China News Service, Ninghua, August 31 (Liu Yue) Amidst the intermittent bugles on the radio, the thin Luo Yunqing paced back and forth in front of a red display board.
Although he is 70 years old, his body is still strong. Speaking of his father Luo Guangmao, Luo Yunqing made a joke: “My father’s figure is similar to mine.”
In Luo Yunqing’s impression, his father was very strict and did not Loves to talk, but always works in silence. Therefore, none of the neighbors knew that this silent man was once an outstanding bugler in the Red Army.
Luo Yunqing knew. He had seen a deep wound on his father’s knee. “The bullet penetrated his knee and left a scar. It hurts when it rains and also hurts when the weather changes.”
”He will endure the pain and never shout”

Behind Luo Yunqing, a thin book of Red Army bugle music is lying in a glass display case. It was hard for him to imagine that his father, an ordinary and silent man, had carried this bugle book and blew the loud bugle on the battlefield despite the enemy’s artillery fire.
The score is silent, but it seems that people can hear the echo of the bugle in the red age.
The silent father and the loud bugle
After entering Sanming City, Fujian Province In front of the Ninghua County Long March Spiritual Education Base, members of the “Now we are starting from the beginning – Learning Party History on the Long March” interview and research team may have never seen so many people playing the bugle.
Outside the main entrance of the exhibition hall, “The Wind Exhibits the Red Flag”On both sides of the “picturesque” sculpture, ten statues of Red Army buglers come into view. They are several meters high, holding trumpets and have different shapes, painting a picture of a revolution in full swing.

So many trumpeters The design originated from the “treasure of the museum” here, a copy of the “Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army Military Bugle Book” printed in 1932. This is currently the only most complete, officially published and printed Red Army bugle book in the country. The person who donated this call sheet was Luo Guangmao, an old Red Army soldier.
In Luo Yunqing’s narration, the story of Luo Guangmao’s joining the army is quite legendary: “My father’s mother was a girl. , I will serve tea to the madam later, so there is no further delay. “He was only 15 years old at the time. He was an only son, so his family was naturally opposed to him joining the army. My grandma was very ‘powerful’, so he went out to join the army with his cousin behind my grandma’s back.”
Although he is not tall, Luo Guangmao has a resonant and good voice, so he was selected by the army to be sent to the Central Military and Political School to learn the command number. Upon graduation, Luo Guangmao became a bugler with the “Military Bugle Spectrum of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” issued by the school and the instruction from the head of the army to “protect the bugle spectrum as well as life.”

Later, while fighting the Kuomintang army, Luo Guangmao was unfortunately injured. His knee was hit by a bullet and he was admitted to the Red Army Hospital for treatment. Luo Yunqing said that after the failure of the counter-campaign against “encirclement and suppression”, the hospital was washed away and Luo Guangmao returned home. In the cellar? Who cried? she? It became his temporary residence to avoid capture by the enemy.
However, at that time, the reactionaries were constantly suppressing, and Luo Guangmao had to leave the trumpet score and the mouthpiece he used to his mother for safekeeping, while he went out to work to avoid arrest. As time went by, when he returned, he wanted to When retrieving these two treasures, his mother forgot where the musical numbers were stored due to her old age.
The loss of the musical numbers has been a problem for Luo Guangmao for many years. Luo Yunqing even got a beating because of this. “My father’s mouthpiece is made of copper and is about five or six centimeters long. When I was a kid, I tried to exchange that for candy and got a beating. ”

However, Luo Yunqing no longer held a grudge when he thought of his father’s expression when the trumpet was lost. That was in 1974, not long after his grandmother passed away, and according to local customs, Luo Guangmao had to tidy up his home. Some items in the barn. He found that the Red Army bugle music, which was tightly tied with oil paper, was firmly nailed to the wooden board of the barn.
Although he said that he did not understand his son’s beliefs, the music book was cherished and kept in such a secret. Unfortunately, when Luo Guangmao knew about this, his mother had passed away.
Luo Yunqing couldn’t guess what his father was thinking at that time. He only knew that Luo Guangmao donated the number two days after finding it. “I didn’t even have time to take a look. , I didn’t have time to turn it over. To this day I don’t know what’s inside. ”
“The food must be delicious and the work must be done well”
“In the glass display cabinet, The “Military Score of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army” printed with rough-edged paper and black ink lay there quietly, full of traces of time.
” This bugle book records more than 340 pieces of music and records the numbers and combat commands of many Red Army units., can be called the ‘code book of the Red Army’. “
In the venue, Qiu Minghua, director of the Site Protection Center of the Long March Starting Point in Ninghua County, told the interview group in detail the importance of this Red Army bugle book. ” In the war years when communication means were very weak, this Red Army trumpet book was not only a key tool for Red Army soldiers to transmit information, but also played an irreplaceable role in commanding operations, issuing orders, and arranging daily life. ”

” He gave an example. In the “Flying to Seize Luding Bridge” operation, the Red Army successfully confused the enemy and won the victory through the command of the trumpet spectrum. Therefore, once the trumpet spectrum fell into the enemy’s hands, it would be tantamount to leaking the secret. ” The Red Army officers and soldiers protected the trumpet music to the extreme. Trumpeters like Luo Guangmao, even after being injured and separated from the team, still spent their lives guarding and donating this precious Red Army trumpet music, proving that ‘when people are there, the trumpet music is In’ firm belief. ”
However, after completing this feat, Luo Guangmao “went away, hid his body and reputation” and returned to his own life in a down-to-earth manner.
“He was a very accurate shooter and could shoot down a bird; he was very strong and could lift a barrel with one hand and pour it down at the same time. Drink saliva. “In Luo Yunqing’s memory, these are the few traces of his father’s military service. By the way, there is also the injured leg. That leg was smaller than the other leg, and there were scars left where the bullet penetrated , always aching in rainy days

In addition, after taking off his military uniform, Luo Guangmao is just like thousands of ordinary working people. “Being a bugler does not make him feel particularly proud. My father believed that when he was a soldier, he learned to play the trumpet and when he came back to learn carpentry, he just learned the same thing. ”
Luo Yunqing told reporters that his father had changed many livelihoods: carpenter, farmer, cashier, production team leader. He even tried to do business and sold chickens in the village. . As for the education of children, he is always concise and concise.
”He does not scold children, but if you are disobedient and do something wrong, you will be beaten. He doesn’t talk much and will tell me, ‘Eat well when you eat, and do well when you do things’. ”
This simple and short truth runs through Luo Guangmao’s life. And it is precisely following this truth that under the sound of the hero’s horn, the younger generations We are following the footsteps of our predecessors and seeking a new path of development.
” Marching forward in the clarion call of the new era
”There are three college students in our family. My eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, and my second son. “Luo Yunqing is very proud. Today, his two children are working in Xiamen and Shijiazhuang respectively. The eldest son has started a family and has a happy family.
Although there are many children Luo Yunqing was invited to live in their city for the first time, but he preferred to stay in his hometown. Every year during the Qingming Festival, he went up to the mountain to clean the weeds in front of his father Luo Guangmao’s grave.

This year, Luo Yunqing stayed in Shijiazhuang for more than 50 days. “My eldest son took me to Beijing, went to Tiananmen Square, and climbed the Great Wall. “The former Luo Yunqing could never imagine that he could live such a life.
“Every meal at home used to be vegetables and radishes. My father is not picky about food, he just doesn’t eat spicy food. When the village production team kills pigs, they only get a little bit of meat. Now I can eat meat every day. “
” What has changed even more than the Luo family’s dining table is his hometown of Ninghua. “Now the whole sky has turned upside down, with earth-shaking changes. “Obviously, she no longer opposes the relatives of this sect. Because she suddenly thought that she and her master are such a daughter, and everything in the Lan family will be left to her daughter sooner or later. The daughter recalled that the school she studied in when she was a child was an adobe house made of mud. , have now been transformed into three- and four-story brick houses; in the past, the dirt roads in the village were just over one meter wide, and would become muddy when it rained. Now, there are spacious and flat cement roads everywhere. These changes made him deeply feel the changes of the times. Progress and the development of hometown
