In the ninth season of the "Discover the Beauty of Minhang" series of book recitations, the teenagers of Mingqiang Primary School brought a touching story from "Unforgettable Remembrance", an excerpt from "Walking Underground". This story focuses on Sheng Changdan's parents, Sheng Youxuan and Yang Yifei, in the underground party activities during the Anti-Japanese War. With a brief family ritual and lofty beliefs, the revolutionary couple sketched a tragic history of family and country feelings. Sheng Changdan's father, Sheng Youxuan, presented the slogans "Xi, struggle" and "self-improvement, courage to move forward", which is not only a blessing for his son's wedding, but also a belief inheritance for the family. In the era of hostility, the couple fought bravely against the Japanese invaders with their love for their home and country. Yang Yifei, as a "small traffic", undertook many dangerous tasks, and skillfully maneuvered through wit and courage to write about the tenacity and responsibility of women in the Anti-Japanese War era. This small family reflects the fearless perseverance of thousands of ordinary families in those turbulent years.
This history is full of little-known details and is a precious memory that we cannot ignore. Yang Yifei's revolutionary will was even stronger in the terrifying moment when the enemy slaughtered the Communists. Her role as a "little traffic" is legendary. The experience of a witty attempt to defuse a dangerous situation described in the article made her the "lifeline" of the underground party. This kind of hidden heroism is the epitome of that era, and her experience also represents a corner of many heroes who have been buried in the long river of history. This simple and extraordinary family, through their perseverance, has made the history of the Anti-Japanese War years fuller, and also allows us to better understand the vicissitudes of that period of history. Such family stories, traveling through time and space, call for us to reflect deeply on history.
In this family story, Sheng Changdan's mother, Yang Yifei, is a female hero during the Anti-Japanese War, who not only held an important position in the underground party, but also showed the tenacity and wisdom of women in that era. In 1927, Yang Yifei, who was only 18 years old, joined the Songpu Special Committee of the Communist Party of China as a traffic officer. It is a dangerous and mysterious duty that needs to be performed under the watchful eye of the enemy, and every step can involve an existential test. At that time, when the White Terror was enveloped, her tenacity and courage became a valuable asset for the underground party.
Yang Yifei's status as a "small traffic", although his status was low, played a key role in the underground anti-Japanese struggle. She is responsible for outgoing liaison, reporting, sentry and other tasks, and plays a role as a bridge for coordination and communication. The article vividly depicts a thrilling experience in the underground organ of the Songpu Special Committee on Xinzha Road. In the face of a search by four patrol officers and spies, she skillfully disguises her identity and saves the day, showing the flexibility and perseverance of women in extreme environments. This story is not only a celebration of Yang Yifei's personal heroism, but also a portrayal of the many underground party members at the time who remained calm and responded under pressure.
Sheng Changdan's father, Sheng Youxuan, carried out secret propaganda in the school and contributed to the anti-Japanese cause. As a couple, they performed their duties, supported each other, and worked together to contribute silently to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War during the special period. Sheng Changdan's memories of his parents are full of reverence for his mother, especially when she proposed to go to the battlefield, she was vetoed by her parents but still did not change her original determination, reflecting their loyalty to the country and faith. This expression of family emotion makes the whole story not only cold of historical events, but also with a vivid family temperature. This is a touching historical picture, echoing the great journey of ordinary people in the entire Anti-Japanese War era. In this history, every life that struggles for freedom is a shining one, a part that cannot be ignored. Through the story of this couple, we not only see their individual struggles, but also understand the passion and glory of the entire era.
