Mummy gets to Yunduo’er’s school at 3pm for the solemn ceremony that will induct all kids into the Chinese Young Pioneers (CYP). Yunduo’er stands in a single vertical row of kids, with mummy standing by her, winding a longlingjin round her neck and giving her a gift, just like other parents doing the same thing for their kids. From today on, Yunduo’er is a CYP member or Shaoxiandui.

妈妈下午3点来到学校参加小朋友们中国少年先锋队的隆重入队仪式。云朵儿站在一个单竖排中。妈妈就在云朵儿旁，给云朵儿带上红领巾、赠给云朵儿礼物。其他家长也是站在各自小朋友身边、系红领巾、给礼物。从今天开始，云朵儿就是少先队员了。

I still have a dim memory of a similar induction ceremony when I was in my third grade of primary school, but parents were not there. Different from our times when only those recognized for their exemplary behaviors by teachers qualified to become an honorable hongxiaobing Red Little Guard now known as Shaoxiandui, today kids who reach a specified age are automatically inducted into CYP. Back then exemplary behaviors included good good study day day up, actively taking part in physical labor disregarding hardships, exhaustion or dirt, observing class discipline without making small movements, speaking to others in whispers, learning from shushu Leifeng and practicing haorenhaoshi to be a good person and perform good deeds, taking the initiative to hand in the money lost by someone in public places to teachers or a police shushu, helping elders cross the street, and whatnot.

小学三年级时我也有个类似的仪式，今天还依稀记得，只是父母不在场。现在小朋友只要到年龄自动成为少先队。我们那个年代不同。那时不叫少先队员，而叫红小兵。必须表现优异，被老师认可，有能成为光荣的红小兵。表现好，比如好好学习天天向上；积极参加劳动、不怕苦不怕脏不怕累；遵守课堂纪律，上课不交头接耳不做小动作；向雷锋叔叔学习做好人好事，拾金不昧捡到一分钱主动交给老师或警察叔叔；扶老大爷老大娘过马路；等等。

Teachers told us repeatedly that it was revolutionary martyrs’ blood that that had dyed honglingjin red. Before I became a hongxiaobing, I once had a heated debate with a classmate over why honglingjin are red. Citing the teachers, I said they were dyed red by revolutionary martyrs’ blood while my classmate said they were pieces of red fabric. In my imagination, in battles against enemies, when a revolutionary soldier got hit by a bullet and sacrificed his or her life, someone rushed out and let the blood soak white fabric. The debate ended nowhere. I turned to Mother for help, who said my classmate was right.

红领巾是革命先烈的鲜血染红的，听老师这么说过多次。加入红小兵前我曾跟一个同学争辩红领巾为什么是红的。我记住了老师的话，说红领巾是革命先烈的鲜血染红的，而同学说是红色的布。 我想象中，在先烈们与敌人的战斗里，当革命战士中弹牺牲了，旁边等待的人就赶紧上前让白布被牺牲战士的鲜血染红。我们争了半天也没争出所以然来。后来我去问奶奶，奶奶说是红布。看来同学是对的。

Later I came to realize that red stands for revolution, and revolutionaries didn’t dread deaths because they’d experienced things much more dreadful than deaths in KMT period.

后来才知道红色代表革命，才知道当年革命者不怕死是因为他们在国民党年代见过太多比死还可怕得多的事情。

“We are the successors of communism,” Yunduo’er was singing in the car seeing the revolutionary paintings on street walls of Donglan, Guangxi on the morning of July 28 during our recent travel across the country. We swung by the Red Army town to specifically give Yunduo’er a chance of revolutionary immersion.

今年走中国期间，7月28日在广西东兰看见街墙上的红军主题画儿，云朵儿唱道，“我们是共产主义接班人。”我们短暂拐了一趟这座红军城，就是想让云朵儿感受一下革命氛围。
