"The head can be broken, the limbs can be broken, and the revolutionary spirit cannot be extinguished." This is an immortal poem written by party member Zhou Wenyong in prison after his arrest, which inspires countless China people to struggle for their ideals and beliefs all their lives.
After the April 12th counter-revolutionary coup, Guangdong Provincial Committee decided to hold an armed uprising in Guangzhou according to the spirit of the August 7th meeting of the Party, and set up a Revolutionary Military Commission, with Zhou Wenyong as a member of the Revolutionary Military Commission and commander-in-chief of the Workers' Red Guards. Guangdong Province appointed Chen Tiejun to Zhou Wenyong as an assistant to help Zhou Wenyong prepare for the Guangzhou Uprising. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, the two pretended to be husband and wife to carry out revolutionary activities.
1927 65438+February 1 1 Guangzhou Uprising broke out, and the Red Guards led by Zhou Wenyong cooperated with the training regiment to capture the Kuomintang Guangzhou Public Security Bureau. On the same day, the Guangzhou Soviet government was announced, and Zhou Wenyong was elected as a member of the People's Labor Committee of the Soviet government. Due to the crazy suppression of Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, the uprising finally failed, and Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun moved to Hongkong.
In order to rebuild the party organization in Guangzhou, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun returned to Guangzhou from Hongkong on 1928 and 1 twice respectively, pretending to be husband and wife again to rebuild the underground party organization for secret revolutionary struggle.
1928 65438+1October 27th, because the traitor tipped them off, they were unfortunately arrested. In prison, they were tortured, but they remained firm. The enemy forced Zhou Wenyong to write a "confession", and Zhou Wenyong wrote passionately on the prison wall that "the head can be broken, the limbs can be folded, and the revolutionary spirit cannot be destroyed. The famous sentence "The head of a strong man falls for the party, and the brave man falls for the group" shows the lofty spirit of * * * party member's heroic dedication to the revolution.
Unable to do anything, the enemy decided to publicly execute "husband and wife". At this time, Zhou Wenyong was only 23 years old and Chen Tiejun was 24 years old. During the revolutionary struggle, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun fell in love, but for the revolutionary cause, they kept their love in their hearts. At the last moment of their lives, they made the love buried in their hearts public.
On February 6, they were taken to Honghuagang, Guangzhou. On the execution ground, Chen Tiejun said affectionately to Zhou Wenyong, "Now I announce to you that when we dedicate our youth and life to the Party, we will hold a wedding here. Let the reactionary artillery fire be a tribute to our marriage. Compatriots and comrades, farewell! I hope you fight bravely, and capitalism will win. The future belongs to us. "
Gunfire sounded, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun fell, but the sublimity and romance of revolutionaries will go down in history forever. The heroic spirit is gone, but the loyal soul lives on forever. The time sequence is updated, long and precious. What can comfort them is that the ideal they believe in is being realized, the cause they started is continuing, and the history they wrote is being passed down. A vibrant China and a hopeful China stand tall in the east of the world.
