Before Li Mu came, it was hard to imagine that the old man who was so weak in the photo, and even was about to die, could still be so clear in his thinking logic and speech.

Recalling the eventful years of the year, the old man was extremely excited, and the story of decades was finally listened to, and he himself said it very happily.

The old man was born in 1915, his ancestral home was in southern Anhui, his family was well-off when he was young, and he settled in Hangzhou with his family who was doing business.

In 1934, the old man because of the special obsession with flying, coupled with the family's wealth, so the family paid for the relationship, and sent the old man who did not meet the requirements to the Central Aviation School that was also located in Hangzhou at that time, 37 years after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the old man moved to Yun Province with the school, within a few days, the Japanese invaders launched an attack on Shanghai, and the Battle of Songhu began.

During the Battle of Songhu, the old man's parents fled Jinling with his three brothers and sisters, because the old man's parents felt that Jinling was the capital and there was no safer place in the world than Jinling.

The old man's parents sold all the properties in Hangzhou, fled to Jinling with his brothers and sisters, and settled in Jinling for less than half a year, at the end of 37, the Japanese army captured Nanjing, launching the heinous massacre in human history, the old man's parents, brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother's wife and children, all died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army.

At that time, the old man in Yun Province heard the bad news and completely collapsed, if it wasn't for the robe Ze always paying attention, the old man was afraid that he would have committed suicide to reunite with his family under Jiuquan, but the robe in the army made him understand a truth: the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, his biggest responsibility is not to follow the deceased relatives, but to wait for the opportunity to avenge the deceased relatives and compatriots, and beat the Japanese invaders until the Japanese surrender.

Subsequently, the old man came out of the aviation school and officially became a pilot of the National Air Force, opening a tragic half-life legend.

In 1945, the old man's National Air Force cooperated with the United States to bomb the Japanese mainland, the old man piloted a fighter to cover the American bombers returning from Japan, at that time Japan was in the final madness, the old man was shot down by the Japanese army in an escort, and fell on the skull in the process of parachuting in the mountains, and later was rescued by local villagers with several American pilots, and returned to Spring City for several months, the old man's skull injury was also during that time, because he could not get timely and effective treatment, and fell sequelae, the sequelae had little impact on life, but it was completely no longer suitable to continue to fly fighters.

It is precisely because there is no way to continue to fly the fighter plane, the old man turned to a civilian job, and then married a wife and had children in the local area, the son was born in early 48, a family of three was happy, although this kind of life was bland and happy, but when the liberation was approaching in 49, the national army saw that the general trend had gone, and began to prepare to withdraw to Taiwan.

At that last moment, every kilogram of load on the plane was worth a thousand gold to them, and the leader of the aviation brigade was the winner of the four-star medal during the Anti-Japanese War, and shot down four Japanese fighters, so he deliberately kept a position for the old man on the plane, which was the ultimate he could do.

In their opinion, this one-way ticket is extremely rare, and you have to grasp it no matter what, but Sun Xiaozhong did not accept it, he felt that he had lost all his relatives in 37 years, and it was not until the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression that he had new relatives and the only blood, he could not abandon them and go to Taiwan alone, besides, in his opinion, Taiwan did not yearn for him at all, he wanted to stay in this land where he had fought, and his wife and children together, although in the face of the change of regime, his future was uncertain。

The next thing is that Li Mu had heard of it before, the old man still stayed in the local area after the liberation, was reported in the historical movement, and was repeatedly criticized and reformed through labor, fortunately he lost the opportunity to fly the fighter plane after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, otherwise if he participated in the Liberation War, I am afraid he would suffer a greater disaster in the historical movement.

Talking about this past, the old man was not too sad, he said that he had experienced too much family sadness in his life, after so many years and so many things, even if he didn't want to be numb, he was already numb, his only two regrets, one was that he had no chance to return to Jinling to find the bodies of his relatives and bury them, and the other was that his only son was uncertain about his life and death.

The old man sighed and sighed: "The first regret, it is impossible to make up for half a point in this life, and it can only be repaid by making cattle and horses for them in the next life; ”

The host said: "Please tell us the name, age and relevant information of your wife and son, and we will mobilize netizens from all over the country to help you find their whereabouts with us!"

The old man nodded gratefully: "Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Subsequently, the old man faced the camera and told his wife's name, place of origin, place of birth and date of birth, and then introduced his son, who was born on March 23, 48, the old man named him Sun Lianli, nicknamed Xi'er, the word Xi was taken from the name of the old man's ancestral hometown, when the old man was separated from his wife and children, the son was not yet five years old, so more details about his son, he couldn't recall it, and he couldn't provide it.

The old man has little hope of finding his son or his descendants, but Li Mu feels that the probability of success in this matter is not small, if the old man's son and the old man are four or five years old, then they must have a certain impression of their father and his childhood, he must remember the relevant characteristics of his father, remember the location of his hometown, remember the time he left his father, if his mother can tell him more stories about his father when he was growing up, then he should know more about his father than his father knows about him.

The old man has lived in seclusion in the mountains for so many years, and I don't know if the old man's son has tried to find him, but even if the son is not looking for him, as long as he is still alive, as long as he can receive this video, he must be able to identify his father's identity, so the chance of finding it is still very high.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to find one out of the 1.3 billion population, but for Li Mu, he has such a huge user group as YY and a large number of media resources, so it may not be difficult to find such a person.

So, Li Mu promised the old man: "Senior, rest assured, we will do our best to let the people of the whole country see your interview, know your deeds, know your past, and will definitely broadcast the relevant information of your wife and son, with the help of the people of the whole country, the chance of finding it is still very high!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good, if they are still alive and can look at me, I will die without regrets in my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day and close my eyes." ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Your body and spirit look very good, if you go down the mountain with us to the hospital for a systematic examination and recuperation, your physical condition will definitely be better." ”

The old man waved his hand: " Thank you for your kindness, I have lived here for decades, I am used to it, I have no relatives, no homeland, I can't remember my childhood home in southern Anhui, where the ancestral grave is, I can't find it, the house that lived in Hangzhou was sold by my parents when it was 37 years old, that is just the foothold of our family, not my roots, my parents and brothers and sisters are buried in Jinling, but I don't know where they lived in Jinling when they were alive, I saved money to go to Jinling three times in the early years, but when I arrived in Jinling, I didn't know where to worship them, I could only ask the locals everywhere, I heard that there were mass graves, I bought a bottle of wineI bought knives and paper to worship there, but I can't find their bones in my life, so I don't have roots for a long time, I don't have roots......"

When he said this, the old man seemed to be a lot older all of a sudden, his eyelids hung weakly, and the waist that was trying to straighten just now also stiffened again, he shed two bean-sized muddy tears, sighed, and said: "The old saying is that fallen leaves return to the roots, I didn't believe it when I was young, I thought it was an old feudal thought, but the longer I lived, the more I wanted to find a root for myself, but I couldn't find the roots of my own ancestors, and I couldn't find the roots of my parents, I have lived here for so many years, so this is my roots." ”

Liu Xin hurriedly said: "Senior, the medical conditions outside the mountain are good, and the recuperation conditions are also good, which can allow you to raise your body and bones better, so that you can live longer, and in case your son finds it in the future, you are outside the mountain, he can also go to meet you." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "I am eighty-eight years old, and I have lived long enough to this day, people, sometimes living too long is not a blessing, but a torment, I don't want to live for many more years, I just want to be able to swallow my last breath here, if I breathe in other places, no matter how good the environment is, no matter how good the conditions are, that is not my root; if I can really find my son in the future, I will bother him to read the father and son, come and see me, and if I die, come and add soil to my grave, this mountain, I will not go out again." ”

Liu Xin burst into tears and said: "Even if you can't find your son when you go out, you can enjoy it, you have worked hard here for so many years, and the society owes you so much, you must always give the society a chance to make up for it......"

The old man said with a smile: "The society doesn't owe me anything, those brothers in the robes who fought side by side back then, they all wanted to resist and serve the country, serve the country, and serve the country, just like filial piety to their parents, it is our responsibility and obligation to be born, and it is we who have not fulfilled our responsibilities to let the Japanese come in and run rampant for so many years. ”

Liu Xin hurriedly said: "Don't say that......"

The old man said seriously: "What I said is from the bottom of my heart, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, many soldiers think so, especially when the post-war war losses are counted again and again, overturned by new numbers again and again, and the number of casualties continues to accumulate again and again, we will feel that we owe this nation too much, if we fight more back then, maybe we can make this number less, if we were benevolent at the beginning, this number may be less, Cao Zhi said, donating his life to the country, seeing death as if he were home, this is the true portrayal of us at that time……”

Liu Xin saw that the old man was unmoved, so anxious that she couldn't cry, the purpose of coming was to persuade the old man to leave here no matter what, but no matter what she said, she couldn't change the old man's decision at all, which made her not only have a deep sense of frustration, but also blame herself in the bottom of her heart.

I don't know what to do, Liu Xin looked at Li Mu with a pair of eyes asking for help, his eyes were full of pleading and expectation, hoping that Li Mu could think of a way to persuade the old man to go down the mountain.

Li Mu didn't know what to do.

Let the old man go to the big city to recuperate and have better living conditions, and the old man will not be moved; let the old man go out and wait for the whereabouts of his son, but the old man will still be unmoved; when he hopes to compensate the old man for the whole society, the old man will feel that he owes himself to this nation, what can he do at this time?

A thought flashed in Li Mu's mind, although the old man had been to Jinling in the early years to look for the bones of his relatives, but at that time, it was estimated that the Holocaust Memorial Hall had not yet been built, and the Holocaust Memorial Hall was only built 20 years ago, where there were the most detailed relevant files, one was to take the old man over to check the whereabouts of his relatives, and the other was to let the old man pay tribute to his relatives in the memorial hall, but thinking about it, Li Mu still gave up.

The old man is too old, that kind of bloody atrocity, don't let him experience it in another way.

But what else could move him and convince him?

Li Mu also fell into hard meditation.

After a while, Li Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pulled Liu Xinxin over, and asked her, "Is there a list of Flying Tiger members that have been found so far?"

"Yes. Liu Xin said: "I have some printed materials in my bag. ”

"Take it out. ”

Liu Xin hurriedly took out a folded list from his bag, some of these lists were very detailed, some were very vague, detailed information about the name, date of birth, place of origin, current residence and previous position, vague only one name and an approximate range of residence.

Li Mu handed the list to the old man and said, "Senior, this is the surviving Flying Tigers and the Air Force pilots that we have found so far, look at the names on this, are you familiar with them?"

The old man became excited all of a sudden, and took the list and wanted to read it carefully, but because the words on it were too small to read, he couldn't make it clear, so he could only look at Li Mu with pleading eyes, and couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Young man, I can't see clearly, you can read it for me!"

"Okay!" Li Mu saw that the old man was so excited, and he knew in his heart that this matter was eighty percent, so he took the list and read it one name after another.

"Chen Zhengbu, Li Quanyin, Huang Zizhong......"

Every time he read a name, the old man had to frown and think about it for a long time, but every time he shook his head regretfully.

It wasn't until Li Mu read a name that the old man suddenly trembled with excitement.

"Say it again, what's his name?"

"Han Zili, the son of the heir, the upright. ”

"Zili, Zili is still alive?"
