In 20 17, an 86-year-old man with white hair came down to a tombstone in Yunnan Martyrs Cemetery with the help of many people because he was too old to move. Seeing the tombstone in front of him, the old man couldn't restrain his inner excitement and burst into tears. Some people may have guessed that buried under this tombstone is his son who died because of the war. Over the years, this is the first time that an old man has visited his son's grave. The old man's name is Pu, and the martyr buried under this tomb is Pu Shiping. But why did the old father come to visit his son's grave after so many years? What's the secret of this period?

Since ancient times, many people who have made brave contributions to the interests of the country and the people have emerged in our country. Pu Shiping is one of them. Since childhood, Pu Shiping has been determined to defend his country. Although the family conditions are difficult, he is not full of resentment towards life at all. On the contrary, he has always been optimistic and meticulous about life.

From 65438 to 0976, Pu Shiping, who wanted to defend his country from childhood, successfully joined the China People's Liberation Army through his own efforts. The hard life since childhood has tempered his perseverance and serious attitude towards things. In the usual military training, he has always maintained the excellent results of the first place. He has a good personality and excellent grades, and his efforts have always been seen by his superiors. Therefore, under the recommendation of his superiors, Pu Shiping had the opportunity to enter the military school for further study.

Soon, the good news reached the ears of Pu Shiping's father, Pu. Pu Haiyun was very happy to hear the news and was pleased with his son's growth. After the story spread in the village, everyone praised Pu Shiping, saying that Pu educated a good son and made Pu earn enough face in the village. After graduating from the military academy, Pu Shiping was assigned to the 1 12 division as the reconnaissance company commander. Pu is very proud of his son. Pu Shiping, who was determined to defend his country since childhood, has now realized his wish, and his old father is sincerely happy. 1979, the artillery fire of Vietnam's counterattack started, and Pu Shiping, who had already made preparations for dedication, immediately signed up for this war without saying anything.

Fighting with the enemy for many days on the battlefield, the situation is excellent, which makes Pu Shiping's heart more active and very brave on the battlefield. But one day in March, the troops who went to the enemy for information were accidentally discovered by the enemy. The situation was urgent, and Pu Shiping calmly responded. He asked his soldiers to evacuate immediately and orderly, and he stayed as a cover. In the face of such dedication, teammates can't help but be very moved. Finally, under the cover of Pu Shiping, the troops evacuated safely.

However, Pu Shiping, who was a cover at that time, failed to escape after being discovered. After being killed by the enemy, the body was destroyed and burned. After learning the news of Pu Shiping's death, the comrades-in-arms were heartbroken and decided to bring back Pu Shiping's body in desperation, so they organized a counterattack and drove away the Vietnamese who burned Pu Shiping's body. But it's too late. There are not many bodies. Thinking that Pu Shiping's father was old and afraid that he could not bear the heavy blow, he concealed it first.

1980, Pulai learned the bad news when he visited his son. He asked to see his son's grave, but after Pu Shiping's death, he was buried. Because the communication technology at that time was very backward, the current troops don't know where Pu Shiping was buried. Coupled with the huge number of people who died in the counterattack against Vietnam at that time, the only thing that can be known is that these people were buried in martyrs' cemeteries all over the southwest. In order to accurately find out the exact location where Pu Shiping was buried, a detailed investigation must be conducted before confirmation. And this investigation process is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Finally, in 20 17, the 86-year-old man finally found his son's grave and fulfilled his wish for many years. This encounter, which was 38 years late, finally met.

summary

Protecting our homeland is the duty of our Chinese sons and daughters. Giving up one's family for the sake of the overall situation will make China a special group of martyrs. Pu Shiping, the son of Pu, gave his life to protect the country and defend the country, which made us clearly realize the great spiritual strength of our predecessors. Besides Pu Haiyun and Pu Shiping, there are many fathers and sons who abandoned their small families and took care of everyone like them. Today, as the younger generation, we should keep this spirit in mind and let it go forever.
