Walk into the Birthplace of the Revolution: Jinggangshan 走在革命的發源地：井岡山

井岡山這片紅色沃土，山有故事，水有傳奇。發生在這里的革命斗爭，點燃了中國革命的星星之火，留下了一個個可歌可泣的紅色故事。

“Jinggangshan boasts both red and green treasures. It's China's first rural revolutionary base， but it's also more than that. Jinggangshan is rich in forest resources， which also attracts many tourists，”said Mao Haofu， Jinggangshan revolutionary site interpreter.

“井岡山紅色最紅，綠色最綠。這里是中國第一個農村革命根據地，但卻不僅于此。井岡山擁有豐富的森林資源，也因此吸引了眾多游客。”井岡山革命舊址講解員毛浩夫說道。

Located on Jiangxi Province's southwestern border， the city is characterized by high mountains and dense forests. With 86 percent forest coverage， the city earned the nickname “Natural Oxygen Bar”.

井岡山是江西省的西南門戶，峰巒疊翠。該市森林覆蓋率達到86%，人稱“天然氧吧”。

Gutian， a quaint village of Jinggangshan， is close to the expressway and adjacent to many red tourist sites， but it has explored its own approach to tourism. “Gutian Research and Tourism Base Project， with a total investment of 126 million yuan， is a rural tourism complex integrated with education， farming experience and leisure，”said Xie Yanjun， director of the project. From grinding tofu to weaving Red Army straw sandals， students can get a taste of farming life while learning about “red culture". Born and raised in a city with such a rich history of the Red Army， Xie always felt a natural affinity with the local people and the city. He hopes tourism can help villagers live a better life.

古田村是井岡山的一處古樸村落，靠近高速公路，與眾多紅色旅游景點相鄰，但該村卻自主探索出一條旅游業發展道路。該項目主任謝炎軍介紹道：“古田研旅基地項目，總投資1.26億元，是集教育拓展、農耕體驗、休閑旅游等業態為一體的鄉村旅游綜合體。”從磨豆腐到編紅軍草鞋，學生們可以在學習“紅色文化”的同時體驗一把農耕生活。出生并成長于這樣一座擁有豐富紅軍歷史的城市，謝炎軍向來對當地人民和這座城市有著天然的親近感。他希望旅游業能帶動村民過上更好的生活。

Red-themed tourism is booming recently， and young people are the main force. The hands-on experience in the Jinggangshan research tour offers students a taste of the glory days. Zhou Yixuan， 16， from Shenzhen （Nanshan） Concord College of Sino-Canada said， “I weaved straw sandals and walked on the mud road， which made me experience the difficulties the Red Army faced.”

近來，紅色主題的旅游業蓬勃發展，年輕人成了主力軍。在井岡山研學的親身經歷讓學生們重溫崢嶸歲月。來自深圳南山中加學校的16歲學生周沂軒表示：“編草鞋、走泥路，這些讓我體會到了紅軍所面對的艱難險阻。”

As the cradle of China's revolution， Jinggangshan stands out among the red tourist sites. “Every household here has a red story; everyone here is the successor of the Red Army，”said Mao.

作為中國革命的搖籃，井岡山在一眾紅色旅游景點中脫穎而出。“家家戶戶都有紅色故事;這里的每個人都是紅軍的接班人。”毛浩夫說道。

His grandfather， Mao Binghua， served as the curator of Jinggangshan Revolution Museum's for 21 years. During a holiday at home at the beginning of 2017， Mao Haofu accompanied his grandfather， who was 88 years old but still insisted on working despite the cold， on field research in Beijing and Hebei Province. The experience influenced him deeply and served as an incentive for him to quit his job in Nanchang， capital of Jiangxi， and return to Jinggangshan to pursue his calling—following his grandfather's footsteps.

毛浩夫的祖父毛秉華曾擔任井岡山革命博物館館長長達21年。2017年初，毛浩夫休假在家陪伴祖父，當時88歲高齡的老人家仍冒著嚴寒堅持工作，到北京、河北等地進行實地調研。這段經歷深深地影響了毛浩夫，并激勵他辭去了在江西省會南昌的工作，回到家鄉追尋自己的使命——沿著祖父的足跡前行。
