all one's life
■ She joined the League at the age of 10, but joined the Party at the age of 14 and became a female officer in the district. He was not 15 years old when he was lying on the hay cutter.
Liu Hulan, formerly known as Liu Fulan, 1932 10 was born in a middle-class peasant family in Wenshui County, Shanxi Province. Mother died young, and father Liu continued to marry. The word "Fu" in Liu Fulan's name was changed to "Hu" and renamed as Liu Hulan. Stepmother actively participated in the work of the Women's Rescue Association and supported Liu Hulan's participation in the revolution.
Liu Hulan entered the village primary school at the age of 8 and joined the league at the age of 10. 1945 10, Liu Hulan attended the "Training Course for Female Cadres" organized by Wenshui County Committee of China. After studying for more than a month, she returned to the village and served as the secretary of the village women's national salvation association. 1946 In May, Liu Hulan was transferred to the "Anti-Union" female officer in the fifth district; In June, Liu Hulan was absorbed to prepare for party member, and was transferred back to Yunzhou West Village to lead the local land reform movement.
1in the autumn of 946, the Kuomintang troops attacked the liberated areas on a large scale, and the Wenshui County Committee decided to leave a few armed forces to persist in the struggle and a large number of cadres went up the mountain. At that time, Liu Hulan also received a notice of transfer, but she volunteered to stay and persist in the struggle. /kloc-a 0/4-year-old woman, born in party member, travels in her hometown which has become an enemy-occupied area, secretly mobilizes the masses and cooperates with the armed forces to fight against the enemy.
Shi Peihuai, the reactionary village chief of Yunzhouxi Village, sent food, money and information to Yan Xishan's army, which became a local disaster. 1one day in February, 946, Liu Hulan cooperated with the people of the armed forces to put him to death.

background
■ While commanding the national war, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "Great life, glorious death!"
Liu Hulan is the youngest female martyr known to the China * * * Production Party. With feelings for the people and firm belief in the ideal of capitalism, she was indomitable in the face of the hay cutter and died. This kind of performance is the result that the revolutionary education of the * * * production party has penetrated into the hearts of millions of peasants in Qian Qian, Qian Qian.
The revolutionary war led by China's Producer Party is essentially a new peasant war, which is to mobilize and arm millions of peasants who used to be small producers with the ideas of the advanced class. Liu Hulan, as a rural teenager aged 14, can join the * * * production party. First of all, she received the education of the Party from the Children's League and saw that the land reform led by the Party brought fundamental benefits to poor farmers. In order to defend the interests of this class, she can neither be greedy for money nor be afraid of death. Finally, in the face of the enemy's inducement, she only replied, "Give me a gold man without confession." On the execution ground, she shouted again: "I'm afraid of death, I won't be a party." At that time, the bandit troops pulled a few people out of the crowd at the scene and asked them to fight Liu Hulan. No one did it, which just showed the relationship between the party and the masses at that time.
On March 26th, 1947, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "Great life, glorious death!" On the eighth day after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China just retreated from Yan 'an, Mao Zedong decided to leave northern Shaanxi and deal with the Kuomintang troops in a guerrilla way. At this critical juncture, the leaders of the whole party wrote such words for a young woman, party member, during their busy schedule of commanding the national war, which has the implication of inspiring the whole party and all the people in the liberated areas to fight bravely.
story
■ Liu Hulan also had a rich emotional life in his short youth. She was engaged twice, fell in love once, and experienced a ghost marriage after her sacrifice.
■ Before her execution, she gave the handkerchief given to her by Wang Lianchang as the most precious thing to her stepmother for preservation.
After the national liberation, Liu Hulan's deeds were written into books, adapted into plays, movies and TV series, and his village was once changed to "Liu Hulan Village". On the occasion of 1957, the Liu Hulan Martyrs Sacrifice 10 anniversary, the Liu Hulan Martyrs Cemetery was built locally. In front of the tomb of the martyr, there is a full-length portrait of Liu Hulan carved out of white marble, holding one's head high.
Liu Hulan, who lived in the countryside at that time, had never taken a photo. The image was created by Hu Wenxiu, the stepmother, and orally introduced the appearance characteristics of Liu Hulan, which was enlarged and processed by the original work created by Wang Chaowen, a famous sculptor.
Most of the artistic images displayed by Liu Hulan are awe-inspiring and powerful. In fact, he had a rich emotional life in his youth as a martyr.
Liu Hulan was engaged to be married twice, talked about love once, and experienced a ghost marriage after his sacrifice. At the beginning of 1946, parents betrothed Liu Hulan to Chen Delin, a young man from a neighboring village, according to local customs. However, since both sides advocate free love, they agreed to go home and persuade their parents to dissolve their engagement.
In June of the same year, Liu Hulan was admitted to the Party, and soon someone came to propose. Because the man was an apprentice in Taigu County and didn't often go home, Liu Hulan refused because he didn't know the real situation of the man. At that time, Liu Hulan was at the beginning of youth, pursuing independent love and marriage.
In the autumn of the same year, Wang, the company commander of a certain regiment of the People's Liberation Army, was sent to Yunzhou West Village to recuperate. Liu Hulan often went to cook and take medicine for Wang. After much contact, they fell in love. At that time, living in a country with serious feudal thoughts, this behavior showed exactly an anti-feudal ideological emancipation.
Because of the dangerous war environment and Liu Hulan's young age, she and Wang Yizhi didn't talk about marriage. At that time, Wang Lianchang only gave Liu Hulan a blanket, a pen and a pair of glasses as a token of love. When he returned from injury, he gave Liu Hulan a small handkerchief as a souvenir. Liu Hulan gave this handkerchief to her stepmother as the most precious thing before her execution.
After Liu Hulan's sacrifice, Liu Guangqian, an uncle, was in charge. She and Shi Liuer, who died together, matched a match according to local customs. 1957, Liu Hulan Martyrs Cemetery was completed, and Liu Hulan's body was moved into the cemetery alone, thus ending the ghost marriage.
Ruthlessness is not necessarily a hero. Heroes are also flesh and blood, and every hero can't live without a specific background and living environment. Liu Hulan martyr had a rich emotional world before her death, which made her heroic image more amiable and credible.
■ Her second sister Liu Ailan was present when she died. Later, she joined the army and was assigned to a battle drama club to play her sister in Liu Hulan.
■ Premier Zhou personally intervened in Liu Hulan's family affairs and settled the grievances for Liu's stepmother.
Half a year after Liu Hulan's sacrifice, 1,1In August, 947, the Jinsui branch of China * * * decided to make an exception (usually 18 years old can only become a full member) and ratified Liu Hulan as the official party member of China * * * Production Party. Soon, the People's Liberation Army captured Wenshui County, and the company commander and bearded Zhang who killed the martyrs were publicly tried and executed.
There are five brothers and sisters in Liu Hulan's family, three of whom were born by their stepmother. When she died, second sister Liu Ailan witnessed it. 1At the end of 948, Liu Ailan joined the army and was assigned to the Battle Drama Club to play her sister in the performance of the drama Liu Hulan.
Her two younger brothers later joined the army and were renamed "Ying Ji" and "Gillette" by local leaders. Because Liu's father is not good at words, he often goes out to give reports on martyrs' deeds, and his stepmother holds this position.
However, for a while, Liu Hulan's stepmother was caught in a serious political dilemma. Who betrayed Liu Hulan? This mystery has not been discovered for a long time. Hu Wenxiu was suspected and criticized for this. Liu Hulan's father, Liu, is honest, but he can't be silent. He and his daughter Liu rushed to Beijing to find the party and state leaders to judge right and wrong. This problem was finally reflected to Premier Zhou Enlai, and Premier Zhou personally asked, which enabled Hu Wenxiu to solve the unjust case.
It was not until 1963 that the truth was found out: the traitor was Shi, secretary of the Yunzhouxi Village Farmers' Association. He was criticized by Liu Hulan for harboring the landlord's second sister-in-law, and was later dismissed from his post and expelled from the Party, so he held a grudge. As soon as the Yanjun arrived, he betrayed all seven people, including Liu Hulan. Shi was shot by the government on February 1963 and was duly punished.
