In March 1946, Zhong Qing was transferred to the Party committee of Jinxi County (today's Huludao City) as the head of the organization department. He died bravely on February 2, 1948. He was only 31 when he died. Today, the tomb of martyr Zhong Qing is built on the hillside of Lingshan West Mountain in Huludao, which is a demonstration base of patriotism education in Huludao.

Everyone has a lot of things that are easy to touch and hard to forget. Many people in Jinxi County, who are in their 50s and 60s, think of the martyr Zhong Qing who died in the war of liberation. Their feelings are like the floodgates open and they can't restrain themselves. The scenes of fighting in full swing immediately appear in front of them (1) Zhong Qing, formerly known as Hao Zhongqing, was born in June 1918 in a farmer's home in stable village, Shixia Township, Liao county (now Zuoquan county), Shanxi Province. He was smart, hardworking, frugal and amiable. He lost his mother at the age of 7 and his father at the age of 9. He has been living with his grandfather. He went to school at the age of 8, and later entered the civilian school in the county town. He studied hard and got good grades. He was among the best in every exam. He dropped out of school at the age of 13 and worked as a farmer. In 1936, the Japanese aggressor forces stepped up the war of aggression against China, and the Chinese nation was at a critical juncture. By this time, the Red Army of workers and peasants under the leadership of the Communist Party of China had completed the world-famous 25000 Li Long March and reached northern Shaanxi. Some of the Red Army crossed the Yellow River eastward and entered Shanxi to publicize the political ideas of resisting Japan and saving the country, and to preach the revolutionary truth of the poor turning over to seek liberation. This exciting news soon spread to Liao County, inspiring and inspiring people who did not want to be slaves, especially some young students. In November, an upsurge of Anti Japanese and national salvation was set off all over Shanxi. Hao Xijiang, Zhong Qing's uncle and brother, took part in the Shanxi sacrifice and national salvation League organized by the Communist Party. After that, he went back to his hometown to find Zhong Qing and mobilize him to participate in the revolution. Since then, Zhong Qing, Zhang Shufan, Xu Bing, Wang Shumao and others joined in the Anti Japanese and national salvation. In 1937, Zhong Qing participated in the party's underground working group, often engaged in secret activities in other places. The next year, Zhang Shufan introduced him to the Communist Party of China. In 1941, Liao county was divided into two counties, Liaoxi county was occupied by the enemy and Liaodong county was liberated. Liaodong County governs seven districts. Zhong Qing served as the Secretary of the second district Party committee. In the same year, he served as the Secretary of the Organization Department of the county Party committee, and later as the chief of the organization section. In May 1943, Zhong Qing went to Yan'an to study. Before he left, he went home for only one night and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he said to his wife, "after I leave, I can't come back often. You should take good care of your grandfather and children.". The next day, he walked from Taihang prefectural Party committee to Yan'an Central Party school and studied in six departments. At the beginning of September 1945, Zhong Qing and Donggan regiment rushed from Yan'an to Northeast China. This cadre group had to leave a number of cadres in all places, and Zhong Qing was left in Chaoyang County of Rehe Province as secretary of the Chengguan District Party committee. At this time, he changed his name to Zhong Qing. In March 1946, Zhong Qing was transferred to the Party committee of Jinxi County as the head of the organization department until February 2, 1948. He was only 31 when he died. (2) Comrade Zhong Qing is politically firm, keeps close ties with the masses, lives frugally and bravely bears heavy burdens, which has left a deep impression on the people. He never cares about his personal gains and losses. After he came to work in Northeast China, he served as secretary of the district Party committee and director of organization. During the period of transfer, he was arranged to be an ordinary cadre. He did his work well without any complaints. In order to win the revolution, Comrade Zhong Qing paid attention to saving bit by bit. In September 1945, Zhong Qing served as secretary of Chengguan District Party committee of Chaoyang County. At that time, the district government received a lot of enemy and puppet materials, including coats and cloth. He was in charge of the key to the warehouse. It's getting colder and colder. Some comrades put forward to take out some cloth to make cotton padded clothes. He said, "we should save some money. Now we are at war." In the end, he just took out some white cloth and made a shirt for everyone. In March 1946, when he was transferred to Jinxi County to appoint the Minister of organization, he was dressed in coarse cloth, blue cloth belt around his waist, and big shoes on his feet. People who knew him knew that he was minister Zhong Qing, but those who didn't thought he was just an ordinary soldier. He has been working in Jinxi for more than 2 years and has never changed a new dress. The winter coat was brought from Yan'an. Comrade Zhong Qing often goes to the border areas with the first and second district teams. The border areas, which are the areas where the enemy and us are pulling together, are in a bad environment and in a tense situation. Sometimes they are transferred to several places overnight for accommodation. Every time he went to a residence, he would first see how the comrades lived and whether they had borrowed quilts. But he himself often does not cover the quilt, sleeps on the board cabinet or the long stool in the evening and lies down in his clothes. Once comrades found that he did not have a quilt and insisted on giving it to him. He had no choice but to choose the smallest and thinnest quilt to cover it. Late at night, he saw that some comrades were cold asleep, and he covered his own bed with a cover. Zhong Qing suffered from severe pulmonary tuberculosis due to overwork. However, he never showed himself in front of his comrades. He fought against the disease tenaciously and continued to work selflessly. In order to take care of his health, the county Party committee gave him a horse to ride, but he seldom rode it. He often rode it for sick soldiers or used it to carry things. Zhong Qing had a close relationship with cadres and soldiers and was able to get along with the masses. He speaks with a Shanxi accent, which is difficult for people in Northeast China to understand. However, the masses are willing to approach him, reflect the situation to him and find him to solve the difficulties. In the winter of 1946, the soldiers not only did not wear cotton padded clothes, but also did not wear cotton hats. The county government took out some homespun cloth and cotton and mobilized the women in the villages of the liberated areas to make cotton hats. When everyone worried that they would not do it, some women came to minister Zhong, so Zhong Qing and the women began to make hats together. He made a demonstration for everyone. He cut the sample first and then sewed it up. He was very meticulous and skilled. This task was completed quickly under his leadership. He is calm and good at thinking. On one occasion, on the way to transfer, the enemy attacked frequently, often just after the troops had settled down, the enemy came with their buttocks. According to the analysis of various situations, Zhong Qing felt that there were internal problems. He immediately discussed with the district chief that in order to prevent accidents, he burned the relevant documents in a cave near yaoeryingzi. A few days later, the newly adapted district team defected. However, due to the prior arrangement, no loss was suffered. When Zhong Qing worked in the border areas, he fought with the enemy almost every day. On one occasion, the Kuomintang united defense forces invaded the liberated areas, and the landlord armed huazi team also became active. Under the command of Zhong Qing, our first district team launched the battle of chasing and annihilating Xu Hongkui's huazi team in the border area. One night, our Comrade lived in yejiagou and was suddenly surrounded by huazi team. Cadres and soldiers responded calmly and bravely out of the encirclement. We are safe and sound, killing and injuring one enemy each. In conclusion, Zhong Qing encouraged everyone to say: "we should not be afraid of the bad environment. As long as we keep a high degree of vigilance and calm in case of trouble, we will certainly be able to turn the loss into victory.". 1、 After working in the second district was basically stable, he went to work in hongluoshan, the border area of the fourth district. In the winter of 1947, Zhong Qing led the territorial reform team to liangshuijingzi, beidinanzi and jiangjiatun in the four districts to mobilize the masses to fight against hegemony. (3) in the early morning of February 2, 1948, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhong Qing took two pistols to attend the mass meeting arranged on the first day without paying attention to food. As soon as he arrived at the fourth group of farmers' Association compound in jiangjiatun, he saw an old man running to report that Cao Rongxuan, the huazi team, had led more than 100 people. In order not to let the masses suffer, Zhong Qing immediately fired a gun to call the police and informed the cadres and the masses to move quickly. Huazi team rushed to the place where the gun was fired, and the gunfire was loud. Zhong Qing ran out of the gate and retreated to the west road. Huazi team tracking pursuit, Zhongqing hands with a gun, fight back, while playing while withdrawing. When she ran out of the west gate of jiangjiatun, Zhong Qing hung flowers on her right hand. After the door, the west is boundless wilderness, there is no place to hide. When he ran to the east of the small temple of the old Shi family, the huazi team after him shot at Zhong Qing, and Zhong Qing was knocked down. He climbed tenaciously into a small pit, raised his pistol with his left hand and returned fire to the enemy until the last bullet was fired The blood of the martyrs dyed the land of western Liaoning red, and the beloved Comrade Zhong Qing left the world.
