Red footprints, 300-word essay on inheriting red culture

A month ago, I was flipping through a thick stack of reports and plans for the 80th anniversary of the Gutian Conference in my hand, counting the familiar words - "Fourth Red Army" and "A single spark can start a prairie fire." , "September Letters", I repeatedly tried to pick up the stories about that era that I had read in history books and political books. However, those incomplete and fragmented memories cannot weave together a complete historical fragment in my mind. Although those turbulent years were unpredictable, they still carried heavy spiritual accumulation. At the beginning of December, Director Chen Zi took me to Western Fujian, a red land full of heroic legends, to re-trace the red footprints left here by the revolutionary pioneers.

In the past few years since I started working, I have visited Longyan in western Fujian many times, but it was my first time to visit Gutian in Shanghang. I paid homage to the Gutian Conference site and then visited the Gutian Conference Memorial Hall. I gained a perceptual understanding of this piece of history, and the original incomplete memories in my mind were gradually connected together. Returning to the station in the evening, I invited two brothers from "Google" and "Baidu" to sort out what they saw and heard during the day. But with the gathering of information and the integration of materials, as well as the different opinions of experts and experts, the interview outline on the computer screen unknowingly underwent a terrible fusion, and the historical narrative of thousands of words was like a worm in my mind. The retinas and cerebral cortex were struggling and twisting, and several good news plans were turned into "epics" by me. However, each news item in the series is scheduled to be only three minutes long.

In the following days, I was entangled with many questions - why did the Fourth Red Army come to western Fujian? From the First Party Congress of the Fourth Red Army to the Ninth Party Congress, from the abolition of the Military Commission to the restoration of the Military Commission, from the removal of Mao Zedong's position as the Front Committee to the invitation of Mao Zedong to return to the army, what kind of story happened? Why was it that Mao Zedong made the resolution of the Gutian Conference not in Gutian but in Xinquan? In the days after leaving the Fourth Red Army, where did Mao Zedong go and what did he do? This series of questions are all related to Mao Zedong, and if the cause and effect of these problems can be solved, maybe the creative ideas will suddenly become clear. Maybe I should go and see the places Mao Zedong visited in western Fujian...< /p>

Following the footsteps of great men, we came to Xinquan, Changting, Caixi and other places where Mao Zedong once fought and lived. During the search, Chen Zi taught me a way of "breaking the whole into parts and adding zeros." ” work ideas. Everywhere we go, in addition to understanding the main tasks and work of Mao Zedong and the Fourth Red Army here at that time, we must also analyze and study the writing background based on the important works Mao Zedong left here, and we must not even let go of any one "Grapevine" circulating among the people and every detail may add charm to the entire report. Therefore, none of the old people, experts, tour guides, and even the vague slogans left on the walls of the old houses were spared our visit.

As the interview progressed, each of the original questions was solved. In Xinquan, we learned about the military and political conflicts that existed within the Fourth Red Army at that time; from the old man's story, we learned about the complexity of the war situation at that time, and Mao Zedong's forced transfer after drafting the "Gutian Conference Resolution" in Xinquan; in Changting and Caixi, Mao Zedong's two works "Concern for the Lives of the Masses and Pay Attention to Work Methods" and "Caixi Township Investigation" reveal that Mao Zedong carried out in-depth social investigations at that time, which laid the foundation for the formation of Mao Zedong Thought.

After sorting through the materials again, the materials used to build the historical framework in the entire series of reports are all available. The far-reaching significance of the Gutian Conference lies far beyond the small Liao Ancestral Hall in Gutian Town. In less than 20 months from the First Party Congress of the Fourth Red Army in April 1928 to the Seventh Party Congress in December 1929, the tortuous and repeated debates that occurred within the Fourth Red Army and the final establishment of The principle of correctness, every key time point in this process and the story that happened to Mao Zedong constitute the main line of the first episode of the series of reports; at the same time, Mao Zedong’s investigation and research work carried out in the fields and rural farmhouses during his stay in western Fujian, It also brings to the surface the theme to be expressed in the second episode.

This red trip in western Fujian gave a boost to the official shooting, making the history that happened 80 years ago no longer distant and unfamiliar. Now the series of reports has been successfully produced and broadcast, and each episode carries a strong historical weight and immortal revolutionary spirit.

For me, this interview goes beyond a general thematic report or a set of essays. It is more like an experience of traveling through time and space, so much so that I, who have placed myself in the torrent of history, still cannot extricate myself.

Recently, students who participated in the "Red Search" activity launched the activity of "hundreds of searching students attending hundreds of Youth League branches and hundreds of party classes". By organizing a unique Youth League branch learning activity, they transformed themselves into What you thought and realized during the search process was passed on to more students. At present, more than 60 visiting students have visited various Youth League branches.

On the podium, Luo Gang, a graduate student majoring in German from the School of Foreign Languages ??of Zhejiang University, shared with his classmates his feelings about visiting the site of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China. "The convening of the National Congress is like a red sun rising in the east, illuminating the future of the Chinese revolution. Re-exploring the history of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I feel more deeply the greatness of the party."

Three students on the podium truly shared their experiences of searching with everyone. Bai Yangzan, a grade 2008 undergraduate student in the School of Electrical Engineering, comes from a "family of party members". During the winter vacation, three party members from his family visited the Xibaipo Revolutionary Memorial Hall. "As a party member, facing the party flag in front of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, I reflect on my life and study. Someone once asked me why I joined the party, and I said, I want to become a better person. Entering the Revolution In the holy land of Xibaipo, many feelings that I could not experience before emerged at that moment. I am proud to be a party member," Bai Yangzan said excitedly.

This winter vacation, traveling 5,000 kilometers from north to south, from his hometown of Heilongjiang to Shenzhen, Xu Lei, a first-year engineering information student at Zhejiang University, followed the development pace of Shenzhen and realized the huge changes brought about by reform and opening up. Xu Lei said emotionally: "Our young party members shoulder the important task of opening up the future. This is a responsibility, an honor, and a mission inherited from the old and the new.
