The little radish head we learned in the textbook, his big name is Song Zhenzong. In 1941, his parents were excellent underground party members and were imprisoned with an eight-month-old child. This poor child is Little Radish Head, the youngest revolutionary martyr in Chinese history, who died less than 24 days after the founding of New China, only eight years old, but the little hero fell before dawn.
The family of three had just been captured by the enemy into the Bai Mansion, which was dark and damp, and the imprisoned personnel could only receive a bowl of moldy rice and rotten cabbage every day. Because the nutrition can't keep up, the mother has no milk, and the little radish head is hungry and crying every day. Due to long-term malnutrition, the little radish head looked similar to a two- or three-year-old child when he was six years old, with thin arms and legs, skin and bones, very short, and a big head on his thin neck, so his fellow inmates gave him a name, Little Radish Head.
The little radish head has never seen the outside world, and his favorite thing is to let his mother hold him in the window of the cell and look out, and his greatest wish is to be able to fly freely like a bird in the sky. Once, a guard held a piece of sugar and said to the radish head, call me aunt, give you candy to eat. The little radish head stared at the candy in his hand and thought for a while, saying, you are not an aunt, you are a villain. As a result, he was severely beaten by the guard. Mother Xu Linxia cried and shouted to protect her son's sensible little radish head, not crying, but comforting her mother. Later, he asked his mother what sugar tasted like. As the little radish grew up day by day, the mother repeatedly asked the detention center to let the child be able to read, but the detention center staff refused in one bite, and later the inmates went on a collective hunger strike, and finally won the opportunity to read for the little radish head.
The conditions in the prison were very limited, so Dad sharpened the branches as pencils, Mom took out some cotton from the cotton jacket to burn, mixed it with water as ink, and the inmates also saved the straw paper to make small books, so that there were pens and ink and books, and the little radish head happily began to study here. During the days of studying in prison, Little Radish Head received a very precious gift from his teacher, that is, a half-cut pencil, which made Little Radish Head happy, he regarded this pencil as a treasure, and he was only willing to use it when writing homework, and used branches the rest of the time. In less than a year, he was able to master more than 30 ancient poems, he could draw, and even speak Russian, and sometimes, the teacher and the radish head scolded the guards in Russian. The little radish head not only learned a lot of knowledge, he also understood what is good and what is evil. Because the radish head is the only one in the entire prison who has the opportunity to walk back and forth in the men's and women's prisons. Therefore, he became a small intelligence officer of the party organization in prison through Russian, and did many things that many adults could not do, and the little radish head did not even know himself, and the news he sent brought infinite strength to everyone and made everyone see hope.
Once, the madman Han Zidong in prison drew a topographic map of the Bai Mansion, as well as a map of the deployment of troops, and the comrades planned to escape from prison en masse, but when everyone saw this map, they analyzed it, and the danger of collective escape was too great, and it was decided to let the madman go to the prison alone to escape first and pass the information in prison to the organization. So the inmates solemnly placed a neatly folded note in the hidden pocket of the sleeve of the radish head, telling him that this was a very important task and that he must be careful. After receiving the task, the little radish head turned around and walked to the yard, wandering around, but did not see that the madman was just about to go upstairs, and suddenly a special agent shouted from behind, Little radish head, why did you go to the little radish head? Startled, he pretended to be calm. I went to class, so I jumped with my whistle and started going upstairs, and the secret service shouted from behind, telling the madman to come down and sweep the floor. The little radish head just trotted into the madman's cell, and then the madman successfully escaped from prison, and the little radish head completed another big thing.
In September 1949, Little Radish Head and his parents were taken to the guardhouse of the Dai Gong Ancestral Hall in Chongqing, and were secretly killed, the first tragic death was Little Radish Head's father, and then the spies stabbed the bayonet fiercely into the chest of Little Radish Head's mother, and Little Radish Head watched his parents fall in a pool of blood. Before dying, the mother begged in her last breath, go and release the radish head, let him beg, what can an eight-year-old child hinder you? After hearing this, the agent did not have pity, but directly stabbed the little radish in the head in front of his mother. The mother watched her son being assassinated, and he let out a grief cry and left with reluctance and resentment. Personnel. Later, in order to hide their eyes, the special agents buried a family of three in the ground of the hut, and a lot of cement was poured on it. After the liberation of Chongqing, the news of the murder of their family was learned from the captured agents. When the corpse of the little radish head was dug up, he still held the small pencil tightly in his two hands, and everyone present burst into tears. The little radish head was imprisoned before the age of one, died at the age of eight, and the little martyr fell before dawn. Three martyrs, these revolutionary martyrs who are either famous in history or unknown, it is their dedication that has given our generation a stable and happy living environment. Although those who died are full of regrets, those who survive still have to move forward for life. After the founding of New China, Song Zhengshu, the second sister of Xiao Radish Head, joined the literary troupe organized by the Party and wrote an article by my younger brother Little Radish Head, which was later included in our textbooks. Among them, time can dilute the memory, but the deeds of revolutionary heroes can never be erased. As the youngest revolutionary martyr, we should always remember it.
