It was a gloomy winter day, and I, as a company commander, were organizing troops for winter training. Suddenly, the silence of the camp was broken by the ringing of the bell, it was my wife calling. She told me that her father, my father-in-law, suddenly fell ill. I was shocked and immediately asked for leave to go home.
The father-in-law was a serious old man, he used to be a majestic officer, but now he is down. His life is full of legends, but the specific experiences are rarely mentioned. I know that the story of his youth must be full of ups and downs, and behind his downfall, there must be a lot of unknown sadness.
By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father-in-law had fallen into a deep coma. I stood silently at his bedside, my heart full of doubts and uneasiness. At this time, my mother-in-law walked in, and she looked at me with a look of grief and helplessness in her eyes. She told me that her father-in-law's illness was due to an accident, but the pain in his heart was much more than that.
It turned out that the father-in-law had participated in a war when he was young. In that war, his troops were ambushed by enemy troops, and in order to protect his comrades, he rushed into enemy positions alone. He fought valiantly and eventually won, but he himself was seriously wounded and lost both legs. His comrades rescued him, but he never returned to the battlefield.
The father-in-law's heart was full of pain and regret, and he felt that he was sorry for his comrades-in-arms and the country. He began to escape reality and indulge in alcohol, which eventually led to the breakdown of the family, his wife leaving him, and his daughter living with her. His life got worse and worse, and eventually he fell to this point.
As I listened to my mother-in-law's account, my heart was filled with shock and regret. I looked at my father-in-law's wrinkled face, and a deep sympathy welled up in my heart. I think he must have gone through too much pain and suffering to be where he is today.
During my days in the hospital, I stayed with my father-in-law every day, telling him about life in the army, about our training and fighting. I know that although he can't speak, he can hear me, and he can feel my concern.
Finally, the father-in-law woke up. He looked at me with gratitude and relief in his eyes. I know that he has finally accepted my concern, and his heart is no longer so painful.
I looked at my father-in-law and secretly swore in my heart that I would do my best to take care of him, care for him, and let him live a happy life. I know that this may be the best comfort for him.
Behind the downfall of his father-in-law, there is a tragic battle experience and a painful life process. But his tenacity and bravery made me deeply admire. His story has made me cherish my current life even more and strengthened my determination to serve the country and the people. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
