Veteran never die

Chapter 162 [For whom the trouser legs are covered in mud and the back of the clothes is soaked in sweat]

0161 【For whom, mud covered trouser legs, sweat drenched back】

"Today, I will focus on two people, the two most representative people." Wang Liang continued.

"First, his name is Li Xiangqun."

After Wang Liang revealed his name, there was movement in the comment area.

"I really know this. When I was in junior high school, the school issued a pamphlet introducing his heroic deeds. It was almost 20 years ago. I guess few people born in the 90s now know about it."

"I vaguely remember such a person, but I can't remember clearly about him. It's been too long. In those years, it was often reported, and now"

"I remember, from the general to the soldiers, they were all risking their lives."

"Li Xiangqun, a great soldier, although you were only 20 years old when you sacrificed, you will always live in the hearts of my family and me. ——From a child who was rescued by an uncle of the People's Liberation Army during the flood in [-]."

"Family poverty produces filial sons, and national disasters produce good generals. The floods of that year caused many people to suffer. The soldiers on the front line of the flood fight risked their lives to save the lives and property of the people. We only remember these empty cliches. I hope the old chief Can let us know the deeds of heroes!"

While the comment area was active, Wang Liang tuned out a song on the flood fighting column.

"For whom"

A song composed to commemorate and celebrate the heroes who fought hard in the 1998 catastrophic flood.

Zeng Hong traveled all over the world.

Wang Liang: "Every time I hear Zu Hai sing this song, tears can't stop flowing down my face. How can I understand the hardships of fighting the flood in 1998 if I don't experience it myself?"

"Heroes who participated in the [-] flood fight? Who else knows who you are now?"

【Mud covered trouser legs】

【Sweat drenched the back of my clothes】

【I do not know who you are】

【But I know who you are for】

【For whom】

【For the autumn harvest】

【For the return of spring and wild geese】

【Sing full of passion and no regrets in youth】

【Looking at the end of the world, I don't know when my comrades will return】

The familiar melody sounded again, the familiar lyrics lingered in my ears again, and the combatants back then couldn't help crying.

Come to think of it, those tears came for the sacrificed comrades in arms, for that difficult time.

【Who are you】

【For whom】

[When will you come back, my comrade in arms]

【Who are you】

【For whom】

【My brothers and sisters do not shed tears】

【Who is the most beautiful】

【Who is the most tired】

【My folks, my comrades in arms】

【My brothers and sisters】

Accompanied by the song "For Whom", which sang the dedication and sense of mission of the soldiers in the peaceful age, the gratitude of the people of the whole country to the people's soldiers, and the affectionate unity of the army and the people, Wang Liang began to tell the story of Li Xiangqun. .

"I can tell you directly that Comrade Li Xiangqun's family background is not poor. His family is in Hai Province. It is not considered rich and powerful, but food and clothing can always be guaranteed. In [-], ten thousand The era of yuan households is over, what about million households?"

Since Wang Liang wants to tell, he has to tell some stories that others don't know.

"At that time, Xiang Qun's family already had a million households. His mother and sister ran a clothing business, and the family owned two clothing factories. His father and elder brother were engaged in transportation, and the family had six trucks alone. .”

In 98, the monthly salary of civil servants was only 500 yuan.

"It's no exaggeration to say that Xiang Qun is an out-and-out rich second generation!"

Wang Liang: "Because the family business was too busy, Xiang Qun, who had just graduated from junior high school, followed his father to learn driving and transportation. The father's intention was very obvious, that is to let him take over the family business step by step, but"

But that is not Li Xiangqun's pursuit in life, what attracts him more is the fiery military life.

At that time, being a soldier was no longer something that was out of reach.

After enlisting in the army, Li Xiangqun devoted himself to learning, whether it was military technology, political theory or scientific culture, he went to learn.

Yes, there was no Internet in those days, and there were fewer temptations, so I could calm down.

But have you ever thought about it, Li Xiangqun is a rich second generation, he can choose to live a comfortable and comfortable life.

He did not.

In the army, he participated in legal correspondence study and was rated as an outstanding student.

He practiced military skills hard, and in the assessment of [-] training subjects, [-] were excellent, and he was a well-deserved training top.

He is a soldier of the special zone, but he is not a special soldier.

He is not a party member who trains the backbone, but he demands himself by the standards of a party member.

When the training of comrades in the class could not keep up, he analyzed the reasons and helped formulate training plans.

The comrade-in-arms was not good at throwing bombs, so he used bricks and wooden sticks to help his comrades make an arm swinger.

He couldn't jump the 400-meter obstacle short wall, so he bought cloth to make sandbags and asked his comrades to tie them to his legs to practice his jumping ability.

Not only that, he also repeatedly explained the essentials of the movements to his comrades and demonstrated standard movements.

With the help of Li Xiangqun, the comrades-in-arms all passed the lame subjects.

Although Li Xiangqun's family is rich, his life is very frugal.

In the army, he made a plan for himself, and the living expenses of each Vietnamese should not exceed ten yuan. ,

What's left, save it and use it wisely.

The father of his comrade-in-arms was critically ill and was hospitalized. When Li Xiangqun learned about it, he immediately took out all his savings of 400 yuan.

The army was working outside, and Li Xiangqun found a child who often wandered around the construction site. After getting to know him, he knew that the child was forced to drop out of school because he could not pay the tuition fees, and picked up some scraps on the construction site to sell.

Li Xiangqun advanced a month's allowance from the chief secretary, and went to school to pay the child's tuition.

Wang Liang said: "There are too many things like this. I don't know Li Xiangqun. These are what his comrades said later. I think he has done many things, but no one knows about them."

In June, the water level of the Li River rose sharply, flooding both sides of the river.

At that time, Li Xiangqun happened to be at home on vacation.

After seeing this news, Li Xiangqun had a vague feeling that his troops, the 75121 troops stationed in Guangxi, were going to participate in flood fighting and rescue.

There's going to be a war!

Li Xiangqun couldn't sit still, so he bought a boat ticket to return to the army that day.

In this way, he left after only eight days of vacation, bid farewell to his parents, brothers and sisters, and left his comfortable and comfortable home.

It never occurred to him that once he left, he never came back.

Wang Liang: "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and celebrities all over the world praise Guilin. When US President Clinton visited China, he proposed to visit Guilin, which he had longed for for a long time. It was only five days before Clinton arrived at the Li River, and because of the floods , the river bank is still full of rubbish, a mess."

After receiving the local government's request for help, the 75121 troops stationed in Guizhou quickly dispatched to clean up the garbage on both sides of the Lijiang River.

After four days and three nights, the rubbish on both sides of the Lijiang River had been cleared up, and when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to take a rest, an emergency order came.
