In Hebei, there is a seventy-year-old man named Sun Shunming, who was rejected by his daughter-in-law and drove him out of the house, and the government actually sent 300,000 yuan in cash after finding out his identity. What is his merit?
One day, there was a quarrel in the family's home, and it turned out that Sun Shunming's daughter-in-law couldn't look down on the old man at all, and while driving him out, he scolded loudly:
"This family support you is a burden, full of illness, even the work of the family can not be done, hurry up, do not drag us down." 」
As she spoke, she threw out the old man's bedding and clothes.

This septuagenarian is also helpless, and can only admit this filial piety behavior of his daughter-in-law, since he has been thrown out, he can only leave.
He slowly picked up his clothes on the ground, and then staggered to the outside of the village, next to the village there was a very dilapidated machine well room, no one would come here for many years, and the old man had nowhere to go, only to shelter from the wind and rain here.
After this matter spread in the village, he was full of contempt for the practices of the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, and he was very sympathetic to Sun Shunming, and he was powerless in the face of such an encounter, and the enthusiastic villagers often delivered food to the old man in the days that followed, because the old man had no money and no tools to cook.
It can only rely on eating "a hundred family meals" to survive, but such a day is a cruel destruction for Sun Shunming, who is already in poor health.

But soon after, the whole thing began to have a big reversal, the old man's embarrassing life completely changed, the government staff came to the village to give the old man 300,000 yuan in cash, the local leaders also gave him a proper arrangement, and this matter also spread throughout the village, many people do not know Sun Shunming's previous experience, for him is also full of curiosity, but Sun Shunming has never mentioned this matter to others, so what kind of identity does this septuagenarian have, can let his life directly come to a big reversal?
Decided to join the army
In 1942, it was the most intense time of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the lives of the people were painful, that is, in this year Sun Shunming was born, and Hebei was also the main battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the scene of the people's life affected every family, Sun Shunming's home was no exception, but his parents have been desperately trying to live, and the family's life can be regarded as OK.
When Sun Shunming was 5 years old, his father died of illness and the family lost its pillar
In the face of a difficult life, Sun Shunming and his mother depend on each other for their lives.

When Sun Shun was young next year, he knew his mother's difficulties, so in order to alleviate the pressure at home, he would often do something for his mother as much as he could, but when he was 8 years old, there was a sudden event that made the family that was already difficult to maintain his livelihood worse, his mother was seriously ill, and he did not have the strength to continue to work, but it cost money to treat the disease.
In this way, the 8-year-old Sun Shunming began to look around for work to catch medicine for his mother, but it was not long before her mother died.

Parents died, Sun Shunming became an orphan, because he was young to understand things, so the villagers in the village are very concerned about it, there is no parents at a young age, the villagers can help Sun Shunming, so they have also experienced a lot of tempering, in order to repay the villagers for their help, Sun Shunming will often do to help the villagers, a chance, someone in the village wants to go to the county seat, but needs a helper, so Sun Shunming followed the villagers into the county.
It was just after the end of the Korean War in 1958 and the volunteers returned triumphantly.
This scene was just seen by Sun Shunming, who was passing by, and the people on the side of the road were cheering, praising these people as heroes of the country and the hope of the country, and one by one the soldiers walked by him, all dressed in military uniforms, although some people were injured, but their faces were still full of smiles.

Sun Shunming looked at these volunteers, a thought germinated in his heart, he wanted to join the army, the original goal was just to live is enough, and then repay the villagers, this time finally found what he wanted to do, for the country to dedicate their strength is more important, after returning to the village Sun Shunming began to inquire around, the villagers learned that this child wanted to join the army, so they looked for a place to recruit, a few days later Sun Shunming came to the county town's recruitment office.

When the registration personnel came to the recruitment office, they needed to register the name and other information, but Sun Shunming could not read since he was a child, and his name could not be written, so he could only read his name to the registration personnel, because he did not know which word Sun Shunming was, so he wrote his name incorrectly, and it was also this oversight that caused no one to know Sun Shunming's previous identity.
Defend the country
This year, Sun Shunming was 16 years old and successfully enlisted in the army as he wished
After enlisting in the army for a period of time was to train in the army, during the training Sun Shunming was diligent and earnest, so the performance was outstanding for the leaders to appreciate, and the development of a helpful personality in the village also made him make friends in the army, and after the end of the training of the recruits, he was ordered to go to Chongqing Fuling to dig a cave, everyone just knew that coming here was to dig a cave, for the purpose of defense, and it was not clear what to do, because this trip to Chongqing was a confidential work.
However, the underground super wall they built was only exposed two years ago, these underground great walls, which have protected China for half a century, have now become tourist attractions for tourists to visit, and after the completion of the excavations, Sun Shunming's troops have a new task, that is, to go to the northwest region to do security work.
Tu | went to Tibet on a mission
Later, he was sent to the Sino-Indian border in Tibet to carry out a mission and carry out war preparation work, but this mission was a great challenge for him, after all, the plateau climate of the Himalayas was harsh, and for the soldiers on the plains, they all needed to overcome altitude sickness, and many soldiers often had adverse reactions, even if Sun Shunming's squad leader was good at mountain combat, but it was also very difficult to encounter such mountains, and when Sun Shunming came here at the beginning of the period, he also had dizziness, vomiting, and so on.
Even so, he could not stop his determination to defend the country, and he never regretted his choice.
At that time, India has always wanted to occupy China's territory, the southwest region of the mainland is eyeing the tiger, the mainland is absolutely not allowed, on the border line Indian soldiers have been trying to provoke the mainland, the fighters have secretly made up their minds, absolutely can not let India succeed, compared to the country's safety these altitude sickness is not nothing.
Finally, India's ambitions were exposed,
On September 20, 1962, it began to cross the border line "McMahon Line" and carried out a surprise attack on the People's Liberation Army stationed here, because our army did not have too much defense, India was undeclared war, resulting in the tragic killing of many soldiers of our army.

Even if the enemy is menacing, but our army still sticks to its own posts, Sun Shunming also always keeps in mind his mission to resist the Indian army, the Indian army's surprise attack is prepared for a long time, the Indian army is fully equipped so that the pressure on the soldiers of our army is increasing, so we can only act on the opportunity, our army began to rely on the local terrain, and began to fight with more than several times the number of Indian troops.
With our firm will and the spirit of defending the territory of the motherland to the death, our army has repeatedly defeated the Indian army, but the Indian army has not backed down.
The most important thing is that the three platoons of the enemy army are still lurking on the top of the mountain, encircling and suppressing our army, and the grenades can directly roll from the top of the mountain to the location of our soldiers, including Sun Shunming's unit.
The scope of its action has been greatly reduced, and each time the scope is reduced, many soldiers will be sacrificed, which has brought great lethality to our army.
Figure | our army vowed to fight to the death
Soon, there was a shortage of war in our army, and the space for activity was getting smaller and smaller, and it could be said that it was in danger.
The Indian army also found that our army was already suffering heavy casualties and had no strength to fight back, so it vigorously launched a fire attack on the range where our army was located, and in a short while there were very few soldiers left in our army, sun Shunming was also shot in the leg, he watched his comrades-in-arms one by one wounded and killed, so he pulled the trigger again and rushed to the enemy.

In the face of such a tense battle situation, our army could only choose to retreat, but Sun Shunming did not think so, and wanted to continue to confront the enemy, and only under the persuasion of the old squad leader did he calm down.
"Our character is to block the enemy's advance, now that it is completed, we have sacrificed a lot of soldiers, and now there are only a few of us who should retreat and wait for the rescue of the troops, instead of fighting the enemy with the few firepower we have left, this is completely to send his life, and then we can let him come back!" 」
Under the persuasion of the old squad leader, the crowd began to withdraw from the position, and found a cave nearby, the number of enemies was dozens of times that of Sun Shunming and others, under the enemy's search, it was finally evaded, Sun Shunming and several seriously wounded fighters waited in the cave for the arrival of reinforcements, and when surrounded by the enemy, the supplies of Sun Shunming and others were also blown up, so there was no food in the cave and no medicine to bandage the wounds, the soldiers waited for rescue with great difficulty, and it was good that the rescue troops quickly arrived to rescue them.

After returning to the troops after adjustment, Sun Shunming asked to return to the battlefield again and fight side by side with his comrades-in-arms, but because Sun Shunming's gunshot wounds were not yet good, the troops did not allow him to go to the battlefield again, but Sun Shunming's attitude was very resolute, and he said to the superior leaders:
"The country needs me, the comrades-in-arms need me, the comrades who sacrificed are waiting for our good news, I can't lie here, my wounds don't get in the way, and please ask my superiors to allow me to go to the front!"
Under Sun Shunming's request, the superior leaders finally agreed, and then followed the troops to the front line and began a frontal confrontation with the Indian army, saying that the sword on the battlefield had no eyes, and Sun Shunming also truly appreciated that even if his legs and feet were inconvenient, he also endured the pain to march to the enemy.
No sacrifice on the battlefield is lucky, injury is already a thing that is not worth mentioning, in the indian self-defense counterattack war our army soldiers performed well, pushed the Indian army back to the border line, and also continued to advance to the south, soon the Indian army completely routed, back to their own territory,
In this battle, many of Sun Shunming's comrades died, and in his opinion, it was a fluke that he could survive.
Picture | our army opened fire on the enemy
I have to say that Sun Shunming's perseverance is very firm, when the two sides are fighting head-on, Sun Shunming was hit by bullets again, but the battle is still in progress, he has no time to treat, he can only carry out simple bandaging,
So with the help of his comrades-in-arms, he gritted his teeth and pulled the bullet out of his flesh hard, this kind of severe pain is unbearable for ordinary people, to know that without anesthesia to pull out the bullet is completely walking the "ghost door", but Sun Shunming with amazing will to survive,
He went into battle again, and after the battle was over, Sun Shunming carried out disinfection measures.

At the end of the battle, Sun Shunming and others continued to advance, arresting prisoners and attacking the organization of the enemy, which was greatly recognized by his superiors, and gave Sun Shunming the honor of second-class merit in his collective, of which Sun Shunming also received the honor of personal first-class merit.

Sun Shunming won a lot of honors in the battle, if he continued to stay in the army, there would be better development, but he knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he continued to stay in the army to enjoy the supply of the troops, thinking of this, he was reluctant in his heart, so he chose to leave the army and return to his hometown.
Because Sun Shunming also made a lot of meritorious achievements in the battle against India, the leaders of his unit also attached great importance to his retirement and wanted to give him some help in life, but Sun Shunming declined, saying that he did not want to trouble others.
In this way, he returned to his hometown with his military merit medals and medals of honor, and after returning to his hometown, Sun Shunming kept the medals of merit and never mentioned his military exploits to the people around him, and began his low-key life in the village.

Kicked out of the house
Sun Shunming, who returned to his hometown, took the subsidies given by the army and some of the funds he earned in peacetime, built 4 tile houses in the village, and married and had children, and his life was still relatively stable, but at that time, there were very few people who could build houses, many people in the village helped their own villagers when they were young, so some people with difficulties in life he would lend a helping hand, and some villagers began to borrow money from him, he was always very atmospheric, and the villagers remembered his goodness in their hearts over time.
But Sun Shunming's good days are not long, his wife died early because of illness, there are only two sons left in the family, in order to pull these two sons to grow up, Sun Shunming began to make a living everywhere, as long as there is work, no matter how tired he will go, so he also accumulated a lot of savings, in 1996, when the two sons were ready to start a family, Sun Shunming took out all his savings.
Sun Shunming's legs and feet were not good because he was injured on the battlefield, coupled with the hard work and age after that, his legs and feet were even more inconvenient, and his work was even more difficult.
Picture | Sun Shunming's hometown
However, it was this person who had worked hard all his life that should have enjoyed happiness when he was old, but he was hit hard by reality, because Sun Shunming had no ability to work, and the two daughters-in-law drove the old man who was "enjoying Qingfu" at home out of the house, and Sun Shunming's life in the family was not good, which directly drove the old man out of the house.
At this time, the two sons were not at home, this scene outsiders looked very angry, and it was useless to theorize with the two daughters-in-law, so the villagers contacted the two sons of the elderly Sun Shunming, but what was even more infuriating was that
But these two sons ignored Sun Shunming, saying that they could not be the lord, so the two sons looked at their father's suffering coldly.
The villagers did not look at it, so they could only help the old man within their own ability, but Sun Shunming was unwilling to accept help from others in vain, so he would often drag his sick body to work for others.
Although the villagers could not persuade them no matter how much they tried, he often told the villagers the most:
"I can't accept your kindness in vain, let me do some work, so that I can be worthy of the food you give." As the days passed, Sun Shunming's body relapsed due to overwork, and he could only lie in bed to recuperate, and his life had been forced to a desperate situation, but he still did not reveal his identity.

After Sun Shunming retired from the army a few years later, China's economy gradually improved, for the original anti-war heroes will be given subsidies and preferential treatment, but the organization has been looking for combat heroes, Sun Shunming is also included, but in the search for Sun Shunming when the organization fell into a very confused situation, when he joined the army, the information reported when he joined the army was wrong, the name was written in the wrong word, the address was not correct, and has never heard of this Sun Shunming, so the process of finding him is still very difficult.
This kind of mistake was not uncommon at all in that era, if it were placed now, it would naturally not happen, at that time the army building was relatively fast, coupled with the fact that Sun Shunming had dug up the project at the beginning, and there were five years of blank service, that is, state secrets, so the search for Sun Shunming has been delayed.
Treat heroes well
Until 2020, when the government staff checked the local personnel information, they suddenly found that there was a veteran in the local area, but they had never heard of this person, so the local government began to go to Sun Shunming's village to inquire, and under the understanding of the villagers, they learned that Sun Shunming had been a soldier, but the meritorious veteran had never heard of it.
The | staff came to greet him
When the relevant personnel came to the place where Sun Shunming lived, they couldn't help but feel sad when they looked at the miserable and simple life, and then determined that Sun Shunming was the combat hero of that year, and the local government immediately came to visit Sun Shunming.
Only then did he take down the three military merit badges placed on the beams of the house and the service certificates and meritorious service certificates of that year, although they had been in ashes for decades, but these were all his witnesses.
And after learning from the villagers about the suffering of the elderly Sun Shunming, they expressed great sympathy, and the eyes of the staff could not help but moisten, and they said to the elderly Sun Shunming:
"You are a person with meritorious service to the country, the country will not treat people with meritorious service, no one cares about you, we manage you, and now that the motherland has developed well, it is inseparable from the veterans who have fought for the motherland like you!"

The old age of the former first-class meritorious hero of the country is now so miserable, and then the staff quickly asked the leader for instructions, and gave the old man 300,000 yuan in cash, and gave the old man a subsidy of 2,000 yuan every month.
When the government gave this money to the elderly Sun Shunming, and informed the elderly that the organization had been looking for his whereabouts,
Sun Shunming old man cried on the spot, the original organization has not forgotten himself, life has finally had expectations, Sun Shunming has been selfless dedication and helpful all his life, but when things happen to him, he will grit his teeth and insist, and there is no excessive reprimand for his daughter-in-law to drive out of the house Sun Shunming, nor too many complaints about life, because in his eyes, life after retirement is a fluke.
Being driven out of the house by two daughters-in-law seemed to him to be forgivable, but at the moment when he found himself organizationally, the defense line in his heart completely collapsed, and he finally couldn't stop in front of everyone, he had left blood on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and it had been many years since then, and the country had spent a lot of effort to find his whereabouts.
Pictured| the elderly living in a broken house
Sun Shunming held the hands of the staff, the tears in his eyes have been sliding down, the villagers looked very moved, the old man who originally got along with the villagers day and night was a fighting hero of the Indian self-defense war, and after the two sons and daughters-in-law learned of this matter, they were also very remorseful, and they could not look up in the village, the government staff gave them profound education, and reprimanded Sun Shunming's two sons, and the four of them ostensibly promised to take good care of the old man Sun Shunming, and it was obvious that it was only for the money in the hands of the old man.
But the old man Sun Shunming directly refused 300,000 yuan in cash, saying that he was old, it was useless to take this money, and he was also cold to the attitude of the two sons, helping the two to start a family was already considered dedicated, and the attitude of the two Even so, Sun Shunming did not have to care about his future life, but under the constant persuasion of the staff, the money was still retained.
Sun Shunming has no way to deal with this heavy money, so he handed over all the money to the village and shirked it
The village only received 200,000 yuan, the remaining 100,000 as their own pension, do not leave half a point for their son, and are not willing to return home, at the same time, the government also obtained the consent of the elderly Sun Shunming and sent him to a nursing home.
In this way, the old man's health has gradually improved, and his life in his later years will no longer be disliked by his family.
Old man Tusun Shunming
Sun Shunming's life is very difficult, since he was a child, his parents died, in order to be able to survive by relying on the supply of villagers, it is precisely because of this that he has a kind heart, after joining the army, he also risked losing his life first, after retiring from the army, he married his wife and had children, worked hard for his two sons, and when he was old, he had a better life, but he was abused by his family.
Looking at the life of the elderly who were thrown out of their homes, how many people left tears of heartache, but the old age of the country's first-class meritorious heroes is like this.
Sun Shunming is a poor hero, his deeds were not made public until many years later, even so the country will not forget that there is such a hero, no matter how bad the parents are, as children should not ignore it, children have the obligation to support their parents.
