Chapter 1608 Youth and Country: Traveling with the whole class (20)
Gu Mo stood outside the mourning hall and watched this scene, hearing the original man's complicated voice.
"I have never met my great-grandmother. She had already sacrificed her life for many years when I was born. I can only know from my grandmother's description that she was a great woman. In fact, I never knew what made her great, but now I
Understood……"
"The women in this family are all great. When the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, they sent their sons and husbands to the battlefield. They scrimped on food and clothing at home, and then sent them to the front line to save money. Later, their husbands and sons died in the war.
, they themselves went to the battlefield, and my great-grandmother later died on the battlefield..."
I have a good heart, and even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets.
In this era, families like the Gu family abound.
All the men in the family have gone to defend the family and the country, and only the old, weak, women and children are left. All the men are dead. There is no other way. The old, weak, women and children are also dead...
The so-called heroes are actually just ordinary people with a great heart.
When he finally left Gu's house, Jiang Chen stood in that alley for a long time.
Sun Jing'an asked him, "Jiang Chen, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Chen asked, "Do you feel that this alley is familiar?"
Sun Jing'an looked at it carefully and said, "I have always felt that it is very familiar, and I don't know what it was like here in our time..."
Jiang Chen swallowed, "Do you still remember the alley where we shot the cross-dressing video?"
At that time, they were filming the yellow-skinned cross-dressing of Dongdao people. Later, a crazy old man appeared and disrupted their filming. Later, Gu Mo appeared...
Jiang Chen actually regrets it now. He feels that his brain must have been crazy at that time. How could he have thought of taking pictures of that yellow skin?
Now that he saw that yellow skin, he felt that they were incompatible with each other and gritted his teeth...
Sun Jing'an also reacted immediately, "Yes, this alley is that alley! It's exactly the same..." Junqu Pavilion
Everything around here has changed, tens of thousands of tall buildings are rising from the ground, and the neon lights at night illuminate the entire twin canals passing through the city. Only this alley has not changed...
No, there is also the Gu family...
Gu family?
etc……
Familiar alleys, the third grandfather with a broken brain, both have the surname Gu...
Sun Jing'an and Jiang Chen looked at each other and suddenly seemed to understand something, but they were not sure.
They had been trying to find time to ask Gu Mo for confirmation, but they were too nervous to do so.
It wasn't until he left the town that Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Gu Mo, "Teacher Gu, does that family named Gu have anything to do with you?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Commander Gu who died in the battle was my great-grandfather. He had a name, Gu Zexiang."
students,"……??"
Gu Zexiang, this name is so familiar...
Damn it!
Teacher Gu's great-grandfather was Gu Zexiang, who "traveled three thousand miles and could stop a million divisions with one sword"?
Later, there was a blockbuster movie based on the historical figure Gu Zexiang, and the school even organized them to watch it.
And they actually traveled to this era and witnessed Gu Zexiang's heroic death in battle?!
Although in the movie, Gu Zexiang stood up and rushed forward before he died, which was not consistent with the scene they saw of Gu Zexiang committing suicide, the movie failed to move them. Seeing Gu Zexiang commit suicide and die for his country, it moved them to tears...
In addition to being moved, there is also anger, anger at one's own powerlessness, anger towards the people of the East Island...
For such a great man, he was also Gu Mo's great-grandfather. No wonder when this section was taught in class, Gu Mo's eyes turned red every time and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak anymore.
Even though it was like this through the textbook, now Gu Mo saw the death of her great-grandfather and two grandfathers with her own eyes. When her grandfather died, she even carried their ashes all the way and sent them back...
"Teacher Gu, are you... okay?"
Gu Mo didn't say anything, and the students were helpless to comfort them, "Teacher Gu, don't be too sad, they, they are all our pride!"
Jiang Chen and Sun Jing'an feel ashamed when they think of the old man they bullied Gu Mo's third grandfather in the alley, an old man whose head was injured on the battlefield at the age of fourteen.
Gu Mo smiled softly at this time, but his tone was heavy and sad, "Actually, there is nothing to be proud of in such a death. Our country will finally no longer need to be beaten in the future, and we will not have to sacrifice countless lives to prove our dignity. Only then will we be able to prove our dignity."
This is something we should be proud of..."
She paused for a moment, and then said, "But as soon as I think of the fact that in such an era, there were such a group of people who fought and sacrificed for it, and that's why we were so proud of the rise of great powers, and we are enjoying peace and prosperity, I just think
I think they are really amazing..."
The students finally agreed with this sentence, "They have always been great. They have never asked us to remember them, but we should never forget..."
"Teacher Gu, I'm sorry, we didn't know the situation in your family was like this. When you talked about this before, we didn't take it seriously..."
As a descendant of heroes and martyrs, the saddest thing is probably to see that our ancestors defended this land with their lives, but they don't get the respect they deserve from future generations, right?
"In this land, three generations ago, which family didn't have a few people who died in war? It's just that you have never understood it, and you are not willing to understand the sacrifices they made for this."
Gu Mo looked at the students, "You have not sorry for me, nor for anyone. It's just that you have forgotten the things that should be remembered and wasted the life that should be cherished. This will chill the hearts of our ancestors."
"The teacher does not force you to give up the good days in the future and live in the hard days now. The ancestors did not work hard to let you live in the hard days they lived. But you should not forget them, nor should they erase their sacrifices.
You shouldn't do things that rub salt into their wounds..."
The students lowered their heads, and Gu Mo pointed to the Gu family's old house at the end of the alley.
"Look, at one end of this alley is the Gu family, where the ashes of my great-grandfather and two grandfathers are enshrined, and at the end of the alley, it will be the most prosperous center of Jinyuan City in the future, and they can all see it.
, can see the great rivers and mountains of this motherland, finally as they expected during their lifetime, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the flowers are blooming."
They thought of the prosperity here in later generations, and then looked back at the Gu family's old house. At this moment, it seemed that two time and space were connected, and they were the link between time and space...
Because they saw the present ancestors for future generations, and also saw for their ancestors the peaceful and prosperous age and the dignity of a great country that they expected.
Just when the students were deeply touched, there was a sudden rumble in the sky. When they looked up, they saw densely packed airplanes whizzing by overhead.
