As we all know, in China's modern history, there was a cruel history, that is, the War of Resistance Against Japan. Countless great revolutionary martyrs and the indomitable spirit of resistance finally won this victory. At that time, our equipment was the worst, it was very difficult to eat and wear, there were no advanced weapons, and the War of Resistance Against Japan was very arduous. But no matter how hard it was, the warriors persevered, drove out the hateful invaders, and won the victory.
At that time, our army's life was entirely on its own, and on the road of the War of Resistance, as long as it was something that could be eaten, it had eaten everything. The common people looked very distressed and volunteered to take out their own grain and give it to the soldiers to eat, but the soldiers refused. No matter how difficult it is, our Party has always adhered to a stipulation, that is, it will not take a needle and a thread from the common people. However, if you really take the things of the people, you will also write down an IOU, and you will never take the things of the people in vain, and promise to return them after the war.
At that time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army left a lot of IOUs on the marching road. After the end of the war, the government issued a notice to let the people take the IOU to the government for exchange, but because the information transmission is slow and the communication is relatively backward, many people have not received the news. What we want to talk about today is an IOU that has been kept for decades, and it was only exchanged by the government in the 80s. An old man in Shanxi, holding an IOU with 11 million yuan written on it, wanted to find the government to exchange it, what happened?
Experts are also very surprised to see the old man's IOU, after all, this is not a small amount of money. And it is so many years, experts must check the authenticity of the IOU, and then confirm that it is correct, in the exchange. When the experts examined it closely, they found that it was a real IOU, which was also stamped with the stamp of the general of the army at that time. After the expert saw it, he also hurriedly asked the old man: Who is your father? The old man said that he was just a farmer, and this IOU was left by his father.
At that time, when the Eighth Route Army found his father, his family was still relatively wealthy, so he could give so much money. At that time, his father did not intend to return the money, they knew that the Eighth Route Army was not easy, which was also a support for the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, the Eighth Route Army has a good work style and must stay, so it has this IOU. Later, because the family was in the middle of the road, life was really difficult, and I had no choice but to find the government, and the government also kept its promise and gave the old man 80,000 yuan. Only when the military and the people are close to each other, will the motherland get better and better.
