The characters in this play are true, the story is true, and there are few fictional elements. As one of the actors in the play, at the end of the curtain call every night, I am still a little touched by warm applause every time, although I am over 60 years old. In the applause, I felt the audience's recognition of us, the script and the activity. Especially the audience refused to leave the scene for a long time, and there was a trace of unfinished business. Indeed, three authors wrote the play in a factual way, with few fictional plots. In particular, the stories of some heroic relatives were not well expressed due to the limitations of the stage play, and they had to reluctantly give up what they wanted. Today, I will tell you "leakage" and "legacy" through words to meet the wishes of the audience.
First of all, I played a local tyrant who knew Rong Lu. In fact, there are real people in life But also the son of Wang Bin martyr, Wang's father-in-law, and the prototype of the play. The story of this grain grab took place in the 1960s, when Mr. Wang was teaching at Chengguan Primary School after years of marriage. One day, my father-in-law invited him home for dinner and told him the story that had been hidden in my heart for more than ten years at the dinner table.
Then there are the guerrillas in Hope Mountain. Under the leadership of captain Wang Bin, they borrowed some sheepskins from a mutton shop in the West Village in order to destroy the Japanese turrets in Wanquan City. In the evening, a shepherd herded his sheep home, put the sheepskin on his body, escaped the inspection of Japanese soldiers, and mixed into the city to meet the big party at night. Teacher Wang said that after liberation, relatives in Nishimura joked in front of her sister that my uncle borrowed some sheepskins from my house and hasn't returned them yet ... The story is very good, but how to perform on the stage? It is unrealistic to use real sheep. People can't tell which is a guerrilla and which is a real sheep. It was really hard to show it, so they finally had to give up.
Another one was told to me by Mr. Wang, the son of Wang Bin martyr. 1946 After Wang Bin and Dong were arrested in Nanren Village, Xicun Township, the bandit soldiers in the World War II area of the Kuomintang were afraid that they would escape, and they were twisted together with wire through the shoulder blades of the three men and taken to Yuncheng step by step. Because Wang Haiqing was the county magistrate of Ronghe County at that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries killed him as a traitor in advance. And his head was hung on the doors of Yi, Wanquan, Ronghe and other county towns for more than ten days. This is also difficult to show. In the play, when Wang Bin and Dong were killed, Xie Kejian, the Commissioner of the Gangster District, took it away with a word. ...
The most touching thing is that after the three heroes were brought to Yuncheng, the mother of Wang Bin martyr walked nearly a hundred miles to Yuncheng in order to see her son. Seeing his son tied up, pushed from the stove to the rake and killed by a group of people who didn't know the truth, he went crazy on the spot. Later, a businessman in the village saw her when he rushed to Yuncheng to buy goods, and pulled her back ... The most gratifying thing is that after the liberation of Yuncheng, the gangster Commissioner Xie Kejian ran to Sichuan and set up a melon seed stall in a small town in an attempt to escape punishment. Who knows, the day turned and on the last day, he felt guilty. A group of Yuncheng students joined the Southern Cadre League. In the evening, when they rest in this town, they wander in the street. They just saw that he had committed a heinous crime, and quickly reported to the local government, arrested him, sent him back to Yuncheng, and executed him ... The most incredible thing is that the notice of Xie Kejian's execution was posted in the alley of Wang Bin Martyrs' Home in Beizhanghu Village. His mother can't read and saw many people watching. Everyone said with one voice that Xie Kejian, the special correspondent of Chiang Kai-shek who killed your son, was shot and your son got revenge. In madness, she took off the notice and took it home, burning it in front of her son's memorial tablet to comfort the martyrs and give up her old wish. Then a miracle appeared, and her original spirit slowly recovered, and she became a normal person without treatment for a few days.
A play is difficult to be perfect for various reasons. However, as a county-level cultural center, it can be said to be unique in the province. You can't do it without courage, spirit and courage. This is the spirit of Wanrong: dare to think and do; This is the spirit of Wanrong, one by one, striving to be the first; This is the spirit of Wanrong-dare to be the first in the world!
