original title: the first photo of Deng Xiaoping at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War in our city. August 22nd this year is the 11th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping's birth. Yesterday, Jiang Xiaoping, a collector in our city, showed the reporter a book "Wartime Pictorial" published 77 years ago. The inside page is a rare photo of Deng Xiaoping. 33-year-old Deng Xiaoping's Wartime Pictorial is the 12th and 13th issues, with 16 folio. It focuses on Shanxi's position in the all-round anti-Japanese war and reports a lot on the battlefield in Shanxi. On pages 14 and 15, the title of the report is "Eighth Route Army Generals Gather in Shanxi", which shows the elegance of senior generals of the Eighth Route Army with many pictures. Among them, Deng Xiaoping's photo is a half-length bareheaded photo with bright eyes and thoughtful thoughts. There are Chinese and English explanations below the photo. Introduction: Jiang Xiaoping, on August 13th, 1937, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out in Shanghai. On September 19th of the same year, China Pictures, with Hu Bozhou as the editor-in-chief, began to edit and publish the number of Wartime Pictorial in the form of an extra number, reporting the actual situation of Shanghai and the whole country. After the fall of Shanghai on November 12th, the magazine withdrew from Shanghai, and the 2 issues of Wartime Illustrated had to be closed. Hao Xueting, director of the research office of the Eighth Route Army Taihang Memorial Hall, who first published photos of Deng Xiaoping in Kuomintang-controlled areas, is an expert in the study of military history in China. Yesterday, in a telephone interview, he said that the special feature of this issue of Wartime Pictorial was that it was the first time that newspapers in Kuomintang-ruled areas widely reported the results of the Eighth Route Army since the start of the war. "Deng Xiaoping's photos are very rare. This is the first public photo of Deng Xiaoping in the Kuomintang-ruled area after he served as the deputy director of the Eighth Route Army Political Department in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. Since then, this photo has never appeared in the publications of the Eighth Route Army and the publications about Deng Xiaoping after the founding of the People's Republic of China. " Hao Xueting said that shortly after entering Jin, he participated in the anti-Japanese cooperation as the deputy director of the Eighth Route Army Political Department and the representative of the Eighth Route Army in the General Mobilization Committee of the Second World War, which promoted the all-round development of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Shanxi. Besides, Pictorial also published photos of Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and Peng, deputy commander-in-chief. According to Hao Xueting, these photos were taken by Shen Yiqian, a special correspondent of China Pictures magazine and a patriotic painter in modern China. He wrote the first anti-Japanese poster on the streets of Shanghai. In 1938, Shen Yiqian was elected as the director of the China Art Society. At that time, there was a pamphlet "The Glorious Air Combat in Wuhan on February 18th", in which his cartoon "The Sound of Singing in the Air in Wuhan" was published. From then on, Shen Yiqian organized his own battlefield sketch team and personally served as the captain, with footprints all over the frontal battlefield. He has painted portraits of Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Deng, He Long, Ma Zhanshan, Feng Yuxiang and other military and political dignitaries, and has been signed by the painter. In 1944, Shen Yiqian was assassinated twice by traitors in Wanxian, Sichuan and Chongqing, and mysteriously disappeared in Chongqing on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the same year at the age of 36.
