Nine Songs of Anti-Japanese War

Instead, the two would have enjoyed themselves chatting nonsense all the way.Everyone has a lot to clean up after the war, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to sit together and talk for a long time.

"It's a pity that Baoding can't come." Peiping said, "otherwise this road can be more lively."

Tianjin teased him: "Who told you to become the capital of Hebei Province again? It made it impossible for others to take part in a suitable capacity."

"It's a makeshift, and we'll move back when the place stabilizes." Peiping caught a glimpse of what he was writing in his hand from the corner of his eye, and nudged him.Sure enough, Tianjin shrank back to his seat in pain: "Oh! How can you still be a good brother after such a heavy hand!"

"Who taught you to look around."

"I'm just curious...you are, there must be a ghost if you cover it so tightly!"

Peiping unconsciously adopted the tone of a parent admonishing a child—he hadn’t spoken to Tianjin like this for eight years: “Don’t be curious if it’s not your business. I won’t tell you when it’s time to talk. ?”

Tianjin was still hissing and panting while clutching his ribs: "It's still time-sensitive, what you said makes people even more curious."

"Come on, worry about yourself first. Now that you're grown up and at peace, it's time to find someone, right?"

"What?" Tianjin's eyes widened, and then he reacted fiercely: "No, I think it's good now! Freedom, and I can concentrate on work! What kind of expression are you... against arranged marriages!"

Peiping couldn’t laugh or cry: “I’ll just say a few words, you don’t mind if you don’t want to. Since it claims to concentrate on work,” he suddenly remembered that the Soviet Union and Russia, as wartime allies, will return to China next month, and the place will be in Tianjin, or Tianjin itself volunteered , "How about the preparations for receiving foreign guests next month? Don't give some ill-intentioned people a handle."

"Don't worry, it will go smoothly!"

The train finally stopped.This carriage was very empty, and there were no other passengers. Peiping walked to the door of the carriage ahead of Tianjin, carrying a few boxes.The door opened.

Shanghai was on the platform, looking at the two of them with a smile.Wearing an expensive black overcoat, he looked in good spirits.

Beiping showed a friendly smile: "Shanghai? I didn't expect you to pick up the station, condescending."

"Where, Mr. Peiping took the fatal risk of being trampled by the students to pick me up. I arrived one day first, so I just picked up the station by the way."

It has been 14 years since I recalled the past during the turmoil in North China.They are all still their original selves, but they are not anymore. "Oh, that feels like a long time ago..."

"Yeah. But you have to admit that I am a better pick-up person. I successfully picked up the guests, but I didn't let the guests get off the car by themselves and was hit by the crowd, and I had to look for the pick-up person everywhere."

Beiping smiled, and didn't argue with him about words. The three of them changed the subject and continued walking outside the station. In the end, it was Shanghai and Tianjin who started chatting—not surprising, they have been more sympathetic to each other in the past eight years. There is still a group in the ceremony after coming down.This time, city lords from all over the country came to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Cemetery of the Fallen Soldiers. As usual, the large number of people had to be divided into groups. They were not grouped mainly by region as before, but by their location and environment during the War of Resistance.People from Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, etc. were in one group, and people in Beiping and other jurisdictions were mainly active in the rear area after the fall of Beiping.Xi'an and Luoyang, Changsha and Wuhan, which used to be in the same group, will also be in different teams this time.The representatives of the northeast cities did not come due to the situation, they just called to express their admiration and condolences.

On the third morning after that, the inauguration ceremony was held.Although the dead soldiers buried in the cemetery are representative to a certain extent, they are far from representing all the martyrs who died in the War of Resistance. There will be many cemeteries, cemeteries and monuments completed in the future. This is more of a spiritual one. It is a symbol, an opportunity to bring together as many important city owners as possible across the country to show respect and remembrance to those who gave their lives for the motherland.

After all, the future is unpredictable and the world is difficult, and we don't know when we will be able to reunite next time, drawing a solemn enough end to the blood and tears of these years.

It snowed quietly at night.The continuous convoy was driving on the way to the suburban cemetery, and unknowingly found that the ground and mountains were completely white.A few hundred meters away from the destination, the convoy stopped.Everyone lined up in their own teams, stepping on the fresh snow that made a slight creaking sound, one team after another, entering the park quietly and orderly.

Two guards holding army flags stand majestically on both sides of the monument.Nanjing should be the first to arrive, and was standing in front of the stele with Min.His face was very white against the snow, with a calm and solemn expression.They walked through the lines one by one, said hello briefly, and then the presiding officer announced the beginning of the ceremony.

First the national anthem was played.Then Min stood in front of the stage and read the sacrificial oration.The sacrificial text was tragic and touching, but not many people really paid attention to its contents—they had already sunk into the emotions they should have when they drove for a long way in the convoy and then walked into the cemetery in silence. Sorrow or joy, life and death flashed before their eyes. Many people had to grit their teeth to control the tears in their eyes, and more people bowed their heads silently.

After the sacrificial service, representatives of each team laid wreaths and delivered speeches.When everyone returned to the team, a row of salutes was carried to the front.Nanjing stood at the front, leading the city lord with military ranks to salute; the rest of the people paid attention.

At this time, the officer of the guard of honor shouted: "Prepare—"

"put!"

The salute was fired, and the snow and dust scattered.Repeated this three times, the roar echoed between the wilderness and the mountains, and the people in each team still held their hands by the brim of their hats, looking at the towering monument without moving.

In the mountain forest, several swan geese were startled into the air by the sound of the cannon, but they just kept circling and refused to leave.They lingered on the snow-covered cemetery for a long time, making a long cry...
