During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our country was short of internal and external troubles and materials, so the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army often did not have enough to eat and wear, and the conditions for the War of Resistance were very difficult; although the United Front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formed later, Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to pay the salaries of the Eighth Route Army, so the soldiers in the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression could only find their own way to solve them.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army stipulated that it was not possible to take the masses' property in vain; if it really wanted to borrow grain, it was necessary to give money; if there was no money for the time being, it was necessary to lay down an IOU; when the war was over, it was necessary to repay the money to the people; if it was borrowed money, it was even more necessary to repay it, and it was impossible to open its mouth to the masses of the people until the point of last resort; however, as more and more people voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan, the size of the contingent became larger and larger, and the problem of the soldiers' daily meals became even more severe, and the conditions at that time were really too difficult.
Because of the pain of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, an old man named Guo Jianying voluntarily borrowed eleven million French dollars to the soldiers, because Guo Jianying's family was relatively wealthy in the local area, so he was willing to contribute to the anti-Japanese resistance, when the Eighth Route Army wrote an IOU to the old man, in fact, the old man never thought of letting the soldiers pay back the money, saving the IOU just to keep a thought, in the blink of an eye forty years, the old man Guo Jianying has long passed, his family has also fallen in the middle of the road, and the life of the descendants is very difficult.
When Guo Jianying's children were renovating the old house, they found that there was an IOU written by the Eighth Route Army in the box, because the days really could not go on, so he took the IOU to the relevant departments to try his luck, who knew that the state gave him eighty thousand yuan after verification, to know that eleven million French dollars are actually only worth twenty thousand yuan now, but the state feels that the old man has contributed to the confrontation day, so he is willing to take out several times the money to return to his old man, which is the grace of dripping water when the spring repays it.
