Eating pot pulp welcomes the People's Liberation Army into the city, so happy that it can't speak?

In the end, it is a 96-year-old person, Wen Qihuang's eyesight and hearing are not very good, and his reaction is a bit slow. However, in addition, he is in good physical condition, clear thinking, and good memory. "Many things will not be forgotten, especially the scene that will always remember to welcome the People's Liberation Army into the city." Mr. Wen said that the moment he shook hands with the People's Liberation Army outside Liling as an underground party member, he knew he had chosen the right path and was determined to go on forever.

At the end of 1925, Wen Qihuang was born in Liling, a not-so-poor family, and his family had the conditions for him to study for more than ten years. While studying at Xiangdong Middle School, Wen Qihuang embraced progressive ideas. "At that time, it was really boring. When will the country be invaded by foreign enemies and the people oppressed by officials and gentry? What am I going to do? What can I do? The young Man Wen Qihuang, who longed for light, met the lamplighter of the revolutionary road, his English teacher, an underground communist party member. At the teacher's place, Wen Qihuang read some progressive books and newspapers, and heard many stories of saving the country and saving the people. "I know that there is such a party that represents the people and is struggling for the country and the nation. I knew I had found my way. ”

Because of the school riot with teachers and classmates, Wen Qihuang was expelled from the school. Later, he went to Hengshan, was admitted to Yueyun Middle School, completed high school and returned to his hometown. At the beginning of 1949, at the teacher's home, Wen Qihuang secretly swore an oath to join the party.

In May 1949, Wen Qihuang was appointed by the party organization to work as a reporter for a newspaper run by the Kuomintang. He used his pen as a gun to beat the darkness of the officialdom and speak for the common people.

On July 20, 1949, Pingjiang was liberated. The Kuomintang garrison in Liling fled in the wind, and the county magistrate Xiao Daobai led the local armed forces to evacuate the county seat and prepare for an uprising. On July 25, the People's Liberation Army entered the city and Liling was liberated.

Wen Qihuang remembered that he had received orders: to go outside the city to welcome the People's Liberation Army into the city and show them the way. It was the height of summer, and his native cloth clothes were soaked and dried several times, "I was so excited and excited, I sweated a lot." The moment I saw the People's Liberation Army, I suddenly couldn't speak, rushed up to shake their hands, and the feeling of happiness could not be described. After entering the city, in the procession to welcome the People's Liberation Army, Wen Qihuang met Lu Lin, a primary school teacher two years younger than him, and two years later they married and stayed together for 61 years, and in 2012 Lu Lin died of illness.

The People's Liberation Army entered the city and took over all aspects of affairs, including the newspaper where Wen Qihuang used to work. His pen began to dance for the newborn people of Liling and Liling. Not long after, Wen Qihuang was sent to study at the training class for news cadres at the Hunan branch of xinhua news agency.

Hunan was peacefully liberated, and after completing his studies, Wen Qihuang was assigned to work at the Xiangtan Construction Newspaper, still working as a journalist. A few years later, he was transferred to the third middle school of the city as the head of the liberal arts teaching and research team. In 1990, at the age of 65, Wen Qihuang retired from the former Xiangtan Suburban Education Bureau.

"I always feel that compared to the party's training of me, I have done too little." "While still remembering, while still seeing the moving pen, I write down those things and let people who don't know know it, which is also a small contribution." More than a decade ago, Wen Qihuang began to slowly write reminiscence articles and created some ancient poems. His poems, praising the prosperity of the world, praising the mountains and rivers, are both nostalgia and expectation.

箪食壶 pulp (pinyin: dān shí hú jiāng) is a Chinese idiom that first came from the Warring States Mengke, his disciples and their re-disciples Mencius Lianghui Wangshang.

The original meaning of "pot pulp" is that the people use rice and soup to welcome their beloved army; describe the situation in which the army is warmly supported and welcomed by the masses; it can be used as an adjective in sentences; and it is often used in conjunction with "greeting".

Warring States Meng Ke, his disciples and their re-disciples,"Mencius LiangHui Wang Shang": "Eat pot pulp to welcome the king's master." Isn't there such a thing? Avoid water and fire also. ”

During the Warring States period, the Seven Kingdoms were in strife, and wars often occurred between the countries. In 313 BC, king Huan of Yan abdicated and gave way to The Prince of Yan, who was disobedient to the prince of Xiangguo, and launched a rebellion to kill the son. Zizhi led an army to counterattack, killing Zi Yu and Prince Ping, the Yan kingdom was in chaos, and the people were trapped in the waters. Therefore, the Qi army took advantage of this favorable opportunity to gain the support of the people of the Yan state, and in just fifty days, it defeated the Yan army in one fell swoop and captured most of the territory of the Yan state.

King Xuan of Qi was very proud and wanted to take this opportunity to completely annex the State of Yan, so he went to consult Mencius: "Some people persuade the widows not to occupy the State of Yan, but some people also persuade the widows to occupy the State of Yan. The State of Qi is the country of ten thousand multipliers, the country of Yan is also the country of ten thousand multipliers, and now we are using the country of ten thousand multipliers to fight against the country of ten thousand multipliers, and in just fifty days we have conquered the country of Yan, and manpower will never be able to do such a thing, this is probably Providence, it seems that Providence wants us to occupy the country of Yan, if we do not do this, Heaven is afraid that disasters will bring down disasters to punish us. Therefore, the widows very much want to completely occupy the Yan country on this, what does Mr. Think? ”

After hearing this, Mencius replied, "Whether or not the Great King occupies the Yan kingdom is decided by the will of the people. If the great king occupies the Yan kingdom, and the people of the Yan country rejoice, then they can occupy the Yan country. Some people among the ancients also did this, and this is the reason why the Wu King destroyed the Shang. If the great king occupies the Yan country, and the people of the Yan country do not welcome us, then we cannot occupy the Yan country. Some people among the ancients also did this, when King Wen was king, there were two of the three worlds, but he did not attack the Shang Dynasty, which is the truth. Now that the great king is crusading against the country of ten thousand multipliers, and the people of the Yan kingdom are holding rice with bamboo baskets and filling water with pots, and welcoming the arrival of the king's army in the middle of the road, is there any other reason? It was nothing more than trying to end the original difficult life. If after the great king occupies the Yan kingdom, the water is deeper and the fire is hotter, then the people of the Yan country will escape this difficult life again, and they will long for the arrival of other rescuers, so even if the king occupies the Yan country, it will not last long. ”

Idiom meaning

Mencius took the support of the people as the criterion for occupying the Yan state, and he realized that the masses of the people were the basis for the survival of the state power. As the saying goes, "Winning the hearts of the people will win the world, and losing the hearts of the people will lose the world." "If a country has a back to heart, even if it is invaded by a foreign enemy, it will be unbreakable." On the contrary, the rule is violent, the people's hearts are scattered, the people's lives are in dire straits, and even the people are in a situation where they rise up, and such a state power is like a bird's nest in the wind and rain, which may be subverted at any time.
