The story of Admiral Chen Shiyu is like a historical picture, showing the loyalty and loneliness of a soldier. During the war years, he shouldered heavy responsibilities, fearless of hardships and dangers, and wrote magnificent war songs with his wisdom and courage. However, as the years passed, he retired from the barracks, only to find himself in a silence that seemed to contrast with the glory of the past, both in life and emotion.
After retirement, Chen Shiyu may need more the companionship and understanding of his family. He gave too much in the army and neglected to care and love his family. The breakdown of his marriage and the estrangement between his children made his later life full of loneliness and helplessness. Perhaps, what the soldiers of those days longed for in their hearts was nothing more than an ordinary happy life.
However, even in his lonely old age, Chen Shiyu still maintained his love for work and life. Although he is not good at words, he uses practical actions to interpret his loyalty to the country and the army. After retirement, although his life is quiet, he still maintains his tenacity and perseverance, interpreting the extraordinary life with an ordinary life.
Perhaps, everyone's life will experience ups and downs, and the story of Admiral Chen Shiyu may be a microcosm. In the complex world, we might as well stop, care about the people around us, and cherish the happiness in front of us. Because only in each other's companionship and love can we find true happiness and satisfaction. I hope that the story of Admiral Chen Shiyu can arouse our attention to family and let us learn to understand the true meaning of life in the ordinary.
