A famous photo editorial

"Do it yourself" and "Have plenty of food and clothing" are the famous inscriptions of President Mao Zedong. 1943, the film troupe of the Eighth Route Army General Political Department filmed the documentary "Combination of Production and Fighting" (later renamed Nanniwan). At the end of the film, Wu Yinxian, then the camera captain, came to Zaoyuan, the seat of the CPC Central Committee in Yan 'an, and asked President Mao Zedong to write an inscription for the film. Mao Zedong readily agreed that Mao Zedong was writing outside the cave because it was too dark inside. He wrote "Do it yourself" and "Have plenty of food and clothing" on two pieces of white letterpress paper and signed his name. Each inscription is 2 10/0mm long and160mm wide. In the process of inscription, Mao Zedong wrote, Wu Yinxian filmed and finally made a movie. 1959, Wu Yinxian collected two inscriptions from Mao Zedong 16 and donated them to the military museum. It is now on display in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Pavilion. The words "do it yourself" and "have plenty of food and clothing" are not only Mo Bao left by Mao Zedong, but more importantly, whenever we see these two famous words, it reminds us of the hard years of Yan 'an mass production movement. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of strategic stalemate, the Japanese army launched a large-scale military attack on the liberated areas, carried out brutal "mopping-up" and economic blockade, in an attempt to completely destroy the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. The Kuomintang die-hards also actively pursued the anti-communist policy and stopped paying the people's army. Coupled with continuous natural disasters, an extremely serious and difficult situation has emerged in the liberated areas. What should I do in the face of serious difficulties? In order to persist in the long-term war of resistance and win the final victory, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a call to launch a large-scale production movement. 193865438+On February 20th, Xinhua Daily published an editorial entitled "Launching a Mass Production Campaign", demanding that the commanders and fighters in the liberated areas "work and produce at the same time, and work and production should be linked". 1February, 939, Mao Zedong made a vivid and profound speech at the production mobilization meeting in Yan 'an. He said: "Are we going to starve to death in the face of serious difficulties? What about dissolution? Or do it yourself? No one is in favor of starvation, and no one is in favor of dissolution. Do it yourself! This is our answer. " According to the policy of "self-sufficiency in production" and "developing production and ensuring supply" put forward by the CPC Central Committee and Mao Zedong, the Central Military Commission issued an instruction to the whole army in February 1942, requiring all the troops to fight, produce and study at the same time and carry out production campaigns according to different environmental conditions. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De also put forward the policy of "reclaiming farmland". Since then, the large-scale production movement has flourished in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region and the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. According to the call of the Party Central Committee, the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army set out for Nanniwan and other areas south of Yan 'an in the spring of 194 1 2008, and carried out military reclamation in this overgrown and uninhabited place. After three years of hard work, the officers and men of the 359 Brigade reclaimed more than10.2 million mu of land on the barren hills, turning Nanniwan into a "southern Shaanxi" full of crops and flocks of cattle and sheep. The 359th Brigade became a banner of the great production movement and was also widely carried out in the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. In guerrilla zones, troops are engaged in production while dispersing operations, and the "combination of labor and weapons" is implemented. Many guerrillas plough the land during the day and train at night. Through the mass production movement, the soldiers and civilians in the liberated areas basically solved the problem of feeding the soldiers and civilians, and achieved the goal of doing it themselves and having plenty of food and clothing, thus overcoming the serious difficult situation, breaking the economic blockade of the Kuomintang die-hards, and laying a material foundation for persisting in the war of resistance and winning the final victory of the war of resistance. The inscriptions of "Do it yourself" and "Have plenty of food and clothing" have become heirlooms and precious historical relics that guide us to overcome difficulties and hard struggle. I found it online. Thank you. Give it to me.
