830. Chapter 828: They Don't Deserve It
After staying in the hall for less than a few minutes, several people went inside again, it was an arc-shaped corridor, surrounded by some items, there were scrapped guns, there were all kinds of old-fashioned military materials, most of the windows were equipped with introductory texts, and there were some pictures of people, all of whom were veterans and civilians, making people who saw it seem to be in that era of fire and humiliation.
Everyone's mood was a little heavy, even angry, but Zhang Han was always expressionless, just looking at them one after another, very carefully and seriously.
The whole memorial hall seems a little deserted, in the huge venue, it takes a long time to meet one or two people, almost all of them are students, they occasionally take out their mobile phones to take a photo, it seems that the daily flow of people is less than 100 people, and the cost of this memorial hall is at least more than 20 million, not counting other material resources invested, more importantly, it is free of charge, completely free to open, just like that, it still can't attract many people to come.
Yang Chen saw the depressed scene around him, and sighed against the booth, "Alas, I spent so much money on the memorial hall, but no one appreciates it." ”
Yang Xu said, "This is also normal, people nowadays, bars and entertainment venues that spend money are their first choice, this kind of atmosphere is not very good, there are so few people who don't want money, if you spend money, do you think there will be anyone?" ”
Chen Peng handed over two cigarettes, lit them for himself and Yang Chen, and Yang Xu said,
"That's really not necessarily, people are cheap, the cheaper you are, the more bad he will feel, and the more expensive you are, maybe there will be more people."
Erxi also came over and asked for a cigarette, "But look at those students, they really gave us some comfort, there are finally people, and they are the future masters of the motherland." ”
Chen Peng sneered, "Hmph...... If it weren't for their homework, I think the future owners of the Motherland would have gone to an Internet café instead of coming here. ”
Erxi casually pulled over a boy who looked like a high school student, "Little brother, what are you doing here?" ”
The boy was stunned for a moment, looking at Erxi's five big and three thick bodies and obviously a little frightened, "I...... Our teacher asked me to write an essay, and I looked it up. ”
Erxi waved his hand in annoyance, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Several people fell into silence, this silence is despair from the heart, should history be forgotten? How many people still remember the humiliation of the past, shameless, how brave!
Zhang Han smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, "How do I think we did something useless." ”
There was silence again, no one spoke, it was depressing enough here, but now it became more depressing, and suddenly an old man with a cane came in front of him, and he was still a little familiar with the figure.
Chen Peng patted his head, "Cow bolt!" ”
Hearing someone call him, the old man looked over here, squinted and stared for a long time before showing a happy smile, obviously recognizing Zhang Han and them.
"Yes...... Is that you? ”
Zhang Han also smiled, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhang Han and a few people walked over and found that the old man's legs and feet were no longer as sharp as before, and he was bent over his waist, obviously what happened after they left.
The old man looked at Zhang Han's face carefully, "I didn't expect to see you again." ”
Zhang Han smiled, "We had something to do a while ago, and we have been away for a few months, what's going on with your legs?" ”
The old man looked down and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, people are old, how can there be no problem, I am already very lucky with Jiang Siwa." ”
Zhang Han frowned, "What's the matter?" ”
The old man shook his head, always with a smile on his face, "Actually, it's nothing, Jiang Siwa left last month." ”
"Gone?" Liuzi Road.
Needless to say, he knew what it meant to leave, Zhang Han asked again, "How can a good person just say go?" ”
Niu bolted and said, "Cancer, it was found to be at an advanced stage at that time. ”
"Didn't the government take care of it?" Zhang Han asked. If he really didn't care, Yang Wu was the mayor of the city, and he couldn't escape the blame, even if he had a friendship with Zhang Han, Zhang Han would never give him any face.
Niu Shuzhuan shook his head, "The government is in charge, since Mayor Yang took office, he has been very good to us veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, organized condolence activities with the people of the city government many times, and also allocated us a house, and we can also receive a thousand yuan of relief every month, although it is not much, but we feel very warm, the country has finally not forgotten us, as for the four children, alas, ......"
Speaking of this, he sighed and continued, "Siwa's illness can't be kept even by the gods, whether it's the hospital or the city government, everyone has done their best." ”
"Hmm......" Zhang Han nodded, which was acceptable, and asked again,
"By the way, what about Yang Wu? and Tian Jianzhong of the Municipal Bureau. ”
"I don't know who Tian Jianzhong is, but Mayor Yang I know, I often see him on TV, and now he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Zhang Han nodded after listening, it seems that everything is going well, Zuo Shiyin has already done it according to his own plan, not surprisingly Tian Jianzhong should also work in the provincial department, and Guo Feng, that guy is estimated to have worked in the Ministry of Justice, but he has no chance to go to see them, otherwise he will definitely have to let them have a drink to thank him.
As he was talking, Zhang Han's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Lele calling.
"Hey, where are you two now?"
Lu Ningxiang's voice actually came from inside, "Zhang Han! It's raining outside, we go back to the hotel, what about you? Where did you run again! ”
Zhang Han smiled bitterly, "I said Miss Lu, can you not talk to me every time as if I owe you money?" We're here at the Anti-Japanese War Memorial, what's wrong? ”
"Sister Lele said that you should come back quickly if you are fine, it will be time soon."
"Got it, go back immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Han said to Niu Bolt, "We still have something to go, if you want to go back, we can send you." ”
Niu Shuzhuan waved his hand, "No need, I still want to go around here more, maybe I won't have a chance to come one day." ”
Zhang Han looked at the old man in front of him who had experienced the baptism of war and tempered his steely spirit, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved, this memorial hall was not built for those who only knew drunk life and dreams all day long, they were not worthy, only those who still remembered a piece of history in their hearts and did not forget the national shame deserve to come here, for them, this is a temple, there is nothing more respectful for them than that history, and the will of those martyrs needs this building to write.
Therefore, no matter how much money is spent, as long as the will of the martyrs can be retained, then it will not be unjustly spent.
Zhang Han nodded heavily, put his legs together, raised his right arm violently, and gave a solemn military salute, the old man smiled, although his body was not as tough as before, and the salute looked very loose, but the old man gestured, but there was an indescribable momentum, which made the power of heaven and earth change color undoubtedly, and the vicissitudes of life and wrinkled face were full of perseverance, this is the integrity of a veteran!
