Of course, what they feel most deeply is the Communist Party members’ original intentions.
Don’t forget your original intention,
sees revolutionary spirit in him
Time turns back to 80 years ago.
11939, the headquarters of the Advance Column of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Party Committee of the Communist Party of China led the Second Regiment of the Advance Column from guan County , and went to Liuli Temple and Xulou, Gaotang County (both of them were both under 海标) and joined the Jinpu Detachment and the Third Regiment of the Youth Column under the jurisdiction of the column, preparing to go to Dafeng Mountain Area to open an anti-Japanese base. At dawn on the 5th, the advance column and the party committee of the western Shandong District had just arrived in the Liuli Temple area, and encountered the Qiushan Brigade of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in the northern section of the Jinpu Railway. Under the command of commander and political commissar Li Jukui, the advance column fought fiercely for a long time, repelled several enemy charges, broke through the siege at dusk that day and moved to the southeast Dafeng Mountain. During the breakout, Zhao Yiping accidentally lost his glasses. In addition, the sky was dark and he accidentally entered Xulou Village, which had been occupied by the Japanese army. He was shot and injured and fell off his horse and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Japanese army. The brutal enemy tied Zhao Yiping to a jujube tree and used all the tortures and tortures in every way. Zhao Yiping was brave and unyielding, denounced the atrocities of the invaders, which reflected the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party members. The enemy was so angry that he poured gasoline on him and set fire to ignite him. Zhao Yiping sacrificed his young life for the cause of liberation of the Chinese people. He was only 29 years old when he died.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, on June 23, 1946, the Anti-Japanese District Office of the Seventh District of Chiping County built a martyrs' cemetery in Xumiao Village (assigned to Gaotang in 1950), where the remains of 48 anti-Japanese heroes buried in Liuli Temple, Xulou, Dasang, Daluzhuang, Wuying and other villages were moved to the Martyrs' cemetery to commemorate them. In December 1990, the Party Committee and Government of Liulisi Township, Gaotang County renovated the Martyrs Cemetery. In October 1979, the cemetery was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit in Gaotang County ; in March 2001, the cemetery was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit in Liaocheng City.
Don’t forget your original intention. When they saw the battle between Rende and Yifan
on them, Zhang Hongzhu, a villager in Xumiao Village, was not yet 7 years old. He witnessed the fierce battle with his own eyes, and the tenacious will and unyielding spirit of our army also deeply shocked him. After the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea began in 1950, Zhang Hongzhu was the first to sign up for the Volunteer Army in the village. After the end of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhang Hongzhu was arranged to the then Jinan Diesel Engine Factory. But after working for a few days, he always thought about the martyrs buried in his hometown who died in the Anti-Japanese War: "I want to go home, I want to protect the martyrs' cemetery!" In this way, the young man who was just in his early 20s returned to his hometown without hesitation and became a tomb guardian. The guardianship of
will last for a lifetime. For decades, Zhang Hongzhu lived and ate and lived in the cemetery. After getting married, she brought her children to guard the tomb. He repaired the cemetery, leveled the road surface, and planted trees to make green. The young son Zhang Yuping followed behind to help, and the father and son kept guarding the cemetery. In 2012, Zhang Hongzhu passed away. Zhang Yuping took over the "baton" from his father and put all his thoughts in the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Today, Zhang Yueping walks along the road he has walked every day, repeating his father's work, clearing weeds and wiping tombstones. When my father was alive, he always told him that during festivals, he must burn some paper money for the martyrs, set off firecrackers, and put some dumplings in front of the bronze statue of the martyrs to express his condolences. Over the years, Zhang Yueping has been guarding the cemetery according to his father's instructions. He eats and lives in the cemetery almost every day for 365 days a year.
As someone commented: what they father and son guarded was not just the loyal bones of the martyrs, but the backbone of the Chinese nation like the Great Wall. What we can see from their father and son is the kindness and virtue that can show future generations. On the morning of the 126th, facing the visitors, 60-year-old party member Zhang Yuping said emotionally: "Now I treat this cemetery as our ancestral grave. The 48 martyrs buried here are my relatives. When I get old in the future, I will let my son continue this work. Now our beautiful life is exchanged for the martyrs' sacrifices and blood. I hope our next generation can come to pay homage to our heroes, learn their patriotism, and cherish the beautiful life in front of us."
does not forget the original intention,
sees that he will not fade from his retirement
On the morning of the 126th, the bamboo forest, flower house, farm bookstore and a mini "zoo" made a small courtyard in Beixin Village, Liusi Town, Gaotang County more vibrant. The owner of the courtyard is veteran Wang Jian. Since the end of 2016, he has vacated his yard and transformed it into a public welfare place for villagers in the village to study, relax and entertain.
In the farmhouse bookstore, villagers can read books and watch movies here. There are current affairs books such as "Xi Jinping: The Governance of the Country", including professional books such as popular science, legal system, and planting and breeding, as well as literary classics such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and learning books that children can use, which meet the reading needs of different groups of people. Although the bookstore is not big, Wang Jian tried hard to create a cultural atmosphere full of positive energy. Therefore, he hung a piece of calligraphy and painting that famous calligraphers and painters, "Filialty for all virtues is the first", on the wall of the bookstore. Children can play and play in the miniature "zoo".
talked about the original intention of office charity yards. Wang Jian said, "A few years ago, I returned to my hometown and found that the villagers' money bags and grain bags were bulging, and their material level was greatly improved, but their spiritual and cultural needs were not met, so many people gathered together to play mahjong when they were idle, because there were not many cultural and entertainment forms." Wang Jian said that these phenomena made him feel that he had to do something. The yard in his hometown happened to be empty, so he used his free time to clean up and renovate it bit by bit to form the current cultural courtyard. "Although the place is not big, I am really doing it with my heart, such as the bamboo forest at the door. I want to show a positive spirit and a positive energy in this way." Wang Jian said.
Wang Jian, who has 22 years of party membership, said that he is a veteran and hopes will never fade despite being discharged.
