As soon as Li Qungang spoke, he inadvertently glanced out the window, and said to the vice premier with a little excitement: "The village and township have arrived while talking, so let's ask the chief to test our work on the spot!" ”

With Li Qungang's words, everyone's attention turned to the car window, and the winding mountain road instantly entered a plain valley when it arrived here, and the road became much wider, it seemed to be a road built completely according to the width of the valley mouth, and the road surface was not the asphalt road used by the winding mountain road, but a smooth and clean cement pavement.

Not only the width and material of the road, but also the tall cedars on both sides of the road, standing like guards along the road and stretching all the way to the mouth of the valley. In addition to these tall and straight cedars, there are also neat and regular flowerbed plants cut on the roadside, intertwined with the cedars, forming two magnificent green belts.

In the mountains are full of green trees growing randomly, and you can see green mountains everywhere, suddenly see these well-trimmed, uniform green plants and flower beds, it still seems a little abrupt, but also different. Moreover, these cedars and green plants are not unique tree species in the Huayi Mountains, so it can be seen that it took a huge amount of manpower and material resources to achieve the effect.

It's not the first time Qi Tianxiang has come here, but every time he comes, he will be affected by the tall cedars and neatly trimmed green plants, which makes his mood very complicated, and he also has a lot of feelings, but every time he is like this time, helpless and speechless. After all, these are the façade of the memorial site, and it is also a proof that the local government attaches great importance to the protection of the memorial site.

The convoy slowly drove along the spacious concrete road until it reached the valley mouth before finally stopping, and the vehicles of the leading comrades, still in front, facing the tall monument, were neatly parked in a row.

The monument is built in the middle of the valley mouth, except for the monument body, there is no pedestal and guardrail, it appears simple and magnificent, there is a natural integration with the valley, and the valley and the outer part are also divided into two obvious parts. The monument is a cylindrical building in the shape of a red tassel gun, showing the characteristics of the establishment of the base in those years, the tall building is made of stainless steel, the whole body is bright, towering into the clouds, the diamond-shaped tip of the gun is more like a sharp blade piercing the blue sky, the cylindrical cylinder is engraved with different fonts, one side is gilded characters, the name of the memorial place is written, the other three sides are written with the glorious history of the memorial site, as well as the important historical records that have been approved, and there are some reliefs that indicate the history of the memorial site and the activities of the front, Freeze the glorious moments of that special time.

The vice premier took the lead in slowly stepping out of the medium-sized bus, stood still and looked around at the surrounding scenery, and finally fixed his gaze on the monument, his expression became solemn and solemn, and his demeanor became serious and serious.

After a short wait, the personnel of the other vehicles in the convoy quickly gathered and stood behind the deputy prime minister and other leaders in an orderly manner according to their positions and ranks, waiting for the arrival of the important moment. The honor guards who had been prepared for a long time, after the leaders finished the procession, in the majestic military music, two soldiers carried flower baskets, under the protection of the guards, walked towards the monument, and solemnly placed the flower baskets in front of the monument, and then lined up in two teams to guard the flower baskets and the monument.

After the honor guard completed the ceremony of presenting and placing the flower baskets, the vice premier walked slowly to the flower baskets with a solemn expression, slowly and earnestly arranged the ribbons on the flower baskets, and then bowed respectfully and solemnly to the monument three times, expressing his reverence for the revolutionary ancestors.

After the vice premier finished all this and slowly returned to the queue, Qi Tianxiang and Wang Hai walked to the monument together, walked to the flower baskets representing their respective units, arranged the ribbons carefully like the vice premier, and then bowed respectfully to the monument, and then slowly walked back to the queue.

After the vice premier, Qi Tianxiang and Wang Hai finished the tribute activities, Qin Liang, Luo Jian, Sun Pingfang and other provincial and municipal leaders, as well as the entourage, walked to the monument in turn, placed the bouquets in their hands on both sides of the flower basket, and then bowed. The queue was orderly and solemn, showing a mood of piety and admiration.

The honor guard and the guards are a brigade of the armed police on active duty, which is responsible for the ceremonial ceremony and the security of the memorial site, and has become a permanent contingent. It is specially responsible for the honor guard tasks of leading cadres at all levels who visit and reminisce about the old comrades who visit here every year, as well as provide necessary guidance and honor guard services for the theme activities of young students who organize to hold red education.

After the commemorative ceremony, the visit was officially started, the vice premier and Wang Hai and his entourage visited the old office site of the border district government, the people's hall, the school and the hospital, in the memorial hall transformed by the headquarters office, the vice premier listened to the introduction of the docent, while attentively watching the physical exhibits in the display case, and carefully watched the pictures and introduction texts, and even approached to watch carefully, as if to keep these precious items from the ancient era, firmly remembered, engraved in the depths of memory.

The old site is not very large, about the size of a rural township, relatively concentrated, and it doesn't take much time to visit. The main thing is to visit a few monumental buildings, which are integrated with other buildings and are difficult to distinguish without careful distinction. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renovated, and it can be distinguished from the old and new appearances, and the main buildings have been preserved, while other buildings have been renovated or diverted for other purposes. Originally, the headquarters and the border district government were stationed here, and they also made use of the original buildings, and basically did not carry out large-scale construction, because the conditions did not allow it, and there was no time and energy to carry out large-scale construction. The headquarters office uses the house of a landlord here, the hall is the ancestral hall of the village, the school and the hospital are also the original buildings in the village, in the entire Huayi Mountainous Area, there are many such villages and towns, and the larger villages and towns are also such architectural patterns, but here it is more special.

During the whole visit, the vice premier did not say a word, always listened attentively and watched intently, until he walked out of the memorial hall, he said to Qi Tianxiang who was walking beside him: "When I was a child, I listened to my parents talk about the experience of being in the old area, and every grass and tree here was integrated into their memories. ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's attentive look, the vice premier continued: "I have heard a lot, I also yearn for this place, there is always a curiosity in my heart, I always want to see the place where my parents once lived and fought, what is it like?" And what kind of charm does it have, so that they will never forget, today when they see it is really extraordinary, the mountains and rivers here are really some magical charm. ”

"That's also the power of spiritual inspiration!" Qi Tianxiang followed the words of the vice premier, looked around at the surrounding buildings, and said with a slight smile: "Now it seems that the places that are all closed are closed and backward decades ago, but because a group of people with beliefs and ideals came here, more right followers were brought in, and finally a mighty torrent was formed, and it also brought a new world of sunshine." ”

"Well said! It's poetic and revelatory. The vice premier and others were welcomed into the lounge by the staff, sat on the sofa where they lived, and then said approvingly to Qi Tianxiang: "A place that is not suitable for survival and development, but it has gathered tremendous spiritual strength and become the cradle of the revolution, and finally formed a revolutionary torrent rolling forward, overcoming many difficulties and obstacles, and winning the victory of the whole country." This cannot help but make us, the successors, think about which is more powerful than the material and the spiritual, and which one is more inspiring to do the affairs of the people, the conditions and the spirit, and whether we should also give a better answer to the questions that our predecessors can answer. ”

"You have put forward a serious topic for us, which deserves serious consideration by our provincial party committee, the provincial government, and cadres at all levels in the province." The topic of the vice premier is serious and solemn, and it is even more severe on such an occasion, and it also has a very high height, no one dares to answer at will, Qi Tianxiang, as the governor, had to take it over and replied seriously: "The previous hardships and hardships have not affected the spread of faith in the slightest, but have created a stronger love of fish and water, and created a cohesive spiritual strength." Compared with the war years, the current conditions have undergone tremendous changes in both the development environment and the subjective and objective conditions, but they are alienated from the common people. This is not the reason for the change in the environment, but the thinking of our party members and cadres has changed, from a member of the people, to an official and a leader, thinking that the interests of the people are less, thinking about their careers more, and even becoming the opposite of the people. If such a state of mind is not fundamentally changed, no measures or policy measures will benefit the interests of the people, and it is not impossible for people to deviate from morality over time. ”

The vice premier looked at Qi Tianxiang sideways and nodded deeply, but did not continue Qi Tianxiang's words, but turned his eyes to Li Guangrong, who was sitting not far away, and said gently: "Let's continue to introduce your work on the protection of the memorial site!" Carry forward the red tradition, you have a great responsibility! ”
