理想信念的伟大远征 ■科特迪瓦陆军大校博维·夏尔人类社会发展史上，总有一些事件，即使经过漫长岁月洗礼，也依旧会被后世铭记、敬仰与追寻。长征，无疑就是其中之一。不久前，我随国防大学国际防务学院外军学员一行前往南昌、瑞金等地参加现地教学，对中国工农红军的历史，特别是长征有了更多鲜活的认知。在云石山、叶坪、沙洲坝等地，每一处革命旧址的讲解员，都会提到革命理想。他们介绍，这理想，是彻底推翻压在中国人民头上的帝国主义、封建主义、官僚资本主义三座大山，建立一个独立、自由、民主、统一和富强的新中国。当时，革命理想是照亮黑暗的真理火炬，也是需要付出鲜血和生命代价的崇高追求。教员告诉我，在中央苏区建立前，从南昌城头的枪声到秋收起义的烽火，为劳苦大众谋解放的早期斗争屡遭挫折。井冈山的星火虽开辟了农村包围城市、武装夺取政权的正确道路，但红军终因强敌环伺而被迫开始战略转移。中央苏区存续的数年间，红军将士在极端困难条件下，粉碎了敌人一次又一次“围剿”。长征途中，红军将士面临数十万敌军的围追堵截，更要战胜严酷恶劣的自然环境。然而，为了心中那份崇高的革命理想，一批批中国共产党人前仆后继、义无反顾。凭借“革命理想高于天”的坚定信仰和钢铁意志，红军最终战胜了千难万险，赢得了长征的伟大胜利。 “长征是一次战略转移，更是一次理想信念的伟大远征。”现地教学期间，教员的讲解发人深省。我深深感到，红军将士的理想与信念，绝非空洞的口号，而是熔铸于脚踏实地的行动之中。送医送药、挖井修桥……中央革命根据地历史博物馆的陈列生动反映出，中央苏区的老百姓不仅分到了赖以生存的土地，还在日常生活中经常得到红军将士的帮助。在沙洲坝，我参观了著名的“红井”，还喝了一口红井水。“红井”是当年毛泽东带领军民开挖的，解决了村民的饮水难题。后来“红井”的故事被写进课本，教育孩子们“吃水不忘挖井人”。漫漫二万五千里征途，红军将士始终是革命理想最忠实的践行者与传播者。打土豪、分田地，宣传革命道理、书写革命标语，红军走到哪里，就把革命理想传播到哪里。即便在极度困苦的环境中，红军将士也严守纪律要求。我对这样一个故事印象极为深刻：3名女红军借宿村民家后，将仅有的一条被子剪下半条留给老乡，留下了一段长久的佳话。长征已经过去九十余年。这场彪炳史册的战略转移，其意义除了军事层面，同时还升华为一种精神图腾。经过接续奋斗，今天中国的面貌，已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。这是许多因素共同作用的结果，但我认为，其中一个重要原因，就在于始终有崇高理想的指引。拥有这种精神，是中国人民的幸运所在，也对广大发展中国家追求进步事业有着深刻启示。（解放军报记者吕德胜采访整理）
