When did the living people of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain die?

At 23:00 on the evening of March 21, Ge Zhenlin, the last survivor of the "Langya Mountain Warriors", passed away at the 169 Hospital in Hengyang, Hunan Province. "I should have gone to find my comrades a long time ago. They have been waiting for me the whole time. 70 years." These were the last words Ge Zhenlin said before undergoing tracheostomy.

The five heroes are reunited, but the reality is that the story of this hero is slowly fading out of our sight. Reporters also learned yesterday that "The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" has been officially deleted from the textbook.

“I grew up with this story, but now my children don’t even know what the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain are.” One netizen posted this.

Have inspired a generation to grow

The story of the Five Heroes has been withdrawn from primary and secondary school textbooks

"In the new Chinese language textbook of Shanghai's second phase of curriculum reform, "Spike" "Five Heroes of Mountain" has been officially deleted." Yesterday, Xu Genrong, chief editor of the Shanghai textbook compilation team, told reporters that in addition to Shanghai's new Chinese textbooks, "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" has also been deleted from the new Chinese textbooks published by People's Education Press. content.

“The original choice of this article was out of consideration for keeping pace with the times.” Xu Genrong told reporters when talking about the reasons for choosing this article. At that time, revolutionary heroism accounted for the main component in the textbooks, and “Wolf” The Five Heroes of Asan resisted the Japanese imperialist invasion and used their last grenade to fight the enemy. They retreated step by step to the edge of the cliff until there was no way to retreat. In order to prevent the enemy from being captured, they jumped off the cliff and died. This story was popular in the 1970s. It's easy to have a scream in my heart."

"The textbooks at that time reflected the stories of the Long March, such as "Seven Matches", "Night Walk on the Grass", and "Flying to the Luding Bridge". Stories reflecting the Anti-Japanese War, such as "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" and "Little Heroes Come to Rain", "Dong Cunrui Sacrifice to Explode the Bunker", "Red Rock" and "Sister Jiang" which reflected the War of Liberation, and even "Huang Jiguang" that later reflected the War of Resistance against U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. "Sacrificing one's life to plug a bullet hole" was a major component of the textbook. At that time, both teachers and students had been educated on revolutionary heroism since childhood and had a deeper understanding of these war-themed stories. Some teachers had even experienced them personally, so "The teacher spoke emotionally in class, and the students listened with emotion, and achieved very good results," Xu Genrong told reporters.

At that time, after the teacher finished the lecture, he immediately held a theme class meeting to discuss the learning experience. The students also deeply realized that today's happy life was bought with the blood of the revolutionary martyrs. "This was in line with the social needs of the time, and these articles had a very good effect."

There are new heroes in the new era

"Similarly, the "Langya" The deletion of "The Heroes of the Five Mountains" from the new textbook is also a need of modern society. "Xu Genrong told reporters that today's society is dominated by diversity, and students need more fresh and diverse knowledge. In the past, revolutionary war themes were the main focus. The structure of the article is out of touch with the students' thoughts.

In addition, there is a time gap between the era reflected in "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" and modern society. The living environment of students since childhood has changed a lot from that time, and these articles have become more and more popular. It is difficult to arouse the enthusiasm of young teachers. If these war-themed texts are used to educate students, the role of "teaching" and "learning" will not be very great.

The new textbooks have also been preserved, such as "Flying to Capture Luding Bridge" and an article reflecting the birth and growth of He Long's daughter during the Long March, and more of them are life-oriented and children-oriented. Articles, and even articles reflecting new things from abroad, have produced good results in teaching.

“In the new era, revolutionary heroism is still needed, but this need should be transformed. Anyone who dedicates himself for the country and the people is revolutionary heroism. There were revolutionary martyrs during the past wars. In peacetime, there are Yang Liwei, Sang Lan, and even Liu Xiang. These people are all examples of dedicating themselves to the country. In the new era, they are doing their part in new ways, which are very close to life and to children. The environment is close. For example, Liu Xiang is from Shanghai. This is very helpful for children to understand what heroism is and how to achieve heroism.

The director talks about his love back then

You will never find such a crazy movie again

"You will never find another movie like it. Make the audience go crazy. "Yesterday afternoon, in an interview with this reporter, the director of the movie "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain", 80-year-old Shi Wenchi, told reporters.

In 1958, the then Beijing Bayi Film Producer Factory director Shi Wenchi received a task from the factory, asking him to understand the story of the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" and make it into a movie to "infect people with the revolutionary heroism story of the Anti-Japanese War."

Three days later, Shi Wenchi and the film crew rushed to Langya Mountain. They spent nearly a month learning about the situation at the homes of local fellows, and climbed up to Langya Mountain to experience the battle scene in person. Crying, I cry myself. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and cry when I recall it. "After thoroughly understanding the five heroes, Shi Wenchi felt that he had to tell the stories of these five heroes. After slightly modifying the script, the film officially started filming.

Due to the age, Shi Wenchi's scene during the filming I can’t remember it clearly anymore, “I only remember the hardships. It was a difficult period. Our entire film crew shot in the mountains for a whole day, but we didn’t bring any food, so we shot on an empty stomach. Later, the fellow villagers discovered our predicament and took their own The white flour at home was saved to make steamed buns for us. It can be said that this film was made with money from the people at the foot of Langya Mountain. "At that time, the filming of the film progressed very quickly. From the start of filming to the final editing, it took less than half a year. It was unanimously approved by the leaders of the film studio and was released immediately.

Didn't watch it The hero’s last appearance is a lifelong regret of mine

“After watching this film, the audience went crazy. "Old man Shi Wenchi told reporters that many places did not change movies for a year, showing them every day, and the theaters were full. Many people wrote down the lines and watched them when they had time during the day and night, and finally knew them by heart. A little soldier couldn't help but jump while watching They stood up and shouted to avenge the five heroes by killing the Japanese devils; another suddenly took the lead in shouting slogans in the cinema. In order not to affect other people watching the movie, they had to call someone to take him away.

"The last prototype in my movie also passed away. I feel that in the past, this was a story, but now, this movie has become a memorial. "Shi Wenchi said. According to him, when he was filming the movie, he didn't know that two of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain were still alive in the world. It wasn't until 1972 that he knew that it was because of this movie that Shi Wenchi became a cultural figurehead. During the Great Revolution, he was recognized as a "counterrevolutionary cultural authority" and spent ten years in prison in Shanxi. "If I had known that Ge Zhenlin was still alive when filming the movie, maybe the movie would have been better. After that, I wanted to see Ge Zhenlin many times and talk to him. Talk about it, but now it seems like a thing that will never be done. ”

The Japanese also saluted them

[Director] He won the respect of the enemy

Not many people knew about this story at the time, so Shi Wenchi searched all night After getting the information, I only learned that 5 soldiers jumped off the cliff after running out of ammunition and food, and the Japanese soldiers saluted them, but nothing else was found.

[Doctor] He is a doctor. A true hero

Ge Zhenlin was admitted to the 169 Hospital in Hengyang, Hunan Province on March 6.

Peng Hanlin, the director of internal medicine who rescued him, still remembers the time from accepting Ge Zhenlin to watching him leave. Every detail.

“He is really a hero,” Peng Hanlin kept telling reporters when being interviewed. It was not because he was still suffering from severe failure of seven organs in his body when he was hospitalized. The conversation and laughter were not because he kept telling the doctor, "This medicine is too expensive. I have lived long enough at my age. If I use less medicine, I can see my comrades earlier." Peng Hanlin told reporters that Ge Zhenlin jumped off the cliff. The 2 centimeter square deep pit that was left above his head can now be reached with a hand. “This may be the most obvious sign of a hero. "

[Son] is my spiritual support

"My father fell ill suddenly and didn't say anything before he died. A farewell ceremony will be held at 9:00 am this Friday. ceremony.

"Ge Zhenlin's eldest son, Ge Changsheng, told reporters what happened and what is about to happen after his father's death. In his words, his father's death left him with one less spiritual support, "Since we were young, the four of us brothers have been in our father's house. Teach us how to live, teach us how to behave, and teach us how to face society correctly. From tomorrow on, we can only rely on ourselves. "

[Little Soldier] He is a good old man

On the contrary, a little soldier from Hengyang Dry Rest Center in Hunan Province gave the reporter a unique answer, "Mr. Ge is gone. We are missing a good old man here. He told reporters a detail. Every sunny afternoon, Ge Zhenlin always sat in the sun, looking in the direction of Langya Mountain, and murmuring, "Brothers, you have been waiting on Langya Mountain for a long time." Yes, here I come. ”

Revisit the classic Five Heroes Jumping off the Cliff

Excerpted from the original primary school textbook

The squad leader looked at the sun and saw that it was already noon, but in order to allow the leadership and the main force to move farther and safer, the squad decided to hold on for a while. The Japanese army did not know how many Eighth Route Army troops were on the mountain, and they continued to attack the Japanese army. Unexpectedly, the sun was turning to the west, and Class 6 was almost retreating to the top of the mountain. While fighting, the squad leader discussed with everyone: if they moved out to find the main force, the Japanese army would definitely follow and pursue them, so the five people unanimously agreed to retreat to the top of the mountain. There was no way out. But retreat, there are cliffs on the other side of the mountain, and the enemy is chasing us here. What should we do? After all the bullets were fired, the squad leader unscrewed the cap of the last grenade. Everyone understood what the squad leader meant and moved towards him calmly and quickly, but At the moment when the grenade was about to explode, the squad leader suddenly threw the grenade towards the enemy group, then turned around, faced the cliff, and shouted, "Follow me!" "After jumping down, the other four people also imitated the monitor's behavior and jumped off the cliff together...
