Slow Talk at Fuli | Paying Tribute to Heroes, Remembering Wang Chuanfu, a Revolutionary Martyr from Luzhi-Luzhi Tourism_Luzhi Ancient Town 4A-level Tourist Scenic Area

Wang Chuanfu, born in 1920, was a native of Luzhi Town, Wuxian County, and resided at Dongshishang Tang Street in Luzhi. From an early age, he grew up in a happy and harmonious family, where he was the second child. In his youth, he attended Shude Middle School in Suzhou. In 1936, he enrolled at Lida College in Shanghai and took part in the school’s student protest movement. While studying in Shanghai, Wang Chuanfu came into contact with numerous revolutionary books and periodicals, and frequently discussed them with his maternal cousin, Wang Shaozeng, which helped to awaken his revolutionary consciousness.

In 1937, following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Wang Chuanfu, feeling unable to serve his country, resolved to journey to northern Shaanxi to join the revolutionary cause. Before setting out, he penned a heartfelt letter to his parents back home, expressing his deep love for his nation and its people, as well as his unwavering determination to take part in the revolution.

At the end of that same year, Wang Chuanfu underwent intensive training at the Eighth Route Army Office’s Cadet Unit in Linfen, Shanxi, and at the Liu Village Cadet Unit in Linfen, where he systematically studied the fundamental theories of Marxism–Leninism as well as the works of Comrade Mao Zedong. During this period of concentrated study, he joined the Communist Party of China. Upon completing his training, Wang Chuanfu was assigned to work at the New Fourth Army headquarters in southern Anhui, serving successively as a political instructor, a political guide, and an acting head of the Propaganda and Education Section in the Third Detachment’s Training Team and the Fifth Regiment. His solid cultural foundation and fervent enthusiasm for his work further strengthened his revolutionary resolve.

In January 1941, the “Southern Anhui Incident” erupted. During the breakout, Wang Chuanfu was unfortunately captured and subsequently imprisoned in the Qifengyan, Licun, Shidi, Zhoutian, and Maojialing prisons of the Shangrao Concentration Camp in Jiangxi. While in captivity, he risked his life to compile the “Chronological Table of a Century of the Chinese Revolution,” which he shared with his fellow prisoners for study and discussion. He rallied his comrades, persevered in the struggle, and secretly established the “Five-Person Escape Committee.”

On the afternoon of May 25, 1941, Wang Chuanfu organized an uprising to break out of prison. To cover his comrades’ safe escape, he was shot in the foot and fell to the ground, only to be recaptured by the enemy and subjected to brutal torture. Despite the enemy’s relentless interrogation and torture, Wang Chuanfu remained silent. On May 28, 1942, the enemy buried him alive, and Wang Chuanfu heroically gave his life at the young age of 22.
