1979, the owner of an American restaurant said to a female tourist from China: I was your prisoner in North Korea.

1979 In the spring, a female tourist traveled to the United States for two months.

Once, at a public event at the White Loughran Museum in new york, a tall man pushed his way through the crowd, holding the hand of a female tourist kindly and saying, "Do you remember me?"

The female tourist was confused by this question. She thought, Don't you have any relatives or friends in America?

Seeing that the female tourist didn't recognize her, the tall man quickly said, "I remember you!" " At the volunteer camp, you gave me a small gift at Christmas! It says "peace". "

It turned out that the tall man was James, a prisoner who didn't want to bring food. And this female tourist is Liu Luzeng, the female translator of the Volunteers.

What Liu Lu never expected was that 28 years later, the prisoner of war actually remembered that special day. This also evoked Liu Lu's memories of that period.

1950, after the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army urgently recruited a group of young translators to join the army in Shanghai. The reason is that during the Korean War, the volunteers could not interrogate the prisoners, and no one could understand the English documents of the prisoners.

Liu Lu, who is studying, once heard that volunteers were recruiting translators in Shanghai, and he also signed up excitedly. I didn't expect to be hired. Volunteers recruited 23 translators in Shanghai, including female translators 10, including Liu Luzeng.

Knowing that Liu Lu was going to work as an interpreter in the Korean battlefield, Liu Luzeng's mother did not support it. She advised her daughter, "The battlefield is a man's home. What do you want with a good book from your daughter's house? "

Liu Lu once moved out of his grandfather Liu's story of fighting against foreign enemies and told his mother a story.

Liu Luzeng's great-grandfather was Liu, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and served as the governor of Sichuan. Her family has hung a portrait of her great-grandfather for generations and is proud of him. Because my great-grandfather's deeds of resisting the law and protecting his family have been passed down from generation to generation, which is well known.

Liu Luzeng's mother is not an ordinary generation. After her mother Wei Wenjun was a noble family, her predecessors had in-laws with Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. Her mother is the only daughter of the Wei family. Before the Anti-Japanese War, she took a dowry of 3,000 silver dollars to the Liu family, the home of officials and businessmen.

The Liu family invested in Qianzhuang and Bucun, and lived in eight three-story buildings, all of which were equipped with running water. Liu Lu lived a pampered life since he was a child.

Mother was worried that Liu Lu could not bear the pain. Liu Lu not only didn't listen to his mother's advice, but also donated his mother's gold bracelets and necklaces to buy airplane cannons for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

If you don't go to North Korea, Liu Luzeng's route is to apply for East China University of Military and Political Affairs. However, as the horn to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country resounded throughout the country, Liu Lu was also full of blood. She resolutely joined the army and went to North Korea.

This teenage girl, ignorant of the cruelty of the battlefield, stepped into the battlefield with a passion.

Without military training, she and her companions hurried from Shanghai by journey to the south in a stuffy tanker. After crossing the Yalu River, she found herself completely in another world: devastated and full of war.

Her heart is not a tight.

She was assigned to the Political Enemy Work Department of the Ninth Corps of the Volunteers (namely the Song Corps). Her main job is to translate English and interrogate prisoners of war.

Liu Lu once recalled: "The regimental headquarters of the Ninth Corps was located on the ruins of a village called Stadium, and the conditions were very difficult."

At that time, it was the third battle, and a lot of English documents and propaganda materials were piled up in the enemy Ministry of Works. The leader asked Liu Luzeng to translate the pile of English documents as soon as possible, pay attention to listening to the enemy station, translate the enemy's whereabouts at any time, and report the situation to his superiors.

Liu Lu once thought that he could not go to war, but just worked as a translator, which was an easy job. When she opened those files, she looked confused. The document is full of military terms, but as a law student, she has never been exposed to these technical terms. How to translate? Liu Lu had no choice but to wipe her tears alone.

Enemy planes circled over the volunteer positions, and seriously injured volunteer soldiers were carried down from the front line every day. Liu Lu once looked at those volunteers who were seriously injured, and they all gritted their teeth. No one cried and wiped away tears. Feeling guilty, she wiped away her tears, borrowed a dictionary from other comrades-in-arms, and began to classify and copy some military terms in her notebook, making frantic tutoring.

After a period of hard work, when she was competent for the job, she was not only no longer melodramatic, but also full of sense of accomplishment.

With the advance of the war, the Ninth Corps will March in the direction of the 38th parallel, marching 90 miles a day, all on foot. There is no easy road under your feet. You must climb in mountain roads and cross in waterways. In addition to their own luggage, everyone has to bring five kilograms of rice.

In Shanghai, Liu Luzeng of go on road trip got a blood bubble on his foot, which hurt when he took one step, and he fell behind the team and almost fell behind. The kind comrade didn't give up on her, but pulled a cow and let it take her away.

When she arrived at the camp, the soldiers took care of her back. In order to help her lighten the burden, they first took off the rice from her and cooked it. More hot water will come out to help her wash her feet and break the blood bubbles on her feet.

Not only is it dangerous in the war, but the natural environment is even worse. Volunteers need to fight the enemy and the weather. Liu Lu once couldn't imagine that it was snowing and the temperature was over 40 degrees below zero. She works in a bomb shelter. Her waist is cold, her feet are cold, and she suffers from arthritis.

Once, the mountain was closed by heavy snow, and the bomb shelter was sealed by heavy snow. Liu Luzeng and the soldiers couldn't get out, and outsiders couldn't find the hole. They almost suffocated in it. In danger, she and other soldiers dug snow in the air-raid shelter. When the soldiers outside heard the noise, they found the hole and rescued them.

Another summer, there was a mudslide. At that time, Liu Lu was translating in a cabin by the river, and only heard the rumbling sound. The chief of the enemy engineering department is more experienced, so he quickly lifted two tree trunks and put them on the river, yelling at her, "Run! Run! " She followed the section chief across the river in despair and climbed a hillside. Looking back, she saw that the hut where they worked had been washed down by the mudslide, and the river just now suddenly became a big river. In an instant, the whole village was flooded.

After repeated struggles with the enemy and repeated confrontations with nature, Liu Lu also grew from a sentimental aristocratic family to a determined warrior.

When marching in a hurry, she stopped dragging her feet and walked into the middle of the team. When she meets a prisoner of war, she can also conduct a trial alone.

After the fifth battle, another batch of prisoners of war came down from the front. They are unkempt, some are on crutches, some are tied with bandages, and some are covered with military blankets, so it is difficult to hide their embarrassment.

Liu Lu once interrogated them one by one to find out their basic situation, unit, name, rank and title, and made registration, arrangement and accommodation arrangements.

At that time, mountain transportation was very difficult, and volunteers had to carry their own food to the logistics department ten miles away. What's more, the sudden increase of so many prisoners of war has increased the pressure on food demand and made it difficult to transport food.

So the leaders decided that in addition to the wounded and sick, the rest of the prisoners of war also participated in carrying food. But prisoners of war are unwilling to obey orders. Some of them hide in the toilet and refuse to come out, while others lie under the covers and can't get up.

Some soldiers were very angry and shouted, "They didn't even bring food. Who can carry it for them? I think we should escort them with guns to see if they are good? "

Because it does not conform to the policy of preferential treatment for prisoners, the leaders disapprove of carrying guns, thinking that doing so will only encourage the opposition of prisoners of war.

When Liu Lu saw this, he volunteered to do persuasion. Liu Lu once found several activists among prisoners of war and asked them to take the lead. Then call a meeting of all prisoners of war and tell them the lenient policy of the volunteers.

After Liu Luzeng's persuasion, people who didn't want to carry rice before stood up obediently and lined up in the team carrying rice.

Liu Luzeng's outstanding performance was praised by the leaders.

From 1952 to 10, Liu Lu was transferred from the Political Enemy Engineering Department of the Ninth Corps to the enemy engineering regiment of the Political Department of the 24th Army who just entered the Korean War as an English translator.

1 1 After the Battle of Shangganling in June, just before Christmas, the volunteer soldiers who fought on the front line of the "38th parallel" urgently needed an English propagandist who could shout to the enemy in the front position and use Christmas to launch a psychological offensive against the enemy.

The 24th Army originally wanted to find a male translator to go to the front to make a propaganda, but gay men generally only do translation, but they can't translate. At this time, Liu Lu once stood up and said, "I will go."

When the leader saw that Liu Lu was a lesbian, he hesitated to let her go to the front. But when she saw Liu Lu's heroic momentum, she agreed.

At this time, Liu Luzeng is no longer the Shanghai Miss Jiao who just entered the DPRK, but a soldier with two years of war experience. Her face was not afraid at all, and her eyes were firm.

Liu Lu once took the lead in organizing a propaganda team of seven people, with a small hand-cranked generator and a set of high-power speakers. Among them, Liu Lu is responsible for broadcasting in English, four volunteers are responsible for protecting wires from being blown off, and two Korean People's Army soldiers take turns to generate electricity by hand.

From the 24th Army Command to the frontier command post, there are several enemy blockade lines, and the last one is also called "Valley of Death", even the grass was blown up by the enemy. As a blockade tightly controlled by the enemy, the enemy will shoot here every seven minutes.

The enemy wants to cut off the logistics supply of the volunteers through the "valley of death" and trap our volunteers in the mountains. Even under such strict control, volunteers have found a way to deal with it.

When the enemy kept pouring steel into the blockade, our volunteers also sent a steel transport team. They began to deliver food to the front every night when the night was dim. They groped for the enemy's law of firing guns, and as soon as the guns stopped, they immediately rushed through the blockade of this "valley of death" like an arrow.

Liu Luzeng's propaganda team followed the motorcade and also passed through the "Valley of Death".

At that time, there was a saying that it belonged to the US military during the day and the volunteers at night.

Liu Lu once took the team through the blockade and came to the tunnel ahead. Her tweeter has long been installed in a bunker on the mountain by border guards. At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Lu used to broadcast to the enemy on time every day until one o'clock in the morning.

As time gets closer to Christmas, there will be fewer and fewer guns at the front. Especially at night, it is quieter. The whole valley echoed with Liu Luzeng's voice and the lingering homesickness from that voice.

The enemy listened intently and remembered Liu Luzeng's voice. Liu Lu used to confuse the enemy with his voice. Even when the troops were relieved, Liu Lu kept broadcasting, so that the enemy did not know the movement of our army.

After the premiere, Liu Lu once returned along another road. I thought it was a hidden road, but I didn't expect the enemy to add a five-mile blockade there, which was very dense.

Liu Lu and running all the way, the leading volunteer, ran for half an hour before running out of the blockade. After returning to our bunker, the soldiers looked at her in surprise and asked, "How can you have such intensive firepower?"

Liu Lu once recalled his life and death days, and couldn't help feeling: the power of faith is really powerful, not only a street lamp when he is confused, but also a way to overcome fear.

1On July 23rd, 953, just as our volunteers were preparing to attack the opposite hill, they suddenly received a notice of truce from their superiors.

Liu Luzeng's voice just fell and the soldiers in the tunnel were jubilant. They lifted Liu Luzeng, who was standing in front of the horn, and shouted, "We won!"

The day after the armistice agreement came into effect, Liu Lu and her comrades were ordered to go down the mountain, and she finally didn't have to worry about bullets going down the mountain. Seeing water in a small pit at the foot of the mountain, Liu Lu and his comrades rushed to wash their hands, faces and hair in ecstasy. She can't remember how long it's been since she washed her hair and face.

After coming to North Korea for so long, Liu Lu felt the warm and lovely sunshine and fresh and pleasant air for the first time, which is the taste of peace.

Time flies, and it's 1979. It's been 28 years since the end of the Korean War. As a foreign affairs worker, Liu Lu received a new task. She will accompany 86-year-old famous educator Dr. Wu Yifang to visit the United States for two months.

At a public event in the Bailuolong Museum in new york, a tall man came over and cordially shook Liu Luzeng's hand to say hello to her.

Before Liu Lu could tell who it was, the other party quickly said, "You don't remember me, but I remember you! I am your prisoner of war in the volunteer camp, and you sent me a small pin that says' peace'. "

It turned out that this tall man was James, who was taken to the prison camp by the Ninth Corps. At the age of 22, he committed a crime by stealing someone else's car. He volunteered to go to the Korean battlefield for a year. I didn't expect to be a prisoner just after I went to the battlefield.

After being captured, he didn't want to take part in carrying food. When Liu Lu went to see him, he happened to have a fever. Liu Lu once invited a war doctor to treat him, and he was able to recover.

One day, Liu Lu passed by the prison camp and saw a soldier scraping James' nose. Liu Lu immediately stepped forward to stop it, because our army's preferential treatment policy for prisoners of war stipulated that the personality of prisoners of war should not be insulted.

Unexpectedly, treating diseases and shaving nose left an unforgettable impression on James. James, who is near middle age, has become the owner of an American restaurant. He also specially invited Liu Lu to his restaurant to get together. At that time, Liu Luzeng's itinerary was full and he didn't go.

The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea left a deep impression on our volunteers and the US military.

After the victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Liu Lu has been engaged in foreign affairs, and he has been retiring since he reached retirement age. That soldier's perseverance has penetrated into her bone marrow.

Until her later years, in Nanjing, she participated in various activities to commemorate the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, presented the spirit of war to the audience incisively and vividly, and won many medals.

The victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea forged the great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aid Korea, and showed the world the national will of the people of China who are not afraid of violence. It is our precious spiritual wealth, which deserves our continuous promotion and inheritance.
