Appreciation of the Original Text of Laoshan Street

We decided to climb a 30-mile-high Yaoshan Mountain, which is called Yuechengling on the map and Laoshan boundary on the soil.

Set out in the afternoon and walk up the ravine. I don't know why I can't go ahead. After waiting for a long time, I took a few steps and had to stop and wait. The queue was crowded and tired, so I sat down on the side of the road and waited for the front to shout "go, go, go", and then stood up and walked again. I wish I could go further, but I had to stop after walking a few times. It's getting late and hungry, and many people are so bored that they cry and scold. We stole an empty seat and ran to the front. The terrain gradually became steep. We have surpassed our own column and ran to the end of the column "Red Star". Just around the corner, we found a house by the road, so we went in to have a rest.

This is a Yao people, living with mother and daughter; The man probably heard about the team and went somewhere to hide according to the habit.

"Sister-in-law, let me lend you a rest here."

"Please sit inside." She said with some frightened expression. The team is still moving very slowly. We started talking to the Yao people. According to our experience along the way, no matter who they are, no matter how afraid they are of us at first, as long as we make it clear to them what the Red Army is, they will become very affectionate with us instead of turning their worries into happiness. Today, we will give the Yao people a try.

We talked about the Red Army, exorbitant taxes, Guangxi warlords forbidding Yao people to believe in their own religion and killing them, and talked about her life here. The woman began to cry.

She said that she used to own land, but the Han people drove them away from their own land. Now living in this barren mountain and planting other people's land have to pay a particularly heavy rent every year. She said: "Guangxi's exorbitant taxes and levies are particularly heavy on the Yao people, and Guangxi warlords especially bully them. If your Red Army had come earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much. "

She asked us if we were hungry. This question hit us right on the heart. She took out what little rice she had and cooked porridge on a wooden stove in the middle of the room. She apologized to us, saying that there was no rice and no cauldron, or she would cook more food for the troops. We gave her money but she didn't want it. Finally, a comrade I know came with a bag of rice, which was enough for three days. Although we knew there was a shortage of food ahead, we gave her a whole bag of rice. She accepted it gladly.

The army had to March at night today. Her house and fence are made of dead bamboo. We were afraid that someone would take it down as a torch, so we wrote several slogans and put it on a conspicuous place outside with rice soup, telling our troops not to take the fence down as a torch. We asked the Yao people, knowing that there was a bamboo forest ahead, and we could cut wood to make torches, so we sent people to prepare.

Porridge tastes sweet because I'm really hungry. We also serve bowls for Yao's mother and daughter.

Expanding knowledge: the historical background of Laoshan border

1934 10 The Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants started the Long March. In June, it crossed Xiangjiang River from Quanzhou, Guangxi1kloc-0/0, crossed Yuechengling at the junction of Quanzhou, Guangxi and Dongan and Xinning, Hunan, and headed for Guizhou. Comrade Lu, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, wrote the famous revolutionary memoir "Laoshan Border", which made the name "Laoshan Border" spread all over China. Yuechengling, commonly known as Laoshan Street, is one of the five mountains, with Huang Shun in Dong 'an in the middle. Lu Wen described several specific places where the Red Army crossed the Laoshan boundary, such as "Leigongyan", "Sugar House Side" and "Leipiling", which happened to be in Shunhuangshan National Forest Park. Lu called Laoshanjie (Huang Shun) "the first difficult mountain in the Long March" of the Red Army. Relying on Huang Shun's unique natural conditions and geographical advantages, it is planned to build Laoshan Scenic Area into a classic red tourist area with the theme of "Re-taking the Red Army Road in Laoshan" and promoting patriotism education, and to build Lu Mansion, the Red Army Long March Memorial Hall, the Red Army Long March Route and the development of coastal scenic spots.

After the Red Army broke through the enemy's fourth blockade, the troops successively entered the border between Guangxi and Hunan and the border between Hunan and Guizhou. This paper describes the marching situation of the military commission column in this area-editor's note). It is said that we are going to climb a 30-mile-high Yaoshan Mountain, which is called Yuechengling on the map and Laoshan Street locally.
