"Remembering" is in the heart, and practicing ambition is in action —— A record of Shankouyan Village, the sacrifice place of Lu Deming

  Cctv news(Reporter Wang Ruoyi, Wang Ruxi): Zhang Yongxin, the director of The Awakeing Age, once said with emotion in an exclusive interview with CCTV: "Are those in the early 20th century equivalent to the present ‘ After 90 ’ ‘ 00 ’ Are they all like immortals? Why can they have such great ambitions for their country at such a young age? " He immediately gave his own answer: it was the times that gave these people revolutionary.

  Lu Deming, born in 1905, began to get in touch with progressive books and periodicals such as New Youth during his study in Chengdu Public College, and accepted Marxist thoughts, which can be said to be the best of his generation. Lu Deming soon realized that the thinness of calligraphy and ink could not bear the vastness of rivers and mountains, so he resolutely abandoned his pen and joined the army. In 1924, he was admitted to Huangpu Military Academy and joined the Communist Party of China (CPC). From then on, only from the preserved letters from home can we vaguely distinguish a homesick scholar. That year, Lu Deming was nineteen years old.

  Three years later, Lu Deming led the guards to participate in the autumn harvest uprising on the Hunan-Jiangxi border led by Mao Zedong, and served as the commander-in-chief of the uprising troops. After the uprising was frustrated, Lu Deming firmly supported Mao Zedong’s idea of shifting the attack direction to rural areas, which played an important role in the final adoption of this correct decision.

  Since ancient times, it is difficult to see a white head in the world. In order to cover the advance of the troops, Lu Deming stood up in the enemy’s attack. He turned back from the former team, led a company to seize the high ground to block the enemy spy camp and peace preservation corps, and at the same time commanded the scattered officers and men of the 3rd regiment to move closer to the avant-garde troops. In the process, Lu Deming was hit by a bullet in his right chest and died heroically. His short life was fixed at the age of 22.

  Later, next to a ditch in Shankouyan Village, Shangbu Town, Luxi County, Jiangxi Province, a villager found Lu Deming’s body and buried it hastily, and the spirited General White Horse died. The villagers who buried the bones for him later learned that the young man who died was called Lu Deming.

  Sacrifice too early, later generations were able to discuss all kinds of speculations and comments on such topics as "How much could Lu Deming have achieved if he lived to the founding of New China". The final conclusion may be slightly different, but most of them are full of regrets between the lines.

  Fortunately, the will of the hero has not been silenced. In Shankouyan Village, Lu Deming-related memorials can be seen everywhere, and the villagers are also familiar with his deeds, which will not be forgotten by history or people.

  The 84-year-old Luo Shuwen’s legs and feet are not very neat, but as an old party member with 63 years of party membership, she will still be pushed in a wheelchair and taken to the Lu Deming Memorial Hall to follow the footsteps of pioneers from old photos, old objects, documentaries and statues that restored the scene of that year.

  Surrounded by green hills, the folk customs are simple, the flag of the autumn harvest uprising flies high, and a flame for people’s happiness burns to this day. Relying on the rich historical background, Shankouyan Village has made great efforts to tap the red resources. In addition to building martyrs’ cemeteries, monuments and memorial halls and carrying out red education, it has also innovatively built fruit and vegetable picking bases, attracting thousands of tourists from around every day.

  The income of the villagers has increased, and the convenience service in the village has become increasingly perfect. In recent years, the General Party Branch of Shankouyan Village has transformed idle old stores into service centers for the party and the masses, with centralized office. The lecture room and volunteer service room are set up to carry out cultural performances, theoretical lectures and skills training activities. At the same time, a Red Heart-to-Heart Volunteer Service Team with party member as the backbone was set up to prevent and control epidemic situation, improve the environment, help the poor, adjust contradictions and visit regularly … … All the problems you can think of are within the scope of their responsibilities to solve.

  Not far from Lu Deming Martyrs Memorial Hall, there is a "Lu Deming Primary School", as a characteristic school of national defense education, which takes red education as the main line and Lu Deming spirit as the school motto, and guides the flowers of the motherland to be firm inheritors and practitioners of the "red gene". Under the infiltration of hearing and hearing, generations of teenagers thrive in peacetime.

  Looking back suddenly, time has passed in a hurry for nearly a hundred years. Castle Peak is fortunate to be buried with loyal bones. In the place where Lu Deming’s body was found, there was no trace of once ruined and desolate and overgrown with weeds. Instead, it was a wide and flat square, and two fighter planes donated by the Air Force were placed on the lawn. They witnessed the energetic and prosperous scene of Yamaguchi Rock Village with their posture of fighting the sky in the old days.
