Life of the characters

Liu Daoyi

(1884-1906), formerly known as Jitang, the word Bingsheng, No.1 peixiong. His ancestral home was Hengshan. He rented Liu Yizong and moved to yangliuchong, baishipu county. When his father Fang Yi was a brave soldier in the Xiang army camp, he released Lin Di Rong, the captured commander-in-chief of the Taiping army, and fled to badouchong, huacalyx township of the county, where he was renamed PENGYUAN. Liu Yuyi was intelligent when he was a child. At the age of five or six, he entered a private school to read "Mencius" and was able to recite it. He is cheerful, eloquent and sharp. Later, he went to Yizhi school in the county and xiuye school in Changsha to study. Influenced by the revolutionary trend and his elder brother Kuiyi, he was radical in thought. After reading the biography of Zhu xuhou in the book of Han Dynasty, I appreciated the saying that "those who are not the seed of it should be eradicated". In 1904, Huang Xing and Liu Kui organized a revolutionary group Huaxing meeting in Changsha. He first joined and participated in the preparatory activities of Changsha uprising. In February, he was admitted to Japan with excellent results. After the eastward migration, ten people, such as Qiu Jin and Huang Renzhang in Tokyo, organized the "ten people association" for the purpose of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring China. Later, he joined with Qiu Jin and others in the Hongmen heaven earth meeting organized by Feng Ziyou and others in Yokohama. In August of the 31st year of Guangxu, he joined the Chinese alliance established in Tokyo as secretary and secretary, and handled foreign affairs. Huang Xing said that he was "a great figure in future diplomacy." In the autumn of the 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, he, Qin Zhen, Cai shaonan and others were sent back to Hunan to "campaign the new army and revive the party" and prepare an armed uprising. Gong Chuntai, the leader of the Pingxiang liaison Association, arrived in Changsha and invited dozens of revolutionary comrades to hold a meeting on the ship of shuiluzhou. He put forward a five point action plan. The appointment was expected to be made at the end of the year when the Qing officials sealed. Shortly after the meeting, the Ping Liu Li uprising led by Cai shaonan and Gong Chuntai broke out ahead of schedule on June 19. The Qing army was defeated many times. The Qing government dispatched troops from several provinces of Hunan and Jiangxi to suppress the uprising. At this time, he moved the new army in Changsha and other places to prepare for the uprising at the end of the year, which attracted the attention of the Qing officials. He was arrested by the Qing army on the way back to Changsha from Hengshan. "If he is tortured, then I will be Liu Kuiyi. I will die on behalf of my brother. I will make up my mind." On the wall of the prison, there is a poem that says, "what should I cherish If I give up my life for this day, and heaven's ambition in saving the world is empty.". In the early Qing Dynasty, officials suspected that he was Liu Kuiyi and extorted a confession by torture. In his confession, he wrote a few thousand words about the cruelty of the Qing government, the danger of China and world politics, which made the interrogators astonished. The officials of the Qing Dynasty made a list of ten people again and forced them to be confessed to the same party. He resolutely refused and was tortured again. He scolded loudly and said: "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If he dies, he will die!" the Qing officials found out that he was not Liu Kuiyi and was not guilty, so they took the seal engraved with "chufei" as evidence of crime and sentenced him to death. On November 16 (December 31, 1906), he was killed outside Liuyang gate in Changsha. He was only 22 years old. The murder spread to Tokyo, and the headquarters of the alliance held a memorial meeting. Huang Xing and Liu Kui held each other, wept and wrote poems to mourn. Sun Yat Sen wrote an elegy with tears: "half Bi, three Chuxiong in the southeast, Liu Lang died, dominating tukong. The remaining situation is very difficult. Who is the same as Si people. Fill the horse with the wind of autumn, and weep for the setting sun in China. When to drink the Huanglong wine and hold the river for the first time The members of the alliance studying in Japan were very sad and asked to return to China for revolution. The revolution of 1911 finally broke out in the third year of Xuantong.

In the first year of the Republic of China, Sun Wen, the provisional president of the Republic of China, issued the order of ordering Huang Xing to pay tribute to Liu Dao. The order said: "the martyrs have been working hard in the revolution, and they have been working harder and harder. It is a great achievement to contact all parties and encourage the people. They should be allowed to be listed in the martyrs' ancestral hall of the Great Han Dynasty and share the festival together, and the facts should be publicized to the National History Museum for biography. " In the same year, the martyr's loyal bones moved from huacalyx township to Yuelu Mountain, and his wife Caozhuang was buried with him.

In the second year of the Republic of China, the County Council decided to change Xuanhua Street's original defense department into a martyr's temple. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was renamed "martyr Liu's ancestral hall" as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

In March 1912, he was moved here from Xiangtan. His wife Caozhuang was buried with him,
