A Study on Xiang Ying’s Revolutionary Activities in Wuhan During the Great Revolution

Abstract

Xiang Ying was an outstanding proletarian revolutionary, a famous activist of the worker movement, one of the early leaders of the Party and the Red Army, one of the founders and main leaders of the New Fourth Army, and a famous general of the anti-Japanese resistance. During the period of the Great Revolution, Xiang Ying’s revolutionary activities in Wuhan were mainly in the following three areas: 1. joining the Great Revolution in response to the Northern Expedition; 2. leading the worker pickets to recover the British Concession in Hankow; 3. participating in the “Five Great Conferences” of the Chinese Communist Party. It was precisely because he had firm revolutionary ideals and beliefs that he was able to struggle fearlessly and enthusiastically in the various difficult and dangerous revolutionary struggles that followed. We must remember the nature and purpose of the Party and its original mission, pay tribute to and learn from the revolutionary martyrs, struggle unremittingly and forever, and march forward on the new journey of building a modern socialist country, towards the second century of struggle and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
