My hometown, Lujing Township, is full of outstanding people and talented people. Able at literature and martial arts, he is one of the famous cultural villages in Haifeng County. It has a history of more than 700 years since the ancestor Qinggang Gong settled in Lujing Township, Haifeng from Putian County, Fujian. However, the smoke of war filled the air in this beautiful land, and heroic deeds were also shown one after another.

? The hometown is the hometown of Peng Pai’s sister-in-law Lu Yuyun and his wife Cai Suping, who were the pioneers of China’s peasant revolutionary movement and founder of the famous Hailufeng Soviet regime. In the early days of the peasant movement, Peng Pai included Lujing Township in the practice of revolution. An ideal forward position. In 1923, the Haifeng General Farmers' Association was established. Finally, under the leadership of Peng Pai and his wife Cai Suping, a vigorous peasant movement ignited a flame in the land of Lujing Township.

Lu Huanbiao, who was the principal of Haifeng Middle School at the time, returned to his hometown to take up important responsibilities. He elected Lu Peiqi as the president of the farmers' association. At that time, Lu Peiqi (also known as Lu Shen), who was in his thirties, energetic and steady, had already become a member of the Communist Party of China and participated in the farmers' association. The courageous and resourceful Lu Peiqi quickly assumed the position of president of the Xinshan Village Farmers' Association in Lujing Township. He used the public rental society, also known as "Yiping Society", which was a place where public rent and food were paid to the village. This is not surprising. Paying attention to its characteristics, revolutionary activities were secretly carried out here and used as the site of the farmers' association. In the later development, "Yipingshe" was also used as a warehouse for storing guns and ammunition. Lu Peiqi summoned more than ten people with lofty ideals from Lujing Township, including Lu Huanbiao, Lu Zuyi, and Lu Mingzhen, to train day and night on the spacious old town in front of his home. At the same time, he also received help from Wan Weixin, an executive member of the county farmers' association and a famous tiger-shaped boxing master, which led the farmers' association to forge a martial spirit and take the farmers' association to a higher level.

Faced with the crackdown and suppression by the Kuomintang reactionaries, Lu Peiqi suffered repeated setbacks, but his fighting spirit was not defeated. Just when Lu Peiqi's team was expanding day by day, the lack of organizational funds and weapons, and the difficulty in equipping the farmers' association with guns, ammunition, weapons and other issues became a pressing concern and they were unable to do anything. At that time, Lu Zuyi, who was in his prime, combining knowledge and ability, came to him. Because Lu Zuyi had high ideological consciousness and worked hard, the revolutionary party organization entrusted him with the important task of doing propaganda work at the Haifeng County Party Headquarters and concurrently serving as the executive committee member of the Party Headquarters in a certain district of the county.

Lu Zuyi explained his intention to Lu Peiqi straight to the point. It turned out that Lu Zuyi came for the idle cannons and guns in the village literature hall, and it was also because the peasant army he led lacked funds. Because they had an idea, the two hit it off.

Fortunately, the villagers in Lujing Township have revolutionary beliefs and high ideological consciousness, and they all support the peasant association. When Lu Peiqi and Lu Zuyi raised the issue of borrowing guns and cannons in front of the person in charge of the Literature Hall, they immediately won the support of the villagers. They responded, and the person in charge of the literature hall also agreed, which made Lu Peiqi and Lu Zuyi ecstatic.

With capital, under the guidance of Lv Peiqi, Lv Huanbiao, Lv Zuyi, Lv Mingzhen, etc., the farmers' association expanded rapidly, with more than 500 members. It also established a village peasant self-defense army squadron with more than 50 standing members. Becoming one of the staunch and powerful teams in the Haifeng Farmers' Association, this vibrant revolutionary team appeared in front of the world.

At the same time, the talented Lu Zuyi was doing propaganda work in major newspapers and magazines in Haifeng. He continued to publish articles and gave speeches at the grassroots level, widely publicizing the revolutionary flame of the peasant movement. Under his influence, a group of scholars who had previously kept to themselves became awakened in the whirlpool of the war. Although they were young, they all joined the revolution and began to seek the truth to save the country and save the country.

With the fierce brutality of the Kuomintang reactionaries, Lu Peiqi and others led the Peasant Red Guards to participate in many battles such as the attack on the county seat and the Hailufeng armed uprising. During this period, more than 10 Peasant Red Guards also died. In 1927, the Hailufeng armed uprising failed, and the Lujing Township Peasant Red Guards retreated to Xinshan Village.

On a dark and windy night, a chirping sound came from the reeds outside the village, and the sound got closer and closer. Someone in the peasant army shouted "No!" It turned out that they had been tipped off by a spy, and the reactionary armed soldiers launched a massive attack and raided Xinshan Village. The peasant army team led by Lu Peiqi and Lu Zuyi had no time to move, and 12 people were arrested on the spot. They were later brutally killed at the old carriage in Haicheng. After more than 30 team members broke through the siege, they were closely chased by the reactionary armed soldiers. The peasant army who retreated while fighting finally ran out of ammunition and was surrounded at Dungji Mountain in Huangqiang Town. They fought bravely with their own lives. All sacrificed heroically to defend the true meaning of the revolution.

Although this battle suffered a heavy defeat, the revolutionary will of the people with lofty ideals in Lujing Township was not dampened. Later, a group of young people such as Lu Huanliang, Lu Guoliang, Lu Ming, Lu Zhiming, and Lu Tanming enthusiastically joined. During the revolutionary struggle, they continued to fight for the revolutionary cause until the end of the war. They wrote a magnificent chapter of national salvation with their own flesh and blood. Lujing Township has produced numerous talents who continue to contribute to the construction of the motherland.

Today, in this red land, the smoke of war has long since dissipated, and what appears before our eyes are green mountains and green waters, and a comfortable and well-off life.

But people can see that the village’s long red cultural street, the old site of the Peasant Association, the old site of the Peasant Army Red Guard Headquarters, etc. are all engraved with heavy red memories. The village alone has 18 revolutionary martyrs registered by the civil affairs department. The former residence of the 18 martyrs, including a family of seven martyrs and a family of three martyrs, is widely praised for its heroic deeds.
