In the Twelve Hours of Chang'an, there are many very delicious delicacies, such as water basin lamb, pepper cake and fire crystal persimmon. The old Gebu Bridge in Fushun can be built into the "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" Food Bridge and the Historical and Cultural Corridor of Fushun Bridge.
The 82-year-old Gebu Bridge carries too much history of Fushun people, please see Fushun people's historical watch and current situation reverie of this bridge.
The historical background of Fushun Bridge is bitter
The old Gebu Bridge in Fushun City was originally named Fushun Bridge, which was built with the development of Fushun coal industry, making up for the lack of railway capacity at that time.
Fushun Old Gebu Bridge
In 1932, the National Highway Bureau of the puppet Manchu government planned to build this bridge across the Hun River in order to build the national highway between Shenyang and Fushun.
It was designed in 1933, construction began in 1935, and was completed at the end of September 1937. The length of the bridge is 719.5 meters, and the river body is 8 meters high and 7.5 meters wide from the bridge, with a total of 33 holes. If the two lanes are driven side by side, only 0.5 meters are left on both sides, and the bridge deck is too narrow, which is inconvenient for traffic.
Bird's eye view of the Old Gebu Bridge and the New Gebu Bridge
However, in 1937, this bridge was majestic, no less than the Yangtze River Bridge today.
According to records, during the construction of the Fushun Bridge, the Japanese and traitors forcibly carried out the construction regardless of the lives of the workers, resulting in the collapse of the bridge for two consecutive times, resulting in serious casualties among the bridge construction workers.
This bridge also embodies the wisdom of Fushun laborers and the bitter history of blood and sweat.
On the day of the completion ceremony, Hideo Goto, the mayor of Fushun City, presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony, invited Japanese monks from fushun shrines, lined up on the south side of the bridge to chant the "exorcism" scripture, and distributed two small fruits (snacks) to each of the primary and secondary school students who participated in the completion ceremony of the bridge.
Fushun Shao Fourth Master "knotted" Fushun Gebu Old Bridge
Three years after the opening of the old Gebu Bridge, due to the wealth needs of the Japanese Empire to "complete the Great East Asian Holy War", the Fushun Municipal Office (local government) in the puppet Manchu period, together with the police and constitutional organs, forcibly sold the Gebu Bridge to Shao Baolian (zi rangzhi, known as Shao Siye), the rich family of Fushun, for a huge amount of money in Manchurian coins, and Shao Siye bought this property right for 10,000 yuan in counterfeit currency.
New and old Gebu Bridge
Because Shao Siye was afraid of being blackmailed again, he adopted the strategy of "going up", so he built a Shao family temple, the Guandi Temple, in the nest of the highest peak of the Crescent Mountain in Hougebu Street, cut his hair and became a monk, "transcendent dust", and lived a life of cultivation and cultivation and indisputable life.
In 1945, after the restoration of the "August 1st Five-Year Plan", Shao Baolian hurriedly returned to the Shao family compound and regrouped, and after liberation, Shao Baolian died of illness in Beijing.
The old bridge of Gebu has experienced the baptism of fire
Due to the quality of construction and the baptism of fire, the Old Bridge of Gebu has had two "falling bridge" accidents after liberation, and has been overhauled in 1951, 1956 and 1973.
This old Gebu Bridge was the main transportation route connecting Fushun City to the north and south banks of the Hun River at that time, and it was quite important in military strategy.
On March 31, 1946, the Kuomintang 52nd Army garrison fushun, the Northeast People's Autonomous Army from the strategic shift, in order to prevent the 52nd Army's attack, had carried out explosive blasting on the Gebu Bridge, so that the middle bridge plate two holes were broken, the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th four piers were damaged, the Kuomintang troops stationed in Fushun repaired the bridge.
On the night of October 30, 1948, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) encircled and attacked the Nationalist defenders of Fushun, and the enemy garrison headquarters (Unit 9276), which served as the city defense, also deployed to blow up the Gebu Bridge, but due to the rapid advance of the People's Liberation Army, the plan to blow up the bridge failed, ensuring that the People's Liberation Army could advance unimpeded, and the next day announced the liberation of Fushun.
The past and present status of the New Gebu Bridge and the Old Gebu Bridge
In 1982, Fushun City built the New Gebu Bridge 127 meters west of the Old Gebu Bridge, and the bridge is still in operation today. It seems that the new Gebu Bridge has also recently proposed plans for major repairs. Because the bridge carries too many loads, we can often see congested vehicles on the bridge deck, and sometimes the entire bridge deck is congested to the north and south.
Status quo of the Old Gebu Bridge
The love affair between the old Gebu Bridge and lei feng stadium
It is hoped that the sidewalk of the old Gebu Bridge will be restored and a patriotic education bridge of "not forgetting the original heart" will be built.
For some time, the old Gebu Bridge has been turned into a pedestrian bridge and leads directly to lei feng stadium, hoping that the relevant departments will restore this function. At that time, the bridge was very lively, as if it were a market. It is also possible to build a food street bridge.
Gebu Bridge
Fushun Leifeng Stadium I remember was built in 1996, August 18 inauguration ceremony, when I also responded to the call of Fushun and the unit, donated a month's salary, estimated to be 400 yuan. The stadium has an investment of 140 million yuan, with a construction area of 3.6 square meters and a capacity of about 35,000 people.
At that time, every citizen of Quanfushun City donated money. When Lei Feng Stadium was built, Gebu Bridge was an old bridge, and at that time it was limited to pedestrians and cars and horse-drawn carriages.
On September 3, 1996, Fushun Leifeng Stadium successfully hosted the 7th Liaoning Provincial Games. Wang Junxia passed on the torch of the Provincial Seven Games.
At that time, the national football tournament, the CCTV broadcast van, stopped under this bridge. Many fans took their tickets and passed through here to enter lei feng stadium. The barbed wire around it is still there, and it was the armed police who held the door at that time. There are also many fans who do not have tickets, so they look at the big screen on the top of this bridge and listen to the commentary, which is also a pleasure.
During 2009, fushun city large-scale sports events and concerts were also held here. Zhou Huajian sang "Friends" here, as well as Qi Qin's "About Winter" resounded here, and the audience who did not buy tickets at that time listened to the song on the bridge and enjoyed the feeling of being there without a ticket.
It was also an informal market, with sellers of Vietnamese white tiger balm, fortune tellers, balloons and barbecues, and book stalls.
At that time, I often rode my bicycle from this Gebu Old Bridge to pass, and the scenery of this bridge could lead directly to Fushun Leifeng Stadium in the north and the endless traffic flow of the New Gebu Bridge in the west.
Around 2012, the bridge was sealed, until now. Looking at the damaged bridge deck and neglecting management, I call on the relevant departments to repair this 82-year-old bridge. You can walk and ride, you can also build a historical education base that does not forget the original heart, on both sides of the bridge, hang up the history of the bridge, pictures and texts, as well as physical objects, etc., so that the bridge tells the history, let the narrator tell the story of the history of watching.
The current situation of the old Gebu Bridge is overgrown with trees
Casual seats can be placed around the bridge, and there are book stalls and tourist snacks, and dumplings and snacks from Yong'an Star can be operated on this bridge, and tourist toys can be sold in Fushun. Bringing the Old Bridge back to life, this is my historical watchfulness and current situation of the Old Bridge.
