Xifeng is located in the south of Guiyang, more than 200 miles away from Guiyang, and it only takes about two hours by train.
Speaking of Xifeng, it is the famous local Yanglang chicken.
In addition, there are five words that cannot be avoided: Xifeng concentration camp.
It was one of the three concentration camps during the Kuomintang period, and it was as famous as Chongqing Baigongguan and Zhazidong. Built in 1938.
Xifeng concentration camp is a local "university" holding "important criminals" from all over the country.
The prison in the concentration camp was named "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and letter", and the word "Zhai" was added as the cell name.
The "prisoners" here are not allowed to introduce their names. People should address them by numbers.
General Yang Hucheng's family, his wife Xie Baozhen and his son Yang Zhengzhong are being held here.
Later, because it was close to the highway, it was easy to be found, and the general was sent to Xifengtian Xuandong for detention.
Now in Xifeng County, you can see a station called Hucheng Building and a road called Hucheng Avenue.
Ma Yinchu was once held here, and now he still has a complete relic.
A low, cold, damp basement, more than 10 square meters, surrounded by moldy Shi Zhuan, rotten wooden bed covered with shabby moldy straw mats, dirty wooden barrels, food, drink, pull and sleep all in it.
I stood in my cell, the sun was shining outside, and my heart was full of fear, which extended from the soles of my feet.
Martyrs of Song Qiyun are being held here. He is the secretary of General Yang Hucheng. He has a son named Song Zhenzhong. Maybe we prefer to call him "radish head".
According to the survivors' memories broadcast in Xifeng Exhibition Hall
"Little radish head" has a big head, big eyes, sallow and emaciated face, black teeth and a slender neck. At the age of eight or nine, he was only four or five years old.
He has never seen candy and cake in his life.
"He often goes to Huang Xiansheng's uncle to learn math, Russian and Mandarin. His pencil is only the length of his finger. Before handing in his homework, he must practice repeatedly on the ground with his only steel nail until he is satisfied. But when he saw that I liked it, he gave me his only steel nail. " A survivor who grew up with Radish Head recalled.
At present, there is still a list of books he borrowed at that time in the cell where "Little Radish Head" is held. I remember one of them is: Arabian Nights.
Xifeng concentration camp also has a complete cell. This passage is cold and wet.
The further you go, the more you resist. Without light, it is hopeless darkness.
There is a place in the concentration camp called "Cat Cave", or rather a burial grave, where the living rarely come out when they go in.
For example, there is a criminal law called "Pima Dai Xiao". First, you have to beat people up, then wrap them in linen covered with glue, and then take them off at once.
According to an old man who volunteered to move the bones at that time, the "cat hole" went downhill, and there was a water dungeon with various instruments of torture. When people die, they are buried on the spot. The bones dug out in those days had a thick layer, and some bones were still in chains when they were dug out.
Now, the hole of the "cat hole" has been sealed and tourists are not allowed to enter.
In Xifeng concentration camp, history is naked in front of the world.
Hundreds of dead souls, brick boards soaked with blood.
Let you be shocked, jumpy, unforgettable and deeply shocked.
But history has also moved away from people now year after year. Seeing is not as good as hearing, and seeing cannot be compared with personal experience.
With the death of survivors, perhaps no one can really feel the pain of that year.
