After the release of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", it quickly won the love of people all over the country. Every time I see the movie when Zhang Ga blocks the chimney of Fat Dun's house, everyone will always laugh.
Just as everyone was discussing "Gazi", a boilermaker spoke: "I didn't do this back then." ”
Who is this boilermaker, and what does he have to do with the main character in the film?
The loss of loved ones at an early age
This boiler worker is called Yan Xiufeng, a person from Baiyangdian, Hebei. If you want to talk about Yan Xiufeng, it is indeed not simple, he is the prototype of Zhang Ga in the movie.
Yan Xiufeng was born in 1924, and when he was a child, his family was often oppressed by landlords. The family has no land, and Yan Xiufeng's father works as a helper for the landlord's family.
The landlord in Yan Xiufeng's hometown has always been known for being vicious and irritable. The servants did not serve well, and the landlord let people drag them out and beat them.
Every time a person is beaten, he will not be able to get out of bed for three or five days. In serious cases, they will break their hands and feet, and even give their lives in vain.
Even if someone is killed, the landlord is not afraid at all. He colluded with local officials to beat up those who wanted to sue the officials for wrongdoing.
If there are still people who are not satisfied, then they will be directly assigned to the army, or they will be killed. The landlord has no reverence for life, but treats human life as a mustard.
Before Yan Xiufeng was born, his father only worked on the landlord's Zhuangzi. Although the salary is small, it is enough to support the family.
But after Yan Xiufeng was born, the originally poor family had no last meal. With the mentality that no matter how hard it is, he can't be bitter for his children, Yan's father wants to find a place with more wages.
In order to give the child a good life, Yan's father began to work in the landlord's house. In this way, although the salary is more, the danger is greatly increased.
Fortunately, Yan's father is cautious by nature and has never shown his face in front of the landlord. According to Yan's father's character, as long as he survives the past few years, the family will not have to be so trembling.
But the coming of bad luck is often unjustified and unreasonable. That day, when it was time for Yan's father to come back, Yan Xiufeng, who was only five years old, was very excited.
In the afternoon, he waited at the door of his house early, digging and waiting for his father. But Yan Xiufeng waited and waited, and when Yan's mother's meal was ready, Yan's father didn't come back.
Yan Xiufeng was very unhappy, he felt that his father had broken his promise. But looking at her mother's frowning brows, Yan Xiufeng was so well-behaved that she didn't say anything.
The mother and son waited all night, but Yan Xiufeng's father never came back. Yan Xiufeng complained about his father's broken promise at the beginning, and later began to worry about his father's safety with his mother.
After dawn the next day, Yan Xiufeng's mother couldn't sit still anymore and decided to go to Yan Xiufeng's father. When he inquired about the landlord's house all the way, Yan Xiufeng only saw a very large house.
For Yan Xiufeng, a big house is already the best word he can think of. Yan Xiufeng's mother pulled him and asked the gatekeeper about it.
The little maid heard who they were, and looked at them with a little pity. Yan Xiufeng's mother almost fell down when she saw this look.
The little girl pointed to the south silently, and quickly drove Yan Xiufeng's mother and son away. Yan Mu couldn't give up all the way, pulling Yan Xiufeng and stumbling south.
When she walked to the place where the little girl pointed out, Yanmu found herself in a mass grave. At that moment, Yanmu couldn't hold back anymore and cried out.
Yan Xiufeng didn't know why his mother was crying, and he also began to cry with his mother. Yan's mother put Yan Xiufeng outside and went to find Yan's father by herself.
That night, Yan's mother took Yan Xiufeng home very late. Yan Xiufeng found that her mother was no longer smiling. At a young age, young children do not yet understand what death is.
He just asked his mother why he hadn't come home yet. Whenever Yan Xiufeng asked, Yan's mother secretly cried once.
When Yan Xiufeng grew up, he already knew that his father would never come back. But his mother was also sick for a long time because of years of hard work.
Before Yan's mother died, Yan Xiufeng knelt beside her bedside and listened to her tell what happened to her father. On that day, my father was helping out in the back kitchen. The master saw that he was quick with his hands and feet, so he asked him to help serve the food.
As a result, the dishes were served, but the landlord found that the presentation was messy. After learning that it was Yan's father's food, the landlord thought that Yan's father had stolen the food.
But Father Yan obviously didn't do it, how could he admit this slander. The landlord was furious and asked the thugs to beat Yan's father to the ground with a big stick.
The landlord was not angry, so he let people continue to beat Yan's father. Father Yan's wail became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared directly. It wasn't until the landlord was happy that he let people stop.
But at this time, Father Yan was already out of breath. When the landlord saw this, he asked Yan Father to be thrown into the mass grave and did not care about it anymore.
There are still people who can't stand it, and secretly collect the bones for Yan's father. When Yan's mother looked for her, Yan's father had been beaten to death for several days.
Poor orphans and widows have since lost an important source of family. Although she hated the landlord very much, Yanmu did not dare to seek revenge on the landlord or report to the official.
Until the last moment of her life, Yanmu was unwilling. Listening to Yan Mu's words, Yan Xiufeng was planted with the seeds of hatred in his heart.
It was the landlord who caused his family to be ruined, and the landlord must pay it back. Yan Xiufeng, who was young and lost his parents, had a very difficult time.
Witness the atrocities, resist Japan and save the country
When Yan Xiufeng was thirteen years old, the Japanese army began a full-scale invasion of China. Due to the successive defeats of the Nationalist government, the land of Yanzhao soon fell into enemy occupation.
And the beautiful Baiyangdian Lake will also suffer from the brutal and inhumane atrocities of the invaders.
In order to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces and dispel the people's resistance to the Japanese army, the Japanese army implemented the brutal "three lights" policy. The so-called "three lights" are to kill, burn, and rob the light.
The young Yan Xiufeng escaped by luck, but he could only watch his hometown being burned down. Watching the corpses of the villagers burned out by the fire, hatred burst out in Yan Xiufeng's eyes.
His aunt who loves to take advantage of small but simple neighbors, and the grandmother next door who feeds him when she sees him. And those who played with him, trying to help his companions and their families, fell under the enemy's bayonets.
Yan Xiufeng had only one thought in his mind, and that was to avenge everyone.
With this in mind, he began to look for traces of the Japanese army. Yan Xiufeng knew that he would never be able to destroy the Japanese army, but he could sneak attack.
As long as he can kill an enemy, then his life is not a loss. Just as he was looking for traces of the Japanese army, he first ran into the guerrillas.
The guerrillas saw that he was alone, and learned that his home had been burned down by the Japanese army, so they took him with them. In this way, Yan Xiufeng became a member of the guerrillas.
Because of his young age, Yan Xiufeng did some logistics work in the guerrillas. But soon, Yan Xiufeng was not satisfied with doing logistics.
He approached the captain of the guerrillas and expressed his desire to go into battle and kill the enemy. Looking at the young man's small body, the captain told him that logistics is also a very important job.
Yan Xiufeng doesn't believe it, the logistics are all about cooking, mending clothes, and washing bandages all day long, what can be called important?
Seeing that Yan Xiufeng didn't believe it, the captain took him to the place where the soldiers ate. He pointed to the soldier who was eating and asked Yan Xiufeng to see it, and asked Yan Xiufeng if he saw anything?
Yan Xiufeng shook his head, not understanding the captain's intentions. The captain touched his head and told him that it was because of the logistics that the soldiers could afford the meal.
If there were no logistics personnel who were silently dedicated, the soldiers would not have been able to eat hot food, not to mention hot water. If you can't even eat after a war, who wants to fight?
Whether it's cooking, mending clothes or washing bandages, it's a very important task. They are about the front-line fighters, and someone has to do it.
Moreover, if someone with a heart comes to logistics, it is a great danger to the front-line fighters. That means that the food will never be safer or anything.
After listening to the captain's words, Yan Xiufeng nodded. He no longer complains that he can't go to war, but concentrates on doing what he does.
As Yan Xiufeng grew up, the captain also began to let Yan Xiufeng go out to fight. Because of his cleverness, Yan Xiufeng was selected as a communicator.
Later, Yan Xiufeng became a scout in the army. When Yan Xiufeng was growing up, the pace of Japanese expansion was also accelerating.
In order to strengthen its control over the occupied areas, the Japanese army launched another sweep. Life behind enemy lines was becoming more and more difficult, and the number of enemy troops was very large.
Even then, the partisans did not abandon the land. During the enemy's sweeps one after another, the guerrillas hid in Tibet and played hide and seek with the enemy.
In many sweeps, Yan Xiufeng showed admirable courage and boldness. Once, when Yan Xiufeng was scouting, he encountered an enemy turret.
At that time, the enemy changed guards, and the defense of the turret was very lax. Yan Xiufeng took two scouts and secretly approached the turret.
When no one found out, Yan Xiufeng pulled out a few grenades and threw them into the turret. The enemy didn't expect that someone would be so bold.
Under Yan Xiufeng's sneak attack, dozens of enemies were buried along with the turret. After Yan Xiufeng came back, the captain first reprimanded him for his boldness.
Subsequently, Yan Xiufeng's credit was praised. Looking at the captain's worried eyes, Yan Xiufeng touched his head and smiled innocently.
If this happens in the future, he will still make today's choice. But this kind of thing that makes the captain angry, let's not say it at this time.
epilogue
Yan Xiufeng's experience is actually not exactly the same as Gazi. The Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" was influenced by the "Yan Gazi" in Wei Wei's article. And this Yan Gazi is Yan Xiufeng's nickname.
But at the same time, Zhang Ga also referred to the image of other small scouts during the Anti-Japanese War. Zhang Ga is a character created by the writer Xu Guangyao for the sake of literature.
But through the broadcast of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", such a special group of little warriors on the land of Yanzhao successfully entered the public's field of vision.
And the image of Gazi's cleverness and bravery is also fixed in people's hearts.
