Public Network poster news reporter Wang Yancai Liang Hongguo trainee reporter Feng Mengdi Linyi reported
Xin Qianhai told his niece the story behind the military merit badge
Inheriting the red gene and condensing the strength of endeavor, the public network Linyi Station Bayi specially planned "there is a soldier in the family". On the morning of July 28, the reporter of the public network poster met with 92-year-old veteran Xin Qianhai and his daughter and niece at the Linyi Tianyuan Family Hospital, and listened to them talk about the revolutionary feelings of the old man.
"My grandfather is a veteran soldier, under his influence, my four uncles and my mother have also become soldiers, and there is such a veteran soldier who once fought for the motherland in our big family, and there is such a veteran party member who has more than 70 years of party experience, I think this is a very glorious thing, and without bragging, this matter can make me proud for a lifetime!" Xin Qianhai's niece Zhao Zhao said.
According to Zhao Zhao, Grandpa Xin Qianhai joined the army on June 15, 1947, and began to devote himself to revolutionary battles with the troops of the second battalion and four companies of the 75th Regiment of the 25th Division of the Ninth Column in East China. During his military service, he participated in the Battle of Menglianggu, commanded the battle as a squad leader in the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Crossing the River, and the Second Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and served as a platoon commander in the Fifth Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. "When Grandpa joined the army, he was only 20 years old, and he was still a child, and in that year, he was a new young man full of enthusiasm, and he participated in countless battles large and small!"
Among the many battles he participated in, Xin Qianhai was most impressed and memorable by the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but he rarely mentioned it to his family, because it was a "scar" in his heart and an experience he would never recall.
"I prefer to watch war movies, before my father saw me watch war movies and got up to the side and didn't want to watch them, I felt strange, so I asked him why, he said that as soon as he saw it, he would think of the war years he experienced, think of his comrades who died, and feel uncomfortable." Xin Qianhai's second daughter, Xin Mei, said.
Although he rarely watched war movies, with the broadcast of the TV series "Across the Yalu River", Xin Qianhai began to watch the drama over and over again, perhaps this drama resonated with him. He often told his children that the TV series was well filmed, but the real war scenes at that time were far more tragic than in the TV series.
"The first time I watched the TV series "Crossing the Yalu River", I watched it with tears in my eyes, and while watching it, I thought, my father's life is not easy." The youngest daughter Xin Hong told the public network poster news reporter that there is a scene in the TV series, that is, when her father's unit entered North Korea, before getting on the train, the soldiers who came to bid farewell took off their hats and cotton clothes directly and threw them to them, because when they entered North Korea, they basically wore single clothes and single pants, and they did not expect to catch the lowest temperature in North Korea in thirty years, more than 40 degrees below zero, and they were ambushed in the ice and snow for a day and a night, and many people froze and even froze to death.
"I remember that my father's ankles were always unfavorable, blue, sometimes trembling, and walking was not very easy, and later I learned that it was the root cause of frostbite left by the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea!" Xin Hong said.

At Xin Qianhai's home, the poster reporters of the mass network also saw various honorary medals such as the well-preserved commemorative medal of the Huaihai Campaign, the commemorative medal of the Battle of Crossing the River, the medal of the People's Liberation Army, and the Peace Medal of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Because his grandfather's home is close to the school, Zhao Zhao has often gone to his grandfather's house to "rub lunch" since he was a child. "At that time, grandpa would often take out military merit badges to show me, and at that time I felt that military merit badges had never been seen before, very fresh, did not understand the meaning of them, as I grew older, I slowly learned that behind each military merit badge may be a history of blood and tears, which is not easy."
Idle nothing, Zhao Zhao will often look at the old photos of her grandfather, uncle and mother, most of them are dressed in military uniforms and heroic, which makes her particularly envious, so from childhood she has a dream of becoming a soldier, hoping that she can also become a soldier, but due to a variety of reasons failed to achieve her wishes, now Zhao Zhao has become a high school music teacher, in an ordinary post, inheriting red genes, always maintain the original intention of educating people.
"Under the influence of my grandfather, in the future, whether in work or life, I will strictly demand myself and pass on this revolutionary spirit of the older generation from generation to generation." It's an honor to have such a veteran in my family! Zhao Zhao said.
