"Hey..." Su Xiaoli and Lin Jiu sighed deeply at the same time and stopped talking.
Su Mu lowered his head and glanced at the time on his wrist. It was only ten-fifteen now. He turned to Su Xiaoli and Lin Jiu and said, "It's still early now. Why don't we go to the third phase of the memorial hall to have a look?"
, I’m here anyway.”
"Okay." Su Xiaoli and Lin Jiu replied in unison.
However, what they didn't expect was that on the way to the third phase, they encountered Director Su Daonian who was walking alone.
Seeing the three of them, Su Daonian was a little surprised. He greeted Su Mu and said, "Why are you guys here?"
"Director Su." Su Mu called him very politely, and then smiled and said: "Since we have visited the first and second phases of the project, it is just a good time to visit the third phase by the way. It is not in vain for us to come here.
trip."
Su Daonian listened to his words and nodded repeatedly: "Young people, you really should come and take a look. These are all history..."
"Is Director Su also going to the third phase??" Su Mu looked at him strangely. From the look on his face, it probably wasn't his first time here.
"Yeah." Su Daonian nodded and looked at Su Mu in front of him. He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. He couldn't help but say more to him: "Do you know what the Anti-Japanese War is?
When did it start??”
Su Mu was startled for a moment, and then replied calmly: "I know, after the September 18th Incident broke out in 1931, the national conflicts between China and Japan increased, and China's local war of resistance began. On July 7, 1937, Japan provoked the Marco Polo Bridge
Incident, a full-scale war of aggression against China was launched, the Chinese military and civilians rose up to resist, the anti-Japanese national united front was formally formed, and China began the entire nation's war of resistance."
Su Daonian listened to his answer, his eyes full of appreciation. He nodded and said: "In 1937, after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, my grandfather was only ten years old that year. The Military Commission of the National Government officially announced that the Red Army would be reorganized into
The Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, he joined the Eighth Route Army at that time, and he was only eighteen years old until Japan surrendered in 1945."
"When I was a child, I was particularly envious of my grandfather. I thought he was a hero who fought against Japanese invaders, which was great. However, when he mentioned it himself, his eyes were filled with sadness. Later, when I grew up, I realized that
During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, countless of his comrades died under the gunfire of the Japanese army, and he was just the one who survived by chance. He was young at the time, and although he also participated in the Anti-Japanese War, most of the time, his comrades were able to fight on their own.
They would never let him go. Even when he grew up, those comrades always felt that he was still a child. This feeling was more like a shame than an honor to him, because he was protected.
that one."
"This is his hometown, and his comrades are also buried here."
Su Daonian raised his head, looked around, then sighed and said to Su Mu: "So I often come here to worship."
"Then your grandfather is eighty-five years old this year??" Su Mu asked Su Daonian curiously.
Su Daonian was slightly startled and asked strangely: "How did you know??"
"You just said that your grandfather was only ten years old in 1937." Su Mu reminded him helplessly.
