Peonies flourish to the sun, and eagles and birds dance. - Anon
Seventy-two years of spring and autumn have passed in a flash, and New China has ushered in today's grand situation: in the poetry and painting of landscapes and rivers, the people laugh and sing. We praise our beautiful motherland, sing the praises of these mountains and rivers, and in the midst of great emotion, we will never forget those ancestors who paid for us, those heroes who are not afraid of life and death, and who are not afraid of hardships.
Recalling the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, how much suffering can be complained to? In the face of thorny meadows, heavy peaks, bumpy and muddy paths, there are countless heroes who sprinkle their blood here, throw away their heads, and wrap their bodies in Magee. Until the golden autumn of that year in October, in the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, a five-star red flag was raised, and a giant declared here that the People's Republic of China was founded.
As the years passed, a few years passed, and one afternoon in 1977, an old man wept silently in front of the tomb of martyr Fang Zhimin, claiming that he had failed to live up to his expectations, and this old man was huang Wei, the former commander of the Kuomintang 12th Corps.
Confidants are hard to come by
On February 28, 1904, the weather was no longer so cold, and under the sun, there was even a little taste of spring. On that day, Huang Wei was born in a peasant family in Shengyuan Township, Guixi, Jiangxi, but not long after, his father died, which made the family that was not rich even worse.
Fortunately, the young Huang Wei was diligent enough, and at the age of 14, he was successfully admitted to the Jiangxi Provincial Fourth Normal School with his excellent results. Here, he met the eldest brother who influenced his life, Fang Zhimin.
Fang Zhimin is 4 years older than Huang Wei, and the two can be said to have seen each other at first sight, talked happily, and usually called each other brothers. For this Huang Wei, who is younger than himself and has left home for the first time, Fang Zhimin takes care of him more like a brother. And the young Huang Wei was also deeply impressed by Fang Zhimin's mature and stable, polite temperament, and he liked this big brother in his heart.
Suddenly, one day, Huang Wei, who came to Fang Zhimin to talk about the problem, inadvertently glimpsed the books and periodicals such as "New Youth" and "Guide" on Fang Zhimin's desk, and was immediately attracted to the eyes. Huang Wei picked up the book on the table and read it with relish, the contents of the book were something he had never seen before, and it was very curious.
Huang Wei asked Fang Zhimin with great interest why he had so many good books, could he borrow him to go back and see, Fang Zhimin agreed with a mouthful, and also suggested that he could usually read more such books.
In the book, Huang Wei learned for the first time about the call to overthrow the warlord powers, guide the struggle of the oppressed nations, and seek liberation, and at the same time, Huang Wei's state of mind also changed. When returning the book to Fang Zhimin, Huang Wei asked, "What does Brother Fang plan to do in the future?" ”
Fang Zhimin said excitedly: "I plan to throw in my pen and go to Guangzhou Province to find Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and I must follow him to do a great cause and make contributions to the nation." Under Fang Zhimin's passionate words, Huang Wei also suddenly had an idea of wanting to work hard with Fang Zhimin.
At that time, Huang Wei returned home to teach after finishing his studies, and if there was no Fang Zhimin, Huang Wei might really be a teacher for the rest of his life.
Goodbye Guangzhou
Under the influence of Fang Zhimin, Huang Wei, who graduated and returned to his hometown to teach at school, always wanted to contribute to the country, while Fang Zhimin went to Nanchang to work. Coincidentally, a year later, the news came from Guangzhou that Sun Yat-sen planned to establish the Whampoa Military Academy there, and at this time, Huang Wei could no longer resist the excitement in his heart, and immediately got up to find his eldest brother Fang Zhimin to participate.
As everyone knows, Fang Zhimin at this time had already participated in the revolutionary struggle, and even more in his hometown of Geyang Hengfeng personally created the revolutionary base area in northeast Jiangxi. Huang Wei, who had gone to Nanchang overnight to look for Fang Zhimin, saw the tall man at the entrance of the railway station, who was standing in the crowd talking and talking loudly, calling out loudly to the people for unity, to fight the warlords, and to establish a free and democratic new China.
The confident and upright back made Huang Wei recognize it at a glance. At Huang Wei's suggestion, the two decided to go to Guangzhou together to try their luck. After arriving in Guangzhou, the Whampoa Military Academy did not start enrolling students for a long time, and many people even began to rumor that the Whampoa Military Academy might not be able to hold it.
For Huang Wei, this is bad news. Huang Wei's family situation is not good, going back and forth has already cost him a lot of entanglement, if he is still in Guangzhou, it is very unfavorable to himself, in such an environment, Huang Wei has the intention of returning to Jiangxi.
Fang Zhimin could not bear Huang Wei to give up his dream, so he found an acquaintance, introduced Huang Wei to a small job, and had an economic source. With the help of Fang Zhimin, Huang Wei'an spent three months in peace, at this time, the long-awaited Whampoa Military Academy finally began to enroll.
However, Fang Zhimin planned to leave at this time, telling Huang Wei that he still had some things to do in Shanghai, and when he was finished, he would come back to join him at the Whampoa Military Academy. Huang Wei didn't understand why this was, but he just felt that it must be a very important thing, so he didn't stop it, but who knows, this parting is a farewell forever.
Part company with
With Fang Zhimin's departure, Huang Wei, who was alone in Guangzhou, could not help but feel some trepidation in his heart, and he was really alone. What Huang Wei did not know was that Fang Zhimin had joined the Communist Party of China as early as 1923, and this departure was also because of the sudden task issued above, nor was it that Fang Zhimin did not want to tell Huang Wei that this was just his duty as a party member.
Later, Huang Wei alone participated in the enrollment of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the dream in his heart made the young man like a tiger. Although he was not accompanied by his eldest brother Fang Zhimin, Huang Wei was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy with his own efforts. Since then, the two have parted ways.
In the days that followed, Fang Zhimin participated in countless revolutionary struggles, was the organizer and leader of the revolutionary movement in Jiangxi, and created the earliest batch of Soviet power in the history of the Communist Party of China. The heroic Fang Zhimin also participated in the Geyang Uprising and created the Red Tenth Army with "iron discipline", with outstanding merits.
Unfortunately, Fang Zhimin was caught by the Kuomintang on January 29, 1935, and severely refused the Invitation of the Kuomintang, and was killed on August 6, at the age of 36. Huang Wei, on the other hand, joined the Kuomintang and made a great contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan, and spent a whole week in the Battle of Songhu.
Later, the Japanese army prepared to attack Yunnan, but also under the leadership of Huang Wei, there was a turnaround. Unfortunately, Huang Wei followed the wrong people, and at the instigation of Chiang Kai-shek, Huang Wei participated in the Battle of Huaihai, aided and abetted the abuse, and was finally captured.
Over the course of several years of remodeling, Huang gradually realized his mistake and was pardoned in 1975. Leaving the prison and seeing the blue sky, the world at this time is no longer full of war, but instead a peaceful place, everyone's face is full of happy smiles, and Huang Wei is very guilty in his heart.
In 1977, at the age of 73, Huang Wei came to Fang Zhimin's tomb, looked at the tombstone in front of him, Huang Wei shed tears, choked and said: "Brother Fang, I have failed your expectations." ”
brief summary:
Under the leadership of Fang Zhimin, the young Huang Wei had the enthusiasm to serve the country, but he did not choose the right direction in the end and embarked on the wrong path, but finally woke up.
The years are long, time flies, today we have a peaceful and beautiful life, to thank the ancestors for their efforts, but also to remember their mission, choose the right path, embark on a beautiful road of life.
