0158 I'm Wang Cheng, report to you!
0158 I'm Wang Cheng, report to you!
When the words 'fire at me' were shouted, Jiang Qingquan had the heart of death, but he had no choice but to make people, and he failed to become a martyr.
And to survive, he endured a lot of humiliation and pain.
Think about such a situation, in the middle of the night in 1965, during the era of worshipping combat heroes, the village production team organized everyone to watch the movie "Heroic Children".
Jiang Qingquan's wife praised the protagonist Wang Cheng in the play for being brave and fearless, and he was her idol in her heart.
But as everyone knows, Wang Chengcheng in the play has always been her pillow person.
Jiang Qingquan didn't speak, he could understand at a glance that what was said in the movie was actually what he had done.
But he didn't dare to speak out, just silently shed tears.
When he got home, he secretly cried all night under the covers.
The next day, while working in the fields, he quietly shed tears, and he could not let others see it, let alone let it be known, because he had the weight of the prisoner of war in his heart.
Jiang Qingquan thinks: Wang Cheng is a hero, but he is not.
Jiang Qingquan didn't dare to mention the events of that year to anyone, when someone asked him how he fought back then.
He prevaricated and said, "I haven't fought much, I can sing, I'll sing a song for you." ”
It's gone.
Memories can't be shared with anyone, whether it's exciting or sad, they can't be shared.
A lifetime of shadows.
In this way, Jiang Qingquan was silent in loneliness, and the heroic spirit and heroic past that once swallowed mountains and rivers only belonged to the tall image in the movie, and in his opinion, he had no connection with himself.
More than 40 years have passed, and in this isolated village in Liao Province, Jiang Qingquan is gradually getting old, with gray hair.
He didn't know what the world outside the mountain was like, he didn't dare to step out, he felt that he didn't have the face to step out.
One day in 2004, a few neighbors suddenly ran into Jiang Qingquan's house, and they excitedly said that someone had mentioned his name Jiang Qingquan on TV!
The neighbor danced excitedly: "The people on TV mentioned you, and the information is right!" You are the prototype of Wang Cheng! ”
Jiang Qingquan shook his head: "That's not, it's not me." ”
Neighbor: "Why not you?" People have mentioned you Jiang Qingquan, the year you were a soldier and the year you were discharged from the army are all right. ”
Jiang Qingquan: "There are many people called Jiang Qingquan in the world, hundreds of thousands of volunteers, and the name has been renamed." ”
Wang Liang wiped his tears, why did he help the veteran?
That's it.
Wang Liang: "Jiang Qingquan's first reaction was not excitement, not excitement, but dazed and flustered. He was no longer accustomed to his name being associated with the word hero, this old man who had planned to live like this for the rest of his life in a remote mountain village, of course he couldn't imagine that there were still people in this world who always remembered him, and even struggled to find him. ”
Jiang Qingquan didn't have the desire to stand up, he thought, just let those things that are rotten in the stomach forever.
In 2010, the war correspondent who wrote "Tenacious Voice" and several old comrades-in-arms found Jiang Qingquan after several turnovers, and handed him the manuscript of the war newsletter that described his heroic deeds.
After media reports, the old comrades-in-arms of the year saw it.
They came all the way to prove it to Jiang Qingquan.
Jiang Qingquan finally said that sentence calmly: I am Wang Cheng.
Someone asked why Jiang Qingquan had remained silent.
Jiang Qingquan replied: "The hero on the screen, Wang Cheng, sacrificed, and I'm still alive, I had that experience, and I don't want to discredit the hero." ”
Speaking of which, the comment section has fallen.
The visitors also expressed their opinions.
"Heroes should not be buried, prisoners of war have undergone harsher torture and tests, and he has always insisted on returning to his homeland, not to Taiwan. They are all good, the people should not forget them, and the government should not treat them badly. They are heroes! ”
"History will not forget Mr. Jiang, the loveliest people, the soil of the republic has their blood-stained demeanor!"
"When I was a child, in the movie "Children of Heroes", Wang Cheng's image is vivid. Now I know that he turned out to be an old-timer in our county! ”
"Please be kind to him."
"The motherland must not forget, and the people must not forget!"
Wang Liang continued: "Soldiers have little impact on the course of the war, but as an individual life, each person will have their own unique memory, which is not the same as those cold numbers and objective records in history textbooks. The meaning of war and the memory of war are different among policymakers, bystanders, historical researchers, and ordinary soldiers who have experienced the battle. ”
——————————
During his one-year stay in the management office, Jiang Qingquan was in the same squad as 15 other soldiers.
The daily life is to confess sins and review, not to mention merit, only faults.
They can still wear military uniforms and drink water from ceramic jars printed with them to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
But they are no longer considered military.
The cadres in charge of educating and examining the return of prisoners have this conclusion: "There is no capture in the dictionary of the people's army, and being captured is tantamount to treachery." ”
When interrogated by the enemy, Jiang Qingquan told the enemy: "Each person has a small light machine gun and eats rice, white flour, pig and mutton. ”
Every normal person knows that this is to fight the interrogation of the enemy.
But the final result of the review was that he had exposed the weapons and equipment of the troops after he was captured.
The divisional political department of Jiang Qingquan's unit provided him with sufficient support so that he was only punished with a warning from the party, and fortunately retained his party and military membership.
In the subsequent turmoil, the file was turned out.
He was shocked.
When you are moving, you have to fight him, saying that he is a traitor.
The commune house was full of big-character posters criticizing him, on the walls, and on the ropes.
I have endured all the hardships and endured the tiredness.
It wasn't until one day in December 1981 that two people from the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Organization Department came and announced the cancellation of his intra-party punishment.
On that day, Jiang Qingquan, who had not shed a single tear on the Korean battlefield, cried profusely.
Later, the organization asked Jiang Qingquan if he had any requirements? The old man mentioned one, hoping to get a commemorative medal to resist US aggression and aid Korea. After hearing the news, the Political Department specially made a commemorative medal for the old man to participate in the war. When the medal was awarded, the old man Jiang Qingquan wore the old military uniform of the year and saluted his old chief, the political commissar of the 23rd Army of the Volunteer Army, General Pei, who was over 100 years old. The old general was supported by two soldiers, and Jiang Qingquan reported: "Chief, Jiang Qingquan, who served as a walkie-talkie in the 5th Company of the 201st Regiment of the 67th Division of the 23rd Army of the Volunteer Army, reports to you. General Pei trembled and pinned the medal of participation in the battle to Jiang Qingquan's chest, and then the two old men hugged each other and cried......"
Wang Liang's story is also finished: "Loyal to the motherland, no two hearts, never abandon!" The backbone of China! A model for soldiers! ”
