During the May 4th Movement, inspired by fellow countryman and early party member Zhuo Kaize, Zhuo Lanfang began to accept Marxism. 1925, Zhuo Lanfang joined China * * * Production Party.
In March, 1925, * * * Youth League Ningbo Committee established the publication Firefly. Zhuo Lanfang published articles such as "May Day and the Oppressed People in China" and "Why are you afraid of Soviet Russia alone" in this magazine, attacking imperialism and feudal bureaucrats with sharp brushstrokes and propagating Marxism-Leninism.
After the May 30th Massacre, Zhuo Lanfang took a group of young party member to Hefeng Cotton Mill, Zheng Da Match Factory, Meiqiu Knitting Factory, Railway, Post Office and other units to organize trade unions, establish party organizations and mobilize workers to carry out strike struggle.
In October, appointed by Ningbo prefectural committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhuo Lanfang returned to his hometown of Fenghua to launch the peasant movement. Under the cover of the principal of Songxi Primary School, he developed primary school teachers and peasant activists to join the Party, and established party branches in Song 'ao, Qiucun, Wharf and Wujiabao. It has cultivated the backbone of developing the peasant movement.
In the autumn and winter of this year, Feng District Committee was established, and Zhuo Lanfang was appointed as the secretary of the district Committee. The peasant association was established and its members grew to more than 20,000. Organized farmers' associations to attack Tan Yan Bureau and customs in Shoukaku, seized more than rifles and spears 10, and established farmers' armed forces. With the development of the struggle situation, Zhuo Lanfang established Fenghua County Committee of China on behalf of the prefectural party committee. Under the unified leadership of the county party Committee, all party branches and peasant associations mobilized the masses to fight local tyrants and get rid of superstitions, and the peasant movement developed more vigorously.
1February, 927, Zhuo Lanfang went to Cixi and Yuyao to guide the peasant movement. Together with Zhu Qingdan, secretary of the prefectural Party Committee's agricultural transportation, he used the method of complaining in Anton Salt Field to inspire the salt people's consciousness, cultivate the backbone, and set about organizing the grassroots salt people's association. On the one hand, he sent Fei Dezhao to lead farmers to attack Hushan and Yuyao City, and confiscated guns from the police station; On the one hand, the salt people arrested and publicly tried the evil gentry Gao Miantai, and held the inaugural meeting of Yuyao Salt People's Association. The masses have been tempered in the struggle, and the number of members of Anton Salt Field and Salt Association, which has 65,438+10,000 people, has grown to more than 20,000.
While the mass movement of workers and peasants in Ningbo was in full swing, Wang Jun, the defense commander of Nanjing, Taiwan Province and Wenzhou, took the lead in attacking Ningbo in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's secret order. The Ningbo Federation of Trade Unions was destroyed, and Wang Kun, Yang Meishan and other party member and revolutionary intellectuals were arrested and killed.
A few days later, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, and the * * * producers and the revolutionary masses became rivers of blood. ...
At this critical moment, Zhuo Lanfang rushed back to Fenghua and informed party member and the backbone of the peasant association to do a good job of concealment. After the "April 12th", Zhuo Lanfang participated in the "Fifth Congress" of the Party held in Wuhan. After returning to Zhejiang, the Hangzhou prefectural party committee was expanded to the Zhejiang provincial party committee, and Zhuo Lanfang was elected as a member of the provincial party committee and minister of agriculture. He visited Zhuji and Fuyang many times to restore and develop the Party organization.
On September 27th, the Central Committee sent Wang Ruofei to Hangzhou to reorganize the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, and elected Zhang Qiu as the Party Secretary, and Zhuo Lanfang as the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Agriculture. Unfortunately, Zhang stayed in Hangzhou for only three days and was arrested by the enemy on the West Lake.
Then, the Central Committee sent Xia to Hangzhou to host a meeting of Zhejiang Provincial Committee to implement the spirit of the Party's "August 7th" meeting.
On October 23rd, 65438/KLOC-0, the letter from the Central Committee to Zhejiang pointed out: "The Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee should immediately prepare for an extensive peasant uprising ..."
According to the spirit of the letter from the Central Committee, the provincial party committee formulated the "East Zhejiang riot prevention plan" from Hangzhou Bay to Wenzhou. It is planned to seize the important political power in eastern Zhejiang and carry out the agrarian revolution in eastern Zhejiang.
As the Minister of Farmers' Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Commander-in-Chief of Fenghua Riot, Zhuo Lanfang returned to his hometown and first restored and developed the party organizations in Song 'ao and Hutoudu. "If there is a riot, where will the guns come from and where will the funds come from?" Zhuo Lanfang took the lead in selling his property, and mobilized other party member * * * to raise funds for riots, buy guns and ammunition, collect folk guns and broadswords, and re-establish peasant armed forces.
In the process of insurrection planning,165438+On June 6th, Shen Leshan, Minister of the Military Department of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Vocational Committee, was arrested in Hangzhou for engaging in red terror and crackdown activities. A few days later, Wang Jiamo, Minister of Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, went to East and South Zhejiang to launch riots and was arrested in Wenzhou.
Then, a large number of party member were wanted and arrested. Pan Xiaomei, the terror leader of Cixi Tang Hong, and Ye Tiandi, the terror leader of Shangyu, were arrested successively. ...
In the case of serious damage to the organs of the provincial party Committee, the provincial party Committee still insisted on continuing armed riots and decided to focus on Fenghua, Sanbei and western Zhejiang. Fenghua District Committee was established to administer Yinfeng area. Sha was appointed secretary of the district party committee, and Zhuo Lanfang was appointed special commissioner of the provincial party committee to direct the riot. Zhuo Lanfang organized a peasant army of more than 200 people. Unexpectedly, the news of the riots leaked, the leaders of the riots were arrested one after another, and the riots were frustrated again.
After the failure of Fenghua Uprising,1March, 928, Zhuo Lanfang went to Shanghai to attend the enlarged meeting of Zhejiang Provincial Committee. After the enlarged meeting, the provincial party committee moved back to Hangzhou from Ningbo. In May, Xia went to Moscow to attend the Party's "Sixth National Congress" and resigned as Party Secretary. The central government decided to appoint Zhuo Lanfang as secretary of the provincial party committee.
1929, the central government decided to temporarily cancel the organization of Zhejiang Provincial Committee, and Zhuo Lanfang was appointed as the central inspector. He visited Huzhou, Changxing, Deqing, Shaoxing, Fuyang, Hangzhou and other places to investigate and understand the situation, rectify and restore the party's grassroots organizations, correct the "Left" reckless mood, and make new progress in the party's work.
In the spring of this year, according to the spirit of the Central Committee, Zhuo Lanfang came to Zhuji with the No.70 notice from the Central Committee, under the pseudonym of Li Pinsan, and launched a peasant riot.
Under the leadership of Zhuo Lanfang, Zhuji peasant army, wearing red cloth, carrying soil guns and soil cannons, and holding dragon sword giant knives, bravely attacked several big towns such as Qiao Feng, Paitou and Caota. The peasant army in the county has expanded to more than 3,000 people, and the number of people distributing grain has reached more than 654.38+10,000. However, the Kuomintang provincial defense forces stationed in Zhuji and the provincial defense forces transferred from Hangzhou jointly "encirclement and suppression". After five or six days of bloody fighting, the peasant army finally failed because of the disparity between the enemy and ourselves and the lack of operational experience.
Although Zhuo Lanfang's organization of peasant riots was frustrated again and again, he followed the instructions of the central authorities and persevered in organizing riots in western Zhejiang.
After the failure of the riots in western Zhejiang, the white terror in the whole province became more serious. Inside and outside Hang Cheng, there are countless military police, arresting riot leaders and revolutionary masses everywhere.
However, the Party Central Committee at this time ignored such harsh reality. Li presided over the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting in Shanghai and decided to hold the Wuhan riots, the Nanjing riots and the Shanghai General Union strike. He also ordered Hangzhou and other places to cooperate with the action, set up the North Zhejiang Action Committee in Hangzhou, and appointed Zhuo Lanfang as the secretary of the Committee to govern Hangjiahu and the counties in western Zhejiang.
When Zhuo Lanfang was planning a new riot plan, on September 8, he went to Shipailou, Hangzhou to hold a secret meeting. As the whereabouts were detected by the enemy, the Kuomintang authorities sent a large number of military police to surround Zhuo Lanfang's residence.
After the secret meeting, Zhuo Lanfang came back. Walking near Meihua North Banel Lane, I suddenly remembered that there was a house to rent nearby, and the underground party authorities planned to set up a liaison station there, so they decided to drop by and see the house. As soon as he entered Banel Lane, the siren sounded and the police stopped him at both ends of the lane. Zhuo Lanfang was unfortunately arrested. After being arrested, Zhuo Lanfang was detained in the cage of Chaimu Township Detention Center 12. Zhuo Lanfang, secretary of the provincial party committee, was exposed because of the mutiny of the head of the Hangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League. The enemy put shackles and handcuffs on him and locked the cage door.
Zhuo Lanfang is calm and fearless. He said to his friend, "I'm Zhuo Lanfang from Fenghua, Ningbo, party member. The Kuomintang offered a reward of $ 1000 to find me ... "
Zhuo Lanfang, who was locked in a cage, continued to struggle. He explained the situation to his friends that the revolution will surely win and the end of the reactionaries will surely come; He exposed the intrigues of Kuomintang reactionaries and studied ways to deal with enemy torture; He took the lead in singing "The Internationale" to inspire everyone's revolutionary fighting spirit; He encouraged his hard-working friends to recognize the ferocious features of the Kuomintang reactionaries, be strong, follow the * * * production party, and strive to get rid of their shackles and liberate all working people. Zhuo Lanfang's fearless revolutionary spirit, strong will, rich knowledge and ability to correctly analyze problems have won everyone's respect.
Soon, the Kuomintang authorities escorted Zhuo Lanfang from Chaimuxiang Detention Center to the Army Prison.
In the military prison, at first, the reactionary Kuomintang authorities specially prepared dining tables and tea for Zhuo Lanfang in an attempt to collect and sell him. A judge said to Zhuo Lanfang, "Mr. Zhuo, you are a celebrity. As long as you nod your head and reflect, we will not harm you, but will greatly reuse you. "
In the face of the temptation of senior enemy officials, Zhuo Lanfang firmly said, "Don't talk nonsense, I won't tell you anything."
When the enemy saw that the lure failed, he imposed various cruel punishments on Zhuo Lanfang and asked him to name the leaders of the provincial party committee and the * * * production party all over the country.
Zhuo Lanfang would rather die than surrender and strictly abide by the party's secrets. He said firmly, "I am party member, and there are thousands of party member in Qian Qian." . If you want something from me, you can't! "
Neither the enemy nor we can get useful information from the person in charge of Zhejiang Provincial Committee.
19301On October 5th, Zhuo Lanfang was tied to the execution ground in the dark night. He righteously, death, singing "Internationale" along the way, shouting "Long live the China * * * production party", showing the noble quality of a * * * production party's perseverance, loyalty to the party and dedication to the cause of * * *. He died at the age of 30.
