无产阶级革命思想受启蒙

Enlightenment of Proletarian Revolutionary Thought

  晚清至民国期间，有位反对袁世凯称帝的同盟会成员叫蔡寅。国立兰州大学时期，有位进步学生也叫蔡寅。

    During the time of late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there was a member of Chinese Revolutionary League named Cai Yin who opposed the restoration of emperorship by Yuan Shih-kai. Coincidentally, one of the progressive students in Lanzhou University was also named after “Cai Yin”.

蔡寅（1926—1997），中共党员，甘肃武都县人，1926年生于兰州。1951年本科毕业于兰州大学俄文系。

Cai Yin (1926-1997), a member of the Communist Party of China, was a native of Wudu County, Gansu Province. He was born in Lanzhou in 1926. In 1951, he graduated from the Department of Russian Language and Literature of Lanzhou University.

  中小学时期，蔡寅接触到了武都县小学国文老师胡必昌，并受到胡必昌、谢松涛等共产党员们先进思想的影响，看到了当时蓬勃发展的社会民主革命运动，他的无产阶级革命思想受到了启蒙。

    When he studied in the primary and secondary school, Cai Yin came into contact with Hu Bichang, a Chinese teacher of Wudu County Primary School. Then, he was influenced by the advanced thoughts burst forth by some members of the Communist Party of China such as Hu Bichang and Xie Songtao and paid attention to vigorous movements about social democratic revolution at that time. As a result, his proletarian revolutionary thoughts were enlightened.

Related History Background:

  从1938年底至1949年底，包括武都县在内的陇南地区9个县建立了党的地下组织，发展党员4800多人，是全省最大的一支地下党。

   From the end of 1938 to the end of 1949, nine counties in the Longnan area including Wudu County established an underground organization of the Communist Party of China, and developed the largest underground Party organization in Gansu province with more than 4,800 Party members.

      1938年底，共产党员吴治国根据中共甘工委的指示精神，向山烔堂、王锐青和周少珊通报了在兰州找到党组织和入党的经过，对三人进行组织谈话并介绍加入中国共产党，成立了中共徽县第一个党支部，为党组织在甘肃形成燎原之势播下星星之火。

    At the end of 1938, the Party member Wu Zhiguo informed Shan Jiongtang, Wang Ruiqing and Zhou Shaoshan of how he found the Party organization in Lanzhou and joined it according to the guiding principles of the CPC Gansu Affairs Committee. Then, he conducted organizational talks with them and introduced them to the CPC. They founded the first Party branch in Hui County, which laid a foundation for the promising development of the Party organization in Gansu.

                              

      1940年8月，共产党员王锐青在武都县城下中山街创办“武都教育用品合作社”。合作社除公开销售中小学课本、《新华日报》、抗战文艺报刊，还秘密销售《联共（布）党史》《列宁主义问题》《大众哲学》《资本论》等理论书籍。这里也因此成为共产党人在武都联络进步人士、传播马列主义思想、发展共产党员组织的重要基地。

    In August 1940, the Party member Wang Ruiqing founded the Wudu Educational Supplies Cooperative in the Zhongshan street of Wudu County. In addition to openly selling primary and secondary school textbooks, Xinhua Daily and anti-war literature and art newspapers, the cooperative also sold in secret theoretical books such as History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, The Problems of Leninism, Popular Philosophy and Capital. Therefore, the cooperative became an important base for Party members to make contact with progressive people, disseminate Marxism-Leninism and develop CPC organizations in Wudu.

      1941年6月，王锐青联络进步青年，并与高健君、胡必昌组建武都县第一个党支部——五凤支部。高健君任书记，王锐青、胡必昌为委员。

    In June 1941, Wang Ruiqing contacted the progressive youth and, together with Gao Jianjun and Hu Bichang, established the first Party branch in Wudu County - Wufeng Branch. Gao Jianjun was appointed secretary, and Wang Ruiqing and Hu Bichang were committee members.

      1950年，蔡寅大学毕业，留校任政治课助教，曾任兰州大学马列主义教研室副主任、党委宣传部副部长、甘肃省国际共运史学会理事长、兰州大学图书馆副馆长、兰州大学外语系总支书记、兰州大学哲学系主任、兰州大学哲学系党总支书记兼任思想品德教研室主任等职务。

    In 1950, Caiyin graduated from the University and stayed on as a teaching assistant of politics. He used to be the deputy director of Marxism-Leninism Teaching and Research Office of Lanzhou University, the deputy director of the Party Committee Propaganda Department, the chairman of Gansu International Co-movement History Society, the deputy director of Lanzhou University Library, the general branch secretary of Foreign Language Department of Lanzhou University, the director of Philosophy Department of Lanzhou University, the general branch secretary of Party committee of Philosophy Department of Lanzhou University, and the director of Ideological and Moral Teaching and Research Office.

 

大学里的“重要他人”

The Significant Other in the university

      1946年，蔡寅考入兰州大学俄文系，那时他并不知晓，与他同宿舍的其中一位舍友，将会是他在大学里参加革命斗争的“重要他人”，这名舍友便是陈仙洲。正因如此，蔡寅经常受到陈仙洲等进步学子的影响，接触到了新事物、新文化、新思想，常阅读进步书籍，认识和了解到马列主义思想的先进性，并以此与自己先前落后的世界观而斗争，逐渐建立了革命的人生观。他积极参加爱国学生运动和支援前线的工作，思想不断变化、成长和进步。在校期间，他十分爱好文学，经常参加由水天明、何天祥同志负责的小雅文史学会，开展讨论和研究学术的活动。

    In 1946, Cai Yin was admitted to the Department of Russian Language and Literature at Lanzhou University. At that time, he did not realize that one of his roommates, Chen Xianzhou, would be the important figure for him when participating in the revolutionary struggle in the university. Influenced by Chen Xianzhou and other progressive students, Cai Yin came into contact with new things, new cultures and new ideas, and he also often read enlightening books, learning the advanced nature of Marxism-Leninism, struggling with his previous backward views of the world, and gradually establishing a revolutionary outlook on life. Apart from that, he actively took part in movements promoted by patriotic students and work supporting the front. His thought constantly changed and evolved. During his school years, he was fond of literature and often attended academic activities of discussion and research in Institute of the History of Minor Odes hosted by Shui Tianming and He Tianxiang.

 

“我们党是伟大的，光荣的，正确的”

Our Party Is Great, Glorious and Correct

      1949年12月武都解放后，蔡寅从兰州返回武都，在武都县地下党员胡必昌、王锐青的介绍下加入了中国共产党，因那时社会局势紧张，也未履行入党手续。在武威开展整党（从严治党）工作时，蔡寅党员身份并未被承认。1957年，经过兰州大学党委审批，蔡寅才正式加入了党组织。蔡寅在他的《入党志愿书》中写到：

    After the liberation of Wudu in December 1949, Cai Yin returned to Wudu from Lanzhou and was introduced to the Communist Party of China by Hu Bichang and Wang Ruiqing, members of the Underground Party in Wudu County. However, because of the tense social situation at that time, the procedures for joining the party were not fulfilled. And Cai Yin’s membership was not recognized when Wuwei carried out the Party self-governance. It was only in 1957 that Cai Yin was formally admitted to the Party, approved by the Party Committee of Lanzhou University. Cai Yin wrote in his Application to join the party:

      “中国共产党现在正领导着全国人民进行着伟大的社会主义建设，将来必然会领导中国人民建成共产主义社会。从中国人民的革命斗争中，从我们国家的社会主义建设中完全证明了我们党是伟大的，光荣的，正确的。……我要在党的领导下不断改造自己的缺点，提高自己的政治思想水平，用无产阶级思想来武装自己，树立共产主义世界观……把自己的一生毫无保留地贡献给党，贡献给我们伟大光荣的事业。”

    “The Communist Party of China is now leading the whole country in the great socialist construction and will certainly lead the Chinese people to a communist society in the future. The revolutionary struggle of the Chinese people and the socialist construction of our country has completely proved that our Party is great, glorious and correct. ...... I want to constantly get rid of my shortcomings under the leadership of the Party, improve my political and ideological level, arm myself with proletarian ideas, and establish a communist worldview ...... and devote my life unreservedly to the Party and to our great and glorious career.”

   在西北公安干部学校学习期间，蔡寅仍不忘认真开展党史学习教育，深入学习党的革命史，深刻了解了中国共产党领导工人阶级将马克思列宁主义同中国革命实践相结合开展反帝发封建运动，他不断自我剖析和自我批评，“为什么自己还有不正确的东西呢？就是因为自己在解放后系统的学习不够，没有深刻地领会毛泽东思想……”

    During his studies at the Northwest Public Security Cadre School, Cai Yin was still devoted to the history of the Party carefully, the revolutionary history of the Party in depth, therefore gaining a deep understanding of Chinese Communist Party leading the working class to carry out by the anti-imperialist and feudal movement by  combining Marxism-Leninism with the practice of the Chinese revolution. In addition, he constantly self-analyzed and self-criticized, “why do I still have incorrect thoughts? It is because I have not studied systematically enough after liberation and have not deeply understood Mao Zedong Thought ......”
