Editor's note: Romantic as a poet, but as tough as steel, the blood-colored romance on the red hot soil is vividly expressed in the first poem, which is either generous or tragic. Hunan, the main birthplace and source of the Chinese revolution, the surging revolutionary wave, the arduous revolutionary struggle, the brilliant revolutionary figures, and countless moving stories, make this red hot land have inexhaustible motivation. On the occasion of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the red net takes you to feel the red mountains and rivers refined from blood and fire from those poems that are beautiful or miserable but have never given up their faith and ideals.

Autumn Harvest Master Shines Golden Light,
Life is short and brilliant.
Meritorious and immortal,
The red flag of Jinggang will always fly.
This is a poem written by the grandson of Zhang Ziqing, a famous general in the early days of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, praising his grandfather's life's achievements. In 1927, after Zhang Ziqing's troops, who were the commander of the battalion, were attacked by Xiao Bandits, they lost contact with mao Zedong's main forces. At that time, others in the army believed that Zhang Ziqing had defected to the enemy, but Mao Zedong firmly said that Zhang Ziqing was the "Guan Yunchang" in the Red Army and resolutely believed Zhang Ziqing.
The Autumn Harvest Uprising is on the rise
In 1902, Zhang Ziqing was born into a patriotic military family in Banxi Township (now Cormorant Town) in Yiyang County. Influenced by his father Zhang Jianliang's patriotic ideas since childhood, Zhang Ziqing read poetry diligently and loved the art of war. He graduated from the Hunan Daowu Academy in 1920, joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, and entered the Political Workshop in Guangzhou the following year.
In the spring of 1926, Zhang Ziqing entered Xiangxiang with the army, and the party organization sent him to Changde City to serve as a company commander in the 15th Division of the National Revolutionary Army led by He Long. Subsequently, the third branch of the Whampoa Military Academy was established in Changsha, and he was transferred to the school as a political instructor.
During the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Zhang Ziqing led the Third Regiment of the First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to revolt at Tonggu, and accompanied Mao Zedong in attacking Liuyang, but after being frustrated, turned to the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains to march. After the "reorganization of the rebel forces in Sanwan", Zhang Ziqing was appointed as the commander of the third battalion. After arriving at Jinggangshan, follow Mao Zedong to open up a red base area.
In March 1928, Zhang Ziqing led his troops to set out with Mao Zedong to support the Shonan Rebellion. In the battle of The County Blockade, with less than one regiment of troops, it resisted the attack of 4 regular regiments of the enemy army. After three days and three nights of bloody fighting, the enemy's plot to jam the Passage of the Shonan Rebel forces into Jinggangshan was finally smashed, and the obstacle was cleared for the realization of the Red Army's Jinggangshan Huishi.
Zhang Ziqing let the salt painting drawing.
Do not engage in special sacrifices to sacrifice salt
But in this battle, a bullet hit Zhang Ziqing's left ankle.
After Zhang Ziqing was injured, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and others were very worried about Zhang Ziqing, and they came to the Red Army Hospital several times to visit him, and proposed to send someone to secretly escort him to Changsha and to the big hospital for treatment, but Zhang Ziqing refused. He believes that the generals of the Red Army cannot engage in specialization.
In the absence of sufficient medical supplies, he underwent 5 surgeries and the bullet on his foot was never removed. The wound infection became more and more serious, and every time the wound was cleaned, Zhang Ziqing would sweat profusely in pain. The warriors who came to visit him were anxious, so they left the captured bag of salt to Zhang Ziqing.
At that time, all kinds of materials in the base area were very scarce, and salt became a valuable medicine for the Soldiers of the Red Army to scrub their wounds.
Zhang Ziqing understood that this small bag of salt was very precious, and he was reluctant to use it, so he hid the salt under the pillow.
Later, under the fierce attack of the enemy, the Red Army was more and more wounded, and the salt water could not be supplied. Seeing that the wounds of this group of seriously injured people continued to deteriorate, Zhang Ziqing, who was also seriously injured himself, handed over a bag of salt he had treasured to the nurse platoon leader. The nurse platoon leader took the bag of salt, and tears came out of his eyes.
In January 1929, Mao Zedong presided over the famous Bailu Conference, which decided that the main force of the Red Fourth Army would march to Gannan and western Fujian, and Zhang Ziqing was appointed chief of staff of the Red Fifth Army, commanding the Red Fifth Army and the Thirty-second Regiment of the Red Fourth Army to remain in Jinggangshan and persist in the border struggle. He was on crutches, supported by guards, and often went to the front line positions in person.
In the spring of the same year, the Xianggan enemy army captured JinggangShan, and Zhang Ziqing was escorted to the deep mountainous area, hiding alone in a large bluestone crevice. At that time, the snow closed the mountain, the enemy was looking for the mountain again, and after eating the fried beans and dried bamboo shoots he brought, Zhang Ziqing was frozen and hungry. By the time the enemy had come down and the local party organization had sent people to find him, he had not eaten for four days and four nights. At this time, his injuries were getting worse and weaker.
In May 1930, zhang Ziqing died of his injuries at the age of 28 at the Baolin Temple in Dongli Village, Nanxiang County, Yongxin County.
Life is limited, but faith is eternal. Zhang Ziqing's spirit of boldness and loyalty, firm faith, great righteousness and selflessness, and dedication to the country deeply affects us. In the era of peace, we do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy and fight with our lives, but we need to firmly and persistently pursue ideals, adhere to the original intention, and use personal growth to help the prosperity of the motherland and the rejuvenation of the nation.
