Born in a poor family in July 1917, he was admitted to Guizhou Provincial No. 1 Middle School in the spring of 1932. In 1937, forced by life, he dropped out of school and was admitted to the Guizhou Provincial Postal Administration. In Guiyang, he joined the “Anti-Japanese National Liberation Vanguard” (referred to as “Minxian”), “Reading Club” and other progressive organizations, and became the backbone of the “Minxian” . On October 1, 1937, Chen Fashi was transferred to Zhenyuan County Post Office.
In 1938, Chen Fashi joined the Communist Party of China. Soon, he and two other comrades formed the Zhenyuan County Party Branch of the CPC and founded the secret publication “Haiyan”. Chen Fashi organized a singing team to teach anti-Japanese songs to the masses, and rehearse street dramas to promote anti-Japanese and national salvation ideas. With the provincial Zhenyuan Normal School as the focus, we will develop “minxian” members among students, and organize “reading clubs” and “music research clubs.” Fa Shi also creatively used gasoline cans to make a big Huqin on the streets to awaken people’s thinking.
On July 9th of the same year, Chen Fashi issued a letter in the name of “Zhenyuan Special Team of Postal Trade Union” in response to the demand for salary increase of Hunan Changde postal workers, and organized the establishment of “Zhenyuan Posts and Telecommunications Staff Club” with Tan Senke, Director of Works of Zhenyuan Telegraph Bureau, to organize workers to learn culture Keep up with current events and propagate the War of Resistance.
Chen Fashi’s revolutionary activities attracted great attention from the Kuomintang, and he sent special agents to follow him and report secretly at any time.
At the beginning of 1940, Chen Fashi was suddenly transferred to work in Chishuitu towns, and in July of the following year, he transferred to Songtao. Wherever he went, he actively carried out anti-Japanese salvation activities and labor movement. On the way to Songtao, he carried out anti-Japanese propaganda along the way; when passing by the Yinjiang River, he explained the situation of the anti-Japanese war to the local youth and encouraged them to contribute to the country. After the Kuomintang’s Yinjiang County Party Headquarters learned about it, they sent people to hunt down, and Chen Fashi was able to escape with the help of local youths.
On November 20, 1941, Chen Fashi was arrested by Kuomintang agents in Songtao, and then escorted to Guiyang, where he was imprisoned in the cell of the Security Department of Guizhou Province. Faced with the interrogation and torture of the agents, Chen glared at him, preferring to die rather than surrender, and then generously give up.
