Lead
At that time, the Japanese army launched an unprecedented invasion of our country, and after the Japanese occupied Nanjing, in the face of the innocent Nanjing masses, the Japanese army took a brutal massacre. It was in 1937, and a total of 300,000 innocent Chinese died under the knife of the Japanese army, and the whole city was shrouded in danger and death. At that time, Sun Xiuqing was only 16 years old, and he left his parents to study in Nanjing. The Nanjing Massacre brought painful memories to the city of Nanjing and changed the fate of Sun Xiuqing.
If he had not witnessed this terrible disaster, Sun Xiuqing might have lived a stable and quiet life. After graduation, you will find a job that suits you and form a happy family. However, it was because he witnessed the brutal behavior of the Japanese army against the residents of Nanjing that Sun Xiuqing planted the seeds of hatred for the Japanese in his heart. This memory is so deeply imprinted in Sun Xiuqing's mind that at the age of 93, the demented man jumped into the river and shouted: Put on the bayonet, kill the devil!
First, abandon the pen and follow the rong
At the time of the Nanjing Massacre, Sun Xiuqing found an opportunity to run back to his hometown. It was precisely because of this that he was able to avoid this disaster. But even so, the scene of the massacre deeply stimulated Sun Xiuqing, so much so that he made the decision to abandon his pen and follow Rong. Sun Xiuqing changed his name to Sun Jianxun after joining the army, hoping that he would be able to establish merit on the battlefield and defeat the invaders for the country. In every war, Sun Jianxun rushed to the front, killing one enemy after another with anger and determination to win.
Every time he thinks of the scene of the Nanjing Massacre, Sun Jianxun's heart is full of strength, and he wants to use his strength to avenge the death of his compatriots. At the time of the Battle of Changsha, our army showed great perseverance and determination, and even if it ran out of bullets, it was unwilling to take a step back. Faced with such a scene, the Japanese army had to use poison gas bombs, which made our army helpless to retreat. This incident is a great regret for Sun Jianxun, so much so that he still remembers the battle after suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sun Jianxun was full of expectations for a more peaceful country. But unexpectedly, after the end of the War of Resistance, the civil war began again. Sun Jianxun was unwilling to help the Kuomintang attack our party, so he chose to retire from the army. After returning to his hometown, Sun Jianxun became an obscure ordinary person. He also rarely mentioned everything that happened on the battlefield to the people around him, so that the villagers did not know that there was an anti-Japanese fighter around.
Second, the illness does not forget to resist Japan
After learning that the Communists had won the War of Liberation, Sun Jianxun shed tears. He fervently longed for a peaceful country and a happy life in the future. Soon after, Sun Jianxun also lived a new life of his own, he began to get married and have children like many ordinary people, living a peaceful and stable life. With the passage of time, Sun Jianxun also changed from a muscular young man to an old man, becoming dying of old age.
What people did not expect was that Sun Jianxun suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his old age. After the illness, Sun Jianxun forgot a lot of things, forgot his relatives and friends, but there was only one thing firmly in his heart, that is, the anti-Japanese resistance. Every time it rains, the elderly Sun Jianxun will run to his yard and shout at the sky: We must hold on. No matter how long it took, the anti-Japanese resistance was a memory engraved in Sun Jianxun's bones.
Children are difficult to understand the father's abnormal behavior, but over time they become accustomed to it. But in the winter of one year, Sun Jianxun stood alone by the river, shouting: Put on the bayonet, kill the devil! Then Sun Jianxun jumped into the bone-chilling river, and when he saw such a scene, the people around him were frightened. Later, a soldier around him felt strange and asked his children about Sun Jianxun's previous story, but the children did not even know that their father was a soldier on the anti-Japanese battlefield when he was young.
Third, pay tribute to the heroes
Sun Jianxun fought with the enemies on the battlefield for the sake of the country and the people when he was young, and after he retired from the army, he did not mention his past to anyone. Sun Jianxun accepted the life of ordinary people after he retired from the army, but in his heart, the past has never been forgotten. Although he never mentioned it to anyone, Sun Jianxun himself understood that those days of fighting on the battlefield had never been forgotten.
Sun Jianxun became a farmer after he retired from the army and lived an ordinary and ordinary life. It is said that after retiring from the army, Sun Jianxun has been farming for a living, using his sweat and labor to raise his children and become the pillar of this small family. After suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Sun Jianxun often shouted in the village to kill the devils, and the surrounding villagers joked that he had watched too many anti-Japanese dramas to be so crazy. But who would have thought that this was the deepest memory of an anti-Japanese veteran in his life?
The forced retreat of the Changsha Campaign in that year also became the knot in the heart of the old man for a lifetime, and after the illness, he often chanted Changsha and Changsha in his mouth. After revealing Sun Jianxun's true identity, the people around him and his family knew that this ordinary old man had such a different past and had done such a great thing. Later, the villagers no longer laughed at Sun Jianxun, but always gave him a respectful look.
It is said that when he joined the army, the commander of the old man Sun Jianxun was Xue Yue, a leader he respected very much. After suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Sun Jianxun did not like to eat, and became more and more stubborn, and his family basically couldn't do anything with him. But every time he let Sun Jianxun eat in the name of Xue Yue, he would be very cooperative and would also perform a standard military salute. Every time I see such a scene, my family is sad and relieved. For the family, there is such a great and respectable father, I think they are also very proud.
epilogue
As a Chinese, Sun Jianxun abandoned his personal safety and stable life at the time of national crisis, and chose to fight with the enemy on the battlefield. He has a strong sense of patriotism and is even willing to give his life for the country. After retiring from the army, Sun Jianxun was also willing to be mediocre, willing to be an ordinary farmer, and did not brag about his past deeds everywhere. Although time will pass, but this will not erase the past of a warrior, his deeds will always be remembered in the hearts of each of us, worthy of everyone's learning, he is a real hero.
