Liu Hulan, formerly known as Liu Fulan, was born on October 8, 1932. He was born in Yunzhouxi Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province, into a middle-peasant family. His mother died early, and his father Liu Jingqian remarried Hu Wenxiu. Hu Wenxiu changed the word "Fu" in Liu Fulan's name to his own surname "Hu" and changed his name to Liu Hulan from then on. The stepmother actively participated in the work of the Women's Rescue Society and strongly supported Liu Hulan's participation in the revolution.
Liu Hulan went to the village primary school at the age of 8 and joined the children's league at the age of 10. In October 1945, Liu Hulan participated in the "Women Cadre Training Course" organized by the Wenshui County Committee of the Communist Party of China. After studying for more than a month, she returned to the village and served as the secretary of the Village Women's Salvation Association. In May 1946, Liu Hulan was transferred to the women's officer of the "Anti-League" in the fifth district; in June, Liu Hulan was absorbed as a probationary member of the Communist Party of China and was transferred back to Yunzhou West Village to lead the local land reform movement.
In the autumn of 1946, the Kuomintang army launched a massive attack on the liberated areas. The Wenshui County Party Committee decided to keep a small number of armed workers to continue the struggle, and a large number of cadres moved up the mountain. At that time, Liu Hulan also received a transfer notice, but she took the initiative to stay and continue to fight. This 14-year-old female Communist Party member traveled back and forth in her hometown that had become an enemy area, secretly mobilizing the masses and cooperating with the armed workers team to attack the enemy.
Shi Peihuai, the reactionary village chief of Yunzhou West Village, distributed food and intelligence for Yan Xishan's army, and became a local disaster. One day in December 1946, Liu Hulan cooperated with the military workers to execute him. Yan Xishan's bandit army became angry and decided to carry out revenge. On January 12, 1947, Yan Jun suddenly attacked Yunzhou West Village, and Liu Hulan was arrested for informing a traitor. She calmly handed over three precious souvenirs to her stepmother: the silver ring given by her grandmother, the handkerchief given by the Eighth Route Army company commander, and the Tiger Oil box as a token of joining the party. After that, she was taken away by the aggressive enemy. Liu Hulan remained unmoved in the face of coercion and inducement. She was taken to the guillotine and saw the bandit soldiers guillotining several people. She asked angrily, "How am I going to die?" After the bandits yelled, "It's the same thing," she lay down calmly. On the knife holder. Liu Hulan was not yet 15 years old when she died.
[Edit this paragraph] Background
While Mao Zedong was directing the national war situation, he wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "Great life, glorious death!"
Liu Hulan She is the youngest known female martyr of the Communist Party of China. Relying on her feelings for the people and her firm belief in the communist ideal, she remained unyielding in the face of the guillotine and regarded death as home. This kind of performance is precisely the result of the Communist Party's revolutionary education deeply penetrating into the hearts of millions of farmers.
The revolutionary war led by the Communist Party of China is essentially a new type of peasant war. It uses the ideas of the advanced class to mobilize and arm millions of peasants who were originally small producers. Liu Hulan was able to join the Communist Party as a 14-year-old rural boy. This was first of all because she had received party education since the Children's League and saw that the land reform led by the party had brought fundamental benefits to poor farmers. In order to defend the interests of her class, she was not greedy for money or afraid of death. In the end, facing the enemy's temptation, she only replied: "Give me a golden man and you will not confess." On the execution ground, she shouted again: "Afraid of death." Not a communist." At that time, the bandits pulled out several people from the crowd and asked them to beat Liu Hulan, but no one took action, which just showed the close relationship between the party and the masses at that time.
On March 26, 1947, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "Greatness in life, glory in death!" That was exactly eight days after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had just retreated from Yan'an, and Mao Zedong was deciding He left northern Shaanxi to deal with the Kuomintang army in a guerrilla manner. At this critical juncture, the leaders of the entire party, while busy directing the national war situation, wrote such words for a young female party member. It has the implication of inspiring the entire party and all people in the liberated areas to fight bravely to win the war.
[Edit this paragraph] The Anonymous Story of Liu Hulan
Most of what Liu Hulan displayed outside was a fearless, fierce and powerful artistic image, but in fact, she also had such an image in the martyr's youth. She lived a rich emotional life. She was engaged twice during her lifetime, fell in love once, and experienced a ghost marriage after her death. Before her execution, she regarded the small handkerchief given to her by Captain Wang as the most precious object and gave it to her stepmother to keep.
In early 1946, according to local customs, the parents arranged an engagement between Liu Hulan and Chen Delin, a young man from a neighboring village. However, since both parties involved advocated free love, they agreed amicably to go home and persuade their parents to terminate the engagement.
In June of the same year, Liu Hulan was admitted to the party under exceptional circumstances, and soon someone came to propose marriage. Because the man was working as an apprentice in Taigu County and did not go home often, Liu Hulan refused because he did not understand the man's true situation. At that time, Liu Hulan was already young and pursuing independent love and marriage.
In the autumn of the same year, Wang Bengu, the company commander of a certain regiment of the People's Liberation Army, was injured in battle and was sent to Yunzhou West Village to recuperate. Liu Hulan often went to cook and apply medicine for Wang Bengu, so they had many contacts, and the two had a falling out. love. At that time, living in a rural area where feudal ideology was relatively serious, this kind of behavior showed exactly an anti-feudal ideological liberation.
Due to the dangerous war environment and Liu Hulan's young age, she and Wang Bengu have not yet discussed marriage. At that time, Company Commander Wang only gave Liu Hulan's family a blanket, a pen and a pair of glasses as tokens of their engagement. When he recovered from his injury and returned to the team, he gave Liu Hulan a small handkerchief as a souvenir. Before Liu Hulan was executed, he gave this handkerchief to his stepmother as the most precious object.
After Liu Hulan's death, he was taken care of by his uncle Liu Guangqian. According to local customs, he was married to Shi Liu'er who died together. In 1957, the Liu Hulan Martyr Cemetery was built, and Liu Hulan's remains were moved into the cemetery alone, thus ending the ghost marriage.
Being ruthless may not be truly heroic. Heroes are also made of flesh and blood, and each hero is inseparable from the specific background of the times and living environment. Martyr Liu Hulan had a rich emotional world during her lifetime, which made her heroic image more relatable and believable.
Liu Hulan has five brothers and sisters, three of whom were born to her stepmother. When she died, her younger sister Liu Ailan was present to witness her death. At the end of 1948, she joined the army and was assigned to the combat drama club, playing the role of her sister in "Liu Hulan".
After the liberation of the country, Liu Hulan's deeds were written into books and adapted into plays, movies, and TV series. The village where he lived was once changed to "Liu Hulan Village". In 1957, on the 10th anniversary of the death of martyr Liu Hulan, a cemetery for martyr Liu Hulan was built locally. In front of the martyr's tomb, there is a full-length statue of Liu Hulan carved from white marble with head held high.
Liu Hulan, who was living in the countryside at that time, had never taken a photo. This image was created by relying on her stepmother Hu Wenxiu’s oral introduction to Liu Hulan’s physical characteristics. It was enlarged and processed from the original created by the famous sculptor Chao Wen. .
In June of the same year, Liu Hulan was admitted to the party under exceptional circumstances, and soon someone came to propose marriage. Because the man was working as an apprentice in Taigu County and did not go home often, Liu Hulan refused because he did not understand the man's true situation. At that time, Liu Hulan was already young and pursuing independent love and marriage.

When he recovered from his injury and returned to the team, he gave Liu Hulan a small handkerchief as a souvenir. Before Liu Hulan was executed, he gave this handkerchief to his stepmother as the most precious object.
After Liu Hulan died, his uncle Liu Guangqian took care of it. According to local customs, he was married to Shi Liuer who died together. In 1957, the Liu Hulan Martyr Cemetery was built, and Liu Hulan's remains were moved separately to the cemetery, thus ending the ghost marriage.
Being ruthless may not be truly heroic. Heroes are also made of flesh and blood, and each hero is inseparable from the specific background of the times and living environment. Martyr Liu Hulan had a rich emotional world during her lifetime, which made her heroic image more relatable and believable.
However, for a while, Liu Hulan's stepmother encountered serious political trouble. The mystery of who betrayed Liu Hulan has not been clarified for a long time. Hu Wenxiu was once under suspicion and was criticized for this. Liu Hulan's father, Liu Jingqian, is honest and honest, but he cannot remain silent about this. He and his daughter Liu Fanglan rushed to Beijing together to find party and state leaders to clarify right from wrong. The problem was finally reported to Premier Zhou Enlai, who personally intervened and finally cleared Hu Wenxiu's injustice.
The truth was not found out until 1963: the traitor was Shi Wuze, secretary of the Yunzhouxi Village Peasant Association. He had been criticized by Liu Hulan for shielding the widow Duan Er, the landlord, and was later dismissed from his position and expelled from the party. Therefore, I hold a grudge in my heart. As soon as Yan Jun arrived, Liu Hulan and other seven people were betrayed. Shi Wuze was shot by the government on February 14, 1963 and received the punishment he deserved.
