The captain pointed to a tall man behind him, wearing a military uniform and looking very majestic, and said to Liu Ya'er: "Xiao Ya'er, this comrade wants to find your father!"
Liu Yaer looked at him with tears in her eyes, not recognizing him.
The captain pointed to Liu Dalin sleeping on the ground and said to the man: "Comrade, this is the Liu Dalin you are looking for."
The man had already walked to the bed, squatted down, looked at Liu Ya'er's father who was lying unconscious on the ground, stretched out his hand to check his breathing, and turned around and said: "Everyone, help me, send him to the hospital first."
Several people came over and carried Father Liu out with all their hands and feet.
After arriving at the nearest hospital, after first aid, Father Liu woke up. The man held Father Liu's hand tightly: "Old Liu! Do you still know me?"
Father Liu looked at him for a while and shook his head.
The man said: "I am Ling Hongjun! On the Korean battlefield, if you hadn't rushed to push me away and blocked me, I would be the one lying on the bed now!"
"You are... you are..." Liu Dalin couldn't believe it: "Are you really... Ling... Ling Hongjun?"
"Yes! I am Ling Hongjun. I have been looking for you for so many years!" Ling Hongjun said with emotion: "I have been looking for you for more than 40 years and finally found you. I didn't expect your life to be so good."
difficult!"
When the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, two young soldiers, Liu Dalin and Ling Hongjun, who had just celebrated their fifteenth birthday, responded to the call and concealed their age to enlist in the army. After a short training camp, they accompanied the army to the Korean battlefield.
At that time, we were worried that after occupying neighboring countries, Laos and the United States would take advantage of the situation and invade our side. Then the victory we had finally won would be in vain, and our people would continue to live in dire straits.
In order to protect their families and the country, there are many young people like them who, because they are not old enough but eager to join the army, increase their age by a few years and join the army.
After that battle, Liu Dalin returned to his hometown. For many years, he never mentioned his deeds on the Korean battlefield.
Every Spring Festival, Murakami sends him a New Year painting, and he considers it a great honor.
Because he was disabled and his family was poor, it was very difficult for Liu Dalin to find a wife, and he did not get married until he was in his forties.
One day, an old man brought a woman, saying that she was his daughter, who was a bit mentally retarded. He was old, and he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied if he died.
Hearing others say that Liu Dalin was loyal and honest, he secretly observed for a while and felt that he could entrust his daughter to Liu Dalin, so he took his daughter to propose marriage in person.
The old man hopes to marry his daughter to him so that they can take care of each other. But the old man has a request, which is for Liu Dalin to marry into his family.
Liu Dalin agreed and married into an old man's home. Then he married his wife and had Liu Ya'er.
So Liu Dalin is already over sixty years old, and Liu Ya'er is only seventeen years old.
When Liu Dalin's wife was just pregnant with Liu Ya'er, his father-in-law fell seriously ill and passed away.
Less than a year after giving birth to Liu Ya'er, his wife was gone, and Liu Dalin and Liu Ya'er were left to live alone.
Although Ling Hongjun had been looking for him, he could not find him because Liu Dalin had married into his father-in-law's house. It was not until recently that Ling Hongjun learned about Liu Dalin's exact place of life.
Now seeing how difficult Liu Dalin and his daughter are living, Ling Hongjun feels very sad.
