During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Chinese Volunteers fought side by side with the Korean people and forged a deep friendship, and many touching stories also happened.
For example, the combat hero Huang Wanfeng and his "North Korean daughter" Jiao Jingzi are a very typical example.
On November 27, 1950, 23-year-old Huang Wanfeng served as a company commander in the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 243rd Regiment of the 81st Division of the 27th Army of the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army, and was ordered to participate in the Battle of Changjin Lake.
On the same day, the 1st and 7th Marine Divisions of the U.S. Army were divided and attacked by our troops, and the enemy attempted to rendezvous at Xiajiayu-ri and then break through to Xingnam Port. The 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army ordered all units to pursue and intercept the enemy, trying to completely annihilate the enemy.
When Huang Wanfeng arrived at the battlefield, the enemy army was retreating in a hurry, and he was about to lead the team to pursue, when the Korean liaison officer suddenly ran over with a little girl in his arms.
The girl was found in the ruins by the liaison officer, named Jiao Shizuko, and her parents were likely to have been consumed by the war, leaving her alone to survive.
Huang Wanfeng looked at this four or five-year-old child, her eyes were already swollen from crying, and she looked pitiful, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.
What to do?Regardless of this girl, do you pursue the enemy with all your might?Huang Wanfeng hesitated.
After thinking for a few seconds, Huang Wanfeng made a decision: "Find a flat basket, I'll carry her away!."”
The flat pole and basket were soon found, and Huang Wanfeng put the girl in and carried her to march together.
At first, Jiao Jingzi felt very uneasy, and with the language barrier, she cried again on the road. Huang Wanfeng was not married at the time and had no experience in coaxing children, so he could only try his best to coax her in his own way.
For a few days, Jiao Jingzi was taken care of by Huang Wanfeng, and gradually became dependent on Huang Wanfeng, as long as Huang Wanfeng was by her side, she was very quiet and stopped crying.
Huang Wanfeng saw that Jiao Jingzi's clothes were very thin, and he was worried that she would be cold, so he asked the correspondent to change his quilt into a set of cotton clothes and cotton pants for Jiao Jingzi to wear.
When fighting with the U.S. army, Huang Wanfeng's company captured a lot of canned food and biscuits from the U.S. army, and he specially left a little for Jiao Jingzi to eat.
After getting along for a while, Huang Wanfeng has regarded Jiao Jingzi as his daughter, and Jiao Jingzi also has feelings for Huang Wanfeng, the two are not father and daughter, they are better than father and daughter.
The pursuit operation lasted for nearly a month, Huang Wanfeng has been marching with Jiao Jingzi, and a company commander has been carrying his "daughter" to pursue the enemy with a flat basket
In 1953, the Korean War ended, and Huang Wanfeng was awarded the title of second-class hero for his outstanding performance, and was awarded the title of second-class hero, and returned to China with honor.
However, at this happy time, Huang Wanfeng received a very sad news: the higher authorities ordered that no North Koreans should be brought back to China.
After more than two years of getting along, Huang Wanfeng has regarded Jiao Jingzi as his daughter, he originally planned to take his daughter back to China with him, but now he wants to separate from his daughter, which father can bear it!
He found the division leader and hoped to be accommodating, but the division leader told him in a serious tone: This is a death order issued by the top, and no one can disobey it!
Huang Wanfeng was very anxious, and even thought about taking his daughter with him in the way of "smuggling", but when he thought of his identity, if he was discovered, wouldn't it be a discredit to the volunteers?
On one side is a daughter, and on the other side is honor. Huang Wanfeng fell into a painful dilemma, he didn't frown once when he bled on the battlefield, but at this time he felt deeply powerless!
That day, Huang Wanfeng found two eggs and scrambled them for his daughter to eat. Jiao Jingzi is also very sensible, pushing the egg in front of him and letting him eat it first. Huang Wanfeng could no longer control his emotions, and tears flowed down his eyes.
When parting, Huang Wanfeng specially entrusted a North Korean female captain who knew the inside story to help him take care of Jiao Jingzi, looking at the picture of Jiao Jingzi sleeping in the arms of the female captain, Huang Wanfeng seemed to keep this picture firmly in mind, and finally, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to turn around and embark on the road back to China.
Huang Wanfeng thought that time would make people forget everything, but after returning to China, he still often thought of the North Korean daughter, and this longing not only did not fade with time, but became more and more intense.
Until 1982, Huang Wanfeng had been promoted to deputy commander of the 81st Division, and was invited to visit North Korea as a volunteer hero.
However, after nearly 30 years, how easy is it to find someone in the vast sea of people?
During this trip to North Korea, Huang Wanfeng did not inquire about his daughter's whereabouts, which became his eternal regret.
In 2000, the military documentary "Broken Knife" started filming, and the film crew went to interview Huang Wanfeng, talking about the past in North Korea, 73-year-old Huang Wanfeng thought of his daughter again, and tears flowed uncontrollably, saying:"I never regret going to the Korean battlefield, but I really regret not bringing my daughter back to China!”
Today, Huang Wanfeng is 95 years old, and I don't know if his wish can be realized.
