Speaking of Shandong, it is a very popular city, but there have been many unsatisfactory events in Shandong in history. As early as the Qing Dynasty, a Sino-Japanese War, the defeat of the Beiyang Navy, and the unequal treaty signed by the Qing government led to the leasing of the cities of Qingdao and Weihai to Germany and Britain respectively. During the Republic of China period and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army occupied Shandong again, and it was not until the time of the Liberation War that the Changshan Archipelago was liberated and Shandong Province was completely liberated.
Especially during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, after the Japanese army occupied Shandong, artillery towers and pillboxes were built in many places in Shandong, and it was actually difficult to capture a turret during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because the artillery towers built by the Japanese army were very strong. Today's talk is related to the artillery tower left by the Japanese army, in Shandong a family of 5 generations lived in the Japanese artillery tower for 58 years, and because the wall is too thick, the light ventilation heating has been on for 20 years.
This incident is about the family of Sun Congxiao in Qingdao, Shandong, whose family is very famous in the local area, because the family lived in the artillery tower left by the Japanese army.
According to Mr. Sun, this turret was built by the Japanese army in 1938, 82 years ago. At that time, after the founding of New China, many houses next to the artillery tower were assigned to Sun Congxiao's father in the power department to work in the power department, and later used as a staff dormitory, and later directly assigned to Sun Congxiao's father.
Since following his father to work, Sun Congxiao has been living in the turret. When they married in 1975, the turret was also used as a wedding room. The turret is divided into three floors and has been renovated since it was moved in. Later, the government also gave them the property certificate of the turret.
We all know that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army hid in the turret and did not come out, and it was difficult to capture a turret. The Japanese army built the main artillery tower with stone and bricks, plus a layer of cement on the outside, and the walls were 70 to 80 centimeters thick.
Therefore, Sun Congxiao said since he lived in this turret that it is difficult to transform it, and the wall of this turret where he lives is 72 centimeters, and many of the turrets are built with large stones, and it can also be seen that the Japanese army at that time also forced a lot of domestic and manually lifted it.
And Sun Congxiao every time to get through the water and electricity is the most difficult time, because it is a stone, with ordinary electric drill is not chiseled, so many times, the thread is from the left behind gun hole through. In particular, the heating of the turret, because the walls are too thick, it took a full 20 years to heat the heating, which is also very difficult.
Sun Congxiao had younger siblings, they had been living in the turret, and then the younger brother got married and moved out, and the younger sister also moved out when she got married, while Sun Congxiao never moved out. Five generations of their family lived in this turret.
Later, the living conditions were better, and Sun Congxiao also bought a house outside, but because his heart could not put down this turret, Sun Congxiao and his wife also moved in from time to time.
This turret not only witnessed the historical development of Shandong, but also witnessed the family changes of Sun Congxiao, and for Sun Congxiao, this turret is his root.
