Ungrateful country: In order to develop the economy, bulldoze the tombs of more than 100,000 martyrs in China and build high-rise buildings
In March, the spring nest has been formed, and the swallows between the beams are too merciless. ——Cao Xueqin's "Dai Yu Funeral Flower Poem"

The verse has a cloud: "Cast me with a papaya, and repay it with Qiong Yao." "Our ancestors taught us very early that the grace of dripping water should be repaid with a gushing spring, and we should be a good person who believes in words and knows how to repay. There have been countless examples of this throughout the ages, Han Xin repaid his mother with a meal of grace after his achievements, and Jing Ke sacrificed his life to assassinate the King of Qin in order to repay the favor of Prince Dan of Yan.
Such a story is recorded in the "Left Biography". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Wuzi, the Grand Master of the Jin Dynasty, had a favorite concubine, and Wei Wuzi loved her very much, but he was old and his favorite concubine was still young, and Wei Wuzi could not bear to let her be buried, so he instructed his son that in the future, after his death, he would find another good person for his favorite concubine to marry. Later, Wei Wuzi was seriously ill and his thoughts were unclear, and he told his son that he hoped to let his favorite concubine accompany him to the funeral and accompany him for a long time.
After Wei Wuzi's death, his son Wei Hao thought that his father was ill and confused, and what he said could not be counted, so he asked his favorite concubine to remarry according to his father's early instructions. Later, Wei Hao encountered danger on the battlefield, but fortunately an old man who woven a grass ring trip over his enemy gave Wei Hao an opportunity to kill the enemy and win the war. It was night, Cheng Hao saw an old man in a dream, the old man said that he was the father of the concubine, in order to repay him for saving his daughter's life, so he tied grass in return.
The situation was critical, and the expeditionary force was rushing thousands of miles
But not everyone has such virtues, and there are always stories of Mr. Dongguo and wolves, such as Myanmar, which is such an ungrateful country. In 1942, Japan launched a war against Burma, when Burma was still a British colony, and Britain itself was trapped in the European battlefield, in the mud, and could not send troops to support Burma. However, the Japanese side sent a large force of more than 60,000 people, well-armed and rapid offensive, and in just two months, Burma was about to sink. Seeing that Burma was about to be conquered by Japan and the fascist forces were about to strengthen, the British government urgently asked the Chinese side for help.
At that time, China was also in the midst of war, and we began to resist Japan partially in 1931, and then began to resist Japan in an all-round way in 1937. After many years of war, the soldiers who went forward and followed each other used their bodies to block the pace of Japanese aggression, and they were already powerless, and the country's materials and armaments were about to be exhausted and needed to be purchased from the outside. Because most of the land and sea transport lines were occupied by the Japanese army, I had the unique idea of transporting supplies from the southwest.
Therefore, we spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Yunnan Burma Highway in a year, and it seemed that we could successfully transport materials, but Myanmar was facing the fall. In order to protect our military transportation lines, and to avoid Japan sneaking up on us from the southwest after taking control of Burma, the situation would be even more unfavorable to us, so China resolutely made a historic decision to resist Japan and aid Burma and defend its homeland. We have sent hundreds of thousands of people to form the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and we have traveled thousands of miles to Burma to support our neighbors and defend our homeland.
The expeditionary force won the victory
With the addition of hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary forces, the war situation soon changed, successfully blocking the pace of Japanese aggression. However, due to the excellent equipment of the Japanese army, our side is not invincible, so our side also suffered heavy losses, there are hundreds of thousands of people killed on the battlefield, it can be said that these fighters, with their Sensen white bones to build a high wall, defended Burma, prevented their fate of the country.
Because of the war and poor transportation conditions at that time, it was inconvenient to bring so many corpses back to China, so they could only be buried on the spot. At our strong request, the Burmese side built a martyrs' cemetery to commemorate the souls of those who died. "Poor indeterminate river bones, like people in the dreams of spring girls." Many sons, husbands, fathers, while their parents, wives, and children were still at home eagerly waiting for them to return home, remained in a foreign land forever, and were not allowed to return to their hometown until they died.
Time flies, and the cemetery becomes a tall building
Now decades have passed. For the sake of economic development, the Burmese side has bulldozed more than 100,000 heroic martyrs' cemeteries in China and built high-rise buildings on them. In stark contrast, however, the Martyrs' Cemetery for British and American soldiers is well preserved. They erected monuments to the dead warriors of Britain and the United States, and engraved the information of the dead soldiers on the stele in detail, so that future generations could send mourning.
Our old Chinese saying is that it is easy to add flowers and flowers, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but some countries do not believe these words, and look at it. We will do righteous deeds and walk the right path on earth, and one day the dragon will awaken again and stand proudly in the east. I only hope that when we are capable enough, we can have the opportunity to take the heroes home, and don't let the heroes, shed blood and tears. But may one day the soul return and the heroic soul return home.
