The founding of New China is inseparable from the efforts of the revolutionary ancestors, and in the decades of struggle, Chinese people have gone forward for the sake of the country's strength, and many heroic songs have emerged. After the Nanchang Uprising, the People's Army was formed and later developed into a Red Army unit. In the revolutionary struggle, the Red Army troops were relatively backward in weapons and equipment, and their resources were very poor, but they were constantly harassed and invaded by the enemy, but they always stuck to their posts, relying on their will and their spirit of dedication to the country.
In the course of many years of struggle, the Red Army troops have developed a lot of fine work styles, such as not taking a needle and a thread from the masses, and even the Red Army troops have used the people's grain, but left behind coins that are higher than the market price of grain. However, at that time, because of the lack of materials, at that time, many materials of the Red Army troops were borrowed from the people, so they left a lot of IOUs at that time, and for various reasons, many IOUs were left until now, including Hunan peasants who took out ious from the Eighth Route Army 70 years ago, the amount was not small, borrowed 420 oceans, how much should be repaid now?
In 2015, Zhou Yanguang, a farmer in Hunan Province, pulled out a yellowed IOU with silver dollars and supplies borrowed from his father by the Eighth Route Army in March 1945. What is even more surprising is that the payment of the IOU was actually Marshal He Long, which attracted widespread attention in the society as soon as it was announced, and after investigation and consultation with the parties involved in the matter at that time: the youngest Red Army in China, the oldest Red Army in China, the authenticity of this IOU was also recognized.
So with the current purchasing power, 420 oceans and those supplies, how much should it be worth today? In fact, if you look at it according to the current purchase, its value is about 50,000 yuan; but some netizens said that they should be compensated according to the collection price. In fact, the significance of this IOU is more important than money, it is actually very difficult to evaluate it, its appearance is more valuable for our country to understand the Eighth Route Army in depth; and Zhou Yanguang's father, at a time of national crisis, can still take out so many oceans to help the Eighth Route Army, and his contribution to the Chinese revolution also needs to be recognized.
