Wuyi cuckoo red

author:New Fujian

It is another year of spring benefits, the Wuyi Mountain in the spring light is the most feminine, splendid thousand peaks and green, everywhere cuckoo red. Mountains, cliffs, deep valleys, streams, clusters of red rhododendrons open for the first time, between the green mountains and green trees like burning clouds, dazzling, gorgeous and moving.

Rhododendron, also known as Yingshan red, mountain pomegranate. People say it is the messenger of spring. Before and after the Qingming Dynasty, the Mountains of Minshan left its fragrant posture everywhere, clustered and colorful red flowers, which made the spring dress of northern Fujian extraordinarily charming. Bright red rhododendrons reflect the mountains, the water, and the sky.

Wuyi Mountain is the Central Soviet Region, the cradle of the revolution, and a red base area. At that time, this was the area where the Red Army was most active in fighting local tycoons and dividing up fields. "Ninghua, clear stream, naturalization, the road pass forest is deep and slippery." Where do we go today? Pointing straight down the Wuyi Mountain. Down the hill, the wind shows the red flag like a picture. When chanting this song "Like a Dream, New Year's Day", I couldn't help but feel excited and my blood boiling. What comes to mind is the bloody and stormy years, the red land where the red flag does not fall.

Located in the Wuyi Mountains, northern Fujian was one of the earliest areas in Fujian to establish the party; it was one of the five major peasant riots in Fujian during the period of the agrarian revolutionary war; it was one of the revolutionary base areas of the Fang Zhimin style; and it was an important part of the Central Soviet Region. The 10 counties (cities, districts) in northern Fujian all belong to the former Central Soviet District counties and old revolutionary districts and counties. Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Fang Zhimin, Peng Dehuai, Su Yu, Luo Binghui, Teng Daiyuan, Ye Fei, Xiao Jinguang, Chen Pixian, and other revolutionaries of the older generation all left glorious combat footprints in northern Fujian. The people of northern Fujian made great sacrifices for the revolution.

In Zhangshantou, a small pulp village in Yangzhuang Township, Wuyishan City, there is a large group of Red Army tombs. The remains of the wounded and sick in the Red Army hospital and the Red Army soldiers guarding the hospital were buried in the tombs, as many as 1343! Against the backdrop of bamboo forests and rhododendrons, in front of each mound-shaped tomb, only three green bricks and a piece of moso bamboo with a red streamer are erected horizontally. There is no name, no number, no inscription, and the only number on the half of the bamboo pole that is cut open is the number of the red paint logo. The red streamers all over the mountains beckoned in the wind, and the more than 1,300 martyrs' tombs that were buried underground were like an eternal army formation, and against the background of the red azaleas and white golden cherry blossoms, the solemn and majestic, mighty and unyielding, loud and majestic military trumpets were slowly playing "An international lament, soaring for me from the sky".

On one side of the Red Army tombstone, weathered rocky, stands on the East Kengtou Mountain. The forehead of the stele is inscribed with a five-pointed star, and there is a circular ornament inside the five-pointed star. The inscription on the stele totals 7 characters, and the three words "Red Army Tomb" are engraved in the middle of the yin. The lower right corner is inscribed with the words "Three Year Standing". It should be referred to as 1931, which coincided with the year of the Red Army's activities in northern Fujian. The Red Army tomb group covers an area of more than 1,000 acres. Originally, ZhangShantou, which was located in the midst of lofty mountains and mountains, was once a hospital of traditional Chinese medicine in the Red Army, and was also the station of the CPC Northern Fujian Branch Committee and the Independent Regiment of the Northern Fujian Red Army. Fang Zhimin visited the wounded and sick here in May 1931.

At the side of the tomb of the Red Army group in Zhangshantou, I saw a stone memorial wall standing in new place, with a line of large red characters on it: "The martyrs of the Red Army at Zhangshantou are immortal!" "The base of the stone wall is engraved with the following inscription:

"Wuyi mountain is the former central Soviet district county, and Zhangshantou was the central point of the second civil revolutionary war, the red capital of the northern Fujian Soviet district, Da'an, and the seat of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee. This was also the key offensive area of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and there were many fierce battles, and Xie Chunqian and Pan Ji, the two regimental commanders of the Independent Regiment of the Red Army in northern Fujian, and Chen Yi, political commissar of the Red 58 Regiment, and other Red Army commanders and fighters were all killed in the battle to defend Zhang Shantou. Due to the hardships of the war, the harsh environment, the poor medical conditions, and the large number of soldiers who died, the remains were hastily buried and left no names. From 1928 to 1935, a large-scale tomb group was formed in the thousands of acres of mountain forests in the four large areas of Dongkengtou, Tile Kiln, Tomb Ping, and HuangNi tanzai. In 2016, more than a thousand Red Army tombs were found, and the 'Red Army Tomb' stele was on the side. After verification, the identities of the people in the tomb were the Red Army and the Red Tenth Army in northern Fujian, the victims of the Anti-Japanese Advance Team of the Red Army in the north, cadres and Red Guards in the Soviet Union, and so on. ”

The Zhangshantou Red Army Tomb Group has been listed in the ninth batch of provincial-level cultural relics protection units and the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units in Fujian Province. More and more party members and cadres and citizens have organized or spontaneously come here to pay respects and commemorate revolutionary martyrs and understand the history of the red.

Together with the many people who came to pay homage to and worship the tombs of the Red Army, I stood in front of the tomb with azaleas in my hands, tears filling my eyes.

Located in the western foothills of Wuyi Mountain, in Wutongji Village, Shaxi Bridge, Shaowu City, there is a monument to the inauguration of Huang Ligui, commander of the Independent Division of the Red Army. Huang Ligui was a tiger general with a prominent reputation for leading the Red Army against the Kuomintang stubborn army in northern Fujian; he was not afraid of sacrifice, heroically killed the enemy, loved the people like a son, and won the support of the people in the old area. In July 1937, the Kuomintang reactionaries launched the third encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in northern Fujian, and in the early morning of July 13, Huang Ligui led his fighters to break out of the enemy's encirclement and came to the village of Wutongji at The Xiqiao Bridge to prepare for a short rest and then move, but was unexpectedly discovered by the puppet armor commander Yang Yufa and immediately reported to the third company of the enemy's 76th Division and was surrounded. In order to cover his comrades-in-arms, the exhausted Huang Ligui was shot and killed when he ran out of bullets, at the age of 32. A few months earlier, his wife, Li Dong'e, then the head of the sub-district women's department, was also killed while pregnant during the expansion of the Masha Zhuxi River.

Shufang Township, located in the Wuyi Mountains, is an old revolutionary area. In the 1930s and 1940s, it was the seat of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, and the Central County Committee of the Soviet Shao Shunjian. The Fifth Wuyi Cadre School of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee was held here on Sun Mountain. The people of the old areas here have made tremendous sacrifices and dedications to make the "red flag not fall." The enemy surrounded and suppressed the cadres of the New Fourth Army on Sun Mountain, and 34 surrounding villages were razed, 229 houses were burned down, and more than 300 innocent people were arrested. In the fourth month of the lunar calendar in 1943 alone, the appalling "Shufang Massacre" was committed, and more than 20 cadres and guerrillas of the Shao Shunjian County Party Committee of the Soviet Were killed and buried alive.

In order to let future generations remember the history and properly protect the red remains, Shufang Township built a new "Sun Mountain Revolution History Memorial Park". Aoyama has the honor of burying loyal bones, and Wuyi rhododendrons are even redder. Under the spring sun, on the hillside near the martyrs' cemetery, clusters of red rhododendrons swayed in the wind, as if they were singing and telling the tragic and magnificent stories of that year...
