On the afternoon of January 30, the Yunnan Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics returned to China to hold the 2024 New Year Tea Party. Relevant leaders of Yunnan Provincial Federation of Overseas Chinese, Taihe Sub-district Office of Guandu District, Wujing Community, Kunming Anxi Chamber of Commerce, as well as members and members of the leadership team of the Research Association participated.
Nanqiao mechanics are synonymous with a group of Nanyang overseas Chinese more than 70 years ago. At the critical moment when the motherland was invaded, and actively responded to the call of the patriotic overseas Chinese Chen Jiageng, 3,200 young drivers and repairmen living in Nanyang formed the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics Return Service Group, resolutely bid farewell to their parents and relatives, traveled across the ocean, and devoted themselves to the sacred anti-Japanese and national salvation service work.
Braving the enemy's artillery fire, they were willing to pay with their blood and lives, rushed to transport military supplies and soldiers day and night on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, unremittingly assembled and repaired vehicles, and trained drivers and mechanics, thus ensuring the smooth flow of this anti-Japanese transportation line and composing a historical monument epic that can be sung and wept.
Lin Xiaochang, a member of the 11th and 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and president of the History Research Association of Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics in Yunnan Province, introduced that the nation is in trouble and the husband is responsible, and he is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and sacrifices himself for the country. This spirit of Nanyang overseas Chinese mechanics should be remembered forever by the nation.
