Ren Heshui county magistrate. 1945 or so, after what introduction, he secretly joined the China Democratic League. Inspired by the NLD organization and entrusted by the Kuomintang Gansu provincial government, he became the county magistrate of Gangu and the county magistrate of Xihe. 1946 In late spring and early summer, there was a drought and Tian He withered. Zhang Xiaoyou led the people to build water conservancy projects in Ganguchuan. At that time, an idol named Erlong Wang Shen was invited from Tianshui to beg for rain in Gangu. It is believed that building a canal to divert water will destroy the wind pulse and cause endless future troubles, and extort property from the masses and ask for alms. Part of the migrant workers who built the canal disbanded themselves because of the temptation. If superstition is not broken, it will be difficult to build canals to divert water and fight drought. So he shot at the idols of the two dragon kings on the spot, and made a generous statement to the migrant workers: there is no jade emperor in the sky, and there is no dragon king in the sea. Only water is the only way to live. This incident aroused the dissatisfaction of some squires in Tianshui, thinking that Zhang Xiaoyou's shooting of their second dragon king would bring disaster to Tianshui people, so he sued the Kuomintang Gansu provincial government. Guo Jiqiao, the provincial chairman, had no reason to punish Zhang Xiaoyou, but he warned that if superstition was exploited by the * * * production party, it would be bring disgrace to oneself. Zhang Xiaoyou replied, "No". 1947, when the county magistrate of Xihe was in office, he also "shot" the four dragon kings of Xihe, showing his determination to promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages and not be afraid of violence.
Zhang Xiaoyou attached great importance to education during his tenure as the county magistrate of Gangu County and Xihe County. In Xihe county, he once advocated and participated in the local people's charity sale of calligraphy and painting, set up schools, and sponsored poor young people to go to college. He is sensitive to people's feelings. In my spare time, I visited the countryside and discussed with the local people. Under the circumstances, I did something beneficial to the people. He wrote a poem:
When the wheat is ripe and the apricots are yellow, I patrol Jiulong Township in my spare time.
In the following days, willows are infinitely blue and the earth is lush and fragrant.
Talking about the past by the white tiger stone, the old man looks at the high hall on the mountain.
Half-life memories are gone, and nothing has been done.
At the beginning of 1949, the Gansu provincial government of the Kuomintang ordered Longnan counties to mobilize migrant workers to build fortifications to resist liberation. Each county complied, but the silk pattern of Xihe County, where Zhang Xiaoyou worked, did not move. In the same year, China * * * production party underground organization sent people to Xihe to contact him secretly for many times, contacting Xihe and the uprising, and he took over every time, sponsoring activities to escort safe transit. Therefore, it was monitored, searched and questioned by Kuomintang agents. He is worried about contact with the underground personnel of the * * * production party-once exposed, it will be detrimental to the cause of the China People's Liberation Army to completely liberate Gansu. Under the extremely severe situation, he is ready to abandon his official position and run away. After consulting with his eldest son who was studying in Lanzhou, he returned to Xihe, made an official tour, handed over the position of the county magistrate to his secretary, went to Pingliang to find garrison headquarters Guo Qian, learned about the political situation, studied the uprising plan, and then contacted the security forces of Longnan counties to prepare for the uprising. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/949, Luxi county government and all the security guards rebelled with Jiang Yuntai and were reorganized into the 27th regiment of the Northwest Independent Third Army of China People's Liberation Army, headed by Zhang.
195 1 year, Zhang Xiaoyou studied at Northwest People's Revolutionary Military and Political University, and worked in NLD Gansu Working Committee after graduation. 1955, worked in Qingyang Construction Department and Pingliang Forestry Bureau successively. 1957 was wrongly classified as a "rightist" and was later arrested and imprisoned as a "historical counter-revolutionary". 196 1 died in prison on May 8th. 198 1 year 65438+1October 6, Qingyang Intermediate People's Court officially pronounced Zhang Xiaoyou's "Li Fan" case as a wrong case and rehabilitated it.
Zhang Xiaoyou is a well-known calligraphy artist with extensive knowledge and hobbies. On the occasion of leisure, I stick to the tube, especially printing, and I am good at painting tigers. Selected Calligraphy of Zhang Xiaoyou has been published in the world. In the 1940s, Mr. Yu Youren, a generation of calligraphers, once commented: "There are so many calligraphers in China today that only Zhang (Xiaoyou) in Qingyang is one."
