Chapter 24 Section 11 Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns into Sichuan

Then, the situation in Guangxi became tense, and my family went to Sichuan along the Sichuan-Guizhou Road with the school, and went to Chongqing, the capital of the Anti-Japanese War. Families take military vehicles, while students take vehicles with vehicles, and walk without vehicles on foot.From Guilin to Guizhou, and then from Diaoming with nine turns and eighteen turns to Sichuan, I really saw the steep mountains and the hardships of people climbing over with humble feet. General Sun Yuanliang, a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, the commander of the regular army during the Northern Expedition and the Anti-Japanese War, and the commander of the Corps, spent half his life fighting in the south and north.In an interview with Hu Zhiwei before his death, he recalled the scene of fleeing during the Anti-Japanese War, and described and reviewed the big scenes:

We (at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War) carried out the scorched-earth war of resistance and encouraged retreat and evacuation. However, we did not properly resettle the loyal compatriots, and did not provide a little help to the displaced refugees. We let them run around and fend for themselves. This may be our reason Let’s start losing the hearts of the people in the mainland! When I marched back from Hanzhong to aid Guizhou, I found that the mountains and plains were full of refugees, railway and highway employees and their families, exiled students and teachers, industrial and mining workers and their families, nearly a million military family members, and scattered people. The stragglers and passionate youths who did not want to be slaves, men, women, old and young gathered together into a turbulent flow of people. As the occupied area expanded, more and more people were wrapped up.They have no lethality against the enemy army, but they are in the way of their own army.The tail of this torrent fell in front of the enemy army, but its vanguard always blocked the advance of the national army.All kinds of vehicles, ranging from trolleys to cars, were jammed on the road, and the farmland on both sides of the road was also crowded with people, trampling down to nothing and turning it into mud.Either the vehicle broke down, or it was blocked by a broken car and could not move.Wherever the refugee army went, the food ran out immediately, and the local people also joined the ranks of fleeing in panic.It was cold at night, and people lit fires to keep warm. The groans of the elderly, the sick, and children were mixed with wildfires, and there were swollen and fallen corpses everywhere along the way. There was no complete house in the distance. The feeling of being born in this world can't help but fall into a state of grief and consternation, and then the energy is depressed. The blow to the morale of the army cannot be underestimated.

It has been a whole year since I left Nanjing to go to Jingning Temple in Ziliujing, Sichuan.There are unspeakable sufferings in wandering and wandering, but no matter what time, indoors and outdoors, the place where dozens of people can accommodate is the place where the teacher teaches.The school always travels with sufficient textbooks, instruments and basic equipment for each subject. Today, I think back on the way those teachers attended classes at any time, and I deeply feel the hope and confidence of the Chinese intellectuals they represent.They truly believe that "Although Chu has three households, Chu must die in Qin Dynasty": in addition to courses in various subjects, they also teach dedication and love, especially self-esteem and self-confidence.

After Zhongshan High School came to Sichuan, the proportion of graduates taking examinations and university admissions was among the top ten in the country (since Hankou has recruited hundreds of middle school students from Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan).Those who enter the workplace are mostly in the military, political and cultural circles. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, most of the students returned to their homes where they had been isolated for ten years. Confidence and education, but they never forgot that period of suffering in Sun Yat-Sen Middle School. In the 1990s, Sun Yat-Sen Middle School was re-established in Shenyang. The main force came from the alumni who returned from exile: the governor of Jilin, the secretary of Liaoning Province, and the mayor of Shenyang. During the long journey, I sang with tears "My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast...

In 1984, Taiwan Sun Yat-Sen Alumni Association published a "National Northeast Sun Yat-Sen Middle School Golden Jubilee Commemorative Collection", which was written by Li Xingtang, then the principal of the police school, Liu Shaotang, the founder of "Biographical Literature", Zhang Linde, the general manager of China Airlines, and Xie The editorial committee composed of Zhong Lian, Chen Mingren, Zhan Shiguang, Ling Guangwu, Long Shiguang, Shi Shengjiu, Li Guangban, Zhao Shumin and other friends compiled a collection of manuscripts: nearly 60 articles in the book, full of blood and tears, Anyone who reads it will be moved.

Among them, Zheng Peigao, detailing the ten years of exile and exile, began: "The founding of our country's Northeast Zhongshan Middle School was born in adversity; Those who make us happy? Those who break through difficulties, taste all the bitterness, run around and call out, abandoning personal joy, so as to promote the birth of our school. As far as the author knows, most of them have returned to Daoshan. The great ideals they embrace, As far as today is concerned, it has not been fully realized. Because I know that there must be deep hatred in the spirit of the sky! Before the school was moved from Beiping to the south, the middle and high school students in Pingjin had concentrated military training for less than a month. Japan proposed that our Central Army retreat to the south of the Yellow River and stop all activities. Anti-Japanese activities, student training should be stopped immediately and other unreasonable demands. After the flag was raised in the early morning of the second day, General Guan Linzheng (the commander of the 29th Army, who was martyred in the war of resistance) stepped on the flag-raising platform, announcing the dissolution of the training with tears in his eyes, and said : "Our country is so far, what kind of country is it? If we don't repay our hatred, can we be regarded as a manly man?Can you be called the sons and daughters of the Chinese people and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor?" At the moment, the crowd was excited, and Ju Dong cried bitterly, wishing to destroy the imperial food immediately, even though his body was smashed to pieces without regret... After the dissolution, where the hot tears were dripping on the ground, the spots were clearly visible in rows and rows... ...The Northeast fell, and many teachers and students were captured and killed, and even those who managed to escape to Taiwan had a chance of dying a hundred times. Try to remember the past, and be able to feel the shock of heaven and earth forever?" At the end of the article , Zheng Peigao noted: "The draft was completed on the eve of the 52nd anniversary of the September 18th Incident, and when I wrote it, it seemed as if the Japanese artillery fire was flying through the sky, and the Peking Camp was in flames!"

In addition, whenever someone mentions Sun Yat-Sen Middle School, my most vivid impression is that on that long escape road, my father saw that we were all on the road safely, so he hurried to the next stop to contact the garrison and give us a walk. The situation of the coming students arranging food and lodging places. Stop after stop, he kept passing my sick mother and baby sister.At that time, I had already "upgraded" to sit on the luggage cart, and I was always careful not to be thrown off by the bumps, and my brother was in the walking team.We sometimes see our father from a distance on the military vehicle rushing to the next stop, he doesn’t seem to notice us, at that time in his heart, the nearly thousand students are all his children and must be taken to safety Yes, there is hope somewhere lost.
