History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
A song "Singing Erxiao Cowherd" has been sung in China for more than half a century, and I believe that Wang Erxiao's name and deeds are known to every Chinese, and his story has also been written into textbooks.
Everyone has learned the spirit of Wang Erxiao, Wang Erxiao's real name is Yan Fuhua, Wang Erxiao was born in a poor family, he was orphaned when he was eleven years old, and at the age of eleven, he began to ask for food for a living.
Later, Wang Erxiao had long-term contact with the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and he also knew the importance of resisting the Japanese, so he chose to join the anti-Japanese children's group, don't look at him small, he is also doing his part.
Wang Erxiao herded cattle every day near the necessary places that the Japanese swept through, which was equivalent to a sentry, and at the same time, he also took time to cut grass, deliver letters, and send clothes to our soldiers, and did a lot of things.
One day, the Japanese came to sweep up again, and before Wang Erxiao could leave, he was stopped by the Japanese, who asked him to lead the way, and he also pretended to be very obedient and walked in the front.
Wang Er knew very well in his heart that the Japanese sweeping was to the extreme, and if he really led the way in, the whole village would suffer, so he had a plan and took the Japanese around a few times.
This was to buy time for the villagers to move, and at the impatient urging of the Japanese, Wang Erxiao led the Japanese into the ambush circle of the army, and the sound of gunfire rang out from all directions.
At this time, the Japanese knew that they had made a plan, and the Japanese, who were ashamed and angry, did not hesitate to stab Wang Erxiao to death with a bayonet, and the witty and brave little hero Wang Erxiao lost his life, and he was only thirteen years old at this time.
In fact, there is another person in this story, this person is Wang Erxiao's partner named Shi Linshan, Shi Linshan was only eight years old at the time, Wang Erxiao let him hurry to report the letter at the first time he found the Japanese, and he stayed behind to monitor the enemy.
After the war broke out, because he did not trust Wang Erxiao, he returned to find Wang Erxiao again, but he saw the scene of the Japanese killing Wang Erxiao with his own eyes, which made him engraved in his mind.
Even after the war was over, Shi Linshan could not forget all this, because Wang Erxiao was a child like him, and in his heart he always believed that his life was given by Wang Erxiao, that he gave himself the opportunity to live, and that he faced the fierce Japanese alone.
Later, Shi Linshan took over Wang Erxiao's work, he set him as an example, and when he grew up, he did not leave his hometown, and he has been dedicated to the village since the end of the war.
He also said to the outside world that an important reason why he did not leave was to guard the tomb for Wang Erxiao, and he wanted to repay this kindness, so he would keep it until he died.
The country has not forgotten Wang Erxiao, forty years after Wang Erxiao's sacrifice, he was posthumously recognized as a martyr by the state, and Shi Linshan practiced Mandarin hard and took the initiative to serve as a volunteer interpreter.
He wanted more people to know the story of Wang Erxiao, time flew by, and the old man guarded the tomb of Wang Erxiao for more than half a century, which was very rare.
The village also built a village history museum, and Shi Linshan also worked in it, and he kept telling the stories of the past to the people who came to play, and he also became one of the few people in the mountain who had a very standard Mandarin. No matter when it comes, the spirit of Wang Erxiao is worth learning forever.
