1939 1 February 1 China central Committee pointed out in its decision to absorb a large number of intellectuals: "In the long and cruel national liberation war and the great struggle to build a new China, the * * * production party must be good at absorbing intellectuals in order to organize great anti-Japanese forces, organize millions of peasants and develop the revolution. Comrade Liu Shaoqi, secretary of the Central China Bureau, said in his speech to the Senate in northern Jiangsu that it is necessary to develop cultural and educational undertakings in the base areas, establish universities, and cultivate and train talents for the revolutionary cause. He proposed to jiangsu provincial party committee (when the Shanghai Underground Party was led by jiangsu provincial party committee) to organize and implement this work. Liu Xiao, secretary of jiangsu provincial party committee, called relevant comrades of the provincial party committee and the Shanghai underground party to analyze the situation in the base area and Shanghai after the outbreak of the Pacific War. He believes that after the victory of Huangqiao, the anti-Japanese democratic base areas in Central China are relatively stable and the situation is very good, and a large number of intellectuals are needed to work in the base areas. 194 10 after the outbreak of the Pacific War and the Japanese occupation of the Shanghai Concession on February 8, universities and some middle schools that had been engaged in patriotic education on this "isolated island" were ordered to register by the enemy and puppet troops and implement enslavement education, otherwise they were prohibited from starting. Teachers and students in all schools are facing the crisis of unemployment and dropping out of school, and their personal safety is also threatened. Shanghai intellectuals are patriotic and have a glorious revolutionary tradition. They yearn for a free, democratic and bright anti-Japanese democratic base, continue to run schools and study, devote themselves to fierce struggles and contribute to national liberation. After studying and contacting the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, jiangsu provincial party committee decided to establish a comprehensive university in the anti-Japanese democratic base area to win more intellectuals.
Jiangsu provincial party committee founded this university with the approval of the Central China Bureau, and the military department of the New Fourth Army took the lead in solving the funds and materials. Comrade Chen Yi personally named the school "Jianghuai University". Jiangsu provincial party committee is responsible for the preparatory work, and the Shanghai underground party organization mobilizes as many teachers and students as possible to go to the base area; The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army set up a reception organization and a traffic station, and the Fourth Division transferred Shi Qing, Lin Guangqian and other comrades to form a reception station in Huaibei. Underground parties such as Han Shuzhi (Zhang Gang), Yao Qin (who was soon transferred due to other tasks) and Fang Xing went to Xinpu, Huainan, and set up a youth hostel to specially receive teachers and students from Shanghai to ensure that they could arrive at the base area safely. The Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee also decided that Changsha, the propaganda department, would be responsible for the preparations for Jiangda University, and instructed the comrades of the Provincial Cultural Committee and the Provincial Academic Committee to organize and mobilize teachers and students in Shanghai. Comrade Yimei took charge of this work after he arrived at the base area. The teachers and students who arrived at the school first concentrated in Huaibei and Huainan, and then decided to give a formal lecture in renhe group, Huaibao County, Huaibei Base of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army. From September 1942 to June 1944, it was closed for about two years.
Jiangsu provincial party committee decided, with the approval of the Central China Bureau, to appoint Wei Yun (Peng Dan) as the president of Jianghuai University. Comrade Wei Yun is a professor at Zhijiang University, Fudan University and Daxia University. He studied in America and took part in the Revolution of 1911. Later, he served as the secretary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education. He cooperated with China's * * * Production Party for a long time, and wrote for the progressive publications "Translated Newspaper" and "Shanghai Weekly" during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. Famous economist He Feng and philosopher Li Zhongrong also volunteered to teach at Jiangda University under the call of the Party. Also invited by President Wei are professors of biology, medicine, education, foreign languages and sports, such as Sun Shengzeng and Hande, directors of civil studies at Fudan University, Jiang, Ye Jiajun and Ge, professors of civil studies at Zhijiang University, Jiaotong University, Tsinghua University, Wang Shulun and Feng Bangyan of Daxia University, and two school doctors and four nurses. In order to adapt them to the life in the base area, they are also allowed to bring a chef. Their families who stayed in Shanghai have been properly arranged. At the same time, more than ten teaching assistants, including Wang Xinnan, Rong, Hong Zhijie, Xu Jingfu, Yan, etc., responded to the party's call and came to teach.
Jiang college students mainly come from Shanghai Zhijiang, Datong, Daxia, Hujiang, Soochow and other universities and Suzhou Institute of Technology, as well as some middle schools, with about 120 students in the first and second phases. Are mobilized by the party organizations of the above-mentioned schools. The two periods of college students in Jiang can be roughly divided into the following categories: one is the underground party member (18 students in the first period and 24 students in the second period) that has been noticed by the enemy and puppet troops or sent to work as a student in Jiang Daizuo; The second is the training object who has participated in the progressive activities led by the party; Third, patriotic young people who are dissatisfied with the corrupt rule of the Kuomintang, unwilling to be in conquered people under Japanese occupation and demanding anti-Japanese; Fourth, patriotic young people who want to continue their studies with the idea of saving the country by reading; Fifth, students who are dissatisfied with social and family life, disgusted with the old world addicted to money, and even unwilling to live a parasitic life of the exploiting class, some female students are dissatisfied with son preference and arranged marriage; Sixth, under the influence of teachers and friends, young students with naive and beautiful expectations. Although everyone's family background and political consciousness are different, they are consistent in demanding anti-Japanese and longing for the light. For example, there is a brother and sister among the classmates. My grandfather was a minister of war in the late Qing Dynasty, and my sister was ill at home. She was served by two servants and pampered since childhood. However, under the influence of progressive thought, she abandoned rich material comforts and resolutely left home to study at Jiangda University in the Liberated Area. Another student was stopped by his parents and sister at Shanghai North Railway Station, and resolutely persuaded the whole family to go to Jiangda. There is a classmate who is the youngest but strong-willed. In order to get rid of the obstacles of his family, he left home and lived in Shanghai for several months, waiting for the traffic police to pick him up. Some of them, regardless of their forthcoming university diplomas, resolutely joined the revolutionary melting pot of Jianghuai University.

From August of 1942 to August of1/2008, more than 0/00 teachers and students in Shanghai/kloc-0, under the proper arrangement of inner-party traffic, all arrived safely in Huainan base area through numerous checkpoints of enemies and puppet troops. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy and puppet troops, we chose two relatively safe transportation lines: one is from Zhenjiang to Yangzhou, Gaoyou and Baoying, then by boat to Chahe Town in Huaibei, and then to Renheji; A new store crossing the river from Nanjing to Huainan via Liuhe. Vencent Yang, director of the Shanghai office of the New Fourth Army, is in charge of these two routes, assisted by Qiyuan and Liu, who are in charge of traffic in the Shanghai underground party, and selects party member Shen Zenghua, Shen Naigong (Shen), Huang, Dai Shan (), Hua Zhiyi (Hua Zao) and classmate Wu Tianxian (Wu Mengsi) from the students who are going to Jiangda. Between various groups, either brother and sister are commensurate or husband and wife are commensurate. For example, a classmate of Lao Xianhong (an old man) is full of Cantonese accent and can't stand cross-examination, so he arranged a more experienced female classmate of Xu (Zuo Zheng) to act as his sister and let him pretend to be dumb. When crossing the blockade, the old man will muddle through without saying anything. As for riding on the road with the traffic police, by boat: how to follow them on foot and so on. The layout is more specific and detailed. In Baoying, a traffic reception station was also set up through the underground party county Committee. When the students were sent to the base area, everyone couldn't help singing loudly, and they were even more excited to see the soldiers of the New Fourth Army. When I arrived at the hostel, Jiang Da's leaders greeted me cordially, as if I had returned to my hometown. In September, President Wei, Professor Sun Shengzeng and Professor Gandel arrived in Huainan and were cordially received by Zhang, deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, and leading comrades of jiangsu provincial party committee. It's the Army Day of the New Fourth Army soon. Invite them to celebrate with Jiang Da's teachers and students. The meeting was presided over by Zhang, the deputy commander, and the political commissar of the Second Division spoke. President Wei also made a speech, saying that Jiang Da should be run well. At the meeting, the soldiers of the New Fourth Army gave a wonderful performance. This gathering left a deep impression on Jiang Da's teachers and students who came to the base area from the "isolated island" Shanghai.
Jiang Dayuan plans to set up four departments and general subjects of civil engineering, agronomy, medicine and education in the autumn of 1942, focusing on Huaibei and Huaibei respectively. Later, due to the enemy situation, Huaibei students concentrated in Huainan. Due to the shortage of teachers, teachers were absent and all departments failed to start classes, but the students were very enthusiastic about learning, mainly asking leading comrades of the party, government and army to make special reports. The school takes ancestral halls, temples and landlords' courtyards as school buildings, and fields and Woods as classrooms. Listen carefully, remember carefully, and study and discuss enthusiastically.
Jiang Da teachers and students who first gathered in Huaibei were warmly welcomed by leading comrades of the Party, government and army of the Fourth Division. I listened to the reports of Peng Xuefeng, political commissar of Deng Zihui, Liu Ruilong, director of Huaibei Administrative Office, and Ding Feng, propaganda minister of the district committee. Mr. Peng vividly described the international and domestic situation and the current situation of struggle between ourselves and the enemy in Huaibei area. 1942, 1 1 In June, all the teachers and students in Huaibei were invited by Mr. Peng to cross Hongze Lake, participate in the all-division sports meeting held by the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army, and watch the performances of cavalry regiment and military activities such as attacking blockhouses with earth tanks. In his speech, Peng welcomed the comrades who came to the border area to resist Japan. Conditions are poor and life is very hard. I hope that patriotic young people who come here from big cities will be tempered into steel in the revolutionary ranks and combined with workers and peasants. Mr. Peng understood the young people's love for riding and ordered the cavalry regiment to let the students practice riding. They are all very happy, enjoying the heroic mood of riders leaping to kill the enemy and galloping across the motherland. Later, I participated in a gala hosted by the Political Department of the Fourth Division, and the wonderful programs performed by Dawn Troupe amazed teachers and students from big cities. Students live near the division headquarters and visit Mr. Peng's residence in groups of three or five. The teacher always warmly welcomes everyone in his busy schedule and is approachable. At this time, the weather is already cold. Teacher Peng learned that many students ran away from home and brought few clothes, so he gave everyone a cotton-padded coat. When some students were ill, he asked the military doctor to treat them and prescribe meals for the patients. For teachers who are not good at trekking, he sends donkeys and horses instead of walking, and sends guards and special horses to President Wei. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Peng also sent moon cakes and pears. After this celebration, everyone deeply felt that the New Fourth Army, which insisted on fighting behind enemy lines, was a lovely and respectable people's army with strong military capability, strict discipline and neat equipment, and was even more convinced that it would defeat the Japanese aggressors. In order to prepare for the anti-mopping-up, the leaders informed Jiang Da teachers and students to take a boat back to Hu Jiudong. When passing through Hongze Lake, although the enemy planes strafed overhead, all the ships were calm and finally arrived safely in Renheji. A few days later, at an emergency party in the evening, Comrade Han Shuzhi, who came to Huaibei from Huainan, conveyed the leadership's order and decided that all teachers and students should immediately move to Huainan. The students set out after dark and crossed the Huaihe River at midnight. In the dark night, they had to travel on country roads. Some people still wear leather shoes and short-sighted glasses and have withstood the test of hard journey. After several days of marching, they finally arrived in Zhang on the third night. After the teachers and students of the two places are concentrated near the Huainan Military Command, the learning conditions are more favorable. Acting commander Chen Yi is very concerned about the construction of Jiangda University and the ideological life of teachers and students. In addition to the name of the school, he also held a dinner party to entertain the teachers and students of Jiangda University. 1943 On New Year's Eve, Comrade Chen Yi spent an unforgettable night with Jiang Da's teachers and students. He talked with them about the situation at home and abroad, analyzed the changes in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and talked and laughed, which inspired the students' fighting spirit and strengthened their determination to study hard. Zhang, Tan Zhenlin,,, Fang Yi, Wang Daohan, Pan Hannian, Qian Junrui, Fan Changjiang and other comrades also came to give lectures during their busy schedules. Teacher Luo talked about the Long March, Qian Junrui talked about the Southern Anhui Incident, Pan Hannian talked about the international situation and the cultural struggle in the occupied areas, Ye Qinhe talked about Shangrao concentration camp, and Fang Yi and Wang Daohan talked about the party's policy, rent reduction and interest reduction, and the three-thirds system of political power organization. These reports enabled teachers and students to understand the party's policies, broaden their horizons, and understand that the * * * production party is truly anti-Japanese, for the people and the country, and only the * * * production party can save China.
After Jiang Da joined forces, he took the time to organize himself to study the rectification documents. /kloc-in the winter of 0/942, the Japanese aggressors prepared to "mop up" the Huainan base area, and the military and civilians in the base area actively prepared to "mop up" the roads and completely clear the field. Because of Jiang Da's ambitious goal, he decided to evacuate temporarily and "ambush" in the countryside of the border area. President Wei and professors were transferred with the leading organs. During the "ambush", many students took part in the local winter school work; Some of them are divided into several groups, engaged in rural surveys, mingled with farmers' lives, carried water and did everything in the fields. For example, students like Xi Luqi (Jin Min) are also praised by the school district.
Because the soldiers and civilians in the base area were fully prepared for the "mopping up", the Japanese aggressors dared not act rashly. Soon we got together again and successfully conducted a pre-war exercise. At this time, Jiang Da established a student party branch, with Shen Naigong as the party branch secretary, Shen Zenghua as the deputy party branch secretary, and Hou Zhongshu, Hua Zhiyi and Qiu Zhuangxin as party branch members.
The party branch work at this stage was led by the Central China Bureau at first, and then by the Huainan Road East Committee. The main focus of the work is to organize political study, discuss the feelings after listening to the report, and establish a revolutionary outlook on life; When conducting investigation and research in rural areas, we should overcome the idea of being afraid of dirt and suffering and change the style of young ladies and gentlemen in big cities. By listening to the current situation, the party's policies and the reports of the current struggle in the base areas, teachers and students actually received vivid political education classes and the party's traditional education. He also participated in the Political Council of the Border Region and the Agricultural Anti-Japanese General Association of Lule Eight Counties, studied and discussed with the comrades attending the meeting, witnessed the democratic election of the masses and experienced the democratic spirit of the "three-thirds system" regime; Later, he also participated in the Border Women's Congress and the Winter School Movement, and many students served as winter school teachers.
Although the Japanese "mopping up" plot failed, it is still ambitious and is still brewing a larger "mopping up". In order to ensure the safety of teachers and students of Jiangda University, the leaders mobilized everyone to go back to Shanghai temporarily in the early spring of 1943. Wang Daohan, deputy director of Huainan Administrative Office, personally came to the school to mobilize, asking students to understand the truth of "staying in the green hills, not afraid of burning firewood" and wait until the situation improves and the environment is stable before entering the school. Because teachers and students have established deep feelings with the soldiers and civilians in the base area, they all want to stay here and participate in the struggle against "mopping up", so it is quite difficult for the party branch to mobilize. After patient persuasion, everyone put the overall situation first and expressed their obedience to the organizational decision. The students cried while singing "Military Songs of the New Fourth Army" and "Yellow Water Ballad". Finally, except for five students who are not suitable to work in the Shanghai base area, the rest are unwilling to return to Shanghai in batches.
This is the early Jiangda, which only lasted for more than half a year, but what an extraordinary day it was! In the history of students, this is indeed a precious experience deeply engraved in the heart.

Jiang Da students returned to Shanghai one after another to "ambush". According to the instructions of the Jiangda Party Branch and the Shanghai Underground Party, firstly, it is necessary to hide well and there will be no problems; Second, arrange some transportation for party member and students, keep in touch with you and do ideological work well. Students who return to Shanghai are required to learn as many skills as possible in order to better create conditions for study and work after returning to the base area. So some students go to learn shorthand, review foreign languages, learn Chinese and English typing, go to radio technical school and learn driving skills. Some students volunteered to take risks and carried forward Jiang Da's good style of unity and mutual assistance. I take my classmates who are inconvenient to go home to their own homes and get along like sisters and brothers. I spent half a year like this.
1in the spring of 943, Comrade Chen Yi was hospitalized due to illness, and invited President Wei to meet him, which conveyed the confidence of the CPC Central Committee in "winning the victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression", and pointed out that Jiang Da had not started school at present, but he had to stick to it and asked him to prepare for it. In June and July, Jiang Da's notice of starting school arrived in Shanghai. Except for a few students who have been assigned jobs by the Shanghai underground party and some who have not been informed in time because of dispersion and concealment, most of them will return to school soon. Eighty-eight students who "ambushed" in Shanghai and came to school gathered in Renhe again.
1943101On October 5th, Jianghuai University held a grand opening ceremony in Renhe, Huaibei base area. Chen Yi, Zhang, Peng Xuefeng, Fan Changjiang, and other leading comrades attended in person, and responsible comrades from the district, the High School Attached to Kangda University and Huaibao Middle School all sent representatives to attend. The venue is located in the playground in front of the girls' dormitory, which is simple and solemn. The students also held an exhibition in the form of wall newspaper, reporting their study, life and ideological changes after they arrived at Jiangda University. The meeting was presided over by President Wei. After the speech, Chen, Peng and other comrades spoke successively, which greatly inspired and educated all teachers and students. In the afternoon, leaders and guests visited male and female dormitories and classrooms. After the dinner in the evening, the students wrote and performed the clips of Chongqing in Fog, operas and other cultural programs.
The new semester has begun, and the classroom is located in an ancestral hall. President Wei teaches English, and the teachers in the school also attend classes separately. Teacher Li Zhongrong's philosophy class is very popular. There are two departments of general education and civil engineering, and some departments can't offer classes because they don't have teachers. Because students come from different schools, there are college students of all grades and some high school students with different levels, the class is divided into three classes, such as ABC, but everyone studies hard, and the students in Class C always seize every opportunity to advance. Self-study time is also very tight, and the atmosphere of mutual learning is very active. This is mainly because the purpose of learning is very clear, and you know who to study for, so every student can listen and review consciously, actively and seriously.
At this time, Jiang Da established the later Party branch. The deputy secretary of Huaibei District Party Committee held a meeting and announced that five comrades, including Shen, Hou Zhongshu, Xu (), Chu Qiyuan and Wang (Li Yao), would form the Party branch committee. It is clear that the Central China Bureau entrusts the defense branch to lead the Jiangda branch, and the specific work is led by Comrade Qiu, director of the school's political department. Comrade Shen served as the party branch secretary of this issue. Hou Zhongshu is responsible for the United front work outside the student union work, Xu is responsible for the organization work, Chu Qiyuan is responsible for the propaganda work, and Wang is responsible for the security work. Comrade Qiu is very concerned about the work of the Jiangda branch, and often reports to the Cultural Affairs Committee, keeping a close eye on ideological work. She stressed that the work of Jiangda Branch must be realistic, not mysterious, suitable for young people's psychology, lively and meticulous, and good at uniting the masses. The party's ideological education has basically caught both ends. First, arrest the activists trained by the Shanghai underground party, continue to inspect and train them, and ask them to play a key role in study, work and labor to prepare for their joining the party in the future; At the other end, a few students who are not stable enough after entering the base area will be assigned to party member or party activists according to the method of opening a lock with a key, so as to do the work of contacting the masses in a targeted manner. Because the branch school of Jiangda was not open at that time, the party's work was mainly carried out through student meetings. The Student Union is democratically elected by students, with Hou Zhongshu as the chairman and students such as Chu Qiyuan, Wu Tianxian, Chen Nanhua (Chen Feng) and Zhu as members, who are in charge of secretarial work, general affairs, study, life and entertainment. During this period, the work of the student union under the leadership of the Party branch was very active and outstanding. The party branch of Jiangda University has the characteristics of strong organizational discipline and active mass work, and has the style of seeking truth from facts. On holidays or anniversaries, students should be organized to study and discuss, such as the "September 18th" anniversary, and each room should be used as a group to discuss "Who is the real anti-Japanese patriot?" The group meeting is both serious and active. /kloc-at the end of 0/942, a bonfire party was held to welcome the new year. Mid-Autumn Festival in September, 1943. In the evening, I enjoyed the moon party on the boat and created and performed festivals. The students are happy and close. In order to cultivate students' revolutionary outlook on life and change the phenomenon that students from cities despise labor, students were organized to weave green bamboo poles into bamboo raft beds with their own hands, and a masonry road from girls' dormitory to canteen was paved, which solved the difficulty of slippery roads in rainy days. In order to cultivate students' feelings of serving workers and peasants, students and nurses with medical knowledge are organized to deliver babies and treat diseases for farmers. In order to make students establish the concept of self-reliance and adequate food and clothing, organize students to grow their own vegetables and basically achieve self-sufficiency, which not only saves food and money, but also improves their lives. In winter, students are also taken out to help the village run a winter school. Both culture and current affairs education are very popular among farmers. Because students are influenced by the base revolution, they hope that the teaching content can be combined with the actual struggle, and put forward the requirements of reforming the existing curriculum and teaching methods. When discussing the policy of running a school, the student union once asked Jiang Da to talk about the international situation on behalf of Comrade Yimei. His speech is easy to understand and very popular with his classmates. At the same time, Sun Shuping, a teacher from Hangzhou University, was invited to teach "China Revolution and China * * * Production Party" and teach himself "Speech at Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art".
According to the characteristics of young people, the party branch also carried out heart-to-heart talks and mutual learning activities. Divide the room into support groups and organize a heart-to-heart talk. The whole school also held an essay contest, and the articles of Wang Zhonglan, Yao Shouyi and Lu Jun (Lu Qingxian) were rated as the best works. There is a singing group in the school, and a singing group is set up in the unit of room. Room-to-room competitions are often held in full swing. At that time, there was an outstanding conductor in Jiang Da's singing team-Zheng Yikun. /kloc-admitted to Zhijiang university at the age of 0/6. He not only has good grades, but also has a talent for music. He plays the harmonica very well, and knows the violin, guitar, huqin and piano. It can be said that he knows everything. He teaches songs seriously. Sometimes everyone sings not well enough, and some people are out of tune. He instructed again and again. (Shortly after the start of the war of self-defense, Comrade Zheng Yikun went to the front with Dawn Troupe and was seriously injured. When he left the front line, he was bombed by Kuomintang planes and died on a canal boat. He is only 2 1 year old. )
At that time, the defense branch was very close to Jiangda, and the defense classmates were responsible for protecting the safety of Jiangda like big brothers and big sisters. Jiang Da and Jiang Da often hold parties. Kangda's study showroom, weapons handed over by the enemy, dormitories and simple assembly places are all objects for students to study and visit. Comrade Kang Da also invited Japanese friends who joined the anti-war alliance to perform traditional Japanese dances. The students all realized the incomparable power of the just war against fascism and the correctness of the party's captive policy. Every time Jiangda and Kangda get-together activities, they will hold ball games such as basketball and volleyball. At that time, Jiangda's nine-member volleyball team could compete with Kangda, and whenever such a competition was held, it was even more massive and reached the climax of the party.
Students' union often organizes democratic life meetings and group activities according to dormitories. Some students suggested that one should have the necessary military knowledge to live in a war environment behind enemy lines. In his speech at the opening ceremony, Mr. Peng made it clear that teachers from Kangda University can be invited to attend military classes, learn the necessary military knowledge, and organize sentries to be on duty, reconnaissance, emergency assembly, and marching at night. Do a good job in ideological preparation and organizational preparation against "mopping up" at any time. Students will invite senior high school students in time; Chen Bingde, a teacher from our school, came to our school for a military class, and organized everyone to carry out military training as much as they could. At the end of 1943, the superior was informed that if there is any enemy situation, it must act quickly. The guard class consists of students with strong physique, such as Lu Si (Lu), Zhang Keyu, and (). Each of them issued grenades and immediately began to March in an emergency, all of whom were vigorously engaged in combat training. From then on, military training during the day and standing guard at night strengthened the concept of the enemy. In order to make students widely contact with the society and enrich their knowledge in practice,1March, 944, six civil engineering students, including (Zhang Wen), Zhu Mingxun, Shen Hua (), Wang (Jin Jian), Zheng Yikun and Zhao, were sent to participate in the Huaihe River Regulation Project led by the Party Committee of Huaibei area. Students also conducted rural surveys in groups to understand the class situation in rural areas and the life changes of poor farm labourers, learn from working people, and participate in the work of reducing rents and interest rates. When the work comes to an end, summarize, accumulate experience and raise awareness so as to better study and understand the party's policies.
1in the spring of 944, the situation between the enemy and ourselves changed fundamentally, and the Japanese aggressors gradually lost on the Pacific front. Hitler was teetering under the severe blow of the Soviet Red Army and the Anglo-American Coalition forces, and it was difficult to protect himself. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fought successfully behind enemy lines, and the base areas behind enemy lines developed rapidly. The fourth division also eradicated 44 enemy and puppet strongholds in Huaibei, and the base area was expanded. Due to the development of work, there is an urgent need to supplement a large number of cadres, and Jiangda itself is not good to continue because of the lack of teachers; The students also asked to leave the school gate and participate in the construction of the border area. After research by leaders, the demands of the students were accepted, so Jiangda ended, and the students (including the newly developed eight party member) were all arranged by the military department and local party committees. Before the assignment, the Party Committee of Huaibei District also invited Xie Bangzhi, Vice Minister of Organization Department, Pan Qi, Director of Education, Liu Chongguang, Director of Construction, Zeng, Director of Youth Rescue Association, and other leaders to give a report to the students and introduce the situation. 1June, 944, the students left President Wei according to their own wishes, specialties and work needs, with unforgettable feelings for their alma mater and ambition to actively participate in the revolution, and went to new combat posts separately to play a role in propaganda, organization, news, education, health, democracy movement and other fronts in the base area. A few months before this, that is,1April 1944, five female students, including Wang Jiashun (Jia Shun), Scarlett (Scarlett) and Xing (Lin Zheng), were assigned to the Health Department of Huainan New Fourth Army to study medical work in advance. The last part of the students participated in the summer harvest task force of Huaibei District Committee, and after three months of rent reduction and interest reduction in the border area, they were officially assigned jobs.
Jianghuai University has been held for two times, with more than 20 students/kloc-0. It has absorbed a group of patriotic professors into the base area and persisted behind enemy lines for about two years, leaving a glorious page in the United front and education history of our party. Jiang Da teachers and students, from President Wei to the vast majority of students, later grew up to be glorious party member. After liberation, Comrade Wei Yun was the vice mayor of Shanghai and the vice minister of the Ministry of Education of the Central People's Government, and later died of overwork. Zheng Yikun and Jiang Wenhua died gloriously in the war; Yu Hualiang was killed in a plane crash as a staff member attending the Bandung Conference. Tian Chao (Lou), Gu Yun (Tian Jiahe), Jiang Jiahua (Jiang Hua), Huang and Dai Shan passed away. President Wei and these students gave their lives for the China revolution, which deserves our eternal memory.
The founding process of Jianghuai University shows the foresight of the leading comrades of the New Fourth Army, the Central China Bureau and jiangsu provincial party committee, and reflects the correctness of the policy of winning over intellectuals more widely and further expanding the United front. Over the past two years, it has been proved that this new comprehensive university, which appeared in the anti-Japanese democratic base area of Central China of the New Fourth Army, is an anti-Japanese revolutionary university. In more than two years, students have been trained and improved in this melting pot, so that this group of intellectuals from big cities resolutely devoted themselves to the fiery revolutionary struggle when the school was closed, laying a good foundation for future struggle and work.
40 years ago, Jiangda was the cradle of revolution that nurtured young people. As Du Fu said in his poem, "The wind and snow in Jianghuai bring up new recruits, and it takes a hundred trials and forty springs. Dream back to prance half a town, heart singing willow shadow. Tears are in full bloom and grass is in full bloom. Today * * * celebrates the goodness of China, and the elderly have childlike innocence. " This poem represents the aspirations of all the teachers and students of Jiangda University, and I would like to take it as the conclusion of the school history. (School History Compilation Group of Jianghuai University)
