? In Guanzhuang Town, Yanchuan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province, the Qingping River flowing through the village is as soft and graceful as a girl. Willow grows on the river bank and glows with youth. The tender buds are born in secret, and the tender branches and dead branches are full of infinite hope. Guanzhuang Administrative Village is an ancient and young village, standing quietly here.

? Wang Shijun said: In 20 16, the Yanchuan County Party Committee and the county government were far-sighted and supported your father and son writers to return to their hometowns, hoping to use culture to help revitalize the countryside. In particular, the novel "Red Yanchuan" workshop was set up in the village committee compound of Guanzhuang Village, Guanzhuang Town. You don't live up to expectations. The Battle of Guanzhuang, a novel on fighting theme co-written by father and son and Hong Yanchuan, is being distributed to the whole country from here, fulfilling the promise that culture will help rural revitalization.
? At present, my father An and I are both members of Shaanxi Branch of Chinese Writers Association and Yan 'an Educated Youth Cultural Exchange Association. I am the secretary general of the association and the vice president of Shaanxi Love and Warm Aid Association. I am collecting "books about red culture in northern Shaanxi" and plan to set up a collection studio for the convenience of experts, scholars and lovers of red culture.

Red culture is not only a history of Party history, the modern revolutionary history of China and the glorious history of new China, but also an example history for young people to learn and inherit in the new era, and it is also a successful history of the Chinese nation. Every real revolutionary among them is great, and their stories are worth remembering forever. Their stories also tell us that success depends on responsibility, responsibility, persistence on the road of entrepreneurial innovation, and even sweat and bloodshed. It is this belief that supports us to create the novel Red Yanchuan.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/995, my father Ann and I started writing together. It took us three years to complete a story manuscript describing three families and eight generations, which lasted 120 years, including the story of heroes. The creation of the novel series "Red Yanchuan" takes time to collect and sort out the basic historical materials of the story, and it is difficult to interview the parties and investigate the place where the battle took place. Until 20 16, thanks to the Yanchuan county party Committee and government, they gave instructions to the workshop, established a stable writing base, and collected all the materials. Although it is a little difficult to create now, it is much better than in the past. The Yanchuan County Party Committee and the government are anxious, which gives us a quiet and stable creative environment.
Here, I would also like to thank my wife Bai, who is a staunch supporter of both of us. Bai is from Qingjian County, Yulin City. In 1990s, she was a rural substitute teacher who had taught for more than ten years. I married a poor man in 1996. After receiving training in electronic technology at Northwestern Polytechnical University, I typed manuscripts for us for many years on my home computer. She is a lover of poetry. He is currently the manager of An Zi Xing Huayuan Bookstore in Yanchuan County and a member of Yan 'an Educated Youth Cultural Exchange Association.
? It is of great significance to name this book Red Yanchuan. Open books such as Yanchuan County Records and Yanchuan Military Records. During the Republic of China, the struggle of Yanchuan people against the oppression of the working people by the Kuomintang never stopped. Under the wise leadership of our party, Yanchuan established the ninth detachment of the northern Shaanxi guerrillas of the Chinese Red Army of workers and peasants with Gaolangting as * * *. Guerrillas came from northern Shaanxi and arrived at 1935, and revolutionary kindling blossomed everywhere in northern Shaanxi. From 1936 to 1947, the tour leader passed Yanchuan three times, passed through 15 towns and villages, and lived in at least seven villages. There are also some offices of the Red Army's stationed troops and units, leaving many meeting places and addresses such as the famous Yongping stationed troops and the Taixiang Temple Conference, and the red culture is extremely strong.
Writers all know that it is difficult to write a book, collect information and publish it!
There will inevitably be some difficulties in writing and publishing the novel Red Yanchuan. When writing, you need to refer to the memoirs of the parties, local military records and other books to investigate the specific marching route, the natural environment, specialties and folk customs of the story. First of all, it is difficult to collect data, which took us nearly twenty years. Secondly, it is difficult to investigate in the local area, such as funds, transportation and language communication. So I first published the battle story "The Battle of Guanzhuang" which happened in the nearest place. Finally, it is difficult to publish, and it is necessary to find well-known writers to review and recommend them to publishing houses, publishing funds and distribution after publication; But as long as it is a good work, it will be published sooner or later.
Bai Fengxiang, a folk paper-cut artist in Yanchuan County, said with emotion after visiting the workshop: Literary creation depends on persistence! More need someone to understand and support. You are very lucky, a family of three is United as one, and father and son have been co-authors for 27 years. This is a model of harmonious families of contemporary intellectuals!

? The Battle of Guanzhuang in Red Yanchuan is a novel, which was designated as the first book of contemporary writers by Shaanxi Love and Warm Help Association, and a book for some poor primary and middle school students in Shaanxi Province to help the poor. Guanzhuang Town in Qingpingchuan is not only the author's hometown, but also the place where the battle story of Guanzhuang Campaign in Hongyanchuan took place. It is hoped that by establishing a memorial hall, it will become a red cultural education base; I hope to set up the Yanchuan Red Culture Research Association, so that more people can participate in the study of red culture. I hope the novel Red Yanchuan can produce more good works in the workshop and promote the development of local culture and economy in Yanchuan County more effectively. I hope to further publicize through film and television dramas, micro-movies, live broadcasts and other forms to promote the integration and adjustment of local industries; It is hoped that the red culture will help to revitalize the rural cultural economy in an all-round way, improve the moral and cultural level of the rural population, and achieve the good effect of killing two birds with one stone.
I established a novel "Red Yanchuan" studio in my hometown, and then became a "Chinese manuscript showroom". I was strongly supported by Yanchuan County Chamber of Commerce and its president Li, and Yanjiahe Hengfeng Food Technology Co., Ltd. and its general manager. I am grateful here.
