In early 2011, in the Civil Affairs Bureau of Pengjiang District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, an old man walked in, and the old man said that he had come to cash in the IOUs, so the old man took out a worn-out IOU. The IOU clearly reads:
Today, more than 60 catties of white rice from Hongwen Sister's house in Dajingtou Village will be compensated by the government department after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the future, and it will be doubled every year.
At the end of the payment, it reads that the third squadron of the Xinhe People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Group, signed by Li Zhaopei, is october 13, 1933 of the Republic of China.
So, where did the $3 trillion IOU come from? In the end, did the old man get compensation?

The old man's name is Liang Shiwei, from Guangdong, and although his family is in a difficult situation, the old man is an honest and responsible person. Once, when the old people in the same village were chatting, Liang Shiwei said that his ancestors had supported the anti-Japanese resistance. In order to prove that the old man took out an IOU from his home, the content was more than 60 kilograms of grain mentioned earlier, and after looking at it with his fellow villagers, he jokingly said: "You see that your life is so difficult now, it is better to take this IOU to the government to try your luck and see if you can cash it!" ”
However, the IOU is the document of the 33rd year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1944, 65 years have passed, and it says that there are 60 kilograms of white rice, and according to the annual doubling, today's more than 60 kilograms of white rice, according to the interest of doubling the year, 65 years at least 3900 kilograms of white rice, which is already quite expensive.

Elder Liang Shiwei felt that it was worth a try, so he took the IOU and went to the local civil affairs bureau. After a year of verification by the local government, this IOU is indeed true, but it has been so long that a reasonable compensation decision cannot be made. He gave the old man 20,000 yuan in the name of the reward. After the old man Liang Shiwei received the compensation, his heart was both happy and moved, and he returned home with gratitude. I was ready to take this money to renovate the dilapidated old house, but this renovation led to 3 trillion IOUs.
It turned out that in the process of repairing the roof, the old man found a rusty jewelry box, and the old man thought that the ancestral treasure was afraid of theft and deliberately hid it on the roof. And when the old man opened it, there was only one IOU inside, and the money was from the same person as the previous IOU, which read:
Today, he borrowed a total of 38 stones and 70 catties of white rice from Hongwen Sanjie in Dajingtou Village, in addition to 5,000 pieces of ocean, and even 8 gold bars, and promised to be repaid by the local government to pay two cents of interest.
This time, just two months after the last one, on December 29. However, the amount of the IOU this time is outrageous, and it is roughly estimated that the total amount of compensation for the elderly with profits is 3 trillion yuan.
Dating back decades ago, it was discovered that the ancestors of the elderly Liang Shiwei were local wealthy merchants. His father's name was Liang Hongwen, and he struggled overseas for many years in his early years. After returning to China, he relied on years of accumulation abroad to set up a master's business, and after the establishment of the business, his father married the sixth aunt, and Liang Shiwei was born to the sixth aunt. Soon after Liang Shiwei was born, he passed on to the third aunt, and the IOU mentioned this third aunt, that is, the third sister of Hongwen.

Hongwen Third Sister has extraordinary courage and brains, is a strong woman, since marrying into the Liang family, dedicated to help take care of the family business, won the trust of the Liang family's grandfather.
In 1941, after the death of Mr. Liang, Hongwen Sanjie officially took over the family business, and everything in the family had to be agreed by Hongwen Sanjie, but at that time, Japanese thieves invaded the mainland, burning and looting. Third Sister Hongwen was a patriot who hated the behavior of the Japanese Kou very much, but fortunately, there were our well-disciplined Eighth Route Army troops stationed in the local area, and the little devils did not dare to be too arrogant.
As everyone knows, the Eighth Route Army has never taken a needle or a thread from the masses, so it is deeply loved by the people. Although Third Sister Hongwen could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, as long as she could help the Eighth Route Army, she never shirked. The third sister of Hongwen can be said to have poured out her family property, and often donated money and grain to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to support the anti-Japanese action.

Therefore, every time the guerrilla leader Li Zhaopei accepted the help of Hongwen Third Sister, he would personally write down an IOU, but Hongwen Third Sister did not care much, as long as he could drive the little devil out of China, what was this? This fish-water relationship between the guerrillas and the Liang family is a good story.
It was precisely because of the disciplined PLA troops and the Liang family, who silently contributed to the War of Resistance, that the mainland was able to win victory. But then again, this IOU not only carries the water conditions of military and civilian fish, but also a hot potato. If this IOU is discovered by the little devil, then the Liang family will definitely be destroyed. After some consideration, Hongwen Sanjie decided to hide these IOUs on the roof of her house, and suppressed the IOU and did not make a noise.

After the founding of New China, Hongwen Sanjie forgot about this matter, but unfortunately. During the ten years of turmoil, a huge outbreak broke out in the country to fight local tycoons and fight landlords, and large households like the Liang family fell into it. Although the third sister of Hongwen went all out to resist the Japanese and made immeasurable contributions, she was still pulled to criticize the fight.
At that time, her health was not good, how could she withstand such torture? Not long after, Hongwen's third sister died unjustly, and the Liang family's family situation also plummeted. When the Yang Municipal Party Committee found this IOU, his own life was already quite difficult, but Liang Shiwei took this sky-high IOU and made a mistake for a while. After thinking about it again, he felt that even if this IOU could not be honored, it could at least be proved for Hongwen Sanjie, so he had to use it to find the government.

That's it. The old man Liang Shiwei stepped into the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau again, but this time it really frightened the staff, so he let the old man Liang Shiwei go home first, tossing and turning for several months, what to do with this IOU, there is still no result. In fact, the elderly Liang Shiwei himself is also very clear that the government is certainly unable to repay this huge amount of money, so he did not make a fool of himself, but said at the beginning that he just wanted some reasonable compensation.
In fact, this requirement is not excessive, after all, the contribution of Hongwen Third Sister is indeed very large, she herself died because of criticism, compensation should be in place, and honesty is the fine tradition of our country, not to mention that this is the foundation of my party-led team that has always insisted on standing, there is no compensation at all, how to think is not appropriate.
But in the face of Liang Shiwei's IOU, everyone has different opinions. Some people believe that this money can be paid back or symbolically less. After all, it is not a small amount.
