Chapter 16 conclusion

This year, with the sound of liberation artillery, a total of 60,000 people from Qingdao went to Taiwan. This trip lasted for decades, and some died in other places just like this. Hometown is an unforgettable love song. She contains deep love in the world. No matter the hometown is a metropolis or a remote village, the life spent in the hometown will leave an indelible imprint on the bottom of my heart.The longer you leave your hometown, the more clearly the family affection and style of your hometown will appear in front of your eyes and echo in your heart. In the environment of struggle at that time, no one gave bonuses to any of them, let alone assessing professional titles.They carried out the revolution with their heads pinned to their trouser belts, ready to shed blood and go to jail to lose their heads at any time, but no one complained or complained.

This is the revolutionary demeanor of our ancestors. This is the strength of personality of a revolutionary. In a blink of an eye, fifty years have passed. Waves, sail shadows, sandy beaches, sun umbrellas, jazz, disco, colorful swimsuits, champagne frothy ladies. Under the huge sun umbrellas, a series of cheerful and energetic melodies burst out from the tape recorder. With whirling spins, frenzied rhythms, quick twists of hips and shoulders, guys and dolls dance wildly. Pairs of bare feet kissed the surging tide. The waves rushed up, licked the sand, filled up the clear footprints that had just been stepped on, and then receded, going back and forth again and again, without feeling tired.

Wow - wow - The peddler is yelling—kebabs, authentic Xinjiang-style kebabs, oily when you bite into it. Just opened a bottle of Tsingtao beer, spraying white foam. In the summer of 1998, when people strolled along the Qianhai coast of Qingdao, they could not find any trace of the old Qingdao. Qingdao has already changed the world. The men and women in the beach are lying on the beach after taking enough sea baths, like mermaids, pillows on the warm sand, admiring the proud sun hanging high in the sky. I have talked to many people and asked about their beliefs, career pursuits and nostalgia for the past. Most of them, especially young people, know about atmospheric physics, fluid mechanics, the universe, celestial bodies, black holes, and nebulae.Know the directions of light and the dimensions of space.I also know about atomic fission, Coulomb electric field and elementary particles, I know about Sartre, Camus, Freud... But when asked about the year and day when Qingdao was liberated, the eloquent young man heard After my questioning, he suddenly seemed to close the floodgate of his thinking, and looked at me with a confused look on his face.

There are very few young people who can answer that Qingdao was liberated in 1949, and words such as "probably" or "maybe" should be added in front of the answer. As for June 2, the day when Qingdao was liberated, there are very few young people who can give a definite answer. Then, names such as Ren Daozhi, Yu Shuming, and Qin Dafeng are even more unfamiliar to the new generation. Car flow, bicycle flow, people flow, life flow, life flow. A question to be raised here is: Should we forget the predecessors who shed their blood for us?If not for their struggle back then, would we have the happiness we have today?

This seems to be a very simple and not difficult question to answer, but has anyone faced it with deep reflection? In the starry sky is another distant but real place. In that world full of mysteries, there are large and small constellations that mark the orbit of the earth in space, brilliant nebula-shaped galaxies, developing stars, meteors that draw an arc and disappear with a tail, and of course there are A black hole, a world extending to infinity. Human beings are the same as nature, everyone is like a star, revolving along its own orbit.My troubles and thoughts are the same as this sea, which has both the turbidity of the ancient times and the clarity reflected by the changes of the years.In the depths of this wave there is a restless spirit, and I want to capture it and plant it entirely in my works.

Silk skirts are popular this year. Thin as cicada's wings, colorful, countless styles, novel, beautiful and beautiful.Curly hair, shawl shoulders, ponytail style, short hair for students; men have long hair, women have flat head, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, anklets, high-heeled leather shoes with a heel as sharp as an awl or as thick as a tree stump, soft shoes, embroidered shoes, casual shoes, Chinese toilet water and foreign perfumes. Trendy, trendy, trendy... Could it be that just writing these things is marching towards modernization? The Communist Party's defeat of the Kuomintang is history, and striving for the third Kuomintang-Communist cooperation is the reality that people hope to achieve. Turning hostility into friendship does not mean forgetting the memories of history. Unity and division, justice and evil, blood and fire. It is a rare and precious wealth of our Chinese nation.Can wealth be thrown out casually like face wash?

Memories are evergreen trees that never grow old. Forgetting the past means betrayal! Write that we have approached the sea once.Qingdao, an increasingly open modern port city is rapidly rising; when standing on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean at the turn of the century, listening to the blue rhythm, looking at this century-old city that has gone through many vicissitudes, a modern big Qingdao The huge blueprint poured into our eyes like flowing water, crashing into my heart.The thoroughfare avenues, numerous buildings, ever-expanding new urban districts, better infrastructure and increasingly beautiful seaside cityscapes all show the powerful rhythm of this cross-century city moving towards the future.She is using a triumphant melody to play the whole connotation of the island city's modernization process in the past fifty years.At an unprecedented pace, she knocked on the door of the 21st century, heralding the bright future of the century-old island city in the next century.

Great Qingdao, a dream of the century that is becoming a reality. Modernization is not just an exterior, but more of a connotation. When we are building this city, we are also learning to use new concepts to manage and beautify this modern city.Behind this modernized city are increasingly "modernized" people and increasingly modernized management. In the tidal wave of the integration of Jiaozhou Bay and the Pacific Ocean, and in the fierce collision of Eastern and Western cultures, a new mode of modern city management is gradually taking shape. Through the waves of the Pacific Ocean, we can feel the strong pulse of this world.

According to a document, since the middle of the 20th century, it has been the heyday of the development of global metropolises.Among the rising large cities with a population of more than 2 million, more than half are concentrated and distributed in the Atlantic Rim region, and most of them are economically developed cities with fairly advanced urban infrastructure. In the Pacific Rim economic belt, such cities have also become There are quite a few.With a common mentality, these cities across the ocean are constantly strengthening their own modernization functions and strengthening their competitiveness.

Faced with this challenge, this century-old city began to seek a new starting point for the construction and development of a modern city while repairing its old defects and perfecting its carrier functions. In 1992, with the new round of reform and opening-up in the Republic, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government resolutely made a "shocking" decision at home and abroad: give up the prime location in the city center and build a new political, commercial, cultural, tourism and financial center in the east. The central urban area realizes the strategic transfer of the city center, and takes the construction of a new urban area as a new starting point for the modernization of the island city.

The domestic and foreign media paid extraordinary attention to this news, and more than a dozen large and medium-sized cities, such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, joined the ranks of "selling official residences" and developing opportunities. It is the first of its kind, and no one dares to compare with it. This is a kind of awakening after the renewal of concepts, and a new life after a century of vicissitudes. From a "modern city" to a "modern international city", from a small Qingdao with "red tiles and green trees" to a big Qingdao facing the world, the evolution of this concept has deduced a new vision. It is under this concept that the latest blueprint for an internationalized Greater Qingdao facing the 21st century - a new round of urban master planning was officially born: a center, a city ring, and a satellite city group are the overall planning of Greater Qingdao. The structure has formed a Greater Qingdao pattern with the old urban area, Laoshan District, and Huangdao District as the central urban area, the suburban towns around Jiaozhou Bay as the belt area, and the outer suburban satellite urban agglomeration as the extension area.In the central urban area, from the original South Group, Middle Group, and North Group, the newly added East Group and the West Group on the west bank of Jiaozhou Bay form a large "pin" structure across Jiaozhou Bay. The history of long and narrow development came to an end.Since then, the development idea of ​​"one park, three districts and three lines" has been like a giant pen, outlining a bright future for Qingdao. The rise of the east is by no means just an expansion of territory, it expands a mind, an unprecedented open space. Jiaozhou Bay, the ebb and flow of Jiaozhou Bay, the ever-growing Jiaozhou Bay, and the Jiaozhou Bay embracing the future. Facing the slowly opening door of the new century and the surging tide of reform and opening up, thousands of waves in Jiaozhou Bay have a common belief: The 21st century is the century of the rise of Greater Qingdao. Great Qingdao, knocking on the door of the new century. Seagulls all over the sky, like a beautiful dream, jumping and flashing vividly on the sea surface... A group of young soldiers walked in front of me. Soldiers in peacetime are still a symbol of steel. The young soldier has a dream of defending the Tuwei country. Without the bloody sacrifices of the predecessors, there would certainly be no modern international city on the banks of Jiaozhou Bay today. History should remember this date. On May 3, 1949, the Qing (Island) Ji (Mo) Battle to recover Qingdao broke out on the shores of Jiaozhou Bay in northern China. The military defense engineering map of Qingdao City's outskirts played a very important role in this battle. From the very beginning of the battle, the enemy's outskirts of fortifications were destroyed by earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, mountain collapses, avalanches, rivers and lakes. Scenes. That scene was brutal and wonderful. But Qingdao's defenders still don't know why the fortifications are so clearly and accurately grasped by the communist army? Why?It's a mystery and it's not a mystery. Time flies, personnel vicissitudes.Only a nostalgia for hometown cannot be erased, even a local accent, a poll, like the east wind beating the sails, can arouse the thoughts of foreigners overseas.Some things that are very ordinary and trivial in the eyes of others have special meaning in the mind of wanderers, even flying sand, walking stones, small bridges, running water... Once implanted in Liren's dreams and poems, they will also It will show splendor and splendor, full of strong local flavor and human touch.A well in the hometown fell into the pen of the Taiwanese poet Li Peihui, which actually affected the nostalgia of the wanderer in this way:
Memory is the leak of history, it is deep and leads to feelings; and feelings are thousands of doors, and only by opening them can we trace the past and inspire the future. A Taiwan Strait cuts off the family ties, and we face each other across the sea, looking forward to the end of the year, when will the clouds return?When people reach old age, there are many sighs of falling leaves returning to their roots. These words are like weeping like blood, they are cries of pain after stagnation. I have read the song "Nostalgia" by Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong more than once:
This constant nostalgia weighs heavily on the hearts of our nation. Hong Kong has returned, Macau has also returned, but what about Taiwan?How long will Taiwan have to wait? The general trend of the world, the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be united.This is of course a historical law.Five thousand years of peace are all because of "cooperation", and five thousand years of disputes are all for "cooperation". June 2, 1998 was the forty-ninth anniversary of the liberation of Qingdao. On this memorable day, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier built by the 99 unknown martyrs who died for the liberation of Qingdao by the Qingdao Municipal People's Government was completed in the Cemetery of Revolutionary Martyrs in Laoshan District. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is pyramid-shaped and built with Laoshan red granite, which symbolizes the eternal solidity of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, as firm as a rock.There are three white marble carvings in front of the tomb, the two sides of which are in the shape of wreaths, engraved with evergreen pines and cypresses and city flowers, and a plant of evergreen in the center, implying that the spirit of martyrs will last forever.Between the two wreaths, an open book sculpture is placed on a heart-shaped base, implying that the achievements of the martyrs will be recorded in the annals of history forever.Resting here are the spirits of the ninety-nine unknown martyrs from the former Qingdao Fifth Cemetery and the former Laoshan District Cemetery. Among the ninety-nine unknown martyrs, there is another martyr who left a legendary story that has been passed down to this day. It was in the early morning of June 2, 1949, the day when Qingdao was liberated. A young scout of the People's Liberation Army lost contact with the troops after chasing and fleeing the enemy after occupying Shazikou. Just as he was looking for his own troops, the Kuomintang bandit troops entrenched on Fushan began to move northeastward before fleeing. He fired randomly, and the shells landed more than ten meters behind the young scout. At that time, the soldier was on the northern slope of Wushan Mountain. One meter in front of him was a very high graben. You can escape completely. But at this moment, not far away in the other direction, was walking a young woman who seemed to be going back to her natal home. The young woman was frightened by the sudden shelling and stayed there at a loss. The soldier didn't hesitate He rushed forward and blocked the young woman under his body, but because of the frenzied bombardment of the enemy, both of them fell into a pool of blood. The folks in Wushan Village saw this tragic scene clearly. After the shelling, the villagers of Wushan Village rushed over with tears in their eyes. The villagers did not find any relics that could identify the young soldier. The soldier left so suddenly and in a hurry that he didn't even have time to leave his name behind. .The simple and kind Wushan villagers buried the martyr's body with tears in the place where the martyr died, and named the martyr Wang Jiawen according to the Wushan people's generation number at that time.Wang, representing Wushan people, Wushan villagers take the surname of Wang as the main body;Its meaning is the good son of the Wushan people.They erected a monument in front of the martyr's tomb - "Tomb of the Martyr Wang Jiawen", so that people will always remember this young soldier who died heroically for the cause of people's liberation and the liberation of Qingdao. It is said that during the Ching Ming Festival in 1950, villagers in Wushan who were plowing in the spring found an old lady with a small foot and a young woman who went to the tomb of "Wang Jiawen" to sweep the tomb. People analyzed that they might be the old mother and beloved wife of the martyr.The couple lit incense, burned paper, and cried bitterly in front of the tomb.The elders of Wushan who were present asked where the two came from, and the answer was that they came all the way from the Rongcheng countryside. The villagers invited the two to visit Wushan, but the couple declined and left silently. This is the mind of a mother, and this is the mind of a wife.Since my son, since my husband, is recognized as a son by the people of Wushan, then let him stay in Wushan, stay in Qingdao.Facing such a great mother, facing such a great wife, and facing this piece of land soaked in the blood of the martyrs, we descendants should all bow down and bow deeply. The martyrs did not leave us names, nor did the martyrs' mothers and wives leave us the names of the martyrs, but the immortal spirit of the martyrs will always inspire us to move forward bravely. Min Xiangchao, deputy mayor of Qingdao, said at the opening ceremony: "We are holding the inauguration ceremony of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, not only for the ninety-nine unknown martyrs, but also to deeply remember and commemorate the six hundred who died for the liberation of Qingdao. Twelve martyrs, and more than 18,000 revolutionary martyrs who shed their blood for the liberation and construction of Qingdao in the heroic struggle half a century ago." Rest in peace, martyrs who died heroically for the liberation of Qingdao, the people of Qingdao have not and will never forget you. Your dedication will accompany the reform ship of our cause, and together with the people of Qingdao, we will welcome the vast tide of modernization and the new dawn of the 21st century. Take off, Qingdao!
