【篇一:西柏坡英文导游词】
xibaipo, a name echoing the glory of chinas revolutionary
history, is an ordinary 100-household village located in
pingshan county, hebei province. in may 1947, the partys
working committee chose this location and in may 1948, under
the leadership of comrade mao tse-tung, the partys central
committee and the headquarters of the chinese peoples
liberation army moved to this village. this made it the last rural
command center prior to the decisive battles between the
communist party and the kuomintang. xibaipos unique
contribution to the revolution has thus bestowed upon it a
name that shines in the history books of the chinese revolution,
setting up a historical monument with eternal glory.
in 1991 zhu muzhi, who was minister of the information office
of the state council then, wrote this inscription for xibaipo: the
destiny of china was determined in this village. his inscription
speaks highly of xibaipos historical status in china’s
revolution.
new china set off from here is a famous comment attributed
to the writer yan tao when he wrote a literary report on xibaipo,
entitled notes on the road to the east. this comment was also
used as a subtitle for the document, and is now widely quoted
as the best synopsis of xibaipos historic contribution.
xibaipo was selected to be the command center for both the
liberating of china and the planning of new china for various
reasons. not only did its unique geographic location and
natural surroundings best suit this purpose, xibaipo also had
developed into a strong revolutionary base over the years and
therefore stood out for its political preeminence.
xibaipo is a small village located on the northern banks of the
hutuo river running through the jixi mountainous region. not
only does it have beautiful scenery, but also rich and fertile
soil. the village is located in the middle of pingshan county, at
the crossroads between the north china plateau and taihang
mountain. poised in a horse-foot-shaped valley oriented
toward the sun, xibaipo is surrounded by mountains on its
three sides and by water on one side. to its west, it embraces the gateway to taihang mountain, and to its east, it borders the
jizhong plateau. the village is only 90 km from shijiazhuang, a
strategically important city in the north china region. xibaipo
enjoys convenient transportation facilities and is distinguished
as a military location of strategic importance. occupying this
location provides for flexibility in either withdrawing into the
mountains at a time of emergency or for advancing into cities
when necessary.
revolutionary activity started early in pingshan county. during
the period of the great revolution in the 1920s, the party set up
its own organization here. by 1946, there were 608 branch
offices, and the number of party members had increased to
19,535, from just 30 members in 1931. the party gained popular
support at the grassroots level. after the war against the
japanese invasion, pingshan county was surrounded by two
revolutionary bases, i.e. shanxi-chaha’er-hebei and shanxi-hebei-shandong-he’nan, and located here were the command
posts of the 4th as well as the 2nd military sub-areas within the
shanxi-chaha’er-hebei region. the headquarters of the partys
northern bureau, the shanxi-chaha’er-hebei regional
government and the shanxi-chaha’er-hebei military region
were also located in pingshan county for three and half years.
pingshan is seen as a model county in the shanxi-chaha’er-hebei region, and xibaipo regarded as a model village. xibaipo
set up its party organization in 1937. by 1948, the number of
party members had increased to 40 members coming from 33
households, accounting for 12.3% of the total population and
33% of the total number of households. in the neighboring area,
the villages were lined up quite densely along the hutuo river,
with an average distance of 1 to 2 km from each other. xibaipo
was close to both the mountains and the river, and known for
its rich and fertile soil. given its favorable agricultural
conditions, xibaipo has two harvest seasons each year. when
commenting on the economic conditions in xibaipo and
pingshan, general nie rongzhen noted: pingshan county can
be perceived as the ukraine of the shanxi-chaha’er-hebei
region. the relatively developed agricultural economy helped to
guarantee logistic support to both troops and the common
people, and provided a material base for the partys central
committee.
