The first song "Bemei Pit"
In October 1934, on the eve of the departure of Dongmeikeng (Long March), Comrade He Shuheng (2) prepared sake and peanuts for the night talk (3), and before leaving, he gave it to him with the sweater he was wearing, and wrote a poem to remember it.
The common cause is still hard, and the sake is still in tamarind (4).
Dare to make political and legal affairs for Yeping, and gladly engage in finance and economics in Shaba (5).
It is too heavy to pay attention to the mood (6), and the wind and rain and the chicken look forward to the early song (7).
Give me the robe unlimited meaning (8), and shake hands with me to the plum pit. [1]

2. Creation time and background:
The first poem was written in October 1934 at the Meikeng garrison of Yunshishan of the Central Red Army (on the one hand), when due to the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, the Central Red Army (on the one hand) was forced to withdraw from the base area and begin to move to western Hunan Province. On the first night of leaving the Su District, He Shuheng specially prepared sake and peanuts, and asked Lin Boqu to have a long talk all night. The reason for this was that He Shuheng was nearly sixty years old, but due to the thinking of the "Left" line, he was not allowed to follow the main force. The breakup is imminent, the two old comrades-in-arms are about to separate, in love, more touching is that it is nearly winter, the weather is cold, He Shuheng took off his sweater and gave it to Lin Boqu. Lin Boqu had a heavy heart and a thousand emotions, and wrote the poem impromptuly to express his regret for farewell.
The second song, created in October 1935, is in Wuqi Town, Yan'an, Shaanxi, and the background of the creation is that in September 1935, the Red Army broke through the dangerous Lazikou and occupied Hadapu, and learned from the newspaper that the Red Army and the base area in northern Shaanxi still existed, and Mao Zedong proposed to go to northern Shaanxi. Subsequently, the Red Army crossed the Liupan Mountains and arrived at Wuqi Town, the revolutionary base area in northern Shaanxi, where it met with the Red Fifteenth Army in victory, won the victory in the Battle of Zhiluo Town, and held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Party Central Committee to place the national revolutionary base camp in the northwest.
Lin Boqu wrote this poem with great joy. The first four sentences of the poem reach Wu Qi with victory, and use the form of "consolation and thinking", "patience to practice", and "period of witnessing the heart" to write about the great victory of the Red Army's Long March. The last four sentences review the significance of the Zunyi Conference and the wise leadership of Mao Zedong, express the firm belief in continuing to push the revolution forward, and the optimism and joy overflow into words.
This year marks the 85th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, so let us re-read two poems by Elder Lin before and after the victory of the Long March today, and feel the true feelings and pride of the revolutionaries of the older generation! Let the spirit of the Long March once again inspire us to the long march road of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
