introduction
Many sentient beings in the world have a strong desire to express themselves, and they want to show others their past achievements in order to enhance their own value, which is understandable. And those who are glorious but not humane are even more open-minded, just like Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey", "Things are whisked away, and they hide deeply and famous." "In Sichuan, a 104-year-old man died, and the children found a paper bag in the relic, which revealed the true identity of the father, whose identity was shocking and emotional.
01
Since the iron shoe of Japanese militarism stepped into the land of China in 1931, the Chinese people have stubbornly resisted the Japanese invading army for fourteen years. Countless anti-Japanese heroes were born into death and martyred in battle, only to drive the Japanese invaders out of our homeland and let the Chinese people walk out of the flames of war. In addition to the martyrs who buried their loyal bones in Qingshan, there were also many anti-Japanese heroes.
After the end of the war, the plot side was silent and quiet, hiding his identity and life, and even his children knew nothing about their past battles.
▲ Xiao Wanshi
There is such an old hero in Sichuan Province, and it was not until his death that his children learned how heroic his father was in the battlefield and how he repeatedly made military achievements. His name is Xiao Wanshi. Xiao Wanshi was born in a chaotic world, and in the midst of war, the people's lives were difficult, and the sharp knife of the Japanese army could penetrate innocent people at any time.
Many died at the hands of the invaders. Xiao Wanshi's family died under the arson of the Japanese army.

In 1937, a disaster befell Xiao's family's Xiyou village, due to the betrayal of the traitors, all the villagers were burned to death by the Japanese army, and Xiao Wanshi's parents and sister died unjustly. Xiao Wanshi and his eldest brother and second brother were all in the local guerrilla army, and his eldest brother was heroic and righteous in the process of fighting the Japanese army, and the second brother was missing. Therefore, Xiao Wanshi had a toothless hatred for the Japanese invading army and was determined to kill the devils.
Avenge your family. In 1937, Xiao Wanshi joined the Eighth Route Army, and in October of the following year, Xiao Wanshi became a member of the Communist Party.
02
Xiao Wanshi, who bore the hatred of the country and the family, showed great initiative in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and he charged into the battlefield and was not afraid of sacrifice, and it was also because of this heroic and fearless spirit that Xiao Wanshi was brave and fierce on the battlefield and repeatedly made meritorious achievements. Xiao Wanshi was not just a brave man, he was also very wise and strategic. He once cooperated with his comrades-in-arms and annihilated 19 Japanese troops with only spears.
Xiao Wanshi, who was brave and resourceful, soon emerged in the army, and was appreciated and promoted.

However, Xiao Wanshi's road to combat was not smooth, and he also encountered great dangers. In the encounter in Changle Village, Xiao Wanshi's teammates fell one by one, leaving him and dozens of remaining comrades-in-arms to fight bitterly, Xiao Wanshi's left chest was also hit by enemy bullets, and he stepped into the ghost gate. After the timely rescue of the hospital,
Only then did he rescue Xiao Wanshi, but some of the gun fragments remained in his body forever, witnessing Xiao Wanshi's years of fighting horses.
03
The first half of Xiao Wanshi's life was spent on the battlefield, he fought against the Japanese on the anti-Japanese battlefield, fought bravely in the War of Liberation, and fought bravely in the war against bandits. His heroic posture and outstanding deeds have been witnessed by 10 first-class merits and 12 second-class merits. If ordinary people had such impressive feats, they might have been unable to resist showing them to others, but Xiao Wanshi was not proud and arrogant because of his military feats, nor did he feel that he was any different from others.
He just silently collected all the military merit badges that carried glory into an ordinary paper bag.
▲Paper bag
Sealed the glory of the past with a paper bag, chose to go to the place to work, and continued to use the rest of his life to contribute to the country. For decades, the people around him did not know anything about Xiao Wanshi's past glory, all because Xiao Wanshi was low-key and simple, and even if he had difficulties, he would not ask for anything from the organization. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an ordinary person, and even the children closest to him know very little about his father's past. Until April 2, 2009, Xiao Wanshi died of illness in the Second People's Hospital of Liangshan Prefecture.
While sorting through his belongings, the children found the paper bag filled with the glory of the heavy soldiers.

At this point, the children finally know that their father is a proud anti-Japanese hero! Zhao Xuebin, who had worked with Xiao Wanshi, sighed that if It were not for Xiao Wanshi's death, he would not have known the colleagues who had struggled together.
It is such an anti-Japanese hero who has many first-class merits but never speaks lightly. And his son Xiao Yalin said: "My father has lived a very satisfying life! ”
epilogue
The idiom "Filipino words and deeds" means that actions are far better than words. From the famous Literary Scholar Zuo Si of the Western Jin Dynasty, in the "Wei Dufu", there is a sentence that reads". Xiao Wanshi is exactly such a person who does more and talks less. Whether on the battlefield or in local work, he was conscientious and conscientious. But he never flaunted himself for his credit. Such a wind and bone deserves the respect of the world.
