"98 years ago, this vast mountain gave birth to the fire of revolution. As one of the revolutionary bases founded by the CPC in the early days, Jiulongzhang is known as the 'Jinggangshan Mountain in East Guangdong'. In the 22 year revolutionary struggle, it has experienced 233 battles, large and small, and 1276 martyrs stained the green mountain with blood..." In the autumn of Lingnan, the golden pomelo trees on the mountain bend the branches, and the golden rice fields swell with spikes. Tourists from all over the country flock to the former site of the Jiulongzhang Revolutionary Base in Meizhou City, Guangdong Province. They walked through it, listening to red stories and experiencing the spirit of the Red Army. Previously, there weren't many tourists here, and when they came, they would just take a quick glance and leave. ”The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department introduced that as the only prefecture level city in Guangdong Province that belongs entirely to the former Central Soviet Area, Meizhou once faced the dilemma of "dormant" red resources. There are a total of 509 revolutionary sites in the city, many of which are stuck at the level of "surrounding walls and hanging protective signs", and the educational effect of red resources has not been well utilized. When it comes to this situation, Guo Xinzhi, who is responsible for the protection of red resources at the Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, was deeply touched: "Once, we went to the former site of the Longcun Township Farmers' Association in Wuhua County - Xiangyu Building. When we asked what had happened here, almost all the young people in the village couldn't say. We realized that if we only emphasized the solidification and protection of red resources, they would eventually be forgotten by time." The turning point began with the promulgation and implementation of the "Meizhou City Red Resource Protection Regulations" in 2021. This regulation emphasizes protection while clarifying the principle of reasonable utilization, providing policy basis for transforming solidification protection into activation utilization. The prerequisite for 'activation' is to have a clear understanding of one's family background. ”Qiu Jinbiao, Deputy Director of the Municipal Party History Research Office, told me that he led a team to conduct a thorough census of the "red family background" in the city over a period of two years. The team buried themselves in the database, visited informants, and started with a yellowed letter, an old suitcase, and a weathered old house, digging deep into the little-known historical details behind it. Not only did they inject fresh vitality into the silent red resources, but they also verified that Tonghuai Villa is an important historical detail of the "September Letter" in eastern Guangdong. On the evening of October 22, 1929, it was in this inconspicuous Hakka residential building that Comrade Chen Yi officially conveyed a central directive letter to the Fourth Red Army and urged Mao Zedong to return to his post in the Front Committee. This discovery closely linked this ordinary Hakka residential building to the major turning point of the Chinese revolution, "Qiu Jinbiao pointed to the Tonghuai Villa and told the author. In the digital age, inheriting the spirit of the Soviet Area requires technological empowerment and innovative expression, so as to better activate and utilize red resources. ”Engineer Zhang, who is responsible for the digitalization project of red resources, introduced that while promoting the digital management of cultural relics archives and establishing a cloud database, they have also digitized the presentation of red old sites. Through the cloud platform, 23 core sites, including the Sanheba Battle Memorial Park and Tonghuai Villa, have been connected into a "hundred mile red corridor", and an integrated "smart guide" has been achieved with the help of QR codes. You see, after scanning the QR code with your phone, click on this navigation interface, and there will be text, pictures, voice explanations, and even historical images. ”Teacher Liu Ying, who is leading students to study here, said while showing off the mobile interface, "In the past, telling students stories about the Soviet area had to run from place to place. Now, students can learn by scanning the QR code themselves and interact with each other to ask questions. It's so convenient!" An old party member who browsed through 23 core sites in the Hundred Mile Red Corridor on his phone sighed, "History has come alive and the spirit has continued." "The most touching 'revitalization' is to let red history enter people's hearts. ”The leaders of Meizhou Military Sub district told me that while using digital technology to make the solidified red cultural relics and old sites "live" and "move", the military sub district has also formed a red story preaching team to regularly enter campuses, communities, and enterprises, striving to make the history and spirit of the Soviet area well-known to households. Every time I talk about the revolutionary martyr Lv Jindi in Jiulongzhang, I revisit her last shout of 'Long live the Communist Party'! ”When Wu Zhongru, a member of the Red Story preaching team, spoke up, her voice suddenly became high. "She is just an ordinary Hakka woman, but she remained steadfast and died generously for the communist ideal. When I preach, I must speak out her backbone and make everyone remember this martyr." According to statistics, in recent years, their preaching has been carried out more than 300 times, with a direct audience of over 100000 people. Revitalization and utilization not only bring vitality to the red sites, but also benefit the people along the route who protect these red resources. ”Wu Liangke, the team leader of the stationed work team in Meinan Town, Meixian District, introduced that Shuimei Village in Meinan Town has red resources such as the Dongjiang Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Headquarters, the Jiulongzhang Red Army Martyrs Monument, and the Red Army Post Road. By revitalizing history and telling good red stories, a "red+rural+tourism" development model has been established. The people along the line have developed homestays and farmhouses, sold characteristic agricultural products, and enjoyed tourist meals at their doorstep. The villagers with bulging pockets are more motivated to protect red resources, thus forming a virtuous cycle of "protection utilization protection". From solidification protection to activation utilization, Meizhou City has brought the red family background to life. Next, the city will continue to explore new forms and formats of revitalizing and utilizing red resources, better promote and inherit the spirit of the Soviet area, and provide strong spiritual impetus for promoting high-quality economic and social development.
