[Follow the footprints of the martyrs] Salute! Veteran warrior
"Brilliant and energetic, crossing the Yalu River. Keeping peace and defending the motherland is to protect our hometown." Listening to the "War Hymn of the Chinese People's Volunteers" played on the old radio, the mind of Ye Jiaru, a veteran from Fujian Province, seemed to return. In the war-torn North Korea 70 years ago, there was his unforgettable memorial and red youth.
In October 1950, Chinese heroic sons and daughters crossed the Yalu River to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend their homeland.
2030 enthusiastic young people from Fujian Province in Fujian Province signed up to join the volunteer army. Ye Jiaru, Zhou Zhangluan, Zhou Zhenrong, Yang Xueqing, and Xu Qizhu are also among the volunteers. On the land of a foreign country, they throw their heads and blood to the death to defend the motherland. Dignity.
"When we go out, we are in the spirit of patriotism and internationalism. We are not afraid of hardships, hardships, bloodshed and sacrifice. Every soldier has made up his mind. In Dandong, Liaoning, each of us has written a letter of guarantee. I'm here, I won't be a hero without returning to China!" Ye Jiaru said firmly in his eyes.
The zhengzheng vows made back then are still in my ears. The military uniforms I wore back then are still brand new and straight. After wearing the military uniforms, I am ready to go again. The Ye family in front of the mirror is as powerful as it was 50 years ago.
This is a war that cannot be forgotten, an unforgettable memory.
Nowadays, Volunteer Army veteran Zhou Zhangluan often tells his juniors his stories on the Korean battlefield.
In his spare time, the old man would also water the flowers in the yard, pruning and pruning branches, and lead a happy old age, but he knew that this peace was hard-won.
During the interview, Zhou Zhangluan slowly said: "I hit the 281.2 highland at the time, in the northern mountain of Shixian-dong. At that time, my hand was injured. I didn't know whether it was caused by artillery shells or machine gun shells. I didn't know my hand until I saw blood. Wounded." Putting on the military uniform, walking through the road to the army, standing under the centuries-old banyan tree that said goodbye to his homeland, the old man solemnly saluted a distant place.
Taking out the commemorative photo album and wearing reading glasses, volunteer veteran Zhou Zhenrong started another busy day. What he wanted to organize was the address book of the surviving old comrades in the War of Resistance against U.S. Aid Korea. Looking at the names on the address book, the old man couldn't help but recall that period of rushing. The years of frontline rescue and healing.
"I worked in a frontline health clinic and a dressing station. I was the only one in the front dressing station. At that time, the work was very hard. It had to look at the warehouse and deal with the wounded of several companies. Saving a life is like fighting a fire. I rescue patients every time. Run away." Zhou Zhenrong said excitedly, recalling the years of war.
The experience of rubbing shoulders with the god of death several times still left Zhou Zhenrong's heart lingering, but the most unforgettable thing for him was his comrades who died in a foreign country. The annual commemoration of the War of Resistance Against the United States and Aid Korea is his most important day of the year.
When Yang Xueqing, Zhou Zhenrong, Ye Jiaru, Zhou Zhangluan, Xu Qizhu and other veterans of the volunteer army reunited again in the Memorial Hall of the Anti-US Aid Korea in Minhou County, they cherished the memory of their comrades in arms and sent their grief.
They cherish the memory of not only the 221 comrades in arms who died on the Korean battlefield, but also the prosperous years of the past. A military salute is the remembrance of the veterans' remembrance of the war years, and it also represents the indelible loyalty to the motherland.
Tribute to veterans, don't forget heroes!
