內容簡介
The picture-story book The Long March: 1936 is the companion volume of The Red Ribbonon the Earth.
The Red Ribbon on the Earth narrates the Long March stories of the Red Army prior to October, 1935 Before completion of The Red Ribbon on the Earth in 1993, I had hoped that the original author Wei Wei could write a sequel to finish the Long March stor.ies after October 1935, so that I could continue my painting. But Wei Wei indicated that he was already advanced in years, and his ability didn't equal to the ambition. In that circumstance, I did not stick to my request. However, it became an unfulfilled wish in my heart.
Since then, I devoted myself to oil painting on historical theme especially that of the Long March. But single pieces of historical oil painting differ after all from a picture-story book, whose advantages of all-dimensional, multiple-layered and multi-viewed narrative expression continued to attract me unceasingly. Finally, 20 years after my creation of The Red Ribbon on the Earth, I was determined to write and paint the sequel all by myself about the Long March after October 1935. Hence The Long March:1936 came into being.
This book falls into three parts, namely, "The foundation stone laying ceremony: the Central Red Army amves in north Shaanxi", "The great manoeuvre: the 2nd and the 6th Army Corps' military expeditions in Hunan-Yunnan-Guizhou", "The great force-joining: the 1st, the 2nd and the 4th Front Red Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants join forces . It has a total of 614 pieces of painting.
In 2006, at the commemoration of the 7oth anniversary of the Long March victory, the Xinhua News Agency sent several delicate pages of The Red Ribbon on the Earth as news pictures to a variety of social media. At that time, they also felt regretful for the missing one year in the history of the Long March. However, tlus year at the commemoration of the 8oth anniversary of the Long March victory, they will no longer have such regrets.

曆史的側影:探尋光影與塵封的年代 《烽火年代的微光:個體命運與時代洪流的交織》 本書並非聚焦於宏大的軍事敘事或政治決策,而是選擇瞭一條深入曆史肌理的道路,通過對特定曆史時期——抗日戰爭爆發前後,中國北方某縣域——的細緻描摹,展現瞭在時代巨變的風暴中,普通民眾的生存狀態、精神世界以及他們與周遭環境的復雜互動。 本書的敘事核心圍繞著一群在曆史夾縫中掙紮求存的個體展開。我們聚焦於一傢世代經營傳統手工業的傢族,他們的命運與當地的經濟生態緊密相連。隨著日軍的蠶食和國民政府政策的調整,這個傢族麵臨著前所未有的睏境:傳統技藝的失傳危機、年輕一代對新思想的嚮往與對傢族責任的拉扯、以及在物資匱乏和安全威脅下的日常抉擇。 第一部分:寜靜下的暗湧 開篇將讀者帶入一個看似平靜卻暗流湧動的鄉村圖景。通過對早晨集市的生動描繪,我們得以窺見那個時代城鄉物資交換的模式、人們對糧食與食鹽的焦慮,以及隱藏在日常寒暄之下的政治敏感度。重點刻畫瞭縣城內幾個關鍵人物:一位堅持儒傢思想的退休老塾師,他堅守著舊秩序的道德標尺,卻對外部世界的劇變感到無力;一位從城市歸來的青年教師,他帶來瞭新的教育理念和對民族危亡的緊迫感,成為激發周圍人反思的催化劑;以及一位手藝精湛但沉默寡言的工匠,他代錶瞭傳統手藝人的堅韌與保守。 書中詳盡記錄瞭這些人物在特定事件中的反應。例如,一次縣裏組織的小規模募捐活動,如何在不同階層間引發瞭關於“救國”的不同理解和執行方式。有慷慨解囊的鄉紳,也有心有餘而力不足的貧苦農民。這些細節共同構築瞭一幅復雜的社會橫斷麵圖,揭示瞭在國傢危機麵前,社會階層的反應層次與內在張力。 第二部分:秩序的瓦解與重建的嘗試 隨著局勢的惡化,外來的衝擊開始直接影響到個體生活。本書並未直接描寫大規模的戰役,而是聚焦於“邊緣效應”——戰爭如何通過間接方式滲透到每一個傢庭的內部。書中詳細描述瞭日軍“掃蕩”對地方經濟的摧毀,如對牲畜的徵用、對農作物的破壞,以及由此引發的流民潮和山林中的隱秘抵抗。 我們深入探討瞭“鄉紳治理”模式在麵對現代化軍事力量時的脆弱性。地方士紳試圖運用傳統的人情網絡和威望來維持穩定,但麵對更殘酷的暴力邏輯,他們的努力往往顯得徒勞。這種“軟權力”的衰退,為新的地方勢力和民間組織提供瞭滋生的土壤。 書中特彆設置瞭一個章節,專門探討女性在這一時期所扮演的角色轉變。在男性大量參軍或逃亡的情況下,女性開始承擔起傢庭經濟的主要責任,甚至參與到情報傳遞和後勤支持中。通過一位深居簡齣的寡婦,我們看到瞭傳統女性的堅韌如何轉化為一種適應亂世的實用主義智慧。她對物資的精明管理、對流言的準確判斷,構成瞭抵抗體係中不可或缺的一環。 第三部分:記憶的碎片與未來的投射 後半部分著重於個體在極端壓力下的精神景觀。本書描繪瞭在通訊中斷、信息閉塞的環境下,謠言如何成為主要的“信息載體”,以及人們如何通過口耳相傳的故事來構建對敵人的認知和對未來的期盼。 書中穿插瞭許多關於民間信仰和習俗的記錄。在無法依靠現實力量保護自己的時候,人們對神靈的祈求、對祖先牌位的敬畏,成為他們維係心理平衡的重要方式。這些儀式的描寫,不僅展現瞭濃厚的地域文化色彩,也反映瞭在曆史的巨大慣性麵前,個體對“不變”的渴求。 最後,本書將目光投嚮瞭戰爭間歇期,即在主要衝突暫時平息後,幸存者們如何麵對滿目瘡痍的傢園和被永久改變的生命軌跡。那一代人並未能清晰地看到最終的勝利,他們隻是在廢墟上重建瞭下一季的播種計劃,在殘存的鄰裏關係中摸索新的相處之道。本書以一種剋製的、近乎人類學考察的筆觸,描繪瞭這種“生存的韌性”——它不是高尚的口號,而是對日齣而作、日落而息的樸素渴望。 全書避免瞭宏大敘事帶來的失真感,堅持從泥土中汲取細節,力圖還原一個被宏大曆史敘事常常忽略的、充滿復雜人性與日常掙紮的“側麵曆史”。它試圖迴答的問題是:在曆史的關鍵轉摺點上,那些未被寫入教科書的瞬間,是如何塑造瞭最終的曆史走嚮的?
