fragrance:

The words in my heart have been accumulated for more than a month, and I can't stand it without your urging. Tell me, sister, please stop your work and spend a few minutes reading the sweet letter from your lover from afar!

Far from it, let's talk about 1944:

The three days of annual leave gave me a good chance to think. In these three days, I reviewed all the past, and at the same time, planned the future, and I felt that the past passed with it, whether it was sweet or sour, bitter or spicy; I should pay attention to the future and grasp the present, so I felt the need for "self-revolution". So I drew up the "Ten Ten Creeds for New Life" in the hope that from this year onwards, I would work harder to create a new life.

First, a new student must have a new outlook on life. The new outlook on life is lively, optimistic and sound.

Second, a new student must have a wealth of scholarship and rich knowledge, which comes from correct understanding and careful observation.

Third, a new student must live a regular life, strict self-discipline, and treat others loyally.

Fourth, a new student must have courageous perseverance. Grit your teeth, indomitable, and fight against the obstacles of darkness.

A new student must have a noble character, not to deceive others, and not to deceive himself.

Sixth, a new student must be diligent and thrifty, and what he can do on his own must be done by himself, and the cost that can be saved must be saved.

Seventh, a new student must be happy to help others. Don't be selfish, sacrifice yourself at any time, for the sake of the public!

A new student must be simple. Do not sing high-profile, do not make exaggerated, but earnestly strive for work and career.

A new student must love the country and the nation. At the same time, he also loves his parents, loves his teachers, and loves all the lovely people.

A new student must have noble love, and must always love, understand, and comfort the sweet lover.

Finn, do you think these ten space holes are too extensive, or too exaggerated? Yes, it is absolutely difficult for a person to have this condition at the same time, but I would like to use it as my ten guiding signs to strive for the "new life"!

Such a touching family letter

And there are many more

The story behind these family letters

Do you know

In December 2014, when inspecting Jiangsu, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that there were 1,519 martyrs who left their names in Yuhuatai, and their deeds demonstrated the lofty ideals and beliefs of communists, noble moral sentiments, and the fearless spirit of sacrifice for the people. He earnestly hoped that "attention should be paid to making good use of the rich resources of party history and making them a powerful spiritual force that encourages the people to constantly forge ahead in a pioneering spirit."

Nanjing's "Red Gene"

It has long been deeply integrated

In the blood of the city

Nanjing has a rich red home, with 165 red cultural resource points such as Yuhuatai and the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river. In recent years, Nanjing has kept in mind the general secretary's earnest entrustment, and has continuously dug deep into red resources and told red stories.

Nowadays, Nanjing's red venues are full of people, red literary and artistic works are on stage, and red brand education activities are carried out in depth. According to Ctrip's platform, Nanjing ranked fourth in the "TOP10" of the most popular red tourist destinations in the country during the National Day holiday, after Beijing, Yan'an and Changsha.

"I and my motherland cannot be separated for a moment..." On October 1, in front of the "Thousand Sails Racing" group sculpture at the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river, citizens Lin Fenfang and girlfriends each held a small national flag and sang while waving. During the National Day holiday, party members and cadres, teenagers, and people from all walks of life have walked into the red venues to commemorate the great achievements of the martyrs, praise the glorious achievements of the motherland, and draw on the strength to forge ahead.

【Interpretation】

In the past five years, Nanjing has successively upgraded and transformed a number of important red venues such as the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall, the Meiyuan Xincun Memorial Hall of the CPC delegation, and the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river, created a number of new red scenic spots such as "Red Li Lane", and launched the "Ning Listening to Red Bus Classroom" and the Red Tourism Express Train, so as to facilitate citizens and tourists to study party history anytime and anywhere and understand Nanjing's rich red culture.

In January 2018, after more than 9 months of renovation and exhibition, the upgraded Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall was officially opened to the public. Researchers rushed to all parts of the country to read a large number of documents, so that a number of martyrs who were originally "only names" were enriched, and 262 revolutionary cultural relics that had not been publicly exhibited before also entered the public eye for the first time. In June 2020, the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall innovatively premiered the red culture "immersive explanation", allowing visitors to change from "bystanders" to "participants" in history and feel the power of faith. In December last year, the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall was created as a national first-class museum. As a nationally renowned "red landmark", the Yuhuatai Martyrs' Cemetery has received a total of 2.865 million visitors this year, exceeding the total number of visitors last year.

The trainees deeply remembered in front of the 3.2-meter-high bronze statue of Zhou Enlai and walked into the exhibition hall to relive the oath of joining the party... On April 26 this year, the Meiyuan Xincun Memorial Hall reopened nearly 5 months after the closure and upgrading of the museum, and built a "party member education reality classroom" composed of five parts: bronze statue remembrance, oath revisiting, exhibition hall visit, old site search, and plum garden pulpit, which became a "punch point" loved by party members and cadres in Nanjing. It has only been open for more than a month, and the number of visitors has exceeded 50,000.

The small steamer "Jingdian", which once made great achievements in battle, reappeared on the square of the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river after restoration, becoming a major highlight. On July 1 this year, after nearly 10 months of renovation, the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river reopened and launched the "World Turned upside down - Victory in the Battle of Crossing the River and Nanjing Liberation Exhibition", exhibiting 246 historical pictures and 317 precious cultural relics and documents, reproducing the spectacular scene of the People's Liberation Army's river crossing operation and liberation of Nanjing. During the National Day holiday, the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river also ushered in a weaving stream of passengers.

In recent years, Nanjing has successively developed a number of new red tourist attractions, and made red resources into high-quality routes. On National Day in 2017, the "Red Li Lane" built by Lishui opened its doors to welcome guests, restoring the former residences of 6 new Fourth Army generals such as Chen Yi, Jiang Weiqing, Zhong Guochu and Mei Zhang. Since March this year, Liuhe has launched a one-day tour of "Remembering the Martyrs of the Anti-Japanese Revolution", connecting red attractions such as the Memorial Hall of the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government in Zhuzhen City and the former site of the First Police Station of the New Fourth Army. Since May this year, the city has opened the "Ning Listening to the Red Bus Classroom", passing through The Zhang Wentian Exhibition Hall, the Yihe Road Community General Hall and other places, creating a "mobile boutique party lesson" that has spanned a hundred years.

A big search at home and abroad, digging deep and revitalizing the red home base

【Lens 2】

"Even if you die, you can't do anything!" During this year's National Day, many visitors were shocked by the "treasure of the town hall" of the Yuhuatai Martyrs' Memorial Hall, the "Diary before Death" of the martyr He Ruilin. It is a national first-class cultural relic, which has been broken and mutilated after being searched in prison and torn by the Japanese-Kosovar war, and has been hidden in the warehouse for 67 years. In 2019, the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Museum's paper cultural relics protection and restoration project was launched, and experts restored the diary after 5 months.

This is just a microcosm of Nanjing's revitalization of the "red family bottom". In the past five years, Nanjing has launched a large-scale search at home and abroad, collecting and improving the historical materials and cultural relics of martyrs, digging deep into the moving stories of martyrs, and making Nanjing's red home base more and more plump and thick.

  There are 1519 martyrs who have left their names in Yuhuatai, however, due to various reasons, many martyrs' deeds have not been fully excavated, and only one name is engraved on the monument. During the Qingming Dynasty in 2016, Nanjing launched the "Red Culture To See the Inheritance and Century Tracing the History of the Homeland" - the oral history collection activity of the close relatives of Yuhua Heroic Martyrs, and the search personnel rushed to nearly 20 provinces and cities, traveled more than 50,000 kilometers, collected rescue oral histories of more than 60 Relatives of Yuhuatai martyrs, formed an interview transcript of about 400,000 words, and edited and published the Oral History of the Close Relatives of Yuhua Heroic Martyrs. In October 2019, Yuhuatai carried out the collection of overseas historical materials for the first time, organized a team of experts to go to Russia and Belarus, and found more than 3,000 pages of precious archives of 11 Yuhua heroes who had worked and studied in the local area. In November 2019, Yuhuatai launched the collection of historical materials of the "Red Star Project", and a total of 633 historical materials of martyrs' relics have been collected, including the manuscripts drawn by Yang Tingbao, the "taidou" of the architectural industry, for the Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery.

On the square of the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river, the small steamer "Jingdian", a national first-class cultural relic known as the "first boat to cross the river", has also returned to people's sight not long ago after more than a year of restoration. The "Jingdian" small steamer is an important witness to the victory of the Battle of the River Crossing and the liberation of Nanjing. Heroic commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army once set up several machine guns on the "Jingdian" and braved artillery fire to cross the Yangtze River and make outstanding military achievements. Since its construction and launch in 1925 by the Shanghai Shen Baoji Shipyard, the "Jingdian" has been nearly 100 years old, and due to its age and wind and sun, there have been different degrees of corrosion. After applying to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Victory Memorial Hall of crossing the river adopted the "archaeological" scientific restoration method and successfully restored it on the basis of protection.

At the Meiyuan Xincun Memorial Hall, a number of precious cultural relics that were once hidden in the warehouse are now "re-emerging", which record the hard life of the older generation of revolutionaries. A humble green silk quilt, which had been decolored and whitened, was used by Zhou Enlai from 1946 to 1958. A suitcase that had been following Zhou Enlai since 1936 when dealing with the "Xi'an Incident" was still used for many years after the founding of New China, with worn corners and broken buckles. In order to protect the city's red family foundation, in July this year, the "Nanjing Red Cultural Resources Protection and Utilization Regulations" was officially implemented, which is the first "basic regulation" for the protection and utilization of red cultural resources in Nanjing. The Regulations establish a cross-departmental joint meeting mechanism to coordinate the protection and utilization of red cultural resources.

A hundred flowers bloom, innovative forms to tell a good red story

"Faith is like a flag, beckoning in the wind; faith is like a song, passion is called..." With 16 passionate symphonic songs, Deng Zhongxia, Yun Daiying, Huang Li and other heroic heroes of rain flowers seemed to return to the audience through time and space. On the evening of October 9, as a new musical work of the 2021 Zijin Culture and Art Festival, the large-scale symphonic suite "Yuhuatai - The Power of Faith" was re-sounded at the Jiangsu Grand Theatre.

In the past five years, Nanjing has successively created a number of colorful red literary and artistic works, using dramas, operas, novels, films and television methods, with the help of new media means, to tell the red story of Nanjing.

"Real", "Shocking", "Moving"! In April this year, the drama "Yuhuatai" participated in the "Outstanding Stage Art Exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China" sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Federation of Chinese Literary and Art Circles, and the audience praised it. Since its premiere in September 2015, the play has been performed more than 100 times across the country and won the National "Five One Project" Outstanding Works Award. In April this year, the large-scale documentary literature book "Yuhuatai" held a new book launch ceremony. The book is the first large-scale documentary literary work in China to show the heroic spirit of Yuhua, and was created by He Jianming, vice chairman of the China Writers Association and president of the China Reportage Literature Society.

The creation of red literary and artistic works is endless. The first large-scale original acrobatic drama "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River" with the theme of the Battle of crossing the river, using a variety of acrobatic art forms such as high-altitude climbing and churning stunts, let the audience be refreshed. The Municipal Peking Opera Troupe joined hands with the National Peking Opera House to create a modern Peking opera "Plum Garden Past", which shows the story of the communists represented by Zhou Enlai who did not forget their original intentions, remembered their mission, and bowed down to exhaustion. The city has also established the Red Literature and Art Promotion Association to integrate the city's red literary and artistic resources, promote the in-depth cooperation between the red memorial site and the literary and art circles, and tell the red story in a more infectious art form.

Nanjing also uses the all-media platform to tell red stories in a way that young people like. Before the Qingming Festival in 2018, in the cultural variety show "Letter China" launched on CCTV, Wang Junkai and Zhang Yixing read the family letters of Yuhua Heroic Martyrs, which set off a "red whirlwind" in the "post-90s" and "post-00s", and the video playback exceeded 10 million. On July 9, 2019, a 20-second short video of 107-year-old veteran Red Army Qin Huali to pay homage to his comrade-in-arms Jinfu on Yuhuatai appeared on Douyin for only one day and was read 28 million times. The series of short videos released on Douyin to tell the story of the heroic martyrs of Yuhua have been played more than 14 million times.

In the past five years, Nanjing has also innovatively held various forms of theme exhibitions, social education activities, commemorative activities, red summit forums, etc. for different audience groups, and widely spread the "red fire" in schools, institutions, enterprises, communities, military camps and other social circles, so that the red gene can be passed on from generation to generation. On September 30 this year, the newlyweds in Jiangsu Province and Nanjing City presented flowers to the revolutionary martyrs at the Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery, which has become a highly influential red theme activity in the country since 2015. In July this year, the "China Revolution Memorial Hall High-quality Development Summit 2021" also landed in Nanjing, and the "big coffee" from all over the country who studied red culture gathered together to talk about making good use of red resources and continuing the red blood.
