Jilin in textbooks

[China in Textbooks]

Guangming Daily reporter Ren Shuang

I was born in Jilin, grew up in Jilin, and worked in Jilin. In my eyes, heart and memory, my hometown Jilin is so beautiful and colorful.

In winter, Jilin is full of snow and silver, and rime must be indispensable in the winter scenery. "Suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom", whenever the rime falls, the poems of Tang Dynasty poet Cen Shen will be transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful picture of ice and snow on the banks of the Songhua River in Jilin City.

"From December of that year to February of the following year, when the water in the Fengman Reservoir in the upper reaches of the Songhua River was discharged from the power station, the water temperature was about 4 degrees Celsius. In this way, when the Songhua River flows through the urban area, not only does it not freeze, but also There are always bursts of mist on the surface of the river... This steaming mist, slowly and gently, coats the pine needles and willow branches with silver layer by layer. At first, it looks like a silver thread, and gradually turns into a silver bar , the last ten miles of the long embankment are full of silver rime and snow willows." ("Rime", the fourth grade Chinese volume of Suzhou Education Edition) rime is commonly known as tree hanging, which is formed when the oversaturated water vapor in the air meets condensation in the severe cold season. a natural phenomenon. In addition to tree hangings, there have been dozens of names belonging to rime throughout the ages, such as Aoshuanghua, Yinhua, Xueliu, Qionghua...they are full of people's attention and love for rime. Rime has brought another vitality to Jilin, where the land is frozen and the vegetation is withered. Because rime has the functions of air "cleaner" and negative oxygen ion "generator", whenever rime appears, the sky will be extraordinarily blue and the air will be extraordinarily fresh.

If Jilin in winter is a pure and clean fairy tale world, then Jilin in spring and summer is a lush forest kingdom.

"You see tall, tall and vigorous Chinese pine trees piled up on the street—that is in Changchun." ("Signs of the City", Beijing Normal University Edition Sixth Grade Chinese Volume 2) The Chinese pine in the text is the black pine in the population of Changchun. , full name "black bark Chinese pine", is one of the most widely planted tree species in Changchun. In addition to the tall and vigorous Chinese pines, there are willows supporting the wind on the streets of Changchun, clusters of flower balls hang on the branches of peach trees and apricot trees, and the fragrance of cloves in the walls of low trees cannot be hidden... Since the founding of New China 70 years ago, Changchun The green area of ​​the city has reached 180 square kilometers, and the number of tree species has increased to about 250. Parks and street corner gardens are dotted in the city like emeralds of various sizes. In 2017, the first roof garden open to the public in Changchun was officially completed. In the space of 4,200 square meters, there are more than 50 kinds of green plants, more than 20 kinds of ground cover flowers, and 15 art buildings, and the greening rate exceeds 80%. One side of the pavilion is facing Changchun Nanhu Park. From a distance, the lake is green and tourists are boating on the lake. Leaning on the railing, you can have a panoramic view of half the city.

There is a blue sky and white clouds above the head, and a piece of black soil under the feet. There is a cool temperature of 22°C in summer, Yushu Qiongzhi in winter, green grass in spring, and golden wheat fields in autumn... Today, the forest coverage rate of Jilin Province is 44.6%, ranking 11th in the country, and above the prefecture level in 2018. The proportion of days with good air quality in the city has reached 90.3%, and a beautiful picture of Jilin is slowly unfolding.

The beauty of Tonghua City in summer is in the mountains and rivers with historical charm. The Hunjiang River meanders, and Jingyu Mountain is full of greenery. Located on the Jingyu Mountain on the east bank of the Hun River, the "Yang Jingyu Martyrs Cemetery" has towering pines and cypresses, red windows and green tiles, bringing people into the historical memory of the majestic mountains and rivers.

On the night of September 18, 1931, the Japanese army bombarded the North Camp in Shenyang, and the "September 18th Incident" broke out. A few days later, the Japanese army occupied Jilin. In February of the following year, the entire Northeast was occupied, and the vast and prosperous Northeast turned into a hell on earth in an instant.

When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. Countless people with lofty ideals rose up bravely and fought bloody battles, among them was Yang Jingyu, a famous anti-Japanese general who died in Jilin.

Open the sixth grade Chinese volume 2 of the Western Normal University Edition, and you can read the touching story of "Anti-Japanese Hero Yang Jingyu": "One night in February 1940, Yang Jingyu led a dozen soldiers to the big forest east of the Mengjiang River. But this operation was unfortunately informed by traitors, and they were surrounded by thousands of Japanese invaders not far from Mengjiang." At the critical juncture, Yang Jingyu resolutely gave up the possibility of life to his comrades and the danger of death. I left it to myself, and spent five days and five nights alone with the enemy, and finally fell into heavy siege. Before he died heroically, "he shouted: 'Down with Japanese imperialism! Long live the Communist Party of China!' Then he left the last bullet for himself... After Yang Jingyu died, the enemy could not understand why an Anti-Union fighter was so brave and tenacious. They After dissecting Yang Jingyu's body and opening his intestines and stomach, the devil officer was stunned: in the belly of the commander of the Anti-Japanese Army who had fought with thousands of Japanese soldiers for five days and nights alone, he could not find a grain of grain, some Just undigested weeds, bark and cotton wool..."

The shattering of mountains and rivers has aroused the feelings of countless Chinese sons and daughters for their home and country. Dai Wangshu, a modern poet, once wrote about the Changbai Mountain area where Yang Jingyu died, "I groped this vast land with my damaged palm: this corner has turned into ashes, and the other corner is just blood and mud... the snow peaks of Changbai Mountain It's so cold..." ("I use the broken palm", the second volume of the ninth grade Chinese language of the People's Education Edition).

A piece of history, tragic and passionate, engraved in the heart; a spirit that inspires the world and reflects the future. As the text "Anti-Japanese Hero Yang Jingyu" said, "Although Yang Jingyu fell, his fearless revolutionary spirit inspired millions of outstanding Chinese sons and daughters to go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War." Approved by the state in 1952 It was decided to build the "Yang Jingyu Martyrs Cemetery" in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, the burial place of Yang Jingyu. Since it was opened for free in 2008, the Yang Jingyu Martyrs Cemetery has received an average of 400,000 person-times a year, making it an important place for Jilin to carry out patriotic education activities. The stories of heroes have entered the hearts of more and more Jilin people, turning them into an inexhaustible source of development for Jilin.

From the banks of the Songhua River with Snow Willows in the Hanjiang River to the verdant Changbai Mountains, from the colorful Yanbian along the Hailan River to the sparkling Chagan Lake, on the magnificent land of 180,000 square kilometers in Jilin Province, people of all ethnic groups in Jilin are working hard with their feet on the ground. These actions paint a beautiful picture of comprehensive revitalization.
