Our warrior Zhou Kunxun unfortunately died in the process of disaster relief, and his son wanted to inherit his father's legacy and apply for the National University of Defense Technology, and received warm encouragement and shouts from many parties.
August of this year was a challenging month for Jilin and other places, with disasters sweeping like a tidal wave and the city in shambles. However, it is in such an environment that our rescuers have risked their lives to stay on the front line of disaster relief and fight to protect people's lives and property.
The martyr Zhou Kunxun died heroically in the flood, and his sacrifice was not unexpected to his eldest brother. Because the Zhou family has always followed the family motto, emphasizing walking in front and attaching importance to righteousness.
Zhou Kunxun's son also inherited his father's spirit and worked hard to apply for the National University of Defense Technology, hoping to contribute to the country and the people. The school gave him a warm reply, and netizens also cheered for him.
In Chengshan County, Henan Province, the profound revolutionary history makes people feel the revolutionary spirit and heroic deeds here.
In this hot land, countless anti-Japanese heroes and revolutionary heroes were born and grew up here, casting countless revolutionary souls. Zhou Kunxun's grandfather was one of the old revolutionaries, who witnessed China's poverty and suffering, and also witnessed the founding of New China and the dawn of victory.
Although New China has been founded, the spirit of revolution can never be forgotten. Zhou Kunxun often shared the story of the revolution with his descendants, educating them to remember history and inherit the revolutionary spirit.
Under his education, Zhou Kunxun's family had a sincere heart, and his uncle kept this spirit in his heart, actively participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and went to the front line to protect his family and defend the country.
After Zhou Kunxun's uncle returned heroically on the battlefield, he devoted himself to the cause of disaster relief, however, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the uncle died in the disaster relief. The uncle's sacrifice plunged the family into endless grief, but they knew that the uncle was a role model for their family, and he sacrificed his life for the country and lived up to the trust of the country.
Under the influence of this family style, Zhou Kunxun has been determined to become an upright person who hopes to contribute to the country since he was a child. By 1994, Zhou Kunxun was 17 years old, and he was at the age of joining the army, so he decided to join the army directly to realize his greater value.
Since Zhou Kunxun joined the army, three generations of the Zhou family have joined the army, inheriting the selfless dedication and revolutionary spirit of his grandfather and uncle. During Zhou Kunxun's service career, he traveled to many places, from Henan to Shandong, from Zhejiang to Jilin, everywhere, the only thing that remained unchanged was his loyalty and spirit.
He once wrote: "Fulfilling one's responsibilities for the party is a lifelong cause. These 10 short words are full of his enthusiasm. With his steadfastness and loyalty to the party, Zhou Kunxun rose from an ordinary soldier to a political commissar.
Zhou Kunxun was a well-respected soldier, and his comrades-in-arms recalled that despite his important position, he was always approachable, full of warmth and love. His voice was always so soft, always thinking about the soldiers.
Whether it is performing tasks or studying, he always gives his all, and he always moves forward bravely for the sake of the country and the people. Zhou Kunxun is a model for soldiers and party members in everyone's hearts.
In August 2023, when the typhoon was raging and flooding, Zhou Kunxun was busy day and night, and he worked hard to prepare for flood control.
In the face of the relentless natural disaster, two martyrs and three generations of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country stepped forward. At 10 a.m. on August 3, the flood situation near the Lalin River was critical, and a series of problems followed.
In the Jinma section of the river, a 30-metre burst of the embankment trapped the people in the floodwaters, and if the water level continues to rise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Under such critical circumstances, Zhou Kunxun and Pan Weihui, minister of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, quickly threw themselves into the flood control work.
Each of them led a team of men to resolutely hold the embankment. Zhou Kunxun repeatedly stressed in the flood fight that the task must be completed, but at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to its own safety. He cared deeply about his soldiers, but often put his own life and death on the line.
Through joint efforts, they succeeded in placing flood control materials in place and stabilizing the situation.
Although the embankment has been blocked, the water level is still rising, and the safe evacuation of people is still imminent. Floods have destroyed traffic, and roads are in dire need of manpower. Zhou Kunxun once again devoted himself to road repair, and worked together with everyone to successfully transfer more than 2,000 people affected by the disaster.
Just when he wanted to replenish his strength, news came that the flood situation in Jinma Town was critical. Zhou Kunxun didn't hesitate to get up and rush to Jinma Town, because he knew that the people needed him.
In the process of arranging the task, Zhou Kunxun encountered a sudden flash flood, and the huge torrent instantly swept his command vehicle into it. In the face of the power of nature, Zhou Kunxun remained calm and decisively instructed the driver Ding Wenlong to give up the command car first and give priority to avoiding danger.
After ensuring Ding Wenlong's safe escape, Zhou Kunxun began to try to rescue himself.
Ding Wenlong recalled that with the help of Zhou Kunxun, he successfully escaped from the car. However, the flood rolled in, and the two were instantly swept into it, physically exhausted, and a sense of despair enveloped them.
At this moment, Ding Wenlong heard Zhou Kunxun's firm voice: "Leave me alone, take off your shirt, lighten your burden, and swim!" As soon as the words fell, only the roaring sound of water remained, and the two were torn apart by the flood.
On the night of the raging flood, Zhou Kunxun left the hope of life to others, but he silently chose to sacrifice. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Ding Wenlong was rescued, but Zhou Kunxun disappeared into the darkness.
After unremitting efforts, at 7 o'clock on August 6, 2His heroic death was found 5 kilometers away. Zhou Kunxun's notes wrote, "The colonel carries it on his shoulders, and the responsibility is as great as a mountain", which is the best interpretation of this sentence.
He told us with his actions that the duty of a soldier is not only to defend the homeland and the country, but also to do his best for the safety and happiness of the people.
Zhou Kunxun's heroic sacrifice deeply saddened his eldest brother. The eldest brother said that he was not surprised by his brother's heroic performance before his death, because he always knew that his younger brother had an extremely strong faith and indomitable spirit.
The spirit of Zhou Kunxun will always live in people's hearts.
Brother Zhou Kunxun recalled the past, when he was a child, he was determined to join the army, give everything he had for the country, and become an excellent soldier. Therefore, the eldest brother was not surprised when he was still thinking about others before his death, because he was such a person.
Zhou Kunxun's hometown is in Henan, and now it's time to return to his roots, and the leaves have fallen back to their roots. After he returned to his hometown, an old woman with white hair pounced on his ashes, constantly calling for her child.
Zhou Kunxun's body farewell ceremony was held in Zhumadian, Henan Province, and his wife Wang Jia wept several times during the ceremony. Although she understands her husband's duties as a soldier, the pain of losing him is still overwhelming for her.
Zhou Kunxun's son, Zhou Yihang, is proud of his father, and he proudly says that his father will always be his role model. Zhou Yihang also grew up in a military family, and he also cherished the same ideals as his father in his heart.
Zhou Yihang was at a critical time in his life, and he decided to apply for the National University of Defense Technology to commemorate his deceased father. He will take his father's spirit as a driving force, put on a military uniform, be loyal to the party, and dedicate himself to the country and the people.
The National University of Defense Technology appreciated his decision and promised to wait for his arrival at the school. The incident sparked heated discussions online, with many people expressing concern about whether Mr. Zhou should be recruited.
Some netizens firmly believe that Zhou Yihang's potential is endless, and it is entirely possible to be admitted to the ideal university through his own efforts. However, more voices called for the special recruitment of Zhou Yihang, who believed that the Zhou family's loyalty to the party and the people should not only focus on cultural achievements, but also be an irreplaceable quality.
There are also people who think that the children of martyrs should be given preferential treatment, and since the children of martyrs have a desire to recruit them, why not give it a try? It is worth mentioning that although Zhou Kunxun has a high military rank, his hometown is very simple and dilapidated, with family portraits on mud walls, messy wires and old houses, all revealing the rigorous and noble family style of the Zhou family.
In this flood relief, Luo Xudong, deputy mayor of Shulan City, and other front-line soldiers unfortunately died. Among the people affected by the disaster, there is a saying that is widely circulated: "The people's soldiers are really extraordinary, and they really stand up at the critical moment." ”
This sentence fully embodies the spirit of these heroes who face great dangers, go against the current, and forge ahead. They are the heroes we will always remember, the examples we should sing and learn from, and their spirit is our most precious asset.
Heroes are our guiding lights, the driving force for us to move forward, and the models for us to learn.
The red backs are our national heroes, they make us stand up, hold up the sky for us, and shelter us from the wind and rain. Their figures, standing firmly by our side, inspire us to strive to grow and be a part of them.
