In 1980, North Korean leader Kim Il-sung visited China and mentioned a person he could never forget - Chai Yunzhen .
He said to Deng Xiaoping sincerely, "So many years have passed, I hope to know his news."
Deng Xiaoping listened to his request and agreed, "We will definitely live up to our responsibilities."
Then, Jin Ri Who is Chai Yunzhen mentioned by Cheng, and why did he pay so much attention to it?
01 Where did the God of War go
On the Korean battlefield, there is a person who is famous in the Korean army.
In order to express his commemoration, the North Korean side made a portrait and hung it in the center of the museum.
Even in order to express respect, North Korea also compiled Chai Yunzhen's deeds into the textbooks for every student to learn.
This person is Chinese Volunteer Army soldier Chai Yunzhen.
Similarly, his story is circulated in Volunteer Army .
In 1951, Sun Zhanyuan had just arrived at the Korean battlefield. What he heard the most was Chai Yunzhen's story.
Every time he listens, he has the determination to win.
On October 8, 1952, in a battle, Sun Zhanyuan pulled out six grenades tied together before his death, and died with 7 enemies.
Like Sun Zhanyuan, in the Korean battlefield behind, many soldiers absorbed spiritual energy from Chai Yunzhen's story.
However, after the war, neither China nor North Korea found his traces.
People couldn't help but ask, where did he go?
After receiving Kim Il-sung's request, China has been working hard to find his news.
From Shandong to Jiangxi, the searchers found nothing.
1983, the writing team at that time wanted to write about Chai Yunzhen's deeds.
can be checked by people in the writing group, and Chai Yunzhen’s date of birth, home address, and life experience.
seekers visited Hubei, Henan, Hebei and Shaanxi, visited the hometown of the special hero Sun Zhanyuan, visited the hometown of the combat hero Niu Baocai, and paid homage to each tombstone at the Shijiazhuang Martyrs Cemetery.
In Shanxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs , the searcher found 3 lists of martyrs thicker than bricks.
However, after checking all the above places and information, the name Chai Yunzhen still did not appear.
search work has reached a deadlock at this point. What the seekers did not expect was that they received a letter, which brought things a turnaround.
02 Peak-turn
When he was in trouble, the searcher received a letter from Fu Guangchu, who was in the Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea .
letter said, "Comrade Chai Yunzhen was originally in the Guard Company. Because the front line was tight, he was supplemented and entered the Eighth Company. He had a comrade named Sun Hongfa. He must understand the situation. He is now relocated to Yangquan City ."
see The searchers were overjoyed by this news and rushed to Yangquan City overnight.
In Yangquan City, the searcher found Sun Hongfa.
He recalled, "Chai Yunzhen's right index finger was injured in the fight. In addition to wanting to fight the enemy, he rarely talks about his own private affairs."
In addition to physical characteristics, Sun Hongfa also described some of Chai Yunzhen's habits in life.
Then the searcher asked him to recall where his hometown was. He said, "According to my memories, he should be from Sichuan ." After rushing back to the army, the searcher reported the content of the search to the leader.
After the leader's consent, released a missing person notice in " Sichuan Daily ".
1984, Chai Bingrong saw a newspaper while he was resting. After reading
, he became more and more excited, "Isn't this what I mean by me?"
It turned out that the missing person notice described in the newspaper said, "He is a hero in Park Dafeng Battle , and his right index finger was seriously injured. The name is Chai Yunzhen. "
These descriptions are very similar to Chai Bingrong's father. He ran to the ground excitedly and shouted to Chai Yunzhen who was farming, "Half man, Jin Il-sung is asking Deng Xiaoping to find you.""
To Chai Bingrong's surprise, after learning about the content of the newspaper, Chai Yunzhen's reaction was very cold.
In his heart, he thought it was lucky that he could survive.
for 33 years away from the battlefield, and he had become accustomed to simple Life in the fields, I don’t want to remember the past again.
. The only thing that can see traces of soldiers is his straightforward temper, which has caused him to suffer a lot in life.
So, how did Chai Yunzhen meet with the troops later?
03 Meet in tears
After a long time, Chai Bingrong and his family were persuading Chai Yunzhen to meet with the army.
After learning about the news about the army, although Chai Yunzhen was still calm on the surface, he still felt turbulent in his heart. .
son Chai Bingrong understood that the old man wanted to find the army, and that was his lifelong love.
So he kept communicating with his father and finally told Chai Yunzhen.
But there is one thing that has troubled the whole family.
It turns out that It was a travel fee. From Sichuan to Wuhan, the military location, the round-trip fee was 100 yuan.
This was not a small amount for the Chai family at that time.
After thinking for a few days, the Chai family sold the only sows. Only then did I get enough travel expenses.
and the searcher is still searching hard.
On September 23, the people in the search team received a notice from the duty room, "Chai Yunzhen has arrived. "
In the duty room, the people in the search team met the old man for the first time.
staff carefully observed that Chai Yunzhen's right index finger was missing a small piece.
Then, under everyone's inquiry, Chai Yunzhen pulled away his hair and exposed his head. scars.
There are as many as 24 scars, and the people at the scene were very shocked.
Then the old man said, "Actually, my real name is Chai Rongzheng, not Chai Yunzhen." ”
Hearing his words, the searcher was a little confused, and the old man Chai Yunzhen did not explain clearly the whole story.
Because he was seriously injured in his head that year, the old man had a poor memory and only remembered the names of the leaders Qin Jiwei and others.
In order to find out the truth, the army asked Chai Yunzhen's comrade Sun Hongfa to come.
It is very coincidental that after Sun Hongfa set off, Dong Guichen, the clerk of Chai Yunzhen's army, came to the army to do business.
3 old men's faces were full of vicissitudes of time, and their hair was They were all gray. As soon as they met, they hugged each other tightly, leaving tears of joy. After
, Dong Guichen talked about the origin of Chai Yunzhen's name.
It turned out that Chai Yunzhen's real name was Chai Yunzheng, and the cultural instructor changed his name to Chai Yunzheng.
Before the Battle of Park Dafeng, when the guard company wanted to hand over the list.
Because the situation on the battlefield was very tense, the handover list must be completed in a short time.
When copying, Fu Guangchu recorded it according to Dong Guichen's voice.
Dong Guichen is from Shandong, and the sounds of Zheng and Zhen in Shandong dialect are very similar.
result Fu Guangchu listened to Zheng as Zhen. A word difference made both ends misunderstandings.
The troops went to find people according to Chai Yunzhen, and naturally Not found.
and Chai Yunzhen himself did not know that his name had changed.
After the truth was revealed, the military camp was full of joy.
After calming down, Chai Yunzhen told everyone the thrilling story before his disappearance.
04 Time

Chai Yunzhen looked at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this time, he was the only one left in Class 7, so where can he still set up a position?
Wu Shangzhi looked at it and let the two correspondents next to him enter the front line.
The job of correspondents is Responsible for communication, and there is almost no practical training at that time, but at that time, you can't go to the market even if you can't go to the market.
In the early morning of June 5, two correspondents unfortunately died, and he was the only one left in the area where Chai Yunzhen was responsible for.
He looked into the distance, He had lost contact with his superiors.
