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. In the past two days, my husband has gone out early every day to prepare for Qizhou. She could only be familiar with everything at home, including the environment inside and outside the house, the daily water source and food, under the guidance of her mother-in-law. Therefore, the neighbors did not know about this silent man. He was once an outstanding commander in the Red Army. member.
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 his father, an ordinary and silent man, had carried this trumpet book and blew a loud bugle on the battlefield despite the enemy’s artillery fire.
The score is silent, but it seems that people can hear the echo of the bugle in the red age.
The silent father and the loud bugle
After entering Sanming City, Fujian Province Before Ninghua County’s Long March Spiritual Education Base, members of the interview and research team for “Now we are marching forward from the beginning—Learning Party History on the Long March” had probably never seen so many musical instruments.Bugle gesture.
Outside the main entrance of the exhibition hall, on both sides of the sculpture “The Red Flag is Displayed in the Wind”, ten statues of Red Army buglers come into view. They are several meters high. Holding trumpets in different shapes, they painted a picture of a revolution in full swing.

So many trumpeter designs originate from the “treasure of the town hall” here, a book “The Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” printed in 1932 “Military Signal Book”. This is currently the only most complete, officially published and printed Red Army bugle book in the country. The person who donated this call sheet was Luo Guangmao, an old Red Army soldier.
In Luo Yunqing’s narration, the story of Luo Guangmao joining the army is quite legendary. “My father was only 15 years old at the time. He was an only son, so his family naturally opposed him joining the army. My grandma was very ‘powerful’, 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 became a bugler with the “Military Bugle Spectrum of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” issued by the school and the instruction of the army chief to “protect the bugle spectrum as much as you protect life.”

Later, while fighting the Kuomintang army, Luo Guangmao was unfortunately injured. His knee was hit by a bullet and he was admitted to the Red Army Hospital for treatment. Luo Yunqing said that after the failure of the counter-campaign against “encirclement and suppression”, the hospital was washed away. Luo Guangmao returned home and the cellar became his refuge.Temporary residence for enemy capture.
However, at that time, the reactionaries were constantly purging, and 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 had forgotten where the music score was stored because of her old age.
The loss of the musical notation has been Luo Guangmao’s heartache for many years, and Luo Yunqing even received a beating because of it. “My father’s mouthpiece was made of copper and was about five or six centimeters long. When I was a child, I wanted to exchange it for candy, but I got beaten up.”

However, when thinking about his father’s expression when the trumpet score was later recovered, Luo Yunqing no longer “held grudges”. It was 1974, not long after his grandmother passed away. According to local custom, Luo Guangmao had to organize some items in the family 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 score was cherished and kept in such a secret manner – it is a pity that in When Luo Guangmao learned about this, his mother had passed away.
Luo Yunqing couldn’t guess what his father was thinking at that time. All he knew was that Luo Guangmao donated the number two days after finding it. “I didn’t even have time to take a look or flip through it. To this day, I still don’t know what the content is.”
“The food must be delicious and the work must be done well”
“In the glass display case, the book with rough edges , the “Military Score of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” printed with black ink lay there quietly, full of traces of time.
“This military bugle book records 34There are more than 0 music scores, which record the numbers and combat commands of many Red Army units, which 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 used the trumpet command to successfully confuse the maid’s voice and bring her back to her senses. She looked up at herself in the mirror and saw Although the person in the mirror looked pale and sickly, he still could not hide his youthful beauty and won the victory. Therefore, once the trumpet number fell into the enemy’s hands, “the Red Army soldiers’ protection of the trumpet number has reached its peak.” To the extreme, trumpeters like Luo Guangmao, even after being injured and separated from the team, still spent their entire lives guarding and donating this precious Red Army bugle book, proving the firm belief that “where the person is, the bugle music is there”. ”
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, this was one of the few days when his father had not been seen for three days. His mother seemed a little haggard, and his father seemed a little older. There were traces of military service. By the way, there was also the injured leg. That leg was older than the other. One leg is a little smaller, and the scar left by the bullet will always hurt in rainy days.

In addition, after taking off his military uniform, Luo Guangmao looks like thousands of ordinary working people. “Being a bugler does not make him feel particularly proud. My father believed that when he was a soldier, he learned to play the trumpet and when he came back to learn carpentry, he just learned the same thing. ”
Luo Yunqing told reporters that his father had changed many livelihoods: carpenter, farmer, cashier, production team leader. He even tried to do business and sold chickens in the village. . As for the education of children, he is always concise and concise.
”He does not scold children, but if you are disobedient and do something wrong, you will be beaten. He doesn’t talk much and will tell me, ‘Eat well and do things factually.’ He was not a patient child when he was young. Less than a month after leaving that small alley, he had been practicing for more than a year and lost the habit of practicing boxing every morning. Do good work’. ”
This simple and short truth runs through Luo Guangmao’s life. And it is precisely following this truth that under the sound of the hero’s horn, the younger generations We are following the footsteps of our predecessors and seeking a new path of development.
” Marching forward in the clarion call of the new era
”There are three college students in our family. My eldest son, 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 has started a family and has a happy family.
Although there are many children Luo Yunqing was invited to live in their city for the first time, but he preferred to stay in his hometown. Every year during the Qingming Festival, he went up to the mountain to clean the weeds in front of his father Luo Guangmao’s grave.

This year, Luo Yunqing stayed in Shijiazhuang for more than 50 years Day. “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.
