At 21:50 on July 13th, the third episode of Our Flag, Spark, arrived as scheduled. The narrator returned to single spark can start a prairie fire to pay tribute to the spirit of Jinggangshan, and told us about the autumn harvest uprising, the adaptation of the Three Bays, the March into Jinggangshan and the Gutian Conference. communist party people headed by Mao Zedong finally found a correct road that was in line with China’s reality, and also created a characteristic of "Marxism-Leninism in ravines" for the world revolution.



Mao Zedong said: "The red flag on the border has never fallen, which not only shows the strength of communist party, but also shows the bankruptcy of the ruling class, which is of great significance in national politics." Great flag consciousness determines great innovative practice. The bright red flag of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the People’s Army was erected, which made the fire sown on Jinggangshan in 1927 finally become a prairie fire in the whole country!


Today’s keynote speaker, Wang Renjun, was 36 when he played Mao Zedong in the 2019 film, just the same age as Mao Zedong in 1929. In this year, 36-year-old Mao Zedong, together with Zhu De and Chen Yi, led the main force of Gongsijun to leave Jinggangshan to develop in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian, but suffered successive blows and exclusion. There were more and more arguments with Zhu De, and even put forward that "it is difficult to continue working and prepare to study in Russia", and finally left the leadership position of Gongsijun, which he personally founded. All this is less than two years since Mao Zedong first boarded Jinggangshan and created the first rural revolutionary base in the Communist Party of China (CPC) … …



In his early years, Mao Zedong was famous for his pen. When he presided over Xiangjiang Review, he was so energetic that he reprimanded Fang Qiu. Young, he even opposed the violent revolution. But in 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12th counter-revolutionary coup, the breakdown of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the failure of the Great Revolution, which made Mao Zedong realize the importance of the gun, and the so-called "political power comes out of the gun". From the barrel of a gun, Mao Zedong saw the way out for the Communist Party of China (CPC), which was facing life and death. He had to use his own armed banner to call on the people.



Xu Yan, an expert in military history and a professor at the National Defense University, told us why the autumn harvest uprising was launched that year: the autumn harvest was the season when China’s specific contradictions intensified — — China was a country with a rural population of 90%. Most of the rural areas are poor farmers, and they have to pay rent when the autumn harvest is over. After a year of hard work, when the autumn harvest arrives, we have to hand over the grain we have harvested to the landlord, and there is not enough food at home. Therefore, the contradiction is particularly easy to intensify at this time, and it is easy for farmers to respond when communist party people raise their arms.



According to Wang Luo, the actor of Mao Zedong in the film, Mao Zedong will go to Jinggangshan because the revolution will continue and communist party will lead the people to turn over and become masters of their own affairs. Although Mao Zedong has rich revolutionary experience, he has never fought and will not fight. It was the massacre of Kuomintang reactionaries that forced him to devote himself to the torrent of armed struggle without hesitation, serving as the secretary of the former enemy Committee of the autumn harvest uprising of Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and leading the uprising in a unified way. In October, 1927, marching into Jinggangshan was the result of Mao Zedong’s repeated thinking in the face of white terror in the dark, and it was also a choice based on the revolutionary reality of China.



After the adaptation of Sanwan, Mao Zedong creatively put forward the principle that the branch was built on the company, and established the party’s leadership system over the army from the organization, so that this revolutionary team fought hard and did not break up; The establishment of the Soldiers’ Committee has fundamentally changed the relationship between officers and soldiers into a brotherly and equal relationship, which is the first time in the history of China. Equality between officers and men enables the troops to maintain a vigorous spirit of revolutionary optimism under arduous circumstances. This has become a great beginning for building a new type of people’s army led by the proletariat.


According to Xu Yan, an expert in military history and a professor at the National Defense University, there were only 700 troops left when Sanwan was reorganized, and these 700 people were organized into a regiment. The regiment has a party committee, a party branch, a party group and a class with party member. From now on, the action of the army will be decided by the party Committee and the party branch. This laid the foundation for the people’s army to be led by the party.

 


In 1931, Mao Zedong changed the "three major disciplines and six attentions" set by the troops when they went to Jinggangshan into "three major disciplines and eight attentions". With iron discipline and the firm support of the masses, communist party’s army was invincible from then on. According to screenwriter Liu Rende, "the masses can carry boats and overturn them. You see, at that time, in order to do a good job in mass relations, a bowl of water could not be moved casually, and water should be picked by the stream, and it was not allowed to use the water from the fellow villagers’ tanks. "



Shi Zhongquan, an expert on the history of the Communist Party of China and former deputy director of the Party History Research Office of the Central Committee, believes that by restraining his own army, communist party let the people know that the army led by communist party is different from that of the Kuomintang. This has won the support and trust of the people.



Jinggangshan, the first rural revolutionary base, was the cradle of China revolution. On May 25, 1928, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China promulgated the Military Work Outline, which instructed that "the army established in the separatist region can be officially named the Red Army, and the name of the former revolutionary army of workers and peasants can be abolished. The Fourth Army of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army was renamed the Fourth Army of the Red Army in early June. Jinggangshan revolutionary base has grown rapidly. In just over four months, the troops developed from less than one regiment when they went up the mountain to two regiments. People’s governments have been established in Chaling, Suichuan and Ninggang counties.


According to Liu Rende, the screenwriter of Jinggangshan, Mao Zedong knows China’s national conditions very well. Therefore, he knew that China’s road should never copy Russian experience, Marxism-Leninism should also be combined with China’s reality, and his own road should proceed from the national conditions and people’s feelings, so he finally insisted on establishing rural revolutionary base areas and encircling cities from the countryside.



In January, 1928, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the rest of Nanchang Uprising Army into Yizhang and launched a vigorous uprising in southern Hunan. He Changgong, who designed the first flag of the Chinese Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants, risked being caught and killed three times and finally got in touch with this team. Zhu Mao finally came together. The historic handshake between the two great men opened a new chapter for the China Revolution and truly established the Jinggangshan revolutionary base.

Zhu Mao stationed and held high the bright and dazzling banner of persisting in struggle and dominating Jinggang, and a revolutionary road of "encircling cities from rural areas and seizing political power by armed forces" in China has begun to take shape. The great friendship between Zhu De and Mao Zedong was thus established, and the Fourth Army of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army, later the Fourth Army of the Red Army, was jointly established. "Zhu Mao" has since become the flag of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants.



But unexpectedly, less than a year later, when Mao Zedong and Zhu De led GongSiJun to leave Jinggangshan and develop in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian, fierce conflicts and arguments broke out between them. According to the director of Gutian bugle, the dispute between Zhu and Mao is a battle of brothers, because they share the same belief. But everyone comes from different backgrounds, so they will have some differences in methods, and they will be fine in a moment. This is the truth gained in the struggle. After such a tempering, the purpose is to let the people live a happy life. So on such a basis, all contradictions between two people are not contradictions.



Liu Angong, who had just returned from studying in the Soviet Union, was sent by the Central Committee to work in Gongsijun. The "Letter from the Central Committee in February" he brought made a pessimistic assessment of the whole revolutionary situation, demanding that the Red Army of Zhu and Mao be dispersed into small groups to fight in the countryside, and that Zhu and Mao leave the army. In June, 1929, at the Seventh Party Congress of Gongsi Army, Mao Zedong was defeated as the secretary of the former committee, and the central punishment of "expelling alternate members of the Provisional Political Bureau" was also misrepresented as "expelling from the Party".

He can’t take part in organizing activities. The Kuomintang publicly fabricated the news of Mao Zedong’s death in the newspaper, which convinced the Comintern to believe it, and specially published more than 1,000 words of obituary to commemorate it. After the Party Congress, Mao Zedong left the main leadership position of Gongsijun and went to western Fujian to guide local work, but his heart was always worried about this team.



On December 28th, 1929, the famous Gutian Conference was held, and Mao Zedong was elected as the secretary of the front committee. He wrote eight resolutions of more than 30,000 words on behalf of the front committee. In his speech celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army in China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "the fundamental principle and system of the Party’s absolute leadership over the army originated from the Nanchang Uprising, was based on the adaptation of Sanwan, and was finalized at Gutian Conference, which is the political characteristic and fundamental advantage of the people’s army completely different from all the old armies. "With this fundamental principle and system, the people’s army can continue to advance under the banner of the party and become an invincible revolutionary team.



According to Xu Yan, an expert in military history and a professor at the National Defense University, on January 5, 1930, a week after the Gutian meeting, Mao Zedong wrote back to Lin Biao, commander of the first column, answering his question about "how long can the red flag last?" It was printed and distributed to army cadres in the form of intra-party communication to educate the commanders and soldiers on the situation and tasks.

This letter was compiled into Selected Works of Mao Zedong, entitled "A single spark can start a prairie fire", which became a famous article for a while and played a great role in the Red Army. This article analyzes the revolutionary situation in China: Although the strength of the Red Army was still very weak at that time, it was equivalent to a single spark, but there was dry wood everywhere, and it was bound to start a prairie fire in the future.



A single spark can start a prairie fire, where there is a flag, there is direction, and where there is a flag, there is hope.During the great century-long history of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China films have never been absent, and have always been the witnesses, participants, recorders, promoters and disseminators of China’s revolution and construction.
