A 100-word letter to the old Red Army

Dear Red Army Grandpa:

Hello!

I remember that we studied a text called "The Stubborn Little Red Army". The little Red Army in the article who would rather sacrifice himself than drag others down made our hearts unable to calm down for a long time. Everyone said that he did not die, but was temporarily comatose. Later, he was rescued by the Red Army troops behind him. Later he participated in the Anti-Japanese War, then ushered in the liberation of the country, then he entered school and became a diligent student, and then he became an old general. He is you. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Red Army's Long March, I picked up my pen and wrote you this letter.

Do you remember? During your Long March, you crossed the Jinsha River by chance on May 3, 1935, and entered Huili, known as the "Key to Sichuan and Yunnan" in history, for rest and recuperation. Huili is my hometown. It is a place with a long history. It has counties and counties as early as the sixth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (111 BC). It is also the cradle of the revolutionary fire. On May 10, 1935, " The Red Army is coming! The Red Army is coming!" This voice resounded throughout Huili like spring thunder, and the people of Huili were elated. They quickly took action to cooperate with the Red Army in the struggle of "fighting the rich and helping the poor." Tong'an, Zhangguan, Nange, Dongba, Jishui, Huilicheng Beiguan, Sizong Village... The red flag was fluttering and Huili was boiling. According to "The March of the First Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", the Red Army recruited more than 5,000 new soldiers in the Huili area. For a time, a popular song was sung across the land of Huili. : "When the Red Army arrives, the cadres laugh, and the grain gentry screams; when the white army arrives, the cadres scream, and the grain gentry laughs. We must make the cadres laugh every day, and the white army will not arrive until the red army arrives." After the Red Army withdrew from Huili, there was still a 100-man army. The guerrillas controlled by people are active in the high mountains of Huili. Amidst the bloody storm of the enemy's crazy counterattack and revenge, the people of Huili are closely connected with the Red Army. Many people risk their lives to protect and take care of the Red Army's remaining soldiers. The wounded and sick, and the slogans written by the Red Army and the items left behind were preserved. The fire of revolution has been deeply buried in the hearts of the people of Huili. In 1938, the famous "Huili Wazizhai" uprising broke out in the Maoyan and Shanmudong areas of Liuhua Township, Huili. This struggle lasted for nearly ten years and was the revolt of the Yi people in Liangshan against the slave owners and the Kuomintang reactionaries. The famous struggle for domination. The people of Huili can not only fight tenaciously against injustice in the troubled old world, but also take bold steps forward in the new society.

Today's Huili is glowing with youthfulness, showing her vigorous vitality. The county of 4,522 square kilometers is rich in mineral resources. Pomegranates, flue-cured tobacco, and minerals have become Huili's three pillar industries and are famous throughout the country.

With the clarion call for the development of the western region, Huili has taken another historic step. Regional advantages have been further developed. By seizing the economic pillar of flue-cured tobacco, vigorously developing animal husbandry and forestry and fruit industries, and integrating mineral resources, we have truly enriched the people and increased their income. People's living standards have been greatly improved, and urban construction is progressing with each passing day. Rows of tall buildings, neat and spacious streets, row upon row, riverside avenues with green willows fluttering and the fragrance of flowers have become a good place for leisure and entertainment for Huili people. Where to go: The West Ring Road and North Ring Road that are being expanded have built a transportation network extending in all directions in Huili, and the construction of pedestrian streets is also in full swing. The urban functions are becoming more and more perfect, and the beautification, greening and lighting of roads have made the people of Huili feel the sweetness and happiness of life.

Dear Grandpa of the Red Army, today’s society is as dense as sugar, coupled with the profound cultural accumulation, glorious revolutionary tradition, and pleasant spring-like climate all year round, don’t you want to revisit your old place? Do you feel this happy time? Grandpa of the Red Army, the people of Huili welcome you!

Wish you good health and all the best!
