A Record of Class 3 and Class 7 Reunion of Xi Political College of the Former People's Liberation Army in Yinchuan

All along, I have a dream, that is, to see the rushing Yellow River, roaring yellow sand and endless desert, and to see the rough and unconstrained and simple folk customs in the northwest. This time, I finally caught the opportunity and stepped into Yinchuan city in the northwest at the invitation of the monitor!

This is an unforgettable meeting, this is an unforgettable gathering. Twenty-eight years ago, when they were young, they came to Xi 'an Government College to study from the border checkpoints and green barracks in the motherland. I have established a deep friendship during my two-year working career in the government committee. Now that the destiny has passed, there are two elders, two of whom are flowers.

History is fixed on August 3, 20 19. On this day, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is sunny. 1 1 students from Class 3, Grade 93, Institute of Political Science of the People's Liberation Army, at the invitation of monitor Zhang He Jushui, overcame many difficulties and came to Yinchuan from all directions of the motherland, without leaving any of them, to renew their friendship for 28 years.

? They are: Laoshan Warriors and Couples, former Class Three students, the captain of the second district, the cadres who choose their own jobs at the regimental level, the president of Laoshan Spiritual Research Association, and the visiting professor of Laoshan Spiritual Cadre College. He is from Yunnan. Beard, a professor in a communication college, enjoys the retirement benefits of deputy military officer and comes from Xi 'an. Walking in the clouds and his wife, a regimental cadre who is about to change jobs, come from Wuxi, Jiangsu. Mrs. Qi, a self-employed regimental cadre, comes from Guangyuan, Sichuan. Jia You, a cadre at the level of a district security bureau, is from Chongqing. Green water canoe and his wife are from Xi 'an, and they are cadres at the level of the Health Planning Commission. Zhiyu, a former student team clerk (a class 3 student), is a demobilized cadre in an organ and a native of Wuhan, Hubei. Yin Da and his family are in town. He was the former vice monitor of Class Three and a demobilized cadre. Now he is the chairman of a furniture group company and a native of Wuhan, Hubei. Zhang He Jushui, the former squad leader of Class Three, is a cadre at the regimental level who chooses his own job and is the organizer of the meeting in Yinchuan. Special guest, Chunqiu, male student representative of the student team, former Class 7 student, deputy division level cadre (active duty). Female classmate representative, JunkoS, a former Class 8 student, is a regimental demobilized cadre of an institution. They came from Xi 'an with their son.

Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, has both the boldness and boldness of "the desert is lonely and the long river sets the yen" and the beauty of the water town of "the spring water is blue and the boat listens to the rain". The monitor Zhang He is enthusiastic and meticulous. He personally arranged vehicle security for each guest and was responsible for picking up the car at the airport and the station. He is very considerate.

Welcome dinner, held at Miramar Hotel. The first thing you see is a banner that warmly welcomes the students from Class Three, team 7, Xi Political College of China People's Liberation Army to meet in Yinchuan. The excitement of students meeting is obvious. Hugs, handshakes and greetings often ring after the first meeting. During the dinner, every student drank heartily and told his own story in the conversation ... In order to add to the fun, the monitor also invited the Salar girl to propose a toast, sing toast song and pay tribute to every guest-present Hada. We Laoshan warriors are full of lofty sentiments, and one person killed three bowls in a row, pushing the banquet to one climax after another.

First, visit Husha Lake.

On August 4th, the tourist bus leaves from Hotel No.8 as soon as possible around 8 am. After briefly introducing himself, Xiao Wang briefly introduced our itinerary and the customs of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region:

Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, abbreviated as Ning, is one of the five major minority autonomous regions in China. It is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the west of China, bordering Shaanxi Province in the east, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the west and north, and Gansu Province in the south. The distance from north to south is about 456 kilometers, and the distance from east to west is about 250 kilometers, with a total area of more than 66,000 square kilometers. Yinchuan, the capital of the autonomous region. Ningxia is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, and Ningxia Province was established in 1928. 1654, the provincial organizational system was abolished and divided into Inner Mongolia and Gansu provinces. Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was founded on 1958.

Ningxia's specialties are Lycium barbarum, licorice, Helan stone, beach sheepskin and Nostoc flagelliforme, which are called five treasures because of their colors of red, yellow, blue, white and black respectively. Lycium barbarum L. is not only a valuable Chinese medicine, but also a kind of food for tonifying kidney and strengthening body. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch is known as "the king of traditional Chinese medicine". Helan inkstone is not only a practical product in Four Treasures of the Study, but also a precious craft collection. Ningxia Tan sheep is one of the excellent fur sheep in China. Tan sheep lambskin, usually with two hairs and one piece for about a month, is well-known at home and abroad for its excellent quality and unique style. Nostoc flagelliforme is one of the "eight treasures", which has both edible function and medicinal value. However, digging Nostoc flagelliforme will seriously damage the environment and lead to land desertification. Therefore, Nostoc flagelliforme has been listed as a wild sand-fixing plant protected and managed at the national level, and its collection and sale are prohibited.

Xiao Wang said that the first stop we visited today was Hu Sha Tourist Scenic Area, which is located in Pingluo County, Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It is a national AAAAA-level tourist scenic spot with natural landscape as the main body and sand, water, reed, birds and mountains as one. It is known as the first anniversary of "rare" cultural tourist attractions in the world. Husha Lake is an ancient river and lake, which is formed by the Yellow River through flash floods and groundwater overflow. Its characteristics are: the shape of the lake is irregular controlled by the shape of the depression; The depth of the lake is mostly 2 ~ 3 meters. Because of the low terrain around the lake and shallow groundwater level, soil salinization is more serious. Dunes can be divided into mobile dune, crescent dune, honeycomb dune, ridge dune, fixed dune, semi-fixed dune and flat dune according to their morphological characteristics and activity degree. The fixed and semi-fixed dunes are mainly grass dunes, with a height of 3 ~ 5 meters, and some of them are as high as 10 ~ 20 meters, without vegetation growth. Because the sandy land around the lake is widely distributed, it is named Hu Sha. Unconsciously, I came to the gate of the scenic spot. When Wang Dao bought the ticket, the students met and took a group photo.

?

After entering the gate of the scenic spot, everyone got on the special shuttle bus of the scenic spot, drove forward, crossed the long green reeds in clear water and blue sky, and came to Bird Island. I didn't see any birds when I went, but the primitive sand dunes were spectacular. After the students disembarked, the warriors from Chunqiu, JunkoS and Laoshan took off their bare feet and chose to ride camels to hide in the city and experience the northwest customs. Bearded, they chose to visit the Wetland Museum. Everyone is having a good time, having a good time. They think that Hu Sha Eco-tourism Zone is a tour that combines the beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River with the majestic desert in Saibei.

Second, western movies.

After a simple lunch at noon, under the guidance of the tour guide, we set off for the western cinema again.

Speaking of westerns, there is nothing surprising about appearance. However, they are located at the foot of the towering Helan Mountain, standing in a wilderness, surrounded by flat sand and desert. The special geographical features in the northwest set them off, which makes them exude a "field" atmosphere and give people some unpredictable historical information. In fact, they are two broken castles, Qingcheng and Mingcheng, which provide endless inspiration for film artists. It seems that everything on the Loess Plateau is integrated here, and the photographer can take a completely different rough and simple style as long as he changes his angle slightly. Strange to say, in this remote place, there have been many "big names", such as Xie Jin, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin and Wu.

Due to the hot summer in Ningxia, the sun is scorching. In this climate, we can only have a cursory look. After watching Qingcheng Mountain, the students in the fog sat in a cool and ventilated place waiting for other students to visit. Brother Jiayou and other students don't give up every wonderful thing, and always insist on seeing Mingcheng. In short, the essence of Ming and Qing cities, after all, time is limited and can only be said by others. ……

The earth wall of the castle has experienced vicissitudes, and the natural runoff washed out by wind and rain is like wrinkles on the old man's face, and the traces of wear and tear of the years cannot be reproduced manually; The earth city that has not yet collapsed is tall and straight, symbolizing the unique endurance of China people. It is broken and full of a heavy sense of history. Although I can't see more layman's doorways, we can only stop here. See you at the cinema. When the weather is cold, I will have a chance to visit the northwest again and feel your light!

Three. Shuidonggou

On August 5th, Wang Dao continued to take us sightseeing. Today's tourist attraction is the national 5A Shuidonggou tourist attraction, which is the earliest Paleolithic site excavated in China. It is also the best-preserved three-dimensional military defense system of the Great Wall in China. Shuidonggou is located in the core area of Binhe New District in Ningxia, which is 19 km away from Yinchuan City in the west and10/km away from Hedong Airport in the south, and is located on the side of provincial highway S 103. Scenic spots include Ningxia and Erdos, Inner Mongolia, two different cultural areas, and two scenic spots in the north and south, with a total area of 14.4 square kilometers.

Before entering the gate of the scenic spot, we first visited Shuidonggou Ruins Museum, where we can not only learn about the Paleolithic Age and the origin of human beings through exhibition boards, cultural relics, sculptures and phantom imaging, but also experience the production and life scenes of ancient human hunting, entertainment, sacrifice and bonfires 40,000 years ago. You can also experience shocking scenes such as heavy rain, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions when disasters come.

After visiting the museum, we got on the electric car in the scenic spot and took us to visit Shuidonggou Village. Through the visit to Shuidonggou Village, we reappeared the living tribes in northern China in ancient times, and learned about the way of life of ancient people.

When I arrived near Lu Hua Valley, some students didn't want to climb the mountain to visit the Ming Great Wall in the hot temperature. I climbed hill after hill and reached the Ming Great Wall alone. I looked around and actually experienced a different feeling. On the one hand, it is the farming people in the Central Plains, and on the other hand, it is the nomadic people in Mongolia. It's very different. It feels like crossing two provinces with one foot. Only in Shuidonggou can I experience it.

Back in Lu Hua Valley, I chased my classmates along the mountain road. In a hurry, the reeds on both sides are constantly swaying, green and lovely; Looking across the banks, there are cliffs about 15 meters high, which isomorphically form a unique and mysterious landscape outside the Great Wall.

? In the scenic spot, we boarded the cruise ship of Hongshan Lake. There are mandarin ducks and wild ducks swimming on the water, and the weeds on the shore are green and the scenery is very beautiful. The blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the bottom of the water, which can really be described as "people traveling in the world of pictures on the boat."

We walked a long way after disembarking. We chose bamboo rafts to experience the hardships of releasing people in ancient times. Immediately, everyone took a break, boarded the camel car and listened to the rough voice of the camel driver. I'm very happy to come to the last scenic spot-Tibetan Ice Cave.

In the unfathomable Grand Canyon leading from Shuidonggou to Hongshanbao, there are Tibetan soldiers caves in the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago. Relying on the majestic Great Wall, steep cliffs and mysterious ancient castles, it is even more magical.

At the entrance of the Tibetan soldier cave, the whole class took a group photo as a souvenir. The professional guide of Shuidonggou Tibetan soldier cave takes us into the cave while explaining, sometimes diverging and sometimes converging, just like a maze. There are small granaries, wells, cooking stoves, armories, powder magazines and traps, hidden weapons tunnels and battery pointing to the Grand Canyon and other military defense facilities. There is a small niche on the wall of the earthen house, where there is broken pottery, which seems to be an oil lamp. On the ground, you can also find the remnants of Ming weapons, coins, porcelain fragments and so on.

The Tibetan soldier cave twists and turns in the upper wall, connecting up and down, left and right. There are many forks in the cave, and the left plate turns right for a long time. It's really like a maze. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with the situation in the cave to come out. In addition to the tunnel, there are earthen houses on the left and right sides of the cave, which can accommodate people, probably for officers with troops. There is also a grain storage room in the cave, including a well and a kitchen. As long as enough food is stored, the soil hidden in the cave will not come out of the hole for a corresponding period of time and can still survive. Because the hidden soldier cave is above the bottom of the ditch 10 meter, it can be free from floods. Over the years, even if there are flash floods, the caves of Tibetan soldiers have never been flooded. We are really amazed at the wisdom of the ancients.

When we got out of the hole, we switched to tractor transportation. Pull everyone back to the original point.

Four. Military culture exposition park

In the afternoon, after a short rest, the bus took us to the Yellow River Military and Cultural Expo Park. The Yellow River Military Culture Expo Park is about 30 kilometers away from Yinchuan City and 6 kilometers away from Hedong International Airport. With a total area of nearly 4,000 mu and a total investment of 2 billion yuan, the construction target will be completed in three phases. At present, the main buildings are Yinchuan Ship, Yinchuan Ship Memorial Hall, Weapons and Equipment Exhibition Hall of the Armed Forces of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and Peace Square Tourist Area. The second phase of construction has also been fully rolled out. 2065438+August 2008, the submarine Yinchuan was officially installed in the Yellow River Military and Cultural Expo Park.

After the students bought the tickets and electric tickets, they slowly entered the park and got on the electric car directly. After a while, the traffic car pulled us near the Yinchuan submarine. Xiao Wang, the tour guide, shows you around Yinchuan submarine.

Fortunately, we have never boarded submarines and ships in the military camp for many years, and the submarine Yinchuan has only surfaced for tourists to visit. After taking photos directly from the submarine, the students boarded the ship to watch, passing through the bow, torpedo tube, wireless communication, sailor living area and so on. In the narrow officers' lounge, I took a photo and realized that coastal defense is more difficult than land warfare!

After visiting the submarine Yinchuan, we continued to take the electric car in the scenic spot and dragged us to Yinchuan Ship Square. Under the guidance of the full-time tour guide of the Military Expo Park, with the explanation of the cat land, impeller and rudder, we unconsciously arrived at the Yinchuan Ship Memorial Hall. The tour guide took us directly to the second floor and told us that Yinchuan was a guided missile destroyer of the North Sea Fleet 107, with a class of (05 1). 1972+05 was formally established in Dalian Hongqi Shipyard, and 1972 was launched in June. The first is to complete several major combat readiness exercises and reception tasks. Won the third-class merit 1 time, and was rated as "Olympic advanced collective" by the central government in 2008. In the summer of 20 12, he successfully completed his historical mission, retired from active service and handed over to Yinchuan National Defense Education Base. After a preliminary understanding of Yinchuan ship facilities in the memorial hall, the tour guide continued to lead us to visit the physical ships directly, from missile launchers to ground guns, anti-aircraft guns and other weapons that are symmetrical before and after. When leaving Yinchuan ship, the students took a group photo as a souvenir.

In two days, I visited four 5A scenic spots around Yinchuan. Seeing the scenery is not the purpose, but the party is the theme. Thank you, monitor Zhang He, for the planning and contact of gathering water and beard, and deeply thank them for their hard work! The party dinner was held on the third floor of Ningxin Garden. Minister Yang, fellow villager and monitor comrade-in-arms, sent drinks to the students. The monitor Zhang He drew water and prepared a precious gift for each student: exquisite Helan stone and medlar. During the dinner, Salar girls were invited to sing and toast. At the feast of roasting the whole sheep, Lao Shanbing, as a representative, was invited to bless the whole sheep, drink a bowl of wine with solemn etiquette, then share the head of the sheep and split the roasted sheep. This kind of etiquette reminds me that the mountains, grasslands and the land of vast expanse are all in the west of the motherland, which can only be described as heroic atmosphere.

The west, the endless land, attracted me, and an unforgettable party remembered me. The breeze and bright moon are linked by sleeves, and the separation of Yinchuan is difficult to control. All good things must come to an end. Thanks again to my old monitor! Thank you, Beard! I wish the students good health, look forward to the evening party in western Hubei next year, and experience a different wonderful and mysterious journey to find the savage in the dreamland! If you like, go and see the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, the hydropower capital of the world! Wisdom is waiting for you
