I was lucky enough to go to northern Shaanxi during the National Day and drove 1,800 kilometers to Tongchuan, Yan'an, and Yulin. Although the transportation is well connected, the scenic spots are far apart. In addition, the development is not on a large scale, there is a lack of experience in management and guarantee, and there are insufficient highlights in each place. The tourism promotion is not very effective and there are only a few tourists. For example, Hukou Waterfall is divided into Shaanxi side and Shanxi side. The Shanxi side is more popular. The Danxia landform in Wave Valley is far less famous than Zhangye Danxia. But fortunately, there is also the holy land of Yan'an on the northern Shaanxi Plateau. People traveling westward can never forget this place and go to Yan'an. This slogan once experienced a large number of people with lofty ideals rushing to Yan'an. Countless young people regard this as a holy land, and until now , go to Yan'an, and hearing it is still exciting.
Speaking of Yan'an, I remembered a post I saw on the Internet before, and I remember it deeply. The netizen told a story about the centenary anniversary of a middle school. In preparation for the anniversary, the school organized and summarized the photos in the archives for promotional brochures, etc., and found a A photo from the 1930s. In the photo, there are several energetic student faces with shining eyes and high spirits. On the back of the photo is written "Go to Yan'an" in pen. There is no other information. What are the last names of these seniors? The name is unknown, but this photo touched and inspired these juniors and sisters who were at the same school a hundred years later. This netizen said with emotion that his alma mater has become even more glorious because of it.
When you come to the urban area of Yan'an, you can still see some signs of "less development". From the map, you can see that the entire urban area of Yan'an is in the river valley. The construction roads are distributed in a Y-shape along the Yan River. The feeling of being in it is very... It is narrow. When driving in the city, you will soon see that behind a certain community is Dahuang Tupo. When staying at a hotel in the city center, the parking lot is muddy when it rains. The Yanhe River is like a dry Yellow River, turbid and with very little water flow. , the riverbeds on both sides are almost exposed, not to mention the occasional sandstorms. Nowadays, things have changed, and Yan'an has not yet ranked among the ranks of economically powerful cities. This is inseparable from its natural geographical environment, and we can even think of the harsh environment it faced a hundred years ago. But it is in this environment that the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries can still be positive and optimistic, self-reliant, work hard, pioneer and innovate, and look at the whole of China.
Yan'an Revolution Memorial Hall
The Yan'an Revolution Memorial Hall is the exhibition hall with the most detailed thematic exhibitions and the best services I have ever seen. It introduced Liu Zhidan, Xie Zichang and others who led the early armed struggle. Only then did I discover that Zhidan County and Zichang City commemorated this event. I think that maybe this is what Xin Qiji wrote in his poem about "earning fame during and after death" when he changed his name after the two revolutionary martyrs. He protected the interests of the people during his lifetime, devoted himself to the great cause, and has been remembered by the people after his death.
Near the end of the exhibition, there was a video exhibition area, which played a color restored version of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. I stopped and watched it from beginning to end. The color video seemed more realistic and close. I saw one detail, Premier Zhou's visit to the Tiananmen Rostrum. I looked around as if looking for the staff, and then exchanged a few words, just like when we organize activities on weekdays and suddenly find a problem and rush to the person in charge to solve it, of course I am giving myself a bonus by saying this, but in At that moment, I suddenly felt that Premier Zhou's image became more vivid and amiable. Just like around us, he was just organizing an event seriously and meticulously. It was just this event that meant so much to us. major.

Nearly a hundred years ago, Snow embarked on a westbound slow train and walked into northern Shaanxi to explore Red China. This time I went to northern Shaanxi, and my impression of the Loess Plateau changed. There was no flying loess. When the autumn wind blew, all I saw was the rolling golden waves in the fields.
When I came out of Zaoyuan that day, there was a road lined with national flags. I took a photo of me walking forward with my head held high as a souvenir. This road is so beautiful.
