The 97-year-old Wang Qingyun is already full of white hair and has never left the village and township where she lives in her life. After many years, the old man has been treasured by her husband Qiu Shengjun's "Certificate of Revolutionary Martyrs", which was reissued to the old man by the local county civil affairs bureau in November 1983, and was framed by the old man with a glass photo frame.
Recalling her husband's appearance, the old man said, in this life I only remember what he looked like when he was young, very handsome, that day when he was a soldier, he wore a big red flower, really wanted to leave, he cried, I also cried, there is a four-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son at home, the child also cried.
When he left, he knew he was going to go to the front, and I knew it, but we still supported him.
In a small village called Xichen Weizi in northern Anhui, we met the 97-year-old Wang Qingyun, the grandson of the old man was working in Taizhou, and when we met the old man in the afternoon, the old man's son-in-law was taking care of her at home.
In the rural areas of northern Anhui in mid-January, the temperature was above zero, and the elderly now have a subsidy of more than 3,000 yuan per month for the survivors of martyrs, and she said that she was still in good health, and there were almost no colds and flus in winter.
Just that morning, a local volunteer team also came to her home to pay her a New Year's greeting and sent some Spring Festival condolences, and over the years, the local civil affairs, retired soldiers, and cadres in townships and villages were more concerned about her, and she was also very warm.
The old man is not tall, now old, less than 1.6 meters, usually can not do farm work, nothing just sit at home or walk around, the younger generations in the village are more respectful of him.
The story of the old man and the feat of supporting her husband to go to the front line to sacrifice his life for the country have also become the stories of the vivid patriotic education passed down by generations of people in the local village.
This "Certificate of Revolutionary Martyrs" briefly records some information of Comrade Qiu Shengjun, who was born in 1923 and was 30 years old when he went to serve as a soldier in 1953. He died in the Battle of Jincheng in the year he was a soldier, a short time after the armistice was signed, in July of that year.
The Battle of Jincheng, a large-scale battle before the armistice that year, was called a "quasi-and fierce tiger's mouth and heart war".
On June 8, 1953, the most difficult issue of prisoners of war in the Korean battlefield armistice negotiations was finally agreed upon on the basis of the proposal of the Chinese and North Korean sides to repatriate all prisoners of war who insisted on repatriation and the rest to be transferred to neutral countries for fair repatriation. But Syngman Rhee's authorities blatantly broke the agreement and forcibly detained more than 27,000 Korean People's Army prisoners in the name of "release on the spot."
In order to promote peace and achieve a final truce, the Volunteer Army launched the Battle of Jincheng on the night of July 13, 1953. The 203rd Division of the 68th Army on the right wing of our Western Group dispatched the 2nd Battalion of the 609th Regiment and the reconnaissance squad of the 607th Regiment to form an interspersed detachment to destroy the regimental headquarters of the "White Tiger Regiment" of the Capital Division of the South Korean Army in one fell swoop by means of surprise attacks, disrupt the enemy's command system, break its defense system, make the first contribution to the smooth completion of the combat tasks of the Western Group, and create a classic combat example in the history of special operations in the world.

"In this campaign Chinese the Volunteer Army annihilated more than 53,000 enemy troops, crippled 4 divisions of the South Korean Army, and recovered more than 160 square kilometers of positions." The battle plan for the Battle of Kimseong, drawn up for the South Korean army, was very successful and laid a solid foundation for the smooth signing of the subsequent armistice agreement.
The 97-year-old Wang Qingyun did not know where Jincheng was, that is, in this battle, her husband Qiu Shengjun was sacrificed.
Qiu Shengjun's hometown was in xichenwei village of Wengou Commune, which was less than a kilometer north, that is, the Jinpu Railway, before Wang Qingyun married into this village, she was introduced by people, she lived north of the railway, the area north of the Jinpu Railway Line before liberation was the base area of the Suluyu Detachment of the Eighth Route Army and later the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army.
The village of Xichenwei, where Qiu Shengjun is located, is south of the Jinpu Line, and for a period of time, the little devils often harassed local residents along the railway line, and the lives of ordinary people were miserable.
Fortunately, the little devil was beaten away and liberated.
Wang Qingyun said that when he and her husband got married, they were still before liberation, and at that time life was not good, or the Communist Party was good, we liberated and ushered in New China, and gave our family 12 acres of land, a cattle and some agricultural tools.
When the sun sets, the old man looks at the sun in the west, the old man said that he has the protection of the child's father all his life, although the child's father is gone, but the local government and organization have been taking care of her and the child without interruption, from 1953 when the notice of her husband's sacrifice on the front line to become a martyr was delivered to her hand, she cried.
After that, she received a pension every month, from 3 yuan per month 69 years ago to more than 3,000 yuan per month now, the old man said that this is not a matter of much money, but at that time, it did help her take care of the children a lot, but more importantly, let the children feel that their father is glorious, the people in the village for so many years, are concerned and cared for their family.
The old man had no way of knowing the details of her husband's sacrifice, but from some of the stories she had heard from her husband's comrades-in-arms, she had heard that her husband had died in order to blow up a bunker of the enemy in front of her, but there was no exact information.
After her husband went to the front, he wrote her a letter and sent her a 3 yuan allowance, which was the only family letter she received from her husband. In his family letter, the husband said, "I may be about to go to war, and if I sacrifice myself, the organization will help him take care of you and your children."
The family letter sent by her husband was written on a red happy word, and the old man said this, laughing, and she said that she did not know why her husband wrote such a few words on the red happy word.
Instead, there was something hot in the old man's eyes, and the old man couldn't hold back the tears, but his eyes were sad.
Just as the old man was waiting for her husband's second family letter, what was waiting was a martyr's certificate.
At home, from the thatched house where he lived in that year, to the brick and tile house later, to the two-story house built by the children in the rural hometown, the old man has been carrying a wooden box.
She said that the wooden box was bought by her husband's family when she married her husband, and it has been more than seventy years.
It was also the only thing they left behind after they got married.
At that time, the only family letter written by her husband had long been lost, and there was no money to take a photo at that time, so if she knew that her husband could not come back, she would take a photo.
Perhaps, the old man did not know that comrade Qiu Shengjun's husband, comrade Qiu Shengjun, fought a famous Battle of Seed Mountain in late May 1951, which was a local battle that broke out in the famous Tieyuan Blockade Battle of the Volunteer Army. With great sacrifices, the volunteer army won the main force of the volunteer army to complete the task of strategic transfer, and the Battle of Tieyuan became famous in the world from then on. Among them, the Seed Hill Defense Battle is a classic.
When the Battle of Seed Mountain broke out, the husband was still in his hometown in rural Anhui, and his newly married wife for two years was planting land, cultivating land, and bringing a baby in the life of building a new China, when the eldest daughter was two years old, and the son had not yet been born.
Her husband, Qiu Shengjun, may not have known that the Battle of Jincheng, which he had taken to the battlefield two years later, was even more fierce than the Battle of Seed Mountain.
Unsuited in military uniform, plowing the fields at home, raising children, he was a new farmer and a good husband.
The moment he put on his military uniform, held a steel gun in his hand, and the trumpet sounded, he was a hero who was "majestic and exuberant" to maintain peace and serve the motherland.
It has been 69 years since her husband sacrificed, and the elderly Wang Qingyun is 97 years old this year, and she said that if her husband is alive and sees that the family has also lived a good life today, he is also happy.
However, the impression is that he has always been 30 years old, but unfortunately, he did not leave a photo.
The Great War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a just battle to defend peace and resist aggression, a great victory in the War to Resist US Aggression, a great victory in the united struggle between the peoples and armies of China and the DPRK, and a great victory in safeguarding world peace and the cause of human progress.
And what constitutes the "spirit of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" is an ordinary and ordinary flesh and blood body like Qiu Shengjun, an ordinary wife like Wang Qingyun, and sisters and parents.
It is another year of the New Year, fortunately, we were born in a peaceful and prosperous world, the glory of the prosperous world is lit by countless predecessors, once, they have also warmed one after another in a small village under the oil lamp, in the wisps of cooking smoke, the happiest parents are short, children laugh.
