author:The People's Liberation Army News and Communication Center integrates the media

In the early morning of June 20, Tu Youjia, political commissar of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces of Xihua County, Henan Province, rushed to the county people's hospital together with Wang Pengcheng, director of the Political Engineering Section, and Cheng Jingbing, deputy director of the county Veterans Affairs Bureau, to visit And comfort Wang Dongliang, a seriously ill veteran, and bring a special gift to the elderly. Wang Dongliang was born on July 15, 1927 in Xi axeke Village, Huangqiao Township, Xihua County, Henan Province. At the age of 18, he joined the Central Plains Field Army, accompanied the troops to the south and the north, and made many military achievements. In November 1950, he went to Korea to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After the end of the war, Wang Dongliang was demobilized and returned to his hometown, and successively served as the commander of the militia company, the secretary of the village party committee and the instructor of the militia company. Unloading his armor and returning to the field, he still dreamed of the military camp. Son Wang Taiping introduced that the old man likes to watch war-themed films and documentaries the most on weekdays, often watching them while telling the thrilling battles he has experienced. In previous years, Wang Dongliang often went to schools and enterprises to conduct national defense education for young people in combination with his own combat experience. Under his mobilization, 16 young people of the right age in his village and neighboring villages joined the army and served the country, some of whom were admitted to military schools and promoted to work, and some of whom joined the party and made meritorious contributions. Some time ago, Wang Dongliang was sent to the county people's hospital for rescue due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Perhaps remembering the smoke and smoke on the battlefield, the old man in the coma often muttered to himself: "Quick, give me a gun, I want to go to the front!" "Comrades, rush!" On the night of June 18, Wang Dongliang, who woke up from his coma, said intermittently to his children in a weak voice: "These days, I can always dream of fighting with my comrades on the battlefield, and I and I are wearing the new uniforms issued in the team, but I can lift my breath..." In order to fulfill his father's wishes, Wang Taiping went to the RenwuBu for help. "Fulfilling the wishes of veterans of the war is our unshirkable duty!" Listening to the story of the veteran, the leader of the armed forces department was deeply moved, prepared a set of old-fashioned military uniforms for the first time, and contacted the relevant leaders of the county veterans affairs bureau to visit the seriously ill veterans. On the morning of June 20, Wang Dongliang, whose condition had improved, was extremely excited to see the military and local leaders who had come to visit him. He stroked his brand-new military uniform and said, "I'm also a warrior, so I'm going to put it on and charge again!" As he spoke, the old man burst into tears.
