Gangzhu in Jinggangshan
? Author: Yuan Ying
Among the 500-mile forests in Jinggangshan, bamboo is the most memorable one.
Looking from a distance, it is gloomy, overlapping and endless. When you look closer, some of them are straight and upright, like sentries on the mountains in those days; Some are dense, like Indiana Jones lying in a deep depression; Some don't look long, but they are also slim and graceful, so don't look at them.
"The bamboo in Jinggangshan is revolutionary bamboo!" Jinggangshan people love to say so proudly.
There is a saying: there are countless bamboos in the world, and Jinggangshan is the first bamboo.
Yes, the soldiers who defended the first red regime with their own blood and sweat, who doesn't remember the bamboo on Jinggangshan? Use it to set up a tent; Use it to make darts; Use it as a jar to hold water and as a bowl to steam rice; Use it as a shoulder pole and a flamethrower; In Huang Yangjie and Bamian Mountain, it was also used to set up a three-mile bamboo nail array, which made many white bandits stunned and whined. Nowadays, bamboo nails are no longer used as weapons, but who can forget them?
Look, there are two cousins on the mountain road. One is holding a bamboo tube. What is this? Isn't this the nitrate tank of the Red Army? Otherwise, is it a meal for the Red Army on the mountain? These two small bamboo tubes can remind cousins of the food they risked their lives to send up the mountain after crossing the blockade of the white bandits, and of the years when the mountain was short of food. At that time, the Red Army could only fill its hunger with pumpkins every day, but the comrades still sang happily: "Eat pumpkins every day, and the revolution will conquer the world!"
Look at that row of bamboo poles, how tough and strong they are, and the heaviest carrier can carry them. Where was Commissioner Mao in those days just food? Is China's proletarian revolution! Our older generation of proletarian revolutionaries shouldered this burden with bamboo poles in Jinggangshan, which is related to the fate of all China people from Jinggangshan to Peking.
Commissioner Mao and Zhu went down the mountain, and so did the Red Army. The bamboo in Jinggangshan is as unyielding as the people in Jinggangshan. Bloodshed and Mao Zhuqing are yellow and blue. They don't bow to cruelty or enemies. Bamboo leaves are burned, with bamboo branches, broken bamboo branches, bamboo whips and bamboo roots buried deep underground. "Wildfire never completely devoured them, and they grew taller in the spring breeze." Spring is still the endless bamboo that shows infinite vitality to the earth all over the mountains.
Bamboo is old, to demonstrate to the enemy; Jinggangshan can't be crushed or burned. Bamboo is old and green. In order to wait for relatives, they wait for steaming rice with water in bamboo tubes, beating the Red Army of the white bandits with bamboo nails and guns, and waiting for their brave children. Waiting for morning and dusk, waiting for a long twenty years. Twenty years later, bamboo is still so green and dense, and Jinggangshan has finally changed!
In order to make Jinggangshan faster, the Party has brought 2,000 outstanding sons and daughters to develop this Wanbao with the people of Jinggangshan. When they came to the mountain, the first thing they did was to come to the bamboo forest and build a house with this green bamboo. They followed the footsteps of the old Red Army, climbed mountains and mountains, and steamed rice with bamboo tubes. Looking around, bamboo has been hidden in deep depressions for many years. It is said that there are more than 1000 million bamboos, and they will never be cut down in turn.
Nowadays, if you walk through many valleys in Jinggangshan, you can see slender bamboo slides. They hung almost straight from the top of the mountain through the bamboo forest. This is the performance of the heroic Jinggangshan people. They sent away hundreds of days and nights in the bamboo forest, and sent out more than one million bamboos with bamboo slides and water slides. How much sweat the people of Jinggangshan have lost from these millions of bamboos is incalculable. How many steep cliffs they climbed in order to set up the slide; They crossed many winding valleys and beaches in order to find waterways. Braving the snowstorm, more than 200 young men and women came to the deep mountain more than 60 miles away from Ciping, and they wanted to cut down more than 300,000 bamboo plants in the depths of the uninhabited forest around 20 miles. Snow flying all over the sky and blocking mountains and roads can't shake people's will and put out the blazing fire in people's hearts. The snowstorm is getting bigger every day, people's enthusiasm is getting stronger every day, the cut bamboo is piled higher every day, and the bamboo bridge built between the two high mountains is getting longer every day. When the azaleas were in full bloom all over the mountain, the heroes finally sang the song of triumph, and sent away the 300,000 bamboos they had cut and let them fly down the mountain singing along the slide around the mountain.
Look, look, isn't this another batch of newly cut bamboo sliding down the mountain? These green bamboos roared through the clouds along the slender slide. They slipped down the stream, turned into the river, flowed into the Ganjiang River, got on the train and embarked on a long journey. Bamboo in Jinggangshan! Go, go, go! How many construction sites, how many factories and mines, how many high-rise buildings, how many cities and rural areas are waiting for you!
Bamboo in Jinggangshan, you are a revolutionary bamboo! You are always so green, always so tall and straight, rain or shine, and never change color; Knife cuts fire, never bow-you are the symbol of the hero Jinggangshan.
