Life of a Martyr
Zhang Jiazhou studied in local private schools and government primary schools when he was a child. In 1923, he entered Qiqihar Provincial No. 1 Middle School. In 1924, he was expelled from the school because he opposed Northeastern warlord Zhang Zuolin's recruitment of soldiers at the school and took to the streets to demonstrate. In the same year, he entered Shenyang Wenhua Middle School and was elected as the student president. While in school, he was expelled from the school again for supporting the Shanghai workers' movement and leading student demonstrations.
In 1926, while studying at Qiqihar Industrial School, he was arrested and imprisoned by a feudal warlord for leading students in a patriotic movement. After being released from prison, he left the provincial capital and went south to study. In 1927, he studied at Beiping Hongda Tutorial College, and the following year he entered the School of Science of Peking University. While in school, he was still committed to student movements. In 1930, he was imprisoned again for rescuing a Tsinghua University classmate who was arrested to commemorate the May 1st International Labor Day. While in prison, I met some progressive people such as Feng Zhongyun, a member of the Communist Party of China. Great changes occurred in my thinking and I gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Communist Party of China. After he was released from prison, he took advantage of the opportunity to return to his hometown to visit relatives during the summer vacation. Together with Gao Xiwen, an alumnus of Peking Normal University, he launched a struggle among Bayan college and middle school students to expel the county magistrate Zhai Xingfan, and won.
In August 1930, he joined the Communist Party of China. In September of the same year, he was admitted to the Department of Political Science of Tsinghua University, and successively served as Secretary of the Peking Western Suburban Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, Director of Propaganda of the Peking Municipal Party Committee, and Acting Secretary of the Peiping Municipal Party Committee. In order to expose the Kuomintang's sinister intentions of pretending to be anti-Japanese and really anti-Japanese, he and Hu Qiaomu and others participated in the founding of the publications "Northern Youth" and "Modern Middle School Students".
He once hosted a private school, taught classes in person, explained the principles of resisting Japan and saving the nation to the broad masses of patriotic students and the people, and called on the people to rise up and fight. After the September 18th Incident, the underground organization of the Communist Party of China in Peking was destroyed, so he returned to the Northeast and was introduced by Feng Zhongyun to the librarian Wang Lifei to do international reconnaissance work. After Harbin was captured by the Japanese invaders, he advocated that students from Northeastern China return to their hometowns and use armed struggle to resist the Japanese invaders, and received the approval of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In May 1932, together with Yu Jiugong, Xia Shangzhi and others, he organized an anti-Japanese armed team of more than 200 people at Bayan Qimajia (now Dongxiang Town) primary school, served as the commander-in-chief, and carried out armed struggle. The guerrillas soon grew to more than 1,000 people and moved to Mingshui, Anda, Hulan, Qinggang, Lanxi and other areas, dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese invading forces. Soon, with the help of the Chinese Communist Party organization, the Bayan guerrillas were officially reorganized into the "Jiangbei Independent Division of the 36th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", with Wu Fuhai as the division commander, and Zhao Shangzhi as the chief of staff.
In early 1933, after his unit was dispersed by reactionary armed forces, he was expelled from the party, but he still engaged in the underground anti-Japanese struggle. In July 1937, he taught at Fujin Middle School and explained the revolutionary principles to teachers and students. He also covered underground workers of the Communist Party of China many times, passing on intelligence and transporting guns and ammunition.
On August 28, 1937, in order to prevent the persecution of him by the Japanese and puppet authorities, the anti-Japanese general Qi Zhizhong sent Chief of Staff Li Jingyin and Young Pioneers political commissar Guo Geyi to Fujin to handle his transfer. He left the county and went to Dong When entering Laomao Village, they were suddenly ambushed by armed forces of the pseudo-local team. During the battle, he was shot in the abdomen and died of excessive bleeding.
The story of martyrdom
At four o'clock in the afternoon on August 28, 1937, Comrade Guo Geyi of the Independent Division came to Fujin Middle School again. He had already "visited the thatched cottage three times." The first two were progressive young people who were transported to the Anti-Japanese Alliance by Zhang Jinsi.
This time, Guo Geyi made a special trip to pick up Zhang Jinsi. At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jinsi met with Guo Geyi, Li Jingyin (Chief of Staff of the Independent Division), and Xue Hua who came to greet him. A few people were walking, chatting, and talking about their lofty ideals of resisting Japan and saving the country on the field path... They never expected that the enemy had discovered them and hid in the cornfield in front. When they walked nearby, the Self-Defense Group The gangsters suddenly opened fire, and Comrade Zhang Jinsi, the nation's elite and the pride of the people, died heroically. He was thirty-one years old.
