In Louxizhai Natural Village, administrative villager named Lou Qizhong, who has been hanging five-star red flags on the roof of his home for 17 years, and countless red flags have been replaced during this period. After this year's National Day, he also put a few small red flags on the vase in the yard of his home. He said: "Let the five-star red flag fly at home is a family motto passed down from his father, and it is also a way for the family to express patriotism." Over the past 17 years, the national flag on the roof of Lou Qizhong's family has long become a beautiful local scenery. The family's patriotic actions have also been rumored to be a local story.
F Qizhong's home is next to the road.
"Look, the house with the national flag on the roof in front is Laolou's house." Today, the reporter drove to Geshan Town. Following the guidance of enthusiastic villagers, he saw that on the roof of a 7-story building not far away, the five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, which was very eye-catching.
Walking near, the reporter found that Lou Qizhong's home was still being renovated. In a construction site, the red flag on the roof was still flying. The flagpole of Lou Qizhong's family is 6 meters long. Because the wires will not rot, they use the wires as lifting ropes. "He is particularly caring for the national flag and cannot bear to see that the national flag is a little damaged. If it is broken or irritated, he will find a way to replace it." Lou Qizhong's cousin Ge Huiyang said that in addition to the bad weather, the red flags in Lou Qizhong's home will float on the roof. Now, even Lou Qizhong, who is busy with work outside, will still go home regularly or ask someone to help you go home to change the national flag. At Lou Qizhong's home, some old national flags are still preserved and folded neatly.
Speaking of the national flag at home, Lou Qizhong told reporters that this was passed down from his father's generation. It turned out that Lou Qizhong's father Lou Wanchu was originally a construction worker. In 1980, due to work needs, his father went to Pakistan to support construction, and he had not returned home for more than two years. During his work in Pakistan, Lou Wanchu's longing for his motherland and hometown became stronger and stronger. Every Sunday, he would go to the door of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan to see China's five-star red flag. After returning to China, he even built a flagpole at home and raised the national flag.
Jiang Suzhu, 73 years old this year, is Lou Wanchu's wife. She said that Lou Wanchu has a special relationship with the national flag. After returning to China, he had to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony every time he went to Beijing. He also developed the habit of collecting national flags. Every time he went out to travel, he didn't buy anything else, but he always had to buy a few small red flags for his grandson and granddaughter. Now the whole family is a national flag lover.
Lou Wanchu died of illness in 2015, but the habit of raising the national flag at home has always been preserved. "My husband always reminds his family to hang the five-star red flag on the roof of his house for generations." Jiang Suzhu said that no matter how busy he is in his work, the children at home will go home to change the red flag, at least 6 times a year.
According to statistics, Lou Qizhong's family has purchased more than 200 national flags at their own expense, plus flagpoles, etc., and has also spent a lot of money. "This is a meaningful thing, and I will continue to hang the national flag." Lou Qizhong said that his daughter will also go home to change the national flag, and this will be passed down as a family motto from generation to generation in the future.
