Mr. Li wanted to see Li Mu, but Li Mu did not serve as a competent host to receive these guests from afar in the hotel. Today, he and the foundation staff drove to the Flying Tigers Cemetery on the outskirts of Chuncheng City to mourn.

The veterans knew that there was a cemetery in the outskirts of Chuncheng City and had always wanted to find an opportunity to mourn, but this item was not included in the itinerary arranged for them by the foundation staff.

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

The reason why Liu Xinying has never arranged for veterans to come and mourn is mainly because the current situation of this "cemetery" is really heartbreaking. This cemetery has existed in 43 years. Pilots and ground soldiers who died in battle, whether Chinese or Americans, were buried there. It is said that at the most, there were seven or eight hundred graves here.

However, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the United States took away the remains of the American Flying Tigers martyrs and brought them back to the United States for burial. There were almost 500 graves of Chinese martyrs. However, in the following decades, the cemeteries of these Chinese Flying Tigers martyrs were full of disasters.

First of all, in the early 1950s, due to the construction needs, local villagers dug out almost all the coffins and tombstones of the martyrs, and then transported them to an unknown mountain to bury them. Then in the late 1950s, when a large-scale leap forward was made, all the tombstones of these martyrs were used by the production team to build reservoirs.

In the 1980s, these martyrs' coffins were almost unearthed by tomb robbers, and the coffins were basically destroyed by tomb robbers, which was regrettable.

After Liu Xinying found out about the news, she never told the actual situation of the veterans. She wiped her tears several times by herself, but she really couldn't say this.

How to say it?

More than 20 Chinese Flying Tigers members were determined to mourn their comrades back then. They went to the grave to light a cigarette, pour a glass of wine, and then expressed their feelings at the tomb of their familiar comrades.

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

Whenever facing the sincere hearts of these fifty old men, Liu Xinying is like a thorn in her throat. She can't tell them that the tombs of your comrades who are longing for have been destroyed, the original tombs of the martyrs have been moved away, the tombstones have become stones for the construction of reservoirs, and the coffins have been completely destroyed by tomb robbers, right?

So Liu Xinying planned all the old man's outing trips as a journey to find memories of that year, to see the old aviation school, to see the old airport and dormitory of that year, and to see the small village where the pilot was rescued after the plane crash, but he did not go to this remote cemetery.

However, the original plan was that these American veterans would return to the United States tomorrow, and the veterans from China would be separated temporarily. Some would go home and some would go to the military sanatorium. Therefore, today is the last day for everyone to get together. More than 50 elderly people could no longer hold back and asked Liu Xinying to take them to the cemetery to see and mourn, which was worthy of the spirit of heaven that these martyrs were in heaven.

Liu Xinying had no choice but to find Li Mu early in the morning. While crying, she explained the situation in the Martyrs' Cemetery to Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu could help her persuade the elderly. She really didn't want the elderly to learn about these heartbreaking news.

Li Mu was very regretful after hearing this. For only fifty or sixty years, we were unable to protect the cemeteries of the martyrs. If the surviving veterans knew this, what kind of cold blizzard would they have to endure in their hearts?

However, it is really unreasonable to stop him from going. This veteran's immortality activity gave the elderly great comfort and fulfilled their lifelong wish to reunite with their comrades. After so many years of reunion, the ones who remembered the most must be the deceased who had not lived to this day. If they were really not allowed to mourn, this regret would probably accompany them for the rest of their lives.

思前想后,李牧做出了最终的决定.

go!

所有的工作人员,连同自己也一起去!

Liu Xinying was in trouble and said, "But what we can find now is a mass grave. Our volunteers have visited it. The feeling is so miserable. I'm afraid they can't accept it..."

Li Mu said: "Then we can't let these old people leave Chuncheng with regrets."

Speaking of this, Li Mushen sighed and said, "In fact, the psychological endurance of these old people is much stronger than that of us. They have experienced the cruel war of resistance and the bumpy second half of their lives. They have a deeper understanding of the reality of society than us. At this time, I believe that what they really want is to interact with the deceased. Let them go, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and not let them go, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

刘新颖沉默了.

Li Mu was right. He felt that the elderly might not be able to accept that reality. But thinking about the experiences of these elderly people, they are really the most powerful and greatest people in the world. They took life and death light decades ago, and advocated the will to serve the country by wrapping the corpse in horses and corpses. They have seen so much about the cruelty of the battlefield. They should have a strong sense of tolerance in the face of some current reality.

However, Li Mu still had more considerations. He said: "French, take the elderly back, but we must give them a promise. Within one or two days, we are unable to restore these martyrs' tombs, but we must promise the veterans that the Veterans' Immortal Charity Foundation will definitely allocate special funds to rebuild all the remains and coffins of all the veterans. Do our best to retrieve all the tombstones of all the veterans. If they cannot be found, we must also find the information of the martyrs, remade the tombstones, and find a place with good feng shui, good scenery and convenient transportation in Chuncheng, and rebuild a Flying Tigers Martyrs Cemetery!"

Speaking of this, Li Mu added: "It is not just about building a martyr's cemetery! It is also about investing in building a historical memorial hall of the Flying Tigers next to the cemetery. We now have 30 to 4 billion yuan of funds available. This money is not only used to improve the lives of every surviving veteran, but also to be responsible for those deceased veterans, give them enough respect, and pass on their spirit and heroic deeds. We will do this. If you send the plane to the end tomorrow, you will go to communicate with the local government."

"Okay!" Liu Xinying nodded repeatedly. In her opinion, Li Mu's solution was beyond her imagination. If these promises were made to the veterans and fulfilled them one by one, I believe the veterans would definitely receive great comfort.

Li Mu also told her: "You contact the reporters of key media, as well as reporters of local media in Yunsheng and Chuncheng, and invite them to take pictures with you. The whole society owes too much to veterans, not only those who are alive, but also those who are sacrificed. I hope that through their tracking and shooting, the society can realize this."

“好的,我这就去通知!”

...

When Mr. Li arrived at the hotel, Li Mu had already arrived in the mountainous areas of the outskirts of Chuncheng with dozens of Flying Tigers, nearly a hundred relatives of Flying Tigers, dozens of volunteers, staff and dozens of reporters.

The temporarily invited reporters were originally at the airport, but suddenly they received the invitation and followed them immediately, but they had no idea what the purpose was before the charity night was about to begin, Li Mu and the entire foundation, more than 50 veterans set out to the suburbs of the city.

It was not until the staff led everyone to a mass grave that Liu Xinying told the truth.

In front of all the veterans and reporters, Liu Xinying choked and explained how the martyrs' tombs gradually became mass graves. This news made everyone feel regretful. Many veterans stood in front of the rotten coffins of the mass graves for a long time. When their relatives and volunteers from the foundation were crying silently, they unexpectedly did not cry.

Li Mu is right, the psychological endurance of these veterans is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Old man Sun Xiaozhong sighed with a crutch and said, "I only need to die for the country on the battlefield, why do I need to wear a horse and wrap my body around me... Brothers, we are here to see you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Chinese veterans trembled and said in unison: "Brothers, we are here to see you!"

Old man Sun Xiaozhong secretly wiped his tears and turned to the other veterans and said, "Living brothers, let's toast the brothers Chengren's brothers!"

The volunteers took out the liquor prepared in advance from the packages they accompanied and handed a bottle to each of the Chinese veterans. Old man Sun Xiaozhong and other old men scattered the wine in a tacit understanding. Each person was in one direction. Whenever he walked to a broken grave, a rotten grave, or an exposed old coffin, he would pour some and silently recite something.

The son of a veteran whispered to the reporter who cried and looked red, saying, "My father told me before that when the corpses of martyrs were counted after the war, before burying, the living people would order some white wine on each martyr's corpse to let them go all the way."

Everyone heard it in their ears, and although they remained silent, they entered their hearts without saying a word.

The old people sighed and lamented to pay homage to their deceased comrades. After everyone's mood eased, Liu Xinying made a promise to everyone that Li Mu was instructed to invest in the construction of the martyrs' tombs of the Flying Tigers and the Flying Tigers Memorial Hall. At the same time, all the remains of the martyrs were moved out and rebuilt, and all were buried in the martyrs' tombs, and then negotiated with the local government to send a salvage team to the reservoir to salvage the martyrs' tombstones, etc.

Veterans who had been tense and still had tears in their eyes, after hearing this promise, could not control their tears. They no longer had the ability to take care of these deceased comrades, and even they themselves needed to be cared for by society and helped by society. In this case, the foundation was willing to take good care of these deceased heroes, which was a great comfort for them.

The American Flying Tigers learned everything through the translation and couldn't help but burst into tears. They expressed their willingness to donate to this tomb, but Li Mu clearly stated that he could not accept donations from veterans and told them: "I have reached a consensus with a friend of the United States. Muye Technology and him jointly invested 10 million US dollars to establish a veteran in the United States-American Charity Foundation. Not only Chinese veterans need care and care, but veterans all over the world need it."

The old American Flying Tigers team member did not expect that Li Mu, a Chinese, would be willing to bring the charity of veterans to the United States. However, when they thought of the sensation caused by veterans' failure to die in China and the funds and resources raised for veterans, they were also shocked. If the same thing could happen in the United States, it would be better!
