Zhang Zhenwu, the founder of the 1911 Revolution and the Wuchang Uprising
Zhang Zhenwu, a revolutionary patriot, was born in Zhushan County, Shiyan City. After graduating from Zhushan County Higher School, he successively studied in Hubei Normal School and Waseda University in Japan. While looking for ways to save the country and the people, he also practiced battle array techniques. In 1907, Zhang Zhenwu joined the League and took the post of liaison. In the same year, he returned to China and taught in Wuchang Huanghelou Street Primary School.
When he was teaching in primary school, he actively carried out social activities, held speech meetings, sports clubs and public schools, preached the revolutionary spirit, contacted revolutionary comrades, and made a key foreshadowing for the early revolution of Wuchang Uprising.
Two years later, the revolutionaries gained momentum. Zhang Zhenwu was absorbed by the Communist Party of China and helped Sun Wu establish the headquarters in Hubei Province. During this period, the revolutionaries became sellers and paid for the revolution. In 1911, the spark of Wuchang Uprising started. The main leading group of the First Uprising was the Communist Party of China, which was established by the Hubei Literature Society and the former Chinese tourists in Japan. Their common aspiration was to "revive the Han Dynasty, return to our country, make contributions to our country, and retire after success.".
At that time, when the Qing government suppressed the "road protection movement", the Qing army in Hubei was adjusting the defense of Sichuan, and the three towns were empty, so it was urgent to cite justice. Zhang Zhenwu immediately contacted comrades to raise an issue.
After the Wuchang Uprising, Zhang Zhenwu always insisted on opposing the Beiyang dictatorship, preparing for the second revolution, forming another Northern Expedition army, and going to Lebanon to establish another position. Zhang Zhenwu, who was in the midst of various conflicts and struggles, was recruited into Beijing for the second time by Yuan Shikai. Finally, he was killed by a banquet at the Six Nations Hotel in Beijing.
At the beginning of September 1912, Zhang Zhenwu's coffin was transported back to Shiyan Bamboo Mountain from Beijing. The people of Bamboo Mountain held a grand memorial meeting for him. After three days of mourning, he was buried in the Muyu Mountain of Guanyingou in the north of the city under the escort of thousands of people.
In memory of this leader, Zhushan County Government renovated Zhang Zhenwu's grave in 1982 and renamed Zhushan Teachers' Primary School Zhang Zhenwu Primary School in 2001. Later, with the support of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the cemetery of Zhang Zhenwu was rebuilt, with the inscription "Tomb of Mr. Zhang Zhenwu, the martyr of the 1911 Revolution" on the tombstone. In December 1983, it was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.
