I. Opera "Zhang Jinglin"
In 2001, at the Weihai Grand Theater in Weihai, Shandong Province, an opera called "Zhang Jinglin" was quietly released, and the introduction of the opera on the poster of the grand theater read:
The story of a heroine of Rongcheng in Weihai City.
As soon as this opera was launched, it attracted the attention of the masses in Weihai, especially the people in Rongcheng County, who is Zhang Jinglin? Why Weihai, Rongcheng has such a heroine,
How come I've never heard of it? What did she do? In order to solve the doubts in the heart, people have purchased tickets to watch the show.
Some of the elderly Rongcheng people were very excited to hear the name Zhang Jinglin, and they also said that they wanted to go to see it. With the support of so many people,
The opera "Zhang Jinglin" was a great success, and in several performances, it received a cumulative number of 5w+ viewers, achieving a fairly good result, and "Zhang Jinglin" became a hot spot in the city for a while.
Along with the soaring box office of the opera, as well as people's word of mouth, Weihai residents are almost in tears after watching it, leaving a positive review for the opera. More importantly, after 58 years,
Zhang Jinglin, the name that has disappeared for half a century, finally appeared in front of the public again.
Second, the heroine Zhang Jinglin
Zhang Jinglin was born in 1926 in Rongcheng County, Weihai City, Shandong Province. As mentioned earlier, Rongcheng is a place with a very long history, but the creation of people, one
Rongcheng has always been a place that is not rich until after the reform and opening up.
Subject to the limitations of economic underdevelopment, Zhang Jinglin also has a very tragic fate. Just born less than two months,
Her father died of hunger and poverty, leaving only her mother, who had just given birth, and Zhang Jinglin, who was crying in her mother's arms.
In the 1820s, China was in an era of warlord chaos and famine, and in such an environment, it was difficult for a husbandless wife to live alone, let alone the mother of a daughter.
But Zhang Jinglin's mother still survived with difficulty, hoping that one day, the world would be too peaceful and she and her daughter could live a good life.
Poor days, let Zhang Jinglin understand the difficulty of survival, from small to large anything, she strives to be self-reliant, three years old to help the family to do farm work, five years old will cook, seven years old she can even complete a day's work of an adult woman, in the eyes of the locals, she is stronger than many male dolls, both pity her, but also like her.
When Zhang Jinglin was ten years old, she could already do all the work in the family by herself. But Zhang Jinglin's mother did not want to see her daughter think of herself in the future, she would only do farm work and stay in the village, just at this time the village built a school.
Without Zhang Jinglin's consent, he took out most of the family's savings and paid her tuition.
Although Zhang Jinglin did not understand, she finally respected her mother's choice, or that she was unwilling to go against her mother's will, just like that,
Zhang Jinglin, who has spent two-thirds of her life working with farm work, has been exposed to books, to knowledge, to a world she never fantasized about, but has always longed for.
After five years of study, Zhang Jinglin has not only made a lot of progress in knowledge, but also has a lot more understanding of the world. From the teacher's mouth, she knew that the country she lived in was called China, and there was a country in the east of China called Japan.
The occupation of northeast China by force has caused many people to leave their homes and lose their homes, and many people have lost their fathers and homes like themselves.
In this way, a patriotic seed, in the heart of this little girl, quietly planted roots and sprouted. Perhaps since then, her life seems to have been doomed, but people firmly believe that she did not regret it at that time, including in the future.
Third, the heroic soul will last forever
In 1940, a major event occurred in Zhang Jinglin's village, and a local Communist liaison office was swept up by the Japanese army. It's a place she often goes, because there will be a lot of uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters there.
Tell her about knowledge that you can't see in books, such as Marxism, such as the Chinese Communist Party.
In particular, the social structure in which everyone is equal and everyone is rich is extremely attractive in the eyes of anyone, and Zhang Jinglin is no exception. She began to fantasize that she would one day be able to fight like those uncles and aunts for the great liberation of the people and become a great communist fighter.
Finally, the opportunity came, and after the introduction of the village secretary and her self-recommendation, she was appointed by the organization as the local women's director and the regiment branch officer to help carry out the work.
In this way, Zhang Jinglin took the first step towards his ideal.
When she first took office, she showed a performance that was very inconsistent with her age, and at the age of fifteen, she matured like an adult. Organize women to carry out propaganda, to collect soles for communist fighters on the front line,
Go door to door to persuade girls to go to school. Gradually, the ten miles and eight townships knew about the 15-year-old female director.
As a result of her efforts, the local women's literacy rate has increased significantly, all kinds of propaganda work has been done in an orderly manner, and the development of the local Communist Youth League is thriving. But her behavior was also seen by Riko and hated in her heart. Under the calculations of the Japanese Kou, in one operation, she was betrayed by the traitors and captured by the Japanese army.
After three days and three nights of inhuman torture, Zhang Jinglin, who has been tortured to the point of inhumanity, still has not betrayed any news about the organization.
Hating the Japanese army's teeth, in desperation, Zhang Jinglin was sent to the executioner's knife, and on September 21, 1941, with the morning light and vitality, Zhang Jinglin, who was only fifteen years old, looked at the sea and fell under the executioner's knife.
summary:
For many people, the life of 15 years old is just a period of time in life, but for Zhang Jinglin, this is her tragic but wonderful life. The tragic fate did not crush this little girl,
And under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party, he became a glorious communist fighter.
Today, the Rongcheng County government has repaired her martyr's tomb, just next to the hill in her hometown, and the specific reasons why she was sealed in the dust for 58 years can no longer be investigated.
But whenever the sun rose on the land of Rongcheng, the sun was always the first to come to her grave, just as the glory of the Communist Party led her for the first time.
