Zhu De's pole
"Zhu De pick food, food is absolutely reliable. Everyone Qi Xin worked together to smash the enemy's encirclement and suppression. " This is a song that reflects Comrade Zhu De's revolutionary spirit of hard struggle in Jinggangshan revolutionary base area and sharing weal and woe with local soldiers and civilians.
1in the autumn of 928, the Kuomintang reactionaries carried out a brutal military "encirclement and suppression" and economic blockade on the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area in an attempt to besiege and starve the soldiers and civilians in the Jinggangshan base area. In order to defend the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area and smash the enemy's plot, Commissioner Mao and Commander Zhu De issued such slogans to the soldiers and civilians in the base area: self-reliance, hard struggle and persistent struggle.
At that time, the troops had to go back and forth to Corning to pick grain, so the Red Army launched a grain picking movement. Committee member Mao, like Committee member Zhu and the soldiers, wore sandals and straw hats, climbed mountains and mountains and personally participated in grain selection.
At that time, Comrade Zhu De was over 40 years old. The soldiers saw him working day and night for the revolution, regardless of his busy schedule, walking the mountain road and crossing the river to pick up food with everyone, for fear of exhaustion. The soldiers advised him: "Zhu, don't pick it if you are so busy." Zhu De thanked his comrades for their concern and insisted on picking grain. When the soldiers saw that persuasion didn't work, they discussed hiding his shoulder pole, thinking that Comrade Zhu De would not be able to pick food without it. Who knows that Comrade Zhu De cut a pole with bamboo again, and went to pick food with the soldiers the next day. When the soldiers saw that Comrade Zhu De had a shoulder pole again, they hid at night. Unexpectedly, on the third day, he appeared in the grain-picking team, and he deliberately engraved the word "Zhu" on the newly cut pole. Commander Zhu De smiled and said to the soldiers, "I will criticize anyone who steals my shoulder pole in the future." Comrade Zhu De's words made the soldiers laugh. Today, this pole is treasured in the Revolutionary History Museum.
Since then, the story of "Zhu De's shoulder pole" has spread all over Jinggangshan and all over China, inspiring the people of the whole country to fight for the victory of the revolution.
