preface
In the years of war, there was such a great group of women in the Yimeng Mountains. Their husbands would leave them for supporting the front, and their sons would leave them for joining the army.
Therefore, throughout their lives, they always experienced separation, but they never complained, not only did they play the role of husband and son in peace and security at home, sewing military clothes and making military shoes for them, in addition, they would do what they could, such as helping to transport the wounded, such as sacrificing their lives to help the wounded, and selflessly raising offspring for the motherland, although they did not know who they were... It is such a group of women who have selfless dedication to compose many touching stories between the military and the people, they are what we often call "Yimeng Red Sister-in-law".
01
Up to now, those "Yimeng Red Sisters-in-law" of that year have all passed away, but even so, the selfless "Red Sister-in-law Spirit" and touching deeds in them have been passed down forever. Continued to their descendants, and then from the Yimeng Mountains to the whole of China, awakening the patriotism of generations of people.
In the course of more than ten years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there have been many heroic figures who have bowed down to serve the country, and many legendary stories that occurred in the war of resistance against Japan have been recorded. Some of these heroes are defending soldiers who have fought hard, and some are just ordinary people. Among them, "Yimeng Hongjie" is a very representative group of heroines. Among the touching stories left for us by Yi Menghong's sister-in-law, the most impressive thing about Pai yi is the one that happened in the winter of 1941.

It was a very cold winter. At that time, the Shandong Column Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was stationed at Mamuchi in Yinan. However, the Japanese army and the Kuomintang, which were united at that time, swept away in the Yimeng Mountains, thus encircling this entire command. Naturally, the Eighth Route Army did not show weakness, and although it was in a state of encirclement, it still rose up to break through and fought fiercely with the Japanese army. However, in the process of the later transfer of troops, one of the 13-year-old XiaoBalu, named Zhuang Xinmin, accidentally lost track of the team. In the headquarters of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, he was only a small hygienist. As a young man, he fell out of the team because he was unfortunately injured by a bullet. In order not to be discovered by the Japanese army, the young Zhuang Xinmin had to drag his injured body all the way to escape, and when he reached the vicinity of Yokogawa Village, he finally fainted due to lack of physical strength.
Just at this time, Ming Deying, who was originally out to wash clothes, found him. When she saw that the unconscious child in the grass was still wearing the clothes of the Eighth Route Army, she instantly realized that it was a small eighth road, so without the slightest hesitation, Ming Deying took the child back to her home.

After Ming Deying brought Zhuang Xinmin home, he immediately asked her husband Li Kaitian to help treat the wound. After all the clean-up work was completed, the couple was worried. For the injured, it is natural to supplement more nutrition as soon as possible. However, because of the perennial sweeping of the Japanese, there was basically nothing left to eat in the family, and in a hurry, Ming Deying, who had just given birth to a child, had to feed Zhuang Xinmin with his own milk.
Slowly, Zhuang Xinmin's health improved and he woke up. Ming Deying and Li Kaitian quickly tried to communicate with him, but found that this little eighth road was actually a mute, which made the husband and wife very distressed, coupled with the inspection of the Japanese army, the two simply recognized Zhuang Xinmin as their son.

Soon, Zhuang Xinmin's health was almost good. After saying goodbye to the benefactors, he returned to the unit. This time in the army, he seemed to be reborn and made a lot of merit. Even after the founding of New China, he once became a cadre at the level of department and bureau.
For so many years, he had been trying to find the couple who had saved him, but he did not know the real name and could not find it. But he didn't give up, and just kept looking for it.
Finally, the Emperor Tian did not pay off, after a long search time, on a certain day in 1995, Zhuang Xinmin finally found the pair of life-saving benefactors. After that, Zhuang Xinmin treated the couple as if they were biological parents. After the death of the two old men, he also insisted on visiting the graves of his life-saving benefactors. Even after Zhuang Xinmin's death, his children took over from him to continue to sweep the graves of his life-saving benefactors.

In fact, many similar touching stories emerged during that period of resistance against Japan, among which the selflessness and bravery of the characters are very worthy of our learning in future generations!
