1September, 926, Feng Yuxiang's national army and allied forces passed through Ningxia, entered Gansu to aid Shaanxi, and coordinated the northern expedition and crossed the jujube garden. In the army, Zhong party member went deep into the school to spread Marxism-Leninism, carried out revolutionary activities and took an active part.
1929 Spring, Li Tiancai was admitted to Ningxia Middle School, which was closely related to Sun Diancai. They often exchange ideas, explore the truth of saving the country and the people, and are determined to join the revolution, find the production party organization and join the revolution.
1930 In the spring, Ningxia Middle School hired Du Liting, a graduate of Beiping University, to teach in Ningxia Middle School and served as the academic director. Du Liting, Mizhi people in northern Shaanxi, ideological progress, tendency to revolution. In May, * * Beifang Bureau sent Du Runzi to Ningxia to establish a party organization by taking advantage of his relationship with Du Liting, who are fellow villagers and alumni of Peking University. In Ningxia Middle School, Li Tiancai and other progressive students actively joined the organization and participated in revolutionary activities. At that time, party member Du Runzi and others planned the student movement in Ningzhong, and put forward the slogan of "expelling Mr. Xu Zongru and supporting Du Liting as the principal", and Li Tiancai and other progressive students responded positively. With the active struggle of teachers and students, the student movement won.
After the victory of the student movement struggle, the party organization seized the opportunity, took advantage of the contradictions and struggles within the Ningxia Garrison, actively carried out the army movement work, and prepared to establish a revolutionary armed force under the party's control. 1 1 in June, Li Tiancai went to Zhongning to contact Liu Chengdong, Zhang Xi, etc. 10 many young students, and Ma Zhongying Kibaki, then the battalion commander of Ma Hongbin Department, was on the defensive to launch an uprising with Ma Zhongying. This move was discovered by Ma Hongbin. Ma Hongbin is going to kill Ma Zhongying and related personnel. After Ma Zhongying got the news, he led the teaching brigade to flee from the provincial capital, and went to Zhongning, Kibaki, Ma Qian, Li Tiancai and a group of young students, about 1000 people, and rushed to Hexi Corridor. After Ma Zhongying arrived in Jiuquan, Gansu, he suffered a crushing defeat. Li Tiancai and others left Ma Bu and returned to Ningxia.
165438+1On October 20th, after the middle school student uprising and Ma Zhongying rebellion in Ningxia, Ma Hongbin stepped up its strict rule over Ningxia. The Kuomintang Ningxia Provincial Party Department opened the letter in the post office and found that a teacher from Anbian Primary School in northern Shaanxi sent a letter to Du Runzi, which was suspected of "associating with the * * * production party". Du Runzi and Du Liting were arrested, other progressive teachers were dismissed, and some were expelled from Ningxia. Ningxia middle school was in a state of white terror.
193 1 At the beginning of the year, Li Tiancai returned to Ningxia from Jiuquan, Gansu, and continued to keep in touch with Du Runzi in prison. Soon, through the introduction, joined the China * * * production party. In August, Feng Yuxiang took advantage of the contradictions among various factions in Gansu Province to instigate the former cadre Lei Zhongtian to fall, and detained Ma Hongbin, then chairman of Gansu Provincial Government, in Lanzhou.
The main force of Ma Hongbin in Ningxia was ordered to go to Lanzhou to rescue the danger, and the Ningxia defense line was temporarily empty. Du Runzi, who is in prison, thinks that we should take this opportunity to organize armed riots in Ningxia. According to Du Runzi's instructions, Li Tiancai returned to Zhongning to incite the local garrison to launch a mutiny. He has got in touch with Sun Tiancai, the machine gun company commander of the seventh division of Ma Hongbin's department in Ning 'an Fort, Zhongning, and Zhang Zizhen, the deputy battalion commander of Ma Hongbin's department and the captain of the original West Road Security Team. After many conversations, they all supported the anti-horsemen riot. After returning to Ningxia provincial capital to report to Du Runzi, Du agreed and decided to organize a riot in Sun Tiancai's spy camp and made a plan. 12 In late February, a riot was launched. Because the news leaked, the enemy came prepared and deployed poorly, so it failed. Li Tiancai was arrested and taken to Ningxia provincial capital prison. Li Tiancai was tortured in prison, but he never revealed the secret of the organization.
At the beginning of 1932, after various rescues, Li Tiancai was released on bail pending trial. In March this year, Li Tianlu (Li Tiancai's cousin), the principal of Zaoyuan Primary School, hired Li Tiancai as a sixth-grade Chinese teacher. At school, Li Tiancai teaches students to "be the new master of the new era, not conquered people, save the country and the people, and dare to take the lead". In order to publicize the Anti-Japanese War, I wrote my own songs and taught students to sing: "Students, listen carefully, the catastrophe is coming; Come fierce, come fierce, come to Japanese guizibing; Guizibing, who occupied the Eastern Province, wantonly burned, killed and looted. Save your compatriots, save your brothers, and get up quickly to fight the enemy; Pick up the gun, pick up the gun, defeat the devil and enjoy peace. "
Also this month, Zi was rescued from prison by others and found in Zhongning Zaoyuan, asking him to work in Lanzhou. After discussion, Du Runzi went first. In May, Li Tiancai went to Lanzhou and was introduced to work in the tax bureau of Lanzhou Department Store temporarily. Du Runzi went to Jingyuan Spring, and Xie Zichang, Jiao Weichi and others organized and launched a spring riot. Later, Li Tiancai also went to Shuiquan to participate in the Shuiquan riots and served as an economic commissioner. After the failed uprising, Li Tiancai was wanted by Gansu and Ningxia provinces, so he disguised himself as a boatman and took a boat to Peiping via Baotou. In the autumn of the same year, Li Tiancai found Ningxia Lv Ping Student Union in Peiping, got in touch with Zhang Zihua, Sun Diancai and others, and established a secret contact point at No.7 Shuiyue Temple in Xicheng District. Li Tiancai lives here and often meets Zhang Zihua, Sun Diancai and others. They go deep into factories during the day, get familiar with the workers, organize red trade unions and publicize anti-Japanese; Write slogans and hand out leaflets at night. In order to prevent the police from arresting them, they wrapped lime in paper in advance, and once they were arrested by the police, they hit the police in the eyes with lime bags and took the opportunity to escape.
At the beginning of 1933, Li Tiancai established two strongholds in Beiping Houmen Waiche Trade Union and Dongcheng Russian Business School, and kept in touch with Rao Shushi, head of the office of North China Federation of Trade Unions. In order to finish his work, Li Tiancai disguised himself as a rickshaw puller and often lived with the workers. When I went out to work, I found that the activity base was monitored by spies, and the comrades in the alliance were in a very dangerous situation. He ventured into the yard and said loudly, "Lao Zhang, the guests are in Donglaishun, and everyone is waiting for you there." The spies thought the meeting place had changed, but they didn't start to act at that time. They followed Li Tiancai and others in an attempt to catch the gang. Finally, under the cover of tram workers and the masses, Li Tiancai and others quickly changed their clothes and got rid of the following spies tactfully. In order to avoid being tracked by spies, Li Tiancai sometimes hides behind a temple statue or under a coffin corpse when performing his duties, thus saving the day many times.
In July, the people's anti-Japanese Coalition forces in Chahar defeated the Japanese army many times and recovered a large area of land in northern Chahar. The military strength was greatly boosted and the masses cheered. Li Tiancai organized the masses to hold celebrations, and also supported the general strike of railway workers to show his determination to "persist in resisting Japan and oppose surrender". In September, when Li Tiancai was engaged in the workers' movement in Mentougou, Beiping, he was unfortunately arrested and imprisoned.
In prison, Li Tiancai fought tenaciously with the enemy with amazing perseverance.
At first, the enemy used the means of making a wish to be an official to buy off Li Tiancai, but it was sternly rejected. Later, the enemy tortured Li Tiancai with extremely cruel instruments of torture such as stretchers, hot soldering irons and nail beds imported from Germany, but Li Tiancai gritted his teeth and righteously refused to yield to the enemy, denouncing the enemy: "China workers have the freedom to love their country, oppose imperialist aggression and defend national sovereignty. What crime? You traitors and traitors have suppressed workers for the Japanese aggressors and committed heinous crimes. The people will not forgive you! "
Mad, a cruel enemy, even poured pepper water into Li Tiancai's nostrils without finding anything, and was finally poisoned at the age of 25.
