After the downfall of the Gang of Four, some comrades asked me: Do you want to write an article in memory of Comrade Wang Jiaxiang? I said: I must write an article. But it has never been written. In March this year, Anhui Province is going to publish an anthology in memory of Comrade Jia Xiang. Comrade Zhu Zhongli said to me: You are in a different position now, and you are very busy. Please write a few words. I said, no! I have to write an article.

I have a particularly deep memory of Comrade Jia Xiang. This is not only because from 1939 to 1944, I worked under his direct leadership and learned many lessons from him; More importantly, he made outstanding contributions in the critical historical period of our party. I think his history and his revolutionary morality throughout his life are worth learning and learning from our comrades, especially young comrades.

Comrade Jia Xiang joined the revolution in 1925, when he was an 18-year-old middle school student. Soon, he studied in Moscow until 1993? I didn't return to China until 2008. During these five years, he studied very diligently, thus gaining rich knowledge of Marxism-Leninism. But after all, it is impossible to combine the revolutionary theory with the concrete practice of China's revolution, because it is far from the reality of domestic struggle. At that time, Wang Ming's "Left" dogmatic mistake appeared in Moscow. Unfortunately, Comrade Jia Xiang was also involved in this mistake.

193 1 In the summer of, Comrade Jia Xiang was sent to work in the central revolutionary base area at the same time, and was soon entrusted with the important task of director of the General Political Department of the Red Army. At this critical moment related to his life, he was good at grasping himself and gradually got rid of the mistake of "Left" dogmatism. He tried to get close to Comrade Mao Zedong and listened to Comrade Mao Zedong's views on the China revolution with an open mind. He especially respected Comrade Mao Zedong's rich experience in armed struggle and earnestly studied Comrade Mao Zedong's military theory. He greatly admired Comrade Mao Zedong's military command ability. At this time, Comrade Jia Xiang began to March towards a mature Marxist with a brand-new attitude, which was not only the positive influence of Comrade Mao Zedong, but also the result of his own independent thinking. Therefore, when the wrong line decided to cancel Comrade Mao Zedong's military post in 1932, he was one of the active opponents. It can be said that he and Wang Ming drew a clear line at that time.

After Comrade Mao Zedong was relieved of military power, Comrade Jia Xiang not only did not alienate, but further strengthened his revolutionary friendship with Comrade Mao Zedong. After the Long March began, Comrade Mao Zedong persistently persuaded many comrades in the Central Committee at that time to change the wrong military line. Comrade Jia Xiang always stood firmly on the side of Comrade Mao Zedong's correct line and helped Comrade Mao Zedong to do a lot of persuasion. Therefore, he played an important role in the Zunyi Conference to realize the great turning point of China revolution. After Zunyi Conference, Comrade Jia Xiang and Comrade Zhou Enlai were appointed as members of the Central Military Tri-member Group to assist Comrade Mao Zedong in commanding the whole army, and successfully realized the strategic shift of the Red Army.

At the beginning of 1937, Comrade Jia Xiang was sent by the Central Committee to the Communist International to introduce the revolutionary situation in China, including his personal views on the leadership of the China Party. Comrade dimitrov fully agreed with our party's political ideas and policies, and clearly put forward that our party should establish a central leadership core headed by Comrade Mao Zedong. Comrade Jia Xiang/KLOC-0 returned to China in 1938, which conveyed this correct opinion of the Communist International and played a very good role in promoting the further unity of our party.
