1935年中央红军长征途经禄劝九龙,21名因伤病未能随军转移的红军战士被捕后宁死不屈,跳入金钟山落水洞牺牲。
中新网昆明9月6日电 (缪超 黄兴鸿)今年是中国工农红军长征胜利90周年。前来云南省昆明市禄劝县“红军洞”瞻仰祭奠的人们络绎不绝。面对远道而来的瞻仰者,今年90岁的白品柱热情接待、耐心讲解。
1935年,中央红军长征途经禄劝九龙,白品柱的母亲王福英冒着生命危险,为红军送水送粮、缝补干粮袋,红军战士严守“不拿群众一针一线”纪律,临别时坚持赠送她一对银耳环。
当时,有21名红军战士因伤病未能随军转移,不幸被捕。面对敌人威逼利诱,他们宁死不屈,纵身跃入金钟山的落水洞,用生命诠释了信仰,这个落水洞从此被称为“红军洞”。
白品柱的母亲临终前含泪嘱托他,“红军是为了我们穷人才牺牲的,你要常去看看他们。”

1957年起,白品柱便开始守护“红军洞”,宣讲“红军洞”的故事。每年清明,他总会带着祭品,提前一小时来到“红军洞”烈士陵园,弯腰清除台阶杂草、细心擦拭墓碑尘埃。
1992年退休后,他放弃安逸的退休生活,把时间精力投入红色宣讲,不求一分报酬、不图一丝名利。为还原历史真相,他奔走几十个档案馆查阅史料,反复核对细节,确保每一段讲述都真实可信。
为了让故事更鲜活,他还翻山越岭、走村串寨寻访当年红军过禄劝的亲历者及其后代,把碎片化的记忆串联成感人至深的英雄史诗。
白品柱总是用心用情讲好每一场宣讲,面对党员干部,他讲初心使命、讲清廉本色;面对普通群众,他讲英雄壮举、讲家国情怀。
如今90岁高龄的他,腿脚不便、听力下降,仍坚持清明、春节上山祭扫。只要有人前来瞻仰,他必亲自引路、全程讲解,从山脚讲到纪念碑前,一字一句、深情恳切。
家人劝他歇歇,他总说,“来的人都是真心缅怀英烈的,我亲口讲给他们听,才最有诚意。”
有一次,几名外省游客慕名前来,恰逢天降小雨,山路湿滑难行,家人劝他不要去讲了,他却摆摆手,“人家大老远来,不能让他们空跑一趟。”说完便撑着旧伞,深一脚浅一脚地引路、讲解一个多小时,雨水打湿裤腿却浑然不觉。

九龙镇的每一所中小学,都是白品柱的“流动讲堂”。每年清明,他都会用朴实语言、真挚情感,为孩子们讲述那段血与火的岁月。
他不和孩子们讲空洞的大道理,而是讲述红军战士的英勇无畏、宁死不屈,讲今天幸福生活来之不易。许多孩子说,“听了白爷爷讲的故事,让我们懂得了红领巾为什么那样红,明白了今天的幸福生活多么来之不易。”
白品柱对红军故事的义务宣讲,早已化作醇厚家风,在家族中代代传承。在他言传身教下,儿子白当文、孙子白朝磊主动接过接力棒,加入守护“红军洞”、义务宣讲红色故事的行列。(完)
