The friend moved to Qingkangju on Jianshi Street in Qingshan District, adjacent to Qingshan Town. From the window of his house, you can clearly see the Tianxingzhou in the center of the river and the Jitou Mountain that stands silently on the river beach.
Lush Isu Mountain
Speaking of Qingshan District, we have to mention Qingshan Town. And when it comes to Qingshan Town, Jitou Mountain must be written in a heavy and colorful way, because the reason why Qingshan District is called Qingshan is because of Jitou Mountain.
The so-called iso refers to the small hill protruding from the river, and the mountain is historically known as Aoyama Rock.
Written records of Qingshan Rock can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. Jitou Mountain is a historically famous mountain, in the sixth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1170), the poet Lu You passed through here, and wrote in the third volume of the "Book of Entering Shu" that "over qingshan rocks, more gravel shoals, late poplar sandwiches, thirty miles from Ezhou." The chocobo stops for more than ten miles. There are many residents and boats, but most of them are also soldiers." It can be seen that most of the first places here are the existence of military fortresses.
Later, in 1574 AD, Wang Shizhen, a Ming Dynasty literary scholar, a leader of the literary circles, and the head of the "Later Seven Sons", once went north to Yunyang to take up his post, and saw that all sides of this place were yellow, a mountain was green, the adjacent town was deep and the streets were deep, and the merchants were gathered, so he lingered, and wrote "Wuchang is in front, and the patrol refuses to go." In order to love Aoyama Iso, and to live in Aoyama", the daimyo of Aoyama District probably came from this.
It seems that on the way to the new official's appointment, this senior official, because he coveted the beautiful scenery of QingshanJi, actually delayed for a few days privately, I don't know if this is a public-funded tour, I don't know if the Jiajing Emperor of the current dynasty reimbursed him?
The trail up and down Mount Isotou
Listening to a friend, there was once a Dongting Temple at the top of Jitou Mountain, and the temple was dedicated to the old dragon king of Dongting Lake and Liu Yi, who wrote a book for the dragon girl. Later, due to the bombing of the Japanese Kou, it was razed to the ground.
On April 29, 1938, Chen Huaimin, a warrior of the Chinese Air Force, piloted a fighter jet straight into the center of the Japanese fighter group and shot down a Japanese fighter in the famous "4.29" air battle.
Under the attack of 5 Japanese fighters, Chen Huaimin's landplane was shot, so he prepared to parachute to survive. However, when he looked up at the enemy plane, he found their arrogant and contemptuous eyes, if he jumped, maybe the enemy would think that the Chinese army was just like this, maybe they would be more arrogant ... Chen Huaimin resolutely decided to give up the chance to survive, increased his horsepower, and crashed into a Japanese fighter jet.
This year, he was only 22 years old. The sound of "boom" was the sound of two planes falling and exploding, and on the other plane was Kenichi Takahashi, a Japanese red samurai. After Chen Huaimin crashed the plane, he turned over and prepared to jump out of the cabin, but the umbrella jacket was burned by the fire, and his body fell from a height of 3,000 meters and fell straight into the heart of the river.
In order to commemorate the heroic feats of Air Force warrior Chen Huaimin, a road in Hankou was named Chen Huaimin Road
Seeing Chen Huaimin's feat, the Chinese army was moved, and the comrades-in-arms, inspired by him, shot down 21 Japanese fighters after thirty minutes of fighting.
After hearing the news, the people of Qingshan Town insisted on salvaging in the river for many days, and it was not until early June that the remains surfaced from the silt of the river. People found a pocket watch and an ocean in his flight suit. In order to sacrifice the anti-Japanese heroes, the people of Qingshan Town parked Chen Huaimin's body in the Dongting Temple for several days. After the Japanese army obtained this information, they indiscriminately bombed AoyamaJi, and the Dongting Temple was destroyed.
"Every time the plane takes off, I think it's the last flight. Fighting the Japanese, I never wanted to come back! This is a mantra of Air Force warrior Chen Huaimin before each time he gets on the plane.
When the news came home, Chen Huaimin's family burst into tears, and his sister even changed her name to Chen Nan, just to commemorate her dead brother. After a month of salvage, Chen Huaimin's body was found in the Yangtze River.
And his fiancée Wang Lulu, the banker's daughter, a typical rich second generation, made a move that made countless people cry: she wore the cheongsam that Chen Huaimin specially bought for her, cried hoarsely at the rough waters, and then jumped and followed Chen Huaimin out of the human world, staging a tragic and magnificent love story that shocked the world and cried ghosts.
Chen Huaimin and his sister Chen Nan
The Japanese plane that was destroyed by Chen Huaimin crashed crashed on the edge of Tianxingzhou on the Yangtze River. While cleaning up the wreckage of the enemy plane, a photograph of a young and beautiful woman and a letter she had written to her husband were found in the blood pocket of the driver's corpse.
It turned out that the dead Japanese pilot was Kenichi Takahashi, a famous "Red Samurai" second-class aviation officer of the Sasebo Twelfth Air Force, and just before he took off, he carried in his arms the letter and photo sent by his wife Mieko. As soon as he received the letter, he was killed in the air raid on Wuhan.
Mieko's heart is full of longing for her husband and war-weariness. She wrote in the letter: "As a pilot's wife, she always lived a lonely life. So I was sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and deep inside I was weeping. Many people died innocently..... Your family misses you infinitely. ”
After reading Mieko's family letter, Chen Nan was deeply touched. As a pilot's family, I am not like this: I am always mixed with pride and worry. Therefore, Chen Nan tearfully wrote a "Letter to Mieko", solemnly accusing the evil of Japanese militarism and placing infinite sympathy on Mieko.
Jitou Mountain is adjacent to the Crane Tower
The letter was published in the Wuhan Daily on June 5, 1938. This letter, written with blood and tears and justice, has become a powerful anti-fascist public opinion, expressing the Chinese nation's spirit of perseverance, broad-mindedness and the good wish for peace.
"I think of your loneliness, of your two children who have been laughing all day, and of your future mutilated and miserable career, and I hate not being able to go to your country immediately to see you in person and live a friendly life with you, and I will never hate you because of the aggression of the warlords in your country against us." "I look forward to the day when our hands will be lovingly clasped together, hearts and hearts, immersed in the enthusiasm of fresh young people." We have reason to work for this belief, to keep our hearts together forever, and to wish you a struggle for peace throughout the world.
In the rare half-day of leisure, I hurriedly climbed to the neighboring crane tower on the top of Jitou Mountain, and along the way I did not meet a single tourist, and it was a little eerily quiet.
Climbing the tower and looking up, all around are lush, towering trees growing wildly, covering the sky, and vaguely seeing a little bit of the gushing Yangtze River water in front of you. The majestic Tianxingzhou Yangtze River Bridge and Qingshan Yangtze River Bridge, the two bridges fly north and south, and the graben changes the way.
The Qingshan River Beach on the banks of the Yangtze River has long since changed from the "gravel shoal" written by Lu You to the Green Park of Qingshan River Beach, which is often visited by ordinary people, and the beautiful scenery makes the world fall, as evidenced by the picture.
The scenery is unique here
Beautiful green mountain beach
Looking at the ever-changing great rivers and mountains of the motherland, I can't help but think of Chairman Mao Zedong's famous poem: In order to sacrifice more ambitions, dare to call the sun and moon for a new day.
