History is the root of reality, and vivid history always gives people a vigorous driving force. 2024 marks the 90th anniversary of the departure of the Red Army's Long March. From September 23 to 27, the Fujian Armed Police Force organized a themed propaganda activity to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the departure of the Red Army's Long March, titled "Tracing the Starting Point of the Long March and Continuing the Spirit of the Long March". Editors and reporters from more than 10 mainstream media outlets from the central and provincial levels visited the Ninghua Squadron of the Sanming Detachment, the Changting Squadron of the Longyan Detachment, and the Shanghang Squadron of the Fujian Armed Police Force to discuss the "Long March Spirit" and the mission of strengthening the military with officers and soldiers. From the starting points of the Red Army's Long March, Ninghua and Changting in Sanming, to the "two great starting points" of our army, Shanghang in Longyan, from the exemplary unit that inherited the "audible code" through relay to the "Hangchuan Defender" who forged the soul and educated people with the spirit of the Gutian Conference, the reporters of the interview team visited and recorded the vivid deeds of the officers and soldiers of the three units who remembered the instructions of their predecessors and inherited the spirit of the Red Army one after another; Deeply telling the touching story of the deep bond and life and death dependence between the descendants of the contemporary Red Army and the local people. While honing their footwork, vision, brainpower, and pen skills, they use their brushstrokes and lenses to bring history into reality, making people more confident and focused on the new era of the Long March towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Following the footsteps of the Long March, the pen in hand never stops treading on muddy paths, admiring the tombstones of martyrs; Walk across the majestic 'Red Army Bridge' and listen to the story of 'life contour lines'; Arriving at the Red Gutian, documenting the historical process of the People's Army's phoenix rebirth and rebirth from the ashes... During the interview, it coincided with several days of continuous rainy weather in various parts of Fujian. Media colleagues persevered to the scene and learned about that period of history from every citizen and officer they came into contact with, striving to make their news works flesh and blood, and withstand the test of history. Almost all the places we pass through are rugged mountains, and it often takes us a morning by car to reach an interview point. It's hard to imagine how Red Army soldiers could accomplish such impossible tasks when they had to rush over 200 miles a day and engage in fierce battles with the enemy Fujian TV reporter Liao Chuanliang sighed. At the first stop of the interview - Ninghua, Sanming, the members of the interview team were deeply shocked by a set of numbers: during the Land Revolution period, Ninghua County, with a population of only over 130000, had more than 13700 people join the Red Army, with an average of 1 in every 10 people joining the Red Army; There were over 6000 Red Army soldiers from Ninghua who participated in the Long March, but only 58 survived upon reaching northern Shaanxi. What kind of spiritual strength has supported them through the arduous, tortuous, and costly path of thorns? The charge signals sounded by the signalmen of the Ninghua Squadron of the People's Armed Police have aroused the thinking of the reporters. They realized that the answer lies in the sound of military signals echoing through the sky and crossing time and space. Since its establishment, the Ninghua Squadron has undergone 9 reorganizations, but generations of officers and soldiers have inherited the "audible code" without changing color. Now, each officer and soldier in the squadron has an exclusive military number, forming a good situation where everyone strives to become a bugler. When asked why the successive officers and soldiers of the squadron had a special fondness for military numbers, under the leadership of Captain Cai Yue, the reporters walked into the squadron's honor room. Here lie three military insignia books quietly. The oldest one is a replica of the "Military Register of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" that was guarded with the life of the veteran Red Army officer Luo Guangmao. During the years of war, Luo Guangmao and his family protected this register to avoid the "White Terror" and demonstrated their loyalty to their mission with their lives; The second one is the PLA military directory handwritten by the grandfather of Li Hao, the former squadron commander, when he retired from the army in 1964; The third book was issued to squadron signal officers during higher-level training after the restoration of the signal system in the entire army on October 1, 2018. The three military genealogies have different times and contents, but the original aspiration of the people's army, which is loyal to the Party and unwavering, has never changed. Warriors such as Wen Zhengfa, Zhang Jiahao, and Wang Cheng, who served as the bugler, became the guiding force in the hearts of their comrades. On important occasions such as July 1st and August 1st, as well as the departure of new recruits and the retirement of old soldiers, the squadron organizes officers and soldiers to visit the stone carvings and display cabinets of military insignia, enhancing their sense of honor and mission, and inspiring their firm belief in inheriting the legacy of martyrs and engaging in the practice of strengthening the military. This also invisibly infects every journalist in the interview team. Don't look at a small military horn, it's not easy to sound it Introduction by Teacher Wen Zhengfa. In order to blow the military signal well, Wen Zhengfa and his comrades practiced vibration by blowing leaves and burying their faces in a water basin to hold their breath. Due to the prolonged use of heavy mouthpieces tightly against the lips, many people have swollen their lips and worn out the inner lip skin, so they can only eat with caution while covering their lips. Hard work pays off. Nowadays, Wen Zhengfa can proficiently and smoothly play the resounding military bugle, and has also led 4 or 5 disciples. "I am the one in charge of the bugle in the team on a daily basis, and sometimes everyone plays it together to make progress together," he said. The shy smile and simple narration deeply infected all the reporters present. Returning to the starting point of the Long March of the Red Army, I deeply appreciate the noble spirit of the Red Army martyrs who sacrificed heroically for the country and the nation, as well as their relentless pursuit of ideals and beliefs. It also inspires us to explore and interview the advanced models and touching stories that emerged among the officers and soldiers of the People's Armed Police in the new era under the inspiration of the Long March spirit through our brushstrokes and lenses, and to inspire the magnificent force of commemorating revolutionary martyrs and realizing national rejuvenation among the vast number of officers and soldiers and the whole society Liao Chuanliang stated. Telling the story of the Long March well, a new chapter in the history of dialogue. "Pursuing the starting point of the Long March, recounting the story of the Long March, it is easy to say it, but difficult to say it," sighed Dai Min, a reporter from Fujian Daily. Where is Yi? The historical materials of the Long March are rich, and there are too many inspiring stories. With a casual flip and a firsthand look, one is often moved. Where is the difficulty? The smoke of war has faded away, and the witnesses of history are gradually fading away. The heroic spirit of the Red Army's struggle needs new carriers and forms of expression today. How to reproduce the historical temperature and resonate with the audience and officers and soldiers is a challenge. The second stop of the interview came to Longyan Changting, which is the core area of the Central Soviet Area. It has both the glory of the "Red Flag Roaring" and the tragedy of the "Broken Sun Like Blood". At the starting point of the Long March of the Red Army - by the Red Army Bridge in Zhongfu Village, Changting County, members of the journalist team and officers and soldiers of the Longyan Detachment of the People's Armed Police listened to the narration of the "Red Third Generation" commentator, Mr. Zhong Ming. In the Battle of Songmaoling during the Fifth Anti Encirclement and Suppression Campaign, the Red Army suffered heavy casualties. In order to replenish its troops, the local Soviet government carved a line on a wooden corridor bridge, which was 1.5 meters high and the height of a bayonet mounted rifle. In the Zhongfu Village area, more than 2000 children have walked along that contour line. Most of them rushed straight to the battlefield, leaving only their last silhouette behind. Among these more than 2000 people, only 10 were left when they arrived in northern Shaanxi, and only 6 survived and returned to the village This particularly moved the members of the interview team and the armed police officers and soldiers. Zhongfu Village is known as the "First Village of the Red Army's Long March". Every year after new recruits leave the army, the Changting Squadron of the People's Armed Police organizes officers and soldiers to come to Zhongfu Village to hold a swearing in ceremony, allowing new comrades to always remember the glorious history of the Red Army's Long March and draw inspiration from the spirit of the great Long March to strengthen and revitalize the army. The poem "Life Contour Line" created by officers and soldiers has also become a red classic for comrades to hone each other's skills, widely circulated. However, Dai Min and the reporters from the interview team are both pondering a question: the plight of the local residents and Red Army officers and soldiers is admirable, but how should we inherit it today? With this question in mind, they walked into the Changting Squadron of the People's Armed Police and, after in-depth excavation, captured a large amount of fresh materials. For many years, the officers and soldiers of the squadron have always followed the example of revolutionary predecessors and maintained close ties with the people. In the past, Nankeng Village in Cewu Town, Changting County was plagued by barren mountains and barren land, and was also known as the "difficult pit village" due to severe soil erosion. The officers and soldiers of the squadron took the initiative to pair up with Nankeng Village for assistance, organizing multiple batches of personnel to go to Nankeng Village for afforestation, cleaning the village, and joint production. With the joint efforts of all officers, soldiers, and local residents, Nankeng Village has undergone a transformation and become a demonstration site for agricultural tourism projects in Fujian Province. It has won honors such as "National Civilized Village" and "Fujian Provincial Health Village". Nowadays, in Nankeng Village, the mountain breeze blows and the green trees provide shade, nurturing endless hope. Whenever we see these, we cannot forget the efforts of the armed police officers and soldiers. They are the successors of the Red Army in the new era! "Said Shen Tengxiang, former party branch secretary of Nankeng Village. During the interview, journalist Dai Min not only listened to the touching story, but also paid more attention to exploring the underlying meaning. In his view, a yellowed "Advanced Collective in Flood Control and Disaster Relief" plaque is a spiritual inheritance; A winding Red Army path, today it is the main road to poverty alleviation and prosperity, which is a reenactment of the spirit of Red Army officers and soldiers serving the people wholeheartedly; The soldiers sang red songs in unison, and the officers and soldiers spontaneously competed to become "red interpreters", forming the "Gutian Torch" theoretical explanation team, which is a continuation of the red gene... "To tell the story of the Long March, it is necessary to connect the logic before and after. For example, every line of text left by the soldiers in the bookish military camp is actually a window to observe and understand their red memory; the performance of the officers and soldiers in handling emergencies and emergency rescue is actually the best interpretation of the Red Army's style, discipline, and spirit of the Long March." Dai Min said, "Only by guarding and honing each other before and after can we resonate with history and dialogue with reality. Having seen the red sitcom "Life Contours" written and performed by the officers and soldiers, Yang Haoyu, a reporter of People's Daily Online, said with emotion, "I will never forget this scene. Although the soldiers' acting skills are not as good as professional actors, their spirit of perseverance for victory is really touching. In those days, the Red Army held the steel gun tightly and braved the bullets to lead the people to emancipate themselves. Now we are holding a pen pole to tell the story of the new Long March of the armed police officers and soldiers in the face of the rainstorm scorching sun. We also shoulder the historical heavy trust, and our family and country feelings are consistent." Sing the song of faith, and perform the mission clearly As Gutian Town, Shanghang County, Longyan, it is the place where our Party establishes the principles of ideological Party building and political military building, the place where our military's political work is laid, and the place where the new people's army is shaped. Amidst green mountains and lush greenery, the eight red characters "Gutian Conference Shines Forever" shine brightly at the site of the Gutian Conference. At the last stop of the interview, the journalist team arrived here. Back in December 1929, the 9th Congress of the Fourth Army of the CPC Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was held here. This meeting was a milestone in the history of the founding of the Party and the army. The people's army at the beginning of its founding achieved nirvana and rebirth here. The convening of the Gutian Conference injected soul and belief into our party and military, and opened up a new process of ideological and political building for our party and military In the memorial hall, Li Yicong, the "Red Explainer" of the Armed Police Shanghang Squadron, spoke confidently to reporters and the officers and soldiers of the squadron, which also allowed all reporters in the interview team to experience a baptism of red history. For a long time, the Armed Police Shanghang Squadron stationed here has been based on its unique political advantage of being in Gutian, promoting the spirit of the Long March and inspiring officers and soldiers to never forget their original aspirations and forge ahead on the journey of the new era. Zhou Xucong Arrived! "" You are the 27th officer and soldier in the squadron to receive personal third class merit. We hope you can cherish the honor, work hard, and achieve better results... "The reporters walked into the camp of the Armed Police Shanghang Squadron, and what caught their eye was the honor wall ceremony held by the officers and soldiers, solemnly hanging the honor certificate and medal
