Now I finally found it, no matter how far, I have to see it. "

After commemorating his father, Wei Bizhen hoped to learn more about his father's situation in Daxing'an Ridge. The staff of the Service Center of the Retired Military Affairs Bureau of Gagdaki District actively contacted it.

☆ The media linkage of the North and South Party is looking for relatives ☆

In April 2022, the CPC Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee struggled magazine to contact the Meizhou Daily by the CPC Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Southern Magazine, hoping that the party media of the North and South China to jointly buried the Xingxing of the Beishan Martyrs Cemetery in the Gagdaki District, Daxing'an Ridge, Heilongjiang Province. Ning Martyr Chen Xinquan "seeking relatives".

"Chen Xinquan Martyrs' Himes: Mei Shima Troops in the Longgang Brigade of Ningtang Commune, Xingning County, Guangdong Province: The Lean of the 8699th Division of the Railway Third Division of the Railways ..." Meizhou Daily reporter followed the clues provided by the Struggle Magazine, and immediately contacted Meizhou The city, Xingning's retired military affairs bureaus and local town villages, and quickly found Chen Xinquan's two nephews, Chen Xingpeng and Chen Miminbin.

"Chen Xinquan is the martyr registered in the book. Before the sacrifice, the Director of the 8699th Army of the PLA." In the retired military affairs bureau of Xingning City, the staff took out a book "The British Revolutionary Martyrs in Xingning County, Guangdong Province" in 1982. The reporter, Chen Xinquan's name was recorded in the column of "Martyrs of the Socialist Revolution and Socialist Construction."

Chen Xinquan's family has gone through many difficulties and has experienced a lot of difficulties. He contacted Wei Bizhen, who is currently living in the Baoting Li Miao Autonomous County, Hainan Province.

"Thank you, friends and friends. When the family told me to find my father's news, I was very happy. The desire for many years finally realized! My son, daughter -in -law, and daughter also asked for leave and went to Daxinganling to worship together." This reporter When I contacted Wei Bizhen, her words were grateful. Having said that, she hurriedly rushed to Harbin to drive the K7103 train to Gagdakh, and ran to the place where she was concerned. ☆ Shan Hai is constantly flesh and fleshy ☆

In the past, a wooden box, a few fuzzy old photos and a revolutionary martyr's certificate brought from the troops were the thoughts left by Chen Xinquan to future generations. Today, above the Beishan has become the spiritual sustenance of future generations. This not only allowed Wei Bizhen in Hainan to sacrifice his father for thousands of miles, but also made Chen Hongdong, who was far away in Hong Kong.

He also heard my grandma telling a lot of stories about his uncle. There is such a hero in the family. "Chen Hongdong told reporters that he had went to Xingning Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau to ask, and found the British list of martyrs, and found the uncle's sacrifice forces and deeds, but could not know that the uncle was buried in burial Where. This time I did not expect that the opportunity to contact the reporter of the Meizhou Daily and successfully found the uncle.

Yunnan Plateau, Inner Mongolia, and Heilongjiang, the only old photos in the family recorded the footprints that Chen Xinquan had gone through. Chen Hongdong used them as a "box treasure" and kept it carefully for more than 20 years, and it is still intact. Chen Hongdong said that he wanted to do something, otherwise he would really be forgotten over time. "I am very happy in my heart, especially for the first time I saw the name of the uncle's name on the Daxinganling Monument!" Chen Hongdong said that due to the influence of his uncle, he often participated in the activities of patriotic and love Hong Kong. germination.

South and north, mountains and sea, home and country, aspiration and inheritance. The era of passion was over, but the passion left by Xianlie was always burning. At this moment, it seemed like a martyrs' gaze, and the legacy was inherited.
