In order to inherit and carry forward the revolutionary spirit, review history and bear in mind the mission, on 4th July, a group of 40 people from the general Party branch of Anqing Foreign Language School went out in the rain and headed for Rock Temple, the site-memorial of headquarters of the New Fourth Army with a long history of revolution to explore the touching revolutionary stories one by one.
To begin with, the former site of the Rock Temple army headquarters of the New Fourth Army is located in Kim Compound, Yinshan Lane, Rock Temple town in Huizhou District of the scenic Huangshan City. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are rows of Hui-style residential houses with fresh and elegant buildings. The memorial hall of the former site of the army headquarters of Rock Temple New Fourth Army is not only one of the important memorial halls of the five important military memorial sites of the New Fourth Army, but also the staging area of the guerrilla forces of the eight provinces in the south. In October 1937, Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached an agreement to transform the red army and guerrillas in the eight southern provinces into the New Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army (New Fourth Army), with Ye Ting as Chief of the army and Xiang Ying as Political Commissar and Deputy Chief of the army. On 5th April, 1938, the army headquarters of the New Fourth Army were moved from Nanchang to Rock Temple, where the army headquarters worked, organized and directed the red army guerrillas from 14 areas in the eight southern provinces for concentration, rectification, training as well as accepted the inspection of Kuomintang's third war zone. After being reorganized into the New Fourth Army, they went to the anti-Japanese front. Therefore, the Rock Temple became the concentration site of the eight provinces of red army guerrillas, the military site of the New Fourth Army in addition to the battle site of the eastward Anti-Japanese War.
To be specific, the first part of the activity was to visit the memorial hall which is divided into six parts: the lobby, the gathering of the rock temple, the pledge to the east, the love between the army and people, the Anti-Japanese War and the inheritance of the iron army. The memorial hall mainly displays the glorious history of the New Fourth Army in the Rock Temple. The party members listened carefully to the narrator's introduction of the New Fourth Army in each stage of the major events, combat process, assembly scenes and the significance of the reorganization. The New Fourth Army ignited the fire of Anti-Japanese War in the Rock Temple, which provided historical witness for history education, patriotism education, revolutionary tradition education and national defense education. Here we had the glorious footsteps of the revolutionists Ye Ting, Chen Yi and other comrades. What will never fade away is the New Fourth Army soldiers' selfless, fearless, indomitable spirit and their patriotic enthusiasm to shed blood and save the motherland, which is also the most typical teaching materials to educate people at present and in the future.
'I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China and support her program... 'The second part of the activity is the party membership swearing-in ceremony of a probationary party member Zhao Xinlong. The loud and clear oath rang through the hall and all the old party members witnessed this solemn moment. After the oath, probationary party member Zhao Xinlong expressed his determination to measure himself by a high standard, be cautious and conscientious, give full play to the exemplary role of party members and accept the supervision of the masses.
Finally, general Party branch secretary Sun Yijun made a speech in which she first congratulated comrade Zhao Xinlong and solemnly told him that joining the party was not only an honor, but also a responsibility. Meanwhile, she stressed that both the old and new party members should be strict with themselves, never forget the original intention, give play to the exemplary role of party members and endeavor to become qualified party members in the new era.
On the whole, the heavy rain outside could not dampen each party member's enthusiasm for red education. Although the event has ended, everyone's fiery heart showcased that they would bear in mind the mission in that they would strive hard to be qualified party members in the new era!
