Jin Jingmai was born in 1930, from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. He was born in a small-scale family. During his childhood, Jin Jingmai followed his father to Wuhan, Hubei to make a living. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Jin Jingmai traveled to many cities in order to

In the early morning of November 18, 1963, on Beijing-Guangzhou Line, a military horse carrying a cannon stand was suddenly frightened by the whistle of the 288 passenger train heading north. After being frightened, it rushed onto the railway, and the 288 train was about to drive in front of it. At the critical moment, a soldier named Ouyang Hai burst out with amazing strength and sacrificed himself to push the military horse and the cannon stand off the rails, but he was seriously injured by the train and left the world forever that day. Afterwards, Ouyang Hai was posthumously regarded as a martyr and became a role model for the entire army to learn from. His heroic deeds were also spread throughout the country.

1964, a military writer named Jin Jingmai adapted Ouyang Hai's deeds into the novel "Song of Ouyang Hai". This book was published by PLA Literary and Art Publishing House . After its publication, it immediately became popular all over the country. As the creator, Jin Jingmai also became a celebrity. So, what stories do Jin Jingmai have in it? How did he live later?

Jin Jingmai was born in 1930, from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. He was born in a small-scale family. In his childhood, Jin Jingmai followed his father to Wuhan, Hubei to make a living. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Jin Jingmai traveled to many cities in order to avoid the Japanese invaders. His father also died of illness in the war. Jin Jingmai made a living by polishing shoes for others and survived that difficult period.

1949, Jin Jingmai joined the army in Wuhan and became a PLA soldier. After joining the army, Jin Jingmai mainly engaged in literary and artistic work, adapted and created some drama scripts, and accumulated a certain amount of writing experience. In 1962, Jin Jingmai was transferred to Guangzhou Military Region and became a creator of the Warriors Theatre Troupe. His main task was to create dramas and adjust the soldiers' spare time.

1964, Jin Jingmai created the famous "Song of Ouyang Hai" based on the deeds of the martyr Ouyang Hai. This novel made Jin Jingmai become a famous person all over the country. On May 1st Labor Day in 1967, Jin Jingmai was invited to climb the Tiananmen Gate Tower and was received by Chairman Mao and other leaders. It was also this month that Jin Jingmai was appointed as the leader of the literary and artistic group to preside over the actual work of the Ministry of Culture. However, just a few months later, Jin Jingmai offended Jiang Qing, was arrested, and later was imprisoned in Qincheng Prison.

Jin Jingmai was detained in Qincheng Prison until May 1975. Since then, he has regained his freedom, but he is still sent to the Xuchang Army Farm in Henan Province to work. In October 1976, after smashing the "Gang of Four", Jin Jingmai returned to the Guangzhou Military Region. However, at this time, Jin Jingmai was still burdened with historical burdens and was not rehabilitated.

After crushing the "Gang of Four", the central government continued to "expose and investigate" the wrong behavior of the "Gang of Four". At this time, Jin Jingmai had not yet been rehabilitated. In July 1978, Deng Xiaoping personally inquired about Jin Jingmai's affairs. After learning about Jin Jingmai's situation, Deng Xiaoping was very angry. He issued an instruction: "People who were persecuted by Jiang Qing like Jin Jingmai are not rehabilitated. Do you still need to lift the lid?"

At that time, the central government proposed to "reveal and investigate" the "Gang of Four" to "reveal and investigate", which means to analyze the wrong behavior of the "Gang of Four" in depth and meticulously. However, some local leaders were still obsessed with it and implemented "covering and investigating" the "Gang of Four". For example, Wang Huaixiang, secretary of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee, is a typical representative of "covering and inspecting", and he was subsequently revoked.

From Deng Xiaoping’s remarks, we can see that he was very angry, and the Guangzhou Military Region also attaches great importance to this matter. After that, Xu Shiyou, who was then the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, held a meeting in the auditorium of the Military Region Command to personally rehabilitate Jin Jingmai. With the help of Deng Xiaoping and Xu Shiyou, Kim Jingmai also restored all his reputation. Since then, Kim Jingmai participated in self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and continued to create military dramas. In his later years, Jin Jingmai mainly lived in Guangzhou and lived a dull life. He died of illness in 2020 at the age of 90.
