During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, countless good sons and daughters of the motherland fought in bloody battles, and many of them sacrificed their lives and buried their bones. Today's protagonist of the story died on the battlefield, leaving only a letter, two oceans and a photo before dying, and people ran around, finally finding her hometown after 66 years and sending her remains back.
This anti-Japanese heroine's name is Liu Shouwei, born in 1920, is a native of Hunan. In 1935, he was admitted to Changsha Zhounan Girls' High School, and in 1937, he participated in the Female Student Health Team to the Battle of Songhu in Shanghai, but due to heavy casualties, he returned to Hunan to reorganize into the 50th Division Health Brigade.
In 1938, the Chinese and Japanese sides fought fiercely in the Taierzhuang area in southern Shandong, and only 18 miles away from Taierzhuang, near Yuwang Mountain in Pixian County, there were also our bureau troops engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, and Liu Shouwei was in that company. The battle was fierce, and the company commander also fell in a pool of blood, and Liu Shouwei wanted to rescue him, but a Japanese officer directly slashed him to death with a knife. Seeing this scene, Liu Shouwei was extremely angry, she grabbed the stone and rushed to the Japanese officer, smashing his head several times, and the enemy was killed on the spot. Liu Shouwei stood up and tried to continue looking for her injured teammate, but unfortunately she was hit and she also fell.
Fortunately, the militia responsible for carrying the wounded soldiers on stretchers found her, and she was sent to the Chentang Village Wounded Soldiers' Station, but at this time she had lost too much blood and was unable to return to heaven, and before she died, she took out a letter, two pieces of ocean and a photo and handed it to a villager's grandmother, hoping that she could help send the letter home, and the grandmother took the things and cried, and then they buried her in the mass burial post in the east of the village.
The grandmother inquired around and learned that she was only 18 years old and a middle school student in Changsha, Hunan Province. However, during the war, the letter could not be sent, and the letter from the grandmother's escape was rotten, and she probably remembered the content by memory: "The daughter left home to join the army and did not tell her parents, and now she may die elsewhere, and I hope that my parents will not be sad." I am now sending back two silver dollars and a photo from my time at school as a souvenir. It turned out that she was already ready for sacrifice.
For the 16 years from 1967 to 1983, grandma took her grandson Chen Kailing to the grave of the female soldier every year to burn paper, and Chen Kailing also inserted a wicker in front of the grave. In 1995, the grandmother died, and she repeatedly told her grandson not to forget to go to the grave. In 2012, Chen Kailing approached the Xuzhou City Morning News newspaper and hoped they would help find the family of the nameless female soldier.
Xuzhou media sent sample newspapers with touching stories of unknown female soldiers to Xiaoxiang Morning Post, and entrusted Xiaoxiang Morning News to trace the heroic footprints of female soldiers and their troops in that year. In July 2004, Xiaoxiang Morning News organized personnel to go to Xuzhou to pick up the remains of female soldiers and return to Hunan, at this time the wicker that Chen Kailing had planted had grown into a towering tree.
On July 7, the remains of the heroine were transported back to her hometown and placed in the Hunan Revolutionary Cemetery Art Cemetery. On September 18, in order to comfort the loyal souls, morning newspaper employees, enthusiastic readers and people from all walks of life donated money to erect a stone monument for the heroine. The hero is back, but her origin remains a mystery.
It wasn't until September 2005 that an elderly man wrote to say that her mother recognized the heroine as her old alumnus Liu Shouwei with a Hanshou accent. In October 2005, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning Post rushed to Hanshou County, and according to the clues provided by a villager in Xinxing Township, he finally found the home of the female soldier, and his grandmother's last wish was finally fulfilled.
"Eighteen Xiaoxiang girls of fangling age, leaving jade shadows by the pool of the school garden, personable and beautiful, negative star sand seeking truth." We have never forgotten those heroes who have fought and sacrificed for the truth in history. Their spirit will always inspire and inspire us today.
