yesterday afternoon (September 1st), the Propaganda Department of the Licang District Committee organized some organ cadres, moral model
100 surplus people, and came to the miserably of the Mao Zi port At the site of the case, the 70th anniversary anniversary of the war of resistance against Japan, the 77th anniversary commemoration of the massacre of the Mao Zi port. In May 8, 1938, after the Japanese invaders' search and arrest of the Eight Route Army around the village of Mao Zi Bu Village, the Japanese troops gathered around the village of Mao zabu, surrounded by the Japanese troops near Jiao County, Nan Quan and blue village, began to retaliate crazy retaliation on the village of only 500 villagers. In more than 7 hours, more than 180 villagers were massacred and more than 700 houses were burned. After the massacre, the village was in a mess. The bodies of men, women and children were lying in a pool of blood in the streets and lanes. Before commemorating the 70th anniversary anniversary of the victory of the war of resistance against Japan, the Massacre Memorial Hall of the Mao Zi port has to receive more than ten tour groups every day. The memorial hall used a lot of historical materials, pictures and survivors to describe the Japanese brutality of the Mao Zi Bu tragedy. The curator of
is the senior citizen of Yongping Road community in Xinghua Road. He is 64 years old, and he is three disabled. The old man built all his "Mao Zi Bu Holocaust Memorial Hall" to make future generations remember this miserable history. "When a man lives, he must be a useful person to the society, a deep love for the motherland, a good for the future generations of children, and a passionate person for life." He introduced his intention to build a memorial hall for visitors.
the Japanese massacre massacre shocked him in
1995, when the victory of the war of resistance against Japan reached 50th anniversary. One day, CCTV was playing a program about Anti Japanese war. The word "Mao Zi Bu Massacre" flashed from the program. Although there was no detailed introduction, Ding Chunyuan left a deep impression on Ding Chunyuan, who was watching TV at the time, because Ding Chunyuan's wife was the village of the seven town of Jimo. When he and his wife returned to Mao's port to visit relatives, Ding Chunyuan was interested in asking the villagers. Li Ruizhang and Zhao Youhai, the survivors of the massacre, told him about the Japanese invaders' ransacking the village of Mao Tsu and killing more than 180 innocent villagers.
1938 May 8th, more than 50 Japanese troops attacked the village of Mao Zi Bu, they used machine gun fire, bayonet pick and kill, caesarean section to dig heart, spilt gasoline burning and other cruel means, massacring the village of Mao Zi port, and fire over more than 700 houses in the village, making the tragic Mao Zibu massacre. Ding Chunyuan was shocked, but even more shocked by the fact that many young people in and around the village did not understand this history.
after returning to Qingdao from Mao Zi port, Ding Chunyuan has not yet set up a memorial hall. It was his son's words that made him determined to build the memorial hall. "20 years ago, my son was small. One day, he saw a program of Anti Japanese war on TV, and he even mimicked the Japanese army and called himself "the Imperial Army". At that time, I was very complicated, heavy and sad, and I also had some self accusation. At that time, Nanjing and other places all over the country began to build Memorial Hall for the war against Japan. I was determined to build a memorial hall for the victims of the Japanese invasion of China, and let more people understand this history.
spent all the savings to build the memorial hall
1995, and the memorial hall was built. Ding Chunyuan did not expect this memorial hall to give him a full 5 years. Although Ding Chunyuan, who has made some savings in architectural design, found that after the commencement of the memorial hall, he did not think it was as simple as he imagined. The shortage of funds has become the biggest problem. Ding Chunyuan earns a little money every year and earns some money for the memorial hall. In this way, the first floor covers two years and costs nearly 130 thousand yuan. The construction of the memorial hall in 1997 stopped, because he only made 10 thousand yuan that year, and he could not start his work. It was in 1998 that the second storeys began to be built. The rapid development of computer design in 1999 replaced his manual design. Ding Chunyuan's business began to go downhill. He will spend one day and one night working on his computer for an hour. At that time, a computer that could be used to design architectural drawings was more than 20 thousand yuan, and colleagues bought computers to study computers. But Ding Chun Yuan could not get the 20 thousand yuan. He put all his money in the memorial. After the completion of the memorial hall of
, Ding Chunyuan began to collect relevant information about the "massacre of Mao Zi port". He visited more than 20 survivors of the whole village to understand the situation of the tragic case at that time. In order to find the historical records of "the massacre of Mao Zi bu", he went to the archives of Weifang, the archives of Jimo, and the archives of Qingdao City, and did not find the record of this history. At the same time, he sent a letter to the memorial hall of the Nanjing massacre, hoping that they could help the investigation. At this time, he was a little anxious. "The memorial hall has been built, and the oral materials of the survivors of the massacre are available, but there is no historical data in the archives. Just then, a friend told him that he had seen a description of the massacre in the archives of the old Jimo county. He hurried there and finally saw the record of the history.
after ten years of building the museum
in search of the historical data of "the massacre of the Mao Zi port", Ding Chunyuan has been conceiving the layout of the memorial. He wanted to make a mural in the hall with the theme of the "Mao Zi Bu tragedy" scene. In order to make the frescoes reproduce the scene of the tragic scene, he came to the survivors of the tragedy and began to create them through their narration. After studying each painting of the art, Ding Chunyuan first let the survivors look, let them point out the difference between the scene and the real scene, and paint it over and over again and again until every figure in the picture and the position of every item was resurrected in the eyes of the survivors. It took him a year to create the manuscript of the murals.
2003, while Ding Chunyuan was laying the memorial in the heat towards heaven and earth, his mother fell ill and was paralyzed in bed, and the memorial hall was slowed down. In the past three years when her mother fell ill, Ding Chunyuan took care of her mother while collecting information about the war, and set up a memorial hall. Finally, in September 2005, the memorial hall for the war of resistance against Japan opened.
ask the survivor pavilion to explain the history
construction Commemorative Museum cost a lot, 20 years on the end of how much money Ding Chunyuan did not calculate, the annual maintenance and holding of the cost of activities, there are 30 thousand yuan, also received some support during the period. Japanese women teachers such as Ishigooka Hideko and other peaceful and friendly people have also made huge sums of money to help repair the memorial hall. After she returned to Japan, she also established the support Committee of the Mao Zi Bu war memorial hall, organized more than 500 Japanese friends to visit.
20 years since the beginning of the construction of the museum, the memorial hall has received tens of thousands of visitors, most of whom are primary and secondary school students. As time goes by, there are few survivors of the tragedy, and Zhao Youhai, 83, has been a member of the memorial at the memorial hall, telling how he escaped from the butcher's knife with the help of his fellow villagers. His children worried that he would go to the memorial hall to evoke sad memories, but Zhao Youhai insisted.
over the years, Ding Chunyuan is still collecting evidence of Japanese invaders. The family never understood support. He said he had too much guilt for his family. "But I think, as a Chinese, should not forget history and forget national shame. I did this and left a memory for Mao Zibu village and even later." Ding Chunyuan said that if time went back, he would still choose this way, because this is everyone's responsibility.
