One piece of red clay recalls the glory
Harbin Twin Cities, there is a retired veteran who once went to "support the old and resist the United States". He spent more than 20 years starting a business and gradually becoming bigger and stronger. Because of nostalgia for military years, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Memorial Hall was created on the black soil of Shuangcheng and became a red education base. He planted more than a thousand spruce trees in the memorial hall, and each spruce records the revolutionary trajectory of the ancestors in the army, including Guo Jinlin, the father of the Guo brothers and sisters.
In July 2018, Guo Lian and his sisters took a piece of red clay that they had brought back from their hometown Ji'an General Garden and embarked on the train heading north. They had a wish to bring this red soil to Harbin, thousands of miles away, so that the red gene in southwest Jiangxi can be rooted in the vast black soil.
7 month fire. Outside the car window, the endless black soil was covered with corn with ears hanging on it, sorghum and potato seedlings with flowers. Harbin in July is not cool, and the warm wind blows into the car box makes people excited. After more than two hours of bumpy journey, we arrived at the Shuangcheng Park and red elements came to us. The towering memorial tower, the dignified and atmospheric memorial hall, the memorial forest of fir trees, and the 100-meter-long general gallery are all quietly telling the red past that happened on this black soil.
This vast black soil is engraved with the footprints of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers back then. The brother and sister walked into the straight spruce bushes, each spruce guarding a portrait of a general, and each portrait showed a strong face. They found a portrait of their father, digging the black soil under the spruce tree, and sprinkling the red soil that they had brought from thousands of miles away. Scoop a piece of red clay and think of the bright moon in a foreign land. The red clay in the hometown integrates into the black soil with his father's soul. It will accompany his father who fought and fought all his life in the south and watched the sunrise in the east and the geese fly south on this black soil.
The red soil in southwest Jiangxi is scattered on the black soil
The brothers and sisters have all served as soldiers, and their brothers have also participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam . In order to accompany the green complex for a lifetime, they left the twin cities and rushed to the northeastern border town Tiger Fortress , where is the location of Zhenbao Island and Tiger Head Fortress . The expressway leading to Hulin is undulating and endless. They sang loudly all the way, and their passionate songs resounded throughout the fields.
Tiger Forest is separated from Russia by Ussuri River . The place where the Zhenbao Island Battle took place, and the Tiger Head Fortress was the ending place of World War II . The Japanese Kwantung Army secretly built a military fortress to occupy China and attack the Soviet Union for a long time, and is known as the " Eastern Maginot Line ". Now, brothers and sisters, who are descendants of of the Red Army, are here. They are here to visit this island with artillery fire in the past to commemorate the heroes of their predecessors who defended their country. The island in peacetime was silent, and several soldiers were stationed here for many years. The forts and stone houses of that year were baptized by gunfire. They witness the desire for peace by mankind and tell the hard-won way of peace.
Stop by the Ussuri River and look into the distance, with endless thoughts. Sprinkle a piece of red clay in the hometown, and the heroic souls in the spruce bushes will last forever.
