On February 23, 1947, Yang Zirong led the soldiers to pursue the bandit Zheng Sanpao and others in the area of Lishugou. Not long ago, Yang Zirong successfully captured the bandit mountain carving with his wisdom, leaving the legendary story of "outwitting Weihu Mountain". Sixteen days later, however, death was looming. When fighting with the enemy, due to the extremely low temperature, Yang Zirong's pistol actually failed. While stubbornly fighting the enemy, a bullet hit Yang Zirong in the chest. The hero who outwitted Weihu Mountain was sacrificed at the hands of the enemy, and the troops had to prepare a funeral for him before they even had time to hold a celebration meeting for him. The hearts of all were very heavy.
When preparing for Yang Zirong's funeral, the troops looked for his family everywhere, because Ye Luo returned to his roots, and this matter must be known to the Yang family. In Yang Zirong's hometown, the development of events is even more uncontrollable. It turned out that Yang Zirong's original name was Yang Zonggui and he was a native of Muping County, Shandong. In his early years, in order to earn a living, he worked as a boatman and a miner, and experienced the hardships of life. In 1945, Yang Zirong joined the Eighth Route Army and participated in the battle to liberate Muping. After the battle, Yang Zirong left his hometown with his troops. Yang Zirong's mother and wife are reluctant to let him leave, but the country is in turmoil, how can he only take care of his personal family?
Yang Zirong left his mother in tears, but he never thought that his whereabouts had become an unsolvable mystery. It wasn't until a few years later that several villagers who came back from other places suddenly told everyone that they saw Yang Zonggui leaving the village wearing the clothes of bandits!This news shocked everyone. Yang Zonggui actually became a bandit?Naturally, the mother did not believe it, but the testimonies of several villagers were difficult to erase. Yang Zonggui himself could not come back to clarify. Actually, this is a big misunderstanding. Yang Zirong was ordered to suppress bandits, naturally experienced many changes, but now no one can excuse him, under the firm belief of the Yang family, although they believe that he will not be a bandit, but they cannot escape the cold eyes of the villagers.
The Yang family suddenly became the target of public criticism. Yang Zirong's wife fell ill after being stimulated and died soon after. Yang's mother, Song Xuezhi, was in pain in her heart, and she was determined to ask for an explanation for her son. However, she didn't know that the hero who outwitted Weihu Mountain in those legendary stories was her son Zonggui. In her old age, she could only ask around and redress her son's grievances. Yang Zonggui was once suspected of being a bandit, but after the local ** investigation, no evidence was found, but a conclusive record of joining the army was found, which proved his innocence. However, despite receiving the treatment of military dependents, the Yang family still did not know the whereabouts of Yang Zonggui.
Before her death, her mother entrusted her eldest son Yang Zongfu to find his younger brother, but as an ordinary farmer, how could he find Yang Zonggui?It wasn't until 1969 that ** issued instructions to find Yang Zonggui's family. After several months of investigation, the investigation team finally locked the search scope in the Jiaodong area, and through the investigation of tens of thousands of missing soldiers' files, determined to find relevant clues. With **, the investigation becomes a lot easier. After research, the investigation team decided to immediately go to Yang Zonggui's hometown and ask his family to confirm whether Yang Zirong and Yang Zonggui were the same person.
It was not until 1974 that the investigation team, accompanied by personnel from the Muping Civil Affairs Bureau, found Yang Zongfu, who was engaged in farming. When Yang Zongfu saw that the leaders came to find him, he was very surprised, but several leaders only asked him to confirm. When Yang Zongfu saw the three **s in the envelope, he jumped up excitedly: "This is our family's noble!."Thinking of his younger brother, who had been separated for many years, Yang Zongfu was both sad and happy at that moment.
Seeing Yang Zongfu's excitement, the members of the investigation team understood that they had found the right person, so they held Yang Zongfu's hand and said, "Comrade, do you know that your younger brother is the famous Yang Zirong!."Yang Zongfu looked dazed, he didn't know who this so-called Yang Zirong was, maybe it only existed in the drama. The investigation team told him: "That's right, it's that combat hero, Yang Zirong, the protagonist of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"!."This sentence made Yang Zongfu burst into tears, he held his brother's ** tightly, and his hands trembled.
Suddenly, he realized something, knelt down in the room, kowtowed repeatedly, and said sadly, "Mother!".Zonggui has news!Our Zonggui has become a hero and has lived up to you!The people present watched this scene and couldn't help but cry with Yang Zongfu. Over the years, the Yang family has endured many grievances, and finally ushered in the day when the truth will be revealed. Yang Zongfu didn't make any other requests, just asked everyone**, and then sent ** to his mother's grave. The old man's greatest concern before his death was the whereabouts of his son, and now that his son finally has news, this matter must be told to the old man in heaven.
Although the hero has passed away, his hometown is still waiting for his return, and may the heroes of heaven hear the thoughts of their loved ones. ”
