Our country has gone through a long and bumpy road, gone through hardships, suffered from the erosion of war, and is scarred, and it is not easy to develop to such a powerful scene today. In the face of foreign aggression, our country's heroic revolutionary martyrs threw their heads and spilled their blood, bent solely on defending their homeland and defending the country; they were not humble and brave enough to kill the enemy, and they were great heroes galloping on the battlefield.
Later, the War of Liberation began, and countless soldiers fought with the enemy on the battlefield, beating the enemy to the ground. The triumphant returning soldiers returned to the base after the war, facing the future, some chose to stay in the army, and some decided to take their families to "return to their hometowns". In an inconspicuous old house in Henan, inhabited by such a poor hero, why did he hide his identity from everyone?
1. Soldiers on the battlefield
The hero is Li Wenxiang, who was born into a poor family in Henan Province. At that time, the country was in the midst of war, his hometown was seriously damaged, and the family had to leave their homeland and drift around. Along the way, he was distressed to see that the people in distress were suffering from displacement. I am even more eager to one day be able to kill the enemy and serve the motherland. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was thought that the people could live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, the smoke of war did not dissipate.
Li Wenxiang, who wholeheartedly served the people, actively joined our party's army, and he resolutely chose to leave his hometown and participate in strict military training. In order to be able to become a soldier participating in actual combat as soon as possible, he worked hard to overcome the difficulties in learning, endured the harsh and harsh environment, and finally became a qualified soldier with a strong idea. Later, Li Wenxiang signed up to participate in the Battle of Jinan, and standing on the battlefield, he fought hard, relying on his agile skills to beat the enemy into the wilderness and fleeing, and made a meritorious contribution in this battle.
The Battle of Huaihai was the most brutal of the three battles and one of the most famous battles in Chinese history in which fewer victories were won. Together with his comrades-in-arms, Li Wenxiang took the explosive package and rushed toward the enemy's henchmen. Not only destroyed the enemy's defense line, but also blew up many enemy tanks, bringing huge losses to the opponent.
In this battle, many soldiers lost their lives, and Li Wenxiang was seriously wounded. Remembering the unfortunate death of his comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side with Happiness and Hardship, his heart was as if he had been cut by a knife, and he was very heartbroken. Later, he participated in many wars with the army and received many honors. After the liberation war, he continued to serve the country, and was later gloriously demobilized, and finally took his wife to build his hometown.
Second, the hero who exerts the residual heat
After Li Wenxiang returned to Henan, he was even busier, and as the captain of the village, he won the trust of the people. Facing the barren land in front of him, he was very worried. In order to help the villagers improve their lives together, Li Wenxiang invited many experts to study the soil in his hometown and discuss how to make the crops more productive. After research, they found that the land here is more suitable for growing rice, so Li Wenxiang took the villagers to dig a canal to divert water.
With the moisture of the land and the scientific farming technology, the grain production in the village has been greatly improved, and the people have also lived a happy life. Li Wenxiang feels that these rices are delicious and delicious, can become a major local feature, and can even be made into a brand for external sales. However, the road to entrepreneurship is very difficult, in order to build a road first, he took people to get busy, leaving early and returning late every day. He never gave up, humbly consulted the sales staff, and eventually got a lot of attention, and even came to buy local rice.
Third, simple life
Although he led the villagers to prosper, he himself lived a poor life, and he was eager to help the weak, donating his salary to those who suffered deeply. Later, when her daughter was about to go to high school, her wife unfortunately suffered from eye diseases and blindness, and in the face of high medical expenses and daughter's tuition, even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he still could not make up the money.
In order to reduce the burden on the family, the sensible daughter gave up studying and chose to go out to work. After Li Wenxiang returned to his hometown, he did not tell others about his military achievements, he thought he was just an ordinary person and did not need to show off, so he also refused the government's relief money. As a result, some people laughed at him for returning from the army and not even being able to pay his daughter's tuition. Despite the ridicule, he still has no regrets.
Li Wenxiang didn't care when he heard these words, but he felt guilty at the thought of not being able to provide a better life for his daughter. By chance, Li Wenxiang's peaceful life was broken, and his heroic deeds were finally announced to the public, which made those who had once laughed at him very ashamed. Such an old hero who does not ask for anything in return and selflessly dedicates himself to everyone is in awe.
epilogue
In fact, around us, there may be many people like Li Wenxiang who have experienced a cruel war, but choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and continue to silently shine among the masses of the people. In their hearts, the motherland is faith, engraved in their souls, and will never be destroyed. Their spirit of selfless dedication is worth learning from us, and we, as sons and daughters of China, must have more backbone, perseverance, and dedicate our own strength to the prosperity of the country.
