On February 7, five writers and 19 other CCP members were secretly shot dead by the Kuomintang Songhu Police Command in Longhua, Shanghai.
The Chinese Left-Wing Writers' Union, referred to as the Left League, is a literary organization founded by the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, China in the 1930s, when the "Left League" was founded, at the time of the defeat of the first domestic revolutionary war, the Kuomintang reactionaries on the one hand to carry out military encirclement and suppression of the revolutionary base areas, on the other hand to carry out cultural "encirclement and suppression" of the Kuomintang areas. The situation at that time urgently required the left-wing writers in Shanghai to unite in the struggle against the Kuomintang reactionaries and to attract the broad masses of the people to support their ideas.
