mentions Xinjiang Diwozi, which is an unforgettable memory of a generation of Corps members. Diwozi inherits the history of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to open up and protect borders. Since they left their homes and set foot on the far northwest, where they have never lived, they can never go back. These are all personal stories, and life and the yellow sand and the factory built later. The energy that goes everywhere and the endless future generations are all stories they once wrote.
Late high-end pits
The so-called pits, a simpler way of living in desertified areas : digging a hole more than one meter deep below the ground, with a square shape , With an area of about a few square meters, a low wall of about half a meter was built around with adobe, and rafters were placed on top, and a raft made of branches was placed on top of it, and then the roof was covered with grass blades and mud . It can resist the wind and sand that is common in desertified areas, but it has poor ventilation and water resistance.
Diwozi with doors and windows
New China was founded in 1949. The state took the maintenance of Xinjiang’s political and economic stability and the consolidation of national unity and national unity as the foundation for the development of Xinjiang, and Xinjiang’s land reclamation and border protection was opened. A new page.
The 13th Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps- Red Star 2nd Field -Military Reclamation Diwozi is the most complete and largest diwozi site discovered in Xinjiang, and it is the first place in Xinjiang. The strength and glory of the members of the Army Reclamation Corps is the historical testimony of the old army’s dedication of youth and life, and of dedication to children and grandchildren.
A dimple without doors and windows in the early stage
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were stationed in Xinjiang. The conditions were very difficult and they had nothing. They all lived in simple shelters on the ground and half underground. The first batch of production and builders started with a pit without doors and windows. At that time, the pit was ventilated on all sides, and there were no wooden doors. They were all tied up with branches to cover the wind and snow, and the stoves on the stoves burned red. She was trembling with the cold while clutching the quilt. These are the footprints left by the first generation of Corps members fighting wind and sand, scorching heat, fighting the severe cold, and working hard to start a business.
The early-stage pits without doors and windows
Use tree branches to form doors to cover the wind and snow
For more advanced ones, half of them are on the ground. Use wooden planks to build a slope. You can also have doors and windows. The only beam of light is thrown in through the only skylight in the nest.
The nest with skylights
There is a song by the female soldiers entering Xinjiang that is sung like this:
Who said that the desert is not desolate, the nest houses, without doors and windows. Three meals a day, corn and sorghum. A trumpet sounded before dawn. Seek fire and burn waste. The most difficult thing is to dream of my hometown every night, thinking of my parents, tears. Looking at the Tianshan Mountains, silently wishing well-being. Since this person is Xu outside the wall, he should red willow , like Populus euphratica.
Later, their second and third generations followed their pioneering footprints and moved forward step by step, and now they have new cities, vast fields, thousands of miles of safe defense lines. This is the patriotic spirit of pioneers who worked hard to start a business, defend the frontier, and selflessly dedicate their youth 60 to 70 years ago.
From the yellow sandy Gobi desert to the green hills of the south of the Yangtze River, from the half-underground pits, dry raids, mud houses, mud houses Until now, the building vividly interprets the history of the XPCC's people in cultivating and guarding the border. , The
generation really had a hard time,I don't know how to get through it in winter or summer. The deserted Gobi, the youth that is not deserted, pays tribute to the uncultivated people, pays tribute to the youth that is not old, the tragic years of the past have brought the stability of my life and our children and grandchildren. Now, Diwozi has become a cultural relic of the red education bases in various reclamation areas. Don't forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind; enlighten future generations and forge ahead.
