It was another weekend. Chu Xi and Shi Peng came to the hospital with honey, fruits, and some snacks, and gently pushed open the door of the old man's ward.

When the old man saw them coming, a smile appeared on his face. This smile was like the warm sun in winter, warming the entire ward.

Although he was usually accompanied by support soldiers sent by the army, the "new recruit" was a little too dull, and there was always a sense of fear, restraint, and distance towards him.

I don't know why, but I've been looking forward to this girl's arrival...

They sat beside the old man's bed and communicated with him cordially, and the old man's boring days of recuperation finally became brighter.

There were many people who came to visit him, and they gave him a lot of supplements and fruits, but there were few people with whom he could have such a comfortable chat, so he was always looking forward to seeing Chu Xi...

Soon, the old man started talking about the topic.

The old man's eyes were deep and kind, as if they contained endless wisdom.

His voice was low and hoarse as he began to recount his experiences in the brutal wars.

"Xiaopeng, I was just like you. I joined the army when I was very young..."

The old man's name is Li Junguo. He used to be a soldier and a combat hero who had experienced countless battles.

Back then, he was young and promising. With love for his country and deep hatred for his relatives, he resolutely threw himself into the battlefield of war.

The old man recalled a fierce battle, and his eyes became firm and sharp.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, their company was once surrounded by enemy forces and the situation was extremely critical.

Comrades hid here and there in the hail of bullets, looking for an opportunity to break out.

The old man's heart was beating wildly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was once again on that thrilling battlefield.

Chu Xi began to worry about his health, but through the mental scan, she knew that the old man was recovering well, so she did not comfort him too much, but still wanted to remind him.

"Mr. Li, please take care of yourself. Don't get too excited."

But the old man's mind had already returned to the battlefield...

The enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, bullets whizzed past my ears and shells exploded around me.

He watched with his own eyes as his comrades fell one by one, and the battlefield was dyed red with blood.

The old man's voice trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

However, they did not give up.

The old man and his comrades worked closely together, supported each other, and moved forward courageously.

They used their bodies to block the enemy's attacks, buying precious time for other comrades.

In the end, they successfully broke through, but he was shot twice. Fortunately, they were not in vital parts, but he had to rest for two months.

However, twenty-three of their comrades remained there forever...

I still remember those young and resolute faces...

Chu Xi and Shi Peng listened quietly to the old man's story, and their moods also fluctuated with the old man's story.

They were moved by the old man's bravery and tenacity, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of the cruelty of war.

After recounting these experiences, the old man fell into silence for a moment.

His eyes softened, as if he was recalling the warm moments during those difficult years.

Chu Xi gently held the old man's hand and said with emotion, "Grandpa, you are our hero. Your story has deeply moved us. We will remember your efforts and sacrifices and work hard to make this world a more peaceful and beautiful place."

Shi Peng nodded in agreement and said, "Grandpa, your experience is an example for us to learn from. No matter how great the difficulties we face, we must be as brave and perseverant as you and fight for justice and peace."

The old man looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of relief and hope.

He knows that his story will continue to be passed on and inspire more people.

When leaving the ward, Chu Xi and Shi Peng's hearts were filled with respect.

This communication with the old man gave them a deeper understanding of the cruelty of war and the greatness of soldiers.

The country had just experienced a decade of turmoil, and everything was in ruins. Surrounded by wolves, it was truly surrounded. Beneath the surface of peace, turbulent waves were rising and falling...

There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for you!

In those unknown places, there are many brave men who are dedicating their sweat and blood to this country...

They want to share the old man's story with more people, so that more people can understand that history and cherish the peaceful life they have now.

Walking out of the hospital gate, Chu Xi and Shi Peng felt that they were shouldering a more important mission.

I only hope that the years will be peaceful, the mountains and rivers will be safe, and you and I will be at peace!
