A thousand miles of sound to remember the hero! The troop where the martyr Kong Qingsan lived connected with the relatives of the martyrs in Jinan to listen to the heroic stories

"We know from my brother's letters that the enemy blew up their logistics, starved them for days, and marched in the snow hungry. They can't eat and they can still desperately fight, what is supporting them? In his letter, he said that it was a firm belief in loving the party and the country, and it was the feelings of comrades in arms like relatives among comrades in arms..."

"Mr. Kong's narration restores a real and vivid Kong Qingsan to us, and makes us understand the 'Qingsan Spirit' more deeply..."

On November 19, a special dialogue unfolded between the cities of Shijiazhuang and Jinan – Kong Qingshan, the brother of the martyr Kong Qingsan, the prototype of "Lei Gong" in the movie "Changjin Lake", connected to Kong Qingsan's unit through video link to tell them the true story of this "first-class combat hero".

Narration across cities and through time and space

At 2 p.m. on November 19, an hour before the video link activity began, the soldiers of the company where the martyr Kong Qingsan was alive were already lined up in the conference room. At 3 p.m., the connection started on time. "Hello Old Mr. Kong, we are the comrades-in-arms of the three martyrs of Kong Qingsan..." This greeting from far away in Shijiazhuang made Kong Qingshan very excited: "Seeing them is like seeing my brother in military uniform, very kind." With excitement in his mood, Kong Qingshan began to speak in a slightly trembling voice.

"In my memory, my brother worked in black and white, very hard." Kong Qingshan recalled, "In 1946, the Kuomintang arrested soldiers, and the Bao Gong Office insisted that our family produce a strong man, and they arrested my 20-year-old brother. When he arrived in the Kuomintang army, he was tortured to the end, and he could not remember how many beatings and scoldings he had suffered, but he only knew that the old wounds on his body were not good and he received new wounds, and he wanted to run and could not run out, so he had to endure the torment silently. ”

Kong Qingsan's suffering before his death made the officers and men of the unit feel empathy, and they listened to the narration and sometimes frowned.

"Since joining the Chinese People's Liberation Army, my brother has only returned home once. In 1950, just as he was about to attack the Zhoushan Islands, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, and his unit was urgently transferred to the battlefield, and before leaving, he returned home, and my mother said to him: Don't worry, there is a government at home to take care of you, you can go to the battlefield with peace of mind. Kong Qingshan said, "I didn't expect this parting, that is, to say goodbye forever." ”

At the Jinan venue, the party members and cadres of the Veterans Affairs Bureau of Licheng District were red-eyed after hearing this story.

"In the battle of Xinxingli, because the right hoe of the Type 92 infantry gun was suspended in the air and could not shoot, the brother resolutely resisted the stationed hoe with his shoulder, and ordered the gunner to open fire, destroying the enemy's fire point, annihilating more than 30 enemy people, and opening the way for the infantry to attack. However, due to the impact of the recoil of the artillery, he was hit in the abdomen by shrapnel and died heroically. Kong Qingshan's vivid narration made everyone clench their fists, as if this scene was right in front of them.

The Jinan venue of this connection is located at the Licheng Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall. The museum houses photographs of Kong Qingsan before his death and his certificate of revolutionary martyrdom, and Licheng District is also the birthplace of Kong Qingsan. The special location makes this story that spans time and space more meaningful. "Just like my brother came home, he had relatives and comrades-in-arms to accompany him." Kong Qingshan said.

The "Qingsan Spirit" is integrated into the bones

Through the video connection, the troops showed everyone the statue of Kong Qingsan in the Yingmo Garden, and in the dormitory of the "Qingsan Class", a bed has been reserved for Kong Qingsan, and the officers and men of the unit make beds every day. The unit combined the "Qingsan Spirit" with the training and preparation for war, and truly infiltrated the red gene into the blood, into the heart, and into the bones.

The reporter learned from the interview that the unit where Kong Qingsan was stationed before his death was a heroic unit with a heavy history and outstanding combat achievements. From the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the indestructible War of Liberation, from the "Polar Bear Regiment" of the US Army in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to the many meritorious deeds in the Battle of the Yunnan Wheel, they have always dared to fight in the face of a strong enemy and dare to fight in the face of tasks, and every battle has returned with honors, and a large number of heroic and exemplary figures, such as Kong Qingsan, a "first-class combat hero," have emerged, forming the red genes represented by the spirit of Kong Qingsan who "dare to endure hardships, dare to take responsibility, dare to fight, and dare to sacrifice," and the fine tradition of "three gangs and one belt," which are passed down from generation to generation like family style.

Driven by the "Qingsan Spirit," Kong Qingsan's unit before his death was successively awarded the collective first-class merit once, the second-class merit once, and the third-class merit four times, and was commended by the group army, division, and brigade as a model unit for grass-roots construction, an advanced unit for comprehensive construction, a first-class company for military training, an advanced unit for combat readiness work, and an advanced unit for "four irons."

There is a soul in the heart and a root under the feet

With a soul in their hearts and roots under their feet, at the Jinan venue connected by video, the party members and cadres of the Licheng District Veterans Affairs Bureau who participated in this activity said that through this activity, the desire to be a hero and the desire to make meritorious achievements was even stronger.

"After listening to your introduction, we, as the veterans' affairs department in the hometown of the three martyrs Kong Qingsan, are also greatly inspired and encouraged, and at the same time, we also deeply feel that as a veterans' affairs department, we have a glorious mission and a heavy responsibility, and there are many places that need to be learned from you in carrying forward the heroic spirit." Yu Hongwu, director of the Veterans Affairs Bureau of Licheng District, said at the scene, "In the next step, we will fulfill our duties and missions well, ensure the training and preparation of troops, serve all kinds of preferential care objects, take good care of the families of martyrs, let the spirit of heroes be passed on from generation to generation, and never forget the great ideal of their blood and sacrifice." ”

"In October this year, we watched the movie "Chosin Lake". Through the film-watching activities, we were deeply shocked by the heroic deeds of the volunteer soldiers. Listening to the heroic stories, seeing the heroic troops, and feeling the heroic spirit at the scene today made me very excited, and also deepened my sense of reverence for the soldiers, and the next step is to integrate this spirit into my work and carry out the service work of veterans more carefully. A liaison officer of a veterans service station in Licheng District said. (Jinan Daily reporters: Li Xiaomeng, Cao Yaxin, Sun Xiaoqing, Zhang Youshui, Lu Yuchen)
