Veteran never die

Chapter 159 I am Wang Cheng, reporting to you!

0158 I am Wang Cheng, reporting to you!

When he yelled out the words 'fire at me', Jiang Qingquan was determined to die, but luckily, he failed to become a martyr.

And survived, he endured a lot of humiliation and pain.

Think about this situation. In the middle of the night in [-], in the era of worshiping combat heroes, the village production team organized everyone to watch the movie "Heroes and Daughters".

Jiang Qingquan's wife has always praised the protagonist Wang Cheng in the play as brave and fearless, and he is her idol.

But as everyone knows, Wang Chengcheng in the play is her pillow person all the time.

Jiang Qingquan didn't speak, he could understand at a glance that what was said in the movie was actually what he had done.

But he didn't dare to say anything, just shed tears silently.

After he got home, he cried secretly all night under the quilt.

The next day when he was working in the field, he shed tears quietly again. He could not let others see, let alone know, because he was carrying the burden of the prisoner of war in his heart.

Jiang Qingquan thinks: Wang Cheng is a hero, but he is not.

Jiang Qingquan didn't dare to mention the events of the year to anyone, when someone asked him how he fought in those years.

He prevaricated: "I haven't fought many battles, and I can sing. Let me sing you a song."

It's over and over.

Memories can't be shared with others, no matter what makes him excited or sad, they can't be shared with others.

A lifetime of shadows.

In this way, Jiang Qingquan fell silent in solitude. In his opinion, the heroic spirit and heroic past that once swallowed mountains and rivers belonged only to the tall image in the movie, and had nothing to do with himself.

More than 40 years have passed, and in this isolated village in Liao Province, Jiang Qingquan is getting old and gray-haired.

He didn't know what the world outside the mountain looked like, he didn't dare to step out, he felt that he had no face to step out.

One day in [-], several neighbors suddenly ran into Jiang Qingquan's home. They excitedly said that his name was mentioned on TV!
The neighbor danced excitedly: "The people on the TV mentioned you, and the information is all right! You are the prototype of Wang Cheng!"

Jiang Qingquan shook his head: "That's not, it's not me."

Neighbor: "Then why isn't it you? People mentioned you Jiang Qingquan, the year you served in the army and the year you left the army are all right."

Jiang Qingquan: "There are many people named Jiang Qingquan in the world, and there are tens of thousands of volunteers with the same name."

Wang Liang wiped away his tears, why did he help the veterans?

That's it.

Wang Liang: "Jiang Qingquan's first reaction was not excitement or excitement, but dazed and flustered. He was no longer used to his name being linked with the word hero. He planned to spend his whole life like this in a remote mountain village Old man, of course he can't imagine that there are still people in this world who always miss him, and even search for him hard."

Jiang Qingquan didn't have the desire to stand up, he thought, let those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things rot in his stomach forever.

In [-], the war correspondent who wrote "The Indomitable Voice" and several old comrades in arms found Jiang Qingquan after several turns, and handed him the manuscript of the war newsletter describing his heroic deeds.

After media reports, the old comrades in arms saw it.

They came all the way to prove for Jiang Qingquan.

Jiang Qingquan finally said that sentence calmly: I am Wang Cheng.

Someone asked Jiang Qingquan why he kept silent.

Jiang Qingquan replied: "The hero Wang Cheng on the screen died, but I am still alive. I have had that experience. I don't want to discredit the hero."

Speaking of this, the comment area has fallen.

Visitors at the scene also expressed their views.

"Heroes should not be buried. The prisoners of war have experienced more severe torture and tests. He always insisted on returning to the motherland instead of going to Taiwan. They are all good deeds. The people should not forget them, and the government should not treat them badly. .They are heroes!"

"History will never forget Mr. Jiang, the cutest person, their blood-stained demeanor is in the soil of the Republic!"

"Wang Cheng's image is vivid in the movie "Heroes and Daughters" when I was a child. Only now do I know that he is an old senior from our county!"

"Please be kind to him."

"The motherland can't be forgotten, and the people can't forget it!"

Wang Liang went on to say: "Soldiers have little influence on the progress of the war, but as an individual life, everyone has their own unique memory, which is not equivalent to those cold numbers and objective records in history textbooks. For war The meaning of war and the memory of war are different among decision makers, bystanders, historical researchers and ordinary soldiers who witnessed the battle."

----------

During his one-year stay in the management office, Jiang Qingquan was in the same squad as [-] other fighters.

Everyday life is confession and self-criticism, no merits, only faults.

They can still wear military uniforms and drink water from ceramic jars printed with the words Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

But they are no longer considered military.

The cadres in charge of education, review and return to captives have this conclusion: "There is no captive in the dictionary of the people's army, and being captive is equal to betrayal."

When being interrogated by the enemy, Jiang Qingquan told the enemy: "Each person has a small light machine gun and eats rice, white noodles, pork and mutton."

Every normal person knows that this is to counter the interrogation of the enemy.

However, the final result of the review was that he exposed the weapons and equipment of the troops after his capture.

The political department of Jiang Qingquan's unit provided him with sufficient support, so that he was only punished by the party with a warning, and fortunately retained his party and military membership.

In the subsequent turmoil, the files were dug out.

He was hit.

I have suffered and suffered so much.

Until one day in December [-], two people from the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Organization Department came to announce the cancellation of his party punishment.

That day, Jiang Qingquan, who had never shed a single tear on the Korean battlefield, cried a lot.

"Later, the organization asked Jiang Qingquan if he had any requests. The old man asked for one, hoping to get a commemorative medal for resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. After hearing the news, the Political Department made a special commemorative medal for the old man. When the medal was awarded, the old man Jiang Qingquan died Wearing the old military uniform of that year, he saluted his old chief, the political commissar of the 23rd Army of the Volunteer Army, who was over 23 years old. The old chief came over with the support of two soldiers. Jiang Qingquanhui reported: "Chief, the Volunteer Army Jiang Qingquan, the 67th company of the 201st Regiment of the 5th Division of the [-]rd Army, will report to you as the footman.'The old chief Pei tremblingly pinned the war commemorative badge to Jiang Qingquan's chest, and then the two old people hugged each other and cried loudly..."

The story of Wang Liang is also finished: "Loyal to the motherland, unambiguous, never leave! The backbone of China! A model soldier!"
