Chapter 85 Memories of "Seven Seven"

Memories of "Seven Seven" At the end of June 1937, my wife Wu Wenzao and I returned home via Siberia after traveling around Europe and America for a year. A week later, the "July 7th Incident" broke out!In the "Molu Test Pen" written in Chenggong, Yunnan in the early 1940s, there is such a description: "Peking is dead, my beloved Peiping, after not struggling or resisting, continued to groan a few times, and died lazily! "On the morning of July 28th, sixteen Japanese planes flew low and leisurely in the early morning light and dropped thirty-two bombs, only destroying an empty camp in Xiyuan. But a loud noise shook the Everything changed. Several policemen were hacked to death in Haidian, and the next day the police all changed to black uniforms, because those who wore yellow uniforms were regarded as skirmishers and guerrillas, and some were hacked to death and stabbed to death. Danger.

"The sound of artillery and gunfire in the four fields, from numerous to rare, from near to far, the sound is dead! "All kinds of colorful flags were hoisted high: the Japanese flag, the Italian flag, the American flag, the British flag, the yellow A-flag, and above the Xizhimen Building, Japanese soldiers in dark yellow military uniforms were sitting on the battlements, leaning on their guns, Grinning thick lips, showing crooked teeth, looking down and laughing maniacally. "The streets were deathly silent, only ragged people in twos and threes, looking up and reading the announcement of Commander Xiangyue Entering the City.

"Tiananmen Square under the clear sky has seen thousands of young people waving flags and shouting 'Down with Japanese imperialism', but now they are only watching the ranks of scattered primary and middle school students calmly. They dragged the sun flag and the five-color flag, With red eyes and lowered heads, they came to "celebrate" the fall of Baoding and the fall of Nanjing...the Japanese machine gun team closely followed and monitored them. "Japanese tour groups are shipped in from Kobe and Yokohama one by one. Big cars with banners flew away in a rampage on Jingshan Road and East Chang'an Avenue.Both Dongxing Building and Donglaishun have Japanese signboards, welcoming visitors from afar.

"In the Forbidden City, Beihai, and the Summer Palace, you can't see a Chinese wearing a long coat or a suit. You can only hear the sound of military boots and wooden shoes. The Chinese wearing a long coat and a suit are so ashamed to hide and hate to slip away. up. "The market suddenly became prosperous, especially Mishi Street and Wangfujing Street. Wooden doors were installed on the storefronts, cloth curtains were hung up, and the music of 'AIA' was broadcast on the radio. "I think of Tokyo and Kobe, I think of Dalian and Shenyang... Beijing also died after Dalian and Shenyang, a city as beautiful and majestic as a goddess queen, died lazily under the ravages and insults.

"I hate this beautiful and majestic skin! I go, I look back at this dignified, beautiful, staring skin, without a single bit of nostalgia. In the high mountain jungle, I looked up and saw a flying flag. I stood Under the shadow of the flag, I go, I want to go to the end of the sky, the corner of the earth, shake off the dust and hatred on my body, take a deep breath of exciting fresh air; I go again, I want to carry this banner , come to summon a star's solemn and beautiful soul to enter that beautiful and dignified body!" Of course, individuals do not have the ability to recruit the "beautiful and solemn soul of a star".It is the Communist Party of China composed of workers, peasants, intellectuals... thousands upon thousands of Chinese people. Without the Chinese Communist Party, the Japanese militarists cannot be driven away, the deep hatred of the Chinese people cannot be avenged, and a Chinese Communist Party cannot be established. People's Republic!

After writing this, I took a breath and could stop writing, but I still have more to say!After the Japanese militarists announced their unconditional surrender on August 14, 1945, I had the opportunity to go to post-war Japan in the winter of 1946. When I passed through Japan before going to Europe in 1936 The bustling street from Yokohama to Tokyo that I saw was blown into ruins! When I arrived in Tokyo, I came to see my Japanese friends. All of them were dressed in rags and looked haggard. Only then did I realize that not only Chinese, Southeast Asians, but also Japanese were suffering from the scourge of Japanese militarists!Since then I have lived in Japan for five years, and I have made friends who are intellectuals, workers, and farmers.After returning to China in 1951, I took part in the Sino-Japanese friendship work and visited Japan many times.Japan has become our friendly neighbor. At the same time, I also noticed that in the forty years after the war, Japan has made great progress!The smart and brave Japanese people have built Japan into an economic power again!

In the same forty years, due to the "ten-year catastrophe" and other reasons in China, academics have not received due attention. In terms of science and technology, we are still far behind Japan.But recently, I have been pleased to see some scientific and technological creations and inventions in newspaper reports, which is very exciting!I suddenly remembered two poems from the past: Dare to believe that the dragons will finally see their heads, but the big bird has repeatedly summoned its soul.
