1929年5月21日,毛泽东、朱德、陈毅率红四军攻打龙岩城,途经连城的新泉。当天下午,红四军在新泉溪边的岗头大榕树下召开群众大会,毛泽东在大会上作了演讲。他那激人奋起的话语,使饱受压迫和剥削的劳苦大众顿开茅塞,明白了为什么要拿起枪杆子的简单道理。大会还未结束,新泉就有一百多人踊跃报名加入了红军。 On May 21, 1929, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Chen Yi attacked Longyan City with the Red Army forces and passed the new city of Quancheng. In the afternoon, the Fourth Red Army held a mass meeting under the big banyan tree near the head of Xinquan Stream. Mao Zedong made a speech at the conference. His exciting words discouraged the oppressed and exploited working masses and understood the simple reason why they should pick up their pistols. At the congress, not more than one hundred people in Xinquan have volunteered to join the Red Army.
