Memories of Iron and Fire—The Changlexuan Industrial Relics of the Anti-Japanese War

Stepping into the Changlexuan Industrial Relics of the Anti-Japanese War, the air seems to still carry traces of smoke and rust. This land of yellow earth once witnessed the solemnity and resilience of wartime, with every brick and tile bearing the strength of a nation. Amid the crumbling walls and broken remnants, the outlines of the old factories are faintly discernible. The machinery and cave dwellings, eroded by time, stand like silent epics, narrating the era of blood and fire. Walking through the site, a sense of reverence arises from within. This is not a bustling tourist attraction but an open-air classroom of history. The simple yet sturdy structures remind me of the predecessors who held onto their beliefs despite harsh conditions. Standing on the plateau and gazing into the distance, the wind brushes through the wild grass, whispering a reminder to future generations: peace is hard-earned. This journey is not just a trip but a heartfelt encounter with history.
