Once upon a time, when the bugle sounded, passionate young people came from all over the world. In the military camp, deep friendships were forged. The annual rings are turning, the military flag is still flying, but the veterans have dispersed across the country. It is a pity that due to the obstacles of mountains and rivers, inconvenient communication, relocation of residence, and loss of contact with comrades-in-arms.
In May 2020, Toutiao Person Search and Toutiao Military jointly launched the #老comrade, are you okay # public welfare project, which will use the power of technology and platforms to find missing comrades and help veterans reunite with their comrades.
htmlOn June 28, veteran Gaofeng contacted Toutiao Person Search, hoping to help find his comrade Zhang Qian. The relevant information is organized as follows. I hope you can help forward it and help them reunite through a relay of love.Name: Zhang Qian
Place of Birth: Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province (now managed by Suzhou City)
Year of Birth: Unknown
Time of Enlistment: About 1985 Time of Retirement: 1988
Troop Information: Shenyang Military Region Military Medical School 440 Another comrade in the army
hurried over after receiving the call. Gao Feng hurriedly contacted several familiar comrades and arranged a small gathering in the evening.
Ever since he decided to hold a party for the 45th anniversary of joining the army on Army Day, Gao Feng's schedule has been filled up. Chatting with old friends and attending parties have become his daily routine recently. First find out the contact information of the comrades, then call them one by one to greet them, and by the way, find out whether the comrades can come to this year's party. Often, after just a few phone calls, an enthusiastic old friend will chat with you for a long time.
At the reception banquet for comrades that night, everyone exchanged glasses and chatted. After some pleasantries, someone asked: "Master Gao, can your good disciple come to the party this year?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the comrades in the room all reacted, seeming to remember that Master Gao once had a friend. Good disciple, they all continued to ask, "Yes, have you been in contact for so many years? He came back from Jiangsu specifically to see you, which made us envious."
I don't know if he is tired, but Gao Feng remains seated in his seat. Without speaking, Gao Feng's thoughts gradually drifted back to 1987 as everyone spoke to each other. That year, Zhang Qian was transferred to Unit 440 of the Military Medical School of the Shenyang Military Region and learned to drive from Feng Feng of the Automobile Team.

"At that time, Zhang Qian did not receive intensive training like other students. He came to study under me like a blank piece of paper with no foundation." Faced with the obvious gap between his apprentice and other students, Gao Feng did not understand What others say is just teaching from scratch. "I just told Zhang Qian, you should study hard with me and study hard." Zhang Qian is simple and has a childish attitude. He made frequent mistakes when he first started practicing, but Gao Feng did not criticize him severely.
"The more mistakes he makes, the happier I am." On the one hand, Gao Feng believes that only by making mistakes can progress be achieved. "Sometimes he makes mistakes, and I won't get angry. I just find it funny and wonder why he would think that way." Therefore, he has always been very tolerant towards his apprentices' mistakes.
On the other hand, he also understood that Zhang Qian was a smart young man and very savvy. Although Zhang Qian inevitably makes mistakes in his daily study, his explanations and questions from time to time have a certain depth and professionalism, which often surprises Gao Feng: "Sometimes I wonder if he has taught himself."

Perhaps Zhang Qian also knew that his basic skills were poor, so he paid extra attention when studying with his master. Under Gao Feng's guidance, Zhang Qian made rapid progress, and his excellent technical level even attracted attention in the army.
"Basically no one in the army knows that he has not received intensive training." When talking about the outstanding apprentices he has taught, Gao Feng's words are full of pride.
But after just half a year of training, Zhang Qian was transferred back to the original army. Before leaving, the group of trainees held a farewell ceremony, and the master and apprentice were able to take a precious photo together.

In 1988, Zhang Qian retired from the army and returned to his hometown, but he would often call Gao Feng. His friendship as a teacher and friend made everyone envious.
In 1997, nearly ten years after Zhang Qian was discharged from the army, he went north from Jiangsu to Dalian and made a special trip to visit Gao Feng. His arrival also made other comrades in the army very happy.
In just a few days, the two reminisced over old times during a flowing banquet, and gave each other a few solid hugs while drunk. "He made a special trip to see me, which made me happy for a long time. My comrades in the army also envied our relationship," Gao Feng said.

I thought the two would be able to keep in touch for a long time, but in 1999, after Gao Feng's home landline number was changed, the two lost contact.
Gao Feng is still living in Dalian today. The comrades who stayed in Dalian formed a comradeship with Gao Feng as the secretary-general and organized some activities from time to time.

For this year's party, Gao Feng contacted many comrades one after another, but he was never able to find out the whereabouts of his young apprentice. By chance, he accidentally saw Toutiao Searching for Veterans reuniting veterans, so he placed his hope on the Toutiao Searching Platform, hoping to use technology to find his comrade Zhang Qian, and he hoped to see him at this year's party. he!
