Hongyan Reading Notes
"No matter how heavy iron shackles ring under my feet, no matter how high you raise the whip, I don't need any "confession", even if my chest is facing Bloody bayonets! People can't lower their noble heads. Only those who are afraid of death can beg for "freedom"; what can I achieve by torture? Death can't make me speak! I laugh loudly at death, and the devil's palace is in laughter. Shaken; this is the "confession" of me, a Communist Party member, singing a triumphant song to bury the Jiang Dynasty." This poem comes from the poem "My "Confession" in the novel "Red Rock" by Luo Guangbin and Yang Yiyan. , is a famous poem written by the young Communist Party member and revolutionary martyr Chen Ran (the real-life prototype of Cheng Gang in "Red Rock") in prison when he faced severe torture and death threats from the enemy. On October 28, 1949, Chen Ran was killed by Kuomintang agents. He was only 26 years old when he died. He fulfilled his solemn oath to the party with his own life: "As long as there is breath left, we will fight for the revolution to the end!" Many centuries have passed in a hurry, but standing at the beginning of the new century, we suddenly look back and see that the passionate pride bred by poetry remains unchanged. It ripples along with the sound of waves lapping against the rocks on the shore.
