As the old saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right. When a person is at the lowest point in his life, it is really rare to find help in times of need. Most of them treat him with indifference and even receive insulting treatment.

Therefore, when Yang Shangkun was imprisoned and critically ill, a soldier handed him a bag of candy regardless of his personal safety. This was so precious to him.

Because this bag of sugar not only solved his immediate physical needs at the time, but also rekindled the desire for life in his lonely and cold heart, so he would look for opportunities to repay the soldiers when he regained his life.

1. Give a watch

One day in 1985, Yang Shangkun received a call from the army, saying that the soldier named Tian Zhenghong he requested to find was missing.

Yang Shangkun was so excited that he finally got his wish to meet the soldier at home soon. Looking at the weather-beaten worker in front of him now, Yang Shangkun found it difficult to connect him with the tall and upright little warrior many years ago. If it weren't for the same clear and kind eyes between the two of them, Yang Shangkun might have suspected that the person in front of him was not Tian Zhenghong.

"Why didn't you come to me before?" Yang Shangkun hugged Tian Zhenghong tightly and poured out his gratitude for many years.

"There is nothing you can't find."

Although Tian Zhenghong didn't care, Yang Shangkun still knew that he was dragging him down. It turns out that after Tian Zhenghong returned to his hometown, he first started working as a farmer. Later, when his wife was in poor health, he asked someone to find a job as a boiler burner. After that, he worked continuously in the fields and factories, barely maintaining the daily expenses of the family.

Tian Zhenghong is an honest and simple person. Whether he is a soldier or a farmer, he always follows his original intention. Therefore, even though he knew that Yang Shangkun, whom he had helped, had been released and rehabilitated, he never thought of repaying his kindness.

If Yang Shangkun hadn't been looking for him, maybe they would never have the chance to see each other again in this life. So when Yang Shangkun asked him if he needed help before parting, Tian Zhenghong shook his head again. In the end, Yang Shangkun gave Tian Zhenghong the watch he had worn for many years, which was also a kind of repayment to his benefactor.

The fate between people is so wonderful. Two people who were originally incompatible with each other will meet each other due to some encounters, and even change their destiny. This is the case for Yang Shangkun and Tian Zhenghong.

2. Sudden imprisonment

During the Cultural Revolution, many cadres in our country were treated unfairly by the reactionaries, and the same was true for Yang Shangkun, even though he was once one of the important leaders of our country, and he was imprisoned for a longer period of time, reaching a full twelve years.

The life in prison is very boring and monotonous. He can hardly have any contact with the outside world and can only obtain information from the outside world through newspapers. But Yang Shangkun's favorite book has to be "Quotations of Mao Zedong".

And he also gained a deeper understanding through this multiple readings. Generally speaking, Yang Shangkun's spiritual world was relatively rich during his imprisonment.

But compared to the wealth of the spiritual world, his material life is very scarce. Yang Shangkun's physical condition has been very poor since he was imprisoned due to serious illnesses caused by his early participation in the revolution. You must know that he had suffered from severe arthritis at that time, and his right hand was almost unable to be lifted. These were all things that could not be treated in time.

What is even more difficult is that not only is the life of imprisonment unable to receive timely treatment, but even basic food and clothing may not be guaranteed. While being imprisoned, Yang Shangkun also suffered from severe hypoglycemia, to the point of fainting at any time.

3. The help of soldiers

So if someone can stand up and help Yang Shangkun overcome the difficulties at this time, it will undoubtedly be a reincarnation benefactor for him, but obviously in that era, it would be better not to add insult to injury to him.

However, Tian Zhenghong extended a helping hand to Yang Shangkun. At that time, Tian Zhenghong was the soldier responsible for guarding Yang Shangkun. Although the two of them did not communicate with each other in words, they got along day and night.

Seeing Yang Shangkun still maintaining a high pursuit of the spiritual world in an extremely difficult environment every day, and seeing his body getting weaker day by day, Tian Zhenghong could not bear it.

So when Yang Shangkun sent him a distress signal, even though Tian Zhenghong knew that it was against the regulations, he still got Yang Shangkun a bag of candy and delivered it to him.

Not to mention that this kind of behavior is a violation of discipline, just taking a pack of candy back then was extremely difficult. After all, it was not always possible to eat candy during the Chinese New Year in those days.

After Tian Zhenghong's help, Yang Shangkun's health improved a little, and the relationship between the two became unusual because of this exchange.

However, the reactionaries had more eyes than they imagined. Not long after Tian Zhenghong helped Yang Shangkun, he was removed from his post and replaced by another soldier. Yang Shangkun only had time to learn his name before the two separated.

No one thought that this separation would last for many years, and when they met again, they were already elderly people. The valuable thing is that Yang Shangkun has never forgotten Tian Zhenghong's kindness to him. When he has the opportunity, he will look for Tian Zhenghong's whereabouts. Even if he cannot help Tian Zhenghong, he will thank him in person.

Conclusion

One is imprisoned in the cell, and the other is stuck outside the cell. The two people who should not have any intersection originally have a connection because of kindness.

One is a kind-hearted character, and the other is a repayment of kindness. The story of Yang Shangkun and Tian Zhenghong is the epitome of an era and the epitome of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation..
