The remnants of Tongbai Mountain and the lonely mountain of Shi rollinghe Town in the southwest of Qishan County are hidden in the heavy mountain forest, where the loyal bones of the "Zhou Family Army" are buried under the green mountains and green waters. The origin of the "Zhou Family Army" is Wu Xiucai during the Qing Guangxu Period and Zhou Tianyun of Gushan Chong. When the revolutionary storm swept through southern Henan, Zhou Tianyun was well versed in the revolutionary principles, opened a martial arts hall in his backyard, publicized that the Red Army led by the Communist Party was fighting for the poor, and personally sent 5 sons to join the army.

The mountains and rivers are unharmed, and the soul of the hero lives on forever
Where there are some quiet years, but someone carries the weight for us. The 5 heroes of the "Zhou Family Army" are all full of courage, brave and fearless, and dedicate their lives on the road to striving for a happy life for the people. They are the loveliest people, and we live in peace and prosperity, and we should remember the sacrifices they made.
Zhou Chunming (also known as Zhou Xiaowang), a retired teacher of Gushan Chong Longmiao Primary School, has been committed to the excavation and collation of the history of Gushan Chong Red for many years, and in the early years, he visited local insiders, collected and sorted out the heroic deeds of the 5 brothers of the Zhou family in many ways, and wrote the article "Zhou Jiajun" with more than 25,000 words. The article details the history of the revolutionary struggle waged by the five brothers of the Zhou family under the leadership of Liu Shaoqi, Li Xiannian and other revolutionaries of the older generation in Gushanchong.
The Zhou Family Old Courtyard of the Lonely Mountain Chong Dragon Temple West Mulberry Tree Village is the place where the 5 brothers of the Zhou family were born and grew up. In the article "Zhou Jiajun", it is written that Zhou Tianyun, the former "martial arts talent", opened a school and a martial arts hall here, and let his sons and grandchildren learn martial arts. During the revolutionary war, it was the foothold and secret liaison station of revolutionary volunteers, but it was looted and burned by the Kuomintang reactionaries. Today, the descendants of the fifth oldest in the "Zhou Family Army" live here, and the younger generations will show admiration when talking about their ancestors.
Looking up at the fifteenth bright moon, the pine cypress pays tribute to the martyrs. From his involvement in the National Revolution in 1927 to his accession to the Communist Party of China in 1937, the "Zhou Family Army", a family of martyrs in Qishan County, used his blood to contribute to the founding and construction of New China. The mountains are silent, but they always think of the heroes who fought heroically in the mountains during the revolutionary war years and forged peace with their lives and blood, and today's mountains and rivers are quiet and fireworks are usually to comfort the heroes' spirits in heaven. The deeds of "5 brothers of the Zhou family, 4 martyrs" spread among the local people and the red culture dissemination volunteer service team, and are the spiritual treasures of the local people.
The spirit of succession Leads by example
Although the heroes have left, their fine qualities of not fearing hardships and dangers, being loyal and courageous, have taken root and blossomed in the hearts of generations of future generations. Zhang Hong, an outstanding teacher at the Second Primary School in Qishan County, is the granddaughter-in-law of the old fifth Zhou Fengshao. As the family and descendant of the martyrs, she inherited the excellent qualities of the martyrs who dedicated themselves, served the people, and took on great love. In the case of lung, spleen, kidney and heart diseases, Zhang Hong has handed over an excellent answer sheet for the people in social volunteer service and her own job.
The country has difficulties, and the pirate has the responsibility. In the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan in 2020, Zhang Hong, as an ordinary people's teacher, set aside 1,000 yuan from the meager balance of 1794.64 yuan and donated it to Wuhan through the school. In addition to this donation, for more than 10 years, Zhang Hong has donated more than 20,000 yuan to earthquake-stricken areas, disabled persons' federations and poor families. In August 2021, during the summer vacation, the new crown virus fought back again, Zhang Hong gave up the holiday, actively responded to the call of the Youth League County Committee, became an anti-epidemic volunteer, rushed to the front line of the anti-epidemic, and went to various isolation areas with medical staff to do circulation, assisted in nucleic acid testing, and mobilized her sons and daughters to volunteer together. Zhang Hong's deeds were deeply moving, and she was rated as "Outstanding Volunteer of Anti-epidemic Youth" by the Youth League County Committee. In 2019, Zhang Hong adopted orphan Zhou Xiangyang. In order to allow him to settle down in Queshan to go to school, Zhang Hong persuaded her husband and daughter to agree to change the property rights of the house. She overcame all difficulties and made up her mind to let her children live in a healthy and happy environment and complete their studies. There is a son (Zhou Xiangyang) and a daughter, Zhang Hong feels very happy.
On the sickbed, he devoted himself to research and obtained national patents, and was loyal to his career and cared for students in education. Zhang Hong said: "I like to calm down and study. As a teacher, in order to avoid more teachers inhaling chalk ends, in 2007, Zhang Hong researched and designed a loose-leaf teaching board and magnetic brush, and obtained a national patent; In order to honor her parents, she invented the health mattress, which was granted a national patent for improving sleep and helping the body's blood circulation. Zhang Hong said that she wants to use the rest of her life to create more value and help more people. Zhang Hong leads by example in teaching work, continuously improves the quality of education and teaching, and requires her board book to be clear and clear in level, and the key and difficult points are clear at a glance. At the same time, she constantly regulates her behavior, leads by example, and conducts silent education for her students.
It is precisely because of this educational spirit of "being loyal to duty and leading by example" that the class taught by Zhang Hong has achieved excellent results every year. In 2000, 2003 and 2016, Zhang Hong was rated as an outstanding teacher at the county, city and provincial levels, and in 2018, she was awarded the title of municipal civilized teacher.
Salute to the ancestors Please start from yourself
Only the red faith will never fade, and the things will never fade, and the revolutionary ancestors will never forget. Zhang Hong inherited the excellent qualities of martyrs, but also made amazing contributions in the new era. As an ordinary and frugal people's teacher, she has loved her job and fulfilled her duties in her 29-year teaching career; Actively participated in volunteer services in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and became the busiest figure and the most donated caring teacher in the second small anti-epidemic work in Cuishan County. Although she suffered from a variety of diseases and financial constraints, she relied on her meager income to help 14 poor students, sponsored 7 families and children, raised 2 orphans, and generously donated money and materials to the disaster areas on many occasions.
The young lady is fragrant, and she is worthy of the glorious title of people's teacher. "Salute to the ancestors, please start yourself". Zhang Hong has been diligent in her actions, down-to-earth to integrate her life into the cause of the party and the country, shouldering the mission of her ancestors, shining brightly, and walking with the country.
