History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
"Your name is unknown, and your exploits are immortal." Many heroes, after a rain of bullets and bullets on the battlefield, eventually disappeared. There's also a saying that goes something like, "Don't ask what the state can give you, first ask what you can do for the country." The hero that Xiaobian wants to talk about today was born under the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou and fought on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to defend his family and country. This hero is Liu Zuokun, a simple peasant in Hubei, who people know that he is a farmer, but do not know his other identity, he is a first-class meritorious person.
In his early years, Liu Zuokun lost his parents when the Japanese army invaded China. Liu Zuokun, who had been bullied since childhood, made a vow in his heart that he would kill the enemy and repay the country. At that time, he was still very young, and he grew up eating "hundred meals". Later, Liu Zuokun, who became increasingly sensible, learned the craft of a carpenter and barely made ends meet in the years of war and chaos. After the founding of New China, the poor Liu Zuokun saw hope. But the newborn motherland was threatened by a certain big country. When the United States invaded Korea, China has always had the ancient adage of cold lips and teeth. Liu Zuokun, who had no culture but was well aware of the great righteousness, responded to the call to "defend the family and defend the country, resist the United States and aid Korea" and enter the Korean War.
After Liu Zuokun arrived in Korea, he lacked actual combat experience, and the company commander arranged for him to be a sentry. In Liu Zuokun's heart, no matter how ordinary the position can create different values. At that time, our army did not have absolute air supremacy, and enemy aircraft were rampant. In order to protect military supplies, Liu Zuokun disregarded his life. In the end, Liu Zuokun won the first-class merit, and after returning home from the army, the township only knew that he had entered the Korean War, but did not know that he had won the first-class merit.
This secret is known to people, and it is already forty years later. Liu Zuokun's grandson wanted to join the army to serve the country, but the town's indicators were not enough. He was already a white-haired old man, no longer the warrior he had been, and it was difficult for people to associate this old man with a first-class hero. This stubborn old man, in order to let his beloved grandson inherit his cause of joining the army and serving the country, thought for the first time of "taking the back door". So the old man took the first-class merit medal that had been sealed for many years, showed the local chief and said to the chief, trembling: "This is the medal that I have treasured for forty years, and I hope that the state can give my grandson the opportunity to join the army and serve the country." The chief was stunned, and the old man in front of him turned out to be a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a first-class meritorious person.
The news that the old man was awarded the "First Class Merit" medal when he was young did not go away, and it became a good story passed down by everyone. The local leader said to him: "Why don't you say it earlier, you can live in a better house when you say so." The old man said with a slightly sad expression: "Compared with my brothers who died in a different place, I am nothing compared to me, and it is not interesting to say such a thing everywhere." "The old man is like this without desire and without demand, when the blood field was bruised, and then he hid his name." He was a true hero, his name should not be forgotten, and his exploits should be immortalized. Hats off to veterans! This secret is known to people, and it is already forty years later.
