Officer Li appeared in the carriage with his troops. Although the carriage was shaking, he stood firmly. She stood upright without holding anything and spoke loudly. He said that he was a cadre at the navy's Lushun base. " From the moment we put on our military uniforms, we have all become navy soldiers. Now the train is speeding towards Lushun. Tomorrow afternoon, we will arrive at Lushun Pass." He also said that it was now night time, so everyone should pay attention to safety. Don't move around in the carriage and you can sleep.
When they left the school, everyone was still in a daze. They knew that they might be traveling far, but no one knew where they were going. Li Lingbing's words relieved everyone's doubts about where they were going and calmed them down. She studied geography and history in school. Ah Hui knew that Lushun was a military port and a strategic location. Lushun was the main battlefield of the 1894 - 1895 War and the Russo-Japanese War. Japan surrendered in 1945, the Soviet Union occupied it for another 10 years, and it was only returned to China in 1955. Some people said," Lushunkou is the modern history of the Celestial Dynasty." At this moment, the train was roaring and speeding towards that place. Ah Hui's heart was very uneasy. He yearned for that place.
It was late at night. Looking out of the small window, it was pitch-black. Occasionally, some lights would fly backward. The car rocked and rumbled. At some point, Ah Hui had fallen asleep. It was not until a loud bang that Ah Hui was jolted awake. The train slowly came to a stop as the sky brightened. It was morning at Jinzhou Station. The recruits, who had been sitting in the carriage for the whole night, were all fighting to peek out of the small windows on both sides of the carriage, curiously looking at the important town in western Liaoning. Ah Hui was on the upper deck of the carriage. In front of him was a window. He pushed the iron plate up, and a cold wind immediately rushed in. So cold! The novels " Forest of Snowy Lands " and " Legend of Hulan River " had descriptions of the freezing cold wind in the northeast. Many people in his hometown had traveled through the east of the country, and his father himself had also gone to the spring in Hei Long Jiang. In the early 1950s, Zhang Qingyuan and Zhang Qingzun went to Tieling, Liaoning. Because they hadn't been gone for long. When Ah Hui was young, her parents and family often talked about them and missed them.‘Lan Tou and Ou Zi were the two sisters who followed Daren to the east of the country. Father and mother often mentioned their names. Therefore, Ah Hui had yearned to go beyond the Great Wall since she was young. It was said that it was very cold in the east of the country, but reading a novel did not mean that one was in the real world, and listening to others did not mean that one saw it with one's eyes. The wind blowing from the small window made Ah Hui feel the cold air in the east of the country. The wind was blowing right at his face, like a knife cutting him. He had never felt such a feeling in his twenty years in the pass. But Jinzhou was not the end of this trip. " If we go further north, it will definitely be colder," Ah Hui thought. Jinzhou was the main battlefield of the Liaoshen Battle. The famous Battle of Tashan took place here. In the village, Zhang Fengbiao, Zhang Fengge, Xia Junshi, Xia Changzhong, and Xia Changmu had all fought here. When he was young, Gou Fu sang opera. Before the official performance, there was a line sung by Qingyi Dahuozi: " Passing Qinghuangdao, arriving at Shanhaiguan, passing Xingcheng, Jinzhou is a big station, passing Goutangzi is Dahu Mountain, and Xinmin is not far from Fengtian." This was the route that the people from her hometown took to break through the east of the country. It was very clear in Ah Hui's memory. Now that they were in Jinzhou, why not take a good look? Outside the window, a tall black tower protruded from a cluster of buildings. There was a street below the tower, extending from low to high. Perhaps it was the time to go to work, but the cars and people on the street flowed like a river. The railway tracks in the station were laid out one after another. It was no wonder that the ditch government said that Jinzhou was a big station. The platform and tracks were covered with a layer of snow. When the car stopped, no one came out. Half an hour later, a few railway workers came out with big caps. There was also a woman in work clothes. They were here to deliver breakfast. The men were delivering bread to each other. The woman carried a bucket of water. Whenever she reached a carriage, she would call out at the door," Drink some water, water." When the recruits heard the shouts, they took the tea jars and got out of the car to fetch water. The girl was in her twenties. She was tall and had thick black hair. She had two thick braids that reached her shoulders. The half-new and half-worn work clothes looked very fitting on her. Her slightly red face showed her youthful beauty. She was the first girl from the east of the country to appear in the eyes of the recruits. Her beauty and passion made the hot-blooded young men in the carriage who had dedicated themselves to national defense feel proud.
After drinking the water and eating the bread, the train started to shake again. The sky was already bright. The sunlight came in through the small window and brightened up the car. Ah Hui leaned against the window, ignoring the cold wind. She curiously looked at the rotating northeast outside the window. Ice and snow, yellow withered grass, mountains, trees, and villages flashed past his eyes. In an open field, a large river was covered in ice and snow. There were cattle and sheep grazing, and a lonely shepherd stood on the snow. Ah, our stuffy pot is flying over the land of Kanto. This was a magical land. A few hundred years ago, the Ming and Qing dynasties had fought here. Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan, and Hong Chengtao had played out stories that shook history, and the recent Liaoshen Battle was even more fresh in people's minds.，
After a while, Li Lingbing stood up at the door and said loudly,"We are currently driving on the battlefield of the Liaoshen Battle. The Battle of Liaoyang lasted from November 2 to December 22, 1948, lasting 52 days. At the cost of 690,000 casualties, the Northeast Field Army wiped out 4.72 million people from the National Army and captured 186 senior officers above the rank of major general. He had liberated the entire northeast and created decisive conditions for the victory of the Pingjin Battle and the liberation of the entire country.”When the recruits heard this, they were all shocked by the fighting spirit of their seniors.
"Company Commander, did you participate in the Liaoshen Battle?”A young recruit whispered to Li Lingbing. "Yes, but I was just like you at that time. I just joined the army and didn't make any contributions. Our class monitor played well and became a war hero.”Li Lingbing said embarrassedly. When Ah Hui heard this, she looked at Li Lingbing attentively and felt that he had suddenly become taller. Ah Hui thought, several people in the village had fought in Jinzhou. Would he know them? Hence, he also came forward and asked,"Do you know Xia Changzhong from our village?"
"I don't know him."
"Where's Xia Changmu?"
"I don't know him."
"Zhang Fengge, Zhang Fengwang."
"I don't know him either."
Ah Hui said," They all fought in Jinzhou." Everyone laughed. Li Lingbing said," There are many people attacking Jinzhou. There are 100,000 troops. Apart from the squad, he didn't know any of the companies because there were many new recruits.”
In Ah Hui's heart, Xia Changmu, Xia Changzhong, and Zhang Fengge were all heroes of Xia Manor. During the most difficult years of the War of Resistance against Japan, they left their homes, their wives, children, and parents to go to the front lines of the war. During the three years of the War of Liberation, Xia Changzhong and Zhang Fengge had been fighting the enemy on the front line. They only returned to China after the Korean Armistice in 1953. Xia Changzhong returned home and became an ordinary farmer until his death. In 1958, when the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army withdrew from North Korea, Xia Changmu returned to China and participated in the self-defense counterattack between China and India. Li Lingbing actually didn't know them, which made Ah Hui a little disappointed.
Meng Fanrong and Wang Jinshan were classmates of Ah Hui. When they saw Ah Hui guarding the small window, they all came over." Your place is still better. We can see the scenery outside."”Therefore, the three of them went to the small window and looked out. The trees and rivers outside were flashing and flying backward. It was the second day after they left school. The shaking of the train woke Ah Hui up from her dream. She suddenly realized that she was no longer a student. In the past, when they were in the classroom every day, they didn't feel the preciousness of student time at all. Now that they were on the train, they finally realized the preciousness of student life. After he left, he would never have the time to study with his classmates again! At this moment, Ah Hui remembered what her classmate Yang Ruiqing had said. Not long ago, he had been selected to work in the national civil aviation department. Everyone thought that it was a good thing. He was happy, and others were envious. However, after he left the school, he wrote a letter to Ah Hui, saying that he regretted it and asked Ah Hui to cherish the time she spent studying and not leave the school. Ah Hui didn't understand at that time. When Yang was in school, he was also a little tired of studying. Why did he change after leaving? At this moment, Ah Hui understood Yang Ruiqing. It turned out that she and Yang Ruiqing were in the same mood now.
The tank shook, and Ah Hui's heart couldn't help but return to the classroom. Listening to the teacher and doing homework with her classmates. He had a notebook by his side, so he picked it up and flipped through it. Meng Fanrong said," What are you looking at?"
Tang Xiangrong gave me the notebook."
"What did he write? Can I see it?”
Ah Hui handed it to him. Meng Fanrong said,"Tang Xiangrong is really interesting." He also gave me a copy. But it's not as good as yours. Your relationship is still deep!
"Come, let me take a look. What's written?”Wang Jinshan said. He took the laptop from Meng Fanrong. Actually, he also had a notebook given by his classmate. After reading it, he said," Who else gave you a souvenir?”
Ah Hui said that she didn't have any more. She was too embarrassed to show them the gifts given by her female classmates.
"Su Shuyuan and Song Xiumei didn't give you anything?”
"No, I haven't."
"I don't believe it. Your essay described them so well, praised them, and sang praises of them.”
Ah Hui's face turned red. Not long ago, he wrote an essay in school," Under the Moonlight." It described the story of the students of Class One, Grade One, Luanxian County No.1 Middle School fighting at night and pulling a cart to transport coal from the railway station during the Great Leap Forward. The Chinese teacher, Zhang Qian, gave a very good evaluation and used it as a model for the class. Su Shuyuan and Song Xiumei were the protagonists of the story. However, the person being praised did not necessarily understand the person praising them. It was normal for them not to give any words.
