May 12, 2008

A magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck Wenchuan, Sichuan

Mountains and rivers shook, and the world collapsed

That retrograde green

Guard life with life

Bring light and comfort to those who have suffered from great disasters

14 years have passed

Those who have been guarded by green

Slowly they also changed into their appearance

……

When he grows up, he can wear a military uniform like his uncle "Iron Army"

That year, Zeng Jiafu's hometown of Dujiangyan was severely damaged

At that time, he was 9 years old in a makeshift board room

That day, he met Li Hongzheng, a military doctor who came to the rescue

Look at the little Zeng Jiafu

Li Hongzheng's eyes were full of pity and love

Often hold his little hand and chat together

Encourage him to be strong and study hard

And gave him a notebook and a watercolor pen

Spent a dangerous and difficult time with him

When I grew up, I became you

Childhood rich family and disaster-stricken children

Like to call Li Hongzheng and his comrades-in-arms "Uncle Iron Army"

Because the place where they lived at that time was called "Iron Army Road."

"Uncle Iron Army" Li Hongzheng did not know

An act of kindness of the year

Planted in the heart of a child

A seed determined to serve the country

Zeng Jiafu looked forward to it

One day in the future

You can also become a person like "Uncle Iron Army"

Wear a military uniform and defend your country

When I grew up, I became you

In 2008, Li Hongzheng gave 9-year-old Zeng Jiafu a precious notebook, which Zeng Jiafu has been carrying with him for more than a decade.

When I grew up, I became you

When he was a child, Zeng Jiafu used a watercolor pen sent by "Uncle Tiejun" to learn Li Hongzheng to write in that precious notebook.

In 2021, Zeng Jiafu came to the army as he wished

The light bag contained his most important items—

The notebook given by uncle "Iron Army" that year

He always wanted to have a chance

See uncle "Iron Army" again

Let him see if he's put it on too

Proud military uniform

When I grew up, I became you

June 11, 2021

It was an unforgettable day in Zeng Jiafu's life

On this day, he was awarded the rank of private

More importantly

He reunites with the "Uncle Iron Army" who is thinking about it.

The scene of the award ceremony

When the host read out Zeng Jiafu's name

He stood up with tears on his face

Shout "To" in a crisp voice

He stepped on stage

Li Hongzheng saved the child that year

Wear the rank of a private with your own hands

When I grew up, I became you

Now, Zeng Jiafu and Li Hongzheng

Become comrades in arms

"When I grow up, I'll be you"

Hats off to the cutest people!

Grow up I became an airborne soldier

Wenchuan earthquake relief in 2008

Airborne troops armed with the red flag of the "Huang Jiguang Hero Company" arrived

Helping people affected by disasters to rebuild their homes

Relief is over

Farewell to the crowd of rescue troops

Cheng Qiang, 12, held up a banner and made a vow

"Grow up as an airborne soldier"

When I grew up, I became you

Cheng Qiang, a 12-year-old teenager, held aloft a banner that read, "Grow up as an airborne soldier."

Growing up, he not only became an airborne soldier

He became the 38th class leader of the "Huang Jiguang Class"

In 2019, as the inheritor of the heroic spirit

Cheng Qiang became a member of the Air Force's foot team

Do not fear the scorching sun to train elite soldiers

Fearlessly scarred to challenge the limits

Pursue the ultimate in the meter seconds

Walk up with your head held high

A military parade ground to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China

When I grew up, I became you

"Growing up, I really became you"

——In the self-statement written by Cheng Qiang

This is how he summed up his years of mental journey

Now he has finally achieved his dream

He became a comrade-in-arms with the airborne hero who had rescued him

He became a comrade-in-arms with Huang Jiguang's old squad leader

Give me a chance to repay the kindness of the year

14 years ago, wenchuan earthquake

Liu Jia's middle school was badly damaged

Traffic is blocked and communication is interrupted

She and her classmates were helpless

Spend the most memorable day and night of your life

Finally looking forward to the rescue of the People's Liberation Army

When I grew up, I became you

Liu Jia recalled:

"There was nothing to eat at that time and it was cold

I remember it very clearly

The People's Liberation Army is coming

Pitched us a tent on the playground

Bring the food

Reassure us

'It's all right, don't be afraid!' ’

Until now I think about it

I felt particularly warm

I take this kindness to heart

I thought about what I could do in the future

What careers do to help others."

When I grew up, I became you

With this heart of gratitude

It's something I've always wanted to do

Give me a chance

Let me repay the kindness of the year! ”
