Cheben Village

　　    As the central area of the Jinghepu Revolutionary Base, Cheben Village in Shiliu Town, Zhangpu County, was the location for the headquarters of the Red Third Regiment, the 0 Zhangzhou County Committee of the CPC, the 0 Jinghepu County Committee, the 0 Jinghepu County Working Committee, one of the bases for the 0 Minyue Border Provisional Special Committee, and one of the bases for the 0 Southern Fujian Special Committee.

　　    On April 20, 1932, the Eastern Route Army of the Central Red Army captured Zhangzhou. After hearing reports from Deng Zihui (who had been elected as an executive member of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic and as the People's Commissar of Finance), Luo Ming, Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Committee, and Wang Haiping, Executive Committee Member of the Fujian Soviet, who were leading the establishment of revolutionary bases in Zhangpu, Comrade Mao Zedong decided to consolidate and develop the rural revolutionary base centered on Longxi Market, Xiaoshancheng, and Longling in Zhangpu, expand guerrilla warfare southward into Zhangpu, Pinghe, Yunxiao, and Longxi counties, establish small Red Army units, and build small Soviet areas. He also sent a telegram related to decisions about the revolutionary struggle in Southern Fujian. On April 22, during a meeting with company-level and higher officers of the Eastern Route Army, he delivered the report "On the Current Political Situation and the Second Campaign," laying out plans to establish a new Soviet area centered on Longxi Market in Zhangpu and expanding into Zhangpu, Pinghe, Longxi, Longxi, and Yunxiao. On April 24, the Third Army of the Eastern Route Army of the Central Red Army captured Zhangpu, established the Zhangpu County Revolutionary Committee, and launched land revolution struggles such as overthrowing local tyrants, redistributing land, and establishing Soviet political power across urban and rural areas. Cheben Village became the central area of the Jinghepu Revolutionary Base, serving successively as a base for the Red Third Regiment, the 0 Zhangzhou County Committee of the CPC, the 0 Jinghepu County Committee, and one of the headquarters of the 0 Minyue Border Provisional Special Committee during the period of the agrarian revolutionary struggle, as well as one of the headquarters of the 0 Southern Fujian Special Committee during the War of Resistance against Japan. From the spring of 1948 onward, it served as the headquarters of the 0 Jinghepu County Working Committee.

　　    The old house that houses the former site of the 0 Jinghepu County Working Committee is a century-old earthen building covering an area of 180 square meters. Due to its earthen walls, it remains a dangerous structure despite multiple renovations. In June 2004, the former site of the 0 Jinghepu County Working Committee was designated as a Zhangpu County Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the Zhangpu County People’s Government. On January 28, 2013, it was announced as part of the eighth batch of Provincial-Level Cultural Relics Protection Units by the Fujian Provincial People’s Government.
