In the history of the Chinese nation, there is one of the darkest periods, which is at a critical juncture of national crisis and national survival. However, it was at this time that groups of heroic sons and daughters appeared, including soldiers who fought bloody battles on the battlefield, revolutionary martyrs who regarded death as home, national heroes who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and unknown soldiers and civilians of the War of Resistance.
They used their bodies and lives to create a magnificent epic of the Anti-Japanese War.
The heroic deeds on the banks of the Uskhon River will always be remembered in people's hearts. In October 1938, more than 100 troops of the First Division of the 5th Army of the Northeast Coalition Army were blocked by the Ushun River and were surrounded and intercepted by the enemy.
In order to protect the team and the division commander, the members of the women's regiment chose to shoot at the enemy troops, revealing their whereabouts to attract fire. They succeeded, but in the end only eight female fighters remained.
In the face of the enemy's forced surrender, they chose to jump into the icy Uskhon River and died on the road of revolution. Although the river flooded their bodies, the Internationale they sang before they died still echoed in their ears: "The blood is boiling, and we must fight for the truth!"
Their heroic spirit will always be remembered.
A group sculpture of eight women cast into the river was completed in Jiangbin Park in Mudanjiang City, designed by Zhang Dehua and Situ Zhaoguang, professors of China's ** Academy of Fine Arts. The heroic deeds of these eight female revolutionaries and politicians have inspired generations of Chinese sons and daughters, and their spirits have been immortalized for generations to come.
There are many heroes in Chinese history, in addition to the "Eight Women Throwing into the River", there are also "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain", "Liu Laozhuang Company" and "Eight Hundred Heroes". These heroic sacrifices are not the end, but a new beginning.
With their lives and enthusiasm, they have shaped the national integrity of the Chinese sons and daughters who regard death as if they were at home and are not afraid of the worst, as well as the patriotic spirit of hating the same enemy and resisting foreign enemies together. "Honesty is both brave and martial, and in the end it is strong and invincible.
The body is dead, and the soul is resolute. ”
When you betray yourself and your beliefs, you also betray others. - Singh.
Guan Shufan, who was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but after the Western Expedition in 1938, even after surrendering, he still wore enemy uniforms and went up the mountain to persuade him to surrender. However, his defection to the enemy this time was not sincere, but"Fake surrender"。
His actions are shocking and incomprehensible. At a critical moment for the survival of the country, when the war was urgent, he triggered such a wind of surrender.
Guan Shufan devoted his life to resisting foreign enemies, but he was eventually defeated by negligence and forced to accept the punishment of being shot. After **, he repented, wept bitterly, confessed his mistakes, and confessed his dealings with the enemy and the information he revealed.
Fortunately, our troops quickly moved at a critical moment and avoided even greater losses. Why Guan Shufan collapsed at the last minute, we don't know. Perhaps it was his wavering faith, his intimidation by the enemy's intimidation, his fear that our army would be wiped out at the end of the war, his desire to survive, his desire to preserve his forces, his troops to survive, and the day when they could stand up again.
In order to defend the homeland and the continuation of the nation, the martyrs resolutely resisted foreign enemies, and 40,000 compatriots united as one to resist foreign enemies and resolutely defend the country. However, Guan Shufan said lightly, "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood", which shook the patriotic beliefs forged by the ancestors with blood, and also destroyed his own beliefs and pursuits.
This filled his life with remorse and regret. However, eight heroic women died heroically by the river, giving their lives to protect us, never knowing that the people they were desperately trying to protect would betray the country.
This makes us deeply saddened by their sacrifices.
Although death is inevitable in life, some people die heavier than Mount Tai, and some people die lighter than a feather. Sima Qian once pointed out that some people betrayed their compatriots and left their families, and the crimes they committed were so serious that they could not be described in words, and they would only be spurned from generation to generation and left a stench for thousands of years.
For example, Yang Jingning's guards and machine gunners, these treacherous people, how serious their crimes were, they abandoned the backbone of the nation, gave up the belief in the country, and used the flesh and blood of their compatriots to ensure their own safety, which is really heartbreaking.
Yang Jingyu has also had betrayers, which is regrettable, such as Guan Shufan. Before the "Eight Women Surrendered to the River", how could he not be a hero who bravely faced the torture of the enemy? If fate hadn't changed, he could have become a real hero.
It's just that the loss of faith made him begin to doubt himself, but in the end he repented and reduced the losses of our army as much as possible. That period of history was full of blood and tears, Cheng Bin, Guan Shufan and other traitors were not a few, and there were also nearly 100 division-level generals in the Northeast Coalition Army, who were compatriots who once shed their blood for the country, but in the end betrayed the country.
Among these many rebels, those national heroes who have always adhered to their own positions and beliefs are particularly valuable. The heroes of the Anti-Japanese War embody the national integrity of perseverance and unyielding death, the patriotic feelings of the rise and fall of the world and the responsibility of the husband, as well as the heroic spirit of sacrificing one's life for righteousness and fighting to the end.
They have unswerving faith to the death, one after another, tenacious resistance, and played countless heroic songs of majestic mountains and rivers. Lu Xun once said: "China has always lacked heroes who failed, lacked tenacious resistance, lacked warriors who fought alone, and lacked hangers who dared to soothe traitors."
Because it is lacking, it is precious. ”
The deeds of the eight heroines of "eight women throwing themselves into the river" are the spirit of General Yang Jingning's "head can be cut off and dissected, and the spirit of martyrdom is difficult to dissipate", it is Jiang Zhuyun's eternal life in the flames, it is the famous martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is also the spirit of thousands of unknown soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War.
They used their flesh and blood to build history, and intertwined their tears and blood into a fluttering five-star red flag.
