In 1938, after 19-year-old Zhou Lidong joined the army, he did not receive a military uniform or a gun, and a veteran said to him: "If you want a gun, go to the battlefield and grab it." The worn-out guns of the independent regiment were all made in Hanyang, and nine out of ten were not allowed. ”
When Zhou Lidong heard this, he was not intimidated at all. On the contrary, he was very brave in order to get a gun.
On the battlefield, he fought the Japanese with his bare hands, stoned the Japanese to death, and robbed him of his gun.
In 1940, he was also awarded a third-class meritorious service for killing two Japanese soldiers and handing over a batch of materials.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhou Lidong applied for retirement and returned to his hometown due to poor health.
In 2005 and 2015, this anti-Japanese veteran hero won the commemorative medals of the 60th and 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War issued by the state!
