Parents are here, not far to travel, the tour must be good. - "The Analects of Li Ren

War is a terrible word because it can throw a country into chaos and the lives of the people become particularly unstable.
No one likes war, but war has never stopped, and now, only strong can avoid war troubles.
China has experienced a period of war, in this era, in order to fight against the enemy and protect the rivers and mountains of the motherland, Chinese soldiers have done their best, countless predecessors have sacrificed because of this, and countless families have lived a life of eternal separation.
To us, these people are national heroes, the pride of the country, but to their families, they are just the children of their parents, the brothers and sisters of their siblings, the unique family.
Perhaps if they had a choice, they would rather their children not be heroes and wish they were alive and well.
Among the many heroes of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on the mainland, Xie Chunsheng is such a being.
His mother did not want him to join the army, but he secretly went, and it was 71 years.
1. Xie Chunsheng, a hero of the Anti-Japanese Resistance
Xie Chunsheng was born in a small mountain village that is very ordinary, although the living conditions are not too good, but it is also an ordinary happiness for a family of four to be together all the time.
Originally, Xie Chunsheng could always live such a happy life, but what they did not expect was that the disaster had already targeted them unconsciously.
Japan, which had been eyeing China for a long time, finally made a move and began a full-scale invasion of China, and Xie Chunsheng's family was affected by the war and began a life of upheaval and displacement.
In desperation, Xie Chunsheng's parents fled with him and his sister, trying to find a place to live.
However, when the whole country is affected by the war, it is futile to flee anywhere.
In the process of escape, the father did not dodge the bullets of the Japanese after all, unfortunately died, and the mother could only grit her teeth and continue to run around with her two children in such a situation.
Xie Chunsheng lost his father at such a young age as fifteen, and his mentality of war changed from initial fear to hatred, and he knew that such an escape was futile, such as
If you really want to keep yourself and your family safe, there is only one way, and that is to become a soldier and become the one who ends the war.
Later, Xie Chunsheng told his mother about the idea of joining the army, and he did not expect to be strongly opposed by his mother, in fact, this is the common sentiment of people.
We can all understand that for a wife who has just lost her husband, she certainly does not want to suffer the pain of losing her son anymore.
However, what her mother did not expect was that Xie Chunsheng's willingness to join the army was so strong, and he, who had always been filial and obedient, rebelled against his mother this time.
Before she could let go, she sneaked out of the village and became a member of the anti-Japanese army.
No matter how much Xie Chunsheng had a passion, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and he had no experience in marching and fighting.
So his commander did not trust him to go to the battlefield, so he first made him a correspondent and studied behind experienced veterans.
For Xie Chunsheng, this job is not difficult, because he has long had experience in dealing with people in a long period of upheaval and displacement, so he is quickly qualified for this task.
Later, the war became more and more fierce, the front line lacked manpower, and these reserve forces also had to go to the battlefield to provide support, which was the first time Xie Chunsheng really went to the battlefield and truly felt the cruelty of the battlefield.
Although it was very dangerous, fortunately, they did not fail in their mission, won the war, and successfully survived.
Later, Xie Chunsheng became a soldier who was quite familiar with war, and his enthusiasm supported him to win the war
Many battles, meritorious achievements, but also let him survive on the dangerous battlefield, until the surrender of Japan in 1945.
Xie Chunsheng was like an arrow in his heart, and as soon as the war ended, he wanted to go home to find his mother and sister, but he did not expect that after the war with Japan, the civil war began again.
When the war was over, Xie Chunsheng went to Taiwan with a large army, to a place even farther away from his mother's hometown.
2. Reunite with your mother
Xie Chunsheng originally thought that he was only in Taiwan for a few years and would soon be able to go back, but due to his identity and other restrictions, he could not move in and out between Taiwan and the mainland at will.
In desperation, Xie Chunsheng had to settle down in Taiwan first, marry and have children, and do some small business to make a living.
This life began when he first retired from the army and continued until he became a dying old man.
Even if he had his own home and life, he still didn't have any sense of belonging in the city, because he knew that his roots were not here, but in the distant continent.
When he was idle, he would always sit alone in the doorway, looking in the direction of his hometown, alone smoking a cigarette and shedding tears.
Xie Chunsheng originally thought that he would spend his whole life in the longing for his hometown and relatives, but he did not expect that in the 1980s, cross-strait relations eased somewhat
He was finally able to return to the embrace of the motherland and finally embark on the road home.
However, his heart was very anxious about returning home this time, because he did not know whether his mother and sister were still alive.
He's been away from home for 71 years, and he's an 86-year-old man.
Xie Chunsheng never gave up searching for their whereabouts, sparing no effort to inquire and visit.
Finally, Kung Fu lived up to his painstaking efforts, and with the help of all walks of life, he found his way home.
After 86 years, he met his sister, who had left as a little girl's sister, and is now an old man with white hair like him.
The two had a lot to say for years, but Xie Chunsheng couldn't say anything for a moment when he saw his bedridden 106-year-old mother.
At that time, her mother had been lying in bed for many years because of a stroke, but even though the pain was tormenting her all the time, she was never willing to die, because she had not yet seen her son.
After Xie Chunsheng returned, her mother's eyes lit up, as if she had finally made a wish, and she closed her eyes that night.
III. Conclusion
The son secretly joined the army to resist the Japanese, and as soon as he left, it was 71 years, and the 106-year-old mother in the family was still waiting for him to come home.
It turned out that the power of maternal love could really transcend life, and if it were not for the worry about Xie Chunsheng, the mother would not have supported until now.
It can be said that she is a happy mother, because she has successfully waited for her son and can end her life contentedly.
