The five-star red flag embroidered in prison
When the new China was founded, a large part of the southwestern part of the country had not yet been liberated. The Kuomintang reactionaries, facing eventual demise but still struggling for survival, built many prisons and concentration camps in these areas to hold *** proletarians and patriots. The Sino-American Cooperation Institute in Chongqing was one of them.
Many revolutionaries were imprisoned in Bai Gong Guan and Jie Ju Cave of the Sino-American Cooperation Institute, and the US and Chiang Chiang agents, faced with the final defeat, destroyed these revolutionaries like wild beasts in a frenzy. Jiang Zhuyun, a female ****production party member, was captured by the secret agents in the Sino-American Cooperation Institute due to betrayal by a traitor. The enemy inflicted cruel punishments on her in order to get party secrets out of her and further arrest more ****productives. The enemy severely beat her with a whip twisted from steel wire and nailed bamboo sticks into her fingers. However, Jiang Zhuyun's torture by the enemy demonstrated the fearless revolutionary spirit of the ****-producers. Her answer to the enemy: "The names and addresses of the superiors, I know; the names and addresses of the subordinates, I also know, but these are our party secrets, can not tell you."
With her abject loyalty to the Party, Jiang Zhuyun thwarted the evil plots of American and Chiang's agents. Because of her steadfastness in the face of the enemy, hard friends are very respect her, take her as their role model, affectionately called her "Sister Jiang". On this day, Sister Jiang suddenly received a letter from the underground party. The letter said, "The Chinese People's **** and the country was born, Beijing Tiananmen Square held a grand opening ceremony, raising the first five-star red flag!" Receiving this news, Jiang, who had never shed a tear in front of the enemy, now burst into tears, she was so excited! She immediately reported the happy news to her comrades in the same cell. Everyone was so excited that they hugged each other and softly cheered, "Long live the Chinese People's **** and the State!" "Long live the Chinese People's **** and the State!"
One of the refugees proposed: "We also embroidered a five-star red flag to celebrate the victory!" Everyone responded enthusiastically. A short time ago, a comrade in arms before his death, the collection of a bloodstained red flag to Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang carefully treasured in their own quilt. At this time, Sister Jiang unwrapped the quilt, took out the red flag, stretched it out, and the hearts of all the cellmates boiled over! Sister Jiang took the lead, and everyone immediately flew the needle and thread, embroidering the five stars on the red flag. Needle by needle, thread by thread, the embroidery can't exhaust the revolutionary soldiers' immense love for the new China. The five-star red flag was embroidered. Sister Jiang shook the flag, raised it high, and solemnly said, "Let the five-star red flag be planted on every inch of the motherland!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted the national flag. It was as if they were in Tiananmen Square, and the five-star red flag in front of them was the first national flag of new China. A comrade composed a poem on the spot. The poem reads, "The distinct flag, the scarlet flag, the flag we exchanged with blood ...... Waiting for the day the liberation army arrives, from the enemy's concentration camps, we raise the big red flag, sprinkled with tears of freedom, go out together."
On the eve of the liberation of the Great Southwest, the enemy, facing a final fiasco, carried out a bloody massacre of the revolutionaries as they fled Chongqing.On November 27, 1949, revolutionaries were brutally murdered in the Sino-American Cooperation Institute. The madness of the enemy could not stop the victory of the revolution. The Chinese People's Liberation Army marched into the southwest, where the people were liberated, and the five-star red flag embroidered by Sister Jiang and her comrades finally flew in the sky of the motherland!
In order to establish a new China, in order to let the five-star red flag flying high in the motherland, countless revolutionary martyrs threw their heads, spilled blood, and sacrificed their precious lives. When we look up at the five-star red flag flying high, how can we not think of them? Let us inherit the will of the revolutionary martyrs, build the motherland more prosperous and strong, so that the five-star red flag will always fly high.
