CCTV News: The Communist Party of China has always attached great importance to ethnic issues. In the process of creating a new China, it proposed and implemented regional ethnic autonomy, which has won the heartfelt support of people of all ethnic groups. The system of regional ethnic autonomy is the fundamental method and path to solve ethnic issues explored in the long-term revolutionary practice by the Communist Party of China to apply Marxism. It is a basic political system in our country. The first practice of this great system started with Ningxia in 1936.
In “The Journey to the West”, the establishment of this national autonomous government is called “the most important thing I saw in Ningxia.” On May 18, 1936, the Red Army of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, Babaylan and the 15th Legion began to leave northern Shaanxi and advance into Gansu. It was also at that time that Comrade Mao Zedong proposed the idea of implementing regional ethnic autonomy under the principle of national equality.
On June 27, 1936, the 15th Red Army conquered Yuwang County, which is now Xiamaguan in Tongxin County, where the Soviet government of Yuwang County, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia Province was established. With the establishment of the Babaylan regimes in various rural areas, the conditions for electing and establishing the Yu (Wang)hai (formerly) County National Autonomous Government have basically matured.

In this way, the first national autonomous government led by the Communist Party of China was born. During his contact with the Red Army, Ma Hefu, a Hui farmer from a poor family, saw that the Red Army was disciplined and did not violate the people. He respected their national beliefs, so he took the initiative to accept the Red Army’s anti-Komiks’s Japanese advocates and national policies, and joined the Communist Party of China in July 1936. After the establishment of the Yuhai County Huimin Autonomous Government, he led everyone to elect 37 members of the government executive committee and issued the “Letter to Compatriots around the North Circle”, calling for the organization of the Huimin Liberation Association and propaganda of the Red Army’s proposal to fight against Japan and save the country, arm themselves and fight for national independence and liberation. Everyone also discussed and passed government regulations such as the “New Land Law”, “New Marriage Law”, “Rent Reduction and Interest Reduction Cinema Regulations”.
Twenty years later, in 1958, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was established. The people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia firmly followed the Party, and started a glorious journey of regional autonomy in ethnic areas.
