"Surname Su, pay back!" On October 15, 2019, in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Su Guozhang, a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression who was about to celebrate his 100th birthday, suddenly heard his door being slammed continuously.
The old man was very frightened at that time, hiding behind the door and listening to all kinds of insults and threatening words coming from outside, not to mention opening the door, not even daring to make a sound in the atmosphere.
For a long time, until there was no sound outside the door, the old man dared to slowly put his eyes on the cat's eyes to confirm whether the person at the door was gone.
When this group of debt collectors returned home, the old man took out his mobile phone and just wanted to ask his son Su Yong what happened, but he received countless calls to collect debts.
The other end of the phone was invariably urging Su Yong to pay back the money, and Su Guozhang knew that his son had been secretly taking out online loans and had already owed hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Su Yong went out early this morning, su Guozhang wanted to quickly contact his son and ask what was happening, but found that his son's phone could not be called. Su Yong owes money and is missing!
How could the son of a veteran of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression be such a virtue? How on earth did he end up in so much debt?
Join the army and serve the country, and fight in blood
China in the first half of the last century had a tragic history, and this is also a tragic lesson that every Chinese will not forget. As a result of the invasion of the great powers, China was devastated everywhere, and the flames of war ignited this land and ignited the hearts of the people.
In the autumn of 1921, the Su family in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, with the cry of a baby, Su Guozhang fell to the ground.
In addition to Su Guozhang, the Su family also has six brothers and sisters, and the family is engaged in the business of dyeing paper, and the family foundation is quite solid.
Children read, adults worked, and originally they were harmonious and beautiful families, but with the arrival of the Japanese army, all their happiness suddenly disappeared.
One day in 1938, late at night, the Su family was preparing to go to bed, when the deafening explosion suddenly sounded everywhere.
It turned out that the Japanese army had bombed the sky over Chengdu that night and was wantonly killing the Chinese people.
Su Guozhang was awakened and fled outside with his family.
Su Guozhang once said, "I hate the Japanese army that invaded China, and I hate them for destroying my homeland." If it weren't for them, my house wouldn't have been bombed, my parents wouldn't have died of illness, and my siblings wouldn't have been separated. ”
In this way, like the three brothers, Su Guozhang also chose to join the army, wearing straw shoes and a group of young people from Chengdu to Chongqing.
After participating in the recruit training, Su Guozhang was assigned to the 99th Army Supplementary Regiment, where he trained and was ready for the next battle.
The battle became more and more fierce, and Su Guozhang also followed the army from Chongqing to the south non-stop, and finally reached Jiangxi.
At that time, Jiangxi had not yet been eroded by the war, but the Japanese army would soon arrive here.
After a period of stationing in Jiangxi, fierce fighting broke out in Hengyang, Hunan, and the 10th Army was struggling to resist enemy artillery fire.
The once bustling city is now devastated by war, and the Japanese army is surrounded by Hengyang, and reinforcements from the army are urgently needed.
Su Guozhang's unit quickly heard the news and rushed to Hengyang overnight.
However, they failed to break through the Japanese siege and were stopped by the Japanese.
Every day there are comrades who die, every day there are new people going to the front, and war is so cruel.
"Everyone killed the red eye and fought with the devil." Su Guozhang said that their troops and the Japanese army once had a white-knife battle, and the two sides fought fiercely for a long time.
In this battle, Su Guozhang was also unfortunately stabbed by the Japanese army with a bayonet, his eyes were black, and he fainted in pain.
Fortunately, this knife did not hurt the point, and Su Guozhang survived.
However, when he woke up, he was already treated in the rear, and he also lost the opportunity to go to the battlefield and returned to Chongqing with many wounded.
Hanging pot Ji Shi, Shu Jing Qi Huang
In August 1945, with the surrender of Japan, the fierce Anti-Japanese War came to an end.
Although we have won the final victory, we have inevitably made many sacrifices, and the cities and towns have long been miasma by the continuous fighting.
On that day, the wounded Su Guozhang walked out the door with a cane and trembling, and every household was holding lights and celebrating the victory of the war.
The whole city cheered, but tears slid down Su Guozhang's cheeks. He had no home for a long time.
The eldest brother sacrificed in the Battle of Songhu, his parents went with the sacrifice of the eldest brother, and the third brother sacrificed in Shandong, and at this time Su Guozhang knew that the second brother had already died, and was on the battlefield of Hengyang with him.
Su Guozhang had mixed feelings, it turned out that the two brothers were on the same battlefield, but until the second brother was sacrificed, they had never seen each other.
Unexpectedly, since the war began and the brothers joined the army, this parting was a farewell. The war destroyed him all, and su Guozhang had nothing but this life.
Su Guozhang returned home once and returned to Chengdu, where he had been separated for a long time. The former Su family mansion has long been reduced to rubble, and the surrounding neighbors have long since moved away.
He wanted to go and see if the two sisters were still in Chengdu, but he went to their house and found it empty. Su Guozhang discovered a particularly terrible thing: not only did he have no home, but even all his relatives were no longer alive.
No more fighting, always have to learn a craft to support themselves, Su Guozhang learned acupuncture in Liangshan, from a soldier to a Chinese medicine doctor.
With the needle in his hand, Su Guozhang successfully supported himself, but he was only barely making ends meet, and his life was still very poor.
He also bought some books and began to study the doorway of Chinese medicine on his own. Before the outbreak of the war, Su Guozhang had read books in private schools, and he also recognized words, and whenever he read it, he could not help but lament the wisdom of the ancients, which is still very practical.
At that time, there were not many capable doctors, so Su Guozhang gained a lot of popularity in the county with his own craftsmanship. At the beginning, many people did not believe that it was not an ordinary needle, and people could cure the disease by being pricked by it?
However, as more and more patients were healed by Su Guozhang, the doubts in everyone's hearts were also solved, and more and more people came to seek medical treatment.
Because of the war, Su Guozhang became a "black household", once all the household registration information could not be found, and his relatives were no longer alive, he had no way to prove his identity.
No one can turn to, no one can talk to, no one even knows who he is, Su Guozhang lives a lonely life, has long been discouraged, and does not expect to be able to rely on his current meager income to marry and have children and start a family.
Old and old, willow dark flowers bright
Originally thought that this life was so muddy, perhaps Su Guozhang himself did not expect that there was still a day to run.
In 1980, Su Guozhang, who was alone, came to Yibin, Sichuan, stayed there, and continued to rely on acupuncture to survive.
I wasn't rich, but I was able to get by until one day good luck found the door.
Once, Su Guozhang passed by the door of a family and heard a child inside shouting that his stomach hurt, so he knocked on the door and said that he could try to help heal.
It turned out that the family's children had been suffering from stomach pain for no reason, and they had seen many doctors, but they had not gotten better.
But under the acupuncture of Su Guozhang, this child's illness was actually so good. The family gave him a pennant, and his name grew.
Slowly, more and more people came to see him, and he also saved money with acupuncture and opened a small medical center.
In 1983, a female patient named Hu Peishi came to treat her leg, and by chance, the two met, knew each other, and finally fell in love, walked together, and finally moved to Deyang together.
What surprised Su Guozhang even more was that when he was 61 years old, Hu Peishi bore him a child. At such a high age, Su Guozhang is very happy.
After the child was born, Su Guozhang also loved him very much, and even became doting.
Under the leadership of Su Guozhang, his son Su Yong also learned acupuncture, and Su Guozhang hoped that he could inherit his father's business and inherit his mantle.
But at this time, Su Yong said that he was going to go out of town, and although Su Guozhang did not agree, he finally chose to respect his son's idea, after all, young people always like to go out and run.
Until 2012, by chance, the media reported the deeds of Su Guozhang, and everyone knew that he was a veteran of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and had a period of glory.
Therefore, with the help of the media, Su Guozhang, who is 92 years old, finally has an IDENTITY card and a marriage certificate, and is no longer a "black household".
Debts are high and disasters are flying in
In 2016, Su Yong, who had been away from home for ten years, suddenly returned to Deyang and met his father Su Guozhang, who had been separated for a long time.
What made Su Guozhang happiest was that Su Yong said that he would take him back to Chengdu and stay in Chengdu after that.
Thinking of returning to his hometown to live, Su Guozhang was very happy, and immediately sold a house in Deyang, and transferred the 860,000 yuan obtained from the sale to Su Yong's account to buy a house for Su Yong.
Although Su Guozhang was old, he could not let go of his acupuncture skills, so he opened a small clinic there, focusing on acupuncture.
Usually, all the affairs of the clinic are entrusted to Su Yong, who is mainly responsible for sitting in the clinic, and Su Yong also listens to his father's words and runs the clinic in full swing.
In 2018, Su Yong married his girlfriend XiaoLe and took Su Guozhang to live in a new house in Wenjiang District.
And the son Su Yong is also very filial to Su Guozhang, accompanying his father to drink tea and watch dramas, walking and walking, and the feelings of father and son are very good.
Everyone said that Su Guozhang finally came to the bitter end, suffered so much in the first half of his life, and finally exchanged for the happy life he has now.
Su Guozhang himself also thinks so, he is old, and his son has also established a family, the family lives together, harmonious and happy, he can also enjoy the blessings and live in peace in his old age.
The happiness that belonged to him finally came, and he gave all his savings to his son without hesitation, including 480,000 yuan that he was going to take for the elderly.
Now, his greatest wish is to be able to hold his grandson in his lifetime, so that his life will be complete.
Su Yong also promised his father to fulfill his father's wish as soon as possible, and he also cared for his father in every way, worrying all day about whether he had eaten well and drunk well.
As a hundred-year-old man, Su Guozhang knew that time was running out, but the happiness at the moment had made him feel enough. He also thought that he still had a bank card, which contained his own subsidy of 800 yuan per month, so he gave the card number and password to Su Yong.
After all, money is not brought by life, death is not brought, and sooner or later it must be left to the child. But Su Guozhang never dreamed that his son would owe hundreds of thousands of online loans.
It was October 15, 2019, and Su Guozhang was summoned to the door to collect debts, and he also contacted his son confusedly.
But the son has not been home after work, Xiaole sent WeChat to Su Yong, the other party did not reply, the phone called the other end of the phone is a reminder to shut down.
A friend of Su Yong came to the door, took Su Yong's real estate certificate, and came to owe him 40,000 yuan.
Xiao Le and Su Guozhang looked dumbfounded, hasn't the real estate deed always been in their own home? At this time, they rummaged through at home to find that the original family was a fake certificate, and the real estate certificate had long been taken by Su Yong to pay off the debt!
Su Guozhang did not know how to be good, Xiao Le calmed down, and recorded the amount of money owed one by one, adding up to hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, not only did he find someone to borrow money, Su Yong also borrowed 280,000 yuan on more than 10 online borrowing platforms, and all the loans were written on the 15th, that is, today's repayment.
Therefore, today Su Yong will evaporate from the human world, and he can't find him.
What made Su Guozhang most angry was that Su Yong actually made up a lie, saying that his mother was critically ill and did not want his father and wife to worry, so he came to an elderly patient to borrow money, saying that he would pay it back when he paid his salary on the 15th, but now he is not in the shadows.
But why did Su Yong owe so much money, and what was it used for?
Xiao Le said that before Su Yong said that one of his friends' father was seriously ill, asked him to borrow 600,000 yuan, at that time Xiao Le was still thinking that Su Yong was so righteous, and now he felt that things were not so simple.
Whether this money is used for gambling or what to do, only Su Yong himself knows, and all this needs to wait until the police find Su Yong to find out.
After Su Yong disappeared, his wife had inquired about him at about 11:00 a.m. on the 15th, and had taken a taxi from his place of work to Wuguiqiao Station, and had also asked a friend to inquire that Su Yong had purchased a bus ticket to Neijiang on the same day;
Later, it was learned that Su Yong had accommodation records in Weiyuan and Guangxi on the 15th and 17th. But after that, Su Yong disappeared into the sea of people.
Today, Su Guozhang is mainly cared for by volunteers, and October 27, 2021, is Su Guozhang's imaginary birthday of 100 years old, and volunteers have specially celebrated for him.
The volunteers also raised some money, but not to help Su Yong repay the loan, but for the elderly to live.
The centenarian never dreamed that his son would owe so much money, and he still hasn't been able to wait for his son to come back and give him an answer.
