The Japanese commander was named Abe Queshehi . Not long ago, he received a transfer order to go to the Emperor to be a military officer.
In order to bring his military merits back, he went crazy in this battle and launched a burn, killing and looting at the base, and wanted to eat the Eighth Route Army Command regardless of casualties. Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Nie Rongzhen, He Long and Yang Chengwu also fixed their eyes on this small yellow earth ridge.
However, these later famous marshals and generals are not the protagonists of our story today.
A young soldier who had just been carried on a stretcher from the battlefield of Huangtuling was asking the doctor not to amputate his left leg.
He is a soldier of Yang Chengwu's independent regiment. Just when he was raiding the Japanese army, a hot shrapnel scraped past his left calf. The abscess was still worsening. In order to save his life, the doctor was preparing to amputate him.
At this moment, a blonde and blue-eyed foreign doctor happened to pass by. The little soldier recognized that this was Bethune who had taught him at first.
Bethune happened to hear the doctor's suggestion that the doctor was going to amputate. He looked at his legs and said, "The child is less than 17 years old. It's a pity that he has lost his legs. I'll do the surgery, I want to keep his legs."
The operation was very successful. The young soldier finally saved his left leg. Unfortunately, Dr. Bethune was infected in another operation in that battle and died five days later.
The little warrior who was saved was named Yu Xinyuan. He remembered what Bethune said to him before his sacrifice: "To realize the ideal of communism, never retreat!"
Compared with the founding generals we talked about before, Yu Xinyuan is just a "little man" and cannot say that he has made great achievements in creating the world.
But his life has witnessed almost all the "famous scenes" we have in the past hundred years.
On the one hand, he has a very close relationship with many "big people".
When he was 13 years old, he participated in Red Army because of a sentence the teacher said in his village. After participating in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he asked Bethune to cure his legs and fought side by side with the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain".
Pingxingguan , Hundred Regiments Battle , defend Yan'an , Liaoshen Battle , he participated in those big scenes that determined the fate of China without ending.
In peaceful times, his legend continues.
After becoming a local cadre, he not only brought the masses to fight floods and disaster relief, but also sent two young people to sign up for the army. One of them was Guo Mingyi and the other was Lei Feng.
There is a movie called Forrest Gump in the United States, which tells the story of the protagonist Forrest Gump who experienced the Vietnam War in his life, Vietnam War , Sino-US diplomatic relations , the US anti-war movement and democratic protests.
Compared with the "Forrest Gump" in the movie, Yu Xinyuan encountered a much more magnificent scene in his life. And most importantly, Forrest Gump is fictional, while Yu Xinyuan is a real legend.
During the 2015 Great Military Parade for Victory in the Anti-Japanese War, when the TV camera swept across the "Veterans of War" convoy, Yu Xinyuan's standard salute made many people sigh that this hero of war was still energetic and heroic at the age of 92.
Today, let’s talk about this extraordinary ordinary person - Yu Xinyuan.
There has always been a legend of "homophone" in Jieshipu, Jingning County, Gansu Province.
When I saw the place name on the battle report, Principal Jiang was furious: This place is called "Jijieshipu", isn't that my name? The Red Army actually occupied it?
happens that the teacher also thought of this floor. He smiled and stomped his feet on the street stones and said, "We stepped on the backbone of Chiang Kai-shek and kicked harder, and he was about to lie down.”
After winning the battle, the teacher was in a good mood. He often gave speeches to the villagers during the 18 days of living in Jieshipu. Among them, there was a 13-year-old boy who grazed sheep. He crowded in the crowd whenever he had time and listened to the teacher giving lectures to everyone.
This child was Yu Xinyuan. At that time, he was still called Lu Xinyuan.
html l0 The teacher has a strong accent in Hunan, and Yu Xinyuan is also young. Many of the big words "local tyrants" and "dividing land" cannot be understood. But when he heard that the Red Army conquered the world for the poor and wanted to defeat the bullies who were riding on everyone's heads, Yu Xinyuan's eyes lit up.In the first 13 years of his life, Yu Xinyuan was an absolute "poor person".
The father said, "We are poor, born with life for suffering." But even such a "life" was gone soon.
Four years ago when the Red Army came, another group of bandits came to the town.
Originally, the bandits just robbed everyone's food and livestock as usual, but that day the bandits saw Yu Xinyuan's mother young and handsome, and rushed to her like a hungry wolf in front of her husband and children.
The mother couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the well with a basket. When the bandits left and caught the person, they saw that the mother's body was still holding the last little property of the whole family tightly. —— 25 eggs.
The father was heartbroken. He never ate eggs again and never married a wife again.
Not long after his mother died, the local area caught up with the disaster year. After layers of exploitation by county officials and landlords, the family was cut off. Among Yu Xinyuan's three sisters, two starved to death one after another, and one was forced to give it away.
. In order to survive, Yu Xinyuan could only endure pain and hatred to persecute the landlords who were his family. Herd sheep and asked for a bowl of rice.
Just when Yu Xinyuan was about to accept his fate, the Red Army wearing five-pointed stars appeared. They were different from the soldiers Yu Xinyuan had ever seen:
This group of people not only did not attract men, did not steal women and food, but also always carried water to work for fellow villagers and gave clothes and quilts.
When they arrived in the village, the landlords and wealth who bullied people were so scared that they dared not go out, but they treated poor people like Yu Xinyuan as friends.
What impressed Yu Xinyuan even more was that the man who was called "Chairman Mao" by the soldiers always stood in front of him and said, "We poor people should fight for the landlords together and divide the land."
He not only said it, but also waved his arms hard, speaking with confidence and generous manner.
After just over ten days of getting along, Yu Xinyuan recognized one thing: the teacher and the Red Army are his great benefactors, and he has been following this team in his life!
Taking advantage of the late one night, Yu Xinyuan bid farewell to his father and quietly drove the 200 sheep from the landlord's family to chase dozens of miles before catching up with the Red Army's team and became a small soldier of the 1st Red Division of .
The political commissar gave him a new name - Yu Xinyuan. One is to prevent his family from being retaliated by bullies, and the other is to mean "rebirth".
Just three months after joining the army, Yu Xinyuan caught up with the encirclement of Hu Zongnan army and participated in the mountain castle battle .
In Yu Xinyuan's impression, fighting means an official holding a pistol and shouting "Give me a message" to the soldiers below.
But when the battle started, the first one to rush forward in the dense artillery fire was the company commander, instructor and party members in the team.
The enemy's offensive was very fierce. Many comrades were knocked down as soon as they got up, but the youngest Yu Xinyuan was always blocked by his comrades.
After one battle after another, Yu Xinyuan rushed up with everyone again and again. The comrades in front fell down, and he picked up their weapons and ammunition and rushed towards the enemy in their footprints.
Slowly, he grew from the child who was blocked by everyone to the main force of fighting that could rush to the front.
The leader told everyone that the group of Japanese devils on the opposite side was called Theraki Division, known as the "Steel Army". The group of devils fought fiercely. As soon as Yu Xinyuan's troops attacked them, the group gathered and counterattacked. The two sides kept tug-of-war on the positions, often fighting until they were out of ammunition and food, and they had to fight bayonets and beat them to the death.
What's more ruthless is that this group of Japanese troops will never surrender. A deputy battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army captured a half-dead Japanese prisoner. Unexpectedly, the prisoner bit his ear hard as soon as he gasped.
Another communicator took out gauze to bandage the Japanese wounded soldier, but the wounded soldier raised his hand and pulled out his bayonet and killed the communicator. (There are basically the same scenes after the 20th minute of the movie " on the Taihang Mountain")
Yu Xinyuan took advantage of this group of enemies without any mercy. He and his comrades were hiding out at night, constantly using harassment to trick the enemy into the encirclement. First, use grenades and machine gun to open the way. After the bullet was fired, they rushed in and fight.
Once more than 180 Japanese wanted to hide in the cave to resist, Yu Xinyuan and his comrades brought out the seized explosives and directly exploded the cave.
The Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactics made the Japanese very distressed. They found Abe Queshu, who was known as the "flower of famous generals".
This person knows very well Guerrilla warfare . His troops also learned to attack small groups, and also cut off the supply and aid of the Eighth Route Army by dragging the net and slaughtering the village in a crazy way.
In order to eliminate this strong enemy, Yu Xinyuan's troops set up an ambush in Huangtuling. In this battle, Abe Hikaru was killed by one shot and became the highest general who was shot dead in the Chinese battlefield.
However, Yu Xinyuan was seriously injured in the battle, and then there was a story about Bethune's surgery at the beginning of the story.
When Yu Xinyuan was on the operating table, his leg was seriously injured. Not only was the flesh on his calf basically blown away, but the suppuration spread to his thighs.
Bethune used a scalpel to cut off the ulcerated rotten meat bit by bit, applied anti-inflammatory medicine on the gauze, and then stuck it into Yu Xinyuan's wound and pulled it back and forth, repeatedly disinfecting it.
Because there was no anesthetic, Yu Xinyuan almost fainted several times. The beads of sweat were wet with the bed sheets, but in order not to disturb Bethune, Yu Xinyuan never shed a single tear and did not shout a single pain. After re-applying the medicine, Yu Xinyuan's legs really improved. When he wanted to ask Dr. Bethune to thank him in person, Bethune was infected while performing surgery on his deputy battalion commander Liang Jinbiao and had already died.
With the words "Doctor Bai" "Never retreat" and Yu Xinyuan returned to the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.
According to the deployment, the entire regiment was scattered everywhere. When encountering passing Japanese troops, they launched a sectional blocking, so that the enemy would hit a hard nail every step forward.
There are several combat heroes in the 7th Company next to Yu Xinyuan, which are the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" we are familiar with. The situation encountered by
is similar to the "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain". His combat team also has only 5 people, each of which sets off for 5 bullets and 47 grenades. The shell that was shot must be recycled and used six or seven times before it is scrapped.
except for two taels of Xiaomi every day, there is no other supplies, and the supply depends on snatching it from the Japanese.
Before the battle began, Yu Xinyuan knew that his weapons were not as good as the Japanese. In addition to collecting enemy ammunition along the way, he also specially chose a broken temple on the hillside as a blocking point, and brought a lot of stones from around and surrounded the temple.
Not long after, a Japanese sweeping team of more than 1,000 people walked towards the ruined temple. When the enemy walked under his nose, Yu Xinyuan and his comrades suddenly threw out the rolling stone and killed several Japanese rushing in the front.
Taking advantage of the enemy's formation being randomly dropped and retreated, everyone decisively fired and killed several more enemies.
Because the mountain road was steep, several people died, the Japanese did not understand the truth for a while, and every time they sent a small group of troops to attack, but Yu Xinyuan used grenades and "stone shells" to fully bloom, killing the Japanese 12 times.
But after a long time, the Japanese finally found that there were only a few people on the mountain, and the large army of the Eighth Route Army was not nearby. They began to unfold their formation with confidence and boldness, and moved out the heavy artillery to bombard it indiscriminately, wanting to raise the position in front of them.
Under such a fierce attack, Yu Xinyuan repelled the Japanese charges several times, but when the enemy launched the 20th attack, everyone was exhausted.
The first round of artillery fire came, and half of his skull was knocked out by comrade Zhang Liandi, and Yu Xinyuan tied his other half of his skull with a bandage. After a while, comrade Yuan Gencheng's arm broke and Feng Zhengxiang was seriously injured.
A soldier named Zhang Xiang was bombed by a shell and shouted at Yu Xinyuan: Platoon leader, I'm not good, my legs are not good anymore.
Seeing the enemy constantly surrounding him, Yu Xinyuan was anxious and shouted to Zhang Xiang: The legs are not good, and there are still hands!
Zhang Xiang said: I...I can't do it anymore.
Yu Xinyuan, who was red-eyed with the enemy, shouted almost cruelly: I don’t care whether you can do it or not, you can’t lose your position!
Hearing this, Zhang Xiang endured the severe pain and then raised a stone and smashed it towards the enemy. When the Japanese retreated, Yu Xinyuan walked closer and saw that Zhang Xiang's legs had been blown off, and several wounds on his body were gushing blood like a spring.
On the dying day, Zhang Xiang lay in his arms and said, "Deputy Platoon Leader, can I join the Communist Party of China?"
"I will introduce you to join now!"
"On Qingming Festival, can I put in the incense and add soil to my father and brother's grave?"
"As long as I live, I will go for you!" After thinking about Zhang Xiang's relatives killed by the Japanese, Yu Xinyuan agreed with tears.
Zhang Xiang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Tell me aunt, I died for the fight against Japan..."
Hearing this, Yu Xinyuan could no longer suppress the tears in his eyes. He nodded desperately and said, "I promise you that you died for the fight against Japan, you are glorious!
But Zhang Xiang had fallen on the position he was holding on, closed his eyes, and could no longer hear the answer.
Not long after, the Japanese rushed up again. Yu Xinyuan, the only moveable, picked up a stone and smashed it at the enemy. But as soon as he poked out of the trench, a bullet hit his chest. Yu Xinyuan shook it and fell from the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately, the bullet did not take Yu Xinyuan's life. When he fell down, he was hung on a stone platform halfway up the mountain. He was discovered by his comrades soon after, and took him back to his base to live in a fellow villager's house to heal his wounds. The place where
is the home of an old lady named Wang Yizhen in the village.
Wang Yizhen is an ordinary citizen in the base area. In the records, we can't even find where her family went?
What you may find is that Wang Yizhen treats Yu Xinyuan like his own mother.
There was no food in the village, so she exchanged all the money she saved for millet, held Yu Xinyuan, who was seriously injured in her arms, and fed him the millet porridge bit by bit.
It is rare to have an egg. Wang Yizhen will steam the eggs, blow them cool, and feed them to Yu Xinyuan bite by bit.
leaned against the old lady's shoulder and ate millet porridge and eggs. Yu Xinyuan's gunshot wound miraculously healed. After several coma, Yu Xinyuan felt that he had returned to his childhood and was lying in his mother's arms.
Gradually, he changed his name to Wang Yizhen from "Auntie Wang" to "Mother".
After returning from injury, Yu Xinyuan carried the hoe for clearing the land with Commander-in-Chief Zhu and his instructor in Nanniwan. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, he picked up the gun again and followed the troops to take Hu Zongnan in circles in the mountains.
But every time he won the prize, he couldn't help but run back to Wang Yizhen's house from all the way.
became a "model of anti-Japanese war". Yu Xinyuan held the socks and towels for the reward, and shouted as soon as he entered the house: "Mom, I was a model at that time! This is a prize to honor you."
I haven't seen each other for several years. Wang Yizhen is already in her 70s. When she opened the door tremblingly, she couldn't remember who the warrior was in front of her.
Yu Xinyuan thought of going to the front line this time, and maybe he couldn't come back to see his mother. He could no longer control his feelings and knelt down and shouted, "Mom, I am the one you saved with your mouthful of soup and rice!"
Hearing this, Wang Yizhen's eyes lit up, hugged Yu Xinyuan and touched his head, and pressed his old face against Yu Xinyuan's chest. The tears of the two of them flowed together.
Amid the sound of the gathering, Yu Xinyuan turned around and left the village step by step. According to Yu Xinyuan's recollection, when he wanted to come back to find Wang Yizhen after the war, the two sides never contacted each other again. This is the last time I have seen my "mother".
On the front line of the Liaoshen Battle, Yu Xinyuan's right foot was blown off.
Starting from joining the army at the age of 13, Yu Xinyuan participated in the Pingxingguan Victory , fought a 100-regiment battle, blasted the enemy in Huangtuling and Langya Mountain, and then fought all the way to the Northeast.
This young man, who was less than 26 years old, walked a journey of tens of thousands of miles, fought more than 500 battles, and was seriously injured in 7 parts of his body, recording countless hardships, legends and glory.
For a warrior, it has to be said that it is a regret that he cannot go to the battlefield when victory is about to come.
At this moment, a young nurse named Tian Ruwen pulled the depressed Yu Xinyuan into a new life.
When Yu Xinyuan was recuperating in the hospital, Tian Ruwen always cared for him while begging him to tell all kinds of stories about war. After a while, both young people planted the seeds of love in their hearts.
At that time, the word "love" was always difficult to say. Finally one day, Yu Xinyuan confessed to Tian Ruwen in a unique way 80 years ago: "I think you are very good!"
Tian Ruwen also answered in the same way: "I think you are very good too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two looked at each other's eyes and instantly understood the other's feelings. But Yu Xinyuan asked carefully:
"I'm injured all over my body. If you follow me, you will suffer!"
"I'm in good health, I can take care of you!"
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid of anything?"
"I'm not afraid of anything after you."
So, under a few words, a quilt and a wedding candy worth 2 yuan, the two young people began to accompany each other for the rest of their lives.
Under the organization's arrangement, Yu Xinyuan came to Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province and served as the political commissar in , the Military Service Bureau of . In the past ten years after liberation, in addition to the recruitment work, Yu Xinyuan also led everyone to build reservoirs and fight floods, and lived a intensive construction life.
Yu Xinyuan suddenly remembered that yesterday the secretary told him that a young worker named Lei Feng had walked more than 20 miles of mountain road from the factory in Gongchangling, and had been waiting at the door of the Military Service Bureau, and insisted on joining the army.
It seems that this young man is Lei Feng.
Who knew Lei Feng said: "I don't care whether it's enough or not, I must be a soldier this time!"
Others found it very strange. Lei Feng is a worker in the Angang mine, a serious super factory, and he is also a model manufacturer with a salary of more than 30 yuan per month.
In contrast, the troops at that time had to guard against air strikes by the US-Chiang bandit army, and were wary of the Soviet Union's provocations in the north. They either prepared for war in the deep mountains and forests on the front line, or practiced hard in the rear, and they could not make much money. Officers and old revolutionaries like Yu Xinyuan had to eat wild vegetables from time to time to satisfy their hunger. Yu Xinyuan asked: Why do you have to join the army? Lei Feng replied: I want to serve the people. "It's the same for serving the people in the rear." Who knew that Lei Feng said bluntly: "If it is true, why do you still get points in the front and back?" These words choked Yu Xinyuan. This young man is quite unique. The next day, Lei Feng ran more than 20 miles to the Military Service Bureau, and brought a suitcase in his hand. As soon as he saw Yu Xinyuan, he said, "Chief, I'm here with all my belongings. If you don't send me to the army, I'll be in your army!" Lei Feng was not kidding. He really swept the floor and wiped the table in the Military Service Bureau every day. When he saw anyone having any work to do, he went up and rushed to do it, and no one could stop him. Yu Xinyuan was also moved by his enthusiasm. Since he could not send him to the army for the time being, let’s take him home and talk about it slowly. When he returned to Yu Xinyuan's house, Lei Feng still had to do all kinds of work. The whole family liked him very much. Tian Ruwen also made special dishes and buns that were difficult to eat at that time to improve the food for Lei Feng. Seeing Lei Feng having a great time eating, Yu Xinyuan asked casually: Do your family miss you for so long? Hearing this, Lei Feng's mouth stopped eating vegetables and buns. Yu Xinyuan did not notice this subtle change and continued to ask: Does the family agree to you join the army? Lei Feng put the vegetable bun on the table, and tears burst out. He cried and said: I don’t have family, I am an orphan. It turns out that Lei Feng's life experience is abnormally similar to Yu Xinyuan. Lei Feng's father was beaten to death by the Japanese, his brother and two younger brothers starved to death and died of illness during the famine. Even his mother committed suicide by hanging herself because she was insulted by the landlord. Lei Feng cried and said: Chairman Mao and the People's Liberation Army saved me, so I love Chairman Mao and the People's Liberation Army the most. I must join the army. Uncle Yu, please help me! Yu Xinyuan then understood why Lei Feng wanted to join the army so much. It turned out that he was a miserable person who was oppressed like himself! Thinking of this, Yu Xinyuan decided to break the individual example and must send Lei Feng to the army. Because Lei Feng's physical examination was a little bad, Yu Xinyuan asked him to go to the military bedding factory first to attack the soldiers there. As soon as Lei Feng entered the factory, he quickly learned the craftsmanship of mentoring and sewing 63 sets of military uniforms a day, which was more than formal workers. The staff officer in the factory told Yu Xinyuan how hard this child can endure, just send him to the army! With so many comrades in the army, Yu Xinyuan felt confident. He found Dean Wu Chunze who was performing a physical examination for Lei Feng, and repeatedly begged Dean Wu to make an exception to sign a "qualified" opinion for Lei Feng. Yu Xinyuan said earnestly: Lei Feng, a child, is a little thinner, because he has suffered too much in the old society. After going to the army to exercise more, he will definitely become stronger. Director Wu also understood that Yu Xinyuan and Lei Feng were not related or not, and "going to the back door" was purely to cherish a good soldier, but he was a person who insisted on principles, so he still said sternly: That is the future, and I can only be responsible for Lei Feng in front of me. and the Chinese New Yuan still refused to give up: what the superior said was that he must be qualified both physically and mentally. Lei Feng was very politically strong. As for his physical condition, he would always meet the standards when he was still growing. If the superiors pursue the responsibility, I will bear the responsibility! Director Wu finally nodded, and Lei Feng became the last soldier in the city to wear military uniforms. On January 8, 1960, after living at Yu Xinyuan's house for 58 days, Lei Feng was about to board the train to the army. Yu Xinyuan and his children bought various daily necessities for Lei Feng. Tian Ruwen got up early in the morning and cooked a sumptuous meal for Lei Feng, so that he could take him to eat on the road. After almost 2 months of getting along, Lei Feng has become a member of the family. Seeing that the child was about to set off, Tian Ruwen shed tears first. As soon as I saw this scene, Yu Xinyuan quickly said: What are you doing? It is a glorious thing for children to join the army, and we all have to be happy, but as we talked, Yu Xinyuan's own eyes also became hot. Lei Feng stroked his military uniform on the platform and said to Yu Xinyuan: Chief, let me call you Dad! Then, Lei Feng raised his hand and saluted and shouted: Dad. Then Lei Feng turned around and called out to Tian Ruwen to mom, then bowed deeply, and tears wet the platform. Yu Xinyuan only knew that he had sent a good soldier to the army, but he did not expect that Lei Feng would later become a role model for the people of the whole country to learn together. In Lei Feng's diary, he also recorded a reunion between the two.
When I was in a daze at night, I heard Lei Feng's voice calling him. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw this "son" standing in front of him!
Lei Feng himself recalled that after they chatted with each other for a few family matters, the "father" Yu Xinyuan said the most to him was to "work hard" and "dedicate his strength to the cause of the party."
Unfortunately, on August 15, 1962, when Lei Feng got out of the car and ordered his comrades to reverse the car, the wheels slipped and knocked down a wooden pillar. The pillar hit Lei Feng's left temple. Shortly after being sent to the hospital, Lei Feng died.
On the day Lei Feng died, Yu Xinyuan's whole family was so uncomfortable that they didn't eat.
Guo Mingyi passed the physical examination and political review at that time, because the person he respected the most was Lei Feng. He heard that Lei Feng was sent to the army by Yu Xinyuan, so he wanted to sign up with Yu Xinyuan and follow Lei Feng's footsteps to the army.
Just like that, Yu Xinyuan personally sent him on the train to join the army.
In the army, Guo Mingyi was an amazing good soldier. After being demobilized, he went to the factory. Guo Mingyi rushed to do the dirty and tiring work that others didn't want to do.
He has worked as a driver, league secretary, propaganda officer, and even statistics and translation. No matter which position he is in, Guo Mingyi is always capable and skilled.
In addition, Guo Mingyi also spent a large amount of his income to support poor children. He often donated blood freely and practiced the "Lei Feng spirit" with his actions. In 2010, he won the title of "Touching China".
and Yu Xinyuan has cultivated two generations of heroic models for China with his unique insight.
Although Yu Xinyuan tried his best to send his two "godsons" to serve as soldiers, when his own son Yu Jinqi asked him to plead with him and wanted to go to the back door to join the army, Yu Xinyuan refused.
Yu Xinyuan told his son that the country let you go to the countryside for 22 years. You haven’t worked enough time in the countryside yet, so how can you leave early? He refused to open the back door no matter what he said.
was dragged until the second year, and Yu Jinqi was selected by the army through his own efforts and assigned to the most difficult Second Artillery Armored Forces.
The son wanted to apply for a more comfortable army, but Yu Xinyuan refused again. The hardship of the army's life made his son hate his father for a while.
Until one day, my son received a letter from Yu Xinyuan:
"You are 20 years old now, and it is the time to exercise. I hope you can do well. You are a soldier, and I don't want to see you escape difficulties!"
It was the most tense time for preparations at that time. Many soldiers could go to the battlefield at any time, but Yu Xinyuan said to his son: "Even if you want to sacrifice your life for the Party and the people, you must bravely rush forward."
Only then did the son begin to understand his father.
In the eyes of others, Yu Xinyuan's approach is unkind and always talks about big words like the Party and the people, which is a bit like seeking fame.
You can understand Yu Xinyuan's life and you will know that since he joined the army when he was a child, "struggle for the cause of the Party and the people" is not empty talk, but very specific work and very specific people.
This job can be to fight the Japanese, fight reactionaries, build reservoirs, fight floods, and send Lei Feng and others to join the army. Among this "people", there are Aunt Wang who helps him heal her wounds, women in the base areas who send her husband and son to the team to fight, and migrant workers who save food and transport them to the frontline.
These jobs and people constitute Yu Xinyuan's life and are his greatest happiness and spiritual pillar. He wants to share his happiness with his son.
This is a kind of fatherly love at a higher level.
In his later years, many people wanted to ask Yu Xinyuan to talk about his heroic deeds, but Yu Xinyuan went to the scene and told stories from others. He didn't like to mention his contributions more.
and many people don’t know that this big scene he has seen when he looks at an ordinary old man, and he has taken out any character he has dealt with, which is enough for others to brag for the rest of their lives.
In 2015, the country held a military parade for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan . The staff found Yu Xinyuan’s information in the archives and invited him to participate in the “Veterans’ Square”.
Put on the military uniform of that year, and walked along Chang'an Street with other old soldiers, and walked through Tiananmen under the gaze of the people of the whole country.
In the live broadcast camera, Yu Xinyuan lifted his no longer flexible right hand. The military salute was firm and powerful, and his eyes were deep and looked at the masses in front of him.
In an interview afterwards, Yu Xinyuan said: "I respect the martyrs who died in the Anti-Japanese War . I am the martyrs who died in the Anti-Japanese War. I am passing Tiananmen Square on behalf of the martyrs who died in the Anti-Japanese War."
While speaking, Yu Xinyuan, who was already 99 years old, returned to his former spirit, as if he was preparing to go to the front line again.
