Tomogawa Kosato amateur
In the difficult years of the Inner Mongolia Revolution and the period of socialist construction, the relatives of Xiaolisu in their hometown always adhered to the ancient traditional concept of blood kinship, family kinship, and hometown kinship; Adhere to the family motto concept of only seeking dedication and not returning.
In the difficult years of the White Terror in the revolutionary years, there were not only class relatives, but in a sense, there was also a vital chain of affection as a medium, that is, the "three relatives", that is, blood relatives, family relatives, and villagers.
The formation of this special force should start from the formation of the force of the times of marriage culture in a specific historical period.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even before the 50s and 60s of the last century, due to the influence of various ethnic factors in historical and cultural inheritance, the older generation in the Tumut region who held traditional concepts did not advocate intermarriage between Mongolia and Han. This "non-proposition" is, from a modern point of view, an expression of the consciousness of the feudal divide that is conservative, dissenting, and not sufficiently included in the scope of national unity. The Tumut Mongolia are formed because of this historical marriage cultural concept.
The practice of a certain period of time has proved that it is precisely in the special era of the revolution that this "non-proposition" has been used from a certain angle to objectively create "favorable factors for a reliable environment for the revolution," that is, it fully embodies the fact that blood relatives, family members, and villagers only make sacrifices and do not care about danger in the arduous years. It embodies the sacrifice of human temperament, reckless of consequences, and does not ask for anything in return.
During the arduous years of the revolutionary period in Inner Mongolia, from the perspective of family affection, ethnic affection, and hometown feelings in the hometown, it can be proved that it is full of the special importance of the "three feelings" force of sincerely supporting the revolution and not sparing the cost of one's own life.
During the White Terror and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression of the Kuomintang reactionaries, the Chinese Communists set up underground transportation stations in our hometown and identified revolutionary fortress households. Yun Ze, Kui Bi, Jia Ligen, Yongfu, Zhao Cheng, Li Sen, Li Cai, Peng Deda, Zhang Lu and other revolutionary aspirants often came and went, held meetings, and carried out underground activities. Relying on their blood, kinship, clan and village ties, the older generation set up sentry posts, hid weapons, arranged safe places for activities, and arranged food and lodging for the revolutionaries in order to ensure safety. At the end of the event, the revolutionaries evacuated safely, and the Xiaoli amateurs were deeply afraid that the Kuomintang spies and the Japanese puppet gendarmes would find clues and always inquire about outside movements. Worried and afraid, listen to the wind everywhere, and pray that the danger will be averted.
The most publicized action, that is, a major danger that worried the tribesmen about the after-effects, was the organization of the first batch of Mongolian youths who went to Yan'an to participate in the revolution on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 1939.
The action was planned by Jia Ligen and Kui Bi in Xiaoli Su many times, and Yongfu, Li Cai, Zhang Lu and other underground party members participated. In the end, 25 people were organized to go to Yan'an, together with the organizers, guides, meeting mobilizers, and clansmen who arranged food and lodging for them, and stood guard and sentry, no less than 50 or 60 people. Under the noses of the vigilante group of Chen Guoying's agents of the Central Unification in Dalisu Village, which is one mile away, this form a huge underground activity that was open in that era, inside and out.
People who go to Yan'an gather and set off in Xiaolisu. Before and after the 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, you have to eat 50 catties of millet rice and pickles for each meal; Overnight accommodation in the north and south courtyards and the Great South Courtyard clan houses.
The head of the family, the male is a mobile sentry in the village; The woman baked cakes for the revolutionaries one night and prepared dry food along the way as much as she could.
Some of the young people who rushed to Yan'an slept in a manger to guard against enemy attacks. The people of the Great Southern Courtyard are Aunt Zhang Lu's family, Zhang Lu lived in his cousin's house as a long-term worker and horseman for safety, and when feeding the horses on the night of the 14th night of the seventh lunar month, he found a sleeping individual in the manger, and walked in to take a closer look, and saw that it was a young student, and asked: "Who are you and where are you?" Answer: "Szpende." Zhang Lu's cousin Yun Cai just looked at it and said, "Why are you a boy from Bingzhou Hai Erma?" Hurry up and go home and sleep. This person is Li Wenjing, who went to Yan'an to participate in the revolution and later served as the president of the High Court of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 1939, after the first batch of 25 Tumut Mongolia youths who had gone to Yan'an left Xiaolisu, it was rumored in the villages around Xiaolisu that a large number of Communist Party members were active in Xiaolisu. Our big family, which is related by blood and kinship with Yunze and Kuibi, because of the large scale and great influence of this group of people when they set out, has caused great pressure on the living environment, psychology and personal safety of the men and women in the family, and the adult dolls.
The revolutionaries set off unharmed and unharmed, and the underground workers were still coming and going to visit relatives and friends. Revolutionaries are calm and do not need to worry about our family. The situation left for our family is that in the three compounds in the north and south, people of all sizes are afraid that the Kuomintang spies and the Japanese puppet army gendarmerie will enter the village to burn, kill and plunder. For a while, the adults hid outside the village to inquire about the movement, and did not dare to go home. Every night when the lights are dark, a group of dolls block the doors of their homes, pierce the window paper, and quietly look out of the holes and listen to the wind, afraid that someone will break into the door. In this way, revolutionaries put their lives on top of their lives to carry out the revolution, and our family members took the lives of the whole family to cover the revolutionaries and carry out the revolution, and they lived at home, living in their hometowns that would never leave their surnames, and experiencing the special taste of the living environment in which people were terrified.
The news of Xiao Lisu's communist activities made Wang Ying, the leader of the Japanese puppet army, discover and let out a message to burn Xiao Lisu. When my grandfather heard the news, he hurriedly called back his nephew Yun Yueyue, who was an officer at the Nai Zhigai Police Station, and got a batch of big tobacco and sent bribes to temporarily calm down the situation.
Although there is a militia group of the Chen Guoying family in Dalisu, because the elders of our family uphold the "harmony is precious" way of acting, the Chen family knows that the Communist Party of Xiaolisu is active, but they basically hold the mentality that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they do not make any moves. However, Jia Li led seven or eight people including Chao Luomeng, Zhao Gerui, Kang Jun, and Yun Shanxiang to our house for the second time, and when they were about to set off to cross the Yellow River, Jia Li went to Dali Su to buy medicine, and was discovered and followed by Kuomintang spies, and Jia Li immediately withdrew in the direction of Chasuqi. The rest of the people trapped in Xiaolisu, except for Zhao Gerui and Kang Jun, insisted on setting off and walked in the direction of Yan'an, and the rest of them had no choice but to return to their respective hometowns.
At that time, Xiaolisu, the village was not large, with a population of nearly 100 people, in addition to our family's large population, there was another family surnamed Yun and a family surnamed Zhang. The village feelings, the villagers gathered, and the whole village adhered to the mentality of being a good man to protect the three villages, and has always adhered to the philosophy of these people throughout the ages, maintained revolutionary activities, ventilated and reported to each other, and inquired about the trends of the outside world, which has become the norm for the villagers in the village. Because of this, the traditional humanities, history and culture of the year were firmly adhered to, and several generations of revolutionaries paid attention to the achievements of the Xiaoli amateurs in history and placed real revolutionary expectations.
In the first month of 1966, when several cousins and cousins of our family went to visit Elder Wu, Elder Wu said: Xiao Lisu has made major contributions to the history of the Inner Mongolia revolution, and you are all alive, so hurry up and write down these historical facts for future generations. Otherwise, when the old ones are gone, the future people will not even know about them.
At that time, I was studying in the soil. After the old people came back and told me about Wu Lao's thoughts, I learned with the old people about the facts and circumstances of the family's contribution to the revolution in the past, and wrote out about 20 pages of facts about the contribution of the family and hometown to the revolutionary activities in the past, and sent them to Wu Lao. Soon the Cultural Revolution began, and the letters were lost.
In the nineties of the last century, the old man Yunqing made a special trip to Tuoketuo County, and after sprinkling the ashes of the old man Kong Fei on the Yellow River on a cruise ship, he returned to the county to talk about Xiao Lisu's contribution to the revolution, and asked me to write it and leave it for future generations to understand.
In 2014, when I went to Beijing to visit the old man Buhe, Bu Lao told me and Xiumei, my sister and brother: "During the revolutionary period, the villages of Tabuzi, Xiaolisu, Beitaiji, and Jiangshi made great contributions to the revolution. You (referring to me) can write, write it out for future generations to see. Otherwise, there will not even be any records left. ”
Xiaoli Su people are honest and honest, and only do Qin sacrifice without asking for anything in return for the activities of the revolutionaries during the Inner Mongolia Revolution; During the period of socialist construction, he sympathized with the disadvantaged groups and still adhered to the concept of the right way in the world, which was good at charity.
The biggest congenital mistake regretted by Xiaoli amateurs is that they did not know how to declare as an old revolutionary base after liberation. The Tumut Banner has listed Xiaoli Su as an old revolutionary area, but Xiao Li Su people don't know and haven't reacted yet. Because they don't know what an old revolutionary area is, they don't know what it means to declare an old revolutionary area and how to declare it as an old revolutionary area, so they have no reason to enjoy any treatment in the old area. Later, I found that I had lost the opportunity to declare, and I thought of re-declaring, but due to the passage of time, the ancestors of the clan were old, and the young and strong left the land to enter the city, and the declaration procedures were cumbersome, and no one raised and asked.
After the flood disaster in 1958, Wu Lao was very concerned about the winter of Xiaoli Su people, and sent winter charcoal to the villagers.
After the liberation, the revolution was successful, and the revolutionaries who once carried out underground activities in Xiaolisu, and the aspiring young people who once gathered and set off to Yan'an to participate in the revolution in Xiaolisu, moved from the battlefield to the new jobs of socialist construction, and were still doing revolutionary work everywhere, and they were very busy, and they had no time to care about how the people in Xiaoli, the place of departure when they went to Yan'an, and they had no time to take care of the reasons for declaring the old area. The people of Xiaolisu don't know what a requirement is, and they have never made any hopes and requests to their superiors, and they silently stick to their ancestral duty of farming and collecting grain. The uniqueness of this profound expression of the relationship with the Communists is the unique and calm attitude of the amateurs of Kosato on the Tomo River.
Reminiscing about what the amateurs did in the revolutionary years, recalling how the amateurs were frightened after the revolutionaries left the amateurs, and reminiscing about the calm mentality of the amateurs who did not ask for anything in return, or even a New Year's condolences, this is the tangible embodiment of the inner essence of blood relatives, family relatives, and villagers.
In 1958, during the period of socialist construction, the first and second commune systems of the People's Commune were established, and the small and large lisu were merged into the Risu Brigade. The uncles who responded to our affairs in the village adhered to the good thoughts and sentiments of taking into account the overall situation, generously donated money, and handed over 2,200 acres of cultivated land to the brigade, which was divided equally with the farmers who had no land to plant. By the time of the communalization of the large collective system, the total amount of land distributed by the Xiaoli amateurs to households was divided from 22 to 7 or 8 percent, and the remaining 14 and 5 acres of cultivated land were taken away by the history of leveling. Victim of the Cultural Revolution, he once put forward the idea of detachment, but was blocked by the situation at that time to engage in "separatism".
From the period of the Inner Mongolia Revolution to the period of socialist construction, in addition to making various contributions, we will also reminisce about the gratuitous victimization during the Cultural Revolution, which is sweet and sour, bitter and salty, and has mixed tastes. Although he knew it, he didn't think so, and the generations insisted on carrying forward the spirit of loyalty, benevolence, righteousness and tolerance. This kind of mentality is really valuable, it can shine with the sun and the moon, and it can exist forever with the world.
Concern for the late arrival of our homeland, as an unshirkable task, fell on the shoulders of a few of us who were in the same league as the Republic.
Last century. In the nineties, when we entered the rural roads of Xiaolisu and Lisu Village from Shandai Township, it was muddy and uneven on rainy days, and it was our sixth sister Yun Xiumei who begged the relevant departments of the higher authorities to allocate some money and repair some small asphalt roads; After 2000, the small oil road from Da Li Su to Xiao Li Su was dilapidated, and it was very inconvenient for people to walk, and I found the relevant departments at the higher level to declare, and after approval, the cement road from Da Li Su Village Street and the west bridge of the village to Xiao Li Su Village was repaired and thickened, and at the same time the cement road from Xiao Li Su to Sanjianfang Village in Tuoketuo County was opened. Since then, with Xiaolisu as the transit point, it has connected another highway connecting the two main highways from Tumut Zuoqi to the east and west of Tuoketuo County, which has facilitated the production, life and travel of residents within the relevant scope of Litu and Tuoqi County in the Heihe Circle.
Also after 2000, the people of Xiaolisu and Dalisu could not pay the watering fee due to uneven farmland and non-standard channels. This situation and this scene for a village that contributed to the revolutionary period of those years made people see the "psychological stimulation", and produced unwilling passion. So I went forward with the village cadres to fight for the land consolidation project. When the project was launched, the project was accepted, and it was successfully put into use, the villagers no longer planted grain in the more than 10,000 acres of cultivated land of the Lisu Village Committee, and were unified into the "planting for raising" demonstration area by Qili, and contracted to large households to plant alfalfa and silage corn with an annual land lease of more than 700 yuan per mu. Farmers don't farm anymore, with the tide of work, young and strong families move away, go to the city to work, the village school is demolished and canceled, Weng Yu guards the home and enjoys the rent of cultivated land, every New Year's Day, standing in the streets and alleys, the head of the village looks forward to the children, children and grandchildren to return to the hometown to visit relatives safely. Spend your old age here in a quiet rural life where silence is better than sound.
It was still more than ten years ago, seeing the backward scene of the collapse of the houses in Xiaolisu Village in the old revolutionary base area, our sixth sister Yun Xiumei came forward to win the new rural construction project from Qili, which changed the living environment of the villagers. Then ten full-coverage projects were implemented, and the villagers of Lisu Village Committee all built and improved the appearance of the village to varying degrees, but the houses were left and the houses were empty.
The pace of rural system reform in the era is accelerating, and we are urgently waiting for and calling for the acceleration of the pace of rural revitalization and the early realization of the direction and goal of a fait accompli.
This is the traditional virtues of blood relatives, family relatives, and villagers, and the little Li amateur who has traveled all the way from the ancestors to the present, and there is a long way to go. The precious wealth left to future generations is still to establish the core values of the new historical period, and to make new and greater achievements on the Golden Strip of adhering to the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
