When he 13 was in primary school, he dropped out of school because of poverty. Later, he and his uncle (the adjutant of Liu, a member of the Kuomintang army) worked together as orderlies in the army. After three years in the army, he saw that the Kuomintang was politically corrupt and distracted, and felt that there was no future in this way. He left the army and went home to farm, grinding beans and selling bamboo at leisure. Later, he worked as a militia in Xu Tiancun under Xie Ziyao. Because Xie set up checkpoints in the village to collect taxes and imposed heavy taxes, he was very dissatisfied with the heavy taxes and deeply sympathized with the businessmen, so he let the businessmen who had not paid taxes go. Later, Xie Ziyao found out and fired him, so he took a barge shell privately and left angrily. At that time, the revolutionary fire had reached Daxin, and the Daxin Soviet government had been established. * * Village, Liu and Liu participated in the revolution, and followed Liu and Liu Aihuan to Daxin Soviet Area to participate in the revolutionary work. After joining the revolutionary ranks, Wen Chuan was brave and active, and often carried out revolutionary activities in Daxing 'anling, Shimen, Xia Trading Company and other places, and was later promoted to be the platoon leader of the barge team.
During the period of 1927, Xie Ziyao set up a checkpoint in Xutian Village to collect taxes and extort money from the masses, which made him dissatisfied with the article. He hated it in his eyes, filled with indignation and resentful. So, at dawn one day, he came home with a gun in person and killed Xie and Xie on the spot. Later, he went to Luogang Xia Lan to catch Daxin's elder sister-in-law, which solved the economic difficulties in the revolutionary activities at that time.
1928, led the Red Army and Red Guards to attack the new house of Lai Gangu, the original owner of the rock, in Luofu Yixing. That winter, he attacked the militia of Danzhu Building in Lingfeng. After the bullets were captured, they led the Red Guards to attack the Luofuqiao Yundang. He led the Red Army to attack the Louvre three or four times. He often said to the soldiers, "Don't be afraid of fighting. As the saying goes, plowing is afraid of shit, and being a soldier is afraid of death. We turn over for the poor and are not afraid of beheading. It would be glorious if we died for the revolution. " Therefore, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and was promoted to company commander. When going out to war, he often rode a horse or mule, taking the lead, and a doctor, Wang Senxiong, also rode a mule with him.
Since Comrade Wen Chuan joined the revolution, the reactionary leaders in Xingning have been afraid of him and hated him. For example, Chen Yaogu led troops to Shi Cun twice, threatening to set fire to the house and take away his neighbors. As a result, people sold three kinds of crops in Wen Chuan's old house and redeemed eight people who were arrested. Wen Chuan's family has fled, and all the furniture and other things are gone, leaving only two rotten houses.
On September 26th, 1929, the Red Army in Daxin Soviet Area, led by battalion commander Guobiao Zhang, joined forces with more than 3,000 Red Guards and attacked Luogang from the left, middle and right directions. Liu, the company commander, led the Red Guards from the left-wing Lotus Village, but at that time, Chen Yaogu's troops joined forces with the enemy at the Luogang Club and arrived at Lotus Village to stop our left-wing troops from advancing. Because the enemy's weapons are numerous and sophisticated, we only have gunpowder guns and soil guns. If our army can't win, we will order a retreat. On the way forward, Comrade Liu leaned against the big pine tree with two mauser guns and fought fiercely with the enemy to cover the retreat of the Red Guards and stop the enemy's pursuit. As a result, he died heroically in the enemy's intensive gunfire, when he was only 22 years old.
