There is a scene in the hit movie "Chosin Lake": In order to prevent the enemy from continuing to approach, Yang Gensi, the commander of the volunteer company, picked up a bag of explosives, pulled the fuse, and rushed to the enemy group, and died with the enemy who climbed the position.
The first person to report on Yang Gensi's heroic deeds was Hua Min, a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency.
After Hua Min entered Korea with a certain unit of the Volunteer Army, he immediately participated in the news reporting work of the Eastern Front of the Second Campaign, and the unit he interviewed was the company of his old friend Yang Gensi.
One day, the superior issued a battle order. Before the troops were about to leave, Yang Gensi and Hua Min touched each other with rice bowls and made an appointment to meet again. What Hua Min did not expect was that this farewell would become a farewell forever.
After the battle began, Yang Gensi was given the task of controlling Xiao gaoling.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Yang Gensi picked up a bag of explosives, and without hesitation, pulled the fuse and died with the enemy.
After the battle, Hua Min was deeply saddened when he heard the news of Yang Gensi's heroic sacrifice. He immediately found and interviewed several of the wounded in the battle.
On December 24, 1950, Xinhua News Agency issued a newsletter entitled "Immortal Yang Gensi Hero Platoon", which spread at home and abroad.
This report, which is full of Hua Min's true feelings, also pins on the deep longing of a Xinhua reporter and his comrades-in-arms who will never see each other again.
