Mengshan is high and Yishui is long. Yimeng, a red hot land. During the revolutionary war, the heroic children of Yimeng experienced the tempering of blood and fire. With their selfless dedication of "the last grain, the last piece of cloth, the military uniform, the last son and the battlefield", they wrote a magnificent chapter of the army and the people linked by flesh and blood and fighting together, pushing the revolution to victory one way after another. General secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out: "Yimeng spirit is the same as Yanan spirit, Jinggangshan spirit and Xibaipo Spirit. It is a valuable spiritual wealth of the party and the state, and it should carry forward constantly with the new era conditions." Today, the story of Yimeng's children is still sung for a long time. The Yimeng spirit, which is forged by the integration of the army and the people, life and death and, is even more enduring and glowing with new light. The army and the people fought in unity There are three unicycles in Menglianggu Battle Memorial Hall, Mengyin County, Linyi City, Shandong Province. They are of different sizes, wooden frame and wooden shaft. They look thick, old and heavy, but they contain the key password of Yimeng spirit. In order to smash the Kuomintang's key attack on the liberated areas of Shandong, the battle of Meng Lianggu began on May 13, 1947. One side is the well-equipped Kuomintang integrated 74th division, which claims to be "invincible in the world"; On the one hand, the Communist East China Field Army with millet and rifles is considered "inevitable". In this campaign, the Yimeng people formed a vast army of migrant workers supporting the front, using trolleys to rush ammunition, water, food and medicine. With the rolling wheels and the tide of popular support, the people's army has also created a miracle of using less to win more and using the weak to win the strong. On May 16, the Chinese wild forces attacked Meng Lianggu, and the 74th division of the Kuomintang was destroyed. "There are red sisters in every village and martyrs in every village". In this land stained with blood, there are many similar stories. In the heroic battles recorded in history, such as the battle for Baiyan, the war of annihilation of Wujing and the battle of Tazishan, the people of Yimeng, under the leadership of the party, dealt a severe blow to the Japanese army; Yimeng woman Li Guifang and others removed their door panels, jumped into the cold river and set up a "fire bridge" with their own bodies; Yimeng's mother Wang Yiyu founded a wartime nursery and brought up more than 40 revolutionary descendants; Ming Deying, Yimeng's red sister-in-law, rescued two fallen Eighth Route Army soldiers successively. At a critical moment, she saved her seriously injured children with her own milk; …… Historical statistics show that during the war of resistance against Japan and the war of liberation, of the 4.2 million people in Yimeng area, more than 200000 joined the army, more than 1.2 million supported the army, and 100000 heroes shed their blood on the battlefield. Today, when we walk into the Yimeng revolution memorial hall, we will still be shocked by a group of giant group sculptures called "power": the villagers in front of the support bend down and push a cart full of materials on the winding road "Countless groups and heroic models have made great contributions to the victory of the campaign and eloquently proved the irrefutable truth that 'soldiers and people are the foundation of victory'." Liu Zhanquan, associate professor of Yimeng Cadre College, said. Overcome difficulties and forge ahead bravely In the film Changjin lake, near the end of the film, there is such a moving scene—— Hu Jun's "Lei Gong", embracing the enemy's identification bombs from the air, drove to attract the enemy's attention and resisted the enemy's bullets with his own flesh and blood. Before his sacrifice, "Lei Gong" hummed Yimeng Mountain minor. The image of "Lei Gong" is the vivid epitome of Yimeng people. The long-term practice of revolution and construction has profoundly confirmed that in the face of difficulties and challenges, the people of Yimeng always have the strength to overcome difficulties and forge ahead bravely. Lijiazhai village, Pingshang Town, Junan County, Linyi is located between three mountains, five mountains and two rivers, with dense mountains and stones and thin cultivated land. Old people often say that once lijiazhai village was "soup in the morning, bran at noon, and porridge at night shining on the moon". poverty gives rise to the desire for change. Since 1955, lijiazhai people have moved mountains to fill valleys and split mountains to make fields. In two years, they have built more than 3000 mu of high-standard terraces, and the grain yield per mu has increased to more than 500 kg. When the news reached Zhongnanhai, Chairman Mao Zedong happily gave instructions: "Yugong moved mountains and transformed China. Li Jiazhai is a good example." Entering the new period of reform and opening up, jiujianpeng village has become the new spokesman of Yimeng spirit. Located on the Longding mountain at an altitude of 640 meters, jiujianpeng village has high mountains, steep streams, four cliffs, barren land, water and electricity shortage. 112 mu of land is hung on 23 ridges. Even in good times, villagers can only eat 70% or 80% full. In the 1980s, Liu Jiakun, Secretary of the village Party branch, led the villagers to build roads, divert water to the mountains, manage the mountains and plant trees for five consecutive years. The whole village has raised 230000 yuan, built 3500 meters of stone canals, opened mountains and prepared more than 500 mu of land, and planted more than 20000 new fruit trees We will transform mountains, lower mountains, transform rivers and rivers, transform land and land, and increase production. The two time nodes mark the great changes brought by Yimeng spirit to Yimeng people—— In 1985, Linyi, located in the hinterland of Yimeng mountain area, was listed as 18 key poverty alleviation areas in China; After 10 years of hard work, at the end of 1995, Linyi took the lead in shaking off poverty as a whole. Green mountains and green waters are beautiful, cattle and sheep are seen in the wind and grass, sorghum is red and rice flowers smell... The beautiful description in Yimeng Mountain minor has long become a reality in the hands of the Yimeng people. Forge ahead and write a new chapter Sewing military clothes, baking pancakes, carrying stretchers... During the National Day holiday, scenes of immersive performances with the theme of the story of red sister-in-law were staged in the farmyard of changshanzhuang village, mamuchi Township, Yinan County, attracting countless tourists to "punch in". Fan Rufeng, member of the Standing Committee of Yinan county Party committee and Minister of publicity, introduced that the immersive performance closely followed the situation and character of different characters in a specific historical period, and used the way of situational performance to show the integration of the army and the people in those years. This is one of the paths of local innovative red tourism, and also endows Yimeng spirit with new charm of the times. The Yimeng spirit, which was born in the era of revolutionary war and developed in the period of socialist construction and the new period of reform and opening up, has been continuously carried forward in the new era and has become a powerful spiritual driving force for the Yimeng people to reform, innovate, forge ahead. This is Yimeng, which is more green—— Linyi adheres to the high-quality development path of green and low-carbon. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, Linyi has completed three standard upgrading and transformation of gas related industrial enterprises, reduced the energy consumption of 10000 yuan GDP by 17%, and increased the number of days with excellent air by 54 days in 2020. This is Yimeng where the industry is more prosperous—— In jiujianpeng village, a local town in Pingyi County, the party organization led the villagers to renovate wasteland, build stone canals, build a whole industrial chain integrating the cultivation of improved varieties of honeysuckle, promotion and planting, dried flower trade, R & D, production and sales of food and drugs, and build the village with high mountains and deep streams into a "Yimeng pearl". This is Yimeng with a richer life—— In November 2019, the high-speed railway entered Yimeng Mountain, and "lijiazhai station" became the only high-speed railway station named after the village along the line. Local cherries are transported by high-speed rail to all parts of the country to help Yimeng people increase their income and become rich. Eight hundred Li Yimeng has good scenery, and mountains and rivers are songs. With the help of Yimeng spirit, the children of Yimeng mountain area are moving forward bravely and constantly making progress. Facing the future, the people in the old areas will also continue to cut through thorns and thorns and depict a more magnificent picture of the times. (outlook new era)
