In order to promote national unity and cultural exchanges, the Central Committee organized a cultural visiting delegation, including Lao She, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, Ye Shengtao, vice minister of education and others. 1961July, the delegation visited our region at the invitation of President Ulanhu and arrived in Hailar on July 3 1.
On August 2nd, Lao She and his party visited Baiyinhada Ranch in Chenbaerhu Banner, 75km away from Hailar City. On the grassland in August, green waves are rolling, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, 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. The sky here is bluer, the air is fresh and the sky is clear, which makes me always want to sing a song to express my pleasure. Under the sun, it is thousands of miles away, but it is not endless. There are mountains on all sides, the ground is green and the mountains 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 a scenery! "
As we approached the pasture, a group of horses 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 for the guests, and soon served mutton and milk wine. Commune cadres and masters frequently propose toasts to Lao She, and Lao She repeatedly retaliates. At this time, Ewenki girls wore pointed hats and colorful robes and sang folk songs for the guests. After dinner, the boys performed wrestling, horse racing and horse riding, and the girls danced beautifully. Lao She was moved by the warm atmosphere, joined the dance and rode boldly for a while. As the sun set, Lao She clung to his master's hand and refused to let go for a long time. He said the words of blessing 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 has a magnificent style like the sea. Lao She and his party boarded the cruise ship to watch, only to see the lake sparkling, swaying like a 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's youth has come to an end, and it is in front of the green waves. The lake is three rivers wide, and the fish are fat and the grass is spring. Hundreds of gulls are stuffed with purple, 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 the fishermen. Hulun Lake left a beautiful and 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 in Taihu Lake, but in the northernmost part of the motherland, not far from Manzhouli. I'm talking about Hulun Lake. If someone doesn't believe that he can catch fish in the frontier, please ask him to see for himself. When he gets there, 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, how fat the fish are. We ate the fish in the lake, which was very fat. Water is good, so 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. What a charming scenery! We went swimming in the lake, and the boat was sailed by a young man from Guangdong, who was very handsome and was not afraid of the cold in winter. No matter what country, he worked happily here. 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 winter in the north and make a profit to support various places. Yes, although there are endless treasures in Inner Mongolia, even fish will die in the water if no one wants to take them. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of this good young man. I'm sure he will forgive me. He won't come for fame and fortune. "
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 Fangxia and excellent materials. So its beauty is integrated with architecture, which not only makes us clap our hands and applaud, but also warms our hearts, so it is kind and comfortable. "Lao She witnessed the grandeur of Daxinganling and wrote a poem entitled" Daxinganling ".
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.
