Nanshan Village, Yinzu Town, daye city, once known as "Xiaojinggang" in Hubei Province, commonly known as Nanshantou, is located about17km south of the urban area. The mountains are criss-crossed, the water mouth is closed and the terrain is dangerous.

Nanshan village in front of us is picturesque with black tile and gray walls, surrounded by bamboo and green hills. No one can imagine that this village, hidden in the mountains, once played an important role in the Red Revolution in Hubei. Not only was the * * * Party organization in Daye the earliest, but the 12th Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army was also born here. Peng, Xu and other revolutionaries of the older generation once lived and fought here, while Ma Long and Rao also made their mark in Nanshan Village.

With the passage of time, that eventful time has become a historical memory. In recent years, Nanshan Village, which once occupied a corner, has undergone earth-shaking changes. A spacious and flat "red tourist road" winds forward, which has effectively promoted the warming of local ecological and red cultural tourism and become a key red tourist destination in daye city.

From June, 5438 to October, 2020 10, Nanshan Village was designated by the Central Organization Department and the Ministry of Finance as a "pilot project for the revitalization and construction of red rural organizations" and given corresponding policy support.

"Our village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and I believe it will definitely become a positive case of national rural revitalization." Zheng Changbing, secretary of the Party branch of Nanshan Village, Yinzu Town, daye city, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn).

The Great Revolution and the Small Family

Starting from daye city, across the valleys and across Nanfeng Port, there is a tall mountain in front of us, commonly known as Nanshantou.

Why can it become a red revolutionary base area, thus being called "Xiaojinggang"? The key is the special geographical location.

Nanshan Village is located in the remnant vein of Mufu Mountain, connected with the tail end of Luoxiao Mountain in Jiangxi (the middle part of Luoxiao Mountain in Jinggangshan), connected with Yangxin in the east, connected with the mountain in the south, adjacent to Xianning in the west and separated from Dabie Mountain in the north. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it can hold the throat of the Yangtze River waterway leading to Wuhan. Therefore, it has become a strategic place for the revolutionary struggle in southeastern Hubei and an important part of the revolutionary base in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, so it is called "Xiaojinggang".

According to Huangshi Daily, in May 1928, Hubei appointed Wu Zhimin as the (new) special commissioner in Daye area. At that time, all districts in Yangxin County resumed the party's grass-roots organizations and established three district committees, namely Jinhai, Longshan and Fushou. The revolutionary situation in Daye County is also developing, and there are 60 people in party member.

1in August, 928, the Daye branch was abolished, and the MCC county Committee was established, with four branch committees *** 1 1, with nearly 100 people in party member. The county party committee organ is located in Nanshantou, which is the first leading organization of the county party committee established in Daye County.

Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee in Daye County, the first revolutionary regime in Daye County, the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Committee of Daye County, was formally established in Gong Jin Temple in Nanshan Head. At the same time, the Fifth District Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Committee was established. Since then, the revolutionary base area centered on Nanshantou has been formally established.

With the continuous development of the revolutionary armed forces, according to the instructions of the central authorities, the Central County Committee of Zhongyang Daye decided to absorb the local Red Guards and other armed forces on the basis of the Yangda Brigade and set up the Twelfth Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army.

This is the first revolutionary armed force of workers and peasants established in southeastern Hubei.

/kloc-0 In July, 929, the inaugural meeting was held in Maodangwan, Nanshan Head, Daye. The 12th Red Army was sent by the Central Committee to the county committee of Daye Center as the commander, and Hou Zhongying as the political commissar, led by the county committee of Daye Center.

1929 65438+February, Sanxikou, Yangxin, the 12th Red Army was formally incorporated into the third detachment of the 5th column of the 5th Red Army, with Xie Zhenya as the division leader and traveling as a party representative. Since then, the Red Twelve Army has become a part of the main Red Army.

On June 1930 and 10, according to the instructions of the Central Committee, Peng held a meeting in Mawei Village, Yinzu Town, announcing that the fifth column of the General had been expanded into the Eighth Army.

Today, Nanshan Village still retains Peng's parade ground for reviewing the Red Army.

Nanshan village, as a red fertile soil, has also emerged a large number of proletarian revolutionaries, and generals, Malone, Rao and Xu Ce in the Republic of China also embarked on the revolutionary journey from here.

"I grew up in Shanghai, but Nanshan Village is also my hometown." Rao Zhenggang, vice president of the Sixth Division (Southern Jiangsu) Branch of the Shanghai New Fourth Army Historical Research Association and son of revolutionary martyr Tan, told the newspaper.

Rao Hui Tan 19 15 was born in Nanshan Village in March, 1928 joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants, and 1933 joined the China Production Party. After the Second Revolutionary Civil War, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he finally rose to the army.

1In the second half of 952, the Central Military Commission will soon appoint Rao as the chief of staff of the Shanghai Garrison. However, as soon as the 23rd Army of the Volunteers entered the DPRK, Zhong Guochu, the commander of the Volunteers, returned to China to discuss going to the Korean front to fight with him, and he volunteered to go to the DPRK himself. The request was approved by the Central Military Commission, and he was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the 23rd Army of Chinese people's Volunteer Army.

During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Rao Tan Hui organized many small-scale campaigns and formulated and completed large-scale campaign plans.

On March 2 1953, 1 day and night, he died heroically in Gunan Zori, Yichuan County, Tieyuan, central Korea. He was only 38 years old and became one of the three martyrs with the highest rank in the Korean battlefield.

1March, 953, the remains of Rao Martyrs were transported from North Korea to Shenyang, China, and buried in Shenyang Martyrs Cemetery to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

This is the only photo taken by revolutionary martyr Rao Tan Hui (second row from left) for his family. Rao Zheng is only 1 in the arms of his mother Yan Yang (second row, left).

"When my father left, I was only 1 year old and my mother was only 28 years old. With the help of the state, we have raised four children. " Rao Zhenggang recalled that the lack of fatherly love from childhood caused some troubles for his growth.

"I remember when I was a child, I felt a sense of loss every time I saw my father in military uniform standing next to my classmates. Without my father, I am less courageous, dare not be naughty, and have no confidence. " Rao Zhenggang said that when he was a child, he often fantasized that his father would come back one day. "Even being reprimanded by my father is good."

After Rao Tan Hui's death, his wife, Yan Yang, never remarried and maintained the livelihood of her extended family, which was difficult and not easy.

"When my father died, my mother was only 28 years old. It is inevitable to meet a suitor. The organization also introduced her to the object out of concern. However, from the day my mother and father got married, she and her father loved each other and shared life and death. Mother's love for her father has not changed at all because of her father's unfortunate death. Her love for her husband is loyal and transcends time and space. " Rao Zhenggang wrote in the book Loyal Warrior.

"After her father died, she promised her grandmother that she would never remarry and be faithful to life. Since then, my mother has closed all the windows of personal feelings and devoted all her time and energy to the daily housework of working, studying and raising children ... She worked hard, diligently managed the family, raised orphans and supported the elderly, and supported our whole family by herself. "

Rao Zhenggang believes that mothers have the traditional virtues of professional women in China.

"In the long years of half a century after my father's sacrifice, my mother moved from youth to middle-aged and elderly people with tenacious will and persistent feelings for her father until she came to the end of her life."

In the early years, my mother took Rao Zhenggang's brother and sister to Shenyang every 10 year.

"At that time, the economic conditions were poor and the traffic was inconvenient. I can only go once for a long time. " Rao Zhenggang said that when he officially worked, the economic conditions were relatively comfortable. Whenever he is in Tomb-Sweeping Day, he will visit the grave, or when he is on a business trip in the northeast, he will take time to visit his father's grave.

He often wondered what his father was like, including his revolutionary ideals and beliefs.

"Don't talk about others, even my son doesn't know much about that history." Rao Zhenggang said that from 20 12, he decided to find and restore the true father image by sorting out materials, interviewing and writing.

On one occasion, he returned to Nanshantou to worship his ancestors. His nephew gave him many letters from his father to his mother and brother, including a letter sent home by his father from the Korean battlefield. This may be the last letter his father wrote to his family.

Looking through the yellowed letters, my father Rao Hui and Tan Juanyi's powerful pen words came to the fore.

"I used to think that what was said on film and television was untrue. It was not until I read these letters from my father that I realized for the first time that their ideological realm was really selfless and everything was for the motherland. Only in this way can we understand why my father gave up life in Shanghai and chose to go to the hard Korean battlefield. " Rao Zhenggang once said in an interview with Xinmin Evening News.

At the Shanghai Book Fair in August of 20 13, the book Loyal Warrior written by Rao Zhenggang was officially published, which truly recorded the short and legendary life of the martyr father Rao.

This interview and writing seems to have completed his "dialogue" with his father, and from then on he understood his father's spiritual world of self-sacrifice and defending the country.

In recent years, Rao Zhenggang has just become a folk preacher of the Red Revolution and is often invited to tell stories about his father and the Red Revolution.

Returning home to start a business is only for the "Nanshan Dream"

There are countless stories about Rao Tan Hui in Nanshan Village.

"Many elders in Nanshan Village have participated in the revolution. My grandfather is also an old Red Army. He fought against the Kuomintang army and the Japanese before. I believe that almost every family has a revolutionary history. " Zheng Changbing said.

1929, Nanshan tou established a revolutionary base area and waged an arduous struggle with the enemy. However, it was regarded as a thorn in the side by the Kuomintang and organized armed washing of Nanshan many times.

According to local records, many settlements in Cao Jiashan, Fengjiashan, Caijialing, Li Jiabao, Chenjia, Sigudang and Shangwutang, where Nanshan Village is located, were attacked and attacked by the enemy crazily. Almost all the houses were burned, all the villagers were killed, and even the once prosperous settlements became "uninhabited villages", which made great sacrifices for the China revolution.

This is a painful past that all villagers can't forget. The ruins that are now marked as "uninhabited villages" are only piles of ruins, which is embarrassing.

History is like smoke. Nowadays, the site of "no man's land", Red Army post, trench, Red Army cave, parade ground, execution ground, Red Army Road, ancient houses, former headquarters and martyrs' tomb at Nanshan Head have all witnessed the revolution in Nanshan Village.

In the 1990s, the local government established the Nanshan Revolutionary Memorial Hall in Daye, next to the Gong Jin Temple in Nanshan Head. The memorial hall consists of a general statue, a general pavilion, a monument and an exhibition hall. The solemn statue of the general and the towering monument standing among the mountains are like a heroic history of Nanshan Village.

"Numerous revolutionary ancestors and martyrs in Nanshantou have made great contributions to the construction of new China. How to inherit the red spirit, build the old areas well, and let the people in the old areas get rid of poverty as soon as possible has become the top priority of previous party committees and governments. " Ke Hongyun, Party Secretary of Yinzu Town, daye city, told the newspaper.

Nanshan village was once a famous poverty-stricken village because of its remote location, long mountain and road, blocked information and difficult natural conditions. It is a difficult problem to get rid of poverty.

"We used to be difficult to walk in Nanshan Village, and it was difficult to drink water, go to school and see a doctor. There is an old saying in the local area that some women don't marry Nanshantou, which shows the difficult economic conditions at that time. " Rao Huikai, former Party branch secretary of Nanshan Village, Yinzu Town, daye city, recalled.

"In the past, there was no way out in my hometown, so I had to work in the coastal areas to earn money." Zheng Changbing recalled that he only studied for one year and has been studying under city street lamps since then.

Zheng Changbing is an outstanding entrepreneur who went out from Nanshan Village. He once worked in a food factory, worked as a cleaner, swept public toilets and drove a taxi.

When he was a taxi driver, he got money for his excellent work performance many times, and was also awarded honors by organizations at all levels-"outstanding advanced individual", "model worker" and "civilized driver"; In 20 12, he was also named "Top Ten People who Moved Daye" and became a famous local figure.

In 20 14, Zheng Changbing led a group of fellow villagers south to Guangdong, contracted ancient construction projects in Shantou, accumulated a certain wealth, and bought a house and settled in the local area.

Although he has settled in another country, he is always concerned about the development of his hometown.

"Every time I go back to the village, I feel uncomfortable when I see most lonely old people in the village. Narrow roads make drinking water difficult. Because a young man like me in Nanshan never came back after going out. If Nanshan continues to develop like this, our village will become a hopeless empty nest village, which is the most familiar and unfamiliar village for tourists outside. " Zheng Changbing said that he had a dream of revitalizing Nanshan Village a long time ago, but he always felt that his career was not particularly successful, so he had been waiting for an opportunity to return to his hometown.

"I believe that many people go out to start businesses and eventually return to their hometowns." Zheng Changbing said that his grandfather was also an old Red Army and had fought many wars with the Kuomintang, so he understood the ideals and goals of his ancestors' revolution.

"As descendants of the old revolutionary base areas, we must have the responsibility and obligation to inherit the legacy of revolutionary martyrs. Don't forget your own initiative, remember your mission, be not afraid of hardship and fatigue, not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and be brave enough to take the spirit of going forward. " Zheng Changbing said.

In recent years, he has seen that the state has increased its support for rural revitalization, and local leaders have repeatedly hoped that he can contribute to the construction of his hometown.

Zheng Changbing combined with his own economic situation, he determined that "the time has come."

In May 2020, he finally made up his mind to leave the industry in Shantou and resolutely returned to his hometown Nanshan Village to run for the party branch secretary of Nanshan Village, and was finally elected.

This is a costly decision. He has enough to eat and drink, and the company has hundreds of employees. At this time, it is really "abnormal" to give up his career and return to his hometown to become an obscure village official.

"At first my wife didn't agree with me to come back because my son was only 5 years old. After repeated persuasion, I agreed to come back together. Later, I settled my home in the city, hired a nanny to take care of the children and prepared a car. The monthly living expenses are not low. " Zheng Changbing said.

In response to his "abnormal" behavior, most of his friends and villagers also expressed their incomprehension at first. Everyone has a similar question-"Did you leave a good career outside and run back to indulge in officialdom? Nanshan is developing a project now. Do you want to take this opportunity to get something? "

"I have never had any official addiction, and I have never thought about being an official, and I don't want anything. I want to get some benefits from where or who, but who believes it? " Zheng Changbing said.

He finally gave a relatively reasonable explanation.

"Everyone has dreams and selfishness, but my dream is selfish because I have a dream from caution, a Nanshan dream and a Nanshan dream of rural revitalization."

Create "the first village of red cultural tourism"

How to make full use of the red tourism in Nanshan Village and realize the rural revitalization, the local government has already started to act.

According to the report of Huangshi Daily (20 16), in order to speed up the pace of poverty alleviation in the old areas, Huangshi and Daye, on the basis of enhancing the endogenous motivation of Nanshan development, on the basis of environmental improvement, on the basis of scenic spots, focusing on the development of red tourism, concentrate on solving the outstanding difficulties faced by Nanshan development, and strive to build Nanshan Village into "the first village of red cultural tourism in Hubei" within five years.

This is a huge construction plan. According to the three-year plan and five-year plan of tourism development for Nanshan Village formulated by daye city Tourism Master Plan, many constructions have started. For example, according to the tourist highway standard, the new national highway 3 16 will be built to connect with Nanshan Village. Rebuild Nanshan village Committee, build tourist reception center, a number of star-rated farmhouses and red manor nearby; Repair the former residences of General Peng, General Xie Zhenya, General He Changgong, Nanshantou Pistol Team and General Rao, and repair the dilapidated old site of the Red Twelve Army, trenches, posts and other historical relics; Expand the Peng parade ground as a key place for the city's "Public Sacrifice Day" activities; Peng Primary School was transformed into a branch school of the Party School of Daye Municipal Committee (Municipal Administration College) to build a red cultural base; Introduce high value-added characteristic planting, forestry and fruit industry, and build four bases of bamboo, camellia oleifera, miscellaneous fruit and health care.

In order to build Nanshan Village into the "first village of red tourism", daye city Municipal Committee has also set up a leading group for poverty alleviation and development of Nanshan Village through red tourism, Huangshi Municipal Committee has also decided to include Nanshan Village in the poverty-stricken village with municipal-level filing, and sent several departments of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to form a resident task force to jointly promote the construction of Nanshan Village.

"Daye is just a county-level city, and there are not many funds that can be mobilized to develop tourism. However, in order to develop red tourism in Nanshan village, the municipal party Committee and municipal government attach great importance to it. For places like Nanshan Village where red tourism is so rich, we have invested special funds and actively sought corresponding funds from relevant national and provincial departments to repair and build red tourism resources, including the renovation of surrounding houses. " Lu, deputy director of daye city Cultural Tourism Bureau, told the reporter.

Huangshi and Daye governments put the development of red tourism in Nanshan village in an important position, which further stimulated the local endogenous power.

"The primary task of the rural revitalization of Nanshan Village is to develop red tourism. We started to hire experts and scholars to go to Nanshan Village for in-depth research and sort out the red history and stories of that year. Secondly, it is very important to win the support of higher authorities and change local infrastructure, such as road construction, house repair and drinking water projects. " Ke Hongyun said.

How to tell the red story of Nanshan Village?

At present, Daye is actively preparing to make a red war movie-"Learning from South Hill". This film is jointly produced by two cultural enterprises in Hubei and Jiangsu. It takes the "Daye Military Storm" in June 1929 as the story theme, and tells the heroic deeds left by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries in Nanshantou.

In addition to the guidance of red culture, how to complete infrastructure construction, attract investment and develop local industries is also the key.

After Zheng Changbing was elected secretary of the Party branch of Nanshan Village, his goal was clear-to lead the whole village to build roads, find water sources and develop red tourism.

The first task before him is to solve the problem of drinking water. Because Nanshan village is relatively remote, tap water can't be delivered, and the villagers drink all the water from the reservoir. Once the weather is dry, villagers can only rely on the village Committee to find ways to get water.

After he took office for more than two months, the persistent high temperature in the local area caused a serious water shortage in the village. He saw that the reservoir had dried up and it was difficult to guarantee the villagers' basic living water. Extremely anxious, I can only buy mineral water from my own pocket and send it to every household by the village Committee cadres.

The villagers are very moved by this move, but they think that water supply is not a long-term solution. If we want to fundamentally solve the drinking water problem, we must find a new water source.

After hearing this, Zheng Changbing asked the villagers where there were ancient wells, and reported to his superiors at the same time, and invited the technical exploration team of Hubei Geological Bureau to help find water sources. After professional exploration, they found many water sources in Nanshan Village, including ancient wells and new water sources hidden in deep mountains and forests.

In order to facilitate water supply, Zheng Changbing also invested more than 80,000 yuan to build a mountain road and a water tower leading to the water source, which alleviated the water supply problem to some extent.

In the process of improving the infrastructure of Nanshan Village, Zheng Changbing often needs to pay for it himself.

"Since 20 18, I have invested1600,000 yuan in infrastructure in the village." Zheng Changbing said that it will take three to five years to turn Nanshan Village into a 4A-level scenic spot with red tourism as the mainstay, comprehensively promote the development of red tourism and green industry in Nanshan, and strive to build an eco-industrial development base with the characteristics of Nanshan Village.

"I will definitely work towards this goal. I believe that after three or five years, Nanshan Village will definitely undergo great changes. " Zheng Changbing said.
