●刘金桥 作家朱秀生长篇军垦题材小说《甜棉花》由新疆生产建设兵团出版社出版，这部小说以棉花种植为叙事 基底，聚焦脱贫攻坚背景下的兵团连队变迁，字里行间充盈着对军垦文化的深情礼赞与对兵团精神的由 衷颂扬。 小说叙事聚焦于2016至2020年中央精准扶贫政策推行的关键时期，将故事舞台设置在七师偏远的宿星滩 农场"零连"，这是一个以棉花种植为核心产业的连队。那时的零连正经历着转型的阵痛：部分职工因经 营不善连年亏损，不少年轻人选择离开团场另谋出路。面对困境，零连连长司俊三、党支部书记柳建设 毅然扛起责任，坚决落实精准扶贫政策，带领职工开辟致富新路。在这群奋斗者中，兵团劳动模范马同 喜的形象尤为鲜明，他与牧区牧民"像石榴籽一样紧紧抱在一起"的互助精神，是民族团结的生动注脚。 在马同喜等新一代兵团人的血脉中，延续着父辈传承的红色基因，完成了军垦精神的代际接力。 在这部小说中，作家以恢宏的叙事笔触，在零连的发展变迁中勾勒出兵团发展的辉煌轨迹。从昔日农技 人员身背药壶穿梭田间，到如今无人机在棉田上空精准喷洒；从人工采摘棉花的艰辛劳作，到"巨无 霸"采棉机全面替代人力；从"萝卜白菜洋芋蛋"的简单饮食，到家家户户年夜饭的丰盛菜 ...

新疆舞 杨之光绘 新疆伊犁河畔，夜幕降落朱雀湖时，第一缕琴声便从水波里流溢而出。宽大游廊下，几位哈萨克族老人 抱着冬不拉，指尖拂过琴弦的刹那，《草原之夜》的美妙旋律，缓缓流淌在可克达拉的晚风里。曲调悠 扬处，一位白发老兵挺直了腰板，衣襟上挂满了军垦勋章，明亮的眼神越过粼粼波光，投向66年前篝火 升腾的芦苇滩。 正是那片寂寞荒凉的原野，孕育了这首经典的"东方小夜曲"。1959年早春，八一电影制片厂导演张加毅 策马行至可克达拉。荒原辽阔，暮色四合，唯见芦苇丛中跃动着一处篝火——军垦战士收工后围坐烤火 取暖，有人随手拨弄都塔尔琴弦，不成调的曲子裹着风声。张加毅下马询问，火光映亮一位青年的明眸 皓齿。 "唱爱情，唱劳动，唱我们想要的好日子!"朴素的话语，如星火击中张加毅的心田。他倚靠在马鞍上， 摸出口袋里皱巴巴的烟盒，借着篝火的微光奋笔疾书："美丽的夜色多沉静，草原上只留下我的琴声， 想给远方的姑娘写封信，可惜没有邮递员来传情。等到千里雪消融，等到草原上送来春风，可克达拉改 变了模样，姑娘就会来伴我的琴声……"字句随火星飞溅，烫穿了荒原厚重的夜幕。 刘金祥 如今，张加毅纪念馆矗立在可克达拉。馆内陈列着当年那张烟盒纸的 ...
