In a simple farmhouse in the Jianghuai Plain, a young female announcer in a gray cotton military uniform, two pigtails, and a military cowhide belt around her waist sat on a rough poplar bench, facing a radio microphone, reading a news release in Chinese with a slight southern accent.

It's the middle of winter, and at dusk, the northwest wind is whining non-stop. Although the door was tightly closed, the cold wind still penetrated through a dozen cracks in the door, and there was no stove in the house, so the room was not much warmer than the outside. The bowl of boiled water placed at the door actually froze, and the lantern on the table was also flickering. The house looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, and the beams and walls were covered with cobwebs. A thick layer of black ash fell on the potholed earthen walls, and they did not move in the face of the cold wind. The female announcer and the technician in charge of debugging were so cold that their faces were red from the cold, and their mouths were full of white gas, and their faces were filled with joy because they were attracted by the content of the script. Next to the lantern is a loudspeaker. As the row of indicators on the amplifier flashed continuously, the announcer's sweet and mellow voice turned into radio waves through the amplifier and the transmitter outside the house, which was quickly transmitted to all corners of the Jianghuai Plain.

According to our news, General Gu Yu, commander of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army, and General Luo Zhiping, political commissar, led all the commanders and fighters of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army to General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, recently sent a telegram to General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, to congratulate the commander-in-chief on his 60th birthday. The full text of the congratulatory message is as follows:

Dear Commander-in-Chief Zhu,

On the occasion of your 60th birthday, all the commanders and fighters of the Jianghuai army and the people of the Jianghuai JF District would like to pay high tribute to you and sincerely congratulate you on your health and longevity!

Just as Chairman Mao said in his inscription to you, your birthday is the glory of the people, the glory of our party, and the glory of the people's army. Your revolutionary experience serves as a model teaching material for the education of revolutionary outlook on life, ideals and beliefs, and will not only educate the youth of today, but will also have an important impact on the youth of the future.

Since your early years, you have been seeking to save the country and the people, and you have participated in the Xinhai Revolution, the National Defense Movement, and the Law Protection Movement. When Marxism was introduced to China, you did not rashly accept Marxism and join the Communist Party of China in order to pursue fashion, fashion, and romance, as some young people at that time did. On the contrary, you have come to a well-thought-out conclusion based on your own positive and negative experiences that only Marxism can save China. When your request to join the party was rejected by Chen Duxiu, the leader of the **** Central Committee at that time, you were 36 years old and did not lose heart, and resolutely traveled across the ocean to Germany, the hometown of Marxism, to seek the truth. October 1922 was the harvest season, and you, who were at a mature age, were honored to become a mature Marxist according to your mature choices in this mature season.

Because of maturity, when those who pursued fashion, fashion, and romance were frightened by the massacre of the ******* mutinous revolution, left the party, or even betrayed the party, you firmly followed the party and actively participated in the August 1 Nanchang Uprising led by the party. Because of maturity, when the Nanchang Uprising was frustrated and the rebel army was facing a critical juncture of collapse, you stepped forward, turned the tide, stabilized the ranks, and preserved the revolutionary fire for the party. Because of your maturity, you have made a successful exploration to create a strong proletarian revolutionary army in China, where the peasants are the main body, and you have the honor of becoming the commander-in-chief of this revolutionary army, creating a great miracle of defeating a powerful enemy with inferior equipment. Because of your maturity, you have consistently adhered to the truth, taken into account the overall situation, united with comrades, and worked hard to safeguard the party's fundamental interests regardless of personal gains and losses on many major issues that have a bearing on the party's destiny.

In the past, your maturity led us to victoriously carry out the Red Army War and the War of Resistance Against Japan. Today, your maturity will lead us to bravely carry out a patriotic war of self-defense and will win a glorious victory!

Comrade Commander-in-Chief, our Jianghuai troops recently won a major victory in the battle to defend Linhe, the capital of the Jianghuai JF district, which thwarted the rampant offensive of the main forces of the Chiang army, forced the Chiang army to go on the defensive, and created a favorable opportunity for our army to open up a new situation in the war of self-defense in the Jianghuai region. What makes us even more proud is that this battle took place on the eve of your birthday, so the victory in the defense of the Linhe River has naturally become a special birthday celebration for our Jianghuai soldiers and civilians to dedicate to you. In order to express our Jianghuai military and civilian wishes for your birthday, we specially present you a birthday gift worthy of the name and commemorative significance, these gifts are all trophies of the defense of the Lin River, including: an American-made pistol, a Zhongzheng sword, a pair of American-made binoculars, a set of military maps, a box of American canned food, and a pair of American leather shoes that have never been worn. These gifts have been arranged to be sent to Yan'an, and the commander-in-chief will receive them soon.

Comrade Commander-in-Chief, this year, when we celebrate your birthday, the self-defense war in the JF area is on a rainy day and a rainbow is rising. Next year, when we celebrate your birthday again, the revolutionary situation will surely be triumphant, and the wind will be full of red flags!

I sincerely wish you a long and healthy life!

Jianghuai People's Liberation Army Commander Gu Yu, Political Commissar Luo Zhiping and all Jianghuai military and civilians"

In a set of blue-brick and blue-tiled courtyard houses more than 80 miles away from the radio station, many PLA soldiers in gray cotton uniforms gathered in the main hall and sat around a pine table of eight immortals, listening to the clear sound broadcast on a black plastic-shell radio on the table, and could not help but frown with joy. "Oh, this small box is really a god, it can actually release the voice of a person."

"This guy can speak, sing, and sing, what an evil man!"

A PLA cadre who was standing against a pillar with a shell gun on his back smiled, "This is called a radio, and you can listen to the news and literary programs of the radio station, which was recently given to us by the ****** of the captain of the transport brigade along with American-style equipment." ”

This cadre is Feng Tao, who is now the commander of the first brigade, regiment and battalion of the first division of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army. At this time, he felt a little tired, and without waiting for the radio broadcast to end, he turned and walked into the east suite, closed the door, and reclined on the wooden bed with his clothes.

Listening to the radio broadcast outside, Feng Tao couldn't help but take out the yellow handkerchief in his jacket pocket, which was embroidered with a delicate Nantian bamboo petal pattern with red and white needlework.

"Kaede, we haven't seen each other in three years. Right now, the radio outside is broadcasting our radio station. I found that your voice is a little similar to the golden-voiced Xiaocao. It's all so sweet and soft, with a hint of fortitude. When I heard Xiao Cao's voice, I thought of you, and I remembered the days with you in the mountain city ZQ......"

Feng Tao and his lover, dressed in a gray Verding suit, with two pigtails, a white silk shirt, a blue silk skirt, and white leather high heels, walked slowly down the bluestone steps planted with camphor trees on both sides, and the green camphor leaves obscured their youthful backs. At this time, the forest ** with a faint white mist was particularly quiet, and the cries of birds echoed around, chirping, chirping, and cooing. From time to time, the whistle of the steamer on the Jialing River in the distance can be heard, beep, beet, beet......

Thinking of this, Feng Tao closed his eyes and smiled sweetly.
