“Hello, dear Ekaterina Grigoryevna! I am a Chinese woman, I live in Russia. I live and work here for many years. Recently, I saw a channel with your interview on my friend’s social networks, ”Hung wrote.
As the girl noted, her friend’s name is Alexey and he is engaged in strengthening Russian-Chinese relations. He is fluent in Chinese and always tells his Chinese friends a lot of interesting news from Russia.
“Every year on May 9, Russia celebrates the Great Victory Day, and this year marks its 75th anniversary. All participants in the Great Patriotic War are national heroes at this ceremony. Every time I see veterans who have all their chests in medals and orders, I feel a sense of respect and reverence. Without your blood shed in the battles, without your courageous self-sacrifice, we would not have the world as we know it today, this peaceful life would not exist, ”she pointed out.
In her letter, Hong wrote that she could not even imagine what Demina experienced on the battlefield, falling under enemy bombing.
“Weren't you scared then? Or were you already afraid of nothing then? After all, you were only eighteen, you were a very young girl, but you took a brave step and volunteered for the front, where you could meet enemies at any moment ... I’m sure that the paintings of that time are still before your eyes, ”says in the letter.
As the Chinese woman noted, if she had the opportunity, she would like to learn more about this period of history from a participant in those events and ask many questions of Demina.
“Was it scary for you to see so much blood and sacrifice around you? At the front you had many comrades - are they still alive and well? When after the war you returned to your small homeland, how was the process of rebuilding the villages along which the Nazis went? Looking at you on the screen, I understand that you are still full of life, and I feel the inner power emanating from you, ”said the Chinese woman.
At the end of her message, the girl expressed the hope that with Ekaterina Grigoryevna everything is fine now and she takes good care of her health.
“I sincerely wish you a happy and healthy life,” Hun concluded.
