Shanxi 90-year-old veteran, lost his identity, what happened?

China is a country with a long history, vast territory and rich natural and cultural resources. In the past, many countries extended their claws to China, trying to occupy China's resources, so they often waged wars against China. The most painful war in history was the Japanese invasion of China in modern times. The whole China was plunged into the mire for a while, and many people were displaced and homeless. It was the darkest period that China experienced. However, later, the people of the whole country United as one, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and many people shed blood for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, so many heroes of the Anti-Japanese War also appeared during the Anti-Japanese War.

For these heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, fame and fortune are not the most precious. The most precious thing is the memories on the battlefield. When you look at your military documents or medals, you will miss your youth. However, a 90-year-old veteran in Shanxi, unable to verify his identity because of his lost documents, pointed to the photos in the museum and said, This is me. What's going on here?

The 90-year-old man's name is Hao Zhiquan, from Tao Yang Village, Shanxi Province, 16 years old 1944. He was high-spirited and vowed to drive the Japanese out of China, so he resolutely joined the Eighth Route Army. Later, he was assigned to the 385th Brigade of129th Division, and later became the bodyguard of the independent battalion commander of the 385th Brigade. He pointed to the photos in the museum, which were taken by Hao Zhiquan and the battalion commander.

At that time, Hao Zhiquan participated in Shangdang Campaign and Taiyuan Campaign and won. The fiercest battle was the battle of Taiyuan. Hao Zhiquan fought against the enemy in this campaign and lost many comrades. Hao Zhiquan was lucky to survive, but he was also seriously injured. These two battles impressed the old man the most. Now the old man still remembers the details of the battle, which is of great significance.

Later, the Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender and won the Anti-Japanese War. The old man also listened to the call of the state and took an acre of land home to work with peace of mind. In the eyes of others, he is an ordinary farmer, and the old man has never mentioned his identity. He usually doesn't talk much and lives a simple life. No one associates him with the word hero. The old man has always had a photo with the battalion commander. Every time I see this photo, it seems that he has returned to the past eventful years. Later, the old man who developed red culture in the county handed the photos to the museum.

Because of moving many times, the old man lost his documents, so he didn't have any documents to prove that he was an anti-Japanese war veteran, and he didn't enjoy the preferential treatment given by the state, so he went to the museum for identification. But despite the photos, it is impossible to prove that the person in the photo is him. Because the conditions are very limited, only some yellowed photos are left to recall the past, and now there are not many records about that eventful autumn, which is really a pity. But the old man felt that his life was worth living, because he did what he should do for his country and was very proud.

Although some comrades have come forward to help the elderly confirm their identity, they still can't enjoy the benefits they deserve because they don't have relevant documents. Nowadays, the old people still live in the former adobe house. Their wife has been ill for many years and their only son has died. They have to make a living by farming. After hearing about the situation of the old man, the good-hearted people spontaneously went to visit the old man and help him.

The unsung hero has been living a quiet and peaceful life in obscurity. Half the credit for the development of our society goes to these heroes of the older generation. Without them, there would be no present development. They tell the world what patriotism is with their words and deeds. History is not only history, but also a belief, which embodies the unity and perseverance of the people of China. History should not be forgotten. We should remember history and national humiliation and revitalize China. There are many heroes like Hao Zhiquan. What they care about is not fame and fortune, but the prosperity of the country. At the most critical moment of the country, they were in danger. This spirit is worth learning.

Living in modern society, we live a stable life and can't understand the feelings of their older generation. We can only understand that hope and glory from the history books. "Don't forget the national humiliation and revitalize China" is not a slogan. Our generation has the responsibility and mission of this generation, and needs to make the country better with practical actions.
