China National Airlines and China Central Airlines, jointly founded by the National Government, the United States and Germany respectively, developed into two airlines with hundreds of large passenger and transport aircraft by 1948.
After the three major campaigns were launched, Chiang Kai-shek, who felt that the situation was over, decided to move the two airlines first to Xiangjiang and then to Wanwan.
In May 1949, after Huaye liberated Pujiang, Chiang Kai-shek quickly ordered the two airlines that had already moved to Xiangjiang to start a relocation plan.
In fact, the importance of the two flights was not only understood by Chiang Kai-shek, but also by the mainland.
"So, Premier Zhou, who has been paying attention to his movements," Jiang Shan continued:
"I immediately ordered Comrade Kenong to start the task of instigating rebellion. Comrade Kenong, who was well prepared, quickly contacted the two general managers of the two airlines.
Because after the two airlines landed in Hong Kong, they could not urinate in the same bucket as the local Hong Kong-British Civil Aviation Airlines.
Not only were they exploited at every turn, but they were also threatened several times to force them to move out of Kai Tak Airport."
At this moment, Jiang Shan became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke:
"It's well known to the outside world how favored AVIC and China Central Airlines were in the past. How could they have ever experienced this kind of arrogance?
Therefore, the two airlines, which had long been dissatisfied with the British Hong Kong government, responded positively as soon as they received active contact from domestic comrades.
After some careful arrangements, the pilots who participated in the uprising finally took off 12 planes one by one on a morning in November 1949.
After getting rid of the control of the ground tower, they changed direction and landed at Yanjing and Tianjin airports at noon that day."
When the People's Daily published the news of the "Two Airlines Uprising" on November 10, the whole world was shocked.
"Not to mention the situation over there with Chiang Kai-shek," Jiang Shan said:
“What made him even more angry was what happened later. I don’t know what kind of messages the comrades who returned from the two flights sent back.
The employees of the two airlines who stayed in Xiangjiang secretly organized many large and small uprisings.
In these subsequent operations, a total of more than 4,000 employees and family members of the two airlines were rescued."
Wang Shixiang, who originally wanted to add a few words, was completely shocked when he heard this: "So many people?"
"Not only did they come back," Jiang Shan said, "they also brought back a large amount of aircraft parts and maintenance equipment."
This uprising lasted until 1952.
At last count, they had shipped back 1,500 boxes of equipment and more than 3,600 barrels of gasoline.
Lao Chiang was so distressed that he almost announced that the two airlines were disbanded.
The "Two Airlines Uprising" action is undoubtedly an important turning point in the civil aviation industry of New China.
"In that era when it was impossible to go to heaven, let alone go to sea,"
Under Jiang Shan's narration, several people in the room became a little excited:
"Such a successful uprising that has lasted for many years is definitely a great gift to New China."
Jiang He patted his thigh: "Great job!"
"Well," Wang Shixiang nodded: "It is indeed a good job."
"Uncle," Jiang Shan asked, "you haven't said yet what exactly Chen's brother-in-law did in this uprising?"
"Zhao Jingxin is Chen Meng's brother-in-law,"
Wang Shixiang said: "He was a director of AVIC at the time and one of the 36 planners who followed the 12 planes back to the mainland."
"That is to say," Jiang Shan understood: "He is the earliest group of uprising personnel."
"Yes," Wang Shixiang nodded:
“After receiving Premier Zhou’s instructions, the first comrade Comrade Kenong contacted was Zhao Jingxin’s father, who was in Yanjing at the time.
Later, with the secret help of Zhao Jingxin and others, the two parties successfully established contact..."
Jiang Shan: "If you put it this way, the Zhao family is really one of the heroes of the Lianghang Uprising."
"That's not true," Huang Yongyu thought of this and asked curiously: "Xiao Jiang, how are you going to pay them your 20,000 yuan rent? You have so much money?"
"Uncle," Jiang Shan told the truth, "I'm rich!"
"Don't forget," Yu Sigui reminded: "He and I also set up a company!"
"oh,"
How could Huang Yongyu forget this? He just thought that Jiangshan's company didn't make much money: "Did you bring any money when you went out?"
"How can I carry so much money with me?"
"Then..." Huang Yongyu volunteered: "Do you need me to help you think of a solution?"
"You can't tell, Yongyu." Wang Shixiang really didn't notice: "You are quite rich too!"
"I'm so rich," Huang Yongyu said in a low voice: "Xiangjiang gave my cousin a royalties, which was just enough for 20,000 yuan..."
Before he finished listening, Jiang Shan quickly waved his hand: "Thank you, but my brother will help me get the money."
"I'll take the plane back tonight," Jiang He nodded. He couldn't help but get excited just thinking about getting on the plane: "Then I'll send you the money."
"Well," Huang Yongyu nodded: "That's all."
In the early 1980s, remote withdrawals from personal accounts were not yet possible.
There are many people running around carrying large amounts of cash.
So the two brothers from the Jiang family came up with the idea of airplanes as an easy and fast way to transfer money.
Although the handling fee is a bit high, it is still negligible for Jiangshan.
While the adults were discussing important matters, Jiang Xiaobai's masterpiece was finally completed.
"Wow,"
Yu Sigui was the first to praise: "Xiaobai, you are so awesome."
Several people in the room also really thought it was great. No matter what the child drew, if it stood up to a size of two or three meters, it was already beyond the reach of ordinary children.
For this masterpiece by Jiang Xiaobai, Huang Yongyu gave up the painting project in advance.
"Xiaobai, what did you draw...?"
After careful identification, Yu Sigui finally saw: "Box light?"
"You just realized it's a box lamp?" Huang Yongyu: "Aren't the layers obvious?"
"I just realized it," Jiang Shan said, "The main reason is that Xiaobai's painting is too long, and I didn't understand what it was until I saw it halfway through."
"Yongyu," Wang Shixiang said, "this young disciple is very much like your painting style."
"How can I see it?"
"I like to draw big things."
"Hey," Huang Yongyu looked at the painting and nodded: "The little fat guy does look a lot like me in this way."
"Third uncle,"
Jiang Xiaoyu heard something interesting and asked for his younger brother: "Shouldn't Xiaobai draw such a big picture?"
"Nothing,"
Kind Jiangshan smiled very kindly: "Since ancient times, children's large-scale paintings have always been a treasure."
There were a few ink marks on Jiang Xiaobai's face, and he had the slovenly temperament of an art student: "Uncle Third, did children in ancient times draw such big paintings?"
"That's too much," Jiang Shan picked up Xiao Bai and said:
"There is a treasure in the XJ Museum, which is a homework assignment for a 12-year-old child. Do you know how long this assignment is?"
"Longer than mine?"
"It's twice as long as your painting," the third uncle gestured.
"Just because of this," Huang Yongyu was surprised: "It has become a treasure of the museum?"
"Of course not," Jiang Shan said, "This children's homework is more than 5 meters long. Although there are many typos, the handwriting is neat and correct.
Not only that, this long calligraphy scroll that copied chapters of "The Analects of Confucius·Zheng Xuan's Notes",
Due to the local dry climate, it has been well preserved after thousands of years.
It was not until it was unearthed in the 1960s that the world was able to see the true face of "The Analects of Confucius·Zheng Xuan's Notes" which had been lost for a long time since the Song Dynasty..."
Since 1959, more than 400 ancient tombs have been unearthed in the Flame Mountain area of XJ.
In addition to hundreds of mummies unearthed, a large number of documents from the Tang Dynasty were also unearthed to fill in the historical documents.
"So that's what it is,"
Hearing this, Huang Yongyu took up his pen and wrote on Jiang Xiaobai's painting: "Xiaobai, your painting is also very remarkable."
"Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked happily on behalf of his younger brother, "What's so great about this, grandpa?"
"Only those who have seen Xiaobai's painting will know that there are such wonderful lanterns as box lanterns in the world."
Huang Yongyu, who had only seen the box lamp in his life, smiled and said: "Xiaobai, grandpa likes your painting very much. How about giving it to grandpa?"
"Okay," Jiang Xiaobai said happily: "Grandpa, remember to color it."
"Hahaha," as he spoke, Huang Yongyu had already finished writing: "Grandpa will continue painting another day and let's see what kind of work we can produce together in the end."
