He joined the Communist Party of China in June and very soon became the secretary of the party branch, leading the peasants to fight against taxes. When it’s time to harvest in August, he led the masses to fight against the compulsory conscription in the ways that relatives called on relatives to participate in the fight and neighbors called on their neighbors to take part in the fight. The guerrilla group was established by his leaders in Qionglai County, so he was appointed as deputy political commissar of Mingqiong Group to cooperate the PLA men in order to block and destroy the army of the Kuomingtang. As a result , more than 3000 enemies were captured, over 3000 weapons were seized by PLA men with the cooperation of Chuankangbian People Guerrilla Column, but 80 guerrillas sacrificed their lives.

Around the New Year of 1950, the counties in West Sichuan were liberated successively and Mr. Yang were appointed as deputy head of Pingle Town, Qionglai County, whose work was to collect grain by quota and suppress bandits. On January 22,1950, the bandits rioted and besieged the urban area of Qionglai County.Unfortunatly, he was caught by the bandit policeman because his accent was different from the local people’s. Facing the enemy, he said frankly and unflinchingly, '' I am Yang Jianshou . I am a member of CPC. I am the deputy head of Pingle Town.'' He told the bandits about the situation at that time and the policy of CPC. He also said to the enemies that if they gave up their weapons to surrender and atoned for their crime, they could find their way out. He was killed at the age of 26 by the bandits in Jindianzi, Kongping Town. After his death, his schoolmate inscribed the words 'He created the spring for the people, but he rested in peace in the spring ' at the back of his photo. He is not only commemorated by his classmates, but also remembered by the people.
