During the War of Resistance, my sister sent a pair of shoes to my brother, but there was no more news, and it was only 60 years later that I found the trace
A few decades ago, Japanese imperialism invaded our country, and the eight-year War of Resistance was extremely arduous. In order to defeat Japan, many people left their hometowns, left their parents, left their brothers and sisters, and joined the anti-Japanese ranks. Many people change their names and surnames after leaving their families, so no one knows where you came from. Once sacrificed, no one in the family can find a place to sacrifice.
Today I want to tell you about a martyr, who was such a person, who had three younger sisters and a younger brother in his family, who resolutely and resolutely participated in the War of Resistance, but in the end he was not heard from. The youngest sister missed him very much, and his second sister also hung up on him all day, not forgetting their eldest brother when he was dying.
In his last words, he said: "I dreamed of the eldest brother again, and I called him, but he could not hear me calling him, but he kept going forward, and you must find the whereabouts of your brother." These words made people cry and moved, so the second sister Xiang Xiuwen began the journey to find her brother.
This martyr was called Xiang Junwen, also known as Lei Ye, or Lei Hua, Lei Yu, he had several names, people in that era changed their names very normally, sometimes in order to avoid danger need to change a name. Originally, Xiang Junwen's family conditions were still quite good, but after his parents died, he fell behind, and as the eldest in the family, he had to take on the heavy responsibilities of the family.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he joined the anti-war team, but he also arranged for his three younger sisters and younger brothers before leaving. In fact, the situation in his family needs him to bear more, but the country is in danger, even if the family complains about him, he will go.
When he first left home, Xiang Junwen wrote a letter back every once in a while, which was a concern for the family, all of which were very small things, such as asking his sister to take his brother well, crossing the street to pay attention to safety, and telling them to read more. But then the more time passed, the fewer letters became, and the last letter was sent at a pharmacy in Tangchenzhuang, Hebei Province.
The letter said that there were no shoes to wear, and he wanted his sister to make him a pair of shoes, so his sister made a pair of shoes for him and sent them over. But when the War of Resistance was over, when the War of Liberation was over, Xiang Junwen still did not return, and the three younger sisters and brothers in the family were still waiting for him, but he never returned. Others said that if or long ago, but Xiang Xiuwen never gave up hope.
Xiang Xiuwen asked a person named Gao Yongzhen to help inquire into the news, and Gao Yongzhen found more than 300 people to inquire about the news, but there was still no news from Xiang Junwen. After that, Gao Yongzhen checked for another 12 years and finally found Xiang Junwen's clues.
At that time, the news found was the tombstone of a person named Lei Ye, which introduced the life of this person, who was a native of Zhejiang, who had gone to the Anti-Japanese War University, and after graduation, he turned to fight behind the enemy. I went to many places, took a lot of pictures about the anti-Japanese resistance, and smashed the camera before the sacrifice.
Before dying, Lei Ye suddenly encountered the enemy's sweep, the time was very urgent, Lei Ye hurried through the people, let them quickly escape. But he himself did not have time to escape, and was finally blocked by the devil. He and the ghost fired several shots at each other, and finally committed suicide himself.
After Lei Ye's sacrifice for many years, someone who understood his situation at that time found him. Lei Ye was probably Xiang Junwen, and his family didn't know what happened to him when he joined the army, nor did they know what happened to him in the end.
There are many people like Lei Ye or Xiang Junwen, who are very ordinary people in the Anti-Japanese War, but they have made the greatest personal effect on the Anti-Japanese War. Their families don't know what happened to them. We salute them, and it is with these unsung heroes that we can drive out the Japanese army and maintain the integrity of our territory.
