Chapter 668 Hero's Tombstone, Treasure of the Motherland
Soon everyone went directly to the cemetery of the martyrs’ ancestors in Daqingshan.
The old man picked up a stick of incense and faced a large number of tombstones with names and surnames everywhere. The cemetery has been renovated and covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters. There are still some remains that cannot be transported back to the country.
The ones that were erected were cenotaphs, and some of them were joint tombs that were buried according to the will, and they were erected according to the original team.
On the tombstone, the military resume is engraved.

…
There are many such joint burials. In front of these tombstones, there are medals one after another. In addition to the Medal of Patriotism that Daqingshan just received, there are also these ancestors who have achieved meritorious service in the past. One by one, one by one.
, piled up in front of each stone tablet, usually put away specially, and when it is time to worship ancestors, every household will take them out and place them in front of the tombstone of their ancestors.
Under the noon sun at this moment, although the medals were a little thin, they were still bright and eye-catching after being polished. They looked a bit dazzling under the sunlight.
At first glance, the bright lights made the stinging people want to close their eyes and look away. However, when they saw that they were medals soaked in the blood of martyrs, which was the greatest affirmation in their lives, they couldn't help but look serious and look at them.
Medium moist.
No matter how many medals there are, there are ten times or even a hundred times the sacrifices behind it.
"This is a hero of the clan." Hu Zefeng thought silently in his heart. He might not be able to understand it given his age, but seeing all this, he was still very shocked.
"The four words "heroic sacrifice" mean that they did not desert, did not retreat, and did not fear the enemy. They lived and died standing, dedicating their lives to the country and the people." An old staff member belongs to
The leader of the Party History Office said in a deep voice.
"When everyone thinks that Daqingshan is a fluke and made a fortune by taking advantage of policy dividends, when they see these medals one day, they will understand that if Daqingshan relies on policy dividends, what will happen to the country?"
and the people gave them too little."
"Yeah, it's rare to see a chief be so silent. Maybe he never thought before that in a place like Xichuan Province, there would be people who would sacrifice so much for the country. History's records of Daqingshan are biased and too simplistic.
It is far from enough. Although there is no generalissimo here, the sacrifices and dedication here are better than those of individuals covered with generals. The title of a place of military origin cannot cover the numerous military exploits of Daqingshan. Here is
They are treasures of the country, and their spirit and heritage have accompanied our party’s growth and strength.”
The leaders did not whisper to each other, but their low voices revealed incomparable awe and shock.
There are hundreds of thousands of ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the country in Daqingshan. It can be said that if they had a little selfishness, the current population of Daqingshan would have exceeded one million.
It is precisely because of their sacrifice of life that the current 300,000 Daqingshan people are the source of soldiers. It also created the poverty and embarrassment of the lack of labor force in Daqingshan in the early days. But it is also because of their spirit and inheritance that
After many years, Daqingshan's blood will never be lost, and in Li Yang's hands, it once again glows with endless potential.
The old man standing in front, the old man who stood at the pinnacle of power in the country, was silently looking at the tombstones in front of him, his expression extremely solemn and serious. The wind blew from the north and stirred up his clothes, but his eyes were still bright.
looking ahead at the tombstone.
The nearby Daqingshan people also looked at all this seriously.
The entire surrounding atmosphere is oppressive and solemn. In the hero's cemetery, the numerous military exploits are written with legends and medals.
The staff of the Propaganda Department focused their cameras on each of the tombstones, clearly and carefully recording the scene, which will be reported on the news soon.
The old man slowly bent down, bowed deeply three times, and then stepped forward to place the incense himself.
The leaders at the back looked stern, and after bowing in unison, they stepped forward to place incense sticks.
Later, the old man turned around and looked at the veterans standing in the front row. He personally stepped forward to shake hands with them one by one and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The country and the people will never forget you."
Occasionally I meet someone without arms.
The old man saluted the other party solemnly.
Towards the end, the number of disabled people increased. The old man no longer said those words, but looked at the other party with a deep gaze, and shook hands with a stronger hand. There were nearly a thousand veterans left in Daqingshan.
The old men shook hands one by one.
Each of the veterans saluted solemnly. Their dark green military uniforms, thin bodies, and white hair looked so weak. But decades ago, they were still strong and young. It was they who braved the hail of bullets and fought the battle.
This prosperous country and thousands of miles of China.
"Please rest assured that the country and the people will always be the guardians and defenders of national security. Daqingshan will always be the guardian and defender of national security." Nearly a thousand veterans standing in the front row saluted in unison, speaking loudly and solemnly with the accent of Daqingshan.
road.
The more than 200,000 Daqingshan people present at the scene also suddenly had firm and serious eyes, and saluted at the same time, standard and unified. This is the result of military training since childhood.
"Please rest assured that the country and people will always be the guardian and defender of national security."
A series of firm and sonorous oaths echoed in the air for a long time. Listening to this voice made people's hearts surging, but they also felt panicked in their hearts. The thousands of veterans, most of whom were disabled, and the medals in front of them
, tombstones one after another, and countless graves as far as the eye can see.
It makes people unbearable and unwilling to allow such a group of people to contribute to the country again, but in fact, whether it is the flood relief in Xichuan Province, the thousands of miles to rescue the snow disaster in the north, or the Spring Festival Gala that ended last night, nearly 20 billion was spent.
Contributing the most needed agricultural products, electronic products and daily necessities to the people are Daqingshan’s visible contributions to the country in the new historical period.
"The country and the people owe you. Folks, you have done a good enough job. Living your own life well is what the country and the people want to see most." The old man raised his hand tremblingly, with a hint of emotion in his voice.
Cangmai, he is already over sixty years old after all.
The more than 200,000 Daqingshan people present looked serious, and despite the large number of people, there was no messy noise.
"Chief, it's windy near Daqing Mountain, so why not take a rest first." Li Yang stepped forward and walked over.
"Take care of them, take good care of them, and treat them well." The old man looked at Li Yang solemnly, without moving, as if waiting for a positive answer.
"Chief, please rest assured, they are my clansmen and my family." Li Yang said sternly.
