In the early 30s of the last century, in order to encircle and suppress the Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized warlord troops across the country many times, and even hired a large number of foreign affairs advisers, and also purchased various advanced aircraft, tanks and artillery all over the world, so the Chinese revolution also received the attention of all sectors of society.
Mr. Lu Xun, who has maintained a high degree of concern about Chinese society, is naturally very concerned about the fate of the Red Army, and even wants to write a ** for the Red Army and shout for the Red Army.
However, to write **, we must first collect a lot of materials and master all aspects of information, such as the spiritual outlook of the Red Army officers and soldiers, heroic deeds, and even the geographical environment and local customs of the battlefield.
Coincidentally, the Red Army is actually trying to contact Lu Xun, hoping that he can help the Red Army through his own pen, and it is the famous Chen Geng who can achieve this task.
In 1932, when Chen Geng was commanding the Red Army to fight, he was shot in the leg and secretly entered Shanghai.
Chen Geng is a well-known "joker", and his ability to tell stories is very strong, especially the battle he commanded, which is described with climaxes and wonderful, so that everyone is immersed in the scene and listened to it as if they were fascinated.
After Chen Geng finished speaking, everyone was still unsatisfied, and said: "It's so exciting, it's like a wonderful **!."
When Chen Geng heard this, he said:"**Okay!Why don't you write it as a **?It is to let more people know how the Red Army fought for the people!”
So, who will write this **?It is necessary not only to have good writing, but also to be influential, but also to stand on the standpoint of the proletariat, and after discussion, everyone finally unanimously decided that this task belongs to Mr. Lu Xun!
Chen Geng was also very excited and said:"If I can let Mr. Lu Xun write it, I will be lucky for three lives!”
After settling down, everyone began to find a way to contact Lu Xun, and first found Lu Xun's protégé, Feng Xuefeng, who is also a member of our party.
After Feng Xuefeng learned the news, he was also very supportive, so he immediately contacted Lu Xun, and Lu Xun also welcomed him, and he decided to meet Chen Geng at his home.
Lu Xun's home was located on the North Sichuan Road in the French Concession of Shanghai, and because this was the French Concession, many of the people living there were foreigners, so the reactionary spies did not dare to blatantly search for it.
On this day, Chen Geng dressed up carefully, put on a robe, a top hat, and gold-wire glasses, looking like a literati and scholar, and came to Lu Xun's house under the leadership of Feng Xuefeng.
Lu Xun and his wife Xu Guangping cordially received them, and after a few cold shouts, they quickly entered the topic and asked Chen Geng to introduce the situation in the Soviet area.
Chen Geng is a hundred clever people, and he has no stage fright in front of Lu Xun, describing the scenes of the Red Army soldiers fighting bravely vividly, speaking of excitement, he also imitates the appearance of the Red Army soldiers in the living room, shouting battle slogans loudly while running, so that Lu Xun and Xu Guangping are also immersive.
When talking about the deep love between the people in the Soviet area and the Red Army, Chen Geng also told a true story, saying that after a Red Army soldier was wounded, he hid in the homes of ordinary people to recuperate from his woundsThere was an unmarried girl in this family, who ignored feudal etiquette and went up to hold the arm of the wounded and said, "This is my man, who fell and injured himself when he went up the mountain to collect firewood." The reactionaries left.
After hearing this, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping both said that this girl is too rare and worthy of publicity!
Unconsciously, it was already noon, Xu Guangping arranged for the servants to make a very sumptuous meal to entertain Chen Geng, Lu Xun also took out a bottle of brandy that had been treasured for a long time, and during the banquet, Chen Geng talked about a lot of interesting things, which made Lu Xun greatly admired.
This meeting stimulated Lu Xun's desire to create, and he was ready to write a novella to introduce the real situation of the Red Army.
But it is a pity that just when Lu Xun was about to start writing, the Chinese revolution fell into a predicament again, first Chen Geng**, and then the temporary ** in Shanghai also suffered major damage due to the betrayal of traitors, Shanghai fell into a white terror, and later, due to the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression, the Red Army began to shift its strategy again......
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also stepped up the suppression of left-wing cultural figures, and Lu Xun was inevitably threatened and interfered with even in the French Concession, so his description of the Red Army was delayed.
What's more regrettable is that on October 19, 1936, just when the Red Army was about to usher in a turning point, Lu Xun died of illness, and his desire to write a ** article for the Red Army was not realized in the end.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Lu Xun Memorial Hall was established, Chen Geng once went to visit, found a map of the Red Army treasured by Lu Xun, Chen Geng looked at it carefully, and said with emotion:"This is the map I drew for Mr. Lu Xun back then, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu Xun to keep it all the time, which shows that he is very affectionate towards the Red Army!”
