Changting was founded in a thousand years, the old city wall is surrounded by mountains and rivers, stretching for thousands of kilometers, there are many ancient buildings with green bricks and gray tiles, cornices and angles, and the beautiful Ting River outside the city still flows south, looking like an ancient city full of books.

Moving west to Changting, it eventually became the strongest in the south
On July 6, 1937, Saben Dong was appointed as the first president of National Xiamen University, and the day after accepting the appointment, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out. On September 3 of the same year, the Japanese fleet launched an attack on Xiamen, and the biological building of Xiamen University was destroyed. Therefore, the first thing SaBen dong did when he came to Xiamen University was to organize the relocation of the school. At that time, most of the domestic universities moved to the rear of southwest University, but at this time, Xiamen University resolutely chose to move inward to Changting, a mountain city in Fujian. Saben dong believes that "higher education in the southeast half of the wall still needs to be maintained", and moving west to Changting is conducive to "the burden of students in Fujian, Zhejiang, Gansu and Guangdong". In the eight years of Changting, Xiamen's large-scale scale grew larger and larger, its reputation grew day by day, and despite the threat of air raids, it still "sang and sang", and was known as "the best school in the southeast" and became a veritable "strong in the south".
The members of the practice team successively visited the former residence of President Saben dong, visited the former site of National Xiamen University, and visited the exhibition hall of xiamen university's history of running schools in Changting during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, witnessing the spirit of xiamen university's arduous struggle and fearlessness of dangers and obstacles during the war of resistance, spurring us to never forget our original intentions, keep history in mind, continue the "spirit of this building" of self-improvement, and abide by the motto of Xiamen University that ends in perfection.
Chang Ting: An important turning point in the development of the Chinese revolution
Changting is a famous old revolutionary area in the country, the hometown of the Red Army, the place where the red land and the red flag do not fall. Changting has a glorious revolutionary tradition. In March 1929, the Red Fourth Army led by Mao Zedong and Zhu De entered Changting and established the Changting County Revolutionary Committee, which was the first red county in western Fujian and southern Gannan to form a political power. During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, Comrades Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Chen Yi and other comrades carried out revolutionary activities in Changting, created a red political power, and established a central revolutionary base area. Changting is an important part of the Central Soviet District, the economic and cultural center of the Central Soviet District, and is known as the "Red Little Shanghai". Zhu De even praised: "Changting is indeed a turning point in the history of the Chinese revolution."
Following the footsteps of history, the members of the practice team visited the former site of the Soviet government, the Villa of Xin Geng, the former residence of Mao Zedong, the old old well and the Gospel Hospital, and the Red Army Ferry. Red culture is the Communist Party of China gradually formed in a difficult and difficult revolutionary environment, but also the most true and vivid portrayal of the development of China's revolution and construction, along the footsteps of history, walking in the steps of today's people, heart and mind, showing the dust of the past, this period of time may be a little distant for us, but it is a touching and unforgettable history condensed by blood and fire. A hundred years of glory, a hundred years of initial heart like a rock, from a leaf red ship set sail, like a cluster of sparks to dye the entire land of Shenzhou red with the momentum of the fire.
Revolutionary martyrs, immortal
In the face of the japanese imperialist invasion, the disaster of the Chinese nation was extremely serious, and the bloody resistance of the Chinese nation also boiled to the peak. In the Changting Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement, more than 20,000 changting sons joined the Red Army, more than 6,700 martyrs were registered, and thirteen founding generals such as Yang Chengwu, Fu Lianhui, He Tingyi, and Tu Tongjin emerged.
The members of the practice team came to the Qu Qiubai Martyrs Memorial Hall and General Yang Chengwu Square, standing on the fertile soil of Shenzhou soaked in the blood of revolutionary martyrs, and felt very deeply, although most of the revolutionary ancestors are no longer alive, but the red revolutionary spirit they left behind is still radiant, inspiring us to move forward bravely.
A hundred years ago, a group of new young people held high the torch of Marxist thought and painstakingly explored the future of national rejuvenation in stormy China. Over the past one hundred years, under the banner of the Communist Party of China, generations of Chinese youth have integrated their youth struggle into the cause of the party and the people and become the vanguard force for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; a hundred years ago, in that era of stormy storms, Chen Jiageng had no choice but to travel thousands of miles to Nanyang in order to make a living, but relying on his own hard work and the wealth earned by his blood and sweat, he used his own property to support the revolution, resist Japan and save the country, and establish education. Over the past 100 years, xiamen university students have passed on the four spirits of "patriotism, revolution, self-improvement and science", inspiring generations of Xiamen university students to make unremitting efforts to improve themselves, blaze new trails, and constantly make new achievements.
Changting is one of the famous old revolutionary areas in the country and the starting point of the Red Army's Long March, and it is also an important relocation place for Xiamen University to gain a firm foothold, achieve major development, and strive towards the goal of "strong south". Changting and Xiamen University were closely linked in the flames of the War of Resistance, relying on each other, sharing weal and woe, and living together through the difficult years of the War of Resistance. Changting's revolutionary spirit and Xiamen University's spirit of self-improvement not only promoted each other in those fiery years, but also shone brighter and brighter in the long historical torrent that followed, composing a brilliant chapter on the land of China.
