On May 21, 1927, after Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, Xu Kexiang rebelled against the revolution in Hunan and arrested and killed* There are more than a hundred communists and revolutionary masses.

Red May Movement
1. As early as April 1930, the Qiongya Special Committee called for a "Red May" military offensive. Backbone sabotage teams, propaganda teams, transportation teams, ambulance teams, etc. took the lead in launching the Red May Movement.
2. In March 1932, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Resolution on the Red May Movement" which stated: The central task of the Communist Party of China is to mobilize millions of workers and peasants To oppose the imperialist attack on the Soviet Union, to oppose the world war, to oppose the imperialist carving up of China, and to oppose the imperialist and Kuomintang attacks on the Chinese revolution. It was clearly pointed out: "Use revolutionary war to crush the Kuomintang's new attack on the Soviet areas and the Red Army" and "Strive for the first victory of the revolution in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces"! Under the guidance of the "Resolution" of the Party Central Committee, the Red May Movement was launched in both Soviet areas and revolutionary base areas!
Looking back on the past, each and every piece of blood-stained history has carved too many stories of unyielding struggle, bloodshed and sacrifice, and experienced too much suffering and oppression. I am happy to see that today, the Chinese nation has created more and more confidence and pride, and has won more and more respect and trust... We cannot forget history! May, we always remember it!
