Recently, when the Veterans Affairs Bureau of Suning County, Hebei Province excavated the remains of anti-Japanese martyrs, it made a startling discovery - a martyr held a photo of a woman tightly and was placed on his chest. This discovery has aroused netizens' attention to the martyrs' search for their relatives.
According to historical records, in May 1942, the invading Japanese army launched a brutal sweep of the Jizhong region of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Division of Jizhong became the focus of the enemy's "sweeping" assault.
On June 8 of the same year, the invading Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Snow Village, where the Eighth Route Army is located in Suning County, and the soldiers rose up to break through, but because they were outnumbered, more than 1,000 commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army died heroically, which was known as the "Snow Village Breakout Battle" in history.
The local people secretly buried the bodies of the martyrs in one place, and it became the "Snow Village Battle Martyrs' Tomb".
In the early years, this martyr's tomb was only an earthen tomb, which was maintained by the local people on their own initiative.
Later, the civil affairs department repaired on the basis of the original cemetery and erected a stone tablet in front of the tomb, engraved with the words "anti-Japanese martyrs are immortal" for people to mourn.
In April this year, the Suning County Veterans Affairs Bureau planned to move the martyr's tomb to the Suning Martyrs Cemetery, and during the excavation, this photo was discovered.
After this photo was restored, the woman on it was dignified and beautiful, which was moving.
Some netizens posted a number of updates on social platforms, saying that the woman in the photo is her father's second aunt, and the martyr is her father's uncle, and the basic information of the martyr is basically the same as that of the uncle whose father lost contact, and took 6 copper coins from home when he left home.
After seeing the restored photos, my father actively contacted the relevant departments, hoping to confirm the identity of the martyr as soon as possible.
The netizen also said that his father's fourth aunt is still alive and is 97 years old this year, but due to her advanced age, she can't recognize people anymore.
"I hope you don't have a rhythm, and everything will wait for the results of the appraisal to come out. The netizen replied to the netizen.
However, the staff said that the copper plate clues do not represent anything, and the final results of the DNA alignment shall prevail. At present, more than 20 people have been contacted and registered through various channels, and the search for the relatives of the martyrs continues.
(*Looking at the photo in his hand, Wang Yalun's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.) The woman in the photo is young and beautiful, with clear eyes, as if she is telling something. He could not help but think of the martyrs who shed their heads and blood for the sake of the country and the people, and who defended the dignity and territorial integrity of the motherland with their lives. Today, we should doubly cherish this hard-won peaceful environment, work hard, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. *）
The staff of the Propaganda Department of the Suning County Party Committee said that more than 20 people have recently contacted and registered the information on the search for the relatives of the unknown martyr through various channels, and the relevant departments have done a good job in information registration. At present, the DNA extraction of the remains of the martyrs has been completed, and after the results are available, the relevant departments will publish the contact information, and those who need to find their relatives can contact them for DNA comparison, and the final results of the martyrs' search for relatives shall be subject to the results of DNA comparison.
TR Art Studio tried to analyze the features of the original photograph and restored several versions in groups, and then summarized and fused them to determine the final effect.
Seeing the progress of the martyrs' search for their relatives continue to advance, I am relieved and curious:
Can you find someone with a photo?
