The elderly with dementia said the numbers, and the children reported ** to check their identity
Song Liangyou, a ninety-year-old man with dementia, has forgotten everyone around him, not even who he is, but he can clearly remember and repeat a string of numbers.
This string of numbers has become his only connection with the world. Although my memory is declining year by year, this perseverance and tenacity are moving. He is Song Liangyou from Huaiyuan County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, and his story makes us deeply feel the tenacity of life and the power of love.
A string of numbers that have been silent for 60 years, what do they represent, and why can an old man be so obsessed? This is a problem that plagues the children of the elderly. It wasn't until 2018 that a veterans' affairs investigator named Warren Ma came to the old man's home and he uncovered the secret of the string of numbers.
It turned out that their father was not an ordinary man, but a real hero.
Song Liangyou: The Story Behind the Miner Song Liangyou is an ordinary miner, and his life is like his daily work in the mine, plain and orderly. His sons and daughters used to think he was just an ordinary worker, until they heard his story.
Song Liangyou is a very good miner in the mine, he treats the people around him very warmly, and he is very quick in his work, and he is very popular with workers and leaders.
His apprentice, Guo Guoying, recalled that when they were still working in the mine, there was a very serious accident. When they were working in the mine that day, coal suddenly fell, and it was Master Song who discovered the anomaly first, and judged that it was a mine collapse caused by a gas leak.
Master Song quickly organized the evacuation of the workers in the mine, but the road to retreat had already collapsed. Master Song organized them to get on the chain plate machine, and finally everyone climbed out by relying on the power of the chain plate machine.
This is Song Liangyou, an ordinary and heroic miner. His story tells us that behind every ordinary person, there is their own story, they may not be known, but they are a part of our lives, and their existence makes our lives more colorful.
Recalling that frightening accident, if it weren't for Master Song, we might not have survived. When he was working in the mines, he always rushed to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and when he was too tired, he sang and sang in the coal pile'Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River ......'。
His daughter, while cleaning up after her father's serious illness, found the secret box he was hiding, filled with his medals of honor and medals, which she handed to Warren Ma.
Ma Hualun, who recognized the meaning of these medals at a glance, was surprised to find that this old man was once a first-class military soldier who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea! "
Song Liangyou, an ordinary person born in rural Anhui, lived in an era of war. He witnessed the cruelty of the Japanese invaders and fled with his family from the invaders, and those images were deeply imprinted in his mind.
He grew up hungry in a turbulent country until 1946, at the age of 18, he officially enlisted in the army and became a member of the 241st Regiment of the 81st Division of the 27th Army.
Although Japan had already announced its surrender, the outbreak of the civil war made the good life of the common people come to naught, and Song Liangyou participated in many battles during the civil war, and his outstanding performance led to his rapid promotion to squad leader.
In 1950, when the Korean Peninsula was in flames, the Chinese people expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of the US military's aggression, but the US military not only turned a deaf ear, but also intensified its efforts, even violating China's territory and bombing Dandong.
In the face of danger, North Korea** asked China to send troops for assistance. In order to defend its homeland, China made the decision of "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, protecting the homeland and defending the country", and quickly organized a volunteer army to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and the 241st Regiment of the 81st Division of the 27th Army, where Song Liangyou belonged, was also among them.
Ignorant of the weather in North Korea, Song Liangyou and his comrades-in-arms went there wearing only single clothes, but it was the coldest time in North Korea, and the temperature plummeted to more than minus 40 degrees.
The bad weather and unfamiliar geographical environment made the volunteers who had just arrived in North Korea extremely uncomfortable, and many volunteers suffered severe frostbite as soon as they entered North Korea.
Especially at night, when the temperature was even cooler than during the day, many fighters were frozen to death as a result. They don't even dare to shed tears, because tears will also be frozen. What's worse is that the domestic material escort plane destined for North Korea was blown up by the US military, resulting in the interruption of the material chain of the volunteers in North Korea.
In the bitter cold of minus dozens of degrees Celsius without any supplies, Song Liangyou and other volunteers could only endure hunger and cold. China's equipment lags behind the United States, and in the face of the advanced US military, they are faced with a negligible victory rate and a harsh natural environment.
Despite the lack of follow-up supplies and friendly support, they still had a firm belief in defending their homeland and did not give up hope. In the rain of bullets, Song Liangyou and others fought bravely.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Song Liangyou's unit fought bravely in the second and fifth battles, and also participated in many vicious battles such as the Battle of Changjin Lake.
In the Battle of Xinxingli, his team suffered heavy losses, and his comrades-in-arms fell one after another, but Song Liangyou held his ground, never gave up, and was determined not to let the sacrifices of his comrades go in vain.
After a fierce battle, both the company commander and the commander died heroically, leaving only a few comrades. During the final charge against the enemy, a bomb was beside him**, blowing him out.
When he woke up, he found himself blown up to a tree, with a large hole in his stomach and half of his intestines coming out. However, Song Liangyou did not give up, he persevered, showing incomparable courage and tenacity.
Without the help of medical soldiers and comrades-in-arms, Song Liangyou endured the pain, stuffed the intestines back into his stomach, stopped the bleeding with snow, tied the wound with a belt, and climbed the grass and vines on the cliff to climb back to the ground troops.
His comrades-in-arms immediately sent him to the medical office**, where he was in a coma for three days and three nights due to excessive blood loss, with more than 50 stitches in his abdomen and deep scars. The doctor praised him for being able to persist in crawling back into the army under such a serious situation, which was remarkable.
In the First Battle of Xinxingli, our army defeated the elite squad of the US army, which became a turning point in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After the war, Song Liangyou was awarded a first-class military merit and was known as a combat hero.
Due to his injuries, Song Liangyou recuperated for a while before rejoining the battle, just in time for the Fifth Battle to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Compared with the previous campaign, the gap between the strength of the enemy and us in this campaign is huge, the enemy has invested a large number of soldiers and soldiers, and our volunteers are still facing the problems of food shortage, serious soldiers and backwardness.
In this battle, Song Liangyou's 241st Regiment undertook the task of breaking through, and they needed to do their best to open up a path for the main force of the Volunteer Army. And the group led by Song Liangyou is the "sharp knife" in this breakthrough team.
In the early days of the battle, Song Liangyou's resolute and courageous attitude inspired the entire "Sharp Knife" group, and they fought bloodily in the rain of bullets. Song Liangyou's courage to fight also injected endless courage into the entire team.
It can be said that in the initial breakthrough mission, Song Liangyou played a key role in promoting.
In this desperate battle, the 241st Regiment was almost completely annihilated, and only Song Liangyou and his two comrades-in-arms broke out of the encirclement and finally successfully completed the task. And Song Liangyou also performed well in the battle because of this, and was once again awarded a first-class meritorious service.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the organization provided preferential treatment, but he chose to return to his hometown. He told the organization that he often thought of his comrades-in-arms who fought side by side and sacrificed their lives for his country, and that he could not accept these awards.
So, he applied to the organization to go to the Huaibei mining area to work as a miner, which was also the work assignment of that era. The organization acceded to his request, and he returned home to collect the medal of merit he had received, saying nothing about his experience.
No one around him knew of his former glory.
Fourth, the summary is a touching story of an elderly veteran suffering from Alzheimer's disease, the old man was attracted by a mangosteen that fell on the floor, he flew up, shouting "run", this sense of mission made the old man subconsciously make a protective action.
The experience of the old man Song Liangyou is also touching, he experienced a cruel war, won many military exploits, and finally chose to remain incognito and bury that memory deep in his heart.
Even if he forgot everything, he didn't forget his unit number and that memory. These revolutionary ancestors used their own flesh and blood to defend our homeland and establish the beautiful life we have now.
These heroes deserve to be remembered by all of us, and their golden souls deserve to be looked up to by all of us.
