The summer of 2001, I accompanied a friend from Fuzhou to Jinggangshan travel.
Coming down from the huangyangjie to get off at junction Maoping go look inside, reportedly about four li. Granny the two of us "old lady hair Juvenile crazy talk", carrying his luggage went to Chui. The sun is enough to poison the old liberated areas, the drying friends flushed, sweating. On the road with pedestrians do not have, but fortunately we have the Lao Di camping zipper, or can be adhered to. Being walked in front of a passing jeep stopped. Swept our driver stuck his head shouted: "Yes to Maoping it?" I said: "Yes ah!" He said: "Come on, I'll take you one way." Oh! Really Xicongtianjiang, we rushed to got on. In the car, friends, big hair with emotion: "Well the people or the old liberated areas." Driver said: "The days of hot, I was empty, Shun Piandai you a way." Drivers feel nothing, but in the city, at no cost? How long has never been a stranger's car? At least a decade, right?
By Mau Ping. After breaking up with the driver, my friends and I talk, to go first to a good place to eat. Along the path, and found a few of the farmhouse, I shouted: "Some people do?" The first no. Then the second and shouting, there are two old. To consult with them, I would like a meal in their homes, and we pay the meal, the price they will. Old agreed. Said that a good two hours to have dinner. We put luggage on the elderly, the Red Army went to visit the Mau Ping Hospital, Xie Ancestral Hall (that is, the Octagon), we only want to look for the remains of Yuan, but it was not enough time.
Back to the elderly, seniors have been doing for four dishes and one soup. A bowl of duck, a bowl of Pork, a dish of fried beans, a small green vegetables, a pot towel gourd bowl of soup. Too right appetite. For the elderly so that we eat, we said one to eat. Tuirang trying to get the two old people sat down with us one. His living room is I do not know when to gather a lot of neighbors, and we chatted with them while eating side. They said Maoping have not yet fully resolved the problem of food and clothing, as well as a one-year difference with a three-month rations. Old son said they are hard-working, not only food enough food to eat, but also a little savings they have and the separation of the other children too, so much a married couple to live on their estates, if we do not go, you can stay overnight at his house. Chatting with the villagers, talking, feeling, we seem to back to the past. I thought: more than 70 years ago, Chairman Mao and Ho Jane Yongxin pond in the village to conduct investigations is of such a scenario is not it?
The rise of eating, I took out bought in a bottle of red wine Ciping invited two elderly people a taste of the old people out of the Liquor brewed invites us to drink a little. Elderly Liquor good drink, I do not know what herbs to use foam, and a hint of longan sweet people food for thought. Is really better than not know, I had felt Jing-gang red wine taste good, and the elderly Liquor a ratio of the par.
After dinner, friends pay. Did not expect the elderly say no money, how we say that line, the elderly say that the bar to the two quick money, friends come up with 40 yuan of money, the elderly do not, friends, again reduced to 20 yuan, the elderly, or not. Push her away, and friends put down the 20 yuan left, did not expect the elderly to recover out along the trail, has been catch up on the road, saying that poor Andrew Road, where you spend away from home more to spend on the road, or Retention . After much work, older people reluctantly accept it had 10 per hour. 70s of last century, we are camping in northern Fujian zippers blend of fish and water when the scenes of soldiers and civilians, we again experienced a Maoping back. That scenario has been with us a long absence, over 30 years.
Maoping out of the way from friends, emotional. I told my friend said: "This is the reason I like to Jinggangshan, its history, its culture, can make a person's soul purification, sublimation of feelings, emotions calm. Watching them, and my heart would feel ashamed. In real life unsatisfactory in that it will take to heart the things of the Fang Dexia. "
