Before I came to work here, I knew nothing about the history here. As I mentioned in my last article, we are now repairing and rebuilding the castle city built by widow Wu An in Beijing (that is, changing the villagers' modern buildings from house to house into ancient buildings). Reconstruction is the slogan of the government, and the workmanship and materials are far less than the rest. Our craft can be done completely, and the government has limited funds, which is very helpless.
The local old people and old ladies said that the city was well protected after liberation. A central leader visited here and was amazed when he found it. He said that such a nice house is not for poor and middle peasants. In the end, the city was "alive" by the name of the village and built a new house. I heard that they didn't rebuild the foundation, but built houses directly on the old foundation. There are two existing places, one is Xiang Ying Palace.
The scene of workers eating noodles on the balcony after work in the movie "White Deer Plain" was filmed here. There is also a famous red base, the Wu 'an Youth Training Class Memorial Hall. Interested friends can check the information.
The widow is a talented woman. She makes good use of her talents and manages well, which brings the declining business of the Wu family back to life and opens branches all over the country. The industry involves the whole people's livelihood, such as pawn shops, drug shops, salt shops, wine shops, grain shops, rice shops and so on. And the combination of agriculture, commerce and real estate is really a jingle that was circulated among the people in those days. The Wu guy from state to county, don't eat in other restaurants, also don't live in other stores. Really domineering.
Besides, the widow has a good reputation in the local area. At that time, Eight-Nation Alliance and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to xi 'an to raise money from the local chaebol to save the country, but they failed to raise money. Finally, the widow limped over and told Empress Dowager Cixi how much money she needed to make up for it. Empress Dowager Cixi was amazed and moved, named the widow "Mrs. Yipin" and gave her a book "Mrs. Protecting the Country". Widow Wu An was grateful to tears. (Lameness is a saying of local old people)
After understanding this period of history, standing on the glorious land of that year, I have a lot of thoughts and I feel the changes of history. In the era of frequent wars, a weak woman bears the responsibility of a family, a party, a famous family and even an era. We salute her. She is a bright moon on the Qinchuan River for 800 miles and a flower on the Weihe River for 3,000 years.
