Mother, after 46 years of separation, your hair has turned completely white... "In the Glorious Courtyard of Cailing Town, Duchang County, Jiangxi Province, as she watched her son dressed in military uniform and youthful appearance on the screen, Yang Taohua, the mother of martyr Jiang Xiaoming, heard this caring greeting and tears welled up in her eyes. April 15th (the 18th day of the third lunar month) is Yang Taohua's 90th birthday. On this day, volunteers from the Jiujiang Patriotic Support Army Promotion Association and local philanthropists will come to the door to send blessings to Mrs. Yang. Unlike before, this time, they took the opportunity to celebrate Yang Taohua's birthday and prepared a special birthday gift for her - a video of martyr Jiang Xiaoming restored using AI technology. When the face in her memory that she had been longing for day and night overlapped with "Jiang Xiaoming" on the screen, Yang Taohua's outstretched hands trembled slightly, as if she wanted to pass through this screen and embrace her young son. Martyr Jiang Xiaoming was born in Duchang County, Jiangxi Province. He sacrificed himself in a battle in February 1979 at the young age of 22. Upon hearing the tragic news of her son's sacrifice, Yang Taohua tearfully said, "My son sacrificed himself to defend the country. I am proud of him and also proud of him." In the blink of an eye, 46 years have passed, and Yang Taohua's longing for her son has not diminished at all. In Yang Taohua's room, neatly arranged are portraits of her son Jiang Xiaoming, military uniforms, and various medals and certificates. Every day, Yang Taohua gently touches these objects that carry her longing, as if her son has never left. After the sacrifice of martyr Jiang Xiaoming, Yang's mother has been collecting the photos of her son sent back before his death in a book. More than 40 years have passed, and the photos have faded and worn out. Yang's mother often talks about wanting to keep her son's appearance for a longer time, "said Xu Jinqian, the president of the Jiujiang Patriotic Support Army Promotion Association and a retired soldier. When he visited Yang's mother on the Double Ninth Festival in 2023 and learned about the old man's wish, he specifically contacted a photographer and a manufacturer in Jingdezhen who made porcelain plate portraits to create a porcelain plate portrait for martyr Jiang Xiaoming. After receiving this porcelain portrait, Yang Taohua loved it like a treasure and carefully wiped it several times a day. I have known Mrs. Yang for over 10 years and understand the weight of her son in her heart. ”Considering that this year marks the 90th birthday of the elderly person, Xu Jinqian started preparing early. "I often come across short videos that use AI technology to restore character images. I was thinking that if I could make one for martyr Jiang Xiaoming, it would also be a memory for Yang Mama. ”To this end, Xu Jinqian contacted local media to provide technical support and invited locals to record Mandarin and Duchang dialect audio source materials for the image of martyr Jiang Xiaoming. Quickly, the video of martyr Jiang Xiaoming restored using AI technology was completed. With the warm melody of "Birthday Song", Mother Yang's eyes sparkled with happy tears. She gladly made a birthday wish and ate a bowl of longevity noodles. Finally, everyone took a photo with Yang Taohua to capture this warm moment. In recent years, volunteers from the Jiujiang Patriotic Support Army Promotion Association have collected information such as the birthdays and wishes of martyrs' families during their visits, and established electronic "identification files". At present, they have produced AI restoration videos for 8 martyrs. (New Society)
