Reclamation by the Great Power Army: Qinglong Mountain 1958

The story outline of this chapter portrays the characters very well. The party committee was established in August 1st, and all the officers and soldiers had a backbone. They united and forged ahead, overcome all difficulties, worked hard, and built a comprehensive forestry, agriculture, and animal husbandry reclamation farm at the foot of Qinglong Mountain.

Reading this chapter, I remembered that my father once told me that when he was a boy, it was a war-torn era. Both his parents died and he became a homeless orphan. He was later adopted by his uncle and worked as a herd for the landlord's family. After liberation, he joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1955 and grew up in the army. He never went to school for a day and was uneducated. He couldn't even write his own name. He used a private seal where he signed. He took a cultural crash course in the army and transformed from an illiterate into a glorious warrior who could write his own name and understand words. In March 1958, in response to the call of the Party Central Committee to reclaim wasteland and build a new socialist mountainous area, he followed hundreds of demobilized officers and soldiers from the Jiangxi Military Region to the Qinglong Mountain area at the junction of Jiangxi and Guangdong to reclaim wasteland. In the early days of the construction of the field, there was a lack of materials and insufficient food. The officers and soldiers worked together day and night to open up a new world. During a flood season, when logging was being released, my father and his comrade-in-arms Deng Chunsheng had been soaking in the river for several hours. Suddenly, the logs being transported in the river were detached, and the current was strong and rushed directly towards Deng Chunsheng's chest and abdomen. During those difficult and difficult years, the comrades-in-arms were brothers, shared joys and sorrows, and forged a brotherly friendship. The novel weaves the vivid and touching stories of the military reclamation people with real names and real-life stories of fighting against heaven and earth, pioneering innovation, and hard work under the Qinglong Mountain into a book "The Great Power Military Reclamation - Qinglong Mountain 1958", which is presented to the general readers. It can be seen that the author collected a lot of creative materials through in-depth interviews and on-the-spot interviews, and carefully wrote a documentary history of the entrepreneurship of military reclamation people. After reading it, it is touching and admirable! Pay tribute to the military reclamation fathers!

For the opening of the road from Pitou Town in Quannan to Nanmu Town in Nanxiong County, Guangdong Province, Bayi invested manpower, material and financial resources to connect Pitou, a small mountainous town, to Guangdong. My father was a bulldozer driver. He worked day and night and overtime to build this road, opening up a broad avenue for the economic development of Bayiyi and Pitou Town.

This is a documentary novel, a microcosm of the Republic of that era!
