Most Chinese people's Volunteer Army veterans were discharged in the mid-1980s. In the era of planned economy, their pension was very good. At that time, my apprentice's salary was only more than 20 yuan/month, and my old father's pension was 105 yuan/month (calculated according to the eighth grade of workers), which was raised to 164 yuan/month in/988. From the income and treatment, we can see that our party and government really care about them. Whether defending the motherland or building a new China, it is impossible for everyone to be a martyr and a model worker, but they have made indelible contributions to the great cause of the new China of the Chinese nation, so our party and government have not forgotten them and given them a happy and peaceful old age. The living consumption level before the 1990s can't be compared with the current living consumption level, especially they can enjoy free medical care and public housing treatment. Since1990s, with the transition to a market economy, the country's economic construction has undergone tremendous changes. The wages of enterprise employees and enterprise employees have increased because of their respective unit benefits, and the fate of Chinese people's Volunteer Army veterans and enterprise employees is also linked. I understand that some veterans, who enjoyed the treatment of retired cadres before 1949+00, still enjoy the medical policy of expense reimbursement. Pensions for retired cadres: about 1800 yuan/month, 1 100 yuan/month, 3,000 yuan/month, etc. It is said that there are veterans' pensions in Chinese people's Volunteer Army as low as 200 yuan/month, after 1950: about 400 yuan/month, 600 yuan/month, 800 yuan/month. Veteran units with high income have good benefits, while veteran units with low income have poor benefits. If the veteran unit goes bankrupt, it should be your own bad luck. The civil affairs department doesn't care. The retirement policy for demobilized cadres has been implemented well, but some local governments still turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye. The current living standard and medical reform really hurt these poor veterans. Most of them are in poor health. The monthly medical expenses alone are a lot of expenses. Although they have also made up their wages in the past two years, they may have played a great role. It is this kind of subsidy that has been withheld by some local governments and failed to be distributed to veterans, especially the poor wives who caused them trouble after the death of veterans. Most of them have no jobs. When the veterans died, my wife's pension was only about 160 yuan/month. Veteran widows can still live without the help of their children. In the mid-1980s, veterans' pensions could support their families, so my father was very proud. 600 yuan's pension can hardly support his life now. When the old man is sick, the cost of basic medicine is a big expense every month. When they get sick, they can't get medical insurance at all, mainly because they have no money to see a doctor. My father is.
Chinese people's Volunteer Army veterans are still alive, and they are all over 70 years old. How many years can they live?
We, the senior elders, fought for the cause of the Party and our great country, whether in the War of Liberation or in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and defend our country. Our elders have done their duty to train party member! They risked their lives in the Korean battlefield at that time. Their company didn't ask them to go, and they wouldn't risk their lives for the company. Therefore, the welfare of their company should not affect the reasonable retirement benefits of veterans' elders. Our government really doesn't care about them in this respect. Since 1990s, they haven't received reasonable retirement benefits for 16 years. Even if Chinese people's Volunteer Army veterans die, their wives should get reasonable compensation from the government.
