The Immortal Soul
--Reading Harbin Under the Night
The present Harbin is vast, fertile, with abundant rainfall and refreshing air, but in 1934, this originally beautiful city was in the midst of a war that was being waged by the Japanese invaders and pseudo-Manchu's shadowy rule.
In 1934, Harbin's spring seemed to be stuck in the neck by the Japanese invaders, and it came late and hard. This story focuses on a young middle school language teacher, Wang Yimin, who develops the ideas of patriotism and courageous resistance struggle among his students at school. So that every one of his students possessed patriotic thoughts. In time, when the Japanese used any torture, both he and his students gritted their teeth and stood up, determined not to be traitors.
This book, there are some characters very much to my admiration, they are the young students at that time, Li Hanchao mobilized the public demonstration, Liu Bo enthusiasm, shouting slogans. The police department and the gendarmerie all went out and shot at the people. Wang Yimin protected the people and left quickly, but his student Luo Shicheng was arrested by the police. Luo Shicheng was severely tortured in the police hall, but he still firmly refused to tell who organized the event. In the end, the Japanese officer entertained him and wanted him to study abroad. However, Luo Shicheng finally went to the Japanese officer and was expected to sign the contract, just then he picked up a chair and was going to smash it fiercely at the Japanese officer, although he was unsuccessful and was killed by the Japanese with a gun. But his spirit of dying for his country is very worthwhile for us to learn from him.
Warriors can use their own blood and sweat to defend the motherland, while some people pick up the pen can also go to defend their country. These people also include Mr. Seoksang Xiao. Cunning Japanese will be on the Xiao's wife Liu Wufei brought, in front of Mr. Xiao on the face to make indecent things, Mr. Xiao on the face had to be forced to agree. He was put under house arrest by the Japanese in a small building and forced to be with a Japanese woman. Seeing this, I originally thought that Mr. Sekigami Xiao was a traitor, doing all these things, and writing some false scripts. But he surprised everyone. When the date came for Mr. Sekigami Shaw to rehearse his new play, the Japanese officer Kohara invited many reporters to cover the news. When Mr. Sekigami Xiao faced the heavily armed Japanese officers and journalists on stage, he suddenly laughed maniacally, waved his hand and pulled the script so hard that it fluttered from the stage on a sheet of white paper, and Mr. Sekigami Xiao didn't write a single word! Obara was furious and shot Mr. Sekigami Shaw, he killed the body of a patriot, but he could not kill the heart of this patriot!
This book has many, many patriots. There is Wang Yimin, a young teacher who can write and fight, young students who defy Japanese officers, Mr. Sai Shang Xiao who takes his pen to fight, and countless civilians. They gave their lives in defense of their country. It is true that China had its moments of defeat, but because of these people. Our China can be so strong.
In the 60th anniversary of the founding of the new China, let us also remember these heroes who gave their lives for the motherland!
