On May 14, the retired military volunteer service team of Hekou Town, Wanyuan City, Sichuan Province, as usual, came to the home of the parents of the martyr Xiao Qilu and sent condolences to the old couple. Hearing the familiar voice, 98-year-old Xiao Daji put down the work in his hand, moved out of the bench with his wife, and beckoned everyone to sit down.
The veterans' volunteer service team visited the families of the martyrs, Xiao Daji and his wife
"You always have to take good care of your health, and if you encounter difficulties in life, you must tell us." The reporter learned that Xiao Qilu, the second son of the two old men, died heroically in the war to defend the motherland, and the Hekou Town Veterans Volunteer Service Team, composed of 15 retired soldiers, began to do their filial piety for the martyrs.
Over the past 45 years, every holiday and the birthday of the two elderly people, the volunteer service team has visited the elderly once and again to help them solve the practical difficulties in life. From door-to-door explanations of preferential treatment, medical assistance and other preferential policies, to the assistant agent to apply for preferential treatment certificates, to tidying up clothes, cleaning the courtyard, repairing electrical appliances and other family matters, the little companionship of the volunteer service team brought comfort to the two elderly people.

"Thank you to the party and the government for not forgetting us and not forgetting my children." The old man Xiao Daji tightly held the hand of Liu Shuyang, a retired soldier in Hekou Town, and said that although he lost a child, he had the love of many children.
"The martyrs have been loyal to the country, and the relatives of the martyrs are our relatives." Since the beginning of this year, cadres of the volunteer service stations for veterans at the town and village levels in Hekou have visited the families of martyrs and their children on a regular basis, issued 15 preferential treatment certificates, helped 16 retired servicemen and their families to solve their living difficulties, and answered 56 consultations from the relatives of martyrs on the spot.
