Introduction: Xu Liang, a first-class battle awarded by the Central Military Commission. On March 11 this year, at the commemorative meeting of the 332 missing martyrs "Heroic Souls Returning Home" held at the Longzhou County Gymnasium, the 332 missing martyrs of the 150th Division of the 50th Army in the war against Vietnam, the combat hero Xu Liang made the following tearful speech.
Battle hero Xu Liang spoke
Dear leaders, dear fathers and fellow countrymen, dear caring people, dear martyrs and comrades-in-arms, hello!
I'm Xu Liang,
Once participated in the Battle of LaoShan,
Comrades who died fighting with me,
They are all buried in the Malipo Martyrs' Cemetery in Yunnan.
Today, I came to participate
Guangxi Longzhou's "Heroic Soul Returns Home" memorial activity,
It's because a few months ago,
I'm in the circle of friends of a martyr's sister,
I came across "The True Hero in the Lost Battle"
This epic documentary of the Sino-Vietnamese War.
A heroic feat of 332 martyrs who can sing and cry
And the pain of the cone of the heart that has nowhere to resent for 40 years,
It's shocking, it makes people cry without tears.
When I learned that with the support of the relevant government departments,
With the efforts of Chen Song and other comrades-in-arms and martyrs' subordinates,
On March 12, 2019,
It will be held at the Longzhou Martyrs' Cemetery in Guangxi
The unveiling ceremony of the "Heroic Wall" and the commemoration of heroic martyrs.
At that moment, I decided,
No matter how far away, no matter how difficult,
I'm going to witness this
A solemn and sacred moment in history!
I'm going to join so many veterans of the war,
Go and welcome the souls of your comrades-in-arms!
I'm going to make all the efforts for that
People salute!
At this moment,
I was touched and had mixed feelings.
Although I lost a leg in the war,
Although for decades one leg
It has brought all kinds of inconvenience and pain to my life.
But compared to the 332 martyrs,
Compared with all the martyrs who have been buried in the southern Xinjiang of the motherland,
I'm lucky.
It's blissful.
So, all along,
In my heart,
The real heroes are these people buried in the martyrs' cemetery,
They are the real heroes!
People often say I'm low-key,
I said, it depends on when.
With whom.
If in the presence of martyrs,
If you are with your comrades-in-arms,
I'm definitely understated.
I have to keep a low profile,
But when singing the song "Bloodstained Style",
I've never been low-key,
Because this song does not belong to me Xu Liang alone,
It belongs to all veterans.
I personally can keep a low profile,
But the deeds of veterans cannot be low-key,
We must let more people know and remember our past efforts,
Remember on the flag of the Republic
There is our blood-stained style.
I hope
When people hear this song,
I think of this war,
Remembering all the veterans who participated in the war to defend their families and defend their country,
A history of bloody sacrifices,
Remembering the revered hero,
Advocating heroes,
Promote the Age of Heroes!
It was a period full of passion,
Years of hope and dreams,
Soldiers returning from the front
Became the loveliest person of the new generation,
"Old Mountain Spirit", "Old Mountain Orchid"
Is the most appealing and iconic thing,
Even the moral yardstick of Chinese.
Not long since
Tombstones or those tombstones,
Stories or those stories,
But listening to or singing "Bloodstained Style"
People who grew up singing,
But gradually forgot the hero in the song,
There are even people who laugh at heroes.
Yes, the southern frontier that was once full of wars,
It has become the forefront of trade with Vietnam today.
This historical change,
It's a lot of wow.
But the war of that year,
It is for today's peace and development,
At this point,
Whether individual or national,
Should be faced calmly,
And you can't choose to deliberately dilute or even forget —
If blood and fire write history
Become vague,
We are sorry for those who have paid for it with their blood.
Even all the veterans and martyrs of life.
Because it is their bravery and loyalty,
It is their bloodshed and sacrifice,
Only then can there be a peaceful environment for reform and opening up.
Only today's prosperity and development;
If we forget consciously or unconsciously,
When the next war of anti-aggression begins,
There will also be generosity to death,
A hero who has no remorse?
So
It's not just about being kind to history.
Or be kind to the question of the future.
President Xi Jinping has instructed:
"Don't let the hero shed both blood and tears."
Concise, simple and straightforward,
But it is far-sighted and far-reaching.
To this end, let us look forward to it together,
The "spirit of the old mountain" was returned,
The exploits of heroes are widely praised,
"Blood-stained style" was sung again at the Spring Festival Gala.
Patriotism, advocating heroes,
Forever become a whole countryman
Resolutely defend the core values,
Code of Ethics and Spiritual Pillars!
At last
Comrades of the 448th Regiment who sacrificed their lives for the country
And all those who died in that war
Salute to the heroes!
Xu Liang
March 11
