Ma Yaonan, whose real name is Fang Sheng, 1902, is from Beiwangzhuang, the third district of Changshan County (now Beiwangzhuang, Zhang Fang Town, zhoucun district City, Zibo). 1924, 22-year-old Ma Yaonan was admitted to Tianjin Beiyang University, majoring in mechanical engineering. He is a famous "high flyers" in Shiliba Township. Not only did he succeed in his studies, but Ma Yaonan had a revolutionary consciousness of resisting Japan and saving the country early in his life.
At the end of World War I, * * * succumbed to imperialism and agreed that Japan would replace Germany's rights in Shandong. Ma Yaonan, who is only 17 years old, is filled with indignation. His diary at that time recorded his heart: "We want to drive imperialism out, and we want to be real China people". At that time, he studied in Jinan No.1 Middle School, Shandong Province, actively participated in patriotic and anti-imperialist activities, participated in the "Marxist Theory Research Seminar" organized by Deng Enming and Wang Jinmei, Shandong Province, and received the enlightenment education of communism.
Ma Yaonan once joined the work of * * * with great enthusiasm and soon became a leading member of the Party Department of Tianjin. However, after Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" coup on 1927, he massacred members of * * *, and Ma Yaonan decided to quit * * * and return to Tianjin to actively participate in activities to betray Chiang Kai-shek, so he was wanted by Chiang Kai-shek. 1933, invited by all walks of life in Changshan County, his hometown, he returned to his hometown as the principal of Changshan Middle School. From then on, he decided to train useful talents for the country and take the road of saving the country through education.
1937 Shortly after the Lugouqiao Incident, Ma Yaonan decided to join the army to resist Japan and save the country. He wrote in his diary on August 15 that year: "The artillery fire in Shanghai is extremely fierce, and the whole country has entered a state of bloody battle. It's safe to take care of yourself here. You can die! From now on, when you are particularly excited and ask for something in return, serve your country and get a big sacrifice, you can live in the world. " At this moment, * * also posed as an anti-Japanese face, trying to use Ma Yaonan's local influence to expand the sphere of influence of * * *, and announced the restoration of Ma Yaonan's * * * membership. Ma Yaonan immediately said: "* * wants me, I don't want it!"
1937 After the armed uprising in Heitieshan, the Fifth Army of Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was established. Ma Yaonan rushed to Heitieshan with three guns, several hundred yuan, a mimeograph and a first aid kit from Changshan Middle School, and was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army of Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the Director of the Temporary Action Committee. 1March, 938, the uprising troops grew to more than 2,000 people, active in the vast rural areas north and south of Ji Jiao Railway. After the expansion of zouping county, Ma Yaonan became the commander.
The growing development of this army has attracted the attention of the die-hards. Liu Jingliang, who claimed to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Japanese War in Northern Shandong, courted Ma Yaonan with a high official and generous salary, which was not only rebuffed by him, but also exposed the * * * fake anti-Japanese behavior. Chairman Lu and Commander-in-Chief of Su Ru Theater Shen Honglie appointed Ma Yaonan as Commander of Anti-Japanese Column of Lubei Administrative Office, and he tore the power of attorney to pieces on the spot. 1938 10, Ma Yaonan joined China.
Ma Yaonan and Yang Guofu, the deputy commander, led the troops across the battlefield and made outstanding military achievements. However,1July 22nd, 939, the headquarters of the third detachment met the enemy in Niuwangzhuang, Huantai County, and Ma Yaonan led the officers of the headquarters and the machine gun company to break through. When they arrived in Dazhai village, they were ambushed by the enemy and died heroically at the age of 37. 1942, * * * Qinghe prefectural party Committee decided to set up "Yaonan Middle School" as a memorial.
Time flies, the stars have changed, and a generation of scholar commander Ma Yaonan has drifted away with the war-torn years, but the peace and stability he exchanged with blood today will keep this martyr who died young in our hearts forever.
