On the morning of September 5th, in the first area of ​​Meixi Road in the city center, Zhang Juqing, an 80 -year -old old man, sat at the desk. Tell reporters the original intention of compiling "The Selection of the Anti -Japanese War".

Zhang Junqing was born in a farmhouse and studied tirelessly in his life. Now he is keen to inherit the history of the Red Anti -Japanese War. His experience interprets the true meaning of "knowledge changes destiny", and also shows the feelings of a home country of an ordinary citizen.

Growing in the rural baby and his literary dream

Recalling the past, the elderly Zhang Jiqing was so emotional.

Born in Guangyang Town, Fangcheng County in 1942, he worked for farming in the last generation. Like many people at that time, Zhang Juqing started reading and recognizing words in the warm arms of New China. At the age of 14, he was published by the "Fangcheng Daily" by the "Planting Castle" children's song created by inadvertent insertion. Subsequently, with the encouragement of the teacher and the influence of excellent literary magazines such as "Rongliu", this rural child had a strong interest in literature and germinated a "writer dream".

In the vast sea of ​​books, especially those red revolutionary stories that can sing and cry, it moved him. After graduating from high school, Zhang Juqing joined the army with the ideal of defending the country. In the troops, he was still enjoying reading. In May 1978, his comment was published in the PLA Daily, which strengthened his determination to create his literary creation. It is also this article that has changed his destiny -continued to work related to text after transfer.

During the work, whether it is a family or a colleague, the elderly Zhang Jiqing speaks to teach, and persuades everyone to learn, work hard, and patriotic and love the party in a way of writing or storytelling. He was also respected as "Teacher Zhang" by many people.

There are old -fashioned inheritance of red stories

In 2004, Zhang Juqing was employed as editor -in -chief of Nanyang Old Cadre University after retiring.

It seems simple to publish two issues each year, but it is a bitter thing. Integration, interviews, and school pairing, he was tired and happy, and he was a full ten years. In the past ten years, the elderly Zhang Junqing passed positive energy through the school magazine and told the story of the Red Anti -Japanese War. In the meantime, he also donated about a hundred valuable books he had collected to the old cadre university.

In March last year, the elderly and Hu Yuqing edited "Selected Anti -Japanese War". In this book, he will carefully compile the precious history of the precious anti -Japanese war, the poetry of the Anti -Japanese War, and the Anti -Japanese War. He believes that history is a mirror. The pre -favors are not forgotten.

And this book that contains the feelings of the old man's country is selected as a party history textbook by Nanyang Old Cadre University. This is also the most proud thing for the elderly. "You can keep more people in mind through your own efforts. As a member of an old Communist Party, I feel very fulfilling!" The joy of the old man was from his heart.

When it comes to the happiest thing, the old man Zhang Jiqing told reporters that he took "Ai Xin" as the pen name for 66 years and continued to write a total of hundreds of ethnic style poems, and most of them were anti -Japanese themes. Based on this, he has gathered seven collection of poems, fulfilling his dream of promoting the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japan, inheriting the red history, and the dream of "writer dream".

Near noon, when the reporter left, a clever child came to visit "Grandpa Zhang" to borrow "fighting stories". The old man turned around and turned to find a book ...

After some busy, the old man said with a smile: "The children in the courtyard like to tell me to tell a revolutionary story. I plan to hold a red story exhibition at home one day, which affects more people to pay attention to the past years. ""
