Meet these great martyrs through interactive videos
    2021-07-19  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Interactive video installations are on display at MixC World in Nanshan District. Passers-by can watch the videos to learn the stories of five Chinese martyrs: Deng Enming (played by Gao Weiguang), Qu Qiubai (played by Xiong Ziqi), Fang Zhimin (played by Wang Kai), Xiang Jingyu (played by Sun Yi) and Chen Yannian (played by Zhang Wanyi)

When he was only 20 years old, Deng (1901-1931) was one of the participants in the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1921. He also organized several workers’ and peasants’ movements in Shandong Province. In 1931 at age 30, he was arrested by the Kuomintang and was executed.

Qu (1899-1935) was a prominent CPC leader in the late 1920s and early 1930s. In addition to being a revolutionary, he is considered one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century in China. He had been a Moscow correspondent for two Chinese newspapers and had translated several Russian books. He was the first person in China to translate the lyrics of the renowned song “The Internationale” into Chinese in 1920. Qu joined the CPC in 1922 and later was elected to the Party’s Central Committee. In 1935 he was captured by a Kuomintang troop and subsequently killed.

Fang (1899-1935) joined the CPC in 1924 and had organized peasants’ uprising and set up revolutionary bases in Jiangxi Province and at the intersection of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.

He was captured by Kuomintang troops in 1935 in a battle. To the surprise of the Kuomintang soldiers who body-searched him in the hope of finding some valuables, Fang, a high-level official of the Red Army, carried not a single coin, only an old fountain pen and a watch.

In his essay “Honest Poverty,” he wrote “To remain honest though poor, to live a clean and simple life — that is what we revolutionaries count on to overcome innumerable difficulties!” In another famous essay “Lovely China,” he described patriotism and sacrifice. At age 36, Fang was killed in Nanchang by the Kuomintang.

Xiang (1895-1928) was one of the earliest female members of the CPC and widely regarded as a pioneer of the women’s movement in China. At age 33, she was arrested by the Kuomintang and then executed.

Chen Yannian (1898-1927), the first son of Chen Duxiu, a co-founder of the CPC, joined the CPC in 1922. He had been a CPC leader in Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces and was captured by the Kuomintang in 1927. At age 29, he was executed in Shanghai.

The five martyrs in the videos are played by popular stars. Zhang Wanyi reprises his role of Chen Yannian after playing the young revolutionary in the hit TV drama “The Age of Awakening.” The award-winning series shows how Chinese pioneering intellectuals and young people in the early 1900s strove to save the nation and the bumpy road they faced in the lead-up to the establishment of the CPC.
