"Xiaoping Trail" is located in the tractor repair plant of Zhuangyuan Xinjian County, Wangcheng Province, Xinjian District, Nanchang City, about 10 kilometers away from Nanchang City. This was formerly known as Xinjian County Tractor Repair Factory, which is the place where the great man worked and lived from October 1969 to February 1973, and is also the germination place of the important ideas of China's reform and opening up and China's modernization.
In the last century of reform and opening up, this handicraft workshop-style new county tractor repair plant could not withstand the pressure of market competition and had long ceased production. It stands to reason that the real estate chamber of commerce will enter the station, demolish the old and build the new. However, the fate of the new county tractor repair plant is somewhat special, demolishing the old and building the old, and the factory still retains the appearance of the early 70s of the last century, which all depends on a life in Jiangxi.
On October 26, 1969, **, together with his wife Zhuo Lin and stepmother Xia Bogen, parachuted from Beijing to Jiangxi, and was evacuated to Wangchenggang, Xinjian County, to accept labor reform. According to the arrangement of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, he should go to the remote Ganzhou, and under the personal interrogation of the Prime Minister, he was finally arranged to be in the Xinjian County Tractor Repair Factory near Nanchang and began his life as a worker for 3 years and 4 months.
During this period, Xiaoping and his wife walked to the factory every morning to work, and in the afternoon they learned Xi and did some housework in the "Xiaoping Building". The ridge trail that Xiaoping and his wife passed by, the workers affectionately called it "Xiaoping Trail", from which "Xiaoping Trail" came.
The "Xiaoping Trail" exhibition hall is divided into three parts: Xiaoping Building, Xiaoping Trail and Xiaoping Workshop. On the side of the gate of the exhibition hall, there are four golden characters "Xiaoping Xiaodao" erected, and there are three portrait prints scattered on the east side of the gate. Obviously, the Xiaoping trail here is not exactly the concept of a road, but a portrayal of the overall situation of working and living in the new construction.
The Xiaoping Trail Exhibition Hall is facing the gate, which displays the precious ** and physical objects during the period in Jiangxi. The entrance of the exhibition hall is a sculpture of the exchange with several workers, and there is an enlarged article "In the days of Jiangxi" behind the statue of *** in the museum, which is the article of *** daughter Mao Mao published in the "People**" to commemorate that period of time, as a gift to *** to bury the feelings in the bottom of my heart, with a simple style in the newspaper red criticism: "I read the truth of the writing".
**At that time, he lived in the "General Building" of the Nanchang Infantry School, which is now called the building of Xiaopinglou, which is a small gray two-story brick and wood structure, which was originally the residence of Major General Xu Guangyou, the principal of the Nanchang Infantry School of the Fuzhou Military Region, also known as the "General Building", which was built in the 50s of the 20th century with a construction area of 440 square meters. There are 6 rooms upstairs, and there are two private rooms on the left and right in addition to the hall downstairs. **The family lives upstairs, and the managing secretary and security guard Wong Man-wah and other management personnel live downstairs. There are holly trees more than one person high around the small building, a bamboo fence on the inside, pine trees, peach trees, laurels, gardenias, plum blossoms, camellias, grapes, etc. in the yard, and there is a small firewood house behind the building.
The exhibition hall was purpose-built, but the other buildings in the precincts were preserved as they were. The slogans of that era on the façade are intact. Such as "Dazhai of Agriculture, Daqing of Industry", "Love I Love, **Support Me Support,**Instruction I Do It, **Wave My Hand and I Move Forward", the brand of the times is clearly visible.
If the living conditions are not bad, the working environment and conditions are indeed a little difficult for the former leader, the 65-year-old man, who had to do the work of ordinary workers at that time, cleaned the oil stains of the parts in the workshop at the beginning, and soaked his hands in water for a long time, resulting in cracking. Later, he arranged to be a fitter, and he did his job well, and he laughed at himself and said that he laid the foundation when he was working in France. The operating table and tools used for the work in the factory are retained as they are.
During their stay in Jiangxi, the couple established a deep relationship with the workers, taking care of and helping each other, and the exhibition hall shows many details of the couple's interaction with the workers' brothers. The workers treated this old man in distress with simple feelings, and they would not have imagined that a few years later, this old man would be able to dominate the fate of China and become the chief architect of reform and opening up.
Xiaoping Trail is a more than 500-meter ridge trail passed by *** couples. This trail is connected to the labor factory at one end, and the residence of the *** military academy at the other. The reason is that the *** couple went to work in the factory from the military school, and they had to go around a big circle from the main road, and it took more than 40 minutes to walk. This is time-consuming and unsafe. In order to take care of the factory, a small door was opened on the earthen wall behind the factory, and a shortcut path was paved along the barren slope and ridge. Since no one else took this road, this road became the exclusive road of ***.
On this undisturbed ordinary country road, the shipwrecked *** thinks not only about the fate of the individual every day, but also about the future of the entire country and nation. In the reflection day after day, he drew up the prototype of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The only way that can be walked on this path today is about 100 meters between the outside of the museum and the military academy, and there are wasteland and vegetable fields on both sides of the road, and the staff said that the vegetable fields were developed later. On this path, we have walked out of a road of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, and reforming and opening up with our own solid and steady steps. So that the vast majority of the Chinese people have received tangible benefits.
At the beginning, a family of three lived here, and later, the whole family gathered here, in that special era, the whole family can be reunited safely is a kind of happiness, so the Deng family has a deep affection for this land, when the museum opened in 2008, Mrs. Zhuo Lin sent a congratulatory letter, saying that "Jiangxi, Nanchang, Xinjian is a place we can never forget." The deep friendship of the workers and masters of the tractor factory still warms our hearts to this day." The descendants of the Deng family have visited this place many times. In the factory building opposite the labor workshop, his eldest daughter Deng Lin visited the "Xiaoping Trail" and donated more than 100 photographs, which greatly enriched the content of the "Xiaoping Trail". In July 2003, Deng Lin donated 114 precious photos of her father to the memorial hall.
**During his stay in Jiangxi, he was deprived of his political rights and could not attend political meetings. The conference room in the factory is not open to ***, and the only meeting I attended was to convey ** event documents. After the "9 13" incident, ***, who had a keen sense of politics, saw hope and opportunities, and sent a letter to *** in time "I hope to do some work for the party one day", and soon came back again, ending his more than three-year working career.
**In his later years, he once commented that *** is soft and rigid, with needles hidden in the cotton, a little kind on the outside, and a steel company on the inside. In the face of adversity, always maintain revolutionary optimism, be able to bend and stretch, persistently target, and never give up, this is the outstanding point of the great man, otherwise, the glorious development path of China's reform and opening up may be another version.
**'s life, loyal to faith, concerned about the people, grasp the overall situation, struggle, not arrogant in good times, not discouraged in adversity, let us appreciate a great Marxist has no regrets, loyal to ideals and beliefs, not arrogant and impatient, looking down on honor and disgrace, tenacious and resolute to fight adversity in life, optimistic and confident life pattern.
