Chapter 30 Captain Xiao's first flag-raising ceremony



In fact, Xiao Zhen can only serve as the team leader for this semester of the fifth grade, which is actually only the last month.

However, Xiao Zhen still fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations conscientiously and responsibly, organizing everyone to make blackboard newspapers and arranging personnel to check everyone's hygiene conditions at the school gate.

Xiao Zhen also organized class leaders from each class to clean the cafeteria.

Xiao Zhen also organized everyone to visit the county's temporary capital information museum and explained to everyone the various struggles of the party organization during the temporary capital period.

He was an eyewitness, so he could talk about many things easily and his stories were particularly interesting and vivid.

The staff at the museum all wanted to get this handsome little boy to be a volunteer tour guide on weekends.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhen agreed immediately. He believed that as an "old revolutionary", he had an obligation to tell people today about his past struggle experiences.

Every weekend, Xiao Zhen would come to the library and give lectures from 10:00 to 12:00.

On Monday of his first week as the team leader, Xiao Zhen finally became the main flag-raiser. In order to ensure standard movements, he completed the training after school on Saturday, and then dragged his teacher Tian to march in step for an hour and a half.

"Does the town need to be so serious?" Teacher Tian asked puzzledly.

"We should take everything seriously, don't you think so, Mr. Tian?" Xiao Zhen said casually.

In fact, only Xiao Zhen knows the real reason, which is for the raising of the red national flag.

The fruits of victory, wrought with countless sacrifices and tears, were exchanged for this bright red flag.

Only a revolutionary witness like Xiao Zhen, who grew up as a child and a teenager, could care so much about this red flag.

Before returning home, he went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought a national flag for himself.

After dinner, we played the national anthem again and again in the yard and practiced flag-raising while marching in step very seriously.

This action made the three Americans and two Europeans feel deeply moved, and they realized how much the child loved his motherland.

Xiao Zhen practiced until 10:00 PM, when his grandmother sent him to bed.

The next day, after finishing the training, the little guy started practicing again in the yard at home.

The five members of the coaching team just watched the little boy practice marching over and over again.

They were thinking that it was no wonder that their country of five people lost to the newly established New China in the 1950s. Just look at the attitude of their talented students towards their own national flag.

Early Monday morning, Xiao Zhen, wearing a white sportswear, arrived at school half an hour early.

He first went to look at the flag and rope that would be raised soon, and carefully straightened out the tangled ropes. He then took out the flag, ironed it flat, and folded it into a tofu block before returning to the classroom for morning reading.

After the Athletes' March played, he knew the first flag-raising ceremony was about to begin. He asked Wang Chang to bring his stool and then went to the equipment room to wait for the flag-raising ceremony with the other four people.

All the students in the school noticed that their school celebrity Xiao Zhen was marching in step differently from others. If his father was there, he would say that his son had murderous intent.

When the national flag was thrown out, Xiao Zhen listened to his classmates singing the national anthem. He held up his hands and watched the red flag rise to the top intently.

Wang Chang saw tears in the corners of his small town brother's eyes, so he walked over and handed him a handkerchief to wipe them.

At the meeting on Monday, the school announced that a group visit to Zhazidong and Baigongguan would be held on Wednesday.

Xiao Zhen rarely asked for leave from Teacher Wang. Xiao Zhen didn't want to see Little Radish Head, who was his little playmate, and he couldn't accept everything he saw.

It was because the "old revolutionary" Xiao Zhen had developed the habit of placing an extra escape route in his residence that he was able to escape.

Little Radish Head did not escape. It was after that incident that he was sent to the liberated areas to study, learn martial arts and other subjects.

Why did he shed tears when he was raising the flag today? He remembered the time when he followed his uncle Xiao Zheng to attack Huang Wei’s Corps in North China.

In order to raise the red flag, soldiers had to fight one after another to build it up.

After school in the afternoon, Teacher Wang called him and told him that he had to participate in a group activity on Wednesday. Sometimes people have to be able to withstand various pressures and emotional impacts to become real men.

Xiao Zhen told the coach that he wanted to relax this afternoon, and the coaching staff agreed.

It's good for children to have some rest since they are young. Their students are already very self-disciplined.

The coaching staff pulled Teacher Tian along and started drinking melon seeds, peanuts and beer on the playground.

Xiao Zhen looked at those people speechlessly. Even the observer teacher from the provincial team was dragged to the beer party.

Xiao Zhen sat alone on the parallel bars and looked at Nanshan Mountain in the distance. Home and people no longer existed in this time and space!

On Tuesday, Xiao Zhen chatted with his grandparents for a long time. Yes, they were very lucky to be able to live until the liberation.

On Tuesday, Xiao Zhen tried to calm himself down and followed his classmates to visit Hongyan Village, Zhazidong and Baigongguan.

He still shed tears outside the cell of Little Radish Head. Some emotions could not be suppressed.

This even surprised his teacher Wang. Xiao Zhen only saw the pencil, which he bought for Little Radish Head.

Xiao Zhen felt a little too depressed to be alone, so he ran outside to wait for his classmates to finish the tour.

Teacher Wang came over and hugged his overly sentimental genius student.

Xiao Zhen's mood finally returned to normal with the constant comfort of his teacher Wang.

When the class was dismissed that afternoon, Teacher Wang announced that we had to write a review of the visit.

Xiao Zhen did not take the bus back with his classmates. He went to Zengjiayan and several other places.

When he got home, he spread out the paper and started writing. Primary school students were required to write 800 words, but Xiao Zhen wrote 23,000 words, "The Red Flag of Victory: Every Flag is Forged in Blood."

The next day, it was handed to Teacher Wang, and all the sentimental teachers in the classroom and office burst into tears.

After the article was sent to Principal Wang, even someone like him was moved to tears.

"The Red Flag of Victory: Every Flag is Forged in Blood" is an impression of Xiao Zhen, a student from Class 5 and 6 of Yudong No. 2 Primary School, after visiting the Revolutionary Memorial Hall.

It was published in Sichuan Daily and Chongqing Daily, and three days later in Dazhong Daily with an editorial and editor's note.

This article was published at the perfect time, as those noisy guys outside are no better than an 8-year-old fifth-grade student.

But these guys are basically poor people. When they are in their fifties or sixties, they encounter the epidemic and remember that they have a motherland that is becoming increasingly powerful. They are really thick-skinned.

After Xiao Zhen wrote this 23,000-word article, the coaching staff and his grandparents saw that this little guy was more serious and hardworking.

Xiao Zhen also figured it out. He had to live seriously and make every day count for his sacrificed revolutionary comrades.
