This year's Eleventh is also the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and we also held a grand military parade on this great day. And the peace we have today was bought with the blood of the older generation, who put their lives and deaths aside, bravely fought against the invaders, and finally drove the invaders out of their motherland and won the final victory in the war. And the person we are going to talk about today, his identity is a bit special, 12-year-old he beat the devil and was photographed, 70 years later to see the year to make people cry!
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan that year, a photograph was reported by the major newspapers and periodicals of the time. In this photo is a child with a smile on his face and a thumbs up, and the child was only 12 years old at the time. And this year, 70 years later, when this young child has been in the age of the staff, after some searching, the old man was finally found, and the veteran soldier saw that someone was holding this photo of him at that time, and he burst into tears.
It is understood that the name of this child was Chen Youli, and by chance in 1943, he joined the Eighth Route Army and became a service soldier, and this photo was taken that year. Once again, during the military operation, an American journalist came to them for an interview. And when the reporter asked the child: Can you win the Japanese army? This child gave his thumbs up very confidently: Yes! This precious moment was also recorded by this reporter, and the photo eventually spread to every corner of the world.
Don't look at Chen Youli as a child, but he still picked up a gun to fight the devils, and in the following years, he fought more than fifty battles of all sizes. After the victory of the War of Resistance, he was captured in the Battle of Xuzhou, and eventually succeeded in becoming a Member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and also won the third class merit and other large and small battle merits, which can be said to be a great achievement.
Chen Youli, who is now 88 years old, lives in a rural area in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, and although his life is not rich, his children are filial piety and grandchildren, and he is also very satisfied. For the author, it is the blood of the older generation that has exchanged for our happy life now, which is our hero and the backbone of our Chinese nation! Do you think what I said makes sense?
