Chapter 230: Epilogue
September 3, 2015 is the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Seventy years ago, that is, on September 2, 1945, Japan's surrender ceremony to the Allies was held on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, and Japan signed the instrument of surrender under the watchful eyes of representatives of the nine surrendered countries, including China, which was the first comprehensive victory in China's anti-aggression history in modern times, and also made great contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. After that, September 3 of each year was designated as the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
And on this day, 70 years later, we commemorate this great victory with a military parade.
The majestic victory parade kicked off, and the suffering and glory of 70 years ago and the glory of the victory of the Chinese nation bloomed in Tiananmen Square. This is a national celebration that draws lessons from history, protects peace, and faces the future.
On the morning of September 3, 2015, the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, the President of the People's Republic of China, and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission delivered an important speech at the Tiananmen Gate Tower and inspected the parade of foot and equipment teams.
An elderly man was sitting in front of a 50-inch LCD television and was watching the live broadcast of the "93" military parade.
At this moment, on East Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, the three armies are arrayed, and the iron armor stands proudly. At eight military airports in North China, warhawks are ready to fly......
Through the clouds and fog, the warplanes roared. A squadron of 26 helicopters and 7 trainer planes flew over at an ultra-low altitude. In the sky above Tiananmen Square, war eagles are guarding the national flag and the military flag is flying, and helicopters are flying in formation with the word "70". Seven colored smoke is like seven giant pens like rafters, capitalizing the vicissitudes of time and the immortality of victory in the sky.
The victory is immortal because the spirit of unity has always been stirred in the land of China. Although the smoke of gunpowder is gone, the tragic history forged by blood and fire has an epic echo. When more than 300 veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, children of anti-Japanese martyrs, and exemplary representatives of the Anti-Japanese War support, under the escort of the state guest guard, drove slowly in an open-top car, applause resounded in Tiananmen Square. "There is no distinction between north and south, there is no distinction between the old and the young" and "40,000 people, resolutely resist", in the face of a strong enemy, the heroes of more than 70 years ago sacrificed their lives and forgot to die and went to the national disaster together The feat has turned into a rainbow of victory today. They are the backbone of the nation, the witness of victory. Although his face was wrinkled and his hair was gray, the pride of victory still filled the face of every old man.
When the host introduced the phalanx of veterans, the old man's eyes widened, and a few tears rolled out of his eyes silently, and when he saw the veterans wearing medals on their chests passing by the rostrum, he couldn't help but tremble and stand up from his wheelchair, trembling and raising his right hand to salute them.
The old man's lips trembled slightly, and it could be seen that her heart was surging at this moment, and it was difficult to calm down. Maybe at this moment, the scenes of the past are emerging in her mind, those people who make her unforgettable in this life, unforgettable things.
"Ah, grandma, how did you stand up?" A little nanny in her twenties saw the old man standing in front of the TV, and hurriedly ran over to help: "Grandma, didn't the doctor tell you that your legs and feet are not dexterous and you can't stand for a long time, you must be careful, if you fall, it's not a joke." ”
"Got it, girl, don't babble, I'm fine. I just saw these old heroes, and my heart inevitably got excited. The old man slowly sat down in a wheelchair with the support of the little nanny.
"I know, grandma, you were a heroine when you were younger." The little nanny looked at the old man with admiration.
The old man shook his head and waved his hand: "I can't count, I can't count." Those veterans who have been through a lot of battles are the real heroes. ”
"Grandma, you are too modest, you are a well-known hero of the Anti-Japanese War in our city, if it weren't for your inconvenient legs, you would definitely be on TV today."
The old man smiled faintly.
There was a knock on the door, and the little nanny immediately walked over to open the door, and a large number of people came in, and the room was instantly full, including children and teachers wearing red scarves, and some staff carrying machines and equipment.
A middle-aged man walked up to the old man, half-squatted and introduced himself to her loudly: "Grandma, we are from the TV station, and I am the director of the program group." I contacted you a few days ago, do you remember? “
"Oh, it seems like that." The old man pointed to the hearing aid on his ear: "You be quiet, I can hear it." “
"Okay, good, I didn't expect my grandmother to be so old, and she is so deaf and clear-headed." The middle-aged man smiled and lowered his voice: "Grandma, today is the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and we know that you are a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and an old hero, so we specially came to interview you."
"Heroes can't be talked about, but at that time, the vast majority of us Chinese were unwilling to be slaves of the country, so everyone united as one, tried every means to fight the Japanese openly and secretly."
"Grandma, you are too modest, I remember that you went to our school a few years ago to give a report to the children, and told the children a lot of real anti-Japanese stories, we know that you used to be a member of the Dongjiang guerrillas, and at that time you and your comrades-in-arms fought against the Japanese devils in Bao'an and Huiyang. It's really nice to beat the Japanese invaders to the ground! "The teacher was full of reverence for the legendary life deeds of the old man.
"Grandma, so, we are here today just to ask you to tell us about the previous Anti-Japanese War." The director looked at the old man and smiled: "Our TV station also plans to make an album of the heroic deeds of your surviving anti-Japanese old heroes, which will be permanently preserved as anti-Japanese war materials, so that future generations will always remember these heroes." It's a great thing, grandma. ”
The old man was very happy to hear this, and kept nodding his head: "Okay, okay, our children and grandchildren should remember those heroes who sacrificed for the country and the nation." It's been a long time since I've told these stories to anyone, so if you want to hear them, I'll tell them to you. “
The old man was very interested: "This thing is ......"
"Wait, grandma, wait a minute!"
The middle-aged man interrupted the old man and immediately began to command: "Put the camera here, put the lights there, come, the teacher and the children are around grandma." “
"Okay, get ready to boot."
The boy in the red scarf began to snuggle under his grandmother's knees, raised his head, and said affectionately: "Grandma, tell us how you embarked on the revolutionary road back then?" “
The old man touched the child's head and said leisurely: "It has to start from when I was a little girl, when I was still a maid, master, wife, young master and some of us lived in a small western-style building in Guangzhou. One day, the young master taught me to ride a bicycle ......"
