Before Li Mu came here, it was hard to imagine that the old man who was so weak in the picture and even was dying could still have such clear thinking logic and speech expression.
Recalling the extraordinary years of that year, the old man's mood was particularly excited. After decades of stories, someone finally came to listen, and he himself said it with great joy.
The old man was born in 1915, his ancestral home is Wannan. When he was young, he had a rich family. He followed his business family to settle down in Hangzhou. He had a good education from childhood to youth. He was a standard progressive youth of the Republic of China.
In 1934, the old man was particularly infatuated with flying, and his family was rich, so his family paid money and sent the old man who did not meet the requirements to the central aviation school, which was also located in Hangzhou at that time. After the July 7th incident in 37, the Anti Japanese war broke out, and the old man moved to Yunnan Province with the school. Within a few days, the Japanese invaders launched an attack on the Shanghai market, and the battle of Songhu began.
During the battle of Songhu society, the parents of the old man fled to Jinling with his three brothers and sisters. At that time, the parents of the old man thought that Jinling was the capital and there was no safer place in the world than Jinling.
The old man's parents sold all the industries in Hangzhou, fled to Jinling with his brother and sister, and settled down in Jinling for less than half a year. At the end of 37, the Japanese army captured Nanjing, and launched the heinous massacre in human history. The old man's parents, brother and sister, as well as his elder brother's wife and children, all died under the Japanese butcher.
At that time, the old man who was in Yunnan Province heard the news completely collapsed. If paoze didn't pay attention to it all the time, the old man would have killed himself and reunited with his family in Jiuquan. But paoze in the army made him understand a truth: the rise and fall of the country and everyone is responsible. His biggest responsibility is not to follow the dead relatives, but to wait for the opportunity to avenge for the dead relatives, revenge for the compatriots, and attack the Japanese invaders until The Japanese surrendered.
Later, the old man came out of the aviation school and became a pilot of the national air force, which opened a tragic half life legend.
In 1945, the old man's National Air Force cooperated with the United States to bomb Japan. The old man flew a fighter plane to cover the American bombers returning from Japan. At that time, Japan was in the final frenzy. The old man was shot down by the Japanese army in an escort, fell on his skull in the process of parachuting in the mountains, and was rescued by the local villagers together with several American pilots After several months of rolling back to Chuncheng, the old man's skull injury was also in that period of time. Because of the lack of timely and effective treatment, the sequelae left little impact on life, but it is no longer suitable to continue to drive a fighter plane.
It was because there was no way to continue to drive the aircraft that the old man turned into a civilian, and then married and had children in the local area. His son was born in the early 48's, and the family of three enjoyed a happy life. Although this life was plain and happy, the Chinese Army began to prepare to withdraw to Taiwan when it was about to liberate in 49.
At that time, the school had four transport planes ready to take off from Chuncheng, with the backbone of the national army and air force in Chuncheng, their families, and their softness. At that last moment, every kilogram of load on the plane was worth thousands of gold to them. The leader of the aviation brigade thought that the old man was the winner of the Four Star Medal sequence in the Anti Japanese War, and shot down four Japanese fighters, so he was flying specially In that special age, this is the best he can do.
In those days, there were many officers and soldiers of the national army. Because there was only one ticket or boat ticket, they had to give up their wives and children and go to Taiwan alone with the national army. In their opinion, this one-way ticket was extremely rare, and they had to hold it anyway, but sun Xiaozhong didn't accept it. He felt that he had lost all his relatives in 37 years, and only after eight years of Anti Japanese war did he have new relatives And the only blood, he can not abandon them, go to Taiwan alone, moreover, in his opinion, Taiwan does not let him yearn for at all, he wants to stay in this struggling land, together with his wife and children, although in the face of the change of political power, his future is uncertain.
Later, Li Mu heard that the old man remained in the local area after liberation. He was reported in the historical movement and repeatedly criticized for labor reform. Fortunately, he lost the opportunity to drive a fighter plane after the end of the Anti Japanese war. Otherwise, if he had participated in the liberation war, he would have suffered more in the historical movement.
Talking about the past, the old man didn't feel too sad. He said that he had experienced too much family sorrow in his life. After so many years and so many things, even if he didn't want to be numb, he was numb. His only regret was that he didn't have the chance to go back to Jinling to find the bodies of his relatives and bury them, and his only son was still in the dark.
The old man sighed, "the first regret is that it's impossible to make up for half of the points in this life. Only in the afterlife can we make a living for them. The second regret is that there may be a glimmer of hope in this life, but we dare not ask for it."
The host said, "please tell us your wife and son's name, age and relevant information. We will then mobilize netizens from all over the country to help you find their whereabouts!"
The old man nodded gratefully: "thank you! Thank you so much! "
Later, the old man talked to the camera about his wife's name, native place, birthplace and date of birth, and then introduced his son. The son was born on March 23, 48. The old man named him sun LIANLI, Xiao mingxi'er, and the word Xi came from the old man's ancestral place name. When the old man and his wife and children were separated, the son was less than five years old, so more about his son He can't remember the details and can't provide them.The old man has little hope of finding his son or his descendants, but Li Mu thinks that the chance of success is not small. If the old man's son and the old man are four or five years old respectively, they must have some impression on their father and their childhood. They must remember the relevant characteristics of their father, remember the location of their hometown, and remember the time when they left their father. If he is a young man, he must remember his father's relevant characteristics, remember his hometown's location, and remember the time when he left his father When his mother can tell him more about his father when he grows up, he should know more about his father than his father.
The old man has lived in seclusion in the mountains for so many years. I don't know if his son has tried to find him. But even if his son hasn't, as long as he is alive and can receive this video, he must be able to recognize his father's identity, so the rate of finding him is very high.
It's hard for ordinary people to find one out of the 1.3 billion people, I'm afraid. But for Li Mu, he has such a huge user group as YY and a large number of media resources. It's not necessarily difficult to find such a person.
So, Li Mu promised the old man, "don't worry, elder. We will try our best to let the whole nation see your interview, know your story and know your past. We will also broadcast the relevant information of your wife and son. With the help of the whole nation, there is still a great chance to find it!"
The old man nodded happily: "that's good, that's good. If they are still alive and can see me, I will die without regret. I'm afraid that I will close my eyes before that day."
Li Mu said in a hurry, "your physical and mental health are very good. If you come down the mountain with us to the hospital for a systematic examination and a good recuperation, your physical condition will be better."
The old man waved his hand: "thank you for your kindness. I've lived here for decades. I'm used to it. I have no family or hometown. I can't remember my childhood home in southern Anhui. I can't find the ancestral tomb. The house I lived in Hangzhou was sold by my parents 37 years ago. It's just the foothold of my family, not my root. My parents There are also brothers and sisters buried in Jinling, but I don't know where they lived in Jinling when they were alive. I saved money to go to Jinling three times in the early years, but when I came to Jinling, I didn't know where to worship them. I could only ask the local people everywhere. I heard that there were thousands of people's pits, so I bought a bottle of wine and knife paper to worship there, but I couldn't find them in my life To their bones, so I have no roots, no roots... "
When talking about it, the old man seemed to be old for a long time. His eyelids were drooping feebly. His upright waist bent up again. He dropped two big muddy tears, sighed and said, "the old saying is that I didn't believe it when I was young. I thought it was old feudal thought. But the longer I lived, the more I wanted to give myself Find a root, but I can't find the root of my own ancestors and my parents. I have lived here for so many years, so this is my root. "
Liu Xin said in a hurry, "old master, the medical and convalescent conditions outside the mountain are good. You can keep your body and bones better, so you can live longer. In addition, if your son finds you in the future, you can meet you outside the mountain."
With a wry smile, the old man said, "I'm eighty-eight years old. I've lived long enough to this day. I don't want to live long enough. Sometimes it's not luck, but torture. I don't want to live long enough. I just want to take the last breath here. If I breathe in other places, the best environment and conditions are not my root. If I can find my son in the future, I will I'd like him to come to see me at the father and son's meeting. If I die, I'll add some earth to my grave. This mountain, I won't go out again. "
Liu Xinxin burst into tears and said: "even if you can't find your son when you go out, you can enjoy the happiness. You have worked so hard for so many years, and the society owes you so much, so you always have to give the society a chance to make up..."
The old man said with a smile, "the society owes nothing to me. Those brothers who fought side by side in the past were all devoted to fighting against Japan, serving the country, serving the country, and serving the country by the soldiers. It's like filial piety to our parents. It's our born responsibility and obligation. We didn't do our duty before we let the Japanese come in for so many years. If we owe, it's also our duty In, we owe the country and the common people who died in the hands of the Japanese. "
Liu Xin said: "don't say that..."
The old man said seriously, "I'm talking from the bottom of my heart. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, many soldiers think so. Especially when the postwar war war losses are counted, overthrown by new numbers, and the number of casualties is accumulated, we all feel that we owe too much to this nation. If we put more together in those years, maybe we can reduce this number by one." Some, if we had become benevolent at the beginning, the number would have been even less. Cao Zhi said that if we died in the national calamity, we would have gone back to the country as if we were dead, which is the true portrayal of us at that time... "
Liu Xin is so worried that she can't cry. The purpose of Liu Xin's coming here is to persuade the old man to leave anyway. However, she can't change the old man's decision completely. This makes her not only feel deeply frustrated, but also feel deeply remorseful.When he didn't know what to do, Liu Xin looked at Li Mu with a pair of eyes for help. His eyes were full of entreaties and expectations. He hoped that Li Mu could find a way to persuade the old man to go down the mountain.
Li Mu didn't know what to do.
Let the old man go to the big city to recuperate, have better living conditions, the old man is not moved; let the old man go out and wait for his son's whereabouts, the old man is still not moved; when hoping to compensate the old man for the whole society, the old man feels that he owes the nation, what can he do at this time?
Li Mu's mind flashed an idea. Although the old man went to Jinling earlier to look for the bones of his relatives, it was estimated that the Holocaust Memorial Hall had not been built at that time. It was only 20 years ago that the Holocaust Memorial Hall was built. There are the most detailed relevant files. One is that he can take the old man to check the whereabouts of his relatives. The other is that he can let the old man sacrifice his relatives in the memorial hall Think of Li Mu giving up.
The old man is too old. Don't let him experience that bloody atrocity in another way.
However, apart from this, what else can move him and persuade him?
Li Mu also fell into deep meditation.
A moment later, Li Mu suddenly came to Liu Xin and asked her, "do you have the list of Flying Tigers you have found?"
"Yes." "I have some printed materials in my bag," Liu said
"Take it out."
Liu Xin hurriedly pulls out a folded list from his bag. Some of these lists are very detailed and some are very vague. The detailed information includes the name of the person, the date of birth, the place of origin, the place of current residence and the information about his previous position. Only one person's name and the approximate area of residence are vague.
Li Mu handed the list to the old man and said, "senior, this is the surviving flying tiger team and the air force pilot of the Chinese army that we have found so far. Do you know the names on it?"
The old man got excited and wanted to see the list carefully, but because the words on it were too small to recognize clearly, he could only look at Li Mu with pleading eyes and said excitedly, "young man, I can't see clearly, please read it for me!"
"Good!" Seeing that the old man was so excited, Li Mu knew that there was something wrong with it. So he took over the list and read one name.
"Chen Zhengbu, Li Quanyin, Huang Zizhong..."
Every time he read a name, the old man would frown for half a day, but every time he shook his head regretfully.
Until Li Mu read a name, the old man suddenly shivered with excitement.
"What's his name again?"
"Han Zili, the son of heirs, stands upright."
"Zili, is Zili still alive?"
