How to choose the direction of progress is the most important issue in people's lives, some people have worked hard for the country and the people all their lives, and have worked hard for the dreams in their hearts all their lives, but they never say much about their contributions, let alone ask for any returns.
They have their own pursuits in their hearts, do not seek fame and fortune, do not want to be admired by thousands of people, only hope to be able to use their own weak strength to contribute to the country and the people.
There is an ordinary old man in Daliangshan, Sichuan, who when the county government provided the file after his death at the age of 104, the children and daughters learned that their father had once been on the battlefield and had made ten first-class merits and twelve second-class merits, but so many meritorious fathers never mentioned a word.

Xiao Wanshi joined the Communist Party of China
Xiao Wanshi was born in 1905 in a poor family in Hebei, the Xiao family is as poor as many ordinary families, but the children of the Xiao family live a very happy life, parents love, brothers and sisters get along harmoniously, and often do some housework within their ability on weekdays to reduce the burden on the family.
But the good times did not last long, the sudden war completely broke the original peaceful and happy family, in order to protect themselves in the chaotic world, but also want to have a way to live, twenty-two-year-old Xiao Wanshi chose to join the guerrillas.

Xiao Wanshi did not know what he had done wrong, and he could not understand why the peaceful and happy family had undergone earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time, and Xiao Wanshi, who had been severely hit, was even more determined to seek justice for the people and unswervingly move forward on the road of socialist revolution.
Since then, Xiao Wanshi has performed well in the guerrillas, and the courage and wisdom of rushing to the forefront of every war to fight the enemy has made him quickly appreciated by the party's leadership, and he has made great achievements on the battlefield many times.
In 1938, with his excellent performance, Xiao Wanshi joined the Communist Party of China and became a glorious party member, and after joining the Communist Party of China, Xiao Wanshi was strict with himself at all times and absolutely did not do anything ashamed of the party and the people.

The idea of avenging his family has always been in his heart, making Xiao Wanshi more and more brave on the battlefield, he is never afraid of being injured, and he is not afraid of the enemy's swords and guns, even if there is no suitable weapon in his hand, he never retreats.
He knew that the weapons of our party's fighters had always been inferior to the advanced weapons of the enemy, so he personally made a sharp spear, which could at least have a few more chances of winning on the battlefield than fighting with the devils with their bare hands.
In Xiao Wanshi's eyes, he thought that even if he died, he could kill a few more enemies and die again, and such a fearless spirit infected many people.
Go to war
Xiao Wanshi had a great achievement in battle
Xiao Wanshi never lived up to the expectations of the party organization, and Xiao Wanshi, who was both wise and courageous, once cooperated with a soldier, and the two cooperated tacitly, breaking into the Japanese artillery tower in the dark of night, killing 19 Japanese soldiers without being discovered by the other side, and then retreating completely.
Such a bold act made Xiao Wanshi win the unanimous approval of the fighters of the same level, but he did not feel that he had made any merit, but he only fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations as a revolutionary fighter, walked every step of his life in a down-to-earth manner, and conscientiously completed every task assigned by his superiors, which became the purpose of Xiao Wanshi's life.
Not only was he brave and fearless on the battlefield, but in his daily life, Xiao Wanshi was also a meticulous person, and he could maintain his vigilance at any time, and Xiao Wanshi once found a pair of Japanese soldiers bathing halfway during a patrol mission with the soldiers.

He immediately agreed with his companions not to fight the grass and snakes and cause them a direct confrontation, but to hide all their clothes as quickly as possible when the Japanese soldiers did not react, and then take advantage of the fact that the Japanese soldiers were unarmed, and take them all prisoner without bloodshed.
In 1938, the Japanese army carried out a frenzied siege of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, Xiao Wan was at that time and his comrades-in-arms rose up to resist, although the war was finally won, but also a tragic victory, the team finally left only a few people, Xiao Wanshi was seriously injured, almost did not survive, leaving two bullet fragments in the body.

After joining the party, Xiao Wanshi's many outstanding performances have been seen by the party organization, and he has been promoted all the way from an ordinary soldier to a deputy company commander, he has participated in countless battles, no matter where there is a need, he will not hesitate to go to the top, from Xiao Wanshi's body, he completely let everyone see the backbone and courage of a PLA soldier.
In large-scale wars such as the Hundred Regiments War, the Battle of Luoyang, and the Battle of Yunnan, There is the shadow of Xiao Wanshi, who and the soldiers face the enemy together, fight bravely on the battlefield, fulfill their original promises, and use their lives and blood to win a safe and happy society for the people.

Xiao Wanshi spent the rest of his life in anonymity
In 1949, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression finally came to an end, because he had been working conscientiously and responsibly, so Xiao Wanshi was appointed to Liangshan to encircle and suppress some local bandits, and at the same time to rectify some things in Liangshan that did not comply with laws and regulations.
Because he had been a poor person for many years, Xiao Wanshi was particularly soft to the poor people, and in the process of carrying out the task, he chose to "raise his noble hand" for the people several times, and it was precisely because of this soft heart that Xiao Wanshi had a little more human touch.
Xiao Wanshi knows better than anyone that the people's lives are not easy, even if it is not the time of work, as long as they meet the people on weekdays, if they have difficulties, they will choose to help if they can help.
From the moment Xiao Wanshi joined the guerrillas to his retirement, he had experienced countless wars and made great achievements, but he did not care about all these merits, but regarded all his honors and praises as external things.
After starting a family and having children, they only teach them to maintain a hard and simple style, absolutely not to oppress the people, and to live their own lives in a serious and down-to-earth manner.
Xiao Wanshi never mentioned his honor and merit to the children, and when the children asked him about his youth, Xiao Wanshi simply stated that he had been a soldier, and most of the stories in the past were how brave the warriors were, and did not mention themselves at all.
Therefore, his children had no idea who Xiao Wanshi really was. Xiao Wanshi lived a peaceful life, living for 104 years, and after his death, the county government provided the old man's file, and the children learned that his father had made so many meritorious deeds on the battlefield and was a real hero.
