1927年爆发的京汉铁路二七大罢工，作为中国工人阶级在中国共产党领导下的第一次有组织的伟大政治斗争而彪炳史册。后来成为新四军的政委的项英是这次罢工的主要领导人之一，自始至终战斗在斗争第一线，直到从军阀镇压罢工的枪林弹雨中幸而脱险，还进北京到国会作报告控诉军阀的罪行。详情请看《项英与二七大罢工》。 The 27 July strike of the Jing-Han railway broke out in 1927 serves as a milestone for the Chinese working class in its first organized and great political struggle under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. Xiang Ying, who later became the political commissar of the New Fourth Army, was one of the major leaders in the strike. He fought from the beginning to the end of the fight until he was fortunate enough to escape the bullet from the suppression of the strike by the warlords and went to Beijing to report to Congress to prosecute the warlords.
