Introduction to the Qiliping Trade Union: Pan’s Temple, which is more than ten meters south from the north gate of Changsheng Street, was the former site of the Qiliping Trade Union. On the eve of the Jute Uprising in 1927, Zheng Xingrui, a clerk at the "Ke Yisheng" grocery store in Qiliping, followed the party's instructions and launched a series of joint efforts to establish a store employees' union. Zheng Xingrui was elected as a member. "In the past, poor people were three inches shorter, but now they are the masters of the family." Zheng Xingrui led the labor union to manufacture weapons. The first pistol he and worker Xiao Tongtai made suppressed the reactionary chamber of commerce president Li Yejie, and solemnly issued a cry to the old society: The proletariat is the master of the country.
