Heroes' choice -the true life of the centenary veteran soldiers

Inscription

When the smoke of the war dispersed and the history entered a smooth and wide slow current, living happily in this great era, do we remember those soldiers in the Korean battlefield in the ice and snow. Those heroes who wore single -clothes and single pants in the severe cold at minus 40 ° C, and froze on the banks of Changjin Lake. They exchanged the mountains and rivers with amazing sacrifice, and the years were quiet.

On the occasion of the "August 1st" Army Festival, let us approach a veteran against the United States and aid the North Korea, and offered our noble respect to his and his comrades.

"Xiong Xun, 气, cross the Yalu River, protect peace, and protect the motherland, which is to protect the hometown ..."

Won the former Li Village of Chengguan Town, Jiaxian County, in an ordinary farmer's courtyard, the singing voice sang for nearly 70 years.

His complexion, loud voice, and spiritual -Ma Changshun in front of us, as if he was not a century -old man. In the past two years, although he has blurred memory and has difficulty communicating with people, he can still stand and walk. As long as he walks into his house, he can often hear his high -pitched singing ...

On the weekend, relatives were sitting around Ma Changshun and his wife, watching the movie "Changjin Lake" together. Under the shock lens, the soldiers fell down, and the soldiers rushed up, and the flesh and blood could not help crying. The old man stood up strongly from the chair, slowly raised his left hand, and a solemn military ceremony!

Recalling the years of blood and fire, the old man seemed to return to the past.

Fearless

It was a difficult battle. "My father once told me that when he arrived at the Korean battlefield, he never thought of going home alive." The oldest son Ma Guanghai told reporters that the past years.

In October 1950, Ma Changshun's troops set off from the front line of Taiwan from the southeast coast of Fujian, and secretly entered North Korea to participate in the war. Ma Changshun's company is a machine artillery company, and Ma Changshun is the 270th Regiment of the 27th Army of the 9th Army of the 9th Corps.

After entering North Korea, Ma Changshun's troops came day and night. After marching for 7 days and nights, they reached the preset ambush area. On the road of marching, he had a slippery road at night and dangerous. He accidentally fell into the mountains, and even took a gun rack on the tree. The comrades hurriedly rescued him with his legs. On the night of November 27, the battle of Changjin Lake officially launched. The soldiers rushed to snow, cold, hunger, and fatigue, and held back to the United States Navy's land war division with a backward weapon. On November 28, the U.S. military used the advantages of equipment and air supporting crazy counterattacks and fighting breakouts. The US military artillery shells smashed on our army's position like rain. Ma Changshun's machine cannon has naturally become the target of the US military attack.

Ma Guanghai told reporters that his father had recalled, "The sky is bright, and the U.S. bombers have begun a carpet -like crazy bombing. Everyone is too late to rescue his comrades and can only hide in the trenches. After the U.S. military plane leaves, he can check the situation. "

In the crazy attack of the U.S. military, Ma Changshun's right arm during the battle was unfortunately hit by the cannon. When he woke up, he knew that it was a sacrifice comrade for his own body, so that he had escaped the U.S. military. Two killers, returned to domestic injuries after being rescued.

Born in 1922, joined the army in March 1948, joined the party in March 1949, and participated in the battle of Jinan, the Huaihai Battle, Crossing the River Crossing, and the War of Resistance to the United States. No fear of life and death, charge, and excessive medals.

In fact, this tall and handsome guy could have chosen to return to the field without having to die for a lifetime.

It was in September 1946. After the victory of the Anti -Japanese War, in order to expand the army and forced the army in the folk, Ma Changshun was forced to leave his wife and his son who had just over 6 months.

The turn of the matter occurred on March 2, 1948. The PLA team entered Zhouzhuang, Shandong, and compiled the local Kuomintang army. "At that time, the PLA asked the Kuomintang army officers and soldiers to choose. Those who wanted to join the People's Liberation Army could go with them. The ground chose to follow the Communist Party's dry revolution.

Since then, the person who couldn't even open the bolt in the Kuomintang forces became energy, and even he felt incredible. Due to the progress of ideas and heroic combat, Ma Changshun joined the Communist Party of China in Xu County, Anhui on March 1, 1949.

The sound of the assault on the screen continued to pass through the warfire smoke and the wreckage of the battlefield. Injury, I have to quit the battle. The left leg of severe frostbite just performed the fifth day ago.

Regretful

After healing, Ma Changshun, a radius was removed from his right arm, his upper limbs atrophied, elbow and wrist joints were atrophied. He could only be in a semi -flexion and extension state. Fifth -level disability soldier).

In May 1955, Ma Changshun, who was recuperating at the Provincial Rongkang Hospital at the time, made a lightning -like decision: abandoning excellent treatment treatment and retired to return to rural construction.

"Ma Changshun is back!" The peaceful Qian Licun was boiling. In the celebration, everyone unanimously supported him as the secretary of the village party branch, and it was 30 years. From then on, a hero who killed the enemy heroically on the battlefield hid his merit and name and opened another new battlefield.

After taking office, Ma Changshun promoted the fine tradition of the troops. He was particularly able to endure hardships, worked hard, and took the lead in doing things in front of the masses. According to Ma Liangfeng, the village woman director of the year: "The old horses work, and they are not like a person with disability at all. When they collect wheat, they can pile up ten meters high. How much, even more than young people. "In the village, everyone is afraid of Ma Changshun, because he is a person who" does not take a collective point and does not eat a public mouth. "

Zhang Jianguo, who is in his 80s, has "made a class" with Ma Changshun. In 1958, Ma Changshun went to the county to pull fertilizer together with everyone. When I passed a breakfast, Zhang Jianguo said, "Uncle, everyone came out early in the morning, and did not eat, and my stomach was hungry. Let's buy some porridge and steamed bun?" We must not spend money on the brigade, let's endure it. "

To this day, the former Licun people are proud that in the 1980s, when others were still worried about eating water, they had already drank tap water.

At the beginning of 1985, due to the shortage of water resources, people in former Licun often ran to the Tusui on a few miles away to pick water. In order to solve the difficulty of eating water, Ma Changshun decided to set up a tap water pipe in the village. Although the shortage of funds and no construction machinery, these are not hard. He led everyone to do it. After half a year, the tap water pipeline finally repaired, and Qianli Village became the first village in the town to eat tap water.

For more than 70 years, from the revolutionary soldiers to returning home to farmers, Ma Changshun's occupation and position have changed many times, but he loves the party, loves the motherland, and loves the people's original intention. The excellent style has never changed.

For 70 years, no matter how difficult it is, he has never reached out to the organization. Now, when receiving nearly 3,000 yuan per month, he is always satisfied.

Some people regret it for him: "I have made a lot of contributions. If I stayed in the recuperation home, the allowance must be made of pieces now."

"Many soldiers who fought alongside me died in the Korean battlefield. Compared to them, what qualifications do I have to invite me!" Speaking of these, the old man's voice trembled and his tears were full of eyes.

silent

With the loved ones, how much bitterness is sweet.

During the war and in the following years, the villagers thought that Ma Changshun was no longer alive.

Just after the Spring Festival in 1951, a letter from the Shijiazhuang soldiers' nursing home was sent to Ma Changshun's house. Several lines of characters were crooked, as if writing with left hand, but the content of the letter spread in the village: "Ma Changshun is still alive, injured and contributed on the Korean battlefield!"

There was no message for 5 years, and his wife Zhang Yuqing could be described as a torment day and night. Immediately, relatives and friends helped to make the toll, and the two of the maiden came to Shijiazhuang by train. The husband and wife met like a passage of life, crying with headache, saying thousands of words, turning into endless tears. Although the father and son met like a passerby, fortunately the family finally reunited.

The couple gave birth to 3 children. The eldest son Ma Guanghai has been a rural accounting for a lifetime. The second son, Ma Guangjiang, worked in the Xinxiang railway mechanism section. With her own ability, her daughter Ma Guangxia went to school and worked from the sciences to become a cadre in the county step by step.

Today, the biggest son is almost 80 years old. To describe his father in his eyes, he used two words: "hard work and kindness."

In the 1960s, the nearby villagers Han Juyuan's daughter -in -law had a serious illness and urgently needed money. Han Juyuan found Ma Changshun's help. Ma Changshun did not hesitate to take out his disabled subsidies and gave him dozens of yuan. Han Juyuan was very moved, and said that when he was rich, he would definitely go up. Two years later, Ma Guanghai thought of this incident and asked his father. But Ma Changshun said, "Don't do it, their family must be particularly difficult. It is worthwhile to help them help them." Who knows that after 10 years, Han Juyuan took money to Ma Changshun's house and thanked Ma Changshun in tears. Help of that year.

Today, the old man Ma Changshun and his wife Zhang Yuqing are deeply affectionate, and they have gone through a century of life. Three children and 6 grandsons are party members.

The spirit of pragmatism, justice, frugality, and gratitude in the old hero is engraved in the bones. His grandson, granddaughter, and grandson also learned a lot. "He retired due to injuries, and he always had some regrets in his heart, so I also hope that I can go to the troops to protect the country. However, for various reasons, I am not a soldier, and he is a little disappointed, but the grandfather's preaching tutoring gives us the best one to give us the best one. Education. "Great grandson Zhang Hua said.

In 2019, Ma Changshun won the commemorative medal of the "Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission; in 2020, the "70th Anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's 70th Anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission ; In 2021, it was awarded the "Glory 50 Years" commemorative by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

At the end of the sunset, with the end of the movie "Changjin Lake", Ma Changshun's singing sounded again in the small courtyard: "Hero, 气, crossed the Yalu River.

From the singing of the old man in the heart, people read the life and death choices of a Chinese soldier, and also felt that the mission of the shoulder was like mountains.
