During the period of China's War of Resistance Against Japan, China was poor and white, but this did not affect the determination of the people at home to resist Japan, and many peasants participated in the war one after another, even if they were too poor to eat, they never robbed the masses of a grain, even if they really could not open the pot, they only borrowed it, and they will certainly return it in the future. Such strict discipline was able to make the War of Resistance successful, and also won the trust and support of the people, and at that time, many peasants donated grain and materials to the Eighth Route Army, and they could feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese peasants at their most difficult times. But no matter what help they received, most of the Eighth Route Army would write down IOUs, and when an old man lent the Eighth Route Army 11 million French currency, 40 years later, he "took the IOU" to cash in, and the government fulfilled its promise.
Whether it was during World War II or during the Long March of the Red Army, the Chinese team has always lacked the resources the most, and when fighting the enemy, the weapons are very rudimentary, often hungry, and when they are extremely hungry, they can only rely on eating belts and eating bark to survive, but even so, the Chinese soldiers have never robbed the peasants' property. Even so, the Eighth Route Army has always maintained the quality of not taking the masses "one needle and one line", never accepting the grain of the people in vain, and all the peasants who donate grain to the Eighth Route Army will receive an IOU. In the future, whenever someone needs it, he will take the IOU to the army to exchange, as long as the army can get his hands on it, he will return it in the same amount, and this credit has been widely praised by the Eighth Route Army.
Guo Jianying's old man also came to the army to donate a huge amount of money to the army, a total of 11 million French dollars, and the Eighth Route Army at that time was very grateful, and also gave the old man an IOU. At that time, the old man did not seek the government to exchange the money for a long time, but then the old man's situation changed after the once rich life. After Japan's defeat in the war, the french currency was seriously depreciated, and it may be possible to use tens of thousands of french dollars to eat bowl noodles, and it did not take long to completely collapse, and the market was no longer sold, and finally the old man's life became more and more depressed.
Desperate to survive, the old man went to the government with an IOU from 40 years ago, hoping to get help. At that time, the government was very shocked to see this IOU, attached great importance to this matter, and after the investigation, it was confirmed that this IOU was genuine, and experts were invited to estimate the amount, and finally the government really fulfilled its promise and paid a one-time payment of 80,000 yuan to Guo Jianying.
Now many people may think that this 80,000 yuan is a small amount, in 1986 before inflation, 80,000 yuan was a huge amount of money, enough to buy several houses in Beijing at that time, you know that many families at that time were only about ten yuan a month. Suddenly, this old man became a ten-thousand-yuan household at that time, and there was not necessarily a ten-thousand-yuan household in a village at that time.
At that time, the old man was also very surprised to be able to get this arrears, but he only held the idea of trying his luck, and he did not expect that after such a long time, the government could still be so trustworthy. China from ancient times to the present, has always had the quality of honesty, the government's commitment to the people is related to whether it can always get the support of the people, experts said: This IOU is not only 80,000 arrears, but also the trust and commitment between the government and the people, reflecting the feelings of the military and the people and the concerted efforts during the War of Resistance, so this IOU is a priceless treasure.
