Zhao Mengsheng returned home victoriously with a military medal on his chest.
But there was no smile on his face, because he had lost his comrades, too many!
Those two military medals were exchanged for the blood of countless comrades!
Zhao Mengsheng, who returned to China, still stayed in his army and did not choose to be transferred with peace of mind. He felt that he owed too much to those comrades who had sacrificed their lives!
What made the audience in the theater extremely shocked and angry.
Jin Kailai, who sacrificed himself cutting sugar cane to replenish water for his company, was not even awarded a third-class merit award!
But this is the reality, the cruel reality.
Zhao Mengsheng cordially received every family member who came to the army.
But when he saw Jin Kailai's wife and son, he didn't dare to look at them because he didn't know how to tell her why Jin Kailai sacrificed but didn't get the credit he deserved.
He wanted to give his military medal to Jin Kailai's wife, but she refused!
She said: "He has no merit and cannot be rewarded!"
Zhao Mengsheng said excitedly: "No, he is indeed a hero. He blew up two enemy bunkers alone. It was he who led us to repel the enemy's three counterattacks! Finally, on the unknown high ground, he, he was for Let’s go cut sugar cane…”
Jin Kailai's wife cried: "Stop talking, I know everything!"
But Zhao Mengsheng continued to say with tears in his eyes: "Come here and save our Ninth Company!"
Finally, it was Jin Kailai's son who accepted the medal and said, "Mom, I want this medal. This is dad's medal!"
Xiao Yanjing's family members didn't come for a long time, but in the end Zhao Mengsheng found out that his name was Lei Kaihua, and he was the son of Commander Lei!
The camera changed, and a photo showed Commander Lei and Xiao Yanjing together.
On the table is the "On War" that Xiao Yanjing always carried with him!
It's just a pity that the soldier who wanted to be a marshal, the soldier who liked reading, fell asleep on the battlefield forever!
Commander Lei thought of his son who kept saying he wanted to be a marshal, and wrote a tearful letter to his old wife at home.
He said, "My son hasn't written to you for so long. I think you should know. If I can stand it, you should too!"
However, how could he withstand it? Tears were streaming down his face as he wrote!
That's his son!
How could he not be sad, but he had no regrets, because he was not only his son, but also a soldier!
"Kaihua, you can't come back. My child was sacrificed!"
"The ancients said that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both. Kaihua sacrificed his life for the country. We should feel honored to have such a child. Don't worry, after retirement, I will accompany you to the battlefield to buy groceries!"
The theater was already bursting into tears.
Zhao Mengsheng’s mother mocked Commander Lei for being so majestic on the stage!
Lei Zhen kept apologizing, but said that it was what he had to do.
This made Zhao Mengsheng's mother very dissatisfied!
But when Zhao Mengsheng gave Lei Kaihua's military medal to Commander Lei.
This tough man couldn't help but burst into tears again.
He is not only a soldier, he is also a father!
In this way, Zhao Mengsheng's mother knew that it turned out that Commander Lei sent his son to the front line and died!
And he just said: "Kaihua, he is no longer here!"
Then came Xiao Jin, his father came.
Xiao Jin, who was lying on the hospital bed, said: "Dad, I am only slightly injured!"
But his father reached out and touched his feet, but nothing happened. He opened the sheet and found that both of his legs had been amputated!
Xiao Jin said: "Dad, don't tell grandma!"
"I will never see her again."
He handed the crutch he made to his father and said, "Give her this, I made it!"
He just doesn't want to make grandma sad!
Because compared to the company commander, they would never come back, he felt that he was indeed slightly injured!
The last to arrive were the family members of company commander Liang Sanxi.
His mother, wife and infant child came to the army together. Facing the relatives of the man who saved him, Zhao Mengsheng did not hesitate to sell his beloved camera in order to repay the debt in his heart. And Liang Sanxi also left a debt before he died, which was the debt he owed for treating his father's illness!
Zhao Mengsheng sent the relics of company commander Liang Sanxi!
Han Yuxiu looked through her lover's belongings with tears in her eyes until she saw the rattle at the bottom!
Han Yuxiu, who had always been strong not to let herself cry, couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged Liang Sanxi's clothes and burst into tears!
At night, Han Yuxiu ran out and came to the grave where her lover was buried.
"Sanxi, I... came to see you again!"
She could no longer bear to lie on the grave, crying and shouting her lover's name: "Sanxi!"
After three years of marriage, since the last time she came to the company to visit relatives, she never expected that when she came to see him again, she would only be in front of his grave!
And this "three joys" also made the entire audience in the theater feel heartbroken!
She wiped the tombstone as if caressing her former lover, and murmured: "Sanxi, my mother and I will leave the day after tomorrow! Don't worry, just close your eyes. I want to provide for my mother in her old age, and send her to her death. Panpan , I will raise you as an adult!"
Commander Lei also came to the cemetery where the martyrs were buried.
He asked Han Yuxiu and Sanxi's mother: "Are they the family members of the martyrs?"
He said: "Me too, my child is buried here too!"
Sanxi Niang asked: "Who is this in your family?"
Commander Lei said: "This is the only one!"
"Your home is..."
Sanxi Niang said: "It's the third child. The eldest brother died while fighting the Japanese...the second child..."
Towards the end of the film, Commander Lei became furious after learning about Jin Kailai.
He yelled that some comrades love to flatter themselves, but those who dare to express opinions will not let go even to death!
"For a martyr like Jin Kailai, if he is not given meritorious services, it will be unjust."
In the evening, there was a farewell banquet for Liang Sanxi’s family.
Commander Lei appeared again.
After learning his identity, Liang Shanxi's mother choked up and said: "You are a military commander. You sent your child to the front line and died. Even if I only see this one, I finally see it. Okay, okay! Well done to you! The country of China can prosper!"
Finally, Zhao Mengsheng originally wanted to hide the fact that Liang Sanxi's mother and wife owed bills, but he didn't expect that Liang Sanxi had already explained this in the last letter he sent home!
Sanxi Niang took out the money sewn on her body and said: "Sanxi owes 620 yuan to the team, I brought it all!"
She took out the money and Liang Sanxi and finally sent it back to pay the bill!
"I heard that the comrade surnamed Liu also died. Then send the money to his house! The account cannot be empty after death! Please help me!!"
There was no way Zhao Mengsheng could take the money, and others also tried to persuade him not to use the pension to pay off the debt.
But Sanxi’s mother said: “But I can’t violate the words Sanxi left behind during her lifetime!”
Han Yuxiu returned to the room and hugged her son.
I remembered the content of Liang Sanxi’s last letter.
He said: "Yuxiu, I am about to go to the battlefield. In the battle, life and death are unpredictable. If I die in the battle, this letter can be regarded as my... suicide note, I miss it." It’s my mother and you who have suffered hardships all her life and have never enjoyed a single day of happiness. I, as a son, have not shown any filial piety. Thinking of this, my heart feels like a knife. Yuxiu, I am serving as a soldier and cannot help. Give me a hand. Since you came to my house, you have been like a long-term worker. You work in the fields every day, go home to serve the elderly, carry water to cook, feed pigs and chickens, everything depends on you inside and outside. You are so tired, But not a single complaint!”
"Xiu, since you married me, I haven't bought you a decent dress. Thinking of this, I feel that I will never be sorry for you in my life. Xiu, you are so kind to me, the Liang family, and I am in Jiuquan." I am extremely grateful..."
Finally, he said in the letter why he owed that debt. It was because he owed it while treating his father two years ago.
"People die, but debts cannot die. Yuxiu, we are poor but our ambitions cannot be short-lived. You must pay off the debts I owe! Yuxiu, I have one more sentence, you must follow it, you You are still young, only twenty-four years old. After I die, if you meet the right person, you can... start another family! My mother is a sensible person. In that case, she will be happy, and I will be under the nine springs. I just closed my eyes! Yuxiu, I don’t have anything, I didn’t leave you any inheritance, I only have a military coat, which I don’t want to wear. When you get married in the future, I will use it as your dowry gift!"
"Yuxiu, is the child almost one month old now? You wrote and asked me to give the child a name. After much thought, I decided to call it Panpan. Let you and the child hope for a good life! "
But, San Xier, do you know that after reading such a letter and falling in love with someone like you, how can you remarry?
Finally, the camera showed the garland under the mountain!
Commander Lei solemnly saluted with a military salute!
"All of you! Salute!"
At this time, a veteran in the theater suddenly stood up, and everyone else followed suit.
Salute to the garland under the mountain on the big screen!
The melody of music sounded.
"Maybe I say goodbye and will never come back. Do you understand? Do you understand?
Maybe I will fall down and never get up again. Do you still have to look forward to it forever?
If so, don't be sad, our blood-stained style is on the flag of the Republic.
Maybe my eyes can no longer be opened. Do you understand my silent feelings?
Maybe I will never wake up from my long sleep. Do you believe that I turned into a mountain?
If this is the case, don't be sad. The love we have given is in the soil of the Republic.
If so, don't be sad, our blood-stained style is on the flag of the Republic!
Blood-stained style! "
Along with the singing, the theater was already bursting into tears.
ps: Youku has a high-definition version of "Wreaths Under the Mountains". I strongly recommend you to take a look. When I wrote it, my eyes were sore from crying!
