Liu Hulan
Tags
Summary
In a place called Yunzhouxi Village in Wenshui County, Shanxi Province, the girl Liu Hulan was born. In those years the reactionary warlord Yan Xishan ran roughshod over Shanxi, and local tyrant landlords committed all manner of outrages; such evils planted seeds of hatred in the girl's heart. Then the Red Army arrived, not only striking down the reactionaries but shining light into Liu Hulan's heart. From then on she understood the meaning of revolution, and in this period she became a glorious member of the Communist Party. In 1947 Liu Hulan was unfortunately arrested and finally died a heroic death at only fifteen. Mao Zedong wrote for her: "Great in life, glorious in death."
