Chapter 986: Patriotic Fund
…
Liu Dong, who was about to sit down, had nothing to do, so he approached the wing out of curiosity. However, as soon as he reached the door, a faint smell of urine and feces hit his mouth and nose, but it was difficult compared to this.
What surprised Liu Dong was the smell and the scene in the wing.
I saw four old men lying side by side on an earthen bed by the window. One of them had already sat up and was leaning on the bedside to talk to the old man just now.
Seeing Liu Dong, the old man surnamed Zhang just now patted the left hand of the old man with a thin face who was leaning on the head of the bed and walked towards Liu Dong.
The thin old man also smiled at Liu Dong, but Liu Dong also saw from his swollen and lifeless eyes that the old man was already blind!
"Old sir, who are they?" Liu Dong asked.
"They are all my old comrades-in-arms. When they fought against Japan, they all left their body parts on the battlefield! After recovering from the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they all had the same homelessness and roomlessness as me, no one to care for them, no one to love them.
There is a place to go. So, I brought them all here! After so many years, these four are the only ones left! Time is not forgiving!" the old man sighed.
"You are all anti-Japanese heroes, doesn't the government care?" Liu Dong said with some anger and disbelief in his heart.
"We are all the Kuomintang!" the old man laughed.
Three simple words made Liu Dong's expression suddenly freeze!
The difference in words between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reflects China’s continuous confrontation and grievances for more than half a century! Especially the existence of Taiwan is like a stick in the throat!
Because of this, these national elites who fought and sacrificed for the country in the Anti-Japanese War became a group of people forgotten by the country after the founding of the People's Republic of China. More than half a century later, most of them have already lost their desire to be recognized by the country.
After finishing his life, the rest of them are living in silence!
Limited to his own experience and accumulation, Liu Dong had no way of guessing why the national government did this!
He didn't choose how much money to leave, he just helped the old man prepare lunch, said goodbye and left!
The old man personally sent him to the door and thanked him for his rescue. Liu Dong could not see any resentment towards the country in him. He just lamented that time is not forgiving. In the meantime, he told Liu Dong some things about the war that year.
!
Every time the battle at Taierzhuang was mentioned, the old man's face lit up with excitement. Liu Dong understood that it was his lifelong pride.
Parking the Hummer at the intersection of the urban village, looking at the old house that had been blocked by many buildings and unable to be seen in the distance! Liu Dong felt a little heavy in his heart.
"Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world!"
This is a sentence that his father often said to him when he was a child, and Liu Dong still remembers it firmly in his heart.
So after a moment of silence, Liu Dong took out his mobile phone!
"Hey, Director Liu!"
"Jianhui, are you still in Hong Kong now?" Liu Dong asked immediately.
"Here, Director Liu! I have good news for you. The Swire Group has initially agreed to our plan. I believe that in another week, we will be able to sign the industry division contract!" Feng Jianhui said.
But to his surprise, Liu Dong didn't have much joy in his voice when he heard the news. He just said "hmm" and then there was no news for a long time!
"Jianhui, has the Hanhua Fund Department been established now?"
Although Liu Dong's question was a bit unexpected, Feng Jianhui still quickly said: "The establishment has been completed, but because we have just been established, we don't have much business yet!"
"I know, now you immediately help me set up a charity fund and allocate the first batch of 100 million US dollars from my name! It mainly helps those domestic Kuomintang veterans who were physically disabled, had no one to support them and lived in poverty during the Anti-Japanese War.
!”
Hearing the strangeness in Liu Dong's tone, Feng Jianhui hesitated and didn't ask any more questions. "I understand, Director Liu! I will handle this matter as soon as possible!"
"Well! However, the use of our fund is not to simply distribute money to each other, but to build nursing homes in various provinces in the country. We will take in the veterans who meet our support conditions and take care of them in their old age! Do you understand?
?”
"Don't worry, Director Liu, I know what to do! But, Director Liu! The name of this fund...?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Dong thought of the old man he had just left, and said solemnly: "Let's call it the National Defense Fund!"
"Guoguo Fund?" Feng Jianhui said after being stunned for a moment, "Director Liu, is this appropriate? I'm afraid there will be criticism from the domestic government!"
It is not easy to apply for a name with the word "国", especially the word "国"!
"Just go ahead and ask Brother Zhou for help if you encounter difficulties! I will call him personally then!" Liu Dong said.
"Yes, I understand!" Feng Jianhui knew Liu Dong's deep connections in China, so he didn't say any more.
hang up the phone!
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Dong called Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong, Lu Mingyuan, and Jiang Tingting respectively, asking them for help. Finally, he even called Mr. Li. For this matter, Liu Dong spent almost all his resources.
The network is activated!
"You are right about this. The country owed them before, and now we have the responsibility to take care of their lives! Don't worry, although I have retired long ago, I still have some influence within the government. I guarantee this
No one will make things difficult for you!" Mr. Li assured.
"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you thanking? If I want to say something, it should be me thanking you on behalf of the country!"
"You are getting serious, I am also a Chinese!"
"Yes, haha! Xiaodong, you are more and more impressive to me, an old man!"
After being humble and chatting with Mr. Li for a few more words, Liu Dong hung up the phone!
Looking at the village in the city this time, the heaviness in Liu Dong's heart finally disappeared a lot, "That's all I can do. I hope to help more veterans!"
With his thoughts down, Liu Dong started the car, accelerated slowly and then left!
But Liu Dong did not return to the airport, but went directly from Xi'an to Famen Temple!
At this time, Famen Temple was not as magnificent as it was later, but the quiet and simple temple scenery made Liu Dong enjoy it even more!
Looking at the tall and renovated octagonal pagoda, Liu Dong couldn't help but think of the miniature octagonal pagoda when he obtained the relic Yuan Guang. Except for the difference in size, the two were almost similar!
With a pious attitude, after buying the tickets, Liu Dong first visited the underground palace. The underground palace was only 31.48 square meters in size, but it contained a Buddhist "historical record" that traced the history and culture! It is also the largest underground palace in the world so far.
The oldest, largest and highest-level pagoda underground palace ever discovered, it is the ninth wonder of the world.
In this narrow underground palace, four finger bone relics of Buddha Sakyamuni are enshrined, 121 (sets) of gold and silverware enshrined by the Tang royal family, and the Tang royal family's secret color porcelain series discovered for the first time.
From ancient Rome and other places to the Glazed Ware Group, thousands of pieces of silk (gold) fabrics embodying silk weaving techniques of the Tang Dynasty, including the embroidered skirts and costumes of Tang emperors such as Wu Zetian, are rare treasures.
The large number, variety, high grade, and intact preservation of these rare treasures are extremely rare.
There are as many as 40 national treasure-level cultural relics, and as many as 148 first-class cultural relics and above, which are extremely rare in the world of archaeology!
Therefore, although Liu Dong wanted to improve the level of his relic Yuanguang as soon as possible, he couldn't help but slow down and carefully appreciate all the top Tang Dynasty artworks displayed in the entire temple one by one.
And to Liu Dong's surprise, almost all 2,499 cultural relics contained strong Buddha light, not counting one real body relic, two shadow bone relics, and one induction relic! Liu Dong's relic Yuanguang still broke through
The radius of 800 meters, especially when I saw the famous gilt double-wheeled twelve-ring tin staff! The rich spiritual light on it suddenly made Liu Dong's relic Yuanguang break through 900 meters!
When Liu Dong was overjoyed and walked to the only four remaining relics, especially when he was close to the finger bone relic of Sakyamuni, the golden relics in the sea of consciousness jumped violently again. If he hadn't restrained himself,
It almost jumped out from the Baihui point on the top of my head!
Feeling this familiar and familiar fluctuation again, Liu Dong felt a thump in his heart and thought to himself: "It's broken!"
I remember that when he was in Myanmar, he just allowed the relics to move freely. As a result, the Shwedagon Pagoda flourished and the strange light attracted the attention of the world. There is still discussion about this matter to this day.
Liu Dong would never want to experience such a sensation again!
After all, the country is not Myanmar, and the country’s control here is not comparable to that of Myanmar, a country where internal warlords are fighting! As long as there is a big movement, he who bought the ticket will easily appear on the country’s investigation list, plus
He was present in the last two visions, so no one would doubt it!
Liu Dong never placed his hopes on luck, so this time he firmly suppressed the beating of the relics' Yuan Guang, and slowly channeled the auras from the four relics.
Although it is a little slower, it is better because it moves less!
Fortunately, because the scanning radius of the relic light is huge, the abnormality is not always noticed by the people around!
An hour later, when the relics in the mustard space finally settled down, Liu Dong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he felt the relics' original light that had reached a radius of more than a thousand meters, and couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart.
Feeling relieved.
“This trip was finally not in vain!”
The scanning radius of the spherical relic element with a radius of one kilometer and a diameter of two kilometers not only directly expanded Liu Dong's mustard seed space to nearly 680 million cubic meters, which was twice the original size. What's more important is that now he is looking for it in the vast sky.
The rare century-old snow lotus gave Liu Dong some confidence! (To be continued.)
