In the twenty-fifth summer of the first half of the year, heavy rainstorms to heavy rains fell in most parts of the south of the Yangtze River and South China and some parts of the north of China. The main stream www.biquge.info of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, the Pearl River, the Minjiang River, the Nenjiang River, the Songhua River and other rivers have experienced the greatest floods in history. Under the wise leadership and decision-making of the Royal Family and the Government Council, millions of soldiers and civilians have united as one to fight the flood, and when one side is in trouble, all sides support, and the sons and daughters of China have composed one after another songs of fighting the flood with their iron will and fearless heroism. The spirit of flood fighting is: unity, unity, not afraid of difficulties, tenacious struggle, perseverance, and daring to win.

In the 25th year of the Taichu Dynasty, a catastrophic flood occurred on the Yangtze River, and the internal affairs troops received an order to fight the flood and prepare for rescue. The troops took into account Cheng Weimin's physical condition and arranged for him to stay in the rear. Cheng Weimin was anxious when he heard this, how could he stay in the rear when the masses were in the most danger. He applied to his superiors and strongly requested to participate in flood fighting and rescue.

On the evening of August 21, 25 years, the wind and rain were combined, the flood overflowed the embankment, and the Jingjiang embankment was in great danger. The danger is an order, Cheng Weimin took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the leader of the battalion commando, and more than 80 commandos each carried 50 kilograms of sandbags and ran back and forth in the knee-deep mud. Cheng Weimin ignored his body, gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting for 36 hours until he collapsed on the embankment from exhaustion.

The flood situation affected the Taihe Palace, and the head of state Wu Chenxuan and the premier of the government Council Zhou Xiangyu personally went to the scene to inspect and express condolences to the soldiers and civilians fighting in the war, and Premier Zhou Xiangyu and Vice Premier Chen Yunsheng came to the front line to command. The royal and central governments have paid close attention to the development trend of the disaster situation and the progress of disaster response, and have always been concerned about the affected people and the soldiers and civilians who are rushing to the rescue. Trains, planes, and cars are loaded with materials and food, and the people of all parts of the country are full of affection and kindness from all directions, and they are gathering in the disaster areas from all directions.

In order to overcome the catastrophic natural disaster, the National Defence Force, the Royal Air Force and the Home Affairs Force deployed more than 360,000 troops, and the local government organized and mobilized more than 8 million civil servants and citizens to participate in the flood fighting. Together with the efforts of various departments, regions and systems that provide direct services for flood fighting and rescue, the total number of people is hundreds of millions; And the number of other people who care about and support the flood fight in different ways is even more innumerable. The scale of this struggle against floods and emergency rescue is large-scale, magnificent, and the struggle is severe and fierce, and more importantly, the upper and lower levels are united in their hearts, the cadres and the masses are united in their hearts, the party and the masses are united in their hearts, the army and the people are united in their hearts, and the front and rear are united in their hearts.

In the unforgettable flood fighting and rescue in the summer of 25, in order to protect the interests of the country and the people, the heroic soldier Li Qun disregarded life and death, and with his short life of 20 years and short military age of 22 months, he composed a magnificent hymn to life, and was hailed as a "heroic soldier in the new era."

Li Qun, who was born in the fourth year of Taichu, was a soldier of the Ninth Company of a certain unit of the Hubei Provincial Garrison Division of the Internal Affairs Army. Although his family has millions of assets, in order to exercise his will and sentiments, Li Qun resolutely chose the path of joining the army, and grew from an ordinary citizen to a qualified soldier, an excellent soldier and a glorious commando captain. In the 25 years of the Yangtze River valley flood fighting and rescue battle, Li Qun took the initiative to sign up for the army's rescue commando, he fought tenaciously with illness, fainted on the embankment four times, was sent to the hospital for rescue and woke up, and then pulled out the infusion needle to fight on the embankment, and finally died heroically due to overwork. In order to express their deep remembrance of the martyrs, 30,000 people in the disaster area spontaneously rushed to attend the memorial service of the martyrs, and erected monuments in the places where the martyrs fought against the flood during their lifetimes. The Ministry of National Defense awarded Li Qun the honorary title of "Heroic Soldier of the New Era".

Martyr Liu Nan is a native of Xiangyin County, Hunan Province, and was born in October of the first year of Taichu in a peasant family in Nanhu Town, Xiangyin County. He loves learning since he was a child, and he is excellent in character and learning. In September 21, he graduated from Xiangyin County No. 4 Middle School and was selected to study at the Air Force Flight Academy, and after graduation, he was assigned to an air defense regiment of the Royal Air Force. He has served as a platoon commander, assistant engineer, deputy company commander and other positions, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant, and is an outstanding grassroots cadre trained by the Royal Air Force. During his four-year military career, he studied hard, worked hard, had a good work style, and had a noble moral character, and was awarded by the army twice.

In the summer of 25 years, the Yangtze River basin was hit by floods rarely seen in history. On July 27, a regiment of the Royal Air Force to which he belonged was ordered to go to the Xianning area of Hubei Province to carry out the task of rescuing and protecting the main embankment of the Yangtze River. Before leaving, he wrote a letter to his old mother: "Mom, I am about to lead the troops to carry out the task of flood fighting and rescue, and now I have a new house at home, and when I return to the army after the victory of the flood fight, I will take advantage of the opportunity of vacation to pick up your old man to live, so that your old man can live with us and enjoy the happiness of his old age." He led the soldiers to the designated position on time and immediately plunged into the flood fighting and rescue battle in Qiujiawan, Jiayu County. Despite the high fever for several days, he took the lead in fighting on the front line. On the evening of August 1, he led his troops to Paizhou Bay to participate in the rescue battle. During the rapid march, the Yangtze River embankment suddenly burst, and the company was suddenly hit by floods, and huge waves four or five meters high rushed to the face. At the critical juncture, he disregarded his personal safety, remained calm and calm, and quickly organized the rescue of the people in distress and the officers and men. The life-saving equipment was not enough, so he immediately took off his life jacket and forced it to be put on by the new soldier Zhao Wenyuan. When he was forced to abandon the car to transfer, he insisted on being the last one to leave. During the more than two hours of fighting the flood, he continued to agitate on the spot, shouting: "With the cadres of the company, we will definitely be able to rush out!" He fought hard to rescue eight people and soldiers. After 9 p.m. on the night of August 1, the flood became heavier and heavier. He and the company commander decided to leave the two trees to a few frail fighters and the danger of death to themselves. He used all his strength to push Zheng Bin, a new warrior who was struggling in the water, to a big tree, but he was swept away by a huge wave and died a heroic death.

Although the head of state Wu Chenxuan asked the guards to be as quiet as possible, there were still some soldiers of the army and the Royal Air Force who woke up from their slumber, and a small soldier was woken up by his companions, and in his ignorance, he grabbed the sandbag under his shoulder and was about to charge up the embankment, but was stopped by his comrades, and when he saw them, these officers who would be starry, laughed embarrassedly, and reached out and scratched his hair. Although the embankment was already full of people, there were still a few officers and soldiers lying on sandbags and did not wake up, and the accompanying regiment commander was shaking up a mud monkey-like officer, probably the company commander of this company. If you are swaying left and right, you will not wake up, and the head of the regiment is not good at heavy-handedness, so he will pour a cold water on him when he takes the kettle. Wu Chenxuan hurriedly grabbed the hand of the head of the regiment, the head of the regiment froze for a while, his face was helpless, and he had to explain to the head of state: "This turtle son has been on the embankment for ten days, he has slept for less than ten hours, he is sleepy, and he is usually very alert, not like this." Your Majesty, look at me...". Wu Chenxuan shook his head, gently handed the kettle to the little soldier, and watched him gulp it. Wu Chenxuan slowly took off the military uniform on his body, Du Zicheng Du Shuai stretched out his hand to stop his movements, Wu Chenxuan waved his hand at him, and the other officers and local officials who were about to step forward didn't know what to do for a while, regardless of them, Wu Chenxuan gently bent down and put the military uniform on the company commander who was covered in muddy water, looking at the commander's uniform stained with muddy water, for a while, except for the click of the flashing lights, there was only the roar of the Yangtze River in his ears. Wu Chenxuan stood silently for a few minutes, then raised his arms and saluted, Du Shuai also straightened his body, raised his arms, and saluted solemnly to the company commander lying on the sandbag, and other generals, school officers, captains, and soldiers raised their arms one by one to salute solemnly, and the local officials also lowered their umbrellas to their feet and saluted silently. The atmosphere at this time is so solemn, and the solemnity is almost tangible and qualitative. The reporters' cameras stopped, their pens stopped, the trumpets of volunteers and strong workers from near and far stopped, and only the sound of the ramming of wooden stakes still sounded, as if it was contending with the roaring river.

Wu Chenxuan's saluting hand did not let go, and slowly turned to the soldiers around him, looking at these muddy young faces and the golden military emblem on the military hat, his eyes were moist, this army was forged from his hands, although in the era of peace, but the military power of this army is great, and the military spirit is still there. The royal guards couldn't help but open their mouths when they looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was crying silently, no matter what, there was no way to imagine that His Majesty, who was majestic, humorous, quiet, or kind on weekdays, actually cried.

There is no need to deliberately recall, for whose song rushed out of the Führer's throat, yes, this song has his own soul, he wants to sing it to these heroes who use their flesh and blood to resist the might of heaven and earth, first Wu Chenxuan himself sang softly, then several guards echoed, and finally all the people on the embankment chorus:

"The mud is all over the trouser legs, the sweat is soaking through the back of the clothes, I don't know who you are, but I know who you are for. For whom, for the harvest of autumn, for the return of the wild geese in spring, he sang with enthusiasm and no regrets. Looking through the world, I don't know when my comrades-in-arms will return, who are you, for whom, when will you return my comrades-in-arms. Who you are and for whom, my brothers and sisters do not shed tears. Who is the most beautiful, who is the most tired, my fellow villagers, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers and sisters. ”

When this scene spread to thousands of households along with TV pictures, newspapers, and magazines, China boiled and moved. All kinds of fundraising, all kinds of support, more turbulent than the raging Yangtze River. In just 10 days, excluding donations from overseas, royal enterprises, government agencies, etc., private donations alone reached an astonishing 3 billion yuan, which was enough to strengthen the main embankment in the Yangtze River basin to the extent that it could withstand a once-in-a-century event. Wu Chenxuan's inadvertently humming "For Whom" also swept the major awards for the best Chinese song that year, and his English translation actually won the Grammy Music Award that year, of course, all the prize money was donated to the flood fighting troops to improve food and sanitation conditions.

A few years after the war, when Wu Chenxuan visited the United States, Time magazine used the scene where he covered the company commander with his military uniform as the cover of the current issue, which actually became one of the most famous shots of the 20th century. ”。 The company commander's surname was Li, and when he retired from the army after the expiration of his term as a regiment commander, he was specially invited by the Führer's Office to participate in the military parade for the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and authorized him to wear Wu Chenxuan's commander's uniform.
