Since the second exhibition of the North Pavilion Cultural History Museum of the Twelfth Division, the 22nd Regiment, the service center has received many precious cultural relics and old photos collected by the masses. At the end of April this year, an old man who was far away from Hebei sent me for many years of old photos through WeChat. In his description, it seemed to open the memory valve of that generation. They are the most beautiful as "golden" years.

The photo was taken in the spring of 1964. It was a group photo of the 222nd regiment (formerly Fubei Farm). At that time, the team was in the busy season of spring plowing and spring. The literary team used noon to carry out condolences. Employees who had had lunch were sitting around the company playground early.

More than 20 players of the literary team not only performed the chorus and Uyghur dance, but also performed the Kermi -Board descriptions, counterparts and other programs created by themselves. The employees and the masses threw the hard work of the work in the song and laughter. After the performance, Zhang Zhenhua, the captain of the literary team, led the team members and the seven leaders to take a group photo.

The 222nd Regiment was built in 1959. The initial reclamation was composed of some veterans of the second army, the sixth army, and the 22nd Corps led by General Wang Zhen. The first entered the wasteland, not only the material life is very difficult, but also the mental life is also very poor.

In addition to the hard work of cadres and employees in the wasteland and building roads, they urgently hoped to get the spiritual enjoyment of literary and art. Therefore, seven or eight literary enthusiasts temporarily organized the literary propaganda group to be at the time of attempt. They usually dispersed to all units. When needed, it is concentrated, edited and directed and performed some programs, and was welcomed by employees.

Until November 1961, the literary and art teams under the jurisdiction of the Farm Propaganda Department were officially established and were responsible for various literary performances of the farm. During their spare time, the team members conducted field labor and greening work.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Literature and Art Team, the farm held the first employee literary performance. The literary team captain Zhang Zhenhua composed and the director of the literary team director Zhou Shuoxun's "Tent is my home" and other programs were selected to participate in the ninth ninth division. Employee amateur literary performance.

In the end, "The Tent is My Home" won the first prize. At the same time, this song was also set to be a must -singing of the army of the Gongyi Division, asking the whole division to sing. In the lyrics, "Carry back and carry the world, the campaign of the Tianshan Mountains north and south ... Don't look at the tent low, it over the Tianshan Mountains, it blocks Gobi Dafengsha ... Army reclamation soldiers take it, where is the hardship where you settle" Truely depicts the feelings of reclaiming, hard work, and music of the Corps.

At the beginning of the establishment of the literary team, there were only 12 fixed members. Later, with the increase in the cultural needs of farm workers, the performance tasks of the literary team also increased, and the members of the literary team reached 20 or 30 people at most.
