Section 358 Veterans will never die, but will gradually wither away [4,000 words]

"Isn't it a good thing to be sharp?"

A craftsman coldly reprimanded, although Lin Li's jade carving group has several creative jade carving styles, but Lin Li's has not yet reached the unshakable height of Qin Hezhou, and most craftsmen stand up and criticize.

"Works come first, and I haven't even learned how to be a person, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make any top-notch works. ”

With this attitude, you can know that the work is also half a catty. ”

"I don't even have basic virtues, so don't come out and mislead collectors. ”

Condemnation has arisen one after another.

This group of jade carvers is also very interesting, they can't find a point of criticism in terms of skills, and they can't find a point of criticism in terms of creativity, so they begin to criticize character and crown them with trumped-up crimes.

said it more and more ugly, and it simply rendered Lin Li a heinous sinner.

"Seven thousand years of jade carving culture, cut off on this kid!"

"If you don't stop this kid, jade carving will have to be reduced to a vulgar flattering art!"

There are jade carvers who hate it.

Looked at.

The president of the Chinese Jade Carving Association sighed helplessly.

No matter what the industry, there is a collision between the new and the old.

Upstarts have to break through many obstacles.

The old nobility will be obstructed at all costs, and once it fails, it will be ruthlessly eliminated.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two, and one is bound to decline.

Therefore.

In order to protect their own interests, they all tried their best to accuse each other.

For this kind of controversy, it seems to be a dispute over morality, works, and life, but in the final analysis, it is all interests!

Otherwise, who has the time to waste their tongues?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the hundreds of schools of thought that debated for ideals were long gone.

In the convention and exhibition center, there are very few jade carvers who really struggle for art and win the red face.

Otherwise, there will be only a few famous teachers in the entire jade carving circle.

Some are 'skilled workers' at best.

Ancestors carved flowers and birds, grandfathers carved flowers and birds, fathers carved flowers and birds, and it was their turn to carve flowers and birds.

Ancestors carved Buddha statues, grandfathers carved Buddha statues, fathers carved Buddha statues, and when it was their turn, they also carved Buddha statues.

The son inherits the father's business.

Unalterable. Just stay the same, and the aesthetics will also stay in the era of ancestral carving, holding a book that has been circulated for hundreds of years as capital.

Then, when he was dozens of years old and had qualifications, he began to rely on the old and sell the old, and with an old-fashioned attitude, he intervened in the young jade carvers who created enterprising.

This is the 'skilled worker', also known as the old thief.

But.

There are some things that you know but can't puncture.

So the president of the Chinese Jade Carving Association chose not to say a word.

Qin Huai frowned.

Last time, a jade carver made things difficult for his apprentice, but he stopped him.

This time again?

Old man Yuan Longping let you eat enough, you have nothing to do, is it here to reverse black and white?

Qin Huai shook his head, he was already impatient, so he slowly got up and walked to the front of the stage leisurely.

Eyes wander for a week.

Controversy...... Like a tidal wave, it slowly recedes.

Qin Huai smiled slowly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I still have a date with Robin, so I lost my company first." ”

With that, he walked straight outside the convention center.

After taking two steps, he paused at the door, looked back at Lu Xiaoyu, Lin Li, and Jiang Ran, relaxed and calm: "You guys also go together, go home and have a cup of tea with the old man, insert a flower, read a page, and practice jade carving skills......

That's it.

Qin Huai went on a date with his robin.

Only the room was full of astonishment and staring at each other.

Dating a robin?

It's winter, where are you dating a robin?

Just find an excuse to leave!

I'm afraid I have a date with a robin = I don't want to listen to you BB anymore.

The jade carving craftsmen were speechless and speechless, which is really a fresh and elegant excuse.

Qin Huai left.

Back home.

It's not to escape the chaos.

It's that Shang Meiren has a better way to force these jade carvers to change, and even say that if they don't change, they will be eliminated, and they will give way to better, more energetic, and more thoughtful jade carvers.

Therefore, Qin Huai didn't take these diehard jade carvers to heart at all, and was even more lazy to explain.

……

These days.

Qin Huai was writing a proposal to protect the war memorial, day and night, and he worked tirelessly.

There are many ideas, and the proposal was passed very quickly, after all, the importance of martyrs is increasing.

But.

Because Qin Huai listed too many protection measures.

It has not been able to fully pass.

Qin Huai proposed the construction of an oral museum of surviving veterans of the war.

The veterans' personal accounts of the war are recorded in 1510 and stored in the museum, and the real oral accounts of thousands of veterans are used to restore the history stained with blood and tears.

Use the most authentic side of history to let future generations remember it in their hearts.

But.

It can't be done.

Qin Huai frowned, sat at the desk, the moonlight shining on his body, and his body was still full.

What is written on the table is very thick.

This is also his work, just like Mr. Zhu protects the canal, Qin Huai is also doing the same thing.

The canal is not going away.

But the old soldier will wither!

What Qin Huai has to do is even more urgent.

Because there are fewer and fewer veterans who have experienced the war.

In 2008 walked 2 veterans.

In 2009 there were 17 gone.

In 2010 81 went.

In 2011, 87 were gone.

In 2012, 271 were gone.

In 2013, 378 were gone.

On the 9.6 million square kilometers of China's land territory,

Only a few thousand veterans of the War of Resistance are still alive.

The youngest is 84 years old.

The oldest is over 98 years old.

In the near future, they will all be gone, and Qin Huai needs to race against time.

If all the veterans withered.

So.

Henceforth.

There will be no more veterans to tell this humiliating history for a nation.

"I decided to pay for this out of my own pocket. ”

Qin Huai's face was solemn and he asked Shang Ya's opinion.

"Do what you want!"

Shang Ya smiled, she would only support Qin Huai with all her might.

"Good!"

Qin Huai made up his mind.

The next day, he began to try his best to find the veteran who disappeared into the sea of people.

[I saw a lot of sacrificed soldiers in the XX Martyrs Cemetery, their lives are fixed at around the age of twenty, so far, there are still one hundred and thirty martyrs' families who have not appeared in the grave sweeping team, I think they may have encountered difficulties, I hope that some netizens can tell me, how many veterans are still left in your place, who are they, and tell me the specific address. I hope to do my part to find the relatives of the 130 martyrs. 】

[Veterans will never die, but they are withering, please help us so that we can know where the veterans are......]

Shang Ya posted two updates in a row through the platform, accompanied by General MacArthur's words: Veterans will never die, they will only gradually wither, and in this way, he launched a request for help from all fans.

After all, there are 30 million followers.

If it can be harnessed, it is definitely an extremely huge force!

Seeing the dynamics, fans were stunned at first, but they didn't expect Qin Huai's little brother to 'not do his job' now, and he would run to do other things?

But then they understood.

Qin Huai's little brother, who can cast a work like "Face Me Seriously", has an unparalleled sense of social responsibility.

That work is not greedy for word of mouth, but really to do practical things.

Time.

Many netizens have expressed their support for Qin Huai, and began to pay attention to the elderly around them, intentionally or unintentionally, asking whether they are veterans, or understanding the dynamics and whereabouts of veterans.

Some netizens even went to the countryside to help.

In the next two months, Qin Huai received countless messages about veterans.

Shang Ya specially hired a team to integrate these messages, and then asked the team to follow Qin Huai to the homes of those veterans who had witnessed a piece of history.

That's a precious piece of history.

The dictates of the veterans are invaluable.

If the veterans really withered.

This history has really dissipated in the long river of time.

Therefore, Qin Huai was very anxious, and hurriedly ran with the team and offered a high salary, just so that the team could seize the time.

Sometimes, when Qin Huai arrived, the veteran was already dead.

At that time, Qin Huai was so desperate that he wanted to cry.

Every veteran is a museum, and a museum collapsed with a bang, and it was too late to salvage a piece of tiles from it!

What a heartache!

Based on this, Qin Huai became more and more hurried.

One month.

Two months.

Trimester.

Half.

year.

Two years.

Three years.

Qin Huai went from twenty-five years old to twenty-eight years old.

The work of recording the oral accounts of veterans and salvaging the dusty history has never stopped.

Among the veterans he interviewed were veterans of the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the guerrillas, as well as veterans of the Guo Party.

In three years, his team recorded more than 2 million minutes of video recordings of 4,000 veterans!

There are many people in their eighties, nineties, and hundreds of years old, who have said a lot of things, about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, about old history......

Many elderly people died a year after the interview.

At the last moment, they stayed in the camera forever......

In the beginning, nearly ninety percent of the veterans interviewed were nervous, making oral interviews impossible.

In order to dispel their concerns, Qin Huai and the team need to communicate with them little by little.

Once, to visit a veteran.

Qin Huai and the team were extremely patient.

It took more than a month and more than 100 tapes to ...... history Keep it safe.

Every interview.

Qin Huai will be touched.

Veterans have experienced so many people and things in their lives!

And.

In this world, there is almost no second such group of people......

Their contribution to the nation is incomparably great, it is a body of pain, a body full of guns, and a shadow of war that cannot be erased in a lifetime.

War drives people crazy.

Hemingway went insane because of the war.

And our veterans, the environment during the anti-Japanese war was even more difficult, in front of the well-trained and well-equipped invaders, they only had old guns, clothes that could not completely protect themselves from the cold, and the death of their comrades every day.

……

Veterans who have survived to this day in good health have an exceptionally strong and peaceful mentality.

At that time, the motherland was in a gloomy environment.

Every choice of these veterans is full of pain and cruelty.

Qin Huai, a junior born in the era of peace, couldn't understand it at all, but from the stories of the veterans, he felt a tingling in his scalp.

What saddened Qin Huai was that these people had fought bayonets with the Dongying invaders on the battlefield and survived the artillery fire and stray bullets

The brave soldiers who fought bravely for the Chinese nation and killed the enemy had nearly sixty percent of their old age and had an extremely difficult life.

They live in turmoil, die in loneliness, they throw their heads and spill blood, protect their families and defend the country, and their bodies are scarred!

But in the end, they were forgotten in dark corners, insulted and discriminated against.

He was even hated by his children.

For example, a 91-year-old veteran who had no children and no daughters could only live with his 80-year-old sister, eating and drinking in a windowless hut of less than 10 square meters.

For example, Long Qiming, the only surviving member of the Flying Tigers in China, fought bloody battles with the Dongying invaders more than 70 years ago.

At the age of 91, he was hospitalized for a serious lung infection, and spent 3,500 yuan a day in the hospital, which was difficult to continue with his retirement salary and medical insurance......

……

For example, an expeditionary soldier in his nineties.

You can receive a monthly allowance of 50 or 100 yuan.

Once, when he went to collect the relief money, the staff told him that the money was gone.

When the old man returned to his grandson's house, the grandson saw that he had no money, so he immediately pointed at the old man and scolded: "You are an old immortal, and you still have the face to go home?!"

……

This hero, who did not bow his head even in the face of enemy bayonets.

In the end, in the midst of his grandson's insults, he changed into the cleanest clothes.

Suicide by poisoning.

When Qin Huai arrived, he only saw a tomb overgrown with weeds.

Qin Huai could only sit in front of the grave all morning.

……

The veterans dedicated their youth to the motherland, left their blood for the motherland, and charged under artillery fire.

However.

The war was won.

The veterans were forgotten.

Alone in the shadow of war...... There is no position to cry out for yourself.

Many veterans have been waiting for this life.

It's not just waiting for material feedback, but just hoping to get a recognition -- they went to fight against the invaders back then! They went to defend their homeland and the country! They were fighting for our Chinese nation!

They need to be respected, they need to be appreciated, they need to be saluted when we meet them.

……

Qin Huai recorded all of this.

Three whole years.

Thirty-two provinces.

Deposits are squandered.

also borrowed 200 million yuan from Ning Zhiyuan and Zhao Daoyuan, and also donated from other enterprises.

Use this money to build simple houses for veterans that are warm in winter and cool in summer, and give some help as much as they can, hoping that they will spend the rest of their lives in peace.

……

Qin Huai was glad that he had done such a thing.

It is heavier than his creativity in carving and innovation in art.

The oral histories of the veterans are the most valuable part of it.

The veterans are not inferior to the storytellers.

Because that's their own experience!

They may remember that encounter again and again in their nightmares, like an iron horse glacier, stepping through a dream.

They may suddenly remember the comrades-in-arms who went home to marry after the victory and encouraged them together, but they were under the bullet and could never wake up.

They never get a single detail wrong.

They even remember the lines of the shell craters.

Remember that there were a couple of sarcomas on that scorched tree.

Remember the mole on the arm of a comrade-in-arms.

That moment.

They will be familiar with the expressions of the time.

The look in their eyes when they recalled.

It seems to take Qin Huai and a team to feel that history immersively.

Authentic.

But it's sad.
