On this day, 81 years ago, on March 19, 1944 (February 25, 1944, the lunar calendar), Guo Moruo's "Three Hundred Years of Jiashen" was published. According to Yu Liqun's recollections,"The Three-Hundred Anniversary Sacrifice of Jiashen" was a long essay written by Lao Guo in the spring of that year to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the victory of the peasant uprising led by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty. It was released on March 10, 1944. After several days of revision, Lao Guo sent him to Comrade Dong Biwu, who was then in Chongqing, for review. Unexpectedly, on the third day after the manuscript was submitted, Xinhua Daily published the full text. It was published on March 19, and was serialized for 4 days, and was completed on the 22nd. As soon as the article was published, someone from the Kuomintang immediately intervened, saying that this article was an "allusion to the authorities." On March 24, the Kuomintang's Central Daily published an editorial specifically attacking it. The embarrassment of the reactionaries is really regrettable, and naturally this also proves from the opposite side that this article was written correctly. The enemy is embarrassed and afraid, but the people welcome it. However, Lao Guo did not expect that only 20 days later, Chairman Mao mentioned this article in his report "Study and Current Situation" and pointed out: "There have been several times in the history of our party that we have expressed great pride, all of which have suffered a loss... Comrades in the party must draw lessons from these several pride and mistakes. Recently, we printed Guo Moruo's article on Li Zicheng, also asking comrades to use it as a lesson not to repeat the mistakes they made when they were proud of during victory." Soon, Comrade Lin Boqu flew to Chongqing from Yan 'an. Lao Lin personally told Comrade Moruo that the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao had decided to use the "Three Hundred Years of Jiashen Sacrifice" as a rectification document for the party to learn from, and has been widely published in Yan 'an and various Jiefang District. These news brought great encouragement to Lao Guo. He felt gratified from the bottom of his heart that his article met the needs of the party and the people. In late August 1944, Lao Guo received the separate editions of "Qu Yuan" and "The Three-Hundred Anniversary Sacrifice of Jiashen" brought by Comrade Zhou Enlai from Yan 'an. Lao Guo wrote to Chairman Mao, Vice Chairman Zhou and many friends in Yan 'an one by one on the same day, thanking them for their encouragement and encouragement. In December, Lao Guo received a reply letter written by Chairman Mao on November 21. Brother Moruo: Da Shi read it all. The reward and decoration are excessive, and I don't deserve it; However, when you study hard and meet the expectations of your old friends, after Wuchang broke up, you spent all day in a pile of work without the opportunity to read and study, so I feel envious of your achievements. We treat your "Three Hundred Years of Jiashen" as a rectification document. Small victories are pride, and big victories are even more pride. We suffer losses time and time again. How to avoid this kind of problem is really worth paying attention. It would be very useful if you could write a piece of Taiping Army experience with a large amount of money, but if you dare not make a formal proposal, it will be too tiring for you. I recently watched "Anyway Before and After", which was almost exactly the same as what I experienced in Hunan at that time. It was an immature bourgeois revolution, and such an ending was inevitable. This Anti-Japanese War should be mature, right? The international conditions are very good, and the domestic efforts depend on our efforts. Although I am diligent and am afraid that something will go wrong, I don't know if something goes wrong or shortcomings you see, and I hope to know at any time. Your historical theories and historical dramas have greatly benefited the people of China, but their spirit will never be in vain. I hope to continue to work hard. After Comrade Enlai arrived, we should have been informed of the recent situation here, so I will not let you know one by one. We all want to meet with you. I wonder if we have the opportunity? I wish you health, happiness and vitality! Mao Zedong was in Yan 'an on November 21, 1944. Chairman Mao mentioned in his letter that "Comrade Enlai arrived" occurred in November of the same year. Comrade Zhou Enlai flew back to Chongqing from Yan 'an on the night of November 10. The next day, Lao Guo was at his residence at No. 4, Tianguan, to clean up the dust for Mr. Liu Yazi, who had just arrived in Chongqing from Guilin. Comrade Zhou Enlai also came to attend. During the banquet, Vice Chairman Zhou talked freely about the current situation in Yan 'an. Each piece of exciting news immediately brought light to the small "Worlu". Lao Guo recalled afterwards that due to Vice Chairman Zhou's participation,"friends and friends were very enthusiastic." He also wrote a poem to commemorate the happy gathering that night and the return of Vice Chairman Zhou. In the poem, Vice Chairman Yu Zhou was called the person holding the torch: he suddenly felt that the snail was as wide as the sea, and the pine trees were green and green as the winter was cold. The pearls of the Southern Society of Poetry League are on the table, and the pillars of the landscape are rolling across the river. People holding torches return from the north, throw down the hairpin and I want to drown the Confucian crown. Bright this evening, the government will stop Yangko and beat the bars drunk. Chairman Mao said in his letter that everyone hoped to meet Comrade Moruo. Isn't Lao Guo always longing to see Chairman Mao and the comrades in Yan 'an again? After Lao Guo and Chairman Mao broke up in Wuchang in 1927, they had not seen each other for more than ten years. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Guo returned to his motherland from Japan alone. Since then, he has been eager to go to Yan 'an. There is his comrades in the Northern Expedition who have been away for 10 years. It is a fortress for resisting Japan and saving the country and the hope of the Chinese nation. In 1938, Lao Guo wrote a song "Ballad of Northern Shaanxi" to express his feelings. It wrote: There are many friends in northern Shaanxi, and I would like to ask you on your behalf? South China also wants to dance Yangko. The sun is red in northern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi, saving the motherland from its cage, and Xintian Town is enjoying the east wind. However, in the Kuomintang ruled areas at that time, this wish could not be realized. Lao Guo's whereabouts have been closely monitored by Kuomintang spies. Even whenever the Japanese army bombed in the summer season and we were forced to take refuge in Laijiaqiao, which was only dozens of kilometers away from downtown Chongqing, Kuomintang spies would immediately spread the news: "Guo Moruo is going to escape" and "We are going to rebel out of Qingmuguan!" At that time, we could only look north, but we could not fly. To this end, Lao Guo once said with great emotion: "This is hopeless hope." In 1945, our desire to see Chairman Mao finally got our wish. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chairman Mao ignored his personal safety and flew to Chongqing to participate in negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Lao Guo and I rushed to the airport to welcome Chairman Mao with excitement and excitement. On September 3, we received a notice that Chairman Mao would come to Tianguan in the afternoon to visit people from all walks of life. Friends immediately rushed to tell each other. Due to the victory parade that day and vehicles were unable to pass through, the meeting place was temporarily changed to Chairman Mao's residence. Lao Guo and I immediately set off and walked to the chairman's residence. Also present at that time were Jian Bozan, Deng Chumin, Feng Naichao, Zhou Gucheng and others. I remember Lao Zhou Gu asked Chairman Mao in a strong Hunan accent: "You wrote poems in the past, do you still write them now?" The chairman said humorously: "I don't feel like that recently. He used to be a white-faced scholar, but now he has become a 'bandit.'" Everyone laughed. Then, Chairman Mao started chatting with everyone. Chairman Mao explained the reasons for the failure of the Northern Expedition, turned to Lao Guo, who was sitting on his left, and said,"The" Before and After "you wrote is like writing about my life. The situations we saw everywhere we went were the same as what you wrote." Chairman Mao analyzed the current situation after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and talked about the people's desire for democracy and peace. He clearly pointed out: "Is the Communist Party private? Or is it male? There is no doubt that it belongs to the people. The party's actions should be based on the interests of the people and the benefits of society. If it doesn't benefit any of this, we need to correct it." Finally, Chairman Mao said to everyone with confidence: Peace will always come, but it is not easy to achieve the goal. After Chairman Mao finished the talk, he humbly solicited everyone's opinions and invited those present to express their opinions. Lao Guo had poor hearing, so he listened carefully to every word of Chairman Mao and watched every gesture made by Chairman Mao. He saw that Chairman Mao was using an old pocket watch, and after the meeting, he took off his watch and gave it to Chairman Mao. On September 9, Lao Guo and I met Chairman Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou again in Hongyan Village. At dinner, everyone talked about the issue of Lao Guo's attitude in the cultural world. Chairman Mao agreed with Lao Guo's opinion that his attitude should be stronger, that there should be no compromise and cooperation, but struggle. Chairman Mao said: "The future is bright and the road is tortuous." These several meetings with Chairman Mao left me with an impression that I will never forget. The image of the chairman at that time seems to appear in front of me to this day: wearing a loose gray cloth uniform in Yan 'an, his attitude was calm and modest, his demeanor was calm and steady, and he seemed to be constantly thinking about problems and full of confidence in the future.
