Chapter 107 History of Chongqing
"They are each other's lovers and comrades."
"They raised the sun, but they themselves remained in the darkness forever."
"Comradeship!"
"I join you" is just a few words, but it really shocked me. 】
"Almost, they will be liberated. Almost, their children will be able to see this world..."
"The beauty is unique, Danxia's loyalty remains unchanged, and the Chinese heroes live forever!"
"One is willing to show his hand, the other is willing to join."
"Almost, I can see the red flag flying, almost, I can enjoy a comfortable life..."
"Remember history and cherish the memory of the martyrs."
"The sun is about to rise over the horizon, but you died before dawn." It makes me cry.
"They fought endlessly in the night just for the sun that transcends the world, but fell at the closest place to it.
"does it worth?"
"worth!""
……
The sound of the video came continuously, and the hearts of the people under the sky seemed to be led by this nameless emotion, tears poured down, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
No matter they were common people from various dynasties, court officials and generals, or common merchants, students and poets, they watched in silence, but the fire in their eyes showed that they were not at peace.
Although I already knew that this powerful country was built out of ruins, I still couldn't help but feel moved when I saw the sacrifices and dedication of these people.
A cry was heard.
Then, many people couldn't help crying out loud.
Everyone has a selfish side. In chaotic times, the great powers trampled on their own land at will. Some people surrendered to the enemy, some people turned a blind eye, but there was also this group of people who existed to save the country and the people. They had long since given up their lives just for that sincere heart.
Ying Zheng said with admiration and a slightly complicated look:
"The establishment of a great country is inseparable from this group of people. They sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. This is a blessing for future generations!"
Li Si responded in a deep voice, if all the people who rebelled against the fall of the dynasty were as determined as this, it would be hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse. However, such people had experienced the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty and the oppression of the great powers, so they could have such a character. It was a matter of time and fate.

The next second, a picture of a standing modern building appeared.
This is Chongqing, the vast Chongqing.
The 8D magic city is just its gorgeous appearance, but does anyone know what Chongqing really looks like?
[I just found out that Chongqing also has its own history textbook.
When talking about Chongqing, many people may think of hot pot and light rail, but for children who grew up in Chongqing, the tunnel tragedy in the history textbook may be the most impressive.
[The existence of air-raid shelters is common yet mysterious. Almost all of the underground has been dug, and there are countless air-raid shelters (gas stations, libraries, museums...), so it has become an Internet celebrity symbol of Chongqing.
80 years ago, in order to destroy our nation's will to resist the Japanese, Japan launched an indiscriminate bombing of Chongqing for six years and ten months.
After learning more about it, I realized how sad this tragic history is.
It was the most brutal aerial massacre the world has ever seen. 】
Looking at the gray wall that recorded the time, casualties and property losses, everyone frowned.
Although I have seen many massacres during this period, I can't hide my anger when I hear about the "good things" done by Japan.
[The Japanese calculated that one bomb could kill an average of 5.5 people in Chongqing.
Japan dispatched more than 9000 aircraft and dropped many bombs, killing many Chongqing compatriots in this indiscriminate bombing.
They even threatened to raze Chongqing to the ground like London.
They thought they could succeed, but in the midst of the war, we did not surrender. Instead, we dug out more than 1800 air-raid shelters with our bare hands.
At that time, there was a popular saying in Chongqing:
"Explode! I'm not afraid. I'll go into the hole if you come."
So the Japanese changed their strategy - if they couldn't kill them with bombs, they would trap them to death. 】
[On the evening of June 1941, 6, everyone had let down their guard and was preparing to spend the night, but air raid sirens sounded all around, and residents hurriedly hid in the air-raid tunnels, causing this tunnel, which could originally accommodate a maximum of 5 people, to be instantly packed with tens of millions of people.
The 24 planes sent by the Japanese army outside were divided into three batches and were carrying out large-scale bombing.
The tunnel was already crowded, and five hours of continuous bombing had caused a serious shortage of oxygen in the tunnel.
Many residents experienced difficulty breathing, so they wanted to go to the cave entrance to breathe fresh air, but the people at the cave entrance wanted to escape and squeezed in, causing chaos in the tunnel several times.
They stayed in the cave for dozens of hours.
In the end, thousands of people suffocated to death.
This is the "June 5" tunnel tragedy.
It is hard to imagine what it feels like for Chongqing, one of the "three major furnaces", to have everyone squeezed into a narrow corridor.
Although we don’t study Chongqing’s history textbooks, we should at least understand this history. We should also know that Chongqing is not only an internet celebrity city, but also a heroic city.
This city was won by the blood of many of our ancestors. The Internet celebrity city is only temporary, and the hero city is its permanent label. 】
Rather than holding up your phone and using the Jiefangbei as a check-in site for an internet celebrity (the deepest bomb crater in the Chongqing bombing is right under the monument), you should remember that it is a monument commemorating the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Compared with the Light Rail Line 2 that passes through buildings, Chongqing Rail Line 3, which was once ridiculed for its name, should be remembered more.
"The final stop of this train is 9 km"
This subway line is named after a few kilometers, which seems very random, but behind it is the countdown of supplies and victory. 】
"Every province has its own history textbook, and the heavy history should not be forgotten."
"I think I learned in junior high school that the cover of the book looks like a martyr's tomb."
"The Chongqing bombing lasted for six years and ten months."
"Yunnan also has its own unique three-life education."
『Three Gorges Museum[Picture]』
"When I understood the meaning of a few kilometers, I stopped laughing."
"Japanese people are never allowed to enter Chongqing's air raid shelter hotpot."
Suffocated to death? Not killed in battle, nor massacred, but forced to die hiding underground. Everyone was silent.
After looking at the map, I know that Chongqing's geographical location is far away from the invading forces along the coastal areas, but even so, it is still affected by the war.
Looking at the black and white pictures appearing on the video, there are outdoor scenes as well as crowded scenes inside the air-raid shelter.
Outside, everyone on the stairs fell down, some were naked, lying naked on the ground when they died, and planes in the sky were circling and dropping bombs.
But did the people of Chongqing surrender? The answer is obviously no. The words "the more bombing, the stronger we become" show their attitude.
Facing the light, the stone steps go up to the cave entrance, and the audience seems to break out of the darkness and walk towards the light.
They were once again shocked by the way people traveled in later generations, passing through walls between floors, which is unimaginable now.
……
The video below is even more moving, conveying a sense of family and country as well as positive energy.
