Don't ask me where I came from (forty-two) a ship of red China, and the masses follow the party

In 1999, Jiaxing students led by primary school classmate Yang Youjin and teacher Yang Fengsheng and his son organized a primary school alumni association.

When I arrived in Jiaxing, I made a phone call in a hurry, but I didn't expect it to become a joke. "Hey! Hello! "Who are you looking for?" "I'm looking for Xiao Mao!" "Are you looking for Xiao Mao?" Who is Xiao Mao? "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm looking for Yang Youjin." "Oh, looking for the deputy mayor, right?" Look at me, I haven't been back to Jiaxing for a long time, I don't even know this, and I actually called the deputy mayor XiaoMao? No, it's a joke again? What a courtesy!

Speaking of Yang Youjin, the nickname is Xiao Mao, and this nickname can be known to everyone. He wasn't just my old classmate, he was an old neighbor. When my mother entered the factory, we lived in Wangjiafang, and next door was Yang Youjin's house. His family has a lot of people, there are many houses, there are two rooms next to us, a new house just built in front of him also has two big rooms, this next to a big room is Li Guangdi's family, I heard that it seems to be relatives, I was still young at that time, I never understood the relationship between these relatives.

My brother Yang Yougen, who joined the army to go to North Korea during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, became our most lovely person, and I have seen the photos he sent back from North Korea, and the future sister-in-law is very short, standing on the snow, and his brother is standing in the tunnel, so that the height gap between the brothers and sisters-in-law has narrowed. I think it's funny.

My sister's name is Doll, and I remember that when we first saw her, she was still wearing open crotch pants, because her surname was Yang, so we all called her "Doll". Later, Yang Youjin and I became classmates again, he performed very well, had good grades, was the head of the class, and every time the national flag was raised, he stood in front of the commander's platform and clapped, pointing out that everyone sang the national anthem.

At that time, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we called the Soviet Union Big Brother, learned from Big Brother, wore Soviet flower cloth, and also released Soviet films, and also screened original Russian films at the Sino-Soviet Friendship Museum in Shanghai. We put here "Happy Life", "Toward Life" and other films are the most popular, especially when we watch "Toward Life", after seeing those young people who are full of vitality, hard work, hard work, create a happy life, and change the face of the motherland, everyone is eager to try, and they all want to use labor to transform the world. Just a certain mechanical manufacturing technical school in Hangzhou came to Jiaxing to enroll, everyone enthusiastically signed up, Yang Youjin reported the name, I also followed the name, the result was that when it came to the exam, I made a mistake, this is a technical secondary school, if you are admitted, you can not go to college, my Zhejiang University dream is in vain. I didn't go to the exam. Yang Youjin, of course, was admitted, and worked hard there until he became the vice mayor of Jiaxing. We are proud of Yang Youjin, proud of Yang Youjin! Later, Yang Youjin led us to the South Lake to visit the South Lake Red Boat.

In August, the South Lake is scorching, and the island in the middle of the lake is full of tourists. Our group of white-haired elderly people are particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Growing up by the South Lake since childhood, singing the water of the South Lake, eating the hornless diamond of the South Lake, how familiar, how kind, how loving it is to the green South Lake water!

At this time, standing at the bow of the ship, how can we not be excited and have a thousand thoughts!

More than a hundred years ago, on July 23, 1921, it was a Saturday, a calm and extraordinary day. In the darkness of the night, more than a dozen people dressed in different costumes walked from the back door into No. 106 Wangzhi Road in the French Concession of Shanghai. They were Shanghai deputies Li Da and Li Hanjun, Beijing deputies Zhang Guotao and Liu Renjing, Changsha deputies Mao Zedong and He Shuheng, Wuhan deputies Dong Biwu and Chen Tanqiu, Jinan deputies Wang Gemei and Deng Enming, Guangzhou deputies Chen Gongbo, traveling to Japan representative Zhou Fohai, and Representative Bao Huisheng, designated by Chen Duxiu. Representatives of the Comintern, Marin and Nikolsky, also attended the congress.

100 years ago, a painting boat that rippled with the waves opened a new page in Chinese history. More than a hundred years ago, in the summer of 1921, the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was transferred from Shanghai to Jiaxing in a painting boat, solemnly announcing the birth of the Communist Party of China. As a result, this painting ship received a name that will forever be recorded in the annals of the Chinese revolution, the Red Boat, which became a symbol of the source of the Chinese revolution.

The red ship, not only because the hull color is red, but more importantly, it shows a lofty faith and is the place where the Chinese Communist Party's dream sets sail. A ship of red China, the masses follow the party. The little red boat carried thousands of junks, sowed the seeds of the Chinese revolution, and opened the cross-century voyage of the Communist Party of China.
