"Huizhou Context·West Lake" "Eight Hundreds" and Sixing Warehouse

Wen/Lu Xiaolu

In August, he returned to the cinema and watched the screening of "Eight Bai" directed by Guan Hu.

Two weeks ago, "Yubai" released the movie ending song " Suzhou Creek ", which was sung by Na Ying and Andrea Bocelli. The tune came from the Irish folk song "Londonderry Air (Londonderry), which I love very much. Minor)", like weeping like complaining.

I remembered that I wrote an article "Suzhou Riverside" before. In the article, I wrote about the love song "Suzhou Riverside" sung by Yao Li; I wrote about a night intoxicated by the spring breeze, where leisurely Shanghai residents were fishing and running by the Suzhou River; When I met and took a walk with friends by the Suzhou River, I walked across the glorious Waibaidu Bridge—the Suzhou River I described at that time was full of calm and sweet atmosphere.

At that time, I didn't know that there was a thrilling bloody battle by the Suzhou River. Today, the witness of that period of history is still standing by the river-the four-row warehouse.

On August 13, 1937, the Songhu Anti-Japanese War broke out and the fighting was extremely tragic. In order to demonstrate confidence and determination to the end of the war at home and abroad, and to win the support of the international community, late on the night of October 26, Xie Jinyuan, attached to the 524th regiment of the 262 brigade of the 88th Division of the Chinese army, was in danger and led more than 400 officers and soldiers (to confuse the enemy, Xie Jinyuan It lied to the outside that there were 800 people, nicknamed "八百勇士"), and they stuck to the four-line warehouse for four days and four nights. The movie "Yai Hundred" was based on this historical event that shocked the world.

The four-line warehouse, located on the north bank of Suzhou River in Shanghai, was the joint warehouse of the four banks in Shanghai at that time, so it was called the "four-line warehouse". At that time, the southern bank of the Suzhou Creek was in the British concession, and Japan was not allowed to fire at the concession. Therefore, the four rows of warehouses separated by a river became a favorable battlefield for solitary troops.

On the north bank of the Suzhou River, the flames of war and gunpowder filled. South Bank, feasting, singing and dancing. While the soldiers are precarious, the people can still eat steamed buns, play mahjong, and watch Peking opera... Whenever the war on the north bank ignites, tens of thousands of people on the south bank gather by the Suzhou River to watch the battle across the river. Some people live in high-rise buildings. Qian Ren will also pick up a telescope to watch... The strong contrast of life brings profound visual impact and shock to the audience.

At dawn on October 28, the Japanese army attacked the Sixing warehouse in an attempt to blow up the iron gates and walls with explosives. They used two large steel plates to protect their head and body, blocking the grenades dropped by our army. At the moment of the moment, the 21-year-old soldier Chen Shusheng, strapped to his body with several grenades, jumped off the fifth floor and died with the enemy. Under his leadership, one by one young soldiers, tied with grenades, reported their hometown and name, while bravely jumping from the tall buildings, pulling the fuse, and making heroic sacrifices-many of them have not yet They have never tasted the joy of being a human being when they are married, but in the face of national justice, they donated their precious lives without fear, how great! The feats of the

fighters have inspired and inspired aspiring young people on the south bank of the Suzhou River. On the evening of October 28, Yang Huimin, a female boy scout member, took the risk and entered the four-row warehouse and sent a national flag to express the citizens' respect for the "eight hundred heroes." In the early morning of the next day, the national flag was raised high on the roof of the four-row warehouse. However, the Japanese artillery fired at the four-row defenders on the roof. The flagpole was knocked down and fell to the ground at sight. The brave and tenacious soldier, despite the serious injuries, supported the flagpole bit by bit. "There are artillery fire in all directions, and wolves in all directions. I would rather die than give in, rather than surrender. Our national flag is floating and floating in the encirclement..." At that moment, I could not help but red eyes sitting in the theater.

After watching the movie, with enthusiasm, I came to the original site of the Sixing Warehouse by the Suzhou River. Sixing Warehouse is located at the intersection of Guoqing Road and Jinyuan Road, and Jinyuan Road is named after Xie Jinyuan. An outer wall still preserves the original appearance of densely packed bullet holes, windows turned into black holes, and broken walls. In the

hall, the scene of the war was restored, and the current affairs reports of the media such as "Shen Bao", "Ta Kung Pao", "Xin Pao" and "Li Pao" were displayed, as well as Chinese military helmets, rifle bayonets, badges and other memorials. Photojournalist Hailan Lyon took precious historical photos of the "Four Lines of Warehouse Defense War", and used a variety of display methods such as sand table models, miniature scene boxes, oil paintings, sculptures, and movies to bring audiences an immersive sensory experience. There are many children in the pavilion who followed their parents to learn about history.There are also many ordinary citizens like me who have just watched "Eight Hundred" and came to make up lessons. Standing in the dignified pavilion, I thought how one-sided my understanding of Suzhou Creek in the past was. Because of "Eight Hundred" and the Four Lines Warehouse, I have a new understanding of Suzhou Creek, which is the spiritual supply brought to me by the movie. Source of
