Li Qingshun is 89 years old this year, he has a tough body, a clear mind, and a healthy and regular life. In the early morning of February 8, 2022, he was sitting by the window as usual and basking in the sun, when he suddenly received a call from his daughter: "Daddy! Your old comrade-in-arms Hou Zongguo is looking for you! Do you remember him? ”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshun suddenly became excited, "Hou Zongguo was a soldier I brought when I was young, and I will never forget anything!" Li Qingshun heard that Hou Zongguo had obtained his contact information, so he simply did nothing, so he waited for him to call himself on his mobile phone.
Hou Zongguo is also 81 years old, and when he was young, the old captain Li Qingshun always remembered his care for himself. In order to find Li Qingshun, he commissioned a toutiao to find people a few years ago to release the search information.
Unexpectedly, just after the End of the Year, he received a call from Li Qingshun's granddaughter, saying that he had seen the search information on today's headlines. Hou Zongguo was very excited, wrote down Li Qingshun's phone, and immediately called, "At that time, my heart was beating fast, half a century, and I don't know how the old captain is doing now, do you remember me!" ”
"I am a witness to his growth"
Li Qingshun joined the army as a volunteer in 1954 and entered the Air Force. In 1960, Hou Zongguo also entered the Sixth Air Division, in the same unit as Li Qingshun. "At that time, I was his squad leader, and I was very optimistic about him at that time!" Mentioning Hou Zongguo, Li Qingshun looked proud. Li Qingshun joined the army early and was also the leader of the detachment, so he paid special attention to these young "small soldiers" in the army.
Among these recruits, he was particularly impressed by Hou Zongguo. "Comrade Hou Zongguo is honest and enterprising in his work, and I am particularly satisfied with him." Li Qingshun said that because they are responsible for the repair and maintenance of the aircraft, the soldiers are required to be particularly careful. In his eyes, Hou Zongguo is very in line with his requirements, "I am very strict with them at work, Hou Zongguo has never complained a little, and always follows me very seriously to learn technology." When he encounters places he doesn't understand, he can study for half a day, and he has a spirit of hard work! ”
Li Qingshun
Li Qingshun said and laughed, "Speaking of which, I can also witness his growth!" "Hou Zongguo's technology has progressed, and he has also pursued ideological progress. He often went to Li Qingshun to discuss some current political issues, and some of his views impressed Li Qingshun. Soon, Li Qingshun, as Hou Zongguo's introduction to the party, helped Hou Zongguo join the party.
"He grew up very fast, both technically and ideologically, from a recruit who didn't know anything, to being able to take up a maintenance project on his own, I saw it in my eyes and felt very pleased." Li Qingshun said.
"Patron saint of sleep"
In the eyes of Hou Zongguo, Li Qingshun is a perfect person, "He is easy-going and cheerful, has strong professional ability, and has a high political literacy!" As a Native of Sichuan, Hou Zongguo came to the northeast with the army as soon as he joined the army, and later moved to Gansu. Being far away from his homeland made the young him feel very uncomfortable, and it was captain Li Qingshun's care that made him feel the warmth of home.
Half a century later, Hou Zongguo can still remember the details of his time with the captain, "At night, he would come to the soldier's dormitory to 'check the room', in fact, he was afraid that we would not sleep well to help us tuck the quilt." Hou Zongguo remembered that in the summer, he was afraid that the soldiers would be bitten by mosquitoes, and Li Qingshun would also help the soldiers sort out mosquito nets. Li Qingshun is like a "guardian spirit" at night, guarding everyone's peaceful sleep.
Hou Zongguo
Whenever Hou Zongguo had something on his mind, he was also willing to talk to Li Qingshun. Every time Li Qingshun would patiently dismiss him, give him guidance and help.
"I used to be young, and I didn't expect to be separated so quickly. At that time, I didn't even leave a mailing address, which makes me regret it to this day! Hou Zongguo was later transferred to Shaanxi to do secrecy work, and he lost contact with Li Qingshun.
"His photographs he treasured for half a century"
Hou Zongguo and Li Qingshun each received a video call with excitement. The call took almost an hour. Now both of them are in very good health, Li Qingshun is already the same as the fourth generation, and the family is harmonious, "Speaking of which, our family has all served as soldiers, I have three sons who have served in the navy, army and air force, and my grandson is now a soldier in the Rocket Army, which is also a military family!" Li Qingshun said.
Li Qingshun recently took a photo
Seeing that the old captain was happy and happy, Hou Zongguo was also very happy, "I remember that he had pleurisy when he was a soldier, and now he has been cured!" ”
Half a century has passed, both of them have gray hair, and the most mentioned thing when recalling the past together is touching and cherishing. "The only one in this world who can remember for a lifetime is the enemy, but the benefactor." Hou Zongguo can always remember me, so many years have not given up looking for me, this friendship I will never forget! Li Qingshun's voice trembled a little, "I am also satisfied to see that his children are filial piety and have a happy old age!" ”
Li Qingshun said that the photos of the soldiers himself were gone, and he did not expect that Hou Zongguo was still preserved, which made him very moved. He also extended an invitation to Hou Zongguo, hoping that he would have time to meet him in Luoyang.
"When the epidemic passes, if my body can, I must go to see my old captain Li Qingshun!" Hou Zongguo said.
