At nine o'clock sharp, the fighters very consciously returned to the dormitory to rest. And Shen Yun, who suddenly gained a girlfriend, smiled from ear to ear all night.

The bus of the military region did not come at 10 o'clock on time, but at 7 o'clock in the morning, and stopped in front of the door of the South 5th House. Shen Yun had just taken a company of soldiers to finish washing up and preparing to go down to practice, when he saw the vehicle coming, he quickly gathered at the door.

"Shen Yun, the military region ordered you to go to a place before you will be stationed. Quickly pack your things and board the bus. A major stepped out of the car and said with a blank face.

The luggage and stuff had already been packed, and at this time, Shen Yun was just worried that it would be a little inappropriate to say goodbye like this.

As if he saw Shen Yun's thoughts, the major said, "I will complete the contact with Jinling University." ”

Shen Yun nodded, quickly went upstairs to remove the luggage, and let the soldiers quickly board the car. Then, in the golden glow of the rising sun, the two buses slowly drove out of Jinling University.

When the vehicle slowly drove southwest, Shen Yun had some different guesses in his heart. He already seemed to know where the bus was going.

It seems that there are many vehicles that choose to go in this direction at the same time at this time. However, the bus driver's proficient skills made Shen Yun and his party come to the end in less than an hour. At this time, the warriors who were still noisy on the vehicle instantly became silent.

In front of him was a memorial hall, and when the vehicle was parked on the side of the road, the driver rarely said a word to Shen Yun: "Lieutenant, take your soldiers down." I think you should know what to do. I'll be waiting for you at the back door at half past ten. ”

Shen Yun saluted silently, and then got out of the car and formed the team.

When a group of hundreds of people walked to the gate with neat steps, Shen Yun saw two baskets of white chrysanthemums at the door.

Squatting by the basket is an old man who is more than half a hundred years old. There was no shouting, just sitting there quietly. At this time, the people who came to worship seemed to be prepared, and until now, no one in front of the old man came to buy flowers.

Shen Yun thought about it, but still stepped forward.

"Old man, I want one hundred and seven flowers. How much? ”

The old man who heard the voice did not pick flowers for Shen Yun for the first time, but looked Shen Yun up and down: "Soldier? ”

"Yes."

"Spend it yourself, I don't want the money. I wasn't prepared to ask for money for these two baskets of flowers. I just hope that those who go in to see those compatriots who have died will sincerely carry remembrance and sorrow. After sighing, tears flashed in the old man's eyes.

Seeing that Shen Yun had not moved for a long time, the old man seemed to feel that Shen Yun did not dare to take it.

Pushing one of the baskets forward: "Housheng, I don't want your money, hurry up and spend it." I only hope that you will not regard this as a tourist resort, and open your eyes to see how our country and people have been ravaged. ”

After saying that, the old man pushed the basket forward again.

Shen Yun was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Old man, I'll go over first, and let my soldiers come over one by one to fetch flowers." Wait a minute. ”

Seeing the old man nodding, Shen Yun quickly ran to Instructor Gong, and then whispered into his ear and asked, "Old Gong, how much money do you still have?" ”

"Three hundred, what's wrong?"

"Give it to me, it works." Quietly taking the money from Instructor Gong, Shen Yun began to instruct the soldiers to fetch flowers. As for himself, he came to the old man's house and began to ask for warmth.

After a short chat, Shen Yun learned that the old man was a native of Jinling. His father's generation had experienced that inhumane killing. The list of victims in the memorial includes the names of his ancestors.

Shen Yun didn't know how to comfort him, but he just watched the last soldier take the flowers away, and then he stood up and saluted: "Old man, I believe that our motherland will never suffer such a ordeal again." In my lifetime, anyone who wants to invade this hot land will have to step on me. ”

After the ceremony, Shen Yun took a flower and followed the last soldier into the door.

Behind him, a group of people applauded one after another, and the old man burst into tears.

When he got up to look at Shen Yun's figure, suddenly, a wad of money fell from his lap. Under the reminder of the people, the old man picked up the money and counted it carefully, there were almost thousands of yuan - this was already the largest amount that Shen Yun could put together.

Just as he was about to ask whose money it was, a middle-aged man with eyes and a camera suddenly walked out of the crowd.

"Take it, old man. That's the money that the soldier just put on your lap. Maybe I was afraid that you would refuse, so I didn't tell you. There is no need to chase after it, I think that such a troop that does not take a stitch from the masses can really reassure us by saying those words just now. ”

The middle-aged man said, showing the old man a few photos he had just taken.

There is not only the solemnity of the soldiers when they take flowers, but also the picture of Shen Yun squatting on tiptoe and chatting with the old man. Of course, there is also the scene of Shen Yun's last salute.

At this time, the old man finally dispelled the idea of catching up and paying back the money, and just nodded vigorously: "Good, good, good." ”

Walking into the memorial hall, Shen Yun and his entourage walked directly into the historical exhibition hall.

The shocking figure of 300,000, the chilling electronic audio commentary, the desperate black, white and gray photographs, and the devastated restored buildings with color and color. Shen Yun couldn't bear to look at everything.

Even so, his eyes were already full of tears. Some of the soldiers who couldn't hold it were already in tears at this time.

In the historical exhibition hall, Shen Yun and his party walked for an hour and a half. However, the suffering of our ancestors can not be seen in an hour and a half. It's nothing more than that, when they find out, the tears in their eyes no longer seem to be enough to show their inner tremors. So, they chose to come out.

Altar.

The group stood silently under the black marble wall, and took turns to place the white flowers in their hands under the word "Dian".

Suddenly, everyone felt that they had a little more responsibility on them. The purpose of being a soldier is clearer and heavier, yes, being a soldier is not to eat food, but to protect the family and defend the country, and not to let your compatriots suffer like this.

"I am a citizen of the People's Republic of China, and it is my honorable duty to perform military service in accordance with the law. In order to fulfill the sacred duty of revolutionary soldiers, I swear: ...... I will resolutely fulfill the above oath and will never violate it. ”

The oath I made when I enlisted in the army echoed in my ears again, and it took a long time before it gradually passed away.
