Understand a party history story: Xia Minghan sacrificed his life for the country
Yao Nan, Class 6 (3)
Xia Minghan is from Hengyang, Hunan. He joined the Communist Party of China and did a lot for the party's cause. Unfortunately, he was arrested in Hankou on February 7, 1928.
Xia Minghan was detained in prison. The enemy used various means to get Xia Minghan to reveal the underground organization of the Communist Party of China, but got nothing. Another interrogation began. Xia Minghan walked in calmly, holding his head high and glaring angrily at the evil presiding judge.
The presiding judge asked: "What is your surname?"
Xia Minghan replied: "Your surname is Dong."
"Your surname is clearly Xia, why did you say your surname is Dong? ! It’s just nonsense!”
“I speak according to the logic of the Kuomintang. Your logic confuses right and wrong. You call murder a mercy and I also use it. Your logic is to say that the surname "Xia" is "Dong". This is called fighting fire with fire."
The presiding judge asked a few more questions, but couldn't find anything. The reactionaries did not find even half a straw in Xia Minghan and lost hope. They had to resort to the last resort and announced "execution on the spot".
On February 9, the third day after Xia Minghan was arrested, the reactionaries took Xia Minghan to the execution ground. Xia Minghan was calm and composed, repeatedly chanting revolutionary slogans, and then sang "The Internationale". The surrounding people were moved to tears; the reactionaries were frightened by this awe-inspiring righteousness.
The execution time is coming soon. The reactionaries asked Xia Minghan: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Xia Minghan said: "I want to write out what I said, bring me paper and pen!"
The reactionaries also hoped that Xia Minghan could finally provide some useful information, so they immediately gave him a pen and a piece of paper.
Xia Minghan took it and wrote an upright and awe-inspiring martyrdom poem: It doesn't matter if you behead, as long as the principle is true. Kill Xia Minghan, and there will be successors.
After I finished writing, I read it loudly and threw the pen on the ground.
Xia Minghan died generously. He used his own blood and life to compose a heroic revolutionary song.
