The Second World War brought deep suffering to the people of the world, especially those countries that were invaded, and the people suffered a senseless disaster and made great sacrifices to finally win the war.
On July 7, 1937, a gunshot rang out on the Lugou Bridge, and the Japanese fascists began to invade China in an all-round way, and the Chinese people began a difficult road of resistance. The Chinese nation has always been a bloody and backbone nation, and in the face of the crisis of national subjugation and extermination, the heroic Chinese people have stepped forward, and both men, women, young and old have thrown themselves into the vigorous anti-Japanese rescue action.
The 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is undoubtedly full of "blood and evil", and countless scholars have studied this history in depth, but the painstaking efforts behind it are still inexhaustible, and the editor has recently been reading the book "The Complete Record of China's War of Resistance Against Japan".
Let's go on to say that among the thousands of Chinese soldiers, Xie Chunsheng is an ordinary member and an extraordinary member, he joined the army at the age of 15, and his old mother was separated for 71 years, and his life is the epitome of countless anti-war veterans.
When Xie Chunsheng was 10 years old, his father was killed by the Japanese on the battlefield, and his mother fled with him and his sister. This incident planted the seeds of revenge in the heart of the young Xie Chunsheng, but if he wanted to become an anti-Japanese soldier, his mother, who had lost her husband, would certainly not agree.
At that time, Xie Chunsheng hid from his mother and joined the anti-Japanese troops of the Nationalist Army. On the battlefield, he witnessed more atrocities committed by the invaders, and also put away his childishness, becoming a brave anti-Japanese soldier, fighting bloody battles on the anti-Japanese battlefield, and miraculously surviving. At that time, Xie Chunsheng did not know what kind of separation awaited him and his family.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was another civil war, Xie Chunsheng retreated to Taiwan with the defeat of the Kuomintang troops, a shallow strait blocked his connection with the mainland, and for decades afterwards, he had no news of his family at all, and did not know whether his mother and sister were dead or alive.
But Xie Chunsheng never forgot his family. When the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were released from isolation and communication resumed, 79-year-old Xie Chunsheng embarked on a long road to find his relatives.
Due to the long-term isolation, the application to return to his hometown has to go through complicated approvals, coupled with the fact that he was too young and his memory was blurred when he left home, Xie Chunsheng's process of finding his mother was extremely difficult.
Finally, surprising news came that his 106-year-old mother was still alive and had never forgotten her son who had left home to join the army. So, at the end of her mother's life, the mother and son, who had been separated for 71 years, finally met and recognized each other.
As early as the Han Dynasty, someone wrote such a poem: "Fifteen from the army, eighty to return." Daofeng township people, who is there in the family? From a distance, it is a king's family, and the pine and cypress tombs are full of piles. "When a fifteen-year-old child who left home to join the army returned home at the age of eighty, there were no relatives waiting at home.
But when Xie Chunsheng returned to his hometown in his eighties, he could still wait for his relatives, which showed how lucky he was. Unfortunately, in China's war history, there are not many lucky people like him. Most of the soldiers either stayed on the battlefield forever or returned home and became alone.
In fact, without the sacrifices of Chinese soldiers like Xie Chunsheng, there would be no peaceful and stable life today. Only when the country is strong can it not be bullied by foreign enemies and stand upright among the great powers. Therefore, we should keep history in mind, not forget the martyrs, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
