When I wanted to build a martyr's cemetery, the eunuch who guarded the tomb refused: Force me to have no way out?
Babaoshan, a well-known landmark in the world, is like a treasure of China, nicknamed'Miniature Zhongnanhai', however, there is a veil of mystery behind it. In 1949, under the order of the prime minister, the revolutionary cemetery was carefully selected by Wu Han and others, and settled in Babaoshan.
However, this land was once secretly created into a seclusion by a group of Qing Dynasty relics. When ** intervenes in land acquisition, how will their reactions and actions reveal this unknown chapter of history? "
In the late autumn evening of 1949, the prime minister, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country, took a walk in Zhongnanhai, and the secretaries were concerned and reminded that busyness was no longer the urgency of wartime, but he said with a firm gaze:"The sacrifices of the martyrs have brought a new life, and we must work hard to build in order to be worthy of their contributions. "
He stopped, staring at the water, his thoughts profound. The secretaries silently guarded, knowing that the prime minister's thoughts were all about national affairs. The next day, Wu Han, deputy mayor of Beijing, came by appointment, and the premier's smile contained solemnity, and he got straight to the point:"Do you know why I summoned you? "
Wu Han guessed, but did not expect that the topic pointed to the important task of preparing for the construction of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
In the face of the Prime Minister's profound insight and sincere words, ** and Wu Han were slightly surprised, although they did not say anything, their hearts have been understood by the Prime Minister's sharp eyes. The Prime Minister is well aware of the importance of this and stressed that even at the beginning of the country, we must not ignore the pioneers who contributed to the revolution, reminding us not to forget our original aspirations and not to let victory carry away.
His voice was full of emotion, and his choked throat revealed firmness, and the prime minister put forward harsh requirements for the location of the cemetery: close to the urban area, convenient transportation, quiet environment, not intrusion on farmland, taking into account people's livelihood, but also pay attention to greening, and improve the surrounding environment.
After speaking, the prime minister personally entrusted it, and the strength of the handshake was full of deep respect for the families of the martyrs. Wu Han, who was deeply entrusted by the premier, held the premier's hand tightly, and his heart was surging, knowing the great mission of this task.
When he returned to the city, he immediately took action, convened a meeting on the same day, set up a preparatory team for the revolutionary cemetery, and devoted himself to the land investigation work in Beijing, determined to live up to the trust of the prime minister and ensure that the resting place of the martyrs is perfectly presented.
In the western suburbs of the Three Kings' Tomb, a group of cadres with torch-like eyes are busy climbing the mountains, looking for the ideal place in the prime minister's heart - it is not an ordinary way to find a way, but respect and responsibility for history.
The previous expedition did not meet the requirements, and even the seemingly inconspicuous tomb of the Three Kings was denied due to the flat terrain. However, Yu Xinqing's discovery is like a ray of light: the lush woods below the mountain may be the answer.
The mysterious place he asked about was Babao Mountain, an ancestral hall that carried honor and history, commonly known as the Eunuch Temple, which was once a refuge for the eunuchs in the palace. Although this place was once ruled out due to the relocation problem, Vice Mayor Wu Han's interest was ignited and he decided to do it.
Two jeeps galloped on the path leading to Babao Mountain, attracting the attention and curiosity of the eunuchs in the temple.
In the twenties and thirties of the last century, when Wu Han and his entourage arrived at the Baozhong Huguo Temple in Babaoshan, the eunuchs caught a glimpse of a few ** and young people with firearms, and they couldn't help but be afraid.
Stepping into the temple gate, Wu Han admired:"What a majestic place! "The curiosity of the new guard beside him about the eunuch aroused their nervousness, and Wu Han patted him on the shoulder and teased in a joking tone"Boy, what are you looking at? "
The guard asked in a low voice"Chief, are these people real eunuchs? They ......"Before he finished speaking, he blushed, showing his youthful ignorance. Wu Han was amused by his innocence and said solemnly"They are victims of the feudal system, mostly from poor families, and we must treat them equally. "
He added thoughtfully:"If there is a need to relocate, it should also be properly resettled and prejudiced against it. "Subsequently, the team went up the mountain along the path by the temple wall, and the eunuchs secretly rejoiced, only thinking that it was a city idler traveling, and Babaoshan would write a new chapter in history from then on!
Wu Han, an ancient old eunuch in Babao Mountain, and others stepped into the sacred Huguo Temple under the leadership of a senior eunuch. Moved by the enthusiasm and affinity of Wu Han and his team, the veteran eunuch no longer felt the pressure from above, but opened his heart and shared the history and anecdotes of Huguo Temple in vivid detail.
They strolled through the temple and listened to the old eunuch tell the far-reaching story of Babao Mountain in a picturesque manner. Yu Xinqing carefully observed and found that the temple has a beautiful environment, no need to encroach on farmland, and the transportation is convenient, which is completely in line with the vision of the temple.
After a round trip, the smiles of the members of the delegation were full of satisfaction, and the hard work of many days seemed to have paid off. In the end, Wu Han and other leaders strengthened their beliefs: the place to build the revolutionary cemetery was Babaoshan!
Be sure to treasure: the story of the loyal guardian in the memory of the ancient temple - the eunuch Xin Xiuming. This Taoist priest in his 50s, who had given up his family for the wealth of the court, believed in Xiuming, after becoming a eunuch, with his unique talent, gave Baozhong Huguo Temple artistic vitality, and painted exquisite murals by himself dotted every inch of space of the ancient temple.
With the changes of the Xinhai Revolution, he devoted himself to Buddhism, and in 1930 he presided over the temple and founded it"Enji Charity Preservation Association", sheltering many homeless eunuchs, giving them life security and dignity after death.
As a widow of the Qing Dynasty and a eunuch with a special status, Xin Xiuming created a peaceful haven in Baozhong Huguo Temple, accepted dozens of eunuchs, and lived a life without contention.
Until the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the temple land was fertile, peaceful and quiet, like a fairyland on earth. With his practical actions, Xin Xiuming brought real blessings to the unfortunate eunuchs.
When Wu Han and his entourage visited Babaoshan, Xin Xiuming happened to be not there. Later, when he heard the eunuchs in the temple talk about this, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
These unexpected visitors are obviously from **, although there are no valuable treasures or wealth in the Huguo Temple, just a group of displaced old eunuchs, most of whom are already frail and sick, what is the purpose of ** coming to the door?
It seems that the origin is not small. Xin Xiuming's heart was apprehensive, and it was difficult to judge for a while. However, the old eunuch replied that the visitor had no clear goal, and his attitude was amiable, and he did not put on an official show.
Upon hearing this news, Xin Xiuming was a little relieved, but still told the old eunuch that if there were any more disturbers, no matter what the reason, please expel them immediately. A few days later, Xin Xiuming was concentrating on painting in the temple when a eunuch hurriedly reported that someone was looking for him.
He didn't have time to think about it, and walked quickly to the side hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw three cadre-looking people examining the furnishings, calligraphy and paintings in the room with great interest. Xin Xiuming stepped forward to salute, and after greetings, the visitors reported to their homes, one was a suburban working group, and the other was a young man from the preparatory group of the city cemetery.
They explained their intentions straight to the point: the city ** decided to expropriate Huguo Temple and its surrounding land as a revolutionary cemetery, this time to discuss how to house eunuchs. This news was like a bolt from the blue for Xin Xiuming, and the worries in his heart finally came true.
His complexion changed suddenly, and he was speechless for a moment. After calming down for a while, he asked tentatively: "Huguo Temple has been passed down from generation to generation, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to requisition, right?" ”
Faced with New China's interpretation of land policy, the old eunuchs of Babaoshan revealed to Xin Xiuming the ownership of rights and interests. Although Shinshuming worries about the farm and the orchard, he is full of anxiety.
*'s kind offer was placating, but it did not dispel his doubts. Realizing the magnitude of the problem, Shin decided to convene everyone to discuss and deal with possible challenges.
He skillfully used information dissemination and fictional scenes where ** would be treated harshly, causing panic and heated discussions in the temple, trying to win more voice for himself.
Two days later, the arrival of the cemetery planning team in Babaoshan encountered an unexpected challenge. As soon as they sat down, and before they could feel the temperature of their chairs, the door was shaken open by a loud noise, and a group of eunuchs poured in like a tide, defending their territory: "This is the gift of the emperor, and the royal decrees must not be violated in any era!" ”
This is where our livelihood is maintained, and if you take it, how can we feed it? Do you want to go hungry? "We're not leaving, see how you solve it!" The scene cried and shouted, and even some eunuchs sat on the ground sadly, tears rippling, like an out-of-control pigsty.
Faced with this chaotic and touching scene, the planning team was helpless and ridiculous, and was helpless for a while.
Xin Xiuming was happy in his heart at this moment, so he confessed to the preparatory team in embarrassment that the problem was not him, but that everyone refused to accept it. He skillfully drove away the eunuchs outside the palace gate, closed the door, and was secretly proud of his little tricks.
He sat quietly, staring sharply at the preparatory team, thinking to himself: Let's see how you guys respond! "Has the Taoist shared the last agreement with the people? "
The members of the preparatory team asked suspiciously. Xin Xiuming was suddenly nervous, and hurriedly responded:"shared, but they didn't agree. It's their spontaneous **, and as you can see, there's nothing we can do about it.
It's tricky. "Another member asked:"What is your own position? " "Of course I will follow the guidance ...... **"There was uneasiness in his words.
Hearing this, the person who came said that he needed to give a clear reply after consulting with others, which made Xin Xiuming feel like he was on pins and needles. Aware of the critical situation, he quickly expressed his willingness to support the decision-making of **, but also stressed that key conditions such as living conditions cannot be compromised.
The other party promised to go back to study and make a decision, but Xin Xiuming's heartbeat accelerated.
After careful consideration by the municipal preparatory team, the relocation plan of the south gate of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery has finally settled. During his trip to Huguo Temple, Wu Han made a point of emphasizing the need to treat the former eunuchs with respect and care, although they were victims of hardship and feudal times, but now they are also equal members of the new society.
This change gave the eunuchs a new attitude towards the preparatory team. The preparers visited Xin Xiuming with a well-designed resettlement plan, and although the situation was settled, he could no longer change the overall situation.
With the advent of the middle of the 20th century, this obscure Babaoshan is about to bear the heavy responsibility entrusted by history and become a revolutionary cemetery, opening a new chapter. Here, the heroic stories of a hundred years of wind and rain, and the tenacious pursuit and dreams of countless outstanding sons and daughters of a nation, began to be closely condensed here.
And the glorious brilliance and mysterious charm are also quietly unveiled in Babaoshan, waiting for the world to interpret ......
