In order to learn more deeply about red culture, pass on red genes, and inherit the red spirit, on July 10, 2021, the "Shuguang" social practice team came to the former residence of Lin Yuanxi on Shangyuanchun Road in Jiangcheng District, Yangjiang City, which is a slightly dilapidated two-story high-green brick and tile house with the plaque of "Glorious Home" hanging on the lintel of its arch, and plaques engraved with the words "Yangjiang Patriotic Education Base", "Former Site of the Cpc Liangyang Working Committee" and "Municipal Key Revolutionary Cultural Relics Protection Unit" on the left and right walls of the main entrance. This dilapidated and solemn place is both the residence of revolutionary martyr Lin Yuanxi and the site of the revolution.
"Dawning" social practice team with respect into the former residence, the interior of the former residence after a certain degree of repair but still retain the traces and style of the revolutionary period, the first floor is a small red education exhibition hall, the wall displayed a lot of historical pictures and historical documents, in order to commemorate the visit to Lin Yuanxi's former residence tour, the team members have picked up the camera to record every inch of Lin Yuanxi's former residence, the team members also said that they were at the revolutionary site, feel the revolutionary heroes of the ancestors of the strong spirit is a beautiful thing in the world. Among them, the most impressive is the introduction of the martyr Lin Yuanxi and the oath of joining the party next to him, from the introduction and web page information, it can be seen that the family of the revolutionary martyr Lin Yuanxi is excellent, in 1937, when the "July 7" incident of the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full swing, Lin Yuanxi resolutely joined the Yangjiang "youth group" and began his revolutionary career, when the party organization work was insufficient, he immediately took out a large amount of silver donations from his family, and when the party organization needed to move to a hidden and safe residence, he offered to use his residence as a working base. In an anti-Japanese war, he led a team to charge and sacrificed his life here. He dedicated his youth and life to the party, the country and the people, and his patriotism and love for the party, hard work and selfless dedication are worthy of praise and study by the whole society. In this regard, the team members could not help but understand why many residents and party members and cadres in Yangjiang took the oath of joining the party and receiving education in patriotism and party history here, and the declaration of joining the party was displayed together with the brief introduction of the deeds of martyr Lin Yuanxi.
After finishing the internal tour of Lin Yuanxi's former residence, the team members came to the vicinity of the former residence to interview the residents of the ruins of Lin Yuanxi's former residence, among which they had the honor of interviewing an old party member uncle, who was very sorry when talking about Lin Yuanxi's deeds, and he told that after the liberation war, the neighbors around him did not know that Lin Yuanxi was engaged in the underground party cause, because his wife was the daughter of a landlord, he directly made up his mind that Lin Yuanxi was a landlord and confiscated his property, and later an old comrade-in-arms of Lin Yuanxi helped him rehabilitate. As for the majority of the people in Yangjiang to understand the deeds of the revolutionary ancestors, the protection of the ruins of the former residence, and the degree of tracing the red footprints, Lao Bo said that his attention is not high, especially the new generation's attention to historical events is low, but he still hopes that the new generation can understand that the current beautiful life is the hard work of the heroic ancestors, and it is necessary to "not forget the original heart" that is, not to forget the original, and also call on social organizations from all walks of life to lead by example, pursue and inherit the red footprints, and set an example for the new generation. After the interview, Uncle Lao recommended that the team members go to a nearby school to investigate and interview the students, and hoped that the team members could popularize relevant knowledge to the interviewed students during the investigation process. Lao Bo's worries are not unfounded, and in interviews with local students, students said that they knew the specific location of the "Lin Yuanxi Former Residence" but did not understand the revolutionary practice of the martyr Lin Yuanxi and held a vague attitude towards the protection of the former residence site. When the team members carried out the learning activity of popularizing the red footprint, only a few students were interested in it. To this end, the captain Zhang Weilin organized the team members to brainstorm and find a solution, and then we used the "life integration method" that is, the integration of daily life events and red footprint knowledge to reduce the boring knowledge popularization as much as possible, and this method also has a certain effect, replacing seriousness and boredom with laughter, attracting many students to take the initiative to accept investigation interviews, this incident gives the team members a great trigger: there will be many obstacles in the practice of going to the countryside, but it is better to firmly believe that the method is always more than difficult.
In the pursuit of the red footprints of the "Lin Yuanxi's Former Residence", the "Shuguang" social practice team deeply understood the revolutionary deeds of the martyr Lin Yuanxi, learned the red culture of the former residence, and understood the attention of some people in Yangjiang to the red footprints, and achieved fruitful results. In the next practice of tracing the red footprints to the countryside, the members of the "Dawning" social practice team will maintain their gratitude to the martyrs, use it as a lamp, illuminate the way forward, assume the heavy responsibility of the times, and be the red successors of the times.
