1. Nanjing is the epitome of the Republic of China

Lao She set out from Jinan in the summer of 1934 and his first stop was Nanjing, with the aim of visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

When the car arrived at Shimonoseki Station, he got off the train and looked at the fiery sun until he felt the heat breathless. The first thing he said to his friends was, "I've escaped from the pot and entered the furnace." ”

Everyone laughed.

Nanjing, one of the three major furnaces, is a city that rarely has spring. After the Spring Festival in 1937, every household had not finished eating the New Year's dishes, and the day was already getting hot day by day.

Ten dishes in a ceramic pot suddenly have a taste because of the heat. No matter how reluctant I am in my heart, I have to pour outward.

The bowl head fish, which symbolizes that there is more than enough every year, has to be served at every meal without touching the chopsticks. I can't put it down.

After a spring rain, the plum blossoms on the plum blossom mountain in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing bloomed early, and the news spread all over the city of Nanjing for a while, and people rushed to go up the mountain to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The colorful plum blossoms attract people's attention, and there are people who take pictures under the plum blossoms, and there are people who leave plum blossoms in a variety of postures for plum blossom photography.

Climb to the top of Plum Blossom Mountain. Backed by the Purple Mountain and facing the city of Nanjing, the spring breeze is fragrant, which is refreshing and fun.

Nanjing Meihua Mountain is in the south of the Purple Mountain outside the Zhongshan Gate, as early as 252 A.D., it is a barren mountain with an altitude of 55 meters at the foot of the Purple Mountain.

Although there are plum blossoms growing on this barren mountain, there is no climate, let alone a sparse climate

There is interest in it and it is just a nameless hill.

In 252 A.D., Emperor Sun Quan of Wu was buried here, and people called this nameless hill 'Sun Linggang'.

The bureaucrats and literati who went to the post to sweep the graves found plum blossoms on the mountain. People naturally

It is commonly known as Plum Blossom Mountain. The sun and the moon rotate, year after year. People know about Meihua Mountain and forget about 'Sun Linggang. ’

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang built the Ming Tomb of filial piety, and Meihua Mountain blocked the way out of the Ming Tomb in the south of the Ming Tomb. It was suggested that Sun Quan's tomb should be removed and Meihua Mountain should be razed to the ground.

Sun Quan is not Emperor Wu in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but just a good man, he can be a guard in Zhu Yuanzhang's Imperial Forest Army. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to ask Sun Quan's tomb to be left to guard the gate of the cemetery.

The emperor spoke, and the people who designed the cemetery could only build the Yuhe Bridge of the Ming Tomb on the north side of Meihua Mountain.

The stone people and stone horses on the Shinto Road of the Ming Tomb are built around the Plum Blossom Mountain, completely surrounding it. Sun Quan's tomb was preserved and became a veritable gatekeeper of the Ming Tomb.

After the completion of the Ming Tomb, the fame of Meihua Mountain became even greater. Nanjing people regard plum blossoms as their symbols.

When the Qing government set the peony flower as the national flower, the Republic of China overthrew the Qing Dynasty to build the capital Nanjing, the peony flower is no longer the national flower, and the Chinese people regard the plum blossom as the national flower.

In 1929, Sun Yat-sen Feng'an Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the cemetery management committee built a memorial flower and tree area of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Meihua Mountain, cultivated a large number of plum blossoms, since then Meihua Mountain is famous at home and abroad, and has become a must-visit place for people to travel.

Tourists who have visited Meihua Mountain must go to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to pay tribute to Sun Yat-sen, and return to Nanjing City from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum must pass through Zhongshan Gate, the city gate named after Zhongshan.

Zhongshan Gate was formerly known as Chaoyang Gate. After entering the Zhongshan Gate, there is a road named after Zhongshan in Nanjing City that runs through Nanjing City until the Zhongshan Wharf on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Adjacent to Zhongshan Gate is the wide Zhongshan East Road, which is forty meters wide and is divided into fast lanes, slow lanes, sidewalks and safety islands.

On both sides of the road, tall tung trees are planted, and their lush foliage shades the sky. Walking along shady boulevards, one forgets the fiery sun in the sky.

Walk west along Zhongshan East Road, you can see Wuchao Gate, Yudao Street, Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, Xi'an Gate and other ruins along the way.

These ruins are the ruins of the magnificent and solemn imperial palace built by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, called the Ming Imperial Palace.

The Ming Imperial Palace is composed of two parts, the imperial city and the palace city, which are collectively called the imperial palace. Its area occupies half of the eastern city of Nanjing.

Inside the palace there is the Jade River and the Jade Belt River. There are five dragon bridges inside and outside the palace. Historically, the Ming Palace was the first imperial palace to unify the Chinese dynasty.

The architecture of the entire palace is full of the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty. The big roof has large cornices, the yellow glazed tiles shine golden light under the blue sky, and the big red Optimus Prime is majestic and solemn.

The palaces and pavilions in the palace are thousands of doors and thousands of doors, and there are all kinds of gold, silver and jade. It can be described as brilliant and extraordinary.

The Ming Imperial Palace is from the Hongwu Dynasty to the Jianwen Dynasty and then to the Yongle Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty. A place where three generations of emperors governed the country. It was up to 54 years.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army invaded the city of Nanjing, and the rebels killed all the remnants of the palace and looted the magnificent palace.

The Qing army that entered the city later saw that the palace was already an empty city, and it burned for several days and nights. Unfortunately, more than half of the great palace was burned down.

The Qing army pacified Jiangnan and set up two yamen of generals and capitals in the Ming Imperial Palace. The Ming Imperial Palace was changed to a camp garrisoned by the Eight Banners.

When the Jintian Uprising Taiping army entered the city of Nanjing, the leader of the Taiping army ordered the killing of all the Manchus in the city of Nanjing.

In order to survive, the Manchurians, regardless of men, women, and children, took up arms and threw themselves into the battlefield. They fought desperately against the Taiping army.

Many Qing soldiers were not killed by the Taiping army in battle, but were exhausted to death in the fighting.

The Taiping army killed all the Manchus and occupied Nanjing, lighting a fire to burn the remaining buildings of the palace to the ground.

The Ming Imperial Palace has nothing left except for the stone components buried underground and the foundation of the palace. The next year, the green vegetable patch covered up all the bad deeds.

Walk west from Zhongshan East Road to Yixian Bridge to Xinjiekou Square, Nanjing's commercial center, and from Xinjiekou Square to the south is Zhongshan South Road, which is a bustling commercial street.

The Central Shopping Mall, Nanjing's largest shopping mall, built on January 12, 1936, and the Dahua Cinema, built in the same year, are located here.

To the north from Xinjiekou are Zhongshan Road and Zhongshan North Road. On both sides of the road are the ministries, judicial, military and diplomatic institutions of the Republic of China.

Out of the Rujiang Gate, you will arrive at the Zhongshan Wharf in Xiaguan. Zhongshan Wharf and its surrounding streets, street lights, and the office area of the roadside power plant are all typical buildings of the Republic of China.

The Presidential Palace of the Republic of China is on Guofu Road in Nanjing, and the presidential palace retains the solemn and beautiful official residence of Sun Yat-sen.

Everything that Sun Yat-sen used during his lifetime is perfectly preserved: desks and chairs, telephones, study rooms, furniture.

Nationals who want to learn about the Republic of China and overseas Chinese, foreign politicians, historians, scholars and explorers flock to Nanjing.

They first went to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and then to the Presidential Palace to pay respects to Sun Yat-sen's official residence. Then run around the streets and alleys of Nanjing.

They used their cameras to photograph their sister-in-law fetching water by the well and the girl washing clothes by the river. Photographed the deep alley mansion in the south of the city. The beautiful scenery and magnificent ancient city wall by the Qinhuai River.

All of these people will take a small train to visit the city at Guofu Station on Guofu Road, which was formerly known as the Supervision Office Station.

On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen took a train from Shanghai to Nanjing to take office as the provisional president of the Republic of China. He changed to a small train in the city at Shimonoseki Station and went directly to the Superintendent's Station.

He got off the train at the Governor's Station and went to the Presidential Palace to take office. In order to commemorate this great moment forever, the railway station of the Supervision Office has been renamed Guofu Station since then

Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China and the political and cultural center of the Republic of China. Nanjing is the epitome of the Republic of China. If you don't know Nanjing, you don't know the Republic of China.

In 1929, Nanjing began a ten-year construction plan. A rich and powerful republic is rising in the East.

Two: the capital of peace and tranquility

In 1929, Nanjing's construction blossomed everywhere.

Residents were demolished, roads were widened, and construction began on hotels, shopping malls and government offices. Migrant workers from other places poured into Nanjing.

On the surface, the people of Nanjing are still living a routine life, but the torrent is quietly surging under the calm river.

The families who caught up with the demolition were busy building new houses with the cost of the demolition. Residents on both sides of the street have opened shops and hotels.

The people in the deep alleys cleaned the old houses that had not been lived in for many years and rented them out to outsiders.

More people are going into factories, schools, institutions and public utilities. Advertising agencies, travel companies, business districts, industrial areas have sprung up like mushrooms.

In June 1937, the weather in Nanjing was already so hot that it was breathless. It's hot but windy during the day.

Every day when the wind stops at dinner, everything in the house is so hot that people can only sweat under the trees and under the eaves and wave banana fans.

In the evening, the elderly and children at home are busy sprinkling water on the road in front of the door, moving the beds, recliners and door panels to the side of the road. They are prepared to cool off and sleep at night.

People have sovereignty over the territory on their doorstep, and how big the place to enjoy the shade was at the beginning, and it has remained so big since then, and it has remained the same for many years.

Occasionally, something that crosses the line is resolved by greeting. There were no disputes between neighbors over places.

Students after school stepped through the threshold and were busy eating.

The mother said angrily, "The clothes are rented." Take it off and wash it for grandma, and it will be good to wear tomorrow after a while.

"After dinner, I went to read under the street lamp. It's cool and saves money on electricity for the family. ”

After a while, the elderly and children of each family came out with banana fans to enjoy the coolness, and the neighbors greeted each other. The old people meet and start a homely routine. Men love to talk about news and insights.

The men were shirtless, either on small benches or on the door.

Women wore short-sleeved clothes and knee-high shorts, and they sat or lay on beds with their children. Recliners are all places for the elderly.

Under the street lamps, there are chess players, students doing homework, and old people taking the soles of their shoes. It was late at night, and the people gradually dispersed. Adults and children, men and women, fell asleep in the streets.

The silent city of Nanjing fell asleep, and the streets and alleys lined up from one end of the road to the other end of the road, and people in their sleep lined up throughout the city of Nanjing.

There is no one here to hold mosquito nets because there are no mosquitoes.

When it was cold at night, the old man got up and went back to his room to bring a sheet and cover the child. It was dawn and people spent the night in deep sleep.

Although the door was not closed that night, no thieves entered the room. Although there were many girls and daughters-in-law sleeping in the streets, there was no hooligan nuisance.

The sun had not yet risen, and people had already hurriedly moved the doors of the beds and loungers to their homes. After a night's work, the house has become cooler. The child who did not want to get out of bed was carried into the house by the grandmother and went back to sleep.

After a while, smoke rose from the kitchens of every house, most of them burned large stoves, and the yards were full of firewood.

A few people burned briquettes, and they smashed the stove sealed with wet coal the day before with tongs, and fanned it a few times in a hurry, and the fire soon came up.

Every day's breakfast is porridge or pickled rice with side dishes, which is very simple. The side dishes include dried radish, kohlrabi, and assorted vegetables. Particular people put a little sesame oil in the side dishes.

There are hawkers on the street who pick and choose to buy, some people run out to buy fried cakes, fritters, sugar and hemp balls, and some buy foreign sweets.

The whole family was eating, and there was a shout of 'take out the garbage' from the street.

The shouting is accompanied by the shaking of the bell of the shouter. The mule pulled the cart and followed the rattler, slowly along the stone-paved road.

Some people are adults, others are children, they immediately put down their rice bowls and take the garbage from the bucket or old basin out of the kitchen or yard, and they scramble to dump the garbage into the garbage truck.

Whoever takes out the garbage comes out late, he has to run a few steps behind the mule cart. Whether it was an elderly person or a child, there was no spilling garbage outside the car.

Occasionally, if a child spills garbage outside the car, the adults in the family will immediately sweep the garbage away and take it back to their own yard. Nanjing's roads and alleys are very clean.

No one litters on the streets, and no one defecates in the open. There are public toilets on the side of the road or in the alleys in Nanjing.

Every morning the man who goes to the toilet always lines up with a cigarette in his mouth or reading a newspaper. In densely populated areas, there are also urinals on the side of the road.

When my mother went out after breakfast, she carried a heavy toilet bowl and put it next to a well, which was already full of all kinds of toilets.

An old man dumps feces from the toilet bowl into a manure truck. A woman draws water from a well to clean the toilet. These people are called toilet washers.

They don't charge money for cleaning toilets, they ask for feces. The old man who washed the toilet will send it from door to door, and he has never missed it.

The adults went out to do their lives, the children went to school, and the grandmother took the pots and spoons to the river to wash them.

The water is clear, and schools of fish swim around in the river. Some fish have grown so big that it is rare for someone to catch them.

The hills in the city of Nanjing are the geomorphological characteristics of Nanjing, and there are many mountains and rivers in Nanjing, and the flow direction of the rivers is related to the mountains of Nanjing City.

The east of Nanjing City is the Purple Mountain, and the west from the Purple Mountain through the Taiping Gate is Xiaojiuhua Mountain, the Arctic Pavilion Mountain, the Gulou Slope, the Suiyuan Mountain, the Wutai Mountain, and the Qingliang Mountain.

People refer to these mountains as the westward extension of the Purple Mountain Range.

The entire mountain range divides the city of Nanjing from east to west into north and south. Nanjing people are accustomed to calling it the south of the city and the north of the city.

The direction of the streets of Nanjing, the construction of houses in Nanjing and the direction of the river are inseparable, which is the reason for the mountains and rivers of Nanjing

Chengnan is mostly a native of old Nanjing, with a standard Nanjing accent. The house is an ancestral building of blue bricks and tiles. It is a business and entertainment hub.

There are many people from outside the north of the city, and the accents are also mixed. Most of the government and military organs of the Republic of China are located in the north of the city. It is the political and cultural center of Nanjing.

To the north of the mountain range, the river flows north into Xuanwu Lake and then into the Yangtze River. The river south of the mountain range flows south into the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River inside the city wall is called the Inner Qinhuai River, and the outside of the city wall is called the Outer Qinhuai River. The Waiqinhuai River flows from east to west along the city wall to Xiaguan and joins the Yangtze River.

The Qinhuai River is the most prosperous section from Zhonghua Gate to Hanzhong Gate, and the wharves on both sides of the Qinhuai River are connected to the wharves, and the warehouses are connected to the warehouses.

On this street, there are rice rows, noodle shops, and miscellaneous grain shops. That street was cloth, cotton, and silk. On both sides of the street, the flags of the liquor and the flags of the shops and foreign shops fluttered in the wind.

There are sand and gravel yards, timber yards, oil mills, mills and machine rooms along the Qinhuai River. From dawn in the morning to the time when the lights are held in the evening, the road is full of traffic and people, and there is a bustling scene.

In the river, small steamers and cargo ships with sails are fully loaded, and they are shuttling through the Qinhuai River.

These ships brought grain and salt; Coal, firewood and other means of subsistence, bamboo, timber, steel and other materials were transported to Nanjing. and transported Nanjing's silk, cloud brocade and salted duck to the whole country.

Since the Neolithic Age, Nanjing people have lived by the Qinhuai River for generations, and the water of the Qinhuai River has nurtured the people of Nanjing, and the Nanjing people have compared the Qinhuai River to the mother river.

Three: First acquaintance

Not far from a tributary of the Inner Qinhuai River, there is a general senior high school, where all the students of the school board. Wang Mingming is in the first grade at this school.

Wang Mingming is 1.62 meters tall and likes to tie two small braids. Her best classmate is called Huang Yujuan, and Huang Yujuan is half a head taller than Wang Mingming. When she stepped into the school gate, she was spotted by the school basketball team.

Every day after dinner, the two of them like to go for a walk along the small river on campus, where a cool breeze blows the calm river.

Quietly, the river is connected to the Qinhuai River, and it is like a child being held by a mother. Bouncing is very happy and very obedient.

A small path paved with rain and stones by the river winds to the end of the campus. The green weeping willows on the roadside ripple in the wind. The water in the creek is clear, and you can see the fish at the bottom of the river.

The master of the school cafeteria sometimes goes down to the river to lay nets the night before, and the next morning comes to collect fish, which is very pleasing when there are many and large fish and they are alive and vibrant.

They threw the big fish into the basket and put the small fish under half a pound back into the river. The students gathered around to watch the excitement.

The cafeteria distributes the fish to the teacher. One for each person, even for school workers. The surplus fish is given to the cafeteria to improve the food for the students.

The gatekeeper of the school came to Wang Mingming, saying that someone was looking for her at the gate of the school, and the gatehouse at that time was not only a security guard, but also the sending and receiving of newspapers and letters, and he was also responsible for conveying the people who came to the school to find teachers and students, so the gatehouse was also called the mailroom and the communication room. Guardhouse.

Wang Mingming hurriedly ran to the school gate, and it turned out that her mother had asked her to bring a letter asking her to go home on Saturday for her eighteenth birthday.

Wang Mingming thanked him for keeping him for dinner, and he said, "No need, I still have something to do, I'm leaving." ”

According to the school's rules, students must ask their teachers for leave when they go home on Sundays. The teacher never bullied the student's Sunday leave. Just to know where the students are going. Ask them to stay safe on the road. Say hello to their parents by the way.

After class, Wang Mingming came out of the classroom with a book. Huang Yujuan accompanied her out of the classroom and said, "I'll send you to the school gate." ”。 Wang Mingming stopped her and said, "Yellow cat, it's hot, don't send it." I'm leaving. ”

The yellow cat didn't listen to her and said, "There's no reason not to send it." Your home is far away, and it's rare for you to go home, so let's go. I'm not far away,"

Yellow cat is Huang Yujuan's nickname. The classmates felt that the name Huang Yujuan was not easy to shout, and called her 'Huang Zi' close to Wang Ziyin, which exalted her too much. It's too rustic to call her 'Juanzi'.

One day her grandmother came to school to pick her up, and her classmates all gathered around her grandmother to say hello. Grandma said, "Ah Mao, your classmates are so good, you can rest assured that you are studying here." ”

A classmate said, "Grandma, you call her a cat, and we call her a yellow cat like grandma, okay?" ”

Grandma said, "Okay, you call her a yellow cat, the more people shout, the better, and the more you call her like this, the healthier her body will be." That's a good thing. ”

The students unanimously applauded.

Wang Mingming asked the yellow cat: "Why is your nickname called A Mao?" ”

"When I was a child, I was not in good health and often got sick. My grandmother often took me to the hospital. The doctor said that my body was weak and that I needed to strengthen my nutrition.

Grandma didn't believe it and said I had eaten well enough. I am the only child in the family, and no one eats as well as me.

One day, my grandmother called a blind man and asked him what was the matter with my poor health, and the blind man pinched his fingers and asked me what my nickname was. My grandmother told him that my nickname was Xiaoyu. The blind man said that this child's big name has jade, and his small name has jade, which is too expensive, so change his nickname.

Grandma asked what the name was. The blind man was pinching his fingers, and my cat came in barking from outside. The blind man said did you hear it, it's not my calculation, if you want to believe that this is the will of heaven, let's call it a cat.

"The strange thing is that after I changed my nickname, I became able to eat, drink, run and jump, and my body grew stronger."

Wang Mingming said: "A person's nickname can't be too expensive, and the life of a cat or a dog is big." When I was born, it was the first snow in the world, and I was a girl, and my grandmother said that this year's snow came early, and the eldest daughter was easy to marry early, so she was called Xue'er. Looks like I'm going to get married early. ”

The yellow cat said: "I believe that there are handsome guys pursuing now." ”

Wang Mingming said: "If you want to die a yellow cat, you dare to say this." Take it back. Otherwise, I'll ignore you. ”

The yellow cat said, "Oh, Mingzi, don't be angry. Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about nicknames. ”

Wang Mingming said: "This is good." My brother's name is Gou'er, and my sister's name is Hua'er, which means Hanako, and when my mother gave birth to her, she happened to be called Hanako to ask for food. My grandmother said it was a good sign, so let's call it flowers."

The yellow cat sent Wang Mingming to the school gate, she beckoned for a private car and said to the driver, "Go to the Maigaoqiao bus station." After saying that, she handed over a ticket and said, "That's enough." ”

The driver nodded and said that it was not necessary, and I would give change when I turned around.

Wang Mingming hurriedly said: "What's the matter, what are you doing here, I don't want you to pay." Driver, give her the money back. "The driver didn't let go when he got the money.

The yellow cat couldn't help but push her into the car and said, "Mingzi, you get in the car, be careful on the road." Stay safe. Don't strike up a conversation with strangers. ”

Wang Ming had no choice, she had to accept the enthusiasm of the yellow cat. said: "Yellow cat, thank you, I know this road well." Don't worry, go back quickly, I'll be back for class early Monday morning. ”

Wang Mingming arrived at the Maigaoqiao bus station, the station is not big, and there are several buses gathered here. The station is crowded with people on the train. People who do small businesses on the side of the road shout and wave banana fans.

Wang Mingming got out of the car, and the driver gave her the change. She ordered some money, and the driver didn't overcharge her. She said to the driver satisfied, "Thank you." ”

The driver said, "You have been in my car, and you will call me next time you use the car." Wang Mingming smiled and nodded.

A classmate named Zhao Jiafa ran to her and said, "Wang Mingming, you are here, I am here to see you." ”

Wang Mingming was surprised with an "oops", and she asked him: "Fazi, it's so hot, how did you come here after such a long journey, and when did you come?" ”

Wang Mingming and he met at last year's school sports meeting. On that day, she and Huang Mao were waiters at the sports meeting service desk, and their specific job was to hand towels to the runners and turn on the water.

She and the yellow cat ran around serving several groups of athletes in the 100-meter race. They had been busy for a while and had just sat down to rest, and the 400-meter final was over.

The yellow cat hurriedly poured boiling water for the athletes, Wang Mingming stepped forward to give the athletes a towel, the athletes took the towel and wiped the sweat on their faces, and they returned the towel to her.

The athlete who finally gave her towel asked her, "Thank you." What grade are you in?" He smiled kindly at her.

Wang Mingming took the towel and said, "I'm in the second class of the first grade. She put the towel in the basket.

The athlete said: "I am in the second class of the second grade, my name is Zhao Jiafa, and my nickname is Fazi." You call me hair, this number is easy to remember, you have to remember me. ”

Wang Mingming thought this person was quite interesting. She smiled at him and said, "Good to remember." Don't worry, I won't forget you. She asked him again, "Do you have water?" I'll send it to you right away. ”

The yellow cat ran over and handed the tea to Zhao Jiafa and said, "Fazi, you eat tea, I'm too busy, I didn't see the final just now." On your terms, it will definitely be the first place. I congratulate you. Happy for you. ”

She pulled Wang Mingming and said, "Fazi, her name is Wang Mingming." It's my classmate, we're good friends. You and your best friend don't bully her. Let me tell you, her nickname is Akiko. Remember. ”

Zhao Jiafa said: "Mingzi." It's a good name to remember. I remembered. Akiko is your friend, and it's my friend. Everyone is a classmate, and they will definitely care about each other, don't worry. Thank you for your service, and I'll treat you to a movie another day. He turned and walked away.

Wang Mingming looked at his distant back curiously: he was tall, with a straight and sturdy waist, and he walked very energetically.

Sixteen: We are Jinling daughters

After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, the students jumped on the chairs one after another to speak. A girl jumped on a chair and said, "Students, I am a classmate in the first and second classes of high school. ”

The yellow cat was surprised and said, "What a flower!" She pulled Wang Mingming forward. He Hua grew stout and sturdy, tall with two thick braids. She stood in a chair and looked very imposing.

She looked at the crowd with big eyes and said, "My classmates all know that my family lives in a mansion in the deep alleys in the south of the city. I was raised by the Qinhuai River, and I spoke Nanjing. I am the daughter of Jinling, the beautiful capital of China.

"But I was born at the foot of Changbai Mountain in the Northeast, I am from the Northeast, and I am a girl from Shenyang, the Northeast.

"My home is in a small mountain villa at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the beautiful stream in spring brings me sweet mountain snow water. In autumn, the granary is full of soybeans and sorghum.

"I remember my father and his fellow villagers returning from hunting on a snowy day, eating barbecue around the bonfire, and holding fragrant sorghum wine to wish each other good health.

"On the bloody day of 918, the plane of the Japanese devils bombed my beautiful village, and my family escaped from the flames.

My father clenched his fists in anger, and my mother shed tears of hatred. My grandmother gave my parents two shotguns from the house. They participated in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, picked up guns and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

"My brother and I also had to go to war with our parents. We're going to kill devils. Grandma held her brother in one hand and said in the other, and when you grow up, grandma will send you to kill devils.

"My grandmother took me and my brother into exile, and we were like leaves falling from a big tree and drifting alone to Nanjing.

"The people of Nanjing have not forgotten us, and we have settled down with the help of our compatriots in Nanjing. I'm growing up day by day.

"My parents died fighting the devils. The hatred of the country and the family motivates me to study hard. I wiped away my tears, inherited my parents' will, and became an anti-Japanese youth, and I wanted to fight for the expulsion of Japanese invaders and the recovery of Northeast China.

"Today, the gunfire of the Japanese devils pierced the night sky on July 7, and the Japanese Empire launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. I am determined to fight the devil to the end.

"The gunfire of the 29th Route Army against the Japanese bandits is an order, the great motherland is calling to me, I will pick up the gun and fight for China.

"I will defend my country with my youth and blood! Resolutely drive the Japanese devils out of China. The flames of anti-Japanese resistance have been ignited, and the peaceful and silent city of Nanjing has become a sea of anger.

"Jinling daughters, the country needs us to defend, and the mother needs us to kill the enemy. The time has come for us to be tested, let us resolutely resist Japan with fighting, resist Japan! Anti-Japanese!. ”

A burst of angry slogans passed, Wang Mingming and the yellow cat excitedly stepped forward to hold the lotus's hand, and the yellow cat said, "He Hua." What a quiet classmate you usually are. You are not only a big man in the north, but you are also a brave young man in the capital.

"You said well, you are the daughter of Jinling, I admire you. We are all young people from the capital, daughters of Jinling, and we should be a model for the anti-Japanese youth in the whole country.

"The Japanese bandits can destroy everything we have, but they can't destroy our determination to resist the war and our confidence in victory.

"As long as the blood in our hearts is still boiling, we will definitely be able to fight until the day of victory in the War of Resistance."

Wang Mingming said: "Lotus, you are not a lonely falling leaf, you are our daughter of Jinling." We are both Jinling daughters. We will always be together to unite against Japan,

"I want to learn from you to face the war bravely and be an anti-Japanese youth. I want to participate in the march, distribute leaflets, and arouse the people to resolutely resist Japan. ”

The parade began, and Wang Mingming and the yellow cat lotus stood in the procession together, and they angrily shouted slogans and walked outside the school.

It was already noon when she returned from the march, and the king was obviously so tired that she slept without eating. When I woke up, it was almost dinner.

The school is asking students to return to normal classes. Demonstrations and anti-Japanese propaganda were to be carried out after class. The homeroom teacher and He Hua hadn't been to school for a long time, and they were asking everywhere for their news, and no one knew where they had gone.

The new homeroom teacher came to the class to meet with the students, and the students asked the new homeroom teacher where they went, and the new homeroom teacher said that he didn't know, and said that the principal was clear, but he didn't say.

During the recess, Huang Mao took a leaflet to Wang Mingming, she said: "Chairman Mao of Yan'an sent a telegram to the whole country to support the anti-Japanese action of the 29th Route Army on the second day of the July 7 Incident. He advocated waging a nationwide battle against the Japanese invaders.

"Look at it, it's very inspiring to read. Well worth a look. ”

Wang Mingming looked at it and said: "Yellow cat, do you remember, during the Xi'an Incident last year, Zhang Xueliang admonished Chiang Kai-shek, and the Nanjing government became a mess.

At that time, some people supported and some opposed, some advocated sending planes to bomb, some advocated sending troops to encircle and suppress, and for a while people panicked and thought that the world was going to be in chaos.

"The homeroom teacher asked us not to panic, she said that she had read Chairman Mao's article, and this person was amazing. See things far, see deeply, see through. He is a person who puts the country first and the people first.

The teacher also said that Zhou Enlai had flown to Xi'an, and he used to be the director of the Whampoa Military Academy and was also a great figure. They will not allow civil strife in China. Believe in them.

Later, Yan'an's handling of the Xi'an Incident was supported by the people of the whole country. The people of the world breathed a sigh of relief.

"The chairman of the Yan'an Unity Committee unanimously resisted Japan, and they sent people to participate in the work of the central government. They did this for one purpose, to resist Japan and save China.

"The teacher said that they were prophetic saints. It is the savior of China's toiling masses and the hope of China's future. ”

Huang Mao said: "At the beginning of the school year, the homeroom teacher and I had a separate chat, and she said that the future of China is in Yan'an, and she wants to go to Yan'an. The family disagreed and asked her to teach with peace of mind.

"I said that the teacher would go to Yan'an and bring me with me. She smiled and shook her head. Now the homeroom teacher and the lotus don't know where to go. I have a lot of questions for her. ”

Wang Mingming said: "The leaflet said that the Lugou Bridge Incident was the beginning of Japan's all-out war of aggression against China, and the purpose of the Japanese devils was to destroy China. My understanding is still to come.

"The government held a meeting in Lushan on the 11th to start preparations for war, which shows that the war will burn to the whole country. That is to say, it will hit Nanjing. If the devil wants to die in China, he must first die in Nanjing. Because this is the capital of China. ”

The yellow cat said: "According to your statement, the war will really reach Nanjing, what should we do if little Japan calls." Whether to go to war or go into exile.

"The teacher told every patriotic youth to take practical actions to support the front line and resolutely resist Japan. I really want to be a soldier and fight the devil face to face.

"My family disagreed, they said that the state did not require students to join the army, and students could study with peace of mind.

"I listen to the family. If the war really reaches Nanjing, it will not be too late for me to shoot devils with guns at that time, and it is incumbent on me to defend Nanjing and the capital. ”
