中新网宁波9月29日电 (骆泽明 朱涵)“这份荣誉属于每一位‘红孩子’和‘红爷爷’。”近日,在浙江宁波镇海区招宝山街道城东社区,镇海区红色宣讲员陈伟高说。
近日,招宝山街道城东社区党委书记朱君莹向陈伟高献上鲜花和“微笑镇海·厚德润城”木刻拓印版画。
当天,陈伟高入选2026年第三批“中国好人榜”。今年恰逢中国工农红军长征胜利90周年,这位年近八旬的老兵用近二十年的脚步丈量长征路,用17年的坚持为山区孩子送去10万余册图书,将信仰的力量播撒在东海之滨与西南大山之间。
陈伟高的红色情结,源于童年记忆。1947年11月,陈伟高出生在镇海这片浸润着红色血脉的热土上。他是听着奶奶讲革命故事长大的,记忆里最深刻的物件,是一口从抗日战争的废墟中扒出来的铁锅,那是家园被毁后仅剩的家当,也刻着一代人的苦难记忆与不屈风骨。
1964年,17岁的陈伟高穿上军装,奔赴援越抗美战场,历经炮火硝烟的严酷洗礼。转业返乡、扎根地方后,他全心投身扶贫公益事业,先后70余次深入贵州、重庆、四川等偏远山区。仅在贵州普安一地,他就牵线援建15所学校、5家图书馆,资助500余名失学儿童重返校园。亲历过战争的苦难,也见证过山乡发展的巨变后,陈伟高说:“信仰的力量,更在于精神的传承。”
带着这样的信念,2009年刚退休的陈伟高再次启程。他跨越六省,数次重走中央红军长征路,并先后十余次走访黔西南州普安县辣子树村。他将自身参战经历、长征史实考据、扶贫一线见闻融会贯通,打磨成一堂堂鲜活的红色宣讲课。
常年奔波在山区,陈伟高深知山里孩子对知识的渴望,也明白红色精神的滋养不能仅停留在课堂的几十分钟里。2009年,他在走访辣子树村小学时,看到零星几本课外书被翻得卷边散架,孩子们趴在窗前好奇地张望。这一幕触动了他,也让他萌生了“书知天下”公益阅读活动的念头。
自此,每年“六一”儿童节,他都会精心挑选红色经典书籍,免费送往西南山区学校。17年来,他一次次翻山越岭走进受捐学校,站在课堂上为孩子们讲故事:讲红军长征途中“彝海结盟”的民族团结佳话,讲扶贫时和村民一同栽下的成长树,讲昔日漏风漏雨的“杈杈房”如何变成了如今宽敞明亮的新楼房。
截至目前,陈伟高已累计开展宣讲716场,直接覆盖青少年10余万人次;由他发起的公益阅读活动累计送出图书10.8万册,惠及贵州、四川等地225所学校。“我相信,在孩子心里种下的红色种子,终有一天会长成参天大树。”他说。
