Pursuing the memory of the War of Resistance: After visiting the beacon, the rebirth of the old building in Nanchang

September 3rd is the commemorative day of the victory of the Chinese People's Anti -Japanese War and the World Anti -Fascist War. Opening the history of the Anti -Japanese War, as one of the important combat areas of the national battlefield, Jiangxi has insisted on eight years against Japan, occupying an important position in the entire frontal battlefield and even the national battle situation.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders caused many landmark buildings in Nanchang to be damaged and damaged. Among them, the traffic, post and telecommunications land, Nanchang Postal Building, Nanchang Auto Terminal, and the "Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant" at that time. Some of them have adopted the test of artillery fire, and they have been motionless since they stand; some are destroyed and now Nirvana is reborn.

The victory of the Anti -Japanese War has been 77 years, but the impact of this war has not been terminated. On the eve of the commemorative day of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we returned to this old building immersed in the long river of history and pursued the memory that could not be forgotten.

"Teacher University" campus auditorium

▲ Once, the old building was a military -owned land, and it resisted the invasion of China.

In 2006, a survey report on the Nanchang Massacre of the Nanchang Massacre of the Nanchang Massacre announced by the Nanchang Social Sciences Association showed that during the Japanese occupation of Nanchang City, a total of 6,4420 residents of Nanchang were killed, 9,762 were injured and disabled, and 13,2457 buildings The house was blown or burned ...

Talking about the history of the years of the Anti -Japanese War, Nanchang City rescued the head of the historical material group of the Anti -Japanese War, the director of the Cultural and History Committee of the CPPCC of Nanchang, and Zhang Hengli, member of the Standing Committee of the Nanchang CPPCC. Over the years, he has been interviewing survivors during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and re -interviewed a group of large -scale buildings reconstructed.

"In the Anti -Japanese War, the old buildings that were blocked in Nanchang were the first to think of the large auditorium building complex of the Qingshan Lake Campus of Jiangxi Normal University. At that time, there was still a airport." The bombing of important traffic lanes and facilities such as airports and train lines was very miserable at the time.

On the afternoon of August 29, the reporter walked into Jiangxi Normal University (Qingshan Lake Campus). Walking 100 meters from the school gate, a building marked with "1935" red characters came into view, and inscriptions with the words "Command Tower (1935)" are marked with the origin of this building. It can be known from the inscription that the command tower is a famous building on the campus of Jiangxi Normal University, and it is also one of the most "old" buildings in this school.

The command tower was established in 1935 and completed in the spring of 1937. It was the command tower and office building of the "Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant" at that time. As one of the few high -rise buildings in Nanchang at that time, the tower was directed at 5 layers of brick structures; the four floors above the ground and the first floor of the ground. There are 12 rooms on each floor on the ground. The top of the building is a flat -top design to place the air measurement equipment and fly the spherical balloon. At that time, there was a main gate in the south of the original east facade of the tower. There was a round window on the east of the south facade of each floor. The shape was quite European style.

According to historical records, at the beginning of the completion, the command tower was repeatedly bombed by the Japanese aircraft aircraft; one of the heavy bombs worn the northeast wing of the building from the flat top of the tower and exploded directly to the basement. Fortunately, the foundation is not damaged. In August 2010, this "75 -year -old" command tower was repaired again according to the original appearance, and now it still has the style of old buildings.

Not far from the command tower, the famous "auditorium" of Jiangxi Normal University. It was also a fuselage welding plant and airplane of the "Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory".

"In popular terms, the original site of the auditorium is an airplane warehouse." At that time, the assembled aircraft parked here and glideed in and out. According to Zhang Hengli, according to data records, the central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory (Auditorium) was designed with "single -layer reinforced concrete empty stomach structure"; The "empty stomach beam" design can not only reduce the amount of material and reduce the weight, but also broaden the internal space of the building; it is still widely used in large -scale buildings such as large span stadiums and factory warehouses, which was advanced at the time.

Construction with the "Command Tower" and "Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory", there are also aircraft repair plants (that is, Normal University Old Art Building). In 1935, when the aircraft repair plant was constructed, the "single -layer reinforced concrete frame structure" was used. Similarly, this design could shorten the construction period at that time, and it could also ensure the beauty and durability of the building, and take into account the good earthquake resistance and shock absorption effect.

After the relocation of Nanchang University in 1950, the original aircraft repair plant gradually made a transformation and utilization. The first floor was a student cafeteria, and the second and third floors were student dormitories; later they were specially used as the arts classroom, so they have been called "old art building" or "old beauty building" for a long time. In October 2010, Jiangxi Normal University resumed its original color as an airplane repair plant to maintain a consistent style with directing towers and aircraft sheds.

Today, the old building "turns gorgeous" and stands on campus to rejuvenate

Talking about the old buildings built during the same period, Jiangxi Normal University is the most touching.

According to historical records, in 1950, after the original Nanchang University moved into the Laofei Airport (that is, the area of ​​the Qingshan Lake Campus), it was originally the converted hall of the aircraft warehouse to be converted into an auditorium, which became an important place for teachers and students to meet and hold literary activities; Before the repair, it has always been a place where the masters and students are frequent.

Luo Haitao, a 1996 Jiangxi Division University, said that the most impressive memory of the three old buildings is the auditorium. He recalled: "At that time, I remembered that it should be regarded as the largest venue in the campus at that time. The school opening conference, dance and hosting various cultural activities were in the auditorium; and the small square in front of the auditorium was also daily sports. The important place of the event is very impressive. "" I haven't gone to my alma mater for a long time, and I will take time to see if I don't know if the current auditorium will hold a large -scale event. "Luo Haitao said with emotion, carrying many people's youthful memories The old building of this "auditorium" is undoubtedly the common memories of many "adults".

Today's auditorium is not just a place for artistic activities; the first floor of the building has become the comprehensive service hall of the Qingshan Lake Campus. Entering the hall, you can still feel the magnificent and magnificent historical buildings, but the interior of the re -decorative building has become a modern office style, and there is no trace of time. A female staff member at the scene introduced that the second floor was only opened when a large -scale event was held on the campus, and the daily office was not open to the public.

Like the auditorium, the old buildings of the "command tower" are no longer for teaching land. Division and other departments.

"After walking along the building group, sometimes I think of the past at the Normal University, and sometimes I immerse themselves in the aftertaste of history." On the afternoon of August 29, the Normal University of the Normal University walking on the shore of the Qinglan Lake in Jiangxi Normal University retired. Teacher Mr. Zhou Lao said with a smile to reporters when he talked about the old building that although he had never experienced the storm of that era, he was in a historical building, and he always unconsciously pursued his memory, lamented the passage of time, and historical changes.

The postal building standing in the wind and clouds

▲ It survived in the fire of the Japanese invading Japanese army

"The postal building is an old building standing in the times. It is called‘ Nanchang landmark ’, which is well deserved.” Zhang Hengli commented.

The postal building located in Nanchang Citizen Delu was built in the 1930s. It is now "Tibetan" in the streets and alleys in the old town of Nanchang. Compared with nearby high -rise buildings, it does not seem to be considered counting. Too public. As a landmark building at that time, the postal building also experienced the baptism of warfire smoke, which carried the memories of several generations of Nanchang people.

In the archives room of Nanchang Branch of China Post Group Co., Ltd., a file data records the "resume" of Nanchang Post Building: it was born in 1935 and used to use the "traffic building". The reason why it was named "traffic" was because the postal bureau was affiliated to the traffic system at that time, so it was named.

In the last century, the postal system as an important means of information transmission occupied a very important role. Therefore, whether it is the initial "traffic building" or the "postal building" that people are used to today, the role of this building in the development of the times can be described as pivotal.

Zhang Hengli introduced that in the 1930s, Nanchang Transportation Building and Jiangxi Hotels (today August) and Provincial Library (now Jiangxi Painting Academy) were also known as the three major iconic buildings in Nanchang.

"The design style of the transportation building was very beautiful at that time; the size of its building was also rare at the time." Zhang Hengli said that after completion in 1936, two -thirds of this two -story "high -level building" were used to handle postal posts. Business, one -third is used to handle the telecommunications business and promote the development of the Nanchang Postal Communication Industry. For a time, many people are used by business exchanges and contact relatives and friends.

The good times did not last long. From 1937 to 1939, the Japanese invaders had bombarded Nanchang many times. The transportation building located in the center of Nanchang was naturally failed to be spared. According to historical records, witnesses said that at that time, there was a layer of cabled glass canopy on the roof of the building to cover the sun and prevent the sun. Above -therefore, although the Toward Troom Tower was completely damaged, it also played a buffer role for bombs and buildings ... After inspection afterwards, the "Nanchang Transportation Building" was not damaged. After this "war", this old building has been well preserved to this day.

▲ It used to be a bridge between "Lao Nanchang" with a distant relatives

Public information shows that with the changes in the times, the use of this building is constantly changing. In 1951, Nanchang Transportation Building was jointly used by Jiangxi Provincial Post and Telecommunications Administration and Nanchang Post and Telecommunications Administration; in 1958, the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Administration relocated the new site and was used by Nanchang Post and Telecommunications Bureau alone. The postal office and production house of the post office are named "Postal Building".

"I went to work in the postal system in the 1980s. As an old postal person, I worked in the architecture of many generations of Nanchang people, and it felt rare." Ms. Chen, an old postal employee I heard the long history of the postal building at work. And just a few years before she entered the unit, the postal building had just performed its only "big surgery" -the postal bureau stamped the building on the original floor, which increased this two -story building to three floors to three floors to three floors to three floors. architecture.

Ms. Chen's memories of this "increase" also recorded in the archives of the postal company. In 1984, the postal building was implemented in order to expand the land for office space and became a three -story building. During the visit, the reporter learned that except for the transformation of the 1980s in the 1980s, the postal building did not conduct other structural transformation. In 2006, Nanchang Post Building was rated as a cultural relics protection unit in Nanchang. On the morning of August 31st, Mr. Yao, a 68 -year -old citizen of Nanchang, took a letter to the postbox of the postal building. Mr. Yao said that using such a letter of contact with relatives and friends is because of his postal feelings for many years. Mr. Yao told reporters that as an "old Nanchang", his memory of the postal building was very deep -many years ago, in the era of rapid development in the express delivery industry, he will come to the postal building to give away in the other country every time in the express delivery industry. The younger brother sent his hometown specialties; there were several times to come here to "shoot telegrams" to contact relatives and friends. Mr. Yao said that every time he came here, he could not help but inspire a relationship in his heart.

Nowadays, most of the postal building has become the office area of ​​the Minde Road Post Branch of Donghu District, and the other part has been transformed into Donghu District Sub -branch of Nanchang Branch of China Post.

After a folding Nanchang Bus Station

"Nanchang Automobile Terminal" was bombed by the Japanese invading Japanese army

According to historical records, after the first highway of Nanchang City in 1928, after the official opening of the Gan and Yue Highway, the Nanchang Layers and Nanchang Automobile Terminal were established on December 11 of the same year. The parking lot and passenger stations have also expanded the operation line of Nanchang Terminal.

It is regrettable that after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, a large number of buildings in Nanchang were destroyed by the fire of the Japanese invaders. The Nanchang Automobile Terminal on the south road of the Plaza also suffered several bombing attacks and was basically damaged.

"In addition to brutal killings, the Japanese army also sacrificed many civilians' innocent lives while burning and bombing in Nanchang City." Zhang Hengli said with a strong tone. He said that he read such a scene in an interview and report from a foreign journalist: When the Japanese bombed Nanchang, a woman was waiting for a car with her child at the Nanchang Automobile Terminal; a bomb happened to explode not far beside her, The woman was unfortunately killed, and the child in her arms crying helplessly ... "How sad this scene is and how cruel!" Zhang Hengli said.

Zhang Hengli introduced that Nanchang Auto Terminal was bombed by the Japanese army. This iconic bus station witnessed the heights of the Japanese invading Japanese army committed by the Chinese people, and also outline the development trajectory of Jiangxi Highway Passenger Transport.

▲ Nanchang Bus Station carries the way home of generations

In 1946, the Highway Bureau changed the original Nanchang Automobile Terminal to the current Jiangxi Changlin parking lot (now the intersection of Bayi Avenue and Yongshu Road in Nanchang City), and was renamed the Jiangxi Provincial Highway Bureau Automotive Terminal. At the same time, it was at Yang The intersection of Ming Road and Dangjia Road (near Qingshan Road Bus Station) has a new Nanchang Bus Station; in 1956, the newly constructed Nanchang Bus Station station building was put into use (located at the exit of No. 3 Wanshou Palace Metro Station).

In 1974, the Nanchang Municipal Government re -planned the location of the bus station, and planned to re -site as the site of the old bus station after the Anti -Japanese War. In May 1975, the project officially started; on February 13, 1980, the new long -distance bus station was completed and started business. Since then, it has embarked on the "Peak Road" of Nanchang Coach Station.

At the same time as the station of the station, Nanchang Company of Jiangxi Auto Transport Corporation was also renamed Jiangxi Coach Transportation Company. On April 3, 1993, Jiangxi Changyun Co., Ltd. was established in a directed manner; in July 2002, the company first publicly issued shares and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, becoming the first road passenger transport in my country's capital market as the Main business listed company.

In the summer of 2011, the passenger flow was also impacted to a certain extent after the splendid Nanchang Coach Terminal was diverted. Although in 2016, the selection of the Nanchang Coach Station was newly built next to the Nanchang Railway Station, which can be described as the advantage of geographical location, but it can no longer reproduce the prosperous scene of the past. According to the relevant person in charge of Jiangxi Changyun Co., Ltd., the company's latest development goal is to make full use of the geographical advantages of Nanchang Coach Terminal and build it as Nanchang Tourism Distribution Center.

The wheels of the times are rolling, and the development of road passenger transportation ups and downs. In the past ten years, Nanchang Bus Station has been seeking the road of transformation and development in the sluggish market. History will not forget that, under the efforts of generations, Nanchang Bus Station, which was born in the Japanese invaders, has carried generations of homeland and struggle.

【Reporter Notes】

Decades have passed, and we have never forgotten.

Remember history, forge ahead, listen to a historical story, and laid awe and gratitude in your heart. We who are in the prosperous world often say that life requires some sense of ritual. Then on the day of the victory of the Chinese Anti -Japanese War, we might as well find a sense of ritual, go for historical relics, and feel the traces of peeling off the walls; Memory in the long river. Each of us, pursuing memories is to understand the preciousness of peace and consolidate the power to create the future.
