Jinggang Green Bamboo
?Author: Yuan Ying
Five Hundred Miles from Jinggang Mountain In the forest, the most unforgettable thing is the moso bamboo.
Looking from a distance, the mountains are lush and green, overlapping and endless. Looking up close, some are straight and straight, like the sentries on the top of the mountain; some are densely packed, like strange soldiers lying in ambush in the deep depressions; some are not far away, but they are also slim and graceful, with a unique look.
“The bamboo in Jinggangshan is the bamboo of revolution!” Jinggangshan people love to say so proudly.
There is a saying: There are countless bamboos in the world, and the bamboos in Jinggangshan are the first.
Yes, those soldiers who used their blood and sweat to defend the first red regime, who doesn’t remember the green bamboos on Jinggang Mountain? Use it to pitch a tent; use it to make a spear; use it to hold water in a jar; use it as a bowl to steam rice; use it to make a shoulder pole and a fire blower; and use it to put three The ten-mile array of bamboo nails caused many white bandits to lose their souls and make ghosts cry and wolves howl. Nowadays, bamboo nails are no longer used as weapons, but who can forget them?
Look, two old men are walking on the mountain road over there, each carrying a bamboo tube. What's this? Isn’t this the Red Army’s saltpeter tank? Otherwise, are you bringing food to the Red Army on the top of the mountain? These two small bamboo tubes can remind the old people of the food that they risked their lives to deliver to the mountain through 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 eat pumpkins for every meal every day, but the comrades still sang with high spirits: "Eat pumpkins every day, and the revolution will conquer the world!"
Look at how tough the poles made of moso bamboo are, It's so strong that it can handle even the heavy lifting. Where did Comrade Mao Zedong only have food? The pick is China’s proletarian revolution! Our older generation of proletarian revolutionaries used poles made of moso bamboo from Jinggang Mountains to carry this heavy burden related to the destiny of the entire Chinese people, starting from Jinggang Mountains and walking a long way to Beijing.
Commissioner Mao and Commander Zhu went down the mountain, and the Red Army went down the mountain. The moso bamboo in Jinggangshan is as unyielding as the people in Jinggangshan. In the bloody storm, the moso bamboo is green and yellow, and yellow and green again. It does not bow to the cruelty, nor bends to the enemy. The bamboo leaves are burned, and there are still bamboo branches. When the bamboo branches are broken, there are still bamboo whips, and there are still bamboo whips buried deep in the ground. of bamboo roots. "Wildfires never burn out, but the spring breeze blows and grows again." When spring comes, the endless green bamboos all over the mountains and plains, revealing infinite vitality to the earth, are still the same.
The moso bamboo grows year by year in order to demonstrate to the enemy; Jinggangshan cannot be crushed or burned. Moso bamboo grows green every year, in order to wait for relatives, to wait for the Red Army who used bamboo tubes to steam rice, to use bamboo nails and guns to fight white bandits, and to wait for their heroic children. I waited in the morning and at dusk for twenty long years. Twenty years have passed, and the moso bamboo is still so green and dense. Jinggangshan has finally changed into a new world!
In order to make Jinggangshan change faster, the party sent two thousand good people to develop this Wanbao Mountain together with the people of Jinggangshan. When they came up the mountain, the first thing they did was to go to the bamboo forest and build a house based on the green bamboo. They followed the footprints of the old Red Army, climbed the mountains and ridges, and used bamboo tubes to hold water to steam rice. As far as the eye can see, moso bamboo has been hidden in the deep depressions for many years. It is said that there are more than 10 million bamboos, and it is impossible to cut them all in turns.
Nowadays, if you walk through many mountain passes in Jinggang Mountain, you can see slender bamboo slides. They hang almost straight down 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, using bamboo slides and water slides to send more than a million moso bamboos. It is impossible to calculate how much sweat these one million moso bamboos cost the people of Jinggangshan. In order to build the slide, they climbed over many steep cliffs; in order to find the waterway, they traveled through many winding valleys and deserted beaches. Braving a heavy snowstorm, more than 200 young men and women came to the mountains more than 60 miles away from Ciping to complete the task of felling more than 300,000 moso bamboos in the depths of the forest that were not inhabited for more than 20 miles around. The sky is full of wind and snow, sealing the mountains and blocking the roads, but it cannot shake people's will or extinguish the raging fire in people's hearts. The wind and snow are getting stronger day by day, people are getting more energetic day by day, the cut bamboos are piled higher day by day, and the bamboo bridge built for the bamboo slide between two high mountains is also growing longer day by day. When the rhododendrons were blooming all over the mountain, the heroes finally sang a song of victory to send off the 300,000 moso bamboos they had cut down with their own hands, and let them fly down the mountain singing happily along the slide all over the mountain.
Look, look, isn’t this another batch of freshly cut moso bamboo sliding down the mountain? These green bamboos roar through the clouds and fog along the slender slide. They slide down the stream, turn into the river, flow into the Gan River, squeeze into the train, and embark on the long journey. The green bamboos of Jinggangshan! Go, go, go quickly! How many construction sites, how many factories and mines, how many high-rise buildings, how many cities and rural areas are all waiting for you eagerly!
O green bamboo in Jinggangshan, you are the bamboo of revolution! You are always so green, always so tall, you never change your color despite the wind and rain; you are cut with swords and burned by fire, and never bow your head - you are the symbol of the heroic Jinggangshan.
