Transcript
  • [Title in red characters, and below:] In January 1931, Comrade Fang Zhimin was unfortunately captured after being sold out by a traitot. The enemy carefully plnned a so-called "Assembly to celebrate capturing Fang Zhimin alive." Comrade Fang Zhimin was unintimidated, his demeanour was forceful, he faced the thousands forced by the Guomindang to attend, and seized the moment to proclaim the truth of the revolution. Comrade Fang Zhimin's boldly righteous revolutionary spirit overpowered the enemy who seemed fierce but were really cowards, and inspired the millions of revolutionary warriors to go boldly ahead.
