What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
At the beginning of Japan's all-out invasion of China, in the face of enemies who shared the same enemy, the two major political parties in the country reached a unanimous policy, changing part of the Communist Army into the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army administers the army strictly, the rules and regulations in the army are even more meticulous, and in addition, the work style is excellent, protecting the lives and safety of the people internally, and externally it also makes the aggressors feel frightened and becomes a benchmark in the army.
In "The Great Cause of Army Building," this army with excellent work style is also mentioned many times, and the military activities carried out at the juncture of national life and death are also many times to save the nation from water and fire, which can be described as a good army of the people. In the TV series "Bright Sword", the style of the Eighth Route Army is also mentioned many times, such as Mao Zedong's stipulation not to take a point from the masses, and to borrow things to have an IOU.
The Japanese invasion of China
At the beginning of the founding of the Eighth Route Army, the army was poor and the preparation of weapons was relatively backward. However, soldiers should have the discipline of soldiers, and naturally they should overcome all difficulties and face difficulties. However, the Eighth Route Army will also encounter some unsolvable problems, and at this time it is necessary to borrow money from the masses of the people.
The Eighth Route Army naturally borrows and repays, and will definitely not take people's needles and threads in vain, and this IOU naturally needs to be fought. For example, an old farmer in Hunan took out the IOU laid down by the Eighth Route Army at that time, which was an IOU from 70 years ago, and the IOU stated that the Eighth Route Army had borrowed 420 oceans.
The fine style of the Red Army simply shocked future generations, and in the case of extreme shortage of materials, although the Red Army borrowed the grain of the common people, it left behind coins that were higher than the market price.
Zhou Yanguang was an ordinary farmer in Hunan, but after owning a 1945 IOU, this farmer was destined to be no longer ordinary. When the Red Army was fighting for the country, Zhou Yanguang's father took out the food that the Red Army needed most to help the Red Army tide over the difficulties. The Red Army naturally adhered to the strict discipline in the army and absolutely did not take a needle and a thread, but in order to make up for Zhou Yanguang's father, it laid an IOU.
After 79 years, the IOU at that time had long been yellowed, but the handwriting on the IOU was still very clear, recording the silver dollars and materials owed by the Red Army, and the most surprising thing was that the payment of this IOU was not an ordinary person, but the famous Marshal He Long. As soon as this matter was exposed, it attracted widespread attention. Seventy years after the note, and it is still a relic left by the Red Army at that time, which naturally attracted great repercussions in society. However, people are also afraid that this IOU is not true, there is a suspicion of fabricating their own forgery, and they also sent someone to consult the old man.
At that time, the youngest Red Army in China went to visit Zhou Yanguang, and through some chats with Zhou Yanguang, it was determined that this IOU was indeed left by the Red Army at that time, and it was indeed an ironclad evidence. Once this IOU was confirmed by the Red Army, its value was naturally extraordinary, and there were countless people who came to Zhou Yanguang's home to ask for a sight, of course, there were also some cultural relics protection units or individuals who requested Zhou Yanguang to transfer.
At that time, 420 pieces of ocean was already a lot of wealth, and in the extreme shortage of materials at that time, this money could make a poor family live a good life. However, if it is judged according to today's value, these 420 oceans have already appreciated in value, and compared with the purchasing power of the same period, his value is at least about 50,000 yuan.
Coupled with this is a historically significant IOU, symbolizing the style and discipline of the Red Army at that time, not a piece of empty speech, so his value should be far more than 50,000 yuan.
Ious
So how much this IOU is worth is no longer incalculable. However, because of the existence of this IOU, it is convenient for historians to understand the route and trajectory of the Red Army's operations at that time, and it is also of certain significance for the filling of Chinese history. At the same time, in the era of war, all families are hungry, but Zhou Yanguang's father still resolutely took out such a large amount of money to fund the Red Army, and his spirit is also impressive, and the things he did for the Chinese revolution are worth remembering for any of us.
epilogue
At countless turning points in history, China's military has made indelible contributions. But without the cooperation of the Chinese masses, the Red Army would not have been able to go smoothly. Therefore, the victory of this War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is not only a victory for the Chinese army, but also a victory for the Chinese people, which is the result of the joint efforts of hundreds of millions of Chinese and fascists. This history deserves the touch of any one of us, and under the conditions of poverty at that time, Chinese still worked together to resist our common enemy. None of us Chinese can forget the difficulty for which our ancestors struggled.
