The centenary anti -war veterans growing corn

(Author: Chen Yongxin) Today, the third station of the rescue oral history of the War of Resistance Against Japan: The veteran of Zhou Changcan.

Zhou Changcan, 101 years old, from Fengjiang Zhou Village, Anhua Town, Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province. In 1938, he joined the army and became a fighter warrior of the 581 Regiment of the 194th Division of the National Army. He participated in the Ningbo Town Sea Defense Battle, the third Changsha battle, and the battle for the siege of the siege of the siege of Hengyang, and went to the fire.

Such a veteran who died in his life still rely on the income of breeding corn to raise his 70 -year -old disabled son by himself.

In June of the previous year, when Zhuji Caring for the Volunteer Volunteer team condolences to Zhou Lao, he posted a photo of an old man worked on the corn on the corn on the WeChat group. When I saw it, I was very tingling. I asked the team leader Zhou Yong. Send it to 20,000 yuan and tell the elderly to do not plant corn.

The old man thanked him, and asked Zhou Yong to bring me a large bag of corn and homemade hot and sour vegetables. The hot and sour vegetables are very delicious, but the sour in my heart is even more than that.

Zhou Yong posted relevant information in the group. The brothers and sisters in the group said that the flowers and thumbs said a lot of praise to me. In response, I sent a sentence in the group:

With his own strength, do things with conscience.

A few days later, I posted a Weibo and said Zhou Changcan's difficulties. Immediately, a lady named Ni Nan who named Ni Nan said that although she was engaged in ordinary work, she was willing to fund 1,000 yuan and join our Zhuji volunteers. In the team, I asked the team to send this one to the elderly. Later, a wage earner named Liu Heping in Nanchong, Sichuan, also remitted 600 yuan. I said that the veterans had been arranged, but he insisted that I took the transfer to the veteran.

Ms. Zhu Zhihui of Zhuji CCB, Zhuji Agricultural Bank of China, was also infected by my articles.

There are more and more people who pay attention to this special group. We are very pleased that we feel that we have been thinking and obsession for more than ten years.

Despite the current desires of the world, I always think that in the field of caring for the Anti -Japanese War veterans, it must be a pure land and one -way effort. If you mix and implicit any personal interests in this topic, then, if you say a little more, Tianlei wants to split.

I think: everything we do is to make up for the debate of a group of heroes and children who are loyal to the country! Although the power of the people is very small, some people do better than no one. Do it, we are at ease.

Prior to 2017, I was sporadic funding for individual veterans. The only requirement for the caring veterans of any team and propagating the anti -Japanese war donation was: Don't mention my name.

Because I think: this is to make redemption with conscience, and give the veterans of the wind candle years with the last warmth and dignity. I don't need to know others, and I don't want to be famous for this.

In the past two years, my thoughts have changed, because my humble text "Looking for Fluttering Souls" has caused a huge social response. I also specially invested in the expedition to the Chinese Expeditionary Army. The descendants of famous generals came to the hotel to hold a paid tribute exhibition of large -scale Chinese expeditionary military images. The reputation is out of reputation. If you want to cover up, you can't hide it. And my behavior can drive more people to care for the veterans and the history. I met the volunteers because of reading my article, and I was pleased. So I told the volunteer team: We act with our conscience, and we do n’t have to cover up.

Zhuji City in 2018 was 30 veterans, 25 in 2019, 18 in 2020, and only 17 in 2021. The veterans are gradually withering. We are racing with time to do redemption.

Since 2018, I have said: Far people may not be able to control all of them. At least Zhuji veterans, 10,000 per person each year until they all come up the mountain.

In the past four years, I fulfilled all my promises.

In addition, all the funding for all other anti -Japanese war veterans in the province's anti -Japanese war veterans, led by Zhejiang Province's Caring for the Anti -Japanese War veterans and the flying heroes of the Flying Tigers, also provided the most powerful financial guarantee.

From childhood to age, all the things I promised have never lost their trust in others, and there will be no exceptions.

I think: the public's evaluation of a person not only listened to what he said, but more importantly, how long he did and how long it was.

The ancients said: Listen to his words and watch it. This is the truth.
