At the beginning of 1949, the good news of the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin had been reported to the Dregs Cave Detention Center, and the prisoners were very excited when they heard about it. At this time, the Spring Festival was coming, so the comrades in prison quietly discussed and decided to hold a special prison party in the courtyard of the dregs cave......”

In the introduction of the commentator Wang Can, everyone's thoughts returned to the Spring Festival 75 years ago, when the comrades successfully persuaded Huang Maocai, the guard on duty. He opened the doors of the cells in the prison, and a special Spring Festival party was held in the Dregs Cave Detention Center. The first program of the party was "The Internationale". Wang Can introduced.

In the ensuing exchange of New Year's greeting cards, the comrades in prison at that time had no materials, so they dismantled the wrapping paper of daily necessities on weekdays, made New Year's cards, wrote words of blessing, and gave them to each other. In addition to leading everyone to relive the historical story, there are also tourists who also participated in the experience of writing Spring Festival couplets in prison, writing down the Spring Festival couplets created by the revolutionary aspirants of that year, and pasting them on the door of the cell.

I hope to bring children to learn about the history of the revolutionary ancestors, so that she can cherish the hard-won happy life now. Mr. Lin's family from Jiulongpo District brought their 7-year-old daughter to the dregs cave, and after taking the children to listen to the explanation and visit the prison, Mr. Lin bluntly said that this kind of Spring Festival is very meaningful.

Wang Can said that it is the Spring Festival, and he hopes to take tourists to relive the history of 75 years ago in this way, and let everyone feel that although the martyrs are in prison, they still hold the belief that the revolution will win. "Now that the mountains and rivers are safe, we have also ushered in the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and we also want the audience not to forget the Hongyan martyrs who died here 75 years ago, and continue to inherit the precious Hongyan spirit they left back then. Wang Can said.

It is understood that the "Hongyan New Year" theme activity launched by the Hongyan Revolutionary History Museum will last until February 18. During the Spring Festival, the scenic spots under the jurisdiction of Hongyan Museum also prepared a series of activities such as writing blessing characters, cutting window flowers, revisiting the "prison party" of the revolutionary martyrs, and the narrator telling the historical story of "embroidering the red flag in prison", inviting everyone to spend a red Spring Festival holiday together.
