From generation to generation, the story of digging wells has been passed down from generation to generation.
About 5 kilometers to the east from Ruijin City, a huge red five-star crosses the highway, and further on is the "Cradle Tourist Area of the Republic". It is not only a group of revolutionary sites, but also a quaint village. The village is shaded by ancient camphor trees, and the white walls and tiles convey a hundred years of vicissitudes. The well mentioned in "Don't forget to dig a well when eating" stands quietly here.
Enter the scenic spot and walk all the way along the cobblestone path, and you will soon see the "Red Well". There are a sea of people around Hongjing. In addition to tourists, there are many commentators wearing uniforms of the Red Army. Most of them are locals, and they look like they are in their early twenties, but they can explain the history of this red well for more than 80 years.
Hongjing
Tourists take photos with Hongjing Stone Monument.
According to the commentator, 1933, the central government moved its capital to Shazhouba. Chairman Mao found it difficult for people in this place to drink water, so he led cadres to conduct field surveys and investigate underground water sources, and then dug wells with officers and men of the Red Army and local people. 1950, the renovated well was named "Red Well" to express my gratitude and memory of Chairman Mao. "The stone tablet that said,' Don't forget to dig wells when drinking water, and always remember Chairman Mao' was erected at that time."
As time goes by, Hongjing occupies an important position in the hearts of local people and even the whole country. On a well-side sculpture modeled on a student's textbook, the familiar words "Don't forget to dig a well when drinking water" are engraved. A tourist who came to visit and study stood in front of the sculpture and said, "I learned this article when I was a child, and now my 8-year-old son can recite it."
Former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong.
Today's Shazhouba trees are swaying, quiet and simple. In addition to the rainbow scene, the ancient buildings here are hidden under green trees, which is particularly spectacular and quiet. Towering ancient camphor trees can be seen everywhere in the scenic area, forming a beautiful landscape, especially the ancient camphor trees in front of Chairman Mao's former residence, which are intertwined and cover the sky. The old tree is surrounded by a wooden fence. The sign reads: Comrade Mao Zedong's Reading and Newspaper Reading Office (193 1- 1933), but it does not indicate the age of the tree. The trunk of this tree is extremely thick, and the bark is covered with moss. On its side, new branches grow on the trunk, forming a shade. Nowadays, this ancient tree, which once accompanied great men, is more like a century-old man, silently watching the vicissitudes of the world.
The "revolutionary well" has been used for decades.
Red well water has nurtured generations of people in Shazhouba. In Jiangxi, there is also a well closely related to the Red Army and Chairman Mao, which is also passed down by word of mouth.
Causeway Bay, Dragon Boat Festival Township, Yudu County, is named after the place where the village is located looks like a gong. This place is small, but it has left a deep impression on the revolutionary history of China. According to the introduction of the "Exhibition Hall of the Red Army Corps" at Liu's Ancestral Hall in Causeway Bay, this is the "zero starting point" of the Red Army's 25,000-mile long March. Although the stay was not long, the Red Army Corps carried out extensive activities to support the army and love the people, helping the people solve many difficulties in their lives. The "revolutionary well" in the village was dug by the Red Army soldiers at that time.
Revolutionary well.
Liu Qisheng, a villager in Causeway Bay, takes water from the revolutionary well.
Liu Qisheng squatted by the revolutionary well and scooped up the well water with an old-looking bucket. "When I was a child, I heard old people say that there is a spring in the back hill, and it is inconvenient to use water in the village. After the Red Army came, the soldiers were sent to help the people dig wells. Later, we used this well to wash clothes and drink water. It has been used for decades. "
Clear well water
Liu Qisheng's words are full of affection and pride. Although every household now has running water, this well is of special significance to the whole village. After more than 80 years of repair, the well is still gurgling, and the story of the Red Army drilling wells has been passed down from generation to generation in the village.
Causeway Bay, Dragon Boat Festival Township, Yudu County.
Times have changed. Today, the cement road in Causeway Bay is wide and tidy, with trees on both sides, and the small buildings with three or four floors built by villagers are patchwork, which is a scene of a new socialist countryside. However, the headquarters of the Red Army Corps still retained its original appearance, and together with the Revolutionary Well, it became the best witness of history.
There is a family tree of a martyr in Hanxin Village.
When I visited Hanxin Village, Dragon Boat Festival Township, Yudu County, it just rained heavily, and the water vapor rose into the air, making the landscape here particularly quiet.
Hanxin Village is an ancient Hakka village with ancient charm. There are not only ancient banyan trees and Hakka old houses, but also ancient ancestral halls and Hakka folk customs that continue to this day. Like many villages in southern Jiangxi, it is also full of revolutionary past events.
Textbooks for primary school students in Hanxin Yu Ying.
It is understood that there are two genealogies in the ancestral hall of Hanxin Village. One is the genealogy of Hanxin village, which has spread branches and scattered leaves for 600 years, and the other is the genealogy of martyrs who died for the revolution in the village. According to the villagers, the genealogy of martyrs and genealogy are very precious "treasures" in this village. For the revolution, there are countless martyrs in Hanxin village, and nearly 200 people are recorded in the genealogy of martyrs alone. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, the whole village was also actively resisting Japan, becoming the anti-Japanese rear area.
Today, Hanxin Village is a vibrant scene, with young girls barbecuing and playing by Meijiang River in droves. Old people sit around the towering camphor trees chatting and playing chess; The students' reading sounds came from one side of Hanxin Yu Ying Primary School. In front of the table tennis table at school, the students are playing their own "games". Children of different heights attack sideways and pull the ball back. The orange ball "baa baa ..." flew in the air, and the onlookers kept laughing and cheering.
Students in Hanxin Yu Ying Primary School play table tennis after class.
The headmaster of Hanxin Yu Ying Primary School said, "These children are on the school table tennis team. They are very talented and like this sport. They don't go home after school, so they play table tennis here. Look at that tall girl. She won the prize. "
During the rainy season, the Meijiang River is wide, the river rushes away, and the old banyan trees are lush. The picturesque Hanxin Village has beautiful natural and cultural landscapes, and everything in front of it is picturesque.
Immerse yourself in Jinggangshan and feel the soul of the Red Army.
Duyuhe Long March Ferry.
On the way to Jinggangshan, the end of the "well-seeking" trip, we passed the Memorial Park, the starting point of the Long March of the Central Red Army. This is the birthplace of the Long March spirit. On the assembly square, you can see a group of tourists wearing uniforms of the Red Army singing "Long March Songs". The Duyu River crossed by the Central Red Army in those days flowed slowly with songs beside the Memorial Park.
Tourists in military uniforms took a group photo at Memorial Park Square, the starting point of the Long March of the Central Red Army.
As soon as I set foot on the hot land of Jinggangshan, a strong revolutionary atmosphere came to my face. On the left side of the toll station exit is Hongqi Square, and the magnificent giant "Jinggang Red Flag Sculpture" comes into view. Many tourists in the square wore military uniforms and took military photos, as if they had returned to that era of hard struggle.
Jinggangshan is a red fertile soil, with stories in the mountains and legends in the water. The revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan for two years and four months ignited a single spark of China's revolution, leaving behind a large number of epic red stories.
In Jinggangshan, there are more than 100 revolutionary sites that are still well preserved, including 22 national cultural relics protection units, which are big classrooms for patriotic education everywhere, engraved with the eternal red spirit.
In addition, in recent years, Jinggangshan has creatively launched many red education and training bases relying on profound and unique red resources. Taking Jinggangshan Education and Training Base of China Tourism Group, located at No.1 Jinggang, Liping, Jinggangshan City as an example, we can not only recall the revolutionary spirit, but also immerse ourselves in the life of the Red Army.
In Jinggangshan Education and Training Base of China Tourism Group, we also put on the Red Army uniform, which is made of cotton and linen. Although they are long-sleeved trousers, they are not boring at all. Standing on the lawn with the students here, blowing a breeze from time to time, the commentator told us the revolutionary history of the martyrs fighting bloody battles, and we were fascinated. More than 90 years have passed, and the Jinggangshan spirit is like a bright red flag, flying in the revolutionary years and in each of us.
Historical opportunity endows Jiangxi with a unique and immortal red soul. Whether it is a river, two wells, or every inch of land here, there are many touching revolutionary stories, which have witnessed the passion and ideal of China's revolution. Along the highway, we walked all the way to see, feeling the historical temperature of the red homeland, and feeling the pulse of the changes in southern Jiangxi and northern Jiangxi. From the cold and sweet water in the red well in Shazhouba, Ruijin, to the written records in the ancestral hall in Causeway Bay, Dragon Boat Festival Township, Yudu County, the smoke rising from Hanxin Village, to the emotional narration in Jinggangshan ... This summer, we have gained a lot of feelings in Jiangxi, and this road of "finding wells" has become the initial way to awaken red memories.
