Five years ago, on August 15, 1945, the Japanese Emperor announced unconditional surrender. On September 9, the surrender ceremony of the Chinese Theater was held in the auditorium of the Central Military Academy in Gyeongnam, the then capital. The entire process of the ceremony was recorded via radio
The wave spread to all parts of the country.
After listening to the broadcast from the chat box, Lao Jintou burst into tears and laughed, and passed away suddenly in his bedroom that night at the age of 80. At that time, he was wearing a shroud that had been prepared, and his expression was
Anping. There is a written suicide note on the table in the study. In the suicide note, Lao Jintou gave all his property to his godson Sun Cheng. Because Sun Cheng was away at the time, Sun Cheng's parents took over and kept it. In addition, Lao Jintou
The head hoped that Sun Cheng’s parents would cremate his body and place his ashes in a jar. After Sun Cheng returned home, they would scatter his ashes into the Bohai Sea. Behind the suicide note was a list of properties, an HSBC bank deposit receipt, and a deposit of US$100,000;
A deposit receipt from the Bank of France, worth 20,000 US dollars; 12 large yellow croakers and several silver dollars hidden at home...
Speaking of Lao Jintou recognizing Sun Cheng as his godson, there is a story here.
In 1912, Lao Jintou bought this house and got to know the Sun and Cao families. Sun Cheng's father had a family tradition of mason's craftsmanship, and he formed a fixed team with several workers to build or repair houses for others.
Sun's mother and the other two women were responsible for washing, cooking, packing tools, and cleaning for them when they were working. The Sun family was not financially well-off when they first came here, and their income was higher than what ordinary people could earn by working hard.
People with money have limited strengths.
In 1916, Sun Cheng was born. Sun’s mother took care of him at home for a year. It happened that Cao Tianbao got married at this time. Cao Tianbao worked as a clerk and accountant and earned a good income, so he did not let his new daughter-in-law go out to work, but stayed at home full-time.
Mother Sun was liberated as soon as she came. When she was alive, she asked Mrs. Cao to help take care of the children. Lao Jintou liked children very much. He went to a private school when he was a child, so he took on the important task of educating his children in reading and literacy. In 1921, Cao Da
Chu was born, and his childhood was spent in this way. In 1924, the newly married Mr. Liu and his wife moved into the courtyard. The couple were both international students who had returned from Europe. Mr. Liu taught at Tsinghua School (now Tsinghua University), and Mrs. Liu lived in the capital.
They taught at the Xiangshan Salesian Home. The two of them usually lived on campus separately and came back on holidays. In 2026, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Liu Hanwen, was born. When she was young, she was raised by Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Sun together. The enlightenment education of all the children in the small hospital was
It was completed by Lao Jintou and Mr. Liu.
Sun Cheng started working on construction sites to build houses with his parents when he was 13 years old. Two years later, 5-year-old Liu Hanwen entered Mrs. Liu’s school’s kindergarten (kindergarten in nature) and lived on campus like Mrs. Liu. Chef Cao
He likes to cook. At the age of 10, he was accepted as an apprentice by one of Lao Jintou's theater friends. That person turned out to be a master chef in Baylor's mansion. After the pigtail country was gone, Baylor also ran away, and the master chef went to a family.
He worked as a master cabinet in a large restaurant, and now he is old and enjoying his old age at home. He met Lao Jintou when he was attending a theater. The two were similar in age and gradually became good friends.
The younger ones all had things to do on weekdays, so Lao Jintou was free. He was very rich, and he drank tea and watched theater every day, but in the end he was targeted.
It was an evening in the winter of 1932. Lao Jintou was returning home after listening to a play. He was beaten with a sap at a corner not far from his home. Two gangsters put Lao Jintou into a sack, stuffed it into a rickshaw, and drove
Arrived outside the city.
16-year-old Sun Cheng happened to be away from the construction site that day. He went home to change tools. Seeing this, he was brave and cautious and kept silent. He carried the bricklaying knife he used when working and quietly followed the gangsters.
Later, in a ruined temple outside the city, the gangsters tied up Lao Jintou, who woke up, and the two of them discussed countermeasures. The gangsters originally just wanted to kidnap the money and collect ransom, but now they met Lao Jintou directly, and the two decided
They kept doing nothing, first tearing up the ticket, and then using the items on Lao Jintou's body to defraud his family for ransom. They didn't know that Lao Jintou was a loner and thought the house was a family. The two lit torches, one after the other.
, holding a knife and holding Lao Jintou, ready to go to the back of the temple to attack.
At this time, it was completely dark. Sun Cheng hid in the corner, holding his bricklaying knife tightly in his hand. When the gangsters holding torches passed by, he refrained from moving. The gangsters behind him walked past his
When he was in position, he suddenly jumped out from behind the gangster and wiped his neck with a brick knife.
Although one gangster was solved, the second gangster was not easy to deal with. Sun Cheng was only 16 years old and was not as strong as the adult gangsters. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and dared to fight hard. He took advantage of the thick clothes on his body in winter and exchanged one knife for another.
After being stabbed three times on the body, he finally stabbed the knife into the gangster's eye and killed him.
After Sun Cheng untied the rope that tied Lao Jintou, he slowly fell to the ground. Lao Jintou, who was almost 70 years old, didn't know where he got the strength to carry Sun Cheng into the rickshaw left by the gangsters.
He took him back to the city.
Back in the city, Lao Jintou couldn't walk anymore. However, his advantage of having money came into play. He abandoned his old car, hailed a new rickshaw, and went directly to the best missionary hospital at that time.
He spared no expense and spent a lot of money to use the best doctors and the best medicines on Sun Cheng, and finally rescued Sun Cheng who was seriously injured and lost too much blood.
Two months later, Sun Cheng recovered from the hospital and returned home. The next day, Lao Jintou invited his friends and held a banquet at Huixian Hall not far from home, where he held a grand ceremony to recognize Sun Cheng as his godson.
ceremony.
After acknowledging his marriage, Lao Jintou seemed to be reborn. He used to have hidden things in his heart and always seemed a little depressed. After having a grandson, he told Sun Cheng his secret.
Lao Jintou's surname is not Jin, but his surname is Qi, and his ancestral home is Yilin, Shandong. His family has made a living by picking and selling Chinese herbal medicines for generations. After 1860, the braid country officially opened the ban on reclamation, lifted the ban on Northeast China, and started a wave of poor people from Shandong to invade Guandong.
The climax of the story. The grandfather of Lao Jintou, who had separated from his family, took his newly grown son to Kanto together. They were born and died for many years, built a business with difficulty, and settled down in Dalian. Generations of heads of the family have always adhered to the principle of genuine goods and children.
He did business according to the principle of no deception, and he was generous and loyal. By the third generation of Lao Jintou, his business was becoming more and more prosperous, and he was already a wealthy family in the local area.
In 1911, Lao Jintou had a prosperous career, a happy family, both parents, a virtuous wife and a filial son. Moreover, his daughter-in-law was already pregnant, and the family was about to welcome four generations under one roof. It could be said that he was at the peak of his life.
Matsuda Koji, a Japanese ronin. After the Japanese-Mao War, he followed his uncle Matsuda Haruki, who was the captain of the Manchurian Railway Garrison (the predecessor of the Kwantung Army), to the leased area of Lianda. Relying on Matsuda Haruki, he searched everywhere
The business was a big business, and they made a living by fighting the autumn wind. After Lao Jintou's family asked for money several times and was rejected, he became angry and began to seek wealth and death. At that time, Lianda was just a leased area of the Japanese country. On the surface, China and Japan
The Japanese coexisted peacefully, and the Japanese were not as unscrupulous as they were after September 18th.
Matsuda Koji and his uncle Matsuda Haruki set up a poisonous plan. The Japanese soldiers of Matsuda Haruki's team, disguised as Kanto horse bandits, broke into the old Jintou's mansion in the early morning and killed dozens of people in the house.
They plundered property in the mansion and retreated with them. Immediately, Matsuda Haruki represented the Japanese army, confusing right and wrong, and a piece of paper clarified the matter. The article claimed that Lao Jintou's family were accomplices of the horse bandits, and due to uneven distribution of the spoils,
The family was wiped out by horse bandits. Therefore, the Japanese army seized Lao Jintou's mansion and shop, and a month later, they transferred them to the family of a Japanese army officer and Matsuda Koji respectively at a price that was almost free.
However, Lao Jintou escaped the catastrophe because he made a temporary delivery to Tianjin. When he returned to Lianda Wharf with great joy, he was told the bad news by his friends. Under the thunderbolt from the blue, Lao Jintou did not lose his balance.
, he quickly left the dock and called a few guys following him to disguise themselves and go to the city to inquire about the news.
Soon, the increasingly arrogant Matsuda Koji started talking nonsense in the tavern, which made Lao Jintou quickly figure out the truth of the matter.
Thinking of his grey-haired and kind parents, his virtuous wife with a sweet smile, his still immature son who has already established a family and a career, and his soon-to-be-born grandson, Lao Jintou felt like his heart was twisting in a knife, and he burst into tears. He vowed to avenge his blood to the death.
hatred.
Lao Jintou secretly collected the remains of his family members, but due to limited conditions at the time, they had to be cremated and stored in jars.
The network of contacts woven by many years of philanthropy protected Lao Jintou and lurked for half a year until the critical day.
