Chapter 1301 (1/2)

President Li was eager to meet Li Mu, but Li Mu didn't become a competent host to receive these guests from afar in the hotel. Today, he and the staff of the foundation drove to the cemetery of flying tiger players in the suburb of Chuncheng to mourn.

Veterans know that there is a cemetery on the outskirts of Chuncheng and have been looking for opportunities to come to mourn, but the staff of the foundation did not include this item in their previous itinerary.

This is also the only arrangement the foundation has not followed the will of veterans.

Liu Xin has not arranged for veterans to come to mourn. The main reason is that the current situation of the ”cemetery” is very painful. The cemetery has existed since 43 years ago. The pilots and ground soldiers who died in the battle of the flying tigers, whether Chinese or Americans, are all buried there. It is said that at most, there are 700 or 800 tombs here 。

However, after the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the United States took the remains of the American Flying Tigers and brought them back to the United States for burial, leaving the graves of nearly 500 Chinese martyrs. However, in the following decades, the graves of these Chinese Flying Tigers suffered a lot.

First of all, in the early 1950s, because of the construction needs, local villagers dug out almost all the coffins and tombstones of the martyrs, and then transported them to a nameless mountain for burial. Then, in the late 1950s, the era of large-scale leap forward, because of the water conservancy construction, all the tombstones of these martyrs were used by the production team to build the reservoir.

In the 1980s, the coffins of these martyrs were almost without exception stolen by tomb robbers. The coffins were basically destroyed and opened by tomb robbers, which made people choke.

When Liu Xin heard the news, she never told the veterans the actual situation. She wept several times by herself, but she couldn't say it.

What do you say?

More than 20 old Chinese flying tigers are thinking of mourning their former comrades. They go to the grave to light a cigarette, pour a glass of wine, and then talk to the familiar comrades.

Although the remains of the American Flying Tigers in the cemetery have long been moved back to the United States for burial, these old American Flying Tigers invited to China are also eager to go to the cemetery to present a bunch of flowers to the Chinese comrades who fought side by side.

When faced with the sincere heart of more than 50 old people, Liu Xin is stuck in his throat. He can't tell them that the tombs of your beloved comrades in arms have been destroyed, the original tombs of martyrs have been removed, and the tombstones have become the stones for building reservoirs. The coffins have also been completely destroyed by tomb thieves, right?

Therefore, Liu Xin planned all the trips of the old man to look for the memories of that year. He went to see the old aviation school, the old airport, the old dormitories, and the small village where the pilot was rescued after the crash, but he didn't go to the remote cemetery.

However, according to the original plan, the American veterans will return to the United States tomorrow. The Chinese veterans will also be separated temporarily. Some will go home and some will go to the military area sanatorium. So today is the last day for us to get together. More than 50 old people can't stand it any longer. They have asked Liu Xin to take them to the cemetery to have a look and mourn It's the spirit of heaven who can afford these martyrs.

Liu Xin couldn't help but find Li Mu early in the morning. While crying, she explained the situation of the martyr cemetery to Li Mu. She hoped that Li Mu could help her to persuade the old people. She really didn't want the old people to know the heartbreaking news.

Li Mu was also very sad after hearing this. In the past 50 or 60 years, we even failed to protect the martyr's cemetery. If the surviving veterans knew this, what kind of cold and snowstorm would they have to endure?

However, it's not like to stop the old soldiers from going. This activity of keeping the old soldiers alive gives the old people a lot of consolation and a lifelong wish to reunite with their comrades in arms. After so many years of reuniting, the most people who think about it must be those who have failed to live to the present. If they really don't let them mourn in the past, this regret may be a companion With life.

After thinking about it, Li Mu made the final decision.

Go!

All the staff, along with themselves!

Liu Xin made a mistake and said, ”but what we can find now is a mass grave. Our volunteers went to see it. It's really sad. I'm afraid they can't accept it...”

Li Mu said: ”that also can't let these old people leave Chuncheng with regret.”

Speaking of this, Li Mu sighed deeply and said: ”in fact, the psychological endurance of these old people is much stronger than that of us. They have experienced the cruel Anti Japanese War and the rough second half of their lives. They have a deeper understanding of the reality of society than we do. At this time, I believe that what they really want is to interact with the spirit of the deceased, let them go, and make great profits The disadvantages outweigh the advantages. ”
