Knowing the History, Loving the Party, Keeping the Original Heart, and Forgetting the New Journey of Progress


In the season when orioles fly and grass grows during the Qingming Festival, it is a time to remember the revolutionary martyrs and rekindle patriotism.
On April 1, 2023, on the eve of the Qingming Festival, the party branch of Jiangsu SIMAND Electric Co., Ltd. held a theme party day activity entitled "Knowing History, Loving the Party and Keeping the Original Heart, Striving Forward to the New Journey". Party members visited and studied at the patriotic education base - the New Fourth Army Taihu Guerrilla Team Memorial Museum.
Reviewing history and paying tribute to the martyrs
The New Fourth Army Taihu Guerrilla Team Memorial Museum in Suzhou is located in the beautiful Chongshan Mountain in Taihu Lake. It is a city-level patriotic education base built to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the New Fourth Army Taihu Guerrilla Team's "Chongshan Breakout".
Firstly, under the guidance of the memorial's guide, the members of SIMAND party branch visited the three main exhibition halls in order, reviewing the arduous journey of the establishment, reconstruction, and expansion of the New Fourth Army Taihu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment.
The area along Taihu Lake in the west of Suzhou was an important guerrilla area for the New Fourth Army Taihu Guerrilla Team during the Anti-Japanese War. Here, there are many mountains and lush forests, numerous rivers and lakes, and the coastline is winding, with lush reeds and many islands, providing favorable conditions for guerrilla warfare. The Taihu Guerrilla Team relied closely on the masses, cooperated with the main force, fought hard, swung their weapons south of the Suzhou-Wuxi section of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and appeared in the vast Taihu Lake. They persisted in the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla War in the western Suzhou and southern Wuxi areas for a long time, smashing the frequent "clearing" and "sweeping" operations of the Japanese puppet army, hitting the enemy's arrogance, and defending the people in the western Suzhou and southern Wuxi areas until the complete victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
The simple tables and chairs, the rudimentary combat tools, and the yellowed letters all show the hard combat conditions of the New Fourth Army soldiers at that time; historical scenes such as the reed marshes, communication boats, and contact stations during the Anti-Japanese War are reproduced, making people feel as if they are in that passionate era of fighting in blood and fire.
Never forget the original intention and take the oath solemnly
In front of the New Fourth Army Taihu Guerrilla Team Memorial Museum, there stands a statue of five heroes. They are Xue Yonghui, Yan Yueluo, Wang Jian, Zhang Yun, and Li Xinggen, who were the protagonists in the "Chongshan Breakthrough" that took place in Suzhou at the time. These five Taihu Guerrilla Team fighters, with the help of dense and lush reed marshes, fought with hundreds of Japanese puppet soldiers for 20 days, smashed the enemy's attempts to eliminate anti-Japanese forces, and wrote a heroic song that moves the heart.
Members of SIMAND listened carefully to the heroic deeds of the martyrs, stood to look at each revolutionary relic, each segment of history, and were deeply touched.
In front of the five-hero stone statue of the New Fourth Army Taihu Guerrilla Team Memorial Museum, the party members of the SIMAND Party branch, facing the spring breeze and the party flag, revisited the party membership oath and solemnly swore with a powerful voice.
Remember the heroes and remember history. Heroes are the brightest coordinates of the nation, the most solid backbone of the times, and the brightest bottom color of history. The Jiangsu SIMAND Party branch will use revolutionary heroes as a guide and patriotic history as a mirror, to strive forward and never stop!
