After retiring from the army in October 1985, he worked as a power worker in the railway section of the Kunming Railway Bureau until his retirement in June 2019. After returning from the battlefield, he has never forgotten the comrades who were born and died together.

Zheyin Mountain is located on the edge of Malipo County, Yunnan Province. The mountains are steep and clouded by clouds. In the continuous autumn rain, An Zhenjiang drove an off-road vehicle through the forest. For so many years, this road and this mountain have been deeply in his mind. During the border battle on April 30, 1984, the 18-year-old An Zhenjiang spent an unforgettable day as a field health worker.
An Zhenjiang: "The troops interspersed, the sky was still dark, it was raining, and I could not see my fingers. I heard three signal flares fired, and there was the sound of torn signal flares in the air, with red flames, and then the artillery fired. I Quickly take out his pocket watch and take a look. At 6:40, the attack has begun." An Zhenjiang was born in a military family, and his ancestral home was Dejiang County, Guizhou Province. After his parents returned from participating in the War of Resist U.S. Aid and Aid Korea, he collectively changed jobs and settled in Hekou County, Yunnan Province. The dreams of soldiers have been buried in An Zhenjiang's heart since childhood. In 1982, the soldier's brother had just returned from the army, and An Zhenjiang signed up to join the army again. At this time, the border self-defense counterattack was the fourth year.
An Zhenjiang: "When I joined the army, I knew I was going to fight, but I was not afraid. My brother just returned from the army, and I asked him if he was afraid? He told me, I am not afraid, go ahead! We put on military uniforms and left."
An Zhenjiang (left) poses with his comrades in the battlefield. After the
recruits got off the company, An Zhenjiang became a heavy machine gunner. In February 1984, he was selected as a company hygienist. After emergency training, he went to the battlefield with a medicine box on his back. The comrades trusted him and made a life and death agreement with him on the eve of the fierce battle.
An Zhenjiang: "Comrades in arms told me that if he is injured, he must be saved. I said, as long as I am not dead, I will carry you back."
For battlefield rescue, time is life. On the battlefield, An Zhenjiang carried the medicine box on his back. While avoiding the artillery fire, he also had to "race" with the bullets: once he found that his comrade was injured, he immediately rushed over, sew up, bandage, and stop the bleeding quickly... When a comrade died in his arms, He wiped away his tears and continued to search for the remains of the wounded and martyrs in the rain and fog. On the day of
, after the fierce battle, An Zhenjiang and his comrades in the ambulance rescued 23 wounded and 9 martyrs from the fire. That night, because of the heavy rain, it was too late to transfer, An Zhenjiang stayed alone to guard the remains of the martyrs and stayed up all night.
An Zhenjiang: "I used a raincoat to cover the martyrs, and supported them with two sticks, so that the rain could not get them on. I was soaked all over, shivering with the cold, and I had to talk to my brothers. The dialogue, in fact, was to embolden myself and didn't know what I said at the time."
The next day, the remains of the martyrs were all transported back, and An Zhenjiang also spent his 18th birthday amidst the gunfire. this dayThe life and death experienced have left a deep mark in his later life.
An Zhenjiang took Guo Zhiyuan, the grandson of the martyr Chen Keyuan, to the cemetery to sweep the tomb.
In October 1985, An Zhenjiang was discharged from the army. He was first placed in the hydropower section of the Kaiyuan Railway Sub-bureau, and worked as an external high and low voltage power line engineer. In 1997, he was transferred to the Kunming hydropower section to be responsible for the power supply of stations along the train and the railway line. He worked as a railway power worker. It takes 34 years to work. No matter where he is, he has always maintained his military qualities, hardworking, dedicated, and hardworking. For more than 30 years after
retired from the army, although the flames of war have gone in his life, the scenes of the battle and the scenes of rescuing the wounded have repeatedly appeared before his eyes. The martyr Sun Zhengrong and An Zhenjiang were not in the same company. When An Zhenjiang found him, he was already seriously injured and his internal organs were flowing out of the abdominal cavity. After emergency bandaging for Sun Zhengrong to stop the bleeding, An Zhenjiang let him lie halfway in his arms.
An Zhenjiang: "Sun Zhengrong said, "I know you, you are a health worker of the Second Gun Company, you play the harmonica very well, you can sing, I like to hear you sing, I'm going to die, you sing a song Give it to me.' I sang'Heroes are sung in smoke.' When he was about to sing the second part, his head turned and people left."
Thinking of sacrificed comrades, An Zhenjiang often burst into tears. Every time
thinks that these fresh lives are sacrificed by his side, but he is unable to save him, An Zhenjiang will regret it. In 1986, the second year after he went to work, he took advantage of his work break to come again to the tomb of Sun Zhengrong.
An Zhenjiang: "I knelt in front of the tombstone and kowtowed and said, brother, you have to forgive me, I don't have superb medical skills to save you, you must forgive me. After that, I will light the cigarette for him , Pour him the wine..." In the
cemetery, surrounded by green cypresses, tombstones are neatly arranged. These heroes who slept in the earth were once young and lively lives, and An Zhenjiang could not forget them. Since then, An Zhenjiang has used weekends or holidays, rain or shine every year, from Kunming to the martyrs cemetery in the border area again and again, offering a glass of wine and singing a song in front of his comrades’ tombs. During the process of sweeping the tomb of the martyrs, An Zhenjiang discovered that the ceramic photos can be waterproof, sun-proof and color-fast, so he gave birth to the idea of pasting photos of the martyrs tombstones. In April 2012, An Zhenjiang personally inlaid photos of the tombstones of nine martyrs including Yang Guangming and wiped them clean with a damp cloth. At that time, looking at the youthful faces of his comrades-in-arms, he could no longer suppress his inner emotions.
An Zhenjiang: "After the photo was posted, my tears fell down. I thought to myself that I finally posted your photos. I promised before that the nine martyrs rescued by our ambulance. I have to post all the photos to be worthy of my dead comrades.” An Zhenjiang led the organization to paste porcelain statues for sacrificed martyrs
. Later, when he saw the grave-sweepers walking past the tombstones with photos, they had to stop and look. At first glance and bowing, An Zhenjiang made up his mind to affix porcelain statues to all the martyrs in several cemeteries. After he received a housing subsidy of more than 40,000 yuan from his work unit, he invested all the money in putting up porcelain statues for the martyrs. An Zhenjiang's home is in Kunming, hundreds of kilometers away from Napo, Xichou, Malipo and other places. In order to facilitate the tomb-sweeping and post photos of his comrades, he bought an off-road vehicle with a loan.

In the process of collecting, producing and pasting photos for the martyrs, he paid countless production costs, oil costs, and tolls, even Sometimes there are some obstacles from the management of the cemetery. Difficulties could not stop An Zhenjiang's footsteps. Over the past eight years, he has traveled and contacted in many ways. With the assistance of his comrades in arms and enthusiastic people in the community, he has put porcelain statues on the tombstones of more than 2,000 martyrs, so that over 90% of the martyrs' faces can be remembered by posterity.
There is a hero sleeping under each tombstone, and behind each martyr there is an affectionate remembrance. One year, An Zhenjiang accidentally met Ma Ping's mother in the Xichou Martyrs Cemetery. Later, he visited the martyrs' home. The old man eagerly asked him about his son's sacrifice.

The old mother said, finally looking forward to your coming. "Z3z An Zhenjiang transferred the donations from Shenzhen caring people to the Malipo Center Nursing Home .

The heavy blow caused him to suffer from mental illness. After several treatments, no effect was seen. His memory remained on the day of the battle. Because his intelligence was like a child, today, Li Yuqiao, who is nearly 60 years old, is still more than 80 years old. His parents took care of him. An Zhenjiang: "Li Yuqiao’s memory stayed before April 28, 1984, and he couldn’t remember anything afterwards, so he couldn’t tell. Asked his company commander's name? He said everything, including the sacrificed martyrs, he knew all of them. If you ask his parents' names, he won't know. After he finished smoking, he arranged the cigarette butts in the shape of bullet clips, and arranged them like submachine gun bullets.
