Kou Qingyan, the Centennial Red Army, celebrated its centenary birthday this year. Why is it so sad to recall the Long March?

Kou Qingyan, the Centennial Red Army, celebrated its centenary birthday this year. Yesterday, the medical staff of Ersha Island Branch of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine held a birthday party for him, celebrating Koulao's extraordinary century-long history with peach blossoms and flowers. Kou Lao's spirit is still good and his mood is good. Looking back on the hard years when he crossed the grassland three times in the Long March, he recited a jingle at the scene: "Cowhide is three feet long, and the wasteland and grassland are good for dry food ..." Some contemporary young people doubted whether the Red Army had eaten belts during the Long March, but Kou Lao proved that belts, leather shoes and saddles were used by the Red Army to satisfy hunger at that time.

/kloc-Kou Qingyan, who took part in the revolution in 0/928, is a "living history book" of the Red Revolution in China. He had a narrow escape in the Long March and crossed the grassland three times. On the way, Mr. Zhu De saved his life. Later, Kou Qingyan was also a witness to the arduous eight-year war of resistance and the magnificent three-year war of liberation.

Kou Qingyan joined the revolution in 1928, joined the red army in 193 1 and joined the party in the same year. He joined the Red Fourth Front Army and served as a soldier, squad leader, platoon leader, party committee officer, company instructor and security instructor of the 10th Division and 30th Regiment. For the course of the Red Fourth Front Army, Mr. Kou became "starting from Dabie Mountain, making a fortune in Daba Mountain, getting married in Taihang Mountain, and then returning to Dabie Mountain."

As a member of the Red Fourth Army, Kou Lao crossed the grassland three times on the way to the Long March. The hard years of the Long March are still deeply engraved in Kou Qingyan's heart after many years. At yesterday's birthday party, he recited the popular jingle "Cowhide with Song" among the Red Army soldiers: "Cowhide with three feet long, wasteland grass is good for dry food. One is used to cook wild vegetables, and the other is used to cook fresh soup. There are many dishes and soups, so leave a comrade-in-arms to taste them. " Now some young people question whether the Red Army really ate belts during the Long March. Kou Qingyan said: "In the end, I didn't eat anything. I cooked my belts, saddles and leather shoes."

On the revolutionary journey, Kou Qingyan experienced life and death, and his life hung by a thread, one of which was saved by Zhu De. According to Kou Qingyan's previous oral interview, the Red Army arrived in Gannan, Gansu in June of 5438+0936+00. At that time, Kou Qingyan, who had been transferred to the reconnaissance section chief of 3 1 Army 9 1 Division Command, was attacked by the Kuomintang army while leading a platoon on a mission, and many Red Army soldiers died heroically. Kou Qingyan broke through with six soldiers, and Zhang was "Left" at that time.

After reading the telegram, Zhu De said angrily, "You can't kill so many' reorganization factions'!" Saved Kou Qingyan's life. Kou Qingyan is a centenarian today. Although his hearing is not very good, he still speaks clearly and has a good memory. An old coach soldier summed up his health care experience as "If you want to live a long life, stick to walking." Making friends is basically a vegetarian. Feel comfortable and have a moderate work and rest. "
