"Looking for Grandpa (cemetery) is both the last wish of Dad and the last wishes of grandma. No matter how long it takes, how much energy is it, our 3 sisters must find it."

On September 22, the autumn was high. In a ordinary residential community in the southeast corner of Xi'an, several chrysanthemums were blooming in the corner. In Hao Xiaofang's simple and tidy home, she talked to the China Business Daily reporter about the four -person mother -grandson's relay to find the martyrs and grandpa ...

Childhood doubt

Sisters have no parents since childhood

I have never seen Grandpa

Hao Xiaofang is 46 years old. His hometown is cheerful and straightforward in Qingxuan County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. She said that among the three sisters, the three of them were ranked third, and the two sisters were big in hand. For them, father and mother were more symbols and a concept. Especially Hao Xiaofang, she has no impression of her parents except the parents in the photo.

Hao Xiaofang's grandma is from Suide County, Yulin City. He was born in a large family and knows the book.

Hao Xiaofang clearly remembered that when she was a child, she was sick. Grandma was worried and held her to see a doctor overnight. The doctor said that it was just an ordinary cold, and the grandmother took down. It was late at home at home. Hao Xiaofang shouted to eat tomato egg noodles. Grandma did it without saying a word. When the grandmother sent the fragrant tomato egg noodles to Hao Xiaofang's hand, Hao Xiaofang felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

"When I was a kid, our sisters' schoolbags were sewed by the corners of the tailored fabric, which was sewed by the corners of the fabric. Hao Xiaofang is full of energy, and his words are full of deep love and respect. "Grandma educates us, be honest, kind, filial, and tell us to think in other things, don't conflict with others ..."

As soon as he mentioned his father, mother and grandpa, Hao Xiaofang's circles became red instantly, and tears came out immediately. "You don't know how hard it is that the children of a father and mother are in the countryside." Hao Xiaofang recalled that when he was playing with his friends when he was a child, whenever someone said that their sisters had no father and mother, they were very attached to their self -esteem. The only thing they can do is crying home to find grandma and mother. At this time, in addition to secretly wiping tears, Grandma always tried to make goodbye to them to comfort them.

After Hao Xiaofang grew up, Grandma told their sisters. Their dad's eyes were tall and handsome, knew mechanical technology, and was responsible for the management of diesel engines in Murakami. Their mother is beautiful, kind and gentle. "Grandma said, when my father and mother were alive, I loved us very much. At that time, the food was short of food. Many children could not eat enough and were skinny. For our healthy growth, my parents often opened our small stoves -we eat steamed buns, we are eating buns, we are Mom and Dad eat Wusou. "

One day in June 1976, Hao Xiaofang's father and mother died unfortunately due to the landslide of the mountains. At that time, Hao Xiaofang's father was 28 years old, his mother was 25 years old, and Hao Xiaofang's three sisters were 5 and a half years old, and the youngest was only 9 months. "Grandma said, if it wasn't for the diesel engine when working was too loud, father and mother would likely escape." Speaking of which, Hao Xiaofang couldn't help crying.

Although there is no father's love, grandma gave them all their love.

The problem of mom and dad has been solved, and the three sisters have new problems: why do other children have both grandma and grandpa, but they have no?

Facing this problem, grandma is unwilling to say more. Later, some relatives quietly told them that Grandpa was eternal pain from his grandmother's heart. Let them not ask first, and the grandma will naturally say when the time mature. The sensible three sisters have no longer mentioned this topic.

Pride

Grandpa sacrifice in the war of liberation

Reliable as revolutionary martyrs

Under the careful care of grandma, the three sisters of Hao Xiaofang grew up day by day, and grandma told the granddaughter that their grandpa participated in the revolutionary sacrifice.

Grandma said that Grandpa and her were born in 1930, ranking boss among the three brothers, diligent and kind. In early 1947, after the matchmaker, the two of the two were booked for them. Before engagement, the grandmother's uncle also pretended to be a pig who recruited pigs to inspect Grandpa's house. "Grandma said, her uncle found that my grandfather was not only handsome, but also very clever, and he was very decent when he said things. At that time, he was so satisfied." Hao Xiaofang said that grandma would overflow with happiness when he recalled his grandfather's past. Smile.

In June 1947, Hao Xiaofang's grandfather and grandma held a grand wedding according to the customs of the time. "Grandma was married in a sedan sedan. On the road, a child boasted that the groom looked good. Grandma was curious, so he secretly unveiled the hijab, gently pulled up the curtain of the sedan, and quickly glanced at Grandpa: big eyes and double eyelids, big eyes, double eyelids, Separate, the body is strong, really handsome. "That night, grandma said to Grandpa," Everyone said you look good, I still worry about you. "Grandpa said," You want so much to do so much work. What kind of mile? I think you are all good, your body is good, and walking is good. "

After marriage, grandpa and grandma were very loving. In the mature season of mountain fruit, every time Grandpa goes up the mountain, he will pick up sand fruit, jujube, apricot and other fruits to grandma. Grandma does not like to eat too sour fruits, grandpa will first taste the mountain fruit in different areas, where the sweetness of the sweetness, he keeps all in his heart, and take it home to eat it for grandma.

Grandma said that Grandpa's heart is clever, and he will do everything. The baskets, reed mats, and furniture in the family are made by grandpa by himself, beautiful and strong. In July 1947, the liberation war entered a strategic offensive stage. In September, the PLA army came to the village, and Grandpa resolutely joined the army. Although it was only three months old at the time, it was during the newly -married Yaner, but the enlightened grandma resolutely supported Grandpa to participate in the army. She said that only by the entire China can the people live a good life. A few days before Grandpa left, he rushed to the grandmother's mother's house to help dig potatoes. After digging the potatoes and stacking it, Grandpa said to his grandmother, "You and your parents are assured. As long as you have me, your family will not be afraid of no one to do it."

On the day of Grandpa's departure, grandma got up early and made a bowl of noodles for Grandpa. Grandpa said, ‘I’ m going to feel bad about you, you eat it. "Grandma said,‘ You eat, you do n’t know when you are back. ‘You push me, I let you, I let you go back and forth for dozens of minutes, the noodles are cold, and in the end, no one eats it.

Seeing that it's going to go out, Grandpa said to his grandma, "Can the soap you married let me take me to the troops and wash my face." Grandma first stunned and said, "That's my mother's family, you took it away, you took it away No one bought it for me. "But after thinking about it, Grandpa didn't know when he could come back, and then said," Then you can use it. "Grandpa said," You just said to the mile, I me Can't get it. "Grandma repeatedly said it several times and asked Grandpa to bring soap, but Grandpa said nothing. Grandma said later, this soap made her regret her life.

Grandpa said with a smile to his grandma before setting off, "Don't worry, I will go home safely on the day of victory."

In February 1948, Grandma received a long -awaited home book. Grandpa said in the letter that the troops hit Luochuan County and the battle was very fierce. When the battle of Wako Street in Huanglong County was victorious, he would drive to the treasure chicken, let the grandma take care of his body, take care of the child who is about to be born, and wait for him to go home.

In June 1948, Hao Xiaofang's father, Hao Jianxin, was born, and his name was Hao Shengli. "Grandma has a special meaning to the name of Dad. 'Jianxin' means building a New China." Victory "is that grandma wants grandpa to come home after a victory."

After the war of liberation, seeing other soldiers go home and reunite with her loved ones, grandma kept waiting for her husband to come back at the village entrance. Sometimes the whole day is a whole day, but the news of Grandpa is not waiting. Until a day in 1950, the troops came to say that Grandpa died unfortunately in a battle in 1948. After listening to the grandmother, she kept crying from the village entrance ... Soon, Grandpa was rated as a martyr. Relying on the pension issued by the state and the help of relatives, grandma raised his son alone.

After listening to Grandma's telling, Sister Hao Xiaofang was proud to have such a grandfather.

Adult -seeking

Mother -in -law relaying search for Grandpa cemeteries for 72 years

Finally found a monument

Hao Xiaofang said that September 17, 1947 was the day when Grandpa joined the army, and his grandma remembered his life. "Grandma in her life is full of grandpa. Over time, her thoughts on grandpa have increased day by day." Hao Xiaofang clearly remembered that while grandma was raising them, many nights called Grandpa's name to wake up from the dream. She asked her grandmother. Grandma said that Grandpa gave her a dream. Sisters know that grandma wants Grandpa.

Since knowing the deeds of Grandpa, grandma often told the three granddaughter that Grandpa brave and kind, and is the hero of the whole family. Without the heroic sacrifice of grandpa and comrades on the battlefield, there will be no happy life of them today. The three sisters also admired Grandpa in their hearts.

Grandpa was buried after the sacrifice of the liberation war, and his comrades -in -arms did not know. Hao Xiaofang said that from the day of his grandfather's sacrifice, grandma tried to find ways to inquire about Grandpa's burial place. Unfortunately, there was no news.

Under the careful care of grandma, the three sisters of the Hao family grew up healthy, successively became a family and came to work in Xi'an. "Grandma is very good to us, and we also love grandma." Hao Xiaofang said that when he got the first monthly salary, he bought a pair of satin shoes for his grandmother. Grandma was very happy and praised his granddaughter filial piety. The same is true of the two sisters. As long as they pay, they will buy clothes and gifts for grandma.

Seeing that grandma was old every day, the idea of ​​looking for grandpa's burial ground was getting stronger and stronger. The three granddaughters looked in the heart and decided to help the grandmother look for the grandfather's burial place. "For more than ten years, we have been to many places and contacted many departments. Because the time has passed for a long time, there has been no news."

A few years ago, the three sisters saw that CCTV had a "Waiting for Me" to find a family -looking show. With the idea of ​​trying to contact the column group, the column group registered relevant information and asked them to wait at home.

On September 22, 2021, for Hao Xiaofang's three sisters, it was an unforgettable day -this day, their 91 -year -old grandma died. "Grandma told us to find Grandpa's cemetery during the serious illness. After finding it, we must tell her in front of her grave. Grandma also asked us to hold a loess from her grave on her tomb. ","

"Grandma's life is not easy. After waiting for Grandpa for a lifetime, remembering grandpa for a lifetime, and thinking about grandpa for a lifetime." Speaking of this, Hao Xiaofang cried out. She said that her grandmother's life was too bitter in her life. First, Grandpa sacrificed in the battlefield, and then his parents died due to public. People raise adults. After the grandmother's death, the three sisters of Hao Xiaofang accelerated the pace of looking for grandpa's burial land. Because this is not only the last wishes of grandma, the last wishes of their dads, but also their greatest wish.

After the CCTV "Waiting for Me" column group and relevant departments, they worked hard. In August this year, the CCTV "Waiting for Me" column group told Sister Hao in Jinan, Shandong, and the staff found their grandfather's monument in the Cemetery of the Qing Dynasty.

"Your grandfather is Hao Yongdeng. Born in 1930, Communist Party member, correspondent, died in the liberation war in 1948. When he was sacrificed, he was only 18 years old." Hearing the introduction of the staff, Hao Xiaofang and the eldest sister burst into tears, crying, and kneeling when they kneeling. Thanks to the staff on the ground.

The next day, Hao Xiaofang and the eldest sister (the second sister were sick) rushed back to the Qing Dynasty martyr's cemetery from Jinan, Shandong to worship Grandpa. Before worshiping, the sisters specially made a bowl of noodles for Grandpa, bought a piece of soap, and put them in front of Grandpa's tombstone.

"Grandpa, we are your granddaughter, I think you are here. You and your comrades -in -arms sacrificed for the heroic cause of the motherland. You have no sacrifice ... "Kneeling in front of Grandpa's monument, Hao Xiaofang and his sister intersect.

Hao Xiaofang said that although the monument to Grandpa was found this time, the real cemetery has not yet been found, but it is enough to illustrate the attention of the party and the government for revolutionary martyrs. With this monument, Grandpa's soul has places where he places, and he will not be alone.

Future plan

Worship your grandparents, parents, mom and dad regularly

It will also educate good children

Hao Xiaofang said that the children who grew up under the care of their parents could not feel the suffering of the children who lost their parents. "My dad has no dad as soon as he was born. We have lost my father and mother since I was a child. I can understand the pain and mood of Dad's childhood. I feel bad for my dad and my grandma."

At the end of the interview, Hao Xiaofang told reporters that the happy family and family are similar, and the unfortunate families are different, but there is everything in love. They will regularly worship grandparents, parents, and inherit this love. It will also educate children and love in their hearts.
