Village History And People's Life In Taihang Mountain During The Anti-Japanese War

The Taihang Mountain is the best place in the North China hinterland,and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.After the War of Resistance Against Japan began,the Communist Party of China established the Taihang Mountain Anti-Japanese Anti-Japanese Base on the basis of Taihang Mountain.Since then,the masses in the Taihang Mountain Area and the Communist Party of China have begun an eight-year anti-Japanese struggle.Farmers who have been under feudal rule for a long time have backward thinking.The Communist Party of China wants to integrate with the masses,ranging from the construction of village power and agricultural production to the daily life of every villager.In the face of a new organization like the Communist Party and such new groups,the attitudes and ideas of the villagers are also extremely important.Under the cruel war and the influence of the Chinese Communist Party,the lives of villagers began to change.Xiazhuang is a representative village in Licheng County,where tradition and red coexist.The social changes and villagers' living conditions during the eight years in Xiazhuang are a microcosm of the actual situation in the Taihang base area.Xiazhuang has a long history,and the villages before the war were famous for the prevailing style of writing.The village had manyarable land but uneven distribution,and the villagers lived in poverty.After the War of Resistance Against Japan began,Xiazhuang attracted a large number of party,government,and military institutions because of its special geographical location and the majority of educated people.At this point,the lives of villagers began to change.The first is the mass mobilization,the establishment of party organizations and the development of militia,the second is to work with the villagers to cope with the disaster and develop agriculture,and the last is to change the culture.In this process,the villagers' ideological change is the most important.The rectification of the party members,the ideological education of the militias,the stability of the masses in the face of disasters,and continued cultural education,the villagers began to accept and believe in the Communist Party.Party members take the lead in production and mutual assistance to increase production,so that villagers can have enough food to guarantee their lives during the war,and villagers also use their own means to return to them,join the army,pay food and money to support the war,and the villagers and the army gradually merge into one.The villagers in Xiazhuang are "unfortunate".The war burned down the houses and the fields were deserted,but they were "lucky".Under the leadership and influence of the Communist Party of China,the majority of poor farmers were allocated land and their lives were guaranteed;women became part of the textile movement.The outstanding position has been improved;badhabits such as gambling and drug use have been eliminated,villagers have accepted new ideas,and education has continued to develop.The changes in Xiazhuang over the past eight years prove that the CCP's policy in the Taihang Mountains is correct.Under the leadership of the CCP,the Taihang District has gradually grown into an important battlefield behind the enemy and contributed an important force to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
