1926 In the spring, An Youshi attended the sixth workshop of Guangzhou Peasant Movement, and listened to the speeches of famous producers such as, Yun, and Peng Pai, which improved his political theory and understanding of the development of the domestic revolutionary situation. According to the arrangement of the Agricultural College, An Youshi shaved his head, wore sandals, received militarization training, and seriously participated in the practice of agricultural transportation in Haifeng rural areas. It improved the class consciousness, tempered the revolutionary will and enriched the struggle knowledge of the agricultural movement. Then, introduced by his classmate Hang Guoren, he joined the China * * * Production Party.
In September of the same year, An Youshi ended his study and life in the Agricultural College and boarded a ship bound for Shanghai with his companions. The ship was sailing on the blue sea, and with the rolling of the waves, he was filled with emotion and began to think deeply, depicting the blueprint for returning to his hometown for agricultural transportation. After arriving in Shanghai, the Kuomintang Jiangsu Provincial Party Department appointed him as the special commissioner of the provincial peasant movement, in charge of the agricultural movement in Wuxi. Despite the tiring journey, he returned to his hometown of Wuxi.
Wuxi is a city with developed national industry and commerce in modern times, and it is also a land of plenty. However, due to years of infighting among feudal warlords and cruel exploitation by landlords and gentry, the vast number of poor farmers fell into dire straits. An You's poems start from his hometown, the northeast countryside. Because of the high land concentration rate here, the proportion of tenant farmers and poor farmers is large; Moreover, it is located in the marginal zone, and the control of the authorities is weak; I also have many personal social relationships, which is convenient for me to stand on. After making up his mind, he began the arduous investigation and liaison work.
In the countryside, it is inevitable that a young man will be noticed for running around all day and doing farm work non-stop. In order to divert the attention of the reactionary forces, An Youshi released news that he was anxious to raise money for the wedding. Therefore, in the form of visiting relatives and friends, he went deep into the poor peasants and farm labourers, publicized against the exploitation of feudal warlords and landlords, mobilized the masses and established farmers' associations. Jiangnan is a paddy field network area, with rivers and lakes criss-crossing. The distance between villages is not far, but walking around the river is one or two times farther. He wears sandals and never stops. He crossed the local Gushan, Houshan and Doushan and visited one house after another. In the evening, I carried lanterns along the field path and had a heart-to-heart talk with poor farm workers in the hut. Soon, more than 20,000 farmers joined the association, and farmers' associations were established in Anzhen, Yanjiaqiao, Donghu Tang, Zhaimen and Zhangjingqiao.
1927 February, Wuxi prefectural Committee was established, and An Youshi was appointed as a member of the prefectural Committee and minister of agriculture. On March 4 of the same year, a meeting of Wuxi farmers' representatives was held in Anzhen, and the Wuxi County Farmers' Association was announced. An Youshi was elected chairman, and Hangzhou was appointed organization minister. This marks that the peasant movement in Wuxi has entered a new stage.
On 2 1 day, the red flags in urban and rural areas of Wuxi were flying, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the scene was jubilant. An Youshi led the members of the peasant association to the railway station and warmly welcomed the Northern Expeditionary Army to Wuxi and the unprecedented development of the workers and peasants movement. Since then, Wuxi County Farmers' Association has moved into Hengshantang, Baer Lane, and turned into a public activity. From then on, An Youshi mobilized farmers in Wuxi four townships to oppose local tyrants and evil gentry with greater political enthusiasm, which was huge and shocked urban and rural areas. Some farmers' associations confiscated the grain stored by the bully landlords, distributed it to the poor and hired farmers to solve the food difficulty in the "third famine". Some peasant associations confiscated the tools symbolizing the oppression of peasants by landlords for thousands of years-big buckets, big hooves and big weights, and sent the largest ones to the county peasant associations for display and piled them around Baer Lane, where the peasant associations are located. Landlords and rich people who fled the revolutionary situation in the city were always in fear and worried. Other peasant associations arrested local tyrants and evil gentry, organized public trial meetings and paraded the streets to show the public, among which Jiangxi Bridge, Luoshe and Shitangwan had the largest scale and influence.
On the 25th, more than 2,000 farmers from Jiangxi Bridge area gathered in Yangyizhuang to hold a mass meeting, shouting slogans such as "Down with local tyrants and evil gentry" and "Down with Yang", and publicly tried the bully landlord Yang. After the meeting, the angry crowd took Yang wearing a hat to the city and demanded punishment from the county government. On the 30th, more than 3,000 farmers around Luoshe and Shitang Bay gathered in the square in front of Kaili Temple in Luoshe to hold a mass meeting. After the meeting, farmers went to Shitangwan to take over Wanan CCBA, burning clothes, deeds and account books. At the landlord's house in Sun Shi. On the morning of April 1, more than 5,000 farmers gathered in the square in front of Kaili Temple again to hold a meeting to thoroughly liquidate the crimes of Sun Shi landlords. The peasant masses held high slogans such as "Down with local tyrants and evil gentry", "Down with Sun" and "Down with Sun Pingdong", marched into the city along the ancient canal to petition, and submitted petitions to the county magistrate, demanding that the four tyrants be punished. This massive and numerous anti-feudal struggle shocked the landlords and gentry, fully demonstrated the great power of poor peasant organizations, and the Wuxi peasant movement entered a climax.
Just as the movement of workers and peasants was developing in depth, on the night of June, 5438+04, the Kuomintang Rightists and reactionary military police suddenly attacked the Wuxi Federation of Trade Unions. Immediately, Wuxi County Farmers Association was also destroyed, and white terror enveloped urban and rural areas. On June 5438+05, An Youshi led the county peasant association cadres back to Anzhen. That evening, he immediately called an emergency meeting of the peasant association cadres. He said firmly at the meeting: "Chiang Kai-shek openly betrayed the revolution and took refuge in imperialism, and his hands were covered with the blood of revolutionaries. But revolutionary forces can't be killed. We can assert that it is not the * * * production party that perishes, but the reactionaries. Therefore, we should continue to struggle with confidence and lay a solid foundation for future victory. " With his efforts, the Northeast Rural Farmers' Association has been developed. For a long time, most of the rural political power was in the hands of poor peasants and farm labourers, and a number of cadres were also reserved, which accumulated strength for the upcoming peasant autumn harvest riots that shocked the north and south of the river.
At the beginning of May, An Youshi went to Shanghai with Hangzhou people, reported Wuxi to jiangsu provincial party committee and listened to the instructions of the provincial party committee. Later, due to the needs of revolutionary work, An Youshi stayed in Shanghai and served as the secretary of the Farmers Department of the Provincial Party Committee, continuing to engage in agricultural transportation. On June 26th, due to the traitor's informer, the provincial party committee was destroyed by the Kuomintang authorities, and he was arrested together with Chen Yannian, secretary of the provincial party committee and other comrades. In prison, the reactionary authorities tortured him and forced him to hand over party secrets. However, he is firm and indomitable. At the beginning of July, An Youshi, who was only 22 years old, died in LAM Raymond Bridge.
