On September 2nd, the descendants of two veteran soldiers once again came to pay their respects at Zhang Yu's tomb, carrying on the baton of love from their parents, as revealed by an unpaid debt. "Brother, this is the nutrition I bought for my brother Thank you... "On August 28th, in the ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University in Liaoning Province, two unrelated descendants of soldiers, Wang Zixuan and Zhang Zhengli, hugged each other tightly, as if they were brothers. The story of the two should start with their parents. In 1980, Wang Zixuan's father Wang Qingjun enlisted from Gai County (now Gaizhou City) in Liaoning Province and came to a regiment in the former Jinan Military Region. The first comrade he met was Zhang Yu, a newly recruited squad leader from Jinzhou, also from Liaoning. The two of them have similar hometown areas and are connected by mountains and seas. In addition, Zhang Yu is an orphan, and Wang Qingjun's father also passed away early. The similar family background has brought the two young hearts closer and closer, forming a deep friendship. Once, the company organized a live grenade throwing training, and Wang Qingjun was too nervous. As soon as he pulled the fuse, the grenade slipped from his hand. Speaking too late, then too fast, Zhang Yu quickly stepped forward and dragged Wang Qingjun into the nearby bomb shelter. In the winter of 1983, Wang Qingjun's mother fell ill and urgently needed medical expenses. Upon learning of the situation, Zhang Yu immediately took out his accumulated 330 yuan allowance and handed it over to Wang Qingjun. With his own allowance, Wang Qingjun gathered enough money and hurriedly boarded the train home. To Wang Qingjun's great regret, when he returned to the army, Zhang Yu, who had completed his service, had already retired and returned home. Two years later, Wang Qingjun also retired and returned to his hometown. Countless days and nights, the loan that had not been repaid was like a stone, weighing on Wang Qingjun's heart. After several years of hard work, at the end of 1989, Wang Qingjun finally saved up enough debt and was ready to repay his comrades in full. Wang Qingjun knows that Zhang Yu's hometown is in Heishan County, Jinzhou City. However, with a sea of people and no other means of contact, Wang Qingjun had no choice but to embark on the journey of finding his benefactor. He traveled to hundreds of villages, big and small, in Heishan County, but there was no news from the old squad leader. Later, my father fell ill and his body and bones were inconvenient, so I temporarily put aside the idea of searching Wang Zixuan told me that later on, as the company's profitability gradually improved, Wang Qingjun often used some of the profits to help disadvantaged military families, elderly people living alone, and orphans, in another way to repay his benefactors. In 2004, Wang Zixuan enlisted in the military under the influence of his father. Before leaving, my father held my hand and instructed me to work hard in the army and have more opportunities to inquire about Uncle Zhang's whereabouts. I didn't understand before, but after 12 years of military service, I finally understood their friendship, "said Wang Zixuan. Oh my child! You must find Uncle Zhang and return the money... "On March 29, 2021, Wang Qingjun passed away with regret. In order to fulfill his father's last wish, Wang Zixuan entrusted his family business to his wife's care and drove alone between Gaizhou and Jinzhou, using various channels to release information and seeking assistance from the retired military affairs bureaus in both places. With the joint assistance of the two veteran affairs bureaus, the situation has reached a turning point. Excuse me, are you the son of Uncle Wang Qingjun? I am Zhang Zhengli, the son of Zhang Yu Over a month ago, Wang Zixuan, who had just woken up, was overjoyed when he received a phone call. Upon learning that Uncle Zhang had passed away, he immediately drove to Jinzhou and arrived at Zhang Yu's tomb with Zhang Zhengli. Uncle Zhang, I am the son of Wang Qingjun! After so many years, I finally found you The sky was drizzling with a light rain, and in front of a tomb in Maoshan Cemetery, Wang Zixuan bowed deeply, his voice choked up. Zhang Zhengli stepped forward and patted Wang Zixuan's shoulder, and the two descendants of veteran soldiers hugged tightly. This long-awaited reunion has tightly linked two middle-aged people who are not related by blood. Zhang Zhengli told me that he served as a soldier for 5 years, and his father Zhang Yu often talked about his comrade Wang Qingjun. Before his death, he even instructed him to have the opportunity to find his comrade on his behalf. Brother, this is a loan that my father asked me to repay Uncle Zhang. Please accept it for Uncle Zhang After the worship, Wang Zixuan took out an envelope from the car and handed it to Zhang Zhengli with both hands. Even though life is difficult, my father never thought of asking Uncle Wang to repay the money... "Zhang Zhengli refused to accept anything. A few days ago, during a video chat with Zhang Zhengli, Wang Zixuan learned that Zhang Zhengli's wife was ill and receiving treatment in the hospital. Putting down the phone, Wang Zixuan and his wife went straight to Jinzhou to visit, busy taking care of each other until Zhang Zhengli's wife was discharged from the hospital, which was the scene at the beginning of the article. During their time in the hospital, Wang Zixuan and Zhang Zhengli often chatted together. After retiring and returning to his hometown in 2016, Wang Zixuan took over his father's business and also took over his father's baton of love. My father always said that if he couldn't find the old squad leader, he would pass on his heart and feelings to more people. Over the years, the father and son have solved more than 30 difficult problems for military families in need, helped 16 retired soldiers start businesses and find employment, and donated nearly 300000 yuan in donations and goods to orphanages and nursing homes. Coincidentally, after Zhang Zhengli's entrepreneurship made some progress, he also sponsored two students from financially disadvantaged families to attend school and helped two retired soldiers solve related problems. The two agreed to continue their public welfare work, inherit the spirit of their parents, and convey warmth and goodwill. An unpaid debt brings out a heartwarming agreement between two generations of veterans. Comrades, comrades, as close as brothers... "As they bid farewell, Wang Zixuan and Zhang Zhengli hummed the song of comrades together, their resounding voices drifting far and wide... (New Press)
