Heroic deeds with national spirit

This old man named Zhang Huilin is 73 years old. Before he retired, he was the chairman of the labor union of Zaozhuang Power Supply Company (formerly Electric Power Bureau). At the end of 1993, Zhang Huilin was unwilling to be at leisure after retirement. She picked up the camera and video camera, walked into the military camp, into the enterprise, into the mountain village, into the school, and began to interview Yingmo's deeds and search for stories of heroes and heroes. Up to now, more than 80 feature films/kloc-0 have been produced, some of which are collected by China People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall.

Not long ago, Zhang Huilin went to Shanting for an interview. Wang Xingtai, a 93-year-old man from Xiaowangzhuang Village, told him a story:1One day in March 1940, more than 500 people from the Sulu detachment of the Eighth Route Army came to Xiaowangzhuang and were surrounded by more than 800 Japanese devils. A company commander with more than 20 soldiers had a fight with snipers on the mountain in the north of the village to cover the troops' breakthrough. After several hours of fierce fighting, the devils set up steel guns to bombard the hills, and the company commander and seven soldiers died heroically, leaving no complete bones. After the battle, Wang Xingtai and other villagers picked up the rubble on the hillside and buried eight martyrs on the spot. For more than 60 years, no one knows the names of these eight martyrs. They have been lying quietly in this hot land of fighting. ...

After returning to Zaozhuang from Wangzhuang, Zhang Huilin couldn't sleep well. He said to his wife, Yue Meiwu, "Let's use our pension to repair the grave and set up a monument to the martyrs!" But also to let future generations remember their heroic deeds forever and the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese aggressors against the people of China! "My wife is very much in favor of it. Before Qingming this year, Zhang Huilin found the village cadres in Xiaowangzhuang and talked about his ideas. The villagers were very moved, and they all said: You take money to put materials, and we will be volunteers! So, Zhang Huilin and his wife took out 6000 yuan pension to buy materials. The villagers built a wall more than one meter high for each martyr's tomb with cement, sand ash and masonry. In addition to erecting a monument for each martyr, they also erected a large stone tablet for eight martyrs, which read the inscription "Monument to the Unknown Martyr of the Anti-Japanese War".

On the morning of April 5, Lao Zhang Man Huilin and the villagers held a simple ceremony to unveil a monument for the tomb of the martyrs.
