A mottled green enamel bowl, the surface of which has faded, is the treasure of an 89-year-old man. This bowl was obtained on the first day of his enlistment, and he followed him to the battlefield to witness the years of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Today, the elderly still eat from this bowl. In his opinion, using this "old guy" who has accompanied him for decades is always full of hope in his heart.
Xiaoxiang Morning News reporter Chen Shixian intern Wang Kaihui Deng Ninglong Changsha reported
"Salute, salute." Although the two sideburns were white, the old man's voice was sonorous and powerful. The beacon fire has been suspended for more than half a century, and seeing the small enamel bowl always evokes the memories of the war 70 years ago, and the memory is constantly screened in front of the eyes of the old man like a movie picture. In his sleep, he was often awakened by the sound of gunfire and thought he was on the Front Line in North Korea.
These "loveliest people" of 70 years ago still remember the glory days and talk about it. On October 23, at the Hunan Provincial Invalids Hospital's Invalides Recuperation Center and veterans' homes, the old people recalled the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the old people were still very excited, "Literary and artistic soldiers can also go to the front." ”
Small green enamel bowl, which veterans have used to eat for 71 years
"This is my old buddy, who has been following me for 71 years." Wu Xiansheng, 89, said.
On October 23, the reporter came to the home of Wu Xiansheng in Changsha, two white sideburns of the old man is sitting on a chair to eat, there are 3 small dishes on the table, the reporter noticed that the old man's rice bowl is a small green enamel bowl, the surface has faded. Why don't the old people use the beautiful white porcelain bowl in the cupboard?
"I've been eating this bowl for 71 years." Wu Xiansheng held the bowl and smiled. Wu Xiansheng told reporters that this was the bowl he issued on the first day of enlistment, and no matter which unit he was transferred to, the small green enamel bowl always followed him. Used day by day, the surface of the green enamel bowl has been mottled, but Wu Xiansheng still loves it, and his family has advised him to change a small bowl, but he is unwilling. "This is the rice bowl of my revolution, and I will always use it." Wu Xiansheng told reporters.
In August 1949, the 18-year-old Wu Xiansheng joined the army at Changsha Tui ze Middle School, and on the first day of enlistment, the army distributed supplies, a small green enamel bowl, and has since become Wu Xiansheng's "treasure".
The small green enamel bowl followed Wu Xiansheng into the Korean War. Shortly after joining the army, Wu Xiansheng was transferred to the Qingdao Navy, and on June 8, 1951, the Wangjiamai Radar Station was completed, and Wu Xiansheng became a radar soldier. In 1952, in order to prevent the historical repetition of the second "Inchon Landing", 8 radar soldiers entered the Korean War with the army. One day in April 1952, when night fell, Wu Xiansheng got two packs of biscuits, secretly sat on an empty stuffy can train, and after more than 20 hours of day and night running, quietly arrived at the Dandong port, and then sat on a wooden sailing boat driven by a North Korean uncle, sailed at sea for nearly 4 hours, and finally arrived at The Outpost Island in the West Sea of North Korea - Shenmi Island.
With an area of about 3 square kilometers, Kamya Island is a small island, but it is the gateway to and from the west coast of North Korea, and its strategic location is very important. Soon after landing on the island, Wu Xiansheng and the soldiers began to do radar detection work and build fortifications. "On the island we all live in underground tunnels, which are dark 24 hours a day." Wu Xiansheng recalled that in order to ensure the secrecy of the radar station, he could only eat and sleep in the underground tunnel with his comrades-in-arms, "living in the dark, eating with my small bowl, his heart is always full of hope." ”
In 1954, Wu Xiansheng returned to Changsha and was reunited with his family after a gap of five years.
The "ghost door" was closed, and his right leg was amputated due to injury
"Go fast, go fast, the enemy shells are coming..." The explosion of the bombs on the smoke-filled highlands, the roar of the warriors.
In 1952, on the high ground of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Xiuqi and his comrades-in-arms were building fortifications in the trenches, but unexpectedly, the enemy's shells suddenly attacked, exploded not far from Li Xiuqi, and the shrapnel of the shells splashed around, and Li Xiuqi's right calf was in severe pain. ”
The injured Li Xiuqi was sent to the health company, because of the serious injury, he was sent back to Heilongjiang for treatment, and when he woke up, the doctor told him, "Due to the serious injury, the right leg is amputated, comrade, you may not be able to walk normally in the future." Hearing the news of losing his right leg, Li Xiuqi was silent.
On October 23, at the Rongjun Recuperation Center of Hunan Rongjun Hospital, the reporter met Li Xiuqi, an 87-year-old veteran, walking with a limp and a very slow speed, but he still insisted on walking on his own without the support of medical staff.
Li Xiuqi told reporters that in June 1951, he joined the army in Zhuzhou at the age of 18. His father saw that he was so determined to enlist in the army, and although he did not give up, he still encouraged him. In 1953, after the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Xiuqi also returned to Changsha from Heilongjiang, and in the Changsha Leek Garden, the family finally met, "My father saw me walking and limping, and he was stunned." Li Xiuqi said that after two years, his father saw himself again and did not speak for a long time.
"But I never regret going to fight in North Korea." Li Xiuqi said firmly.
Female literary soldiers crossed 3 blockade lines to fight
"At special moments, our literary and artistic soldiers are also on the front line." Liu Guiying, who was full of white hair, said. In the corridor of the Invalides Recuperation Center, the reporter saw Liu Guiying, a veteran in silver hair and green uniforms. Liu Guiying is 85 years old this year, but his body is tough and straight, and his spirit is strong.
In 1951, Liu Guiying joined the army in Sinan, Guizhou, became a literary and artistic female soldier in the cultural and labor troupe, and then entered the DPRK with the army, and his daily work was to do cultural propaganda, give cultural lessons to the soldiers, and boost morale.
In 1952, a campaign required a female soldier to go to the front, and Liu Guiying resolutely signed up. The operation required crossing three enemy blockade lines, each of which kept the enemy's artillery fire for 24 hours, "when fighters flew overhead and bullets swept past. Liu Guiying said excitedly. It was also in this battle that she was awarded the third class merit.
On October 24, 2020, Liu Guiying will receive a commemorative medal for the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Mentioning this matter, the smile on the old man's face could not be suppressed. "Although my mother is old, she loves cleanliness and sometimes wears flowers on her head." Liu Guiying's daughter Ms. Gu revealed.
Before leaving, the reporter proposed to take a military salute photo for her, and the old man gladly agreed. Get up, stand upright, salute, and the whole set of actions is completed in one go. Her gaze was resolute, as if she were still the girl who had rushed out of the enemy's blockade line in the rain of bullets and bullets.
