In the early morning of 1953, the leaders of the Zhengzhou Guest House suddenly saw the "Missing Person Notice" on "People**" and were surprised to find that the cleaner Lei Baosen was actually a first-class combat hero. This ordinary slipper tinker, who once showed bravery on the battlefield in Korea, swept the floor in a guest house in Zhengzhou in obscurity. This is his story, a poignant and eventful time.
Lei Baosen, formerly known as Li Baosen, was born in 1923 in a poor peasant family. He lost his father at the age of five, and after his mother died, he begged for a living. After being adopted, he changed his name to Lei Baosen, and worked hard to share the burden for his family, and even herded cattle for his family. Lei Baosen went out to make a living and became a shoemaker, but he was drawn into the ranks of the underground party.
In 1946, the spies discovered his identity, and Lei Baosen went to Wuhu to join the guerrillas. Later, he joined the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company of the 234th Regiment of the 78th Division of the 26th Army, and he made great achievements in the battles of crossing the river and Huaihai. In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Lei Baosen's unit supported North Korea through harsh winters and arduous roads, but they achieved a stunning victory at the 299 Heights.
On March 24, 1951, Lei Baosen led nine soldiers to perform well in blocking the US mechanized troops. They blew up 11 tanks and killed more than 100 enemy soldiers, but Lei Baosen was seriously wounded and jumped off a cliff to protect his comrades from retreating. Discovered by a woman, Lei Baosen finally returned to China to recuperate.
In his homeland, he became a guest house cleaner in obscurity. It was not until 1957 that the country searched for him and unveiled his heroic war history. **The marshal personally received him, **sighed: "You are the pride of the history of the Volunteer Army!."”
Lei Baosen won the honor of "First-Class Combat Hero" with special merit and became the "Anti-tank Hero Squad Leader". His life was legendary, but he always faced it with humility and did not show his merits.
Back in his hometown, Lei Baosen married a peasant girl and lived an ordinary life. His herohood became the pride of the family. The Lei family and his wife once chose a marriage for him, and they were pleased to see that their son had a happy family.
This anti-tank hero, who has been in his hometown for the rest of his life, silently interprets the determination of "seeing people alive and seeing corpses when dead" with practical actions. Lei Baosen's life is a chapter in the epic of Chinese heroes that cannot be ignored, and his story will always inspire future generations to pay silently for the glory of the country.
Note: This article is based on a true story and pays tribute to the great anti-tank hero Lei Baosen.
Lei Baosen's story is a true and deeply moving heroic biography. This ordinary cleaner was once a first-class combat hero, and his life carried the vicissitudes of modern Chinese history and heroic feats.
Lei Baosen's childhood can be described as full of hardship, the loss of his father and the death of his mother, he was forced to beg for a living. This hard life experience made him cherish and work hard even more as an adult, not only to fight for his own chance of survival, but also to share the burden of his family. His kindness and hard work not only won him adoption from his adoptive parents, but also cultivated his qualities of being considerate of others and sacrificing himself.
Lei Baosen's underground party career is a highlight of the story. In that turbulent era, he joined the underground party and contributed his strength to the cause of the country's liberation. This experience not only showed his courage and patriotic enthusiasm, but also allowed him to accept the influence of revolutionary ideas, which laid a solid ideological foundation for the later years of the Anti-Japanese War.
During the Korean War, Lei Baosen's heroic performance was even more awe-inspiring. In the blocking operation on the 299 heights, with his excellent command and brave operation, he blew up 11 tanks, killed more than 100 enemy soldiers, and finally jumped off the cliff to protect his comrades, which showed his unyielding heroism.
However, the most touching part is the obscure life after his return. He chose to work as a cleaner in a guest house and live an ordinary life. Lei Baosen's indifferent to fame and fortune and not seeking vanity are deeply admired. His life was not only a heroic cry during the war years, but also an ordinary dedication in peacetime.
The story of Lei Baosen is a shining pearl in the history of Chinese heroes. His rough childhood, the years of the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, his selfless and heroic battles, and the second half of his ordinary life are all vivid portrayals of how an ordinary person can give full play to his value and make outstanding contributions to the country and the people during the special period.
In today's society, we often seek fame and vanity, and the story of Lei Baosen reminds us that the real heroes are those who give silently and regardless of fame and fortune. His life is an example for each of us to ponder the heroic spirit of "seeing people in life and seeing corpses in death". I hope that Lei Baosen's story can be known by more people, so that his heroic spirit can be carried forward in our hearts.
