☆ Visiting the Memorial Hall

At 10:00 AM on November 19th, all party members of our company's party branch arrived at the former residence of Lu Deming. Afterwards, all party members visited the Lu Deming Memorial Hall together. Under the guidance of a professional guide, all party members entered the exhibition hall to pay tribute to the life and deeds of martyr Lu Deming, reliving the glorious revolutionary years and feeling the immortal achievements of revolutionary heroes. All party members listened attentively and observed carefully, learning about revolutionary history through historical photos and precious cultural relics, pursuing the dreams of their ancestors and drawing spiritual strength.

Lu Deming (1905-1927), a native of Zhuyuan Village, Zhongquan Town, Ziliujing District, Zigong City, was the commander-in-chief of the Autumn Harvest Uprising forces. He entered Chengdu Public School in 1921 and then enrolled in the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924, where he joined the Communist Party of China. After graduating, he stayed at the academy as a political organization officer. In 1925, he participated in the Eastern Expedition of the military school students and was transferred in November of the same year to the 4th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, serving as a company commander in Ye Ting's independent regiment. He made numerous achievements during the Northern Expedition and was promoted to battalion commander and regimental staff officer. In June 1927, he became the commander of the guard regiment of the 2nd Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Together with Mao Zedong, he led the Autumn Harvest Uprising and served as the overall commander of the uprising forces, firmly supporting Mao Zedong's correct position of moving south along the Luoxiao Mountains to establish a revolutionary base in Jinggangshan. On September 23 of the same year, while the uprising army was ambushed by enemy forces during their retreat, Comrade Lu Deming led a company to hold off the enemy to protect the safe withdrawal of the troops but was unfortunately shot and killed, at the age of 22. In 2009, Lu Deming was recognized as one of the 100 hero models who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.

☆ Commemorating the Revolutionary Martyrs and Recalling the Party Admission Oath

After visiting the exhibition hall, all party members, filled with deep respect, commemorated the revolutionary martyrs and paid tribute to the memorial statue of martyr Lu Deming. Then, at the statue square, party branch secretary Huang Chao led all party members in recalling the party admission oath: 'I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China, uphold the Party's program, and abide by the Party's constitution...' This moment served to reflect on the initial intentions of joining the Party, strengthen party awareness, and further inspire the sense of responsibility and commitment among party members.

A great era calls for great spirits, and noble undertakings require exemplary leadership. During the revolutionary war period, heroes and role models represented by Lu Deming fought bravely and unyieldingly, using their flesh and blood to build the backbone of the Chinese nation. Today, our country is moving towards prosperity and strength. As the backbone of the new era in China, we must continuously draw spiritual strength from the party's historical heroes and role models, carry on the red bloodline, deepen our patriotic feelings, and practice Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in our struggle for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
