奔涌不息的黄河,是中华民族的母亲河。她用她那甘甜的乳汁哺育了千千万万勤劳勇敢的华夏儿女,创造出了灿烂的中华文明,也流淌着多少传奇的故事。然而,她也有桀骜不驯的一面,她不甘于河道束缚的任意纵横,也给中华民族带来了沉重的灾难。据记载,从先秦时期到民国年间的2540多年中,黄河共决溢1590多次,改道26次,3年两决口,百年一改建。洪水北抵天津,南侵江淮,在冀、鲁、豫、皖、苏25万平方公里的范围内纵横泛溢。频繁的决口改道,给下游广大地区人民带来了深重的灾难。因此,黄河也曾被称为“中国之忧患”。 岁月如流,沧桑叠错。中国历史翻过沉重的一页后,昨天的战乱、饥饿、兵器、狼烟便消失在历史长河里。 然而,影响历史前进脚步的那些事件,是不会被人们遗忘的。 我与熊先煜先生认识已经数年,熊老生前是重庆市文史馆员、民革成员,年年列席市政协全会。但真正了解他,则是在一次政协全会期间。纯属偶然,我听说熊老是佟麟阁将军的三女婿,便冒昧敲门,与之攀谈。不料熊老话匣子一打开,让我听了个目瞪口呆!就是眼前这样一位慈眉善目的白发老翁,亲自指挥了1938年6月震惊中外的黄河花园口决堤:而在此之前4个月,依然是他指挥炸掉了黄河大铁桥。 The surging Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. She used her sweet milk to nurture thousands of industrious and brave Chinese children, creating a brilliant Chinese civilization, but also the number of legendary story. However, she also has an unruly side. She is unwilling to be arbitrarily constrained by the river and brings heavy disaster to the Chinese nation. According to records, from the pre-Qin period to the Republic of China in more than 2540 years, the total number of the Yellow River spilled over 1590 times, diversion 26 times, three years and two bursts of mouth, a hundred years a rebuilt. The flood arrived in Tianjin to the north and invaded Jianghuai to the south, overflowing vertically and horizontally within a range of 250,000 square kilometers in Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu. Frequent bursts of diversion have brought deep disaster to people in vast areas downstream. Therefore, the Yellow River has also been called “China’s worry.” Years flow, the vicissitudes of life stacks wrong. After a heavy page in Chinese history, yesterday’s war, hunger, weapons and wolf smoke disappeared in a long history. However, those events that affect the course of history will not be forgotten by people. I know a few years ago with Mr. Xiong Xiangyu, Xiong Lao-sheng was a former Chongqing Municipal Cultural History Librarian and member of the Revolutionary Committee, and attended the Plenum of the CPPCC every year. But really understand him, it is during a plenary session of the CPPCC. Purely by chance, I heard that the bear is always Tong Lin Ge’s third son-in-law, they take the liberty to knock on the door and talk to them. Unexpectedly, the old story box opened, let me hear a dumbfounded! That is a benevolent white-haired man in front personally command in June 1938 shocked the Chinese and foreign Yellow River Huayuankou embankment: And before 4 months, still He directed the bombing of the Yellow River Iron Bridge.
