yangming's hissing breathing is still on board. Wang Yangming smiled at Zhou Ji with his last strength in his life and said, "What can I say if I know this clearly?"
Wang Yangming believes in the unity of knowing and doing, and he will be an aboveboard person all his life. Carrying forward his lifelong learning and psychology, he helped us point out the direction of an open mind. Life should be like this, so should death. Mr. Yangming did it when he died, but we couldn't even do it when we were alive. This is the gap of faith.
