Recently, in order to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the students of the "Four Histories" Study and Practice Group of the School of Publishing, Printing and Art Design of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology visited several veterans of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to learn from them the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the spirit of the War of Resistance, including Bao Qi, a veteran of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and former deputy chief of staff of the Shanghai Naval Base.
"On September 3, when Secretary Li Qiang came, I was wearing this one." Mr. Bao Qi is dressed in a blue-gray military uniform, the words "New Fourth Army" are printed on his left arm, and the front "full load" includes 18 medals and medals such as the Independence Freedom Medal, the Liberation Medal, and the Freedom Independence Medal.
Bao Lao, 97 years old, now lives in Liangcheng Xincun Street, Hongkou District. When mentioning that the city leaders had come to visit him, the old man was very happy, and he "exaggerated" to cover his face with his hands and said: "We are such a great country, so much has changed, it is really getting better and better." The country remembers us, and I am very happy and touched. But I felt very embarrassed and delayed everyone's time..."
In 1941, Bouch joined the anti-Japanese army when he was only 18 years old. He also vividly remembered the process of first joining the Southeast Guard Regiment, when he set out from Wusongkou and was taken on a canopy boat, but the disembarkation location was not the destination, and comrades led him to the next location. After several turns, he finally reached the pick-up point, looked up, and found several classmates waiting there. "You also participated in the anti-Japanese resistance!" Several hot-blooded young people laughed in unison. In this way, they joined the Southeast Guard Regiment, a maritime anti-Japanese armed force created by our Party at that time.
The war was brutal, and Bao Lao's sacrifice to the two comrades can still be forgotten - in December 1944, in order to win the victory of the anti-Japanese and anti-"Qingxiang" struggle, Wang Cheng, head of the Southeast Guard Regiment, and Bao Zhichun, political commissar, prepared to lead the troops to break through. When they used their telescopes to scout the enemy in the reeds, they were unfortunately hit by the enemy's cold gun, and a bullet shot through the chest of the two men. The regimental commander and the political commissar both died, and he could only endure the grief and send a telegram to the headquarters on the sacrifice of the two men.
After the liberation of Shanghai in 1949, Bauchi departed from the 411 Hospital and returned to his home near the Old North Railway Station. He remembered that when he went all the way back, no one came to pick him up, let alone "welcome in the middle of the road", and the eyes of the surrounding neighbors were full of doubts. Until the moment he stepped into the door of the house on the 2nd floor of No. 11 somewhere, his parents had not been able to recognize him. All the confusion was solved when Mr. Bao saw the spiritual seat with his own picture printed on it. After many years, the family was finally reunited.
When Bao Lao told the past, he always told his classmates that the hard days of the past were finally gone, and he should cherish the beautiful life now. Elder Bao was also very touched by the "disc operation", he said: "When I went to the north to fight, the southerners were not used to the diet of the north, and there was a section in the team that slipped through the mouth ' counter-offensive, counter-offensive, anti-Shandong, eat pancakes onions', but in fact, at that time, it was good to eat pancakes, most of the time there was nothing to eat, and a grain of rice was not wasted. Elder Bao warned the students to develop the habit of saving grain and being hard and simple, "Our country has more than 1.4 billion people, if everyone wastes 1 grain of rice, there will be more than 1.4 billion grains of rice in total, which is too much." ”
After learning that Liu Jiayuan was a student party member and that two other students in the "Four Histories" Study and Practice Group were student preparatory party members, Mr. Bao Qi turned to a witty and humorous tone and said: "Today's life is bought by revolutionaries with the determination and blood of giving everything for the people. A lot of people are gone when they get shot on the battlefield, and no one knows who he is, but we have to think about them. As a party member, we must always put the people first, and the people are greater than themselves. ”
He also took out a copy of the "Eighteen-Year Regulations" that he displayed when the city leaders came to visit him: Decades of revolutionary honesty and honesty, do not be broken by money, and have no hand to extend; when victory and success are smooth, we must think about the arrival of difficulties; once difficulties come, we must calm down, do not be sad and discouraged, and rush over... This is the 18 rules that Bao Lao set for himself to deal with the world, and the students have recorded it. Elder Bao said: "Others call this self-conscious discipline education. In my lifetime, I have used this stipulation to constantly spur myself on. No matter what you do, you must do it wholeheartedly for the people. ”
The members of the "Four Histories" Study and Practice Group recorded these medals full of historical vicissitudes with their lenses, and preserved the oral memories of the older generation of revolutionaries on the history of the party, the history of new China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development. Liu Jiayuan, as a recorder and the initiator of the activity, said that they hope that while they understand the history, they will cut these contents into short videos through new media means and disseminate them through the Internet, so that more young people can receive "four histories" education and feel the red spirit.
