There is a northern Qingshan Mountain in Chengbu Miao Autonomous County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, and the mountains and streams converge into Zhaoshui; there is a river in Yuechengling, Guangxi Resources County, called the Fuyi River; the Zhaoshui and Fuyi Rivers merge into the Zi river at the mouth of the Shuangjiang River in Shaoyang County, Hunan Province, and then go all the way north, through Shaoyang City, Lengshui River, and Xinhua County, and continue north, and suddenly go west in a place called Baixi Town in Xinhua County, and then go north and east, through Yiyang into Dongting.
After turning west from Shaoyang ninety degrees, passing through Xinhua Baixi Town to Anhua Pingkou Town, the waters are infiltrated with a huge "dragon-shaped" symbol in the midst of lofty mountains, and from the map, the Zijiang River here looks like a giant dragon with teeth and claws! Now, this water (land) area has been positioned as Longwan National Wetland Park, and construction work is in full swing.
The longtou part is the junction of Xinhua County of Loudi City and Anhua County of Yiyang City, and the three towns of Pingkou Town of Anhua County, Langtang Town of Xinhua County, and Ronghua Township live by the water, across the river, and the people in all directions are brilliant, and the talents are born...
Here came a major representative of the Qing Dynasty Jingshi Sect, the first person of the Huxiang Jingshi Sect, and a Daoguang heavy minister- Tao Shu.
There was a Chinese proletarian revolutionary, educator, translator, writer, and important representative figure of the new cultural movement, Cheng Fangwu.
There is also a founder of the Huaxing Association, a member of the China League Association, a modern Chinese democratic revolutionary, and a Chinese warrior- Chen Tianhua.
This time we started from Yueyang, drove directly to Xinhua Langtang Town under the highway, through Anhua County Pingkou Town across the Zijiang Bridge, turn right, along a road built along the banks of the Zijiang River, driving for about 40 minutes (perhaps remember not very accurate), to a place, the intersection stands a archway, written "Chen Tianhua's hometown", I think Chen Tianhua's former residence should not be far away, just find a place to park the car, and start walking to ask.
At the beginning, a fashionable village woman who was curious about my camera equipment and took the initiative to come up with me told me that Chen Tianhua's hometown was the place where we stood, but there was no former residence, ancestral home, memorial hall or any other building, nothing. Later, I was not dead hearted, and went to the village to inquire about the older man, and finally got some substantive information.
Chen Tianhua's former residence is indeed gone, his family's old house has long been dilapidated, the old house foundation is still there, but now it has also been flooded, and it can only be seen every year during the dry season.
Listening to the old man, Chen Tianhua was an orphan and had been living in the home of his private school teacher "Yunhuan Gong", and at that time, Yunhuan Gong's family was well-off and he was willing to accept such a high foot as Chen Tianhua. Chen Tianhua is informal, living in the teacher's house for many years, that is, he does not feel embarrassed or thank you, perhaps the so-called great grace does not say thank you; he does not smile, usually in addition to herding cattle, is to read books.
After Chen Tianhua left his hometown, he entered Zijiang Academy, Xinhua Shixuetang, Yuelu Academy, and Qiushi Academy to study, and then went to the Provincial City Normal Hall to study, and obtained official funds at the Normal School to study at the Normal School of Hongwen College in Tokyo, Japan. During his studies in the provincial capital, a wealthy merchant admired his talents and personality, and wanted to give his daughter Xu to him, Chen Tianhua imitated The Han Shi Huo went ill and "the Xiongnu are not destroyed, how to be home", politely refused: "The country is uneasy, I will not marry", until he committed suicide in the sea and did not marry for the rest of his life.
Later things everyone knows, Chen Tianhua did all the major things that inscribed the annals of history: forming the Huaxing Association, joining the Alliance Association, writing "Turning Back" and "Alarm Clock"... On December 8, 1905, he committed suicide in the sea of Omori Bay, Tokyo, Japan.
Since he walked out of his mentor's house, Chen Tianhua had rarely returned. Only once, probably because he and Huang Xing organized the Huaxing Association to fail, they returned to Enshi's house overnight, slept with Enshi, gave Enshi a pair of sunglasses, a foreign umbrella, and several silver dollars, and left before dawn. Who would have thought that this distinction would become an eternal trick...
After listening to the old man's story, my heart was extremely heavy - Chen Tianhua, the hero I have been looking up to since I understood things, the giant-like Chinese warrior, could not find any traces of bricks and tiles in his hometown! Is history merciless? Or worldly indifference?!
However, the Chinese nation has long since awakened, the motherland has become strong, and the predecessors who have struggled for it all their lives can rest in peace. Mr. Chen Tianhua, if you have knowledge under the spring, may the heroic soul have a soul, the soul returns, the motherland is your homeland, and there are your former residences everywhere in the land of Shenzhou.
