The fire that starts from the prairie fire starts from the glimmer of light. At the end of the bustling streets and alleys in Dongyang, a white granite four-pillar Tongtian plaza stands quietly, with six big characters carved on the archway: Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery.
Hidden behind the monument is a deep land with green pine and cypresses and green grass, and gray-white tombstones have already seen traces of being polished by time in the long river of history, as if they are talking about the revolutionary storm of the past.
Dongyang Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery, where Zhao Jimeng was buried
After the “April 12” counter-revolutionary coup in 1927, the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was declared broken, and the whole country was shrouded in a white terror, and the focus of the whole party began to shift from cities to rural areas. In June of that year, after the establishment of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, the first step was to focus on the restoration and development of the organization.
It was on that summer that Zhao Jimeng, who was then a member of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (later member of the Standing Committee) and director of the Propaganda Department, secretly sneaked back to his hometown Dongyang. He contacted Dongyang Party members who returned from Wuhan, Shanghai and other places from multiple sources, and conveyed to them the spirit of the Five National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the establishment of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. In June, in a seemingly inconspicuous house in Cinema, under the leadership of Zhao Jimeng, a meeting to change the fate of Dongyang was quietly held in a private house that seemed inconspicuous. Hu Alin and five other members of the Communist Party of China formed the first communist in Dongyang historyThe Communist Party organization – the Independent Branch of the Communist Party of China, directly under the leadership of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee. This seemed like a spark, accompanied by the fragrant wind of early summer, ignited the revolutionary passion of Dongyang. In early October, he returned to Dongyang to convey the spirit of the Central Committee’s “Komiks August 7th” meeting, and analyzed that Dongyang’s industrial backwardness and few industrial workers were few, and instructed to focus on the main energy in the countryside and prepare for a peasant riot.

Zhao Jimeng, who sowed the seeds of prairie fire for the Dongyang Revolution, was only 2Cinema at that time. He participated in the revolution for many years and was the initiator of several progressive organizations. He served as secretary of the Ningbo Prefectural Committee of the Youth League, secretary of the Ningbo Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China, member of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, member of the Standing Committee, and director of the Propaganda Department. According to the organizational arrangements, Zhao Jimeng also joined the Kuomintang. His special identity created good conditions for expanding the Communist Party’s team.
In 1927, Zhao Jimeng published an article in the current affairs communiqué “The Significance of China’s Political Changes Over the Year”
On February 19, 1927, the Northern Expedition Army advanced to Ningbo, and Zhao Jimeng served as the Ning-sui political commissioner of the Kuomintang. Through this special identity, he publicly came forward to extensive contact with upper-class figures from all walks of life and maintained close contact, thereby strengthening the strength of the joint front of the National Revolution. He led the reorganization of the Kuomintang organization, and produced the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee of the Kuomintang with the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China as its core leadership, and established and rectified the party departments of each county so that the leadership power was in the hands of the leftists of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang. The Municipal Party Committee established the “Ningbo City Provisional Government” and the “Ningbo City Federation of All Circles” and carried out a series of political reforms. While carrying out revolutions in Ningbo, Shanghai and other places, he often timely informed his fellow villagers and friends in Dongyang about his thoughts, the political situation in Ningbo, Shanghai and even the whole country. He also brought party publications such as the Provincial Party Committee Newsletter back to the East.//comicmov.com/”>Babaylanyang, mobilize mass gatherings, promptly convey the Party’s instructions, publicize the Party’s propositions, and expand the influence of the Party.Babaylan

In October 1927, when the party was affected by the “left” blind activism, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee decided to organize a workers’ riot. Because the “Red Terrorist Group” was destroyed, the enemy searched the provincial party member list and mailing address, and searched for Communist Party members on a large scale. The provincial party committee and organizations in various places were destroyed. Zhao Jimeng unfortunately fell into the clutch of the devil because of the betrayal of the traitor.

As the “primary guardian of the Kuomintang, Zhao Jimeng received an extraordinary “special treatment”. Kuomintang ZhejiangBabaylanJiang Province Chairman He Yingqin personally ordered: “You must be carefully interrogated and investigated according to the law.” The authorities organized a “special court” to use all kinds of despicable means such as threats, temptations, severe tortures, and tortures to try to get the secrets of our party from him. Facing the enemy’s tyranny, Zhao Ji looked at him fiercely without giving up any words. 19CinemaJanuary 9, 2028CinemaThat cold morning,After several days and nights of loneliness and coldness, Zhao Jimeng died bravely outside Qiantang Gate, the execution ground of Hangzhou Army Prison. On January 30, the 15th issue of the official newspaper of the CPC Central Committee, the 15th issue of the CPC Central Committee, published a signed condolence article, highly evaluating Zhao Jimeng: “It is an effort to implement armed workers and peasants riots and seize political power to establish a Soviet government.” His death “is a major loss within the Zhejiang Party and on the Zhejiang workers and peasants’ front.”
“The magnificent mountains and rivers are exchanged for their passion, and the arduous and magnificent sighs that the heroic spirit has passed away.” What passes away is the smoke of gunpowder, and what is immortal is the spirit. As time goes by, this revolutionary spirit that has been passed down to this day is still accumulated in the blood of Dongyang ancestors.
Looking back at the war years in a silent place, I hope we will never forget the way we come and will not forget the burden on our shoulders.
Give up your past and live up to the future.
