The Site of the Young Communist International Division is located in Tixi Village Group, Yuanfang Village Committee, Taoyuan Township. It is a building from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period, with the old residential structure covering an area of approximately 156.980 square meters. The exterior wall is inscribed with lime-lettered text reading “Young Pioneer Brigade of the Young Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army.” The slogan is about 0.62 meters high and 6.09 meters long. In the founding history of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, there was once a unique unit known as the “Young Communist International Division.” This division was established in August 1933, modeled after the Comintern’s “Young Communist International Division.” The average age of its soldiers was 18, with the youngest being just 14. It served as a main force of the Red Army, at its peak numbering over ten thousand troops. Despite existing for only one year and 164 days, the division achieved remarkable feats, and many of its officers and soldiers went on to become key figures in the People’s Liberation Army. Twenty-three of them became generals of the founding of the nation, including Xiao Hua, the author of the famous song “The Long March Suite” and the division’s second political commissar, who was only 17 years old at the time. The site holds significant historical value for the study of the establishment, development, and revolutionary struggles of the “County Committee of the CPC and the County Soviet Government” during the Second Revolutionary Civil War period.
