During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese nation appeared with many national heroes, and when the country was in trouble, they stepped forward, threw their heads, spilled their blood, gave up their small homes, and finally saved the nation from peril. Xie Chunsheng, whom I want to talk about today, is one of them.
Xie Chunsheng was born in a small village with parents and a sister of four. In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, and the iron hooves of the Japanese army ravaged Xie Chunsheng's hometown, and his parents fled with him and his sister.
In the process of fleeing, Xie Chunsheng's father unfortunately died, leaving them with their mother, and his mother took him and his sister to hide in a mountainous area to survive. At this time, the Chinese, the anti-Japanese sentiment was high, and the men and women with lofty ideals all chose to join the army, contribute their own strength to the War of Resistance, and drive the Japanese out of China at an early date.
Just then, an army passed through their small village, when Xie Chunsheng was only 15 years old, but he was too eager to drive the Japanese out of China as soon as possible, and for his mother and sister to live in a peaceful country. However, he also knew that war was not a child's play, it was a game of life, and once he went out, he did not know whether he could still see his mother and sister again, and whether he would be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of his mother in the future.
But he finally made up his mind to join the army, he was worried that his mother would hurt him, and he would not let him go, so he quietly left the village with his mother on his back and followed the army.
Who knew this walk was 71 years. After eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xie Chunsheng survived the brutal war. But what he did not expect was that after the end of the War of Resistance, a civil war broke out. Toward the end of the civil war, Xie Chunsheng was coerced into Taiwan, where he established a family and had his own small family, marrying and having children.
At that time, although Xie Chunsheng was thinking about his sister and mother all the time, he could not get in touch with them, and he did not even know their lives.
After 71 years, the 89-year-old Xie Chunsheng can finally come back to find his family. However, there was no contact for a long time, and he had no whereabouts of his mother and sister. After inquiring from many sources and with the help of caring people, he finally got the news of his mother and sister.
It turned out that after the victory of the War of Resistance, the mother took her sister back to the place where they were born, and the mother firmly believed that her son would definitely return, so she had been waiting for him in the small mountain village.
The young man left home and returned to the old man, and the township voice did not change the sideburns. When the elderly Xie Chunsheng staggered to the mouth of the village, his sister, who was also elderly, stood at the entrance of the village waiting for him to return, and they hugged and cried. His sister led him home to visit his mother, who was still alive and 106 years old.
Looking at his mother, who was too old to move on the bed, Xie Chunsheng cried loudly. The mother woke up, as if she had some consciousness. Maybe the mother had been waiting to see her son for the last time, and that night she died.
No matter how long a person has been away from home, it is always his mother who misses him the most.
