"Be sure to rest in peace!" For this promise, the veteran gave 83 unknown martyrs for 70 years

The intersection news "These days is a big day, and someone will be sacrificed. We must take care of the big and small things in the cemetery ..." On August 1st, because of physical reasons, he failed to take care of the martyrs' tomb. Jin Lizhen, a 94 -year -old man in Sihong County, city, was lying in the heart of the bed, and he was always difficult to let go, and repeatedly entrusted the staff of the local retired soldiers' service station.

In order to fulfill his promise, Kim Lizhen has obliged 83 unknown martyrs' tombs in the past 70 years. The reporter learned that Jin Lizhen joined the army in 1942 and joined the party in 1948. He successively participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and the United States. "At that time, I was still small, and there was no gun tall. I could only be a communicator for the chief." Jin Lizhen recalled that once, his troops were chased by the Japanese army and retreated urgently. Because of the age and no fighting experience, I haven't had time to react when I encountered artillery shells. At the critical moment, a comrade -in -arms rushed over to push him down and lay on him. As a result, his comrades -in -arms died, but he survived.

"At that time, I promised in my heart that to let my comrades who rescued me in peace, and let all the martyrs who sacrificed on the battlefield settled." The old man said that in 1953, he went home from the army to visit relatives and learned that his hometown was in Longji Town, Sihong County, Sihong County. 83 unknown martyrs could only be buried on the spot in the war, and the cemetery gradually became deserted due to no management.

Thinking of his promise when he was a soldier, Jin Lizhen decided to see the tomb of these unknown martyrs. The next day, under the persuasion of Jin Lizhen, he carried iron crickets with his father, to the tomb of the martyrs, removing weeds, cultivating land, and planting flowers and trees, and then built a house next to the martyr's tomb.

"At first it was my father helped me guard me. Later, when I returned to the hometown, I picked it up." In April 1958, after returning from the army's re -element, Jin Lizhen moved his family from the county to Yingshan Village to settle down. Martyr's Tomb.

For decades, Jin Lizhen has been in front of the tomb and watched the local county government renamed the Yingshan Martyrs Cemetery. Nowadays, the "relay stick" of the tomb of the ring of the ring is gradually handed over to the Longji Town where the cemetery is located from Jin Lizhen.

"In the past years, such as Qingming and 'Bayi', the old man attached particular importance." Zhang Ji Town's retired soldiers' service station staff introduced Zhang to the time when they were often put on military uniforms and went to the cemetery to sweep the grave to sweep the grave to sweep the grave. Worshiping tourists and groups tell the previous story. Recently, Jin Lizhen and his wife were poor and were treated in the hospital in the county, so they could not take care of the martyrs' tombs, and repeatedly told them to be responsible for the daily management of the cemetery.

"Now we take care of the martyrs' cemetery together and take care of the reception and explanation. The town government has also hired full -time personnel to be responsible for duty and environmental hygiene inside and outside the hospital." The staff of the station is a retired soldier, so I am very concerned about the elderly and will definitely take this glorious "relay stick".
