[The origin of August Day]

On April 12 and July 15, 1927, after Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei launched the "Qing Communists" in Nanjing and Wuhan respectively, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provisional Political Bureau in Hankou, and decided to use the National Revolutionary Army under the control and influence of the Communist Party to hold an uprising in Nanchang, and appointed *** as the secretary of the Committee of Former Enemies of the leading organ of the uprising.

At 2 o'clock in the morning of August 1, Zhu De, He Long, Ye Ting, Liu Bocheng and others commanded the rebel army from all walks of life to launch an attack on the Kuomintang army stationed in Nanchang, and after more than four hours of fierce fighting, more than 3,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 5,000 guns were captured, more than 1 million bullets, and several cannons were captured, and Nanchang City was occupied. On the morning of the same day, a joint meeting of members of the Kuomintang Central Committee and representatives of provincial, regional, and special cities and overseas party departments was held in Nanchang, at which the "Declaration of the Central Committee Members" was adopted, the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang composed of 25 members, including Soong Ching-ling, He Long, Ye Ting, and Zhu De, was established, and the "August 1st Uprising Declaration" and other documents were adopted, and revolutionary slogans and political programs such as "Down with imperialism," "Down with the old and new warlords," and "Implement the practice of giving the tiller his own land." At the same time, the insurrectionary forces were reorganized, and the number of the Second Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army was still used, with He Long acting as the commander-in-chief. Due to the enemy's heavy attack on Nanchang, the front committee of the Communist Party of China decided that, in accordance with the predetermined plan of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the insurrectionary troops withdrew from Nanchang from 3 to 6 August, waved their troops south, and went straight to the Chaoshan area of Guangdong via Linchuan, Yihuang, and Guangchang.

The insurrectionary forces defeated the blockade of the Kuomintang reactionary forces at Ruijin and Huichang in Jiangxi, and then passed through Changting and Shanghang in Fujian and Dapu in Guangdong, occupied Chaozhou and Shantou in late September, and the main force advanced westward through Jieyang to Tangkeng. At the beginning of October, the westward advance troops and the troops left behind in Chaoshan were besieged by superior enemy forces, and most of the rebel forces were scattered, and some broke through to Hailufeng and joined up with the local peasant forces; The other part was led by Zhu De and Chen Yi to move to southern Hunan through southern Jiangxi and northern Guangdong to carry out guerrilla warfare. In January 1928, with the cooperation of the local party organizations and peasant armed forces in southern Hunan, the "Nianguan Uprising" was held in Yizhang. Due to the "co-suppression" of the superior enemy forces, the rebel troops and peasant armed forces withdrew from southern Hunan, and arrived at Jinggangshan in April of the same year to join forces with the troops led by *** to form the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which was later renamed the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

On July 11, 1933, the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic, in accordance with the proposal of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission on June 30, decided that August 1 would be the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. On June 15, 1949, the Military Committee of the Chinese People's Revolutionary issued an order stipulating that the character "August 1" should be used as the main symbol of the military flag and military emblem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the anniversary was renamed the Army Day of the People's Liberation Army of Chinese.
