China News Service, Beijing, March 18 (Reporter Wang Kai) Nowadays, many people are pursuing healthy meals with "less salt", but everyone knows how unpalatable dishes can be without a little salt.
But in Ningdu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, every household has a strange habit of drinking "salt-free soup". Why?
This dates back to 1931, when the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic was established in Ruijin in November of that year.
In order to stifle the Soviet government in its cradle, the reactionaries not only launched five large-scale military "encirclement and suppression" against the Central Soviet Area, but also imposed a strict economic blockade on the Central Soviet Area, with the intention of not allowing "a grain of rice, a pinch of salt, The "spoon of water" fell into the hands of the Communist Party and the Red Army.
This resulted in a serious shortage of supplies in the Soviet area, especially salt shortage. Many soldiers and masses were short of salt for a long time and their bodies were swollen and wounds were not easy to heal, which seriously affected the fighting capacity of the Red Army.
In order to support the front line and allow the Red Army soldiers to eat salt, the people of Ningdu proposed that "do not add salt to cooking, but not to add salt to steaming soup." They just saved the precious salt from the teeth and used it all to support the front line.
Many years later, salt is no longer a scarce item for Ningdu, but the local people's custom of drinking "salt-free soup" has survived.
In the eyes of others, this plain bowl of "salt-free soup" seems dull and tasteless.
But the proletarian party, which is deeply rooted in the masses of the people, can taste a kind of "true taste" from it, a taste of blood connection, a taste of life and death.
Looking back on the history of the party, there are more than tens of millions of similar moving stories?
What is the common people's contribution to support the Communist Party and the People's Army more than salt?
Just like that old song sings-the last bowl of rice is used as military rations, the last piece of cloth is used as military uniform, the last piece of cotton jacket is covered on the stretcher, and the last son is sent to the battlefield...
Whether it is the Long March of the Red Army or leading the people to resist aggression; whether it is liberating the whole of China or building a new socialist China, the Communist Party of China has been able to keep up with the wind and rain, and it is inseparable from the wholehearted support of the people.
It is precisely because of this that the Chinese Communist Party has the confidence to meet any challenges and tempers.
There was a song by the Red Army soldiers during the Jinggang Mountains period: "Red rice, pumpkin soup, autumn eggplant, fragrant, and well-done. Dry straw, soft and yellow, covered with gold silk, not afraid of north wind and heavy snow, warm Warm and fall asleep."
In such a harsh environment of struggle, the Communists are able to ridicule the difficulties they encounter with an optimistic attitude and a humorous tone, not only because they have a firm belief, but also because they know that there are thousands behind them. The masses of the people will never forsake the wind and rain together.
To this day, as General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, the foundation of the Communist Party of China lies in the people, and the blood lies in the people.
Starting a new journey and moving towards a new goal, the flesh-and-blood connection between the party and the masses is still a powerful guarantee for the pursuit of high-quality development and the realization of the grand blueprint.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, every Communist should taste a bowl of "no salt soup" at the spiritual level, empathize with the blood of the party and the masses, and keep in mind that everything is for the masses, everything depends on the masses, from the masses to the masses. The mass line to go among the masses.
