Return to 83: Start by changing your surname

Chapter 142

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green hills, so why return them wrapped in horse leather!
For the brave soldiers fighting on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield for the benefit of the motherland is undoubtedly the highest interest.But today is not the ancient times. In order to commend and commemorate these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, the country has also established corresponding martyrs’ cemeteries for burial.

Those who are eligible to be hidden in the cemetery are all martyrs or those who have heroically sacrificed their lives for the interests of the country.It is said that the dead have passed away, but for those comrades who survived fighting side by side, seeing these resolute tombstones brings mixed feelings in their hearts.

They only stayed in the capital of Caiyun for one night. The next day, Tang Jingyun, the landowner and guide, made a special trip to ask for leave to accompany Mu Shanhe and his party.Knowing that Mu Shanhe came to Caiyun to invest and start a business, Caiyun naturally attached great importance to and welcomed him.

The most important thing is that if Caiyun's matsutake industry can really earn foreign exchange through exports, it will undoubtedly be a political achievement for Caiyun.Asking Tang Jingyun to accompany him on the inspection can be regarded as performing official duties.Many people are rushing to do this kind of job!

But the people in Caiyun also knew that Mu Shanhe was accompanied by Xu Siwen, a young master from Kyoto with a greater background.If anyone else wants to take this job as a guide, it depends on Xu Siwen's approval.

After learning that Mu Shanhe and his party planned to go to Wenzhou Cemetery to pay homage to the martyrs buried there, they also specially assigned another guide to accompany them.Unlike Tang Jingyun, this guide was very familiar with the cemetery.

When it comes to the construction and management of the cemetery, it is basically led by the guide's department.Although Mu Shanhe did not disclose it, he planned to donate a sum of money free of charge.But since the superiors were giving him face, he would naturally not refuse.

After arriving in Wenzhou, the guide contacted the local area to arrange a vehicle. Mu Shanhe and his party went straight to the restored martyrs cemetery without taking a rest.When the group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, Sun Xuan and others who got off the bus seemed a little hesitant.

I know that Sun Xuan and others are not afraid, but more of a cowardice of being close to home.Mu Shanhe, who had been a soldier in his previous life and had also experienced the sacrifice of his comrades, naturally knew that Sun Xuan, Wang Jianguo and others must have complicated feelings in their hearts at this moment.

Stepping forward and patting Sun Xuan and Wang Jianguo on the shoulders, Mu Shanhe said calmly: "Xuanzi and Jianguo are all here, why do you hesitate? I believe that the old comrades in the cemetery will be very happy when they see you. Happy and gratified.”

Xu Siwen, who accompanied him, had never been a soldier, so he could not understand this kind of comradeship.Sun Xuan, who was comforted, immediately said: "Well, thank you. I originally wanted to come, but I never had the chance before!"

As Sun Xuan spoke, his voice became a little hoarse, and his mood even became a little lost.Because he knew that in the cemetery above, there were buried several comrades who fought alongside him in the past but died heroically in the end.

Under the guidance of the local guide, Mu Shanhe and Xu Siwen deliberately asked Sun Xuan to walk in front of the group, but they followed behind.Looking at the neatly erected tombstones, Mu Shanhe and his party also had very solemn expressions.

Especially for Mu Shanhe who was in it, he also served here in his previous life.There is even a small martyrs cemetery next to the company where he served. There are also martyrs who died in the self-defense counterattack, as well as other martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, the company leaders would take them to pay homage and clean the cemetery.In fact, there are corresponding memorial services for these large martyrs' cemeteries established every year.Some of these memorial ceremonies are organized, while others are spontaneous.

Standing in front of one of the tombstones, Sun Xuan, who was already in a low mood, couldn't hold back his tears for a moment. While tears kept pouring out of his eyes, he did not cry out.This kind of suppressed sadness makes people feel even more sad after watching it.

On the contrary, Wang Jianguo stood nearby and whispered: "The owner of this tombstone is Xuanzi's platoon leader. Back then, their platoon was responsible for the assault mission, and their platoon leader died on the spot. And Xuanzi, in that assault attack battle, He almost died.

There were nearly 50 people in the entire assault platoon, and in the end only less than one squad survived.I heard from Xuanzi that during the assault, he was almost killed by a grenade thrown by the enemy. It was their platoon leader who quickly threw him to the ground.In the end, Xuanzi managed to survive, but the platoon leader was seriously injured and died before subsequent rescue.Because of this incident, Xuanzi has always been worried about it.But after he retired, he would send money to the platoon leader's family every year to support him. "

On battlefields like this, there are many examples of people who saved their comrades but died in the end.But for those soldiers who were rescued and survived in the end, how could they forget this kind of life-saving grace?

"Jianguo, are there any comrades in this cemetery?"

"Yes! Our regiment was also fighting here at that time, and it belonged to the same combat order as Xuanzi's regiment. I was able to survive back then, thanks to my old squad leader who risked his life to save me. It's a pity that I walked off the battlefield alive, but the squad leader and the others didn't. No."

"Is your monitor also buried here?"

"No, the comrades of our regiment are buried in another martyrs cemetery. But there are many names of martyrs here, as well as the units they served in. In fact, I have an impression of them. On the battlefield, they are actually my comrades. .”

Knowing that at this time, it was better for Sun Xuan and another bodyguard to wait quietly for the memorial ceremony, Mu Shanhe also motioned for everyone to come to the side.Taking the opportunity, Mu Shanhe also asked the local guide about some information about the cemetery.

After listening, Mu Shanhe immediately said: "Director Yang, there should be many local veterans who participated in the battle and finally retired due to injuries, right? Is their placement difficult?"

Director Yang who was questioned was the person in charge of the cemetery in Caiyun.Faced with Mu Shanhe's inquiry, Director Yang also nodded and said: "Indeed! But we try our best to arrange the work within their capabilities. This is our responsibility and obligation."

"Yes! We can't let heroes bleed and shed tears. The cemetery here in Wenzhou should be able to arrange a lot of people, right?"

"We have made some arrangements! But the work of taking care of the cemetery is not too heavy. But if there are too many people to accommodate, I'm afraid there will be difficulties."

"Old Tang, if I donate a sum of money specifically for the maintenance and construction of the cemetery and the placement of disabled veterans, is this allowed by policy? If you can guarantee that the funds will be used exclusively, I will donate a sum of money every year.

As Director Yang said, we cannot let the heroes bleed and shed tears.Besides, in my opinion, if we can enjoy the peace and tranquility now, why aren't these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country carrying the burden for us? "

Why are there so many peaceful years? It’s just that someone is carrying the burden for you.This is also a saying that has been circulated on the Internet in later generations, but in Mu Shanhe's view, this statement is very reasonable.And the cemetery in front of us is the best proof.

Regarding this kind of free donation, although it is limited to special funds, Tang Jingyun thinks that there should not be a big problem.Especially when he learned that the initial donation amounted to 100 million, and Xu Siwen also donated 50, which was 150 million.

Who would refuse such a sum of money for units currently facing financial constraints?Furthermore, Mushanhe is a free donation without any strings attached.He really couldn't think of a reason to refuse such a kind donation!
