Talking about the past in Jiulong Village
"Dragon" is the totem of the Chinese nation, which plays an important role in Chinese culture and has many stories and legends. Recently, the reporter walked into Jiulong Village, Datang Town, Xincheng County, Laibin City, Guangxi, and listened to the local people telling the story of Jiulong Village.

Along the rolling mountain road, the reporter came to Jiulong Village in the southeast of Datang Town. There are six natural villages under the jurisdiction of Jiulong Village, including Jialong Village, Jiuwai Village, Banjia Village, Badu Village, Badu Village and Shiti Village. With Jialong Village and Jiuwai Village as the main bodies, they are named after two natural villages, so they are called "Jiulong". In addition, the local people often compare the mountain to a dragon. Because the terrain of Jialongtun is long and narrow, it is like a long dragon entrenched at the foot of the mountain, so it is called "Jialong".
There are 676 households with 2412 people in Jiulong Village, which is connected to Zhaidong Village in Datang Town and Xinqiao Village in Andong Township in the east, Andong Village in Andong Township in the south, Zhainan Village in Datang Town in the west and Zhaibei Village in Tangtang Town of Beijing Jiaotong University. Here is beautiful scenery, known as the "land of fish and rice".
"To understand Jiulong Village, we must first understand Lalongtun, which is now Jialongtun." Mai Xiaohui, former secretary of the Party General Branch of Jiulong Village and director of the village committee, told the reporter that according to the tombstone unearthed in the village, Lalongtun was founded in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when the ancestor Mai Laobai moved here with his family from Nandan County, Hechi, to breed offspring. Therefore, the surname of Mai is the main name in Jiulong Village. Because there are two big banyan trees at the entrance of the village, the village is named "Lalong", which means "under the banyan tree" according to the local Zhuang pronunciation. Later, a "Dragon Fair" was set up in the southwest of the village as a trading market. It can be seen that Jialongtun was once prosperous.

According to reports, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out in 1937, and the villagers in Jiulong Village advanced wave after wave and fought bravely against Japan. Villager Mai Shufang, as a machine gunner, used only two machine gun bullets to defeat more than 100 enemies. Later, some villagers joined the Chinese Expeditionary Force and went to Burma to fight against Japan. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression’s victory, Mai Shufang returned to Lalong and often recalled the eventful years of the battlefield with the young people in the village.
In front of the battlefield, the hot-blooded men in Kowloon fought bloody battles for their country, and the people in the rear were not soft in the face of the enemy attack. In June 1945, the desperate Japanese army retreated to Liujiang after being defeated from Yishan and Qianjiang, and a large number of troops fled from Baizi ‘ao to Liuzhou along the main road (now the second road of Liuyong), and some fled to villages such as Zhaidong, Jiulong and Zhainan in Datang Town. After the Japanese army fled to Datang, they were eager to collect grain and found Mai Yunji, a bandit in Jiuwaitun. Although Mai Yunji was a bandit, he was in a national disaster and knew the national justice. After collecting the food, he moved to the village and tricked the Japanese army into sending troops to attack Mai Yunji in a hurry. Mai Yunji also counterattacked the Japanese army.
The "Zhaimen" in Jialongtun, Jiulong Village has still been preserved.
Because Jiulong Village is only two or three kilometers away from Baiziao, Ligao Town, Liujiang District, Liuzhou City, in order to drive the Japanese army to Baiziao in one fell swoop, the China army joined forces with the local armed forces, while the masses cooperated in the rear. "There was a villager who didn’t have time to escape, and he met the Japanese army. The two men wrestled together, but they ran away. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured." Mai Zenglu, deputy director of Jiulong Village Committee, said that under the pressure of our army and the assistance of local people, a large number of Japanese troops were almost wiped out in Baiziao. Therefore, Baiziao is also called "Devil’s Depression".
"Castle Peak is fortunate enough to bury loyal bones, so why they died with their boots on?" During the Anti-Japanese War, Kowloon people fought bravely and paid the price of blood. After the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Party, the people in Jiulong Village lived better and better, successfully got rid of the "poverty hat" and lived a happy life.
"Now, when the villagers are free, they will sing and dance under the banyan tree, and the cultural and sports activities will become more and more lively." Mai Xinju, secretary of the General Party Branch of Jiulong Village and director of the village committee, said that in the future, under the leadership of the party committee and government, Jiulong Village will vigorously develop characteristic industries, strive to break through the 500,000-yuan mark in the collective economic income of the village, and strive to build a beautiful Kowloon with civilized village style, simple folk customs and harmonious family style.
