　　The embryonic form of the "September 18" residual calendar stele is two dead wood fossils

　　On the morning of September 18, the September 18th Bell Ringing Ceremony was held in the square in front of the "September 18th" History Museum in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.

On the eve of the 90th anniversary of the September 18th Incident, military writer Hu Shizong interviewed Mr. He Zhongling, the designer of the dying stele, and learned that his creation was inspired by two dead wood fossils.

　　The "Zangli Stele" is a "Taiwan Calendar"-style stone monument 18 meters high, 32 meters wide, and 11 meters thick.

The "Remnant Calendar Monument" recorded: "At ten o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army blew up the Liutiaohu section of the Nanman-Manchurian Railway. They accused the Chinese army of what they had done and captured the North Camp. Our soldiers in the Northeast retreated painfully without resisting orders. The national disaster came and the people Stand up and fight."

　　Mr. He Zhongling, the designer of this "Remnant History Monument", is a professor at Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts and a famous contemporary Chinese sculptor.

A few days ago, Hu Shizong drove to He Zhongling's residence by car for more than an hour and listened to him talk about his fate with the "Remnant History Monument".

　　It was 1964. He Zhongling graduated from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts and was assigned to the Shenyang Garden Department to work in gardening.

In the meantime, when he went to Northwest Liaoning, he accidentally discovered two wood fossils. These are two pieces of rotten wood fossils buried under the strata due to crustal changes 10,000 years ago, with worm-eaten holes and broken young bedrock. His eyes lit up and he felt that these two fossils were like a history book, and the images contained a sense of history of broken mountains and rivers.

　　In 1981, He Zhongling used two rusty iron rings to connect the two fossils, and asked someone to find the desk calendar on September 18, 1931.

In the dark, history actually coincides with the image contained in his fossil woods, and this is how the rudimentary form of the residual history stele came into being.

Later, He Zhongling used plaster to make an architectural model that looked exactly like this dilapidated stele, and was selected for the first National Urban Sculpture Project Exhibition, which was well received and attracted academic attention.

　　In 1991, Wang Shenglie, a famous painter and member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, who was famous for his huge Chinese painting "Eight Women Casting the River", put forward a proposal to build a museum for the September 18th Incident at the "Two Sessions" in Liaoning Province. He Zhongling’s "Remnant History Monument" was adopted. It won the first place among the 62 proposals solicited, and within 3 months it was able to deliver on the spot where the incident happened.

A "Remnant History Stele" that is both a stele and a museum "combination of steles and museums" has attracted the attention of the world. Since then, it has been located in Shenyang, a famous historical and cultural city, and has become a new coordinate for this city. .

　　"During the interview, Mr. He Zhongling, who is 8 years older than me, showed me his initial design sketches, including all the text on the "Wang Li stele", and most of them have been applied to this finished product, which made him extremely gratified. It's just that there are two smooth stone bricks behind the stele, originally designed to engrave the name of his designer, but he resolutely rejected it." Hu Shizong relayed to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter.

　　He Zhongling also said to him, “It’s not like a small work can be signed; this subject is too big, and too many people have participated in the original creation and production. Look at the towering Monument to the People’s Heroes in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, Of those senior sculptors, which one left the name on it?"

　　He Zhongling also took Hu Shizong to visit some of his other draft sculptures. He is 86 years old and has never stopped creating sculptures.
