At around 9 a.m. on August 20, 1925, on the wide Yangcheng Avenue, a car was driving towards the Kuomintang Central Party Headquarters located in the Huizhou Hall. Sitting in the car were Liao Zhongkai, member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee, Minister of Workers, Party Representative of Huangpu Military Academy and Minister of Finance of the Guangzhou National Government, and He Xiangning, Minister of Women of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. This revolutionary couple went to the Central Party Headquarters to attend the Central Executive Meeting. On the way, he met Chen Qiulin, a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang whose car broke down. Chen was invited to drive to the Huizhou Guild Hall with Liao Zhongkai and his wife. At 9:50, the car drove to the gate of the Central Party Headquarters. Liao Zhongkai, Chen Qiulin, He Xiangning and the guards got out of the car one after another and walked towards the gate. He Xiangning saw a female comrade, stopped and said to the person: "I will go to the Women's Department in twenty minutes. I have something to discuss with you, please wait for me." At this time, Liao Zhongkai, who was walking in the front, had already boarded the After reaching the third step, suddenly, seven or eight thugs rushed out from behind the stone pillars under the arcade in front of the Central Party Headquarters, raised their guns and fired fiercely at Liao Zhongkai and others. Liao Zhongkai was first shot four times and fell on the steps. Chen Qiulin and a guard were also shot and fell in a pool of blood. He Xiangning, who was falling behind, was shocked and realized that someone was assassinating her. She rushed over and leaned over to protect Liao Zhongkai. The moment she lowered her head, several bullets flew past her head. He Xiangning cried out sadly: "Zhong Kai!" At the same time, she shouted loudly: "Arrest them quickly!" The guards fired back at this time, wounding and capturing one of the murderers alive, while the other assassins fled one after another. Usually, there are police standing guard at the gate of the Central Party Headquarters, but today there was no guard post. Suddenly, the murderers escaped without a trace. The ground around Liao Zhongkai was red. The blood on his body was still dripping down his clothes little by little. He could no longer speak. He Xiangning and the guards hurriedly helped Liao Zhongkai into the car and drove towards Guangdong University School of Medicine. In the speeding car, Liao Zhongkai raised his eyelids for the last time and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his head tilted and he stopped breathing forever. Chen Qiulin also died of his injuries and died in the hospital a few days later. Liao Zhongkai was assassinated in front of the Kuomintang Central Party Department, causing great shock to all walks of life in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou National Government immediately established the "Liao Case Inspection Committee" to investigate and deal with the case. From the pistol used by the captured murderer Chen Shun and his confession, it was found that the assassination of Liao Zhongkai was arranged by Zhu Zhuowen, the leader of the right wing of the Kuomintang. Why did Zhu Zhuowen want to assassinate Liao Zhongkai? The reason lies in the extreme hatred of the Kuomintang right wing towards Liao Zhongkai. Liao Zhongkai was born on April 23, 1877, in a wealthy overseas Chinese family in San Francisco, USA. He returned to his motherland in 1893 when he was 16 years old. Ten years later, Liao Zhongkai and his wife He Xiangning met a large number of revolutionary patriots while studying in Japan, and later became the founders of the Tongmenghui. After the Wuchang Uprising in October 1911, Liao Zhongkai served as the General Counselor of the Guangdong Military Government. After the failure of the "Second Revolution", he followed Sun Yat-sen to Japan and served as Deputy Minister of Finance of the Chinese Revolutionary Party. Since then, he has followed Sun Yat-sen in revolutionary activities and made great contributions. . After Sun Yat-sen's death in March 1925, right-wing forces became rampant, but Liao Zhongkai still enthusiastically supported the provincial and Hong Kong general strikes and the Guangdong peasant movement, arousing the hatred of the right-wing faction within the party. The rightists openly threatened to "bleed" Liao Zhongkai, but he did not give in. He Xiangning advised him: "Since someone is plotting to assassinate you, you should add two more guards." Liao Zhongkai said frankly: "In my life, I have done things for others, and I have done things based on my conscience. I have never done anything wrong to the country and the people... Life or death is up to him. I can never let go of the revolution."
