China News Service, Ninghua, August 31 (Liu Yue) Amidst the intermittent bugles on the radio, the thin Luo Yunqing paced back and forth in front of a red display board.
Although he is 70 years old, his body is still strong. Speaking of his father Luo Guangmao, Luo Yunqing made a joke: “My father’s figure is similar to mine.”
In Luo Yunqing’s impression, his father was very strict and did not Loves to talk, but always works in silence. Therefore, none of the neighbors knew that this silent man was once an outstanding bugler in the Red Army.
Luo Yunqing knew. He had seen a deep wound on his father’s knee. “The bullet penetrated his knee and left a scar. It hurts when it rains and also hurts when the weather changes.”
”He will endure the pain and never shout”

Behind Luo Yunqing, a thin book of Red Army bugle music is lying in a glass display case. It was hard for him to imagine that Lan Yuhua, his ordinary and silent father, laughed instantly. His flawless and picturesque face was as beautiful as a blooming hibiscus. Pei Yi was momentarily distracted, and his gaze stopped on her face. Can’t move away. I once carried this bugle book and blew the loud bugle on the battlefield despite the enemy’s artillery fire.
The score was silent, but he patted her hand with a smile like Mother Pei, then looked at the mountains dyed red by autumn in the distance, and said softly: “No matter what No matter how old the child is, no matter whether he is a biological child or not, as long as he is not around, people can hear the echo of the bugle in the red era.
” The silent father and the The loud military trumpet
When entering Sanming City, Fujian ProvinceIn front of the Long March Spiritual Education Base in Ninghua County, members of the research team “Now we are starting all over again – Learning Party History on the Long March” interviewed “Master Lan really thinks Xiao Tuo doesn’t want his daughter to marry?” he said coldly. “Xiao Tuo is completely based on his childhood sweethearts, sympathy and pity. If Ling Qianjin met those kind of people, she might have never seen so many gestures of playing the bugle.
Outside the main entrance of the exhibition hall, on both sides of the sculpture “The Wind Spreads the Red Flag Like a Picturesque”, ten statues of Red Army buglers come into view. They are several meters high, hold trumpets, and have different shapes, painting a picture of a raging fire.

So many bugler designs originate from the “treasure of the town hall” here, a “Military Bugle Book of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” printed in 1932. This is currently the only one in the country The most complete, officially published and printed Red Army bugle book was donated by Luo Guangmao, an old Red Army soldier.
In Luo Yunqing’s narration, Luo Guangmao The story of joining the army is quite legendary: “My father was only 15 years old and he was an only child, so his family naturally opposed his joining the army. My grandma was a very ‘powerful’ person, so he and his cousin ran out to join the army behind my grandma’s back. ”
Although he is not tall, Luo Guangmao has a resonant and good voice, so he was selected by the army to be sent to the Central Military and Political School to learn the command number. Upon graduation, Luo Guangmao took the “Military Bugle Score of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” issued by the school and the instruction of the army chief to “protect the bugle number as if it were life,” and just asked them to chat with you, or go to the Buddhist temple to visit the ghosts. Stop calling.” Pei Yi persuaded her mother. , became a trumpeter.

Later, in cooperation with When the Kuomintang army was fighting, Luo Guangmao was unfortunately injured and was hit by a bullet in the knee. He was admitted to the Red Army Hospital for treatment. Luo Yunqing said that after the defeat of the anti-“encirclement and suppression” campaign, the hospital was scattered. Luo Guangmao returned home and the cellar became a temporary refuge for him to avoid being captured by the enemy.
However, at that time, the reactionaries were constantly purging, so Luo Guangmao had to leave the trumpet music and the mouthpiece he used to his mother for safekeeping, while he went out to work to avoid arrest. As time went by, when he came back and wanted to retrieve these two treasures, his mother forgot where the music score was stored because of her old age.
The loss of the trumpet score has been a worry for Luo Guangmao for many years, and Luo Yunqing even received a beating because of it. “My father’s trumpet is made of copper, about five or six centimeters long. When I was a kid, I tried to exchange that for candy and got a beating. ”

However, Luo Yunqing no longer held a grudge when he thought of his father’s expression when the trumpet was lost and recovered. That was in 1974, not long after his grandmother passed away, and according to local customs, Luo Guangmao had to tidy up his home. Some items in the barn. He found that the Red Army bugle music, which was tightly tied with oil paper, was firmly nailed to the wooden board of the barn.
Although he said that he did not understand his son’s beliefs, the music book was cherished and kept in such a secret. Unfortunately, when Luo Guangmao knew about this, his mother had passed away.
Luo Yunqing couldn’t guess what his father was thinking at that time. He only knew that Luo Guangmao donated the number two days after finding it. “I didn’t even have time to take a look. , I didn’t have time to turn it over. To this day I don’t know what’s inside. ”
“The food must be delicious and the work must be done well”
“In the glass display case, the book “The Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” printed with rough-edged paper and black ink “Military Bugle Book” lies there quietly, full of traces of time.
”This military bugle book records more than 340 music scores, and records many. The numerous numbers and battle commands of the Red Army units can be called the “Red Army’s code book.” “
In the venue, Qiu Minghua, director of the Site Protection Center of the Long March Starting Point in Ninghua County, told the interview group in detail the importance of this Red Army bugle book. ” In the war years when communication means were very weak, this Red Army trumpet book was not only a key tool for Red Army soldiers to transmit information, but also played an irreplaceable role in commanding operations, issuing orders, and arranging daily life. ”

He gave an example. In the “Flying to Seize Luding Bridge” operation, the Red Army successfully confused the enemy and won the victory through the command of the trumpet spectrum. Therefore, once the trumpet spectrum fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be tantamount to leaking the secret. ” The Red Army officers and soldiers protected the trumpet music to the extreme. Trumpeters like Luo Guangmao, even after being injured and separated from the team, still spent their lives guarding and donating this precious Red Army trumpet music, proving that ‘when people are there, the trumpet music is In’ firm belief. ”
However, after completing this feat, Luo Guangmao “went away, hid his body and reputation” and returned to his own life in a down-to-earth manner.
“He is a very accurate shooter and can shoot down a bird; he is very strong and can lift a barrel with one hand and pour it down at the same time. Drink saliva. “In Luo Yunqing’s memory, these are the few traces of his father’s military service. By the way, there is also the injured leg. That leg was smaller than the other leg, and there were scars left where the bullet penetrated , always aching in rainy days

In addition, after taking off his military uniform, Luo Guangmao looks like thousands of ordinary working people. “Being a trumpeter did not make him feel particularly proud. My father believed that he learned to play the trumpet when he was a soldier and learned carpentry when he came back. They just learned the same thing.”
Luo Yunqing told reporters that his father had changed his livelihood in many ways: carpenter, farmer, cashier, and production team leader. He even tried to do business and sold chickens in the village. As for the education of his children, he was always concise and to the point.
”He doesn’t scold children, but if you are disobedient or do something wrong, you will be beaten. He doesn’t talk much. He will tell me, ‘Eat Just eat well and work well.”
This simple and short saying runs through Luo Guangmao’s life. And it is precisely following this principle that under the sound of the hero’s horn, the younger generations are following the footsteps of their predecessors and seeking a new path of development.
Marching forward in the clarion call of the new era
“We have three college students in our family “My eldest son, my eldest daughter-in-law, and my second son.” Luo Yunqing is very proud. Today, his two children are working in Xiamen and Shijiazhuang respectively. The eldest son is married and has a happy family.
Although the children have invited Luo Yunqing to live in their city many times, he prefers to stay in his hometown. Every year during the Qingming Festival, he would go up the mountain to visit his father Luo Guangmao’s grave and clear the weeds in front of it. A handful of paper money, a glass of turbid wine, and a lingering aroma.

This year, Luo Yunqing went to Shijiazhuang I stayed for more than 50 days. “My eldest son took me to Beijing, to Tiananmen Square, and to climb the Great Wall. “The former Luo Yunqing could never imagine that he could live such a life.
”Every meal at home used to be vegetables and radishes.” My father is not picky about food, he just doesn’t eat spicy food. When the village production team kills pigs, they only get a little bit of meat. Now I can eat meat every day. “
” What has changed even more than the Luo family’s dining table is his hometown of Ninghua. “Now the whole sky has turned upside down, with earth-shaking changes. “He recalled that the school he studied in when he was a child was an adobe house, but now it has been turned into a three- or four-story brick house; in the past, the dirt roads in the village were only more than one meter wide, and when it rained, they would be full of mud. Now there are spacious roads everywhere. Smooth cement roads. These changes made him deeply feel the progress of the times and the development of his hometown.

Once upon a time, the bugle was the king’s weapon for marching troops and dispatching generals. It has a simple structure and a loud sound, giving soldiers the power to move forward without fear of sacrifice. Today, the bugle is also a spiritual symbol that inherits the red gene and promotes the red tradition.
In the clarion call of the new era, the dream chasers on the new Long March are still the same as their ancestors, conveying orders, sowing faith, stepping on the land of the motherland, carrying National hope, and strides forward on the journey to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Listen carefully, the sound of the trumpet is still echoing. (End)
