During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, due to the shortage of materials on the mainland, not only the people's lives were difficult, even the Eighth Route Army was like this, when there was really no way, the Eighth Route Army would also open its mouth to borrow the people's grain and materials, there was once an old man who lent the Eighth Route Army 11 million French tender, 40 years later, the old man took the IOU to the government to exchange, guess how much the state gave?
His name is Guo Jianying, and forty years ago, the Guo family was also a local famous and prestigious family, so the family was well-off. Everyone also knows that the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the masses was very good, because they would never use the things of the common people casually, and they would help people when they had time. In the process of marching, the Eighth Route Army, due to insufficient materials, but the road is relatively far away, forced to borrow some things from the local people for emergency, usually that is, to borrow some grain, but really for the needs of war, naturally also need the support of money.
Previously, the Eighth Route Army had borrowed money from the Guo family in order to fight, but Guo Jianying was also very patriotic, and the family also had this condition, so Guo Jianying lent the Eighth Route Army 11 million French currency without much consideration. This number is not small, and the Eighth Route Army does not dare to get it in its hands like this, so it has laid an IOU for Guo Jianying and promised that it will be repaid in the future. Then the army left, and for many years after that, the troops often fought in an irregular position, and they had no opportunity or ability to repay the arrears, of course, Guo Jianying never wanted this money. Thirty years after thirty years of Hedong and Thirty years of Hexi, after forty years, the Eighth Route Army won victory, new China was founded, and all the Chinese people slowly lived a good life.
The Eighth Route Army has always adhered to the principle of "not taking a needle and a thread from the masses", so all the villagers who have given things will write down corresponding IOUs and promise that after the victory in the war, they will return the favor in full. Forty years passed in a flash, and on this day, a peasant took an IOU that the Eighth Route Army had written down, and went to the government staff, hoping to exchange it.
After an investigation by the staff, it was learned that the situation was true. In these forty years, the Guo family slowly declined, and in his later years, Guo Jianying's life was not rich, and when he was helpless in order to make a living, Guo Jianying remembered the IOU, so he went to the government with the IOU. After some verification, the relevant departments determined that the IOU was true, so according to the exchange rate changes in these years, guo Jianying was finally given 90,000 yuan. After getting this money, Guo Jianying was very moved, of course, he was actually very embarrassed. However, this incident caused everyone to discuss, and everyone was touched by the behavior of both sides. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, no one's family was precarious, and although the Guo family had money, it was definitely because of a patriotic heart; on the other hand, the integrity of the Eighth Route Army was even more admirable, and they resolutely did not take a grain of rice from the common people.
