How did Liao die?

The historical truth of Liao's assassination

Liao adhered to the three major policies, closely cooperated with domestic production, supported the revolutionary movement of workers and peasants, and promoted the development of China's national revolution. But what he did was undoubtedly extremely unacceptable to the Kuomintang Rightists, feudal warlords and imperialists. Therefore, the reactionary forces at home and abroad regard Liao as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and will surely die. Shortly after Sun Yat-sen's death, Xie Zhi, Lin Sen, Zou Lu and others formed the so-called "Xishan Conference School", betraying Sun Yat-sen's three major policies and undermining the unity of the national revolutionary leadership. From July 1925, Kuomintang Rightists Zou Lu, Wu Chaoshu and others began to focus on attacking Liao, spreading all kinds of rumors in an attempt to bring down Liao and deny the three major policies. In the face of menacing right-wing opponents, Liao waged an uncompromising struggle with them. To Liao's particular disgust, some Kuomintang Rightists, old party member, even colluded with the reactionary warlords in the north to achieve the goal of opposing * * *. In May, Liao published an article entitled "Revolutionaries and Counter-revolutionaries", which sharply criticized the old Rightists of the Kuomintang. He said: "Now all the counter-revolutionaries in our party call themselves the revolutionary old party and put on the old signs of revolution, thinking that after being a revolutionary party, they will collude with bureaucrats, warlords and imperialists in any case and try their best to suppress the overwhelming majority of workers in our country. They can also be called revolutionary parties, thinking that old signs of revolution can. I don't know that revolutionaries are not a hollow reputation. No matter what achievements he has made in the past, he is not a revolutionary if he does not continue the revolution. On the contrary, as soon as there is a counter-revolutionary act, it will immediately become a counter-revolutionary. " This article greatly stimulated the old Rightists, such as Zou Lu,, Lin Zhimin and Zhu. They hate Liao, and some of them plan to get rid of Liao by despicable assassination.

In August, there was a storm all over the city, and the news that the Kuomintang Rightists wanted to kill Liao was circulated. At that time, the clouds were overcast and the pressure was increasing. At that time, there was a right-wing club "Nanti Nap" in Nanti, Guangzhou, where Zhu and other right-wingers often plotted to kill Liao. They are familiar with Soviet advisers such as Bao Luoting, Galen, Wang Jingwei and Liao. Every day, they get together at Bao Mansion on Baizi Road in Dongshan. At first, Zhu and others wanted to kill all these leaders with bombs, machine guns and snipers. Wu Tiecheng, the police chief, was frightened by the news and stopped the bloodshed before they did it. Faced with this situation, Liao is fearless and continues to make unremitting efforts. When he heard that the enemy was going to shoot him with a machine, he laughed it off and joked, "Assassination with a pistol bomb is something you can see, but if you use a machine gun, it will be very new." He Xiangning advised him to put two more guards on guard. He replied disapprovingly, "if we add more guards, we must catch the assassins, but we can't stop them from committing crimes." I go to trade unions, peasant associations, student unions and other organizations for meetings or speeches every day, and I have to go to several places all day long. If they want to murder me, they can pretend to be workers, farmers or students and mix with the masses. I used my conscience to do things for the people all my life and asked myself if I was sorry for the party and the country. In short, life and death are up to him, and I must not relax in the revolution. " At a meeting of the National Government on August 18, 2008, Wang Jingwei, who was sitting next to Liao, wrote him a note telling him that someone was going to be bad for him. He immediately said: "It is a revolutionary's long-cherished wish to sacrifice for the party and the country. Why worry! " On August 19, another person reported him, and there was a definite news. Liao said generously: "In this difficult autumn of the party and the country, personal life and death have long been put aside, and what I can't forget all day is the strike movement and the unified Guangdong movement!" On this day, he worked late into the night to raise money for the Whampoa Military Academy and came home very late. The next morning, Liao and his wife He Xiangning took a bus to the Central Organization Department for a meeting. They met Chen Qiulin on the road and went by car together. They don't want to be killed in front of the heavily guarded party department. This scene of tragedy appeared in Guangzhou in August, and the sky was low.

After the Liao case happened, the National Government immediately set up the "Liao Case Inspection Committee" to trace the mastermind and murderer behind the assassination. It was found that the assassination was committed by imperialism and the Kuomintang Rightist clique. The main members are Zou Lu, Lin Zhimian, Zhu, and others. It was Hu's cousin and his friends Zhu, Liang Hongkai and others who came forward to buy off the murderer. After killing Liao, one of the murderers found Zhu and told him about it. Zhu gave it to 200 yuan and let him leave Guangzhou. After the case was found out, the national government sent troops to search the home of Hu brothers, arrested Hu Qingrui and Lin Zhiming, and removed Liang Hongkai from his position as commander of the First Army. And Hu was also suspected of leaving Guangzhou, which dealt a heavy blow to the right forces of the Kuomintang.

On September 1 day, Liao's funeral was attended by more than 200,000 people including teachers, students, workers, farmers and citizens of Guangzhou Huangpu Military Academy. The size of the team, the breadth of classes, the seriousness of the complex and the tragic atmosphere are unprecedented in Guangzhou. His body was temporarily buried next to the tomb of Zhu Zhixin, a good friend of Fumagang. 1 September 9351,buried at the side of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Zijinshan, Nanjing. Liao Zhongkai, in his prime of life, made immortal contributions to the democratic revolution in China, and engraved his brilliant achievements with his own blood on the monument of mankind known as heroic history.
