0349 Brand of the Times

Wang Liang must not forget that on the viewing platform on the east side of Tiananmen Square at the military parade marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2009, there was an old lady who was over 80 years old.

She is the wife of Commander Liu Bin and the mother of the two martyrs, Wang Changqun.

At that time, on behalf of her two sons who were handsome and heroic but died on the battlefield of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, she visited the military parade of the mighty division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

General Liu Bin, the former commander of the Baoshan Military Division, failed to appear on the viewing platform, and in 2009, Liu Bin was already sick in bed and had no way to go out.

The entire parade was watched live by his two daughters in front of the television.

Looking at the mighty division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, watching one phalanx after another pass through Tiananmen Square, General Liu Bin seemed to see his sons Liu Guang and Liu Ming among them.

The old man smiled with satisfaction.

The old man is sincerely proud and proud of the growth of our army.

The year 2009 passed quickly, and General Liu Bin had completed the last journey of his life.

Wang Liang said: "On March 20, 2010, General Liu Bin, the former commander of the Baoshan Military Region, died in Yun Province at the age of 86 due to ineffective medical treatment, and on March 24, the general's body was cremated in Chuncheng. Following the old man's wishes, his ashes were buried with his two sons. ”

Comment section.

"Commander Liu Bin is immortal!"

"Commander Liu Bin, his two sons and his loyal family are the real backbone of the nation!"

"I admire General Liu's family very much, and now it would be nice to have more officials like this."

"Full of loyalty, loyal to the country. Shine with the sun, and live forever with heaven and earth!"

"As a veteran who participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 79 years, I deeply know the cruelty and ruthlessness of war. Commander Liu's family can be so country-oriented, loyal and ambitious, not afraid of hardship and death! It's a lot of loyalty! I salute Commander Liu's family!! ”

"I am a survivor of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, I have participated in reconnaissance operations in the Laoshan and Zheyinshan theaters, and I have personally experienced the life and death of my comrades-in-arms, and I can't help but cry when I think of my comrades who sacrificed their lives. Qingming is coming, salute the sacrificed comrades-in-arms - I will always miss you! ”

"I am a veteran of the war, the war has passed for decades, the country does not publicize the media and does not report, there are many young people who have forgotten the history of this self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, in recent years, comrades-in-arms spontaneously put on old military uniforms and engaged in some comrade-in-arms activities, so that future generations can know about this war."

"Liu Bin was the chief of staff of the Wenshan Division, then the deputy commander, and then the commander of the Baoshan Division, and Liu Guangsheng was in the disputed area on the Sino-Vietnamese border in Miaoba Tongzi Bay, Tianpeng Commune, Funing County...... Sacrifice his life for the country, he is a hero of our republic, salute to the heroes! ”

This is no longer simply a debate about whether the children of high-ranking cadres are afraid of war.

As a narrator, Wang Liang once again told everyone the story that happened in the ten-year round war.

Stories that are not propagated by the state, not reported by the media, not known.

Put it today, put it in 2018, walk down the street and ask.

No one knows who Liu Bin is, let alone the two martyrs Liu Guang and Liu Ming.

They didn't have any spectacular deeds, they just died on the battlefield as soldiers.

Wang Liang muttered: "Mao Xiaodong, the son of Mao Yu, the deputy commander of the 41st Army, can be regarded as a son of a high-ranking cadre, right?" ”

"Mao Xiaodong joined the army earlier, joined the army in 1969, and then won a second-class meritorious service at the all-army martial arts competition, was sent to the People's Liberation Army University for further study, and became the youngest company commander in the army after graduation."

"During the self-defense counterattack war, Mao Xiaodong's department was ordered to seize the 809 position of Gao Ping, Vietnam, and Mao Xiaodong was unfortunately shot and died during the assault, Mao Xiaodong was the only son of Commander Mao Yu."

Wang Liang continued: "The son of Qu Kui, the chief of staff of the 41st Army, is called Qu Ningjiang. Qu Ningjiang joined the army in March 1978, and the self-defense counterattack broke out in the second year of enlistment, and he took the initiative to apply to go to the front line to participate in the war. ”

"Because Qu Ningjiang had only joined the army for a year at that time, a lot of training had not yet been completed, and the army considered rejecting his application repeatedly."

"After the request for war was refused, Qu Ningjiang directly crossed his superiors and called his father, who was the chief of staff of the army, and strongly asked to go to the front line to fight."

In the end, Chief of Staff Qu agreed, and Qu Ningjiang went to the battlefield as he wished.

"On February 24, 1979, dozens of days after the battle, Qu Ningjiang's unit was attacked by the Vietnamese army, Qu Ningjiang was unfortunately hit by a Vietnamese sniper in order to cover the retreat of his comrades, and he was only 19 years old when he died, and was posthumously recognized as a first-class meritorious hero by the Central Military Commission."

Wang Liang knew too many high-ranking cadres who participated in the war.

Peng Hong, his father is the former deputy commander of the Air Force of the Nanshi Military Region.

During the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Peng Hong served as the captain of the reconnaissance brigade of the 42nd Army, during which the reconnaissance brigade provided a large amount of military intelligence for the 42nd Army and was awarded a second-class meritorious service.

During an operation deep behind enemy lines, Peng Hong was unfortunately hit by Vietnamese snipers and died on the spot.

Jiang Luping, his father is Jiang Xieyuan, deputy commander of the Guangshi Military Region.

In the course of the battle of Laoshan, Jiang Luping led a company to provide accurate coordinates to the artillery units and went deep behind enemy lines.

During the reconnaissance, Jiang Luping was shot in the abdomen by an enemy anti-aircraft machine gun, and his intestines flowed out in an instant.

Jiang Luping continued to fight until he died, and was posthumously awarded second-class merit.

Zhao Youlin, his father was the political commissar of the Logistics Department of the Guangshi Military Region.

After the counterattack against Vietnam began, Zhao Youlin participated in the battle with the team.

During a surprise operation, Zhao Youlin was killed by a grenade of the Vietnamese army at the age of 26, and was posthumously awarded a second-class meritorious service after his death.

Wang Liang tried his best to say all the names he remembered.

Because there are so many people paying attention, the audience has reached more than two million during the live broadcast.

Today, these names are known and remembered by two million people.

Wang Liang said: "When the self-defense counterattack war began, many sons of generals in the Guangshi Military Region applied to go to the front line to fight and were approved. Let's put it this way, more than half of these children never came back as soon as they left. ”

"They did not disgrace their father, and when the motherland needed them, they did not flinch, but rushed to the front line to fight the enemy army and defend the people behind them."

The people of that era had a deep imprint of the times.

The children of cadres must go to the hardest places to exercise.

When you are a soldier, you must go to the front line.

This may seem unbelievable today in 2018, but in the late seventies, such an idea really existed.
