The prototype of the shining red star

Many people think that The Sparkling Red Star is a touching story about the Jinggangshan revolutionary base in Jiangxi. In fact, The Sparkling Red Star tells the story of Macheng, the revolutionary base of Dabie Mountain in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. Teacher Li Xintian said in an interview with China Radio Network: "The prototype of Pan Dongzi in my novel is Bao, who is the son of General Bao Xianzhi, the founding lieutenant general of Macheng, Hubei."

So how did Li Xintian know Bao Su Sheng and create The Sparkling Red Star based on Bao Su Sheng? This has to start with General Bao Xianzhi. Bao Xianzhi, 19 1 1, was born in Baojiawan, Xizhangdian, Shunhe Town, Macheng City, Hubei Province on March 6th. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/926, Bao Xianzhi devoted himself to revolutionary propaganda activities and joined the children's league as the captain. He was elected as the chairman of the village Soviet in 1930, and joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants in that year 10. After the Long March of the Red Army, the Kuomintang Home Returning Corps sold Bao Xianzhi's wife to other places and his son Bao Su Sheng to the landlord. Bao was punished in the landlord's house. After liberation, Bao Su Sheng found his father Bao Xianzhi. In view of Bao's low cultural level, 1965, Bao Xianzhi invited Bao to study in the military culture crash middle school held by Nanjing Military Region. At that time, Li Xintian was a teacher in the military culture crash middle school. Because Bao Su Sheng is older among the students, he often chats with Teacher Li Xintian after school. At that time, Bao Su Sheng told Li Xintian about his childhood growth experience, talked about the viciousness of landlords and the homecoming group, talked about the beauty of rhododendron in Macheng Mountain, and talked about the story of expecting the Red Army to return home. Bao's tragic childhood deeply touched Li Xintian, and the image of "Pan Dongzi" finally came to the fore, which provided favorable materials for his later creation of "Sparkling Red Star". Speaking of the prototype of "Pan Dongzi", a little-known story in the Cultural Revolution proved that the prototype was Bao. 1975 In the early summer, Li Xintian was informed that he would attend a model opera seminar. Three people dressed in gray are sitting in front of the stage. At first, there was no accident. Later, they talked about The Sparkling Red Star, and asked Li Xintian to talk about the basis of his creation and his impression of Xu Youshi. He said nothing about the model opera, and the atmosphere was very dull. At noon, on the way to Xintianjia, Li See, one of them said that something was wrong with "Sparkling Red Star" and asked Li Xintian to tell the truth about the basis of creation, not to tell anyone in the military region, and took away Li Xintian's creative notes. Half a month later, the creative notes were returned to Li Xintian, who told me that the matter had passed. It turned out that someone complained to Jiang Qing that "Sparkling Red Star" was a monument to Xu You. Why is it a biography of Xu? Because Xu's son's experience is similar to that of Bao. Guang Xu, formerly known as Xu, was born to Xu and his wife. He has suffered from the war since he was a child. After the founding of New China, Xu Youshi took him out of the countryside and sent him to school to study culture. At that time, Jiang Qing wanted to defeat Xu You, so she tried to make a "sparkling red star" shell. Later, Bao Susheng took the initiative to admit that "The Sparkling Red Star" was about their family, and this matter was also concluded. Another reason why Bao Su Sheng wrote about their home is that "Dongzi" is actually the nickname of Bao Su Sheng's younger brother. Bao Su Sheng's younger brother Bao Dongdong is smart and cute. In the compound of Nanjing Military Region, he was nicknamed "Dongzi".
