In order to promote the unity and cultural exchanges of all ethnic groups, the Central Committee organized a cultural visiting delegation, including Lao She and Ye Shengtao, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association. In July, the delegation visited our region for sightseeing at the invitation of President Ulanhu, and arrived in Hailar today, 3 1 July.
On August 2nd, Lao She and his party visited Baiyinhada Ranch in Chenbaerhu Banner, 75km away from Hailar City. In August, the grassland is rippling with green waves, birds and flowers are singing, and the Le River in the morgue flows quietly on the grassland. Lao She, who felt the prairie for the first time, looked excited. He said, "I saw the grassland, where the sky is bluer, the air is fresh and the sky is clear, which makes me always want to sing a song to express my pleasure." But it's not endless. There are mountains on all sides. The flat land is green and the hills are green. The sheep went up the hill for a while and then came down. Wherever you go, it's like white flowers embroidered on the horizon. Jiangnan may not have such scenery! "
At the end of the pasture, a group of cavalry appeared in the distance. Men, women and children immediately put on gorgeous national costumes, and the silent grassland suddenly became lively. In the yurt, a 70-year-old master poured mellow milk tea, milk powder and milk tofu, and soon served mutton and milk wine. Commune cadres and masters frequently toasted Lao She, and Lao She also repeatedly responded. Ewenki girls at this time are all wearing milk powder and milk tofu. They wore colorful robes and sang folk songs for the guests. After dinner, the boys performed wrestling, horse racing and horse riding, and the girls danced beautiful national dances. Lao She was moved by the warm atmosphere, joined the dance and rode boldly for a while. As the sun went down, Lao She clung to Old Master Q's hand and refused to let go for a long time, saying good wishes over and over again.
On August 3rd, the delegation arrived in Manzhouli and visited Hulun Lake. Hulun Lake is the fifth largest freshwater lake in China, and is known as the jasper in the north and the pearl of grassland. This 2300-square-kilometer lake is as magnificent as the sea. Lao She and his party boarded the cruise ship to watch, only to see the lake sparkling like green brocade. Fishing boats in the distance move slowly, teasing flocks of waterfowl to fly up and down; Pastoral and horseshoe sounds on the grassland near the shore. Lao She felt as if she were standing in front of a moving landscape painting. This picturesque scenery inspired Lao She's poetry creation, and he couldn't help chanting loudly: "Yuan Qiu is at the end, before the green waves. The lake is wide with three rivers, fish and grass are full of springs. Hundreds of gulls are full of flowers, and the blue waves reflect the sky. Looking back at Manzhouli, the northernmost frontier. "
On the same day, Lao She and his party also watched fishermen trawling in the fishing ground and rolled up their sleeves to share the joy of labor with them. Hulun Lake left a deep impression on Lao She. He once described the fishing ground of Hulun Lake in his article: "This fishing ground is neither in the East China Sea nor Taihu Lake, but in the northernmost part of the motherland, not far from Manchuria. I'm talking about Hulun Lake. If anyone doesn't believe they can fish in the frontier, please. He will realize how great the motherland is. There are not only sandstorms and camels in Inner Mongolia. As the predecessors said, Inner Mongolia is not beyond the Great Wall, but a treasure with rich resources, which is indispensable for building the motherland! It is said that how deep the water is here, the fish will be fat. We eat fish in the lake, which is very fat. The water is good, so the fish is fat. There are three rivers flowing into the lake, all of which pass through the grassland, so the lake is a thousand hectares-the grassland is green to the end and the green waves are in front. There are many Bai Ou flying on the lake. Fishing boats wander between Bi 'an, Cuihu, Qingtian and Bai Ou. We went to visit the lake. It was a young man from Guangdong who was very handsome and was not afraid of the cold in winter. No matter what country he is, he works here happily. He likes literature and has read many famous literary works. He won't hide in a warm library because he likes literature. He wants to touch the hard ice in the winter in the north and fish it out for support all over the country. Yes, although there are endless treasures in Inner Mongolia, if no one wants to take them, forget it.
On August 4, the delegation arrived in Yakeshi City, and then entered the forest area through the dry river to visit the virgin forest. Lao She was shocked by the beautiful scenery of Lin Hai in Daxing 'anling, and could not help but exclaim loudly: "The loveliness of Daxing 'anling lies in its beauty, and it is not empty. Its beautiful Qian Shan, evergreen all the year round, happens to be associated with fragrant sand and excellent materials. Therefore, the integration of its beauty and architecture not only makes us applaud and marvel, but also makes us feel warm and cordial.
On August 12, Lao She and his party also visited Zhalantun, which is known as Suzhou and Hangzhou beyond the Great Wall. The beautiful scenery here also made Lao She linger and wrote the poem Zalantun.
