The First Female Member in the History of the CPC 中国共产党史上的第一个女党员

Let me ask you a question, do you know who was the first female member in the history of the Communist Party of China?

让我来问你一个问题,你知道谁是中国共产党史上第一个女党员吗?


It does not matter if you do not know, let me introduce the legendary heroine for you today——the role model of our generation.

不知道也没关系,今天就让我来为你介绍一下,这位巾帼不让须眉的我辈楷模吧。


Her name was Miao Boying, and in the summer of 1919, she was admitted to the Beijing Female Higher Normal College, the famous Beijing Normal University today, with the highest score in the Changsha area. In November 1920, she was personally introduced to the CPC by Li Dazhao (a pioneer of the Chinese Communist movement) and became the first female member of the Communist Party of China. From the end of 1919 to the autumn of 1920, Miao Boying joined the Women's Work-Study Mutual Aid Group. At the end of 1920, she joined the Beijing Socialist Youth League and then the Beijing Communist Group, and in the autumn of 1921, she became the first secretary of the Beijing Xicheng Branch of the CPC (Beijing Normal University Branch). It is worth mentioning that Miao Boying always used Marxist views to think about issues and enlighten the people, and played an important role in developing party members and expanding the organization. For the next eight years, she and her husband, He Mengxiong, were actively involved in the revolutionary cause, organizing mass movements in Beijing, Changsha, Wuhan, and Shanghai, etc. Together, they were known as the "heroic" couple in the history of the CPC.

她叫缪伯英,1919年夏,她以长沙地区第一名的成绩,考入北京女子高等师范学校,也就是今天著名的北京师范大学,192011月,由李大钊(中国共产主义运动的先驱)亲自介绍入党,成为中国共产党第一位女党员,1919年底到1920年秋,缪伯英参加女子工读互助团,1920年末先后加入北京社会主义青年团和北京共产主义小组,1921年秋,缪伯英担任中共北京西城支部(北京师范大学支部)的第一任书记。值得一提的是,缪伯英始终用马克思主义的观点来思考问题,启迪民智,在发展党员,扩大组织方面发挥重要作用。此后的8年时间里,她与丈夫何孟雄积极投身于革命事业,在北京、长沙、武汉、上海等地,广泛参与组织群众运动,被称为中共党史上的“英雄”夫妻。


Due to the long-term hardship and danger, Miao Boying became sick with strain. In October 1929, she was hospitalized for typhoid. When she was dying, she said to her husband:"I have pledged my life to the Party and should sacrifice for the Party's cause. But because of illness, I could not die in the battlefield. Meng Xiong, you must fight resolutely until a clean sweep." After saying this, she passed away at the age of only 30.

由于长期处于艰难困苦的险境,缪伯英积劳成疾。192910月因伤寒入院,病危之际,她对丈夫说:“我既以身许党,应为党的事业牺牲,奈何因病,不能战死沙场。孟雄,你要坚决斗争,直到胜利。”言毕,撒手人寰,年仅30岁。


Trials and tribulations harden people's original intention. With her short but glorious life, Miao Boying wrote the song of youth of an excellent Communist Party member and fulfilled the unswerving mission of the CPC.

最是磨难励初心,缪伯英用她短暂而光辉的生命,谱写了优秀共产党员的青春之歌,践行了中国共产党矢志不渝的使命。


Through my introduction, do you have a better understanding of Miao Boying's glorious deeds? Today, we, the contemporary young students, should also learn the excellent qualities of Miao Boying and be the successors of the communist cause.通过我的介绍是不是对于缪伯英先生的光辉事迹有所了解了呢?今日之我们,当代青年学子,也要学习缪伯英先生的优秀品质,做共产主义事业接班人。
