History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, after groping and trying many different development directions, China has finally found the right way, that is, reform and opening up, and since then China has entered an era of rapid development, with rapid progress in all aspects and strong strength. The reason why China attaches great importance to its own strength is because china was once oppressed by the great powers because of its weakness, and the Qing government relied on betraying the country in exchange for the stability of its own position, regardless of the struggle and suffering of the people at the bottom, so the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the Qing Dynasty ended. After that, the situation in the country did not improve, the domestic situation was complex, the forces were numerous, and all aspects were widely involved, so that the Japanese easily started the September 18 Incident, and since then China has been reduced to a war ground, and the war was ended 14 years later.
During this period, although the whole country believed that resistance to Japan was the top priority at present, due to Chiang Kai-shek's concept of holding the outside world first, the early war was glued, China tended to be inferior, and Japan committed countless heinous crimes in China. During this period, groups of patriotic fighters also emerged, fighting on the battlefield with their flesh and blood, fighting the enemy with backward equipment, not afraid of injury, not afraid of death, their only wish is the early peace of the country. Thanks to the efforts of these forefathers, the war ended and China won the victory. But those who made outstanding contributions to the war left the army and returned to the ordinary life of the past. The old farmer claimed to have been the commander of the Red Army, but no one believed it, and finally the commander personally came to prove his identity. So what's going on?
The soldier's name was Hou Lixiang, and he had been a regimental commander of the Red Army, but unfortunately he was hit by a bullet in the war and suffered serious damage. This injury made it impossible for him to return to the battlefield to continue fighting, and he had to return to his hometown and become an ordinary farmer. Hou Lixiang was born in 1912, when China had not yet faced the great disaster that followed, so when he was a child, Hou Lixiang lived a very peaceful life and was sent to a private school by his family to study. However, he only spent a few years in the private school, and he learned a little bit. Later, he joined the army in 1929, when he was only 18 years old and began to fight on the battlefield.
He was brave and extraordinary, never hid behind, and every time he rushed forward to fight the enemy, he received many awards, made many merits, and was also appreciated by his superiors as the leader of the regiment in the later Long March. In 1939, he was wounded on the battlefield and had no choice but to return to his hometown. While chatting with his neighbors, he accidentally revealed his former identity, said that he was the commander of the Red Army, and had made great achievements, but unfortunately no one at that time was willing to believe what he said.
Because Hou Lixiang accidentally lost his identity certificate and could not find evidence to prove his identity, he could only not be trusted by others. And Hou Lixiang was a very real person, he looked at everyone who did not believe what he said, and directly said many war things to confirm his identity. As a result, others did not believe him even more, and they all thought that everything was made up by him, and after it spread later, everyone thought that Hou Lixiang was a habitual liar and had lost his reputation in the village.
Later, he inadvertently offended the village cadres, and even became the target of criticism, and his life was difficult, and he could not even achieve a full stomach. By chance, he saw the news of his superiors in the newspaper and wrote a letter informing him of his experience, hoping to restore his identity and the honors he had received. And because the delivery was very slow, it was not until a long time ago that the leader received the letter. In 1974, an army commander came forward to confirm Hou Lixiang's former identity and restore his due treatment. After the people in the village learned about it, they were also ashamed, and some directly went to the door to apologize, but Hou Lixiang was very angry and did not care at all.
