Reflections on the first day of junior high school: watching the Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic (* * * about 600 words)
The film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" narrates the history of China from 1946 to 1949, which started with the Chongqing peace talks and then the civil war broke out. With the support of the people, the so-called "those who win the hearts of the people win the world" and "hundreds of thousands of broken guns" simply defeated the Kuomintang with all American equipment in three years. Factional struggle, one-party dictatorship and downright corruption of the Kuomintang have been fully demonstrated, but it has mobilized the broad masses of the people, won the support and joining of the Democrats, and successfully opened a new side in the history of China. Immediately after the Huaihai Campaign, it was asserted that "there will be no more war north of the Yangtze River", and the main force of the Kuomintang's trump card was completely destroyed. What impressed me most was the scene when Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi, Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De, our beloved heads of state, heard that our army had won a total victory at the end of the campaign. These four soldiers who changed the history and destiny of China drank together and got drunk and sang an international song together. At this time, I was slightly drunk, leaning against the wall thoughtfully, and the sufferings experienced by the army in its decades-long revolutionary career were reflected in the scenes: five times against "encirclement and suppression", breaking through the blockade, struggling for the long March, crossing the snow-capped mountains and crossing the grassland ... The lives of countless martyrs were exchanged for this historic turning point, and the tough guys who have experienced hundreds of battles at this moment can no longer restrain their feelings, singing and crying.
History is created by the people. On the Korean battlefield, volunteers won the title of "the cutest person", which has always been a glorious tradition of the army. In The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, we can see that in order not to disturb the daily life of Shanghai residents as much as possible, the PLA did not use heavy weapons, preferring to spill blood on the Suzhou River. After the liberation of Shanghai, it did not enter residential houses, but slept on the streets. All this should be handed down from generation to generation for the sake of the people's spirit and become an immortal spirit of the times.
The following are still junior high school level:
The taste of Dragon Boat Festival
There are still some days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the streets and alleys are filled with zongxiang. The scent of Indocalamus leaves mixed with the mellow smell of glutinous rice once made me look forward to the arrival of Dragon Boat Festival year after year.
In our country, in those years when the food was mainly corn potatoes, children were looking forward to the holidays all day, and only during the holidays could they have a delicious meal. The Dragon Boat Festival is the most anticipated festival. In the countryside, after the Spring Festival, the cooking oil and water of every household is getting weaker and weaker, even wealthy families are no exception, and it is not until the Dragon Boat Festival that "sumptuous food" can be played.
Children don't know the exact date of the Dragon Boat Festival. When adults pick some mugwort and put it on the wall, they know it's time for the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, the medical and health conditions in the countryside were far less superior than today. Artemisia argyi collected on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival is an essential medicine for villagers to treat diseases such as rheumatism. At this time, Artemisia argyi also has the effect of preventing insects and preserving corrosion. It is said that inserting Artemisia argyi in the door can also ward off evil spirits. Every time during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are always a few bundles of fresh mugwort on the door beams of every household, and the gloomy walls are decorated with a little green, so there is a festive atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival. Artemisia argyi will not be taken down until it becomes a dead branch, and it will be replaced with a new one at the Dragon Boat Festival next year.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the family is also lively. Married girls will bring their children and husbands back to their parents' homes for the holidays. This is what children are most happy about. Married aunts and sisters will naturally not go back to their parents' homes empty-handed. Snacks such as candy and biscuits will always be prepared to send us away. Even a steamed bread can make us happy for many days, and we can't bear to eat it all at once, so we break it off bit by bit. A steamed bread can last all day, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the fragrance and aftertaste are still in our mouth.
Housewives have already stewed a pot of bacon with a table of homemade dishes, waiting for the arrival of guests with our expectant eyes. When my aunts and sisters arrived, they didn't wash their faces and drink tea, but invited them to the table for dinner. Children hold chopsticks all over the table, and adults talk about the recent situation in detail while scolding the children for their rudeness. The flavor of the rural Dragon Boat Festival is gradually spreading in this harmonious and warm atmosphere.
In those years, we didn't eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. We didn't read the word Zongzi until after school. It is as far away from us as Qu Yuan. Until I went to the town to attend high school, I saw the real zongzi for the first time in a snack bar, bought two, which were only glutinous rice without stuffing, and stood on the street and ate it. After many years, the faint sweetness can still be clearly remembered.
Nowadays, the attribute of zongzi's attachment to the Dragon Boat Festival has gradually faded, and you can usually hear vendors selling zongzi in the streets and lanes. And I am no longer so sensitive to the taste of zongzi. All kinds of stuffing such as peanuts, red dates and bean paste, and all kinds of zongzi can be bought in any supermarket, but I can't eat the taste of standing on the street and wolfing it down.
It's not just zongzi. At present, people's expectations for the Dragon Boat Festival are not as good as before, whether in cities or in the countryside. When South Korea stiffly declared the Dragon Boat Festival as their cultural heritage, we didn't know who should pay us for an authentic Dragon Boat Festival. The only expectation in my heart is to go back to the countryside during the Dragon Boat Festival and smell the wormwood leaves, even if there are no zongzi there.
