Nanyang Overseas Chinese Machinery Working Group: The Chizi Zhuang Song in the Anti -Japanese Fire

In the Anti -Japanese War of the National Rabies, overseas Chinese and the motherland fought together and fighting side by side, showing an unprecedented situation of anti -Japanese national unity, and countless heroes and deeds emerged. ) The return service group is one of them.

After the outbreak of the Anti -Japanese War, important coastal ports have basically fallen, and the Northwest Highway and the Yunnan -Vietnam Railway have also been cut off. After the hard work of the people of all ethnic groups in western Yunnan, China repaired a Yunnan -Myanmar highway from Kunming to Myanmar in August 1938, becoming an important international transportation channel for China and the outside world at that time. To transport the raw materials of industrial production and the living items of the rear people.

After the Yunnan -Burma Highway was repaired, the skilled drivers and technicians were very scarce. Mr. Chen Jiageng, a well -known patriotic overseas Chinese, learned that the motherland needs a large number of car drivers and repair personnel, and issued the No. 6 notice of the Nanqiao Federation, calling on the young drivers and technicians of the overseas Chinese to return to China to serve the crisis. Overseas Chinese, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, the Philippines, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, etc., more than 3,000 Nanyang Overseas Chinese Machinery returned to the motherland in 9 batches in 1939 to participate in the Anti -Japanese Japan. Known as "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Machinery Working Group".

At that time, the Yunnan -Burma Highway was a simple highway for emergency repair after the outbreak of the Anti -Japanese War. It turned over the mountains such as Gaoligong Mountain and crossed the emergency currents such as the Nujiang, Lancang River, and Yangye River. The road was extremely dangerous. The old machine Luo Kaihu once recalled: "The most dangerous section is the southern Tianmen, narrow and steep, and the cliff next to it. You must not see it. You must bring a springboard on the car. ","

Many roads in the highway are raging, and the crazy bombardment of Japanese aircraft is commonplace, and the sacrifice rate of machinery is very high. Under such dangerous conditions, Nanqiao's working day continued to transport anti -Japanese materials. Ni Hongsheng, a Nanqiao migrant worker, wrote the poem: "The return of overseas is not paid, and the dust is full.

According to statistics, from 1939 to 1942, the Yunnan -Burma Highway grabbed about 500,000 tons of military materials, and a large part was transported by Nanqiao Machinery. They made important contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan, reflecting the overseas Chinese and the motherland. The lofty patriotic feelings of breathing and common destiny.

In 1985, the Yunnan Provincial Government built a "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Machinery Anti -Japanese Monument" for the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Machinery Workers. The inscription wrote: "There were more than 3,000 people who returned to the country at that time. Battlefire, car accidents and diseases donated to the country, and more than a thousand people returned to the residence after the war, while the remaining thousand people kept staying ... "

In recent years, in order to remember this history, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, has set up a "Historical Cultural Community of Nanqiao Machinery Workers", which vividly reproduces the story of the Nanya Machinery Workers' Returning Service Group with graphics and sound and lightning. In addition, the local area has also accelerated the "Nanqiao Machine Work File", which reflects this history. (Xinhuanet)
