WEDNESDAY TRIVIA 

THE ZHU GE LIANG OF CHINESE COMMUNIST FORCES
(COMRADE LIU BO CHENG)

By: Comrade Mark Cua 

Another Great Communist that is a great inspiration in the Philippine Archipelago armed Struggle. A Simple and Educated man who dedicated his life, and his service to the Armed Struggle and to the fight for the Liberation of the Philippine Archipalego from the hands and evil grips of the democratic Government. 

Origin of the Zhu Ge Liang of Communist Forces 

He is born on December 4, 1892 in Kai Xian, Sichuan Province. In his early years, he had already joined the MIlitary Service under the KMT (Kuo Min Tang). In 1926, he decided to join the CPC (Communist Party of China).

In 5 years old, he studied in a private school. At 12 years old, he started to study a new form of educational System. At 15 years because of the death of his father, they suffered to poverty. In 1912, he joined the Shu Army School for daily living.  

In 1920, he was commissioned to Battalion Commander. 

In 1927, he joined the Nan Chang Uprising where he was accompanied by Comrade He Long, and others. He then went to Soviet Union to study further when he got back in our Motherland (China) it was at the height of the Civil War between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and KMT (Kuo Min Tang). 

In 1930, He served as Chang Jiang Military Secretariat. In World War II, he served as 8th Route Army 129th Battalion.  In World War II, he fought against the Japanese Imperial Forces and outrouted them. Under his command, thousands of Japanese Imperial Army Soldiers died from the Guerilla forces of the Chinese. 

His Patriotism outweighs his Poverty

Despite the Poverty he is suffering, his patriotism never bent. Instead it made him more of a Patriot and more of a loving Commander to communist Movement and Armed Struggle. His Patriotism intensified his skill of being the "Zhu Ge Liang" of the Communist Forces. 

He was also one of the Commanders who is on the long march. 

He had led so many victorious battles against The Japanese Imperial Army and the KMT (Kuo Min Tang). He used his skill to liberate the entire Chinese Nation from the corrupt, greedy grips of the Philippine Democratic Government. 

Why is he A Great Insipirational Figure to the Communist Movement in the Philippine Archipelago? 

First of all, We believe there are a lot of skillful commanders in the Communist Movement and Armed Struggle operating under the NPA (New People's Army). They are abled commanders and they are also skillful. 

Second Of All, like him many of these Red Fighters and Red Commanders had been in the fighting and combat zone for decades and even years. So their skills and ability to fight is honed. Like Comrade Lui Bo Cheng, he used his weakness as his strenght. Despite the odds and the poverty, he showed the same passion and patriotism on the entire liberation of the Philippine Archipelago. 

I hope the Red Fighters, the Red Commanders, the commanders had the same traits as you will see on Comrade Liu Bo Cheng.
