Since the founding of the Communist Party of China in 1921, it has regarded national liberation, national independence, and the prosperity and strength of the people as the sacred mission that the party has been unswervingly pursuing for a long time, and the Communist Party of China has made tremendous sacrifices and efforts to achieve this goal. According to the statistics of the civil affairs and organization departments, from July 1, 1921 to October 1, 1949 alone, more than 3.7 million Communist Party members could be found to have died, that is, an average of 370 Chinese Communists gave their lives every day in more than 10,000 days. What supports all Communists to go forward and succeed has always been the original intention of serving the people and the revolution. In view of the reality of the revolution, many young Party members were among the Communist Party members who sacrificed their lives, such as Deng Enming, an outstanding son and daughter of the Sandu Shui Tribe in Guizhou, who was only 31 years old at the time of his death. Today, the revolutionary martyr introduced here by xiaobian is also a guizhou person, and due to work reasons, historical materials do not describe it much, but in that era, he really did a lot of work for the party's revolutionary cause. He was born in Zhou Dawen, Zhenyuan County, Guizhou Province.

Zhou Dawen, formerly known as Zhou Dading, Russian name Qiugunov, pen name Qu Gong, born in 1903 in Zhenyuan, Guizhou, was a member of the early Communist Party of China, and a loyal revolutionary fighter who made outstanding contributions to the Chinese revolution and the international communist movement. In 1920, at the age of 17, Zhou Dawen moved to Beijing with his father, who worked in the Beijing government's Foreign Ministry, and became a senior student at the Beijing Russian Grammar and Politics College. During his four years in Beijing, Zhou Dawen was introduced to the party by Li Dazhao, devoted himself to the organization and leadership of the Communist Youth League, and served as the chairman of the All-China Federation of Students (one of the founders of the Chinese Communist Youth League), and he became a well-known social activist in the party. From 1923 to 1924, Zhou Dawen was dispatched by the party to engage in revolutionary work in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, and because of his pragmatic style and long-term public service, he translated a large number of Marxist-Leninist works, documents and letters for the CPC Central Committee, which was deeply trusted by the PARTY Central Committee. In October 1925, during the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Comintern established the "Sun Yat-sen Chinese Labor University" (referred to as "Sun Yat-sen University" or "CUHK") in Moscow, and a group of party members and progressive young people selected by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to study in the Soviet Union. Entrusted by the Party Central Committee, Zhou Dawen led 118 Chinese students to the Soviet Union. Many well-known figures from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China were gathered in this group, including Wang Jiaxiang, Zhang Wentian, Chiang Ching-kuo, and others, and since then, the Communist Party of China has successively sent people here to study, including Deng Xiaoping and others.

Because of his solid foundation in Russian, Zhou Dawen in Moscow was both a student and a teacher, engaged in teaching affairs and translation, and his Russian name was Qiugunov. His translated articles often became direct teaching materials for his students. Because of his special status and talent, Zhou Dawen was highly valued by the CPC Central Committee, the CPSU Central Committee and the Comintern, and he eagerly studied communist theory and explored the laws and methods of the Chinese revolution. In 1927, Zhou Dawen wrote to Stalin for advice on the Chinese revolution, the united front, the international situation and other issues, which was appreciated by Stalin. He quickly wrote back to Zhou Dawen, a "Letter to Qiugunov", which was later included in the ninth volume of The Complete Works of Stalin. Soon, Stalin gave a three-hour speech at Sun Yat-sen University on the issues of the Chinese revolution and the international situation, and Zhou Dawen brilliantly assumed the responsibility of simultaneous interpretation on the spot, and this speech was later included in the "Complete Works of Stalin".
Stalin's reply to Zhou Dawen in 1927
In 1936, the Soviet Union began a large-scale "purge" campaign, because Zhou Dawen's father and brother had studied in Japan, Wang Ming and Kang Sheng took advantage of the mistakes of the expansion of the movement to label Zhou Dawen as a "Trotskyist" and exiled him to the Siberian Beli region, which was freezing cold. In 1937, Wang Ming and Kang Sheng falsely accused Stalin in person, escalating Zhou Dawen's charges to "Trotsky bandits" and so on. Against the historical background of the large-scale purge campaign in the Soviet Union, on April 13, 1938, Zhou Dawen was executed in the vast Siberia.
No matter how long it takes, organizations and people will always remember their warriors. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, after a large number of investigations and visits, on December 18, 1987, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee approved the rehabilitation of Zhou Dawen, and Zhou Dawen suffered 50 years of grievances and finally got Zhaoxue; in 1988, the CPC Central Committee posthumously recognized Zhou Dawen as a revolutionary martyr.
