On May 31, 1979, Huang Huoqing, then the procurator general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, was preparing to travel in a military vehicle. However, just as he was about to get into the car, an old man suddenly appeared and crashed into the military vehicle.
Huang Huoqing hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation, but saw the old man grabbing his hand excitedly: "Chief!."I've seen you!”
One day, this old man from Jiangxi came to Beijing alone, and he had an urgent desire in his heart to meet Huang Huoqing, the chief procurator of the Supreme Procuratorate. However, when he arrived at the prosecutor's office, the doorman stopped him.
Please let me in, I'm a soldier of Chief Huang Huoqing, and I have something to look for him. The old man explained eagerly.
The doorman looked puzzled, frowned, and hesitated. At this time, suddenly a car drove out of the courtyard. The doorman took one look and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't see you today." You see, our Attorney General is on a business trip!”
Hearing the doorman's words, the old man did not hesitate, and he immediately rushed to the front of the car. This sudden action surprised the driver, who braked sharply and then shouted angrily, "Hey!".Don't you want to die?”
The old man didn't care about this, he shouted loudly to the driver: "Chief Huang Huoqing!."I am your soldier!I have something important to look for you!Could you please prove my identity for me!”
This old man's name is Xiao Chengjia, although he is just an ordinary farmer now, but he has an extraordinary history behind him.
He used to be a Red Army soldier on the Long March, but he was separated from his comrades during a mission and had to return to his hometown to work as a farmer.
Now, eager to prove his identity, he embarks on a journey to find the former chief, Huang Huoqing, who is now the chief prosecutor of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Prosecutor General Huang Huoqing was Xiao Chengjia's chief back then, and he had many soldiers under him. Decades passed, when Xiao Chengjia found Huang HuoqingHow to prove one's identity has become a difficult problem.
In 1916, Xiao Chengjia was born in a well-off family in Ji'an, Jiangxi. His parents attached great importance to their children's education, and even in the war-torn years, they insisted on hiring a private school for Xiao Chengjia and allowing him to receive a few years of basic education.
Chengjia, you have to study hard to be successful in the future. His father used to say this to him.
Xiao Chengjia always nodded seriously after hearing this, he knew that he had to cherish this opportunity to learn Xi.
In the past few years, Xiao Chengjia not only learned to read and write, but also learned some principles of life. In the village, he was known as "Little Xiucai", and everyone praised him for his intelligence.
At the age of 16, Xiao Chengjia joined the Fifth Army of the Red Army. In the corps, because of his literacy, he was appointed as the leader of the propaganda team of the Political Department of the Red Fifth Army Corps.
Cheng Jia, what do you think?Chief Huang Huoqing asked him.
Chief, I will do my best to mobilize the masses and contribute my strength to the revolutionary cause. Xiao Chengjia replied firmly.
During the work of the propaganda team, Xiao Chengjia led the team members to put up slogans to propagate the revolutionary truth to the masses. His language is concise and easy to understand, making it easier for the masses to understand and accept.
We must unite and work together to overthrow feudal society!Xiao Chengjia appealed loudly.
The masses were infected by his passion and joined the ranks of the revolution.
Later, Xiao Chengjia was transferred to the head of the propaganda detachment of the Political Department of the 9th Army Corps.
After serving as the captain of the propaganda team, Xiao Chengjia devoted himself to the performance of the opera program under the leadership of Huang Huoqing. Among them, a drama called "Flower Organ" has won the love of the audience.
The play was originally based on the name of a submachine gun, but under their interpretation, it was given a new lease of life. Xiao Chengjia often plays the role of "No. 3" in the play, and every time he performs, the audience is shocked, and Huang Huoqing often praises his acting skills.
Cheng Jia, your performance is really three!Huang Huoqing exclaimed.
Xiao Chengjia modestly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, I will continue to work hard." ”
Although Xiao Chengjia performed easily on stage, he was not satisfied with this. Since joining the Red Army, he has been actively engaged in military training and striving to improve his combat capabilities. He understood that as a revolutionary soldier, it was not enough to have literary and artistic talent.
In February 1935, after the Red Army successfully crossed Chishui for the second time, the Ninth Army Corps was given the task of delaying the enemy and was stationed in the Tongzi area. At this time, Mr. Zhu also came to the Ninth Army Corps in person to discuss the military situation with the corps commanders Luo Binghui, Huang Huoqing and others.
Mr. Zhu said with a serious expression: "The enemy's reinforcements are planning to pursue through a trail in Louguan Mountain, hoping that the Red Ninth Army can send a platoon of troops to the trail to block it. ”
Huang Huoqing and Luo Binghui looked at each other, they knew the importance of this task. At present, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is not easy to find a cadre with strong psychological quality who can be accepted by everyone.
Just when they were in a dilemma, Xiao Chengjia bravely stood up: "Report to the chief, I am willing to lead a platoon to carry out this task!."”
Huang Huoqing looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was full of trust and appreciation. He knew that although Xiao Chengjia had no experience in commanding battles, his courage, wisdom, and sense of responsibility were unparalleled.
So Huang Huoqing nodded and said firmly, "Okay!."This task is up to you. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must be determined to complete the task!”
Xiao Chengjia straightened up, and replied firmly after a standard military salute: "Yes!."Guaranteed to get the job done!”
Subsequently, Xiao Chengjia and his team moved quickly and headed to the ambush point. In the thorns on the side of the road, they lay on their stomachs for more than ten hours, and their bodies were numb from the cold. However, Xiao Chengjia and the fighters still held on.
By noon, the enemy appeared in Xiao Chengjia's sight. He immediately said to the fighters around him, "Are you ready?"Our targets are those enemies!”
When the enemy got closer and closer, and came to a distance of 30 meters, Xiao Chengjia shouted: "Soldiers!".Get ready for battle!”
The fighters replied in unison: "Yes!."Get ready for battle!”
After speaking, Xiao Chengjia took the lead in shooting. In an instant, the enemy of the two platoons fled in a panic.
Soon after, the Western Route Army was formally formed, and Xiao Chengjia was placed in the Political Department, responsible for propaganda work.
During this period, he was unfortunately captured by Ma Jiajun in the process of searching for the large army. Fortunately, Ma Jiajun saw that he was like a child and couldn't grasp any military secrets, so he released him.
After being released from prison, Xiao Chengjia lost contact with the organization, and the organization thought that he had sacrificed. If he hadn't met his old comrades-in-arms, maybe he would have been living an ordinary life.
On that day, his old comrades-in-arms told him: "Veterans can receive the support issued by the state." ”
After that, Xiao Chengjia took his identity materials and came to the local ** department to receive the retirement allowance with heavy steps. He walked into the office expectantly, but suffered a blow to the head.
Your documents are incomplete and there is no way to prove that you are a veteran. The staff told him with a blank face.
When Xiao Chengjia heard this, he immediately became anxious, and he hurriedly explained: "I am really a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and have participated in many battles. I have worked hard to collect these materials, so why can't I prove my identity?”
However, the staff didn't seem to listen to him, and just repeated indifferently: "The materials are incomplete and cannot be identified." ”
Xiao Chengjia's mood instantly fell to the bottom, and he felt that his efforts and dedication were denied. He has given so much for the country and the revolutionary cause, but now he cannot be recognized and respected as he deserves.
I have given so much for the country, how can you treat me like this?Xiao Chengjia asked angrily.
It's a rule, we just follow the procedure. The staff replied coldly.
Xiao Chengjia felt that his heart was deeply pierced, he felt that his contribution was erased, and no one remembered his contribution to the victory of the revolution.
I just want to be recognized and respected as I deserve, is that also wrong?Xiao Chengjia asked sadly.
However, the staff did not answer him, just looked at him indifferently.
Xiao Chengjia felt that his mood had been hit, and he decided to fight for his rights and interests, so that more people could realize the value and significance of veterans.
So, he decided to go to Beijing and regain his identity. On the train to Beijing, Xiao Chengjia was nervous, but he still told himself firmly: "I will definitely find my identity." ”
And so the opening scene happened. In Huang Huoqing's office, Xiao Chengjia tried hard to recall the intersection with Huang Huoqing, and he said a little nervously: "Chief Huang, do you remember me?"I'm the number three flower machine!”
Huang Huoqing looked at him with a surprised expression, and then looked at him carefully, as if trying to remember something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "It's you!".Red Imp!You are a soldier of the 9th Legion!”
When Xiao Chengjia heard this, he immediately burst into tears, he held Huang Huoqing's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Chief Huang, I finally found you!."You're so happy you remember me!”
Huang Huoqing also felt very pleased, he patted Xiao Chengjia's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Young man, we will never forget your efforts and sacrifices. You are the hero of the revolution and the pride of the people. ”
In order to confirm his identity, Huang Huoqing asked Xiao Chengjia to sing a red song that he taught him.
Huang Huoqing. Xiao Chengjia's mind suddenly reverberated with a melody, which was his long-lost "Du Niang Song". This is the song that Huang Huoqing personally taught him back then, and now it sounded again at the moment when the two reunited.
Huang Huoqing held Xiao Chengjia's hand tightly, his eyes moistened: "After so many years, I always thought that you had sacrificed." ”
Xiao Chengjia smiled slightly and told him about his experience over the years. He then expressed his desire to be reinstated as a soldier of the Red Army and to be reinstated in the party.
Huang Huoqing listened to Xiao Chengjia's narration and was full of emotion in his heart.
Little ghost, I will help you prove your identity, and your party membership will be restored. Huang Huoqing said firmly. He helped Xiao Chengjia write the testimonial, attaching his signature and seal.
However, to prove Xiao Chengjia's identity, the strength of one person is not enough. Huang Huoqing thought of Liu Hekong, who also served in the 9th Army Corps. He was once Xiao Chengjia's comrade-in-arms and would definitely be able to help prove his identity.
Huang Huoqing took Xiao Chengjia to find Liu Hekong. When he heard that this "red ghost" was a comrade-in-arms when he crossed the meadow, Liu Hekong immediately recalled that time.
He looked at Xiao Chengjia affectionately and said, "I remember you, you are a brave warrior. He also wrote a document for Xiao Chengjia to prove his identity.
Under the careful guidance and full support of the old leaders, Xiao Chengjia finally received the veteran's subsidy.
For Xiao Chengjia, the veteran's subsidy does not only mean money, but more importantly, it represents recognition and respect for his military career. This subsidy is a recognition of his hard work and selfless dedication in the past.
This experience made Xiao Chengjia even more convinced that no matter how the times change, the country and the people will never forget those veterans who have paid blood and sweat for the revolutionary cause.
