The Red Rock Spirit

    The political wisdom of perseverance and persistence; the political character of “being immaculate in the mud and not contaminated by the same stream”; the broad-mindedness of treating each other with sincerity and uniting the majority; the heroic spirit of dealing with adversity and preferring hardships to difficulties.

        The Red Rock Spirit was formed in the process of the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, in the great practice of the Southern Bureau headed by Zhou Enlai in creatively implementing the Party’s anti-Japanese national united front, and in the intricate political environment and sharp confrontation of political struggle in the rear area. During the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, a large number of communists of the Southern Bureau always held firm to their ideals and beliefs, extensively united the anti-Japanese democratic forces in the National Unification Area, actively consolidated and expanded the anti-Japanese national united front, and made every effort to safeguard the overall situation of the national war of resistance. They withstood all kinds of temptations in a special environment, withstood the test of life and death, and made great sacrifices for the cause of Chinese people’s liberation. A large number of revolutionary martyrs emerged, represented by Jiang Zhuyun, Wang Pu, Xu Xiaoxuan, Chen Ran, etc., and cultivated the great  Spirit of Red Rock (Hongyan). The spirit of Hongyan is the crystallization of the spirit of communism, the spirit of the nation and the spirit of the times, and is the embodiment of the fine tradition and style of the Chinese Communist Party in a particular historical environment. Jiang Zemin pointed out that “the spirit of Hongyan fully embodies the lofty ideological realm, the vertical ideals and beliefs, the tremendous strength of character and the revolutionary spirit of the old generation of proletarian revolutionaries, communists and revolutionary aspirants. The spirit of Hongyan, like the spirit of Jinggangshan, the spirit of Long March and the spirit of Yan’an, is a valuable spiritual treasure of the Chinese Communists and the Chinese nation.
