The octagonal building in Mao Ping is a place that haunts me. I have known the story of Bajiaolou since I was a child, especially during the Cultural Revolution. Among the songs of the large-scale musical "The Road of Jinggangshan" which showed the history of Jinggangshan revolutionary struggle, I like the beautiful and lyrical melody of "The Lights of Bajiaolou" best, which is a song I often sing.

Fortunately, I came to Jinggangshan and witnessed the long-awaited octagonal building for the first time. Eighty years ago, during the 1927 Jinggangshan struggle, Chairman Mao often lived in the Bajiaolou. Under the bright oil lamp, his old man covered himself with a blanket in the middle of the night to keep out the cold, lit with a wick, and wrote "Why can the red regime in China exist?" "and" Jinggangshan struggle "two brilliant works.

Looking at this humble house, I admire it very much. The faint light of the oil lamp in the octagonal building lit up the road to victory of the China revolution in the boundless darkness, and became the radiant light of the revolutionary road in China.

We can never forget our ancestors who fought bloody battles for the revolution, because their lives have long been integrated into our lives, and remembering their achievements and spirit will always be an inexhaustible motive force for our progress.

Walking out of the octagonal building, I looked back at this ordinary small building with only two floors. The stirring melody of "The Lights of the Octagonal Tower" seems to ring in my ear: "The Beidou in the sky is the brightest, and the Mao Ping River is shining with silver light.

People in Jinggangshan look up, and the lights in the octagonal building are shining everywhere ... "。

Behind Xie's Temple in Mao Ping Village, Jinggangshan, there is a two-story building with ochre adobe structure, namely "octagonal building".

The octagonal building is not the octagonal building people imagined, but because there is an octagonal skylight above the house, so the locals are used to calling it the octagonal building.

On the wall of the building, the slogans written by the Red Army soldiers in those days are still clearly identifiable.

Climbing up the narrow wooden ladder to the second floor is the room where Chairman Mao lives and works.

There is a dining table in the outhouse, with photos of Chairman Mao and Comrade He Zizhen hanging on the wall. Indoor furnishings, bed shelves, tables, inkstones, oil lamps, coffee tables, high-backed chairs, bamboo tube metal-gray oil lamps and other items are the original objects used by Chairman Mao and Comrade He Zizhen when they lived here.
