Whenever our country encounters a disaster, there will always be many brave people who stand up, and it is precisely because of the existence of such people that we have a happy life now. War is cruel after all, and many people have sacrificed their precious lives because of war. Of course, some people survived. The protagonist of our story today is an old man who once fought in the war.
The old man, named Qi Xiuti, returned to his hometown after the end of the war, but because of the hardships of life, when he was old, he actually needed to collect waste to maintain his life, and no one knew his identity. It wasn't until his 18,000 yuan savings were stolen and he had no choice but to call the police that people knew his identity and even alarmed the senior military leaders.
In 1922, Qi Xiuti was born in Qizhai Village, Henan. At the age of 16, Qi Xiuti joined the army to defend the country. However, Qi Xiuti, who had just joined the army, had not yet touched the gun for two days when he received an order from his superiors to prepare for a battle. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, our country's weapons and equipment were not very good, and Qi Xiuti needed to face the Japanese invaders with aircraft cannons. Although they had not received several days of training, none of the people in the same team as Qi Xiuti were greedy for life and afraid of death, and in the face of the well-equipped Japanese invaders, they raised their weapons to resist.
However, the gap in equipment was still too large, and there were many casualties on Qi Xiu's side, and Qi Xiu's body was unfortunately stunned by enemy artillery fire. Later, his squad leader found him and rescued him. Although he had recovered a life, Qi Xiuti was separated from the large army. Later, Qi Xiuti and the squad leader, who were seriously injured, saw several Japanese soldiers flirting with a Chinese woman, and qi Xiuti, who could not see the past, carried out a sneak attack, killed these Japanese soldiers, and saved the woman. Qi Xiu's body in the back really couldn't hold back, so he was sent back by the squad leader to recuperate. After his health was better, Qi Xiuti joined the army again, this time he followed the large troops and fought a lot of fierce battles.
After the end of the war, Qi Xiuti returned to his hometown and began to farm. Unfortunately, because during the war, the arm was not small and injured, so the movement was a little inconvenient, which affected the work. In that era, men who could not work were to be looked down upon, and naturally no woman was willing to marry Qi Xiuti. It wasn't until Qi Xiu ti was dozens of years old that he finally got married.
Life after marriage is not happy, and although Qi Xiuti works hard every day, he still can't afford to support his family. Moreover, although he had participated in battles, at that time, because Qi Xiuti was participating in the Kuomintang army, he did not dare to tell others about his identity, for fear of others gossiping. Qi Xiuti, who is already more than 90 years old, in order to be able to take care of his wife, can only helplessly pick up garbage to subsidize the family. Because of the poverty of life, when Qi Xiuti ate with his wife, he only dared to eat pickles and steamed buns.
What really made Qi Xiuti despair was that the 18,000 yuan he and his wife had painstakingly saved was actually stolen. This directly forced Qi Xiutian to a dead end, and this 18,000 was not only his own painstaking efforts, but also the life-saving money for buying medicine for his wife. In desperation, Qi Xiuti could only seek help from the police. When the police received Qi Xiuti's report, they registered his information according to the custom, and realized that the identity of this person may not be so simple, so they reported it to their superiors. In the end, the senior leaders were shocked. It turned out that Qi Xiuti had participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan in that year, and he had also made a lot of merit.
After the matter of Qi Xiu's body was known to the society, many kind people extended their help. In just a few days, Qi Xiuti received tens of thousands of donations. When Qi Xiuti received the donation, the whole person was very excited. I hope that all anti-Japanese veterans can have a good home and a happy life until the last moment.
