Pei Guang (1902-1933), courtesy name Ziming, was born in Huwà Village, Gushi County, Henan Province. He received early enlightenment education at his family and private school, and later attended Gushi Middle School. Confronted with frequent wars and social upheaval, Pei Guang gradually developed a sense of patriotic duty to save the country and the people. After the May Fourth Movement broke out, he actively participated in student movements, organized activities to promote the significance of the movement, and advanced patriotic anti-imperialist actions throughout the county. In 1920, Pei Guang was admitted to the Henan Provincial First Normal School with excellent grades, where he came into contact with progressive publications such as *New Youth*, was influenced by revolutionary ideas, and joined the Youth Study Society to spread new ideas. In 1925, he took part in protests supporting the May Thirtieth Incident and, together with other progressive youths, founded the weekly publication *Thunderfire* to guide youth movements. During his studies at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow in 1927, he conducted in-depth research on international communist theory and the October Revolution. After returning to China, Pei Guang carried out secret work in Northeast China and Shandong Province, actively developing party members and engaging in party propaganda and organization work. In 1931, he served as the Propaganda Minister of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. After the September 18 Incident, he actively called on patriotic individuals from various sectors to resist Japanese invasion, thereby enhancing the influence of the party. Due to his support for Hu Pingzhou, Secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, and his opposition to Wang Mings's "Left"ist stance, he enjoyed a certain level of trust within the party. In 1932, Pei Guang was betrayed by a traitor and arrested. The enemies subjected him to brutal interrogations, attempting to extract party secrets, but he remained unyielding and refused to divulge any information. In prison, he actively organized fellow comrades to conduct hunger strikes, forcing the enemies to improve prison conditions. Ultimately, Pei Guang was executed in the autumn of 1933 at the age of 31. With unwavering faith and fearless spirit, he composed a chapter in the history of revolutionary struggle.
