On July 30, 1921, a group of progressive people of ideals were gathering in a house in the French Concession to discuss the future direction, when an uninvited guest suddenly broke in, and everyone quickly dispersed and evacuated.
However, if all were evacuated, it would appear that there was no silver in this area, so someone needed to stay around, so a tall and thin man in a long coat and horse coat stayed behind, and as the owner of the house, he began to circle with the patrol.
This man, named Li Hanjun, was called "the most theoretically cultivated comrade" by Ma Lin, the representative of the Comintern, and the house that was held at that time belonged to Li Hanjun's brother.
As early as before the first congress, when Li Hanjun was transferred from Hubei to the acting secretary of the Shanghai party group, there were many corruption problems in the leadership of the trade unions and the socialist youth league, and when Li Hanjun found out, he advocated disbanding them. However, this decision was met with "public ridicule and opposition", and Chen Duxiu also wrote from Guangzhou to oppose Li Hanjun's proposal.
After the end of the first meeting, Li Hanjun, Chen Duxiu, and Zhang Guotao had great differences in ideas and could not exert their fists and feet, so they were even more discouraged and returned to their hometown in Hubei to continue to engage in communist propaganda work.
In July 1922, when the Second National Congress was convened, the organization invited Li Hanjun, but he did not attend. In 1924, Li Hanjun left the party for some reason and joined the Kuomintang two years later.
Some people may think that Li Hanjun betrayed the organization, but this is not the case, Li Hanjun's idea of joining the Kuomintang is very pure, that is, he wants to go to the revolution better, and his belief in communism has not changed in the slightest.
Li Hanjun once said: "Although I am no longer a communist, I will always be a communist, and I am still at ease." ”
Everything that happened later also confirmed his words.
After the "April 12 coup d'état," the reactionaries wantonly hunted down progressives in our party, and at this critical juncture, Li Hanjun used his official position and position in the Kuomintang to transfer more than 300 unidentified party members to work at Sun Yat-sen University and other places. In addition, nearly 300 party members and activists whose identities have been exposed and imprisoned have all been rescued from prison with the help of Li Hanjun.
In April 1927, after Li Dazhao's heroic inauguration, Li Hanjun not only attended the commemoration of Li Dazhao, but also gave a public speech without fear: "No matter when and where, there must be the determination to sacrifice!" ”
On December 17 of the same year, Hu Zongduo, commander of the Wuhan garrison, arrested Li Hanjun and his partner Zhan Dabei, who fought side by side, without interrogation or verification, and Hu Zongduo could not wait to shoot and kill them that night, Li Hanjun was only 37 years old.
In 1952, the state posthumously recognized Li Hanjun as a revolutionary martyr, and the chairman personally issued the "Honorable Commemorative Certificate for the Families of Revolutionary Martyrs", which was awarded to Li Hanjun's family.
In the early history of our party, it was generally Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu who were juxtaposed, but in fact, in terms of contributions to the study of communist theory, only Li Hanjun could be on a par with Li Dazhao, who was once called "Er Li", like Marx's "Capital", which he was the first to introduce to the Chinese system.
In addition, a large number of deputies such as Dong Biwu, Chen Tanqiu, Bao Huisheng, Wang Gemei, and Liu Renjing were all influenced by Li Hanjun, and even Dong Biwu, Elder Dong, later recalled: "(Li Hanjun) was my Marxist teacher. ”
