Telling the War for Peace - Explainer Ji Ning's "918"

Shenyang, 17 Sep (Xinhua) -- The 510-meter-long exhibition line speaks four or five times a day for 40 minutes each time.

Ji Ning, 42, is a docent at Shenyang's "918" History Museum.

Before the explanation, Ji Ning would change into a white shirt, which symbolized a humble attitude towards history and heroism. "One day a year is '9/18', but every day we work is '9/18.'"

With 9,180 square meters of exhibition halls, more than 800 photos and more than 300 exhibits in 7 exhibition halls, Ji Ning is like a stream. In her 20 years of explanations, she has been repeated every day, and every day she has gained new stories and new insights.

Ji Ning said that every time he explains, he must start from the "918 Incident", which makes people feel heavy. "I prefer to say that the military and people in the northeast rose up to resist Japan, and I will also be excited." Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zhao Yiman... It was these heroes who built the new Great Wall with their flesh and blood. ”

As a mother, Ji Ning's heart hurts whenever she talks about Zhao Yiman.

Zhao Yiman was a famous general of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, who was only 31 years old when he died. Before she was killed by the Japanese army, she left a letter to her son, which read: It is a pity that your mother did not fulfill your educational responsibilities... Mother does not use a thousand words to educate you, she uses practice to educate you. When you grow up, hopefully don't forget that your mother died for your country!

"What makes a mother able to give up her child?" Ji Ning said that if you understand Zhao Yiman, you can understand the War of Resistance.

From the outbreak of the "918 Incident", China fought a 14-year-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, paying the price of more than 35 million military and civilian casualties. Among the thousands of martyrs, Zhao Yiman is a flower, and many are unsung heroes.

Ms. Ji said an old woman in her 70s had come to the museum from Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province. She held an old yellowed piece of paper, a letter her father had left behind when he had left home, saying that he was going to Liaoning to join the Volunteer Army in fighting Japan, but he never returned.

Unable to bear to send the old man away like this, Ji Ning took the old man to the national anthem wall of the museum. The "March of the Volunteer Army", which was born in the anti-Japanese flames, was created for the anti-Japanese volunteer army.

Ji Ning said to the old man, "The national anthem is written and sung by your father." When the old lady heard this, tears poured out, bowed three times to the national anthem wall, and left. Ji Ning also cried.
