My name is Cao Jinrong, I am 62 years old and a retired teacher from Xi'an. I was looking for an uncle of the People's Liberation Army who had a particularly great influence on me, his name was Wang Rukui.
In 1960, I came to Luoyang, Shaanxi Province with my father. Because my parents were both military veterans, I grew up with a sense of trust in the military.
I met Uncle Wang when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, when a geological exploration team came near my home, and they lived behind our house.
I remember one day on the way to school, I heard my classmates say that these military uncles were from Beijing to do measurements, and I was full of curiosity about them, and after school, I ran to their dormitory with my classmates to see.

On the first day of going to see it, everyone did not dare to go in.
After an uncle of the People's Liberation Army saw it, he beckoned his classmates to go in and chat with us, and I still remember that everyone was embarrassed at that time, you pushed me, I pushed you, the uncle said don't be shy, we all rushed into my uncle's dormitory.
At that time, I learned that the name of this uncle of the People's Liberation Army was Wang Rukui, and since that day, a group of our children came home from school and finished eating and ran to play with Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang told us that Beijing is beautiful, and he also told us what a television set is. At that time, we listened to what he said and felt that it was far away from us, and it was also very magical. So we all especially like to play with him.
What I remember most clearly is that Uncle Wang took us to sing "Learning from Lei Feng's Good Example".

Once when I came home, I told my father that Uncle Wang of the survey team behind him was from Hebei, and as soon as my father heard that he was a fellow countryman, he invited Uncle Wang to come to his house for dinner.
That day, my parents specially wrapped dumplings, because my father and Uncle Wang were both soldiers, and they had a special conversation, and my father said to Uncle Wang: "In the future, you will often come to the house to play, and you are welcome at any time." ”
But soon after, when my uncle returned to Beijing after finishing his work, Uncle Wang said to me before leaving: "The next time my uncle comes from Beijing to bring you books, you have to go to school well, the outside world is very big, you must go out to see." ”
Almost a year later, Uncle Wang came, he did not even put down the backpack, directly came to my house, he took out more than ten books for me, said to me: "You must study well, with knowledge to change your destiny." ”
Later, after my uncle returned to Beijing, we exchanged several letters, each of which my parents read with me, and my mother often told me that my uncle's handwriting was very good, and if I wanted to follow Uncle Wang's example, I must study it well.
The most my uncle said to me in his letter was: Never give up reading and studying. I told my uncle, "I won't let you down, I want to be a teacher in the future." ”
After graduating from junior high school, many of my classmates went to work in other places, but I insisted on going to school and never wavered, and the only idea in my heart was to study well and not let my uncle down.
After hard work, I was successfully admitted to the normal school and became a people's teacher after graduation.
Later, because of the change in the house, I lost contact with Uncle Wang, but every time I saw the childish faces of my classmates, I would remember what Uncle Wang said: "Read well and change your fate with knowledge." ”
Now, I have lost contact with Uncle Wang for 60 years, I want to find Uncle Wang, report to him, I have not failed him, I have become an honorable teacher.
